(“Linkhome,” “Linkhome Holdings,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) is a holding company incorporated in the State of Nevada on November 6, 2023. The Company conducts substantially all of its operations through its wholly owned subsidiary, Linkhome Realty Group, a California corporation (“Linkhome Realty”). Headquartered in Irvine, California, the Company currently focuses on the California markets and is gradually expanding its operations into additional markets across the United States. Linkhome is developing an artificial intelligence–enabled real estate services platform designed to improve the efficiency, transparency and accessibility of residential real estate transactions. Our platform integrates traditional real estate brokerage services with technology-driven tools that streamline property search, transaction coordination and related services for homebuyers and sellers. Through our operating subsidiary, Linkhome Realty, we provide a range of real estate-related services, including residential real estate brokerage services, fintech-enabled services, property management services and mortgage advisory services. Our objective is to provide clients with a comprehensive service ecosystem that supports multiple stages of the real estate transaction lifecycle. In addition, as part of our fintech initiatives, we operate a Cash Offer program designed to help homebuyers compete more effectively in competitive real estate markets by enabling them to present all-cash offers on properties. Under this program, the Company may temporarily acquire residential properties using its own capital and subsequently transfer those properties to the end buyer within a short period of time. We believe this program enhances our ability to attract clients and facilitates more efficient real estate transactions. Historically, funding for the Cash Offer program primarily came from investments made by our Chief Executive Officer and other shareholders. Following our initial public offering in 2025, we expect to continue expanding the program using a combination of available capital, operating cash flows and other financing sources. Our long-term strategy is to continue developing a technology-driven real estate platform that integrates artificial intelligence with real estate and financial services, enabling us to improve transaction efficiency, expand our service capabilities and support the long-term growth of our business. 28 Technology and AI Platform Strategy We are developing an artificial intelligence–enabled real estate platform designed to enhance the efficiency, transparency and accessibility of residential real estate transactions. Our technology strategy focuses on integrating data, artificial intelligence and digital tools into the real estate transaction process to improve property discovery, transaction coordination and client engagement. Our platform is designed to support multiple stages of the real estate transaction lifecycle, including property search, client matching, transaction management and related financial services. By leveraging artificial intelligence and data analytics, we aim to provide users with more relevant property information, improve transaction efficiency and enhance the overall customer experience. Over time, we intend to expand the capabilities of our platform to include additional technology-enabled services, such as automated property analysis, intelligent client matching and digital transaction management tools. We believe that integrating technology with traditional real estate services will enable us to scale our operations more efficiently and strengthen our competitive position in the real estate market. Our long-term objective is to build a technology-driven real estate platform that connects property search, brokerage services and financial services within a unified ecosystem. We believe this approach will enable us to create a more streamlined and transparent path to homeownership while supporting the long-term growth of our business. Fintech-Enabled Cash Offer Program In competitive housing markets, sellers often prefer offers that are not contingent on mortgage financing. As part of our fintech-enabled services, we operate a Cash Offer program designed to help clients present all-cash offers on residential properties, which may increase the likelihood that their offers are accepted. Under this program, the Company may temporarily acquire a residential property using its own capital and subsequently transfer the property to the client once the client’s financing is finalized. These transactions are typically completed within a short time frame. We believe our Cash Offer program represents a fintech-enabled solution within the residential real estate transaction process, providing several strategic benefits: ● improves our clients’ competitiveness in fast-moving housing markets ● enhances transaction efficiency for buyers and sellers ● expands our ability to generate transaction-based revenue ● strengthens client acquisition for our real estate services platform Key Factors that Affect Our Results of Operations ● Market Conditions: Fluctuations in the residential real estate market, including changes in housing supply, buyer demand, mortgage interest rates, and general economic conditions, can significantly affect our business. Periods of rising interest rates may reduce home affordability and transaction volumes, while periods of stronger economic growth and consumer confidence may increase housing demand. ● Technology Development and AI Integration: We are investing in technology and artificial intelligence capabilities designed to enhance the real estate transaction process, including tools for property search, client engagement and transaction support. Our ability to effectively integrate technology into our services may influence our operational efficiency and long-term growth potential. ● Client Preferences and Demands: Our Cash Offer program represents a key driver of our revenue growth. The volume of transactions completed through this program depends on market conditions, the availability of capital and the level of demand from homebuyers seeking to compete with cash offers in competitive housing markets.We continuously assess client feedback, market research and industry trends to improve our services. 29 ● Competitive Landscape: The residential real estate industry is highly competitive. We compete with traditional real estate brokerages as well as technology-enabled real estate platforms. Our ability to differentiate our services through technology, service quality and transaction efficiency is critical to maintaining and expanding our market position. ● Economic Factors: We aim to continuously evaluate macroeconomic factors, such as GDP growth, employment rates, inflation, which can influence real estate market dynamics and consumer behavior. When GDP growth and employment rates are strong, we typically see higher consumer confidence and spending power. On the other hand, rising inflation can lead to increased interest rates, potentially reducing consumer buying power and making it more expensive for consumers to purchase homes. ● Operational Efficiency: Real estate transactions involve multiple operational steps, including marketing, negotiation, escrow coordination and closing. Our ability to efficiently manage these processes, while leveraging technology to streamline workflows, is important to maintaining profitability and scaling our operations.

Selected Income Statement Items Net Revenues We derive our net revenues from (i) real estate purchases and sales made through Cash Offer, and (ii) real estate services including acting as real estate agency for buying and selling properties, property management, home renovation and mortgage referral services. The following table presents our net revenues by revenue stream for the periods presented: Years Ended December 31, 2025 2024 Change Amount % Amount % Amount % Revenue from property purchases and sales through Cash Offer $ 20,154,262 96.00 % $ 6,568,404 86.25 % $ 13,585,858 206.84 % Real estate service revenue Real estate agency commission 657,914 3.13 % 781,351 10.26 % (123,437 ) (15.80 )% Property management service 35,148 0.17 % 16,276 0.21 % 18,872 115.95 % Home renovation service 82,769 0.39 % 245,226 3.22 % (162,457 ) (66.25 )% Mortgage referral fee 64,254 0.31 % 4,050 0.05 % 60,204 1,486.52 % Total real estate service revenue 840,085 4.00 % 1,046,903 13.75 % (206,818 ) (19.76 )% Total net revenues $ 20,994,347 100.00 % $ 7,615,307 100.00 % $ 13,379,040 175.69 % 31 Revenue from Property Purchases and Sales Through Cash Offer In a competitive real estate market, a buyer who pays in cash is more likely to secure a property. To give buyers an edge in competitive markets, we offer the Cash Offer program to enable buyers to make all-cash offers on properties, even if they require financing. Through the Cash Offer program, we facilitate cash offers for clients and may temporarily acquire properties before transferring them to the clients within a short period of time. Our property purchases and sales through Cash Offer primarily involve residential properties. Revenue from property purchases and sales through our Cash Offer program accounted for 96.00% and 86.25% of net revenues for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Our revenue from this program increased by $13,585,858, or 206.84%, from $6,568,404 for the year ended December 31, 2024 to $20,154,262 for the year ended December 31, 2025. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we completed 20 and 6 property transactions, respectively, through the Cash Offer program. The increase in revenue was primarily driven by the higher number of transactions and increased transaction volume. The average transaction price was approximately $1.02 million and $1.08 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Real Estate Service Revenue We offer comprehensive real estate services tailored to meet the diverse needs of our clients. Our real estate service revenue consists primarily of real estate agency commissions for buying and selling properties for clients, and revenue generated from property management, home renovation and mortgage referral services. Real estate service revenue accounted for 4.00% and 13.75% of net revenues for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Real estate service revenue decreased by $206,818, or 19.76%, from $1,046,903 for the year ended December 31, 2024 to $840,085 for the year ended December 31, 2025, primarily due to decreases in real estate agency commissions and home renovation service revenue, partially offset by increases in property management and mortgage referral services. Real estate agency commission revenue decreased by $123,437, or 15.80%, from $781,351 for the year ended December 31, 2024 to $657,914 for the year ended December 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in the number of real estate transactions and overall transaction volume. For the year ended December 31, 2025, we completed 22 real estate transactions with total transaction volume of approximately $29.5 million, compared to 46 transactions with total transaction volume of approximately $48.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The average transaction price increased from approximately $1.06 million in 2024 to $1.34 million in 2025. Gross commissions were partially offset by client rebates, which were $169,946 and $208,125 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, representing approximately 20.53% and 21.03% of gross commissions for the respective periods. Revenue from home renovation services decreased by $162,457, or 66.25%, from $245,226 for the year ended December 31, 2024 to $82,769 for the year ended December 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily attributable to a lower number of renovation projects. We completed three renovation projects in 2025, compared to 15 renovation projects in 2024. Revenue from mortgage referral services increased by $60,204, or 1,486.52%, from $4,050 for the year ended December 31, 2024 to $64,254 for the year ended December 31, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in the number of mortgage referrals. We assisted 12 clients in securing mortgage loans in 2025, compared to one client in 2024. Revenue from property management services increased by $18,872, or 115.95%, from $16,276 for the year ended December 31, 2024 to $35,148 for the year ended December 31, 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to growth in tenant placement services and the number of properties under ongoing property management. We completed 10 tenant placements in 2025, compared to nine tenant placements in 2024. In addition, the number of properties under ongoing property management increased to six properties as of December 31, 2025, compared to three properties as of December 31, 2024. 32 Cost of Revenues Our cost of revenues consists primarily of (i) costs related to property purchases made through the Cash Offer program, which properties are subsequently sold to customers, and (ii) costs associated with real estate services, including commission expenses for real estate agents and renovation costs incurred for home renovation services. We derive our cost of revenues from two revenue streams: (i) property purchases and sales through Cash Offer and (ii) real estate services. The following table presents our cost of revenues by revenue stream for the periods presented. Years Ended December 31, 2025 2024 Change Amount % Amount % Amount % Cost of property purchases and sales through Cash Offer $ 20,004,797 98.93 % $ 5,928,865 96.48 % $ 14,075,932 237.41 % Cost of real estate services 216,533 1.07 % 216,061 3.52 % 472 0.22 % Total cost of revenues $ 20,221,330 100.00 % $ 6,144,926 100.00 % $ 14,076,404 229.07 % Cost of property purchases and sales through Cash Offer increased by $14,075,932, or 237.41%, from $5,928,865 for the year ended December 31, 2024 to $20,004,797 for the year ended December 31, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by a higher volume of Cash Offer transactions in 2025 compared to 2024. Cost of real estate services remained relatively stable, increasing by $472, from $216,061 for the year ended December 31, 2024 to $216,533 for the year ended December 31, 2025. The change in cost of real estate services was primarily attributable to higher real estate agency service costs, partially offset by lower home renovation service costs. Real estate agency service costs increased from $12,926 in 2024 to $146,810 in 2025, primarily due to increased commission expenses associated with real estate agency transactions. In contrast, home renovation service costs decreased from $201,017 in 2024 to $69,724 in 2025, reflecting the lower number of renovation projects in 2025 compared to 2024. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses Our selling expenses primarily consist of staging, advertising and marketing costs, including online and offline marketing, photography and videography. We expect our selling expenses to increase in absolute amounts as we continue to expand our marketing activities; however, we expect selling expenses as a percentage of net revenues to remain relatively stable or decrease over time as our revenues grow. Our general and administrative expenses primarily consist of professional service costs, payroll and payroll-related costs, rent and other overhead costs. As a public company, we expect to incur additional costs associated with regulatory compliance, legal, accounting and other professional services. While these costs may increase our general and administrative expenses in absolute amounts, we expect our general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues to decrease over the long term as we continue to scale our operations and improve operating efficiency. 33 Results of Operations Comparison of the Years Ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 The following table summarized our consolidated results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024: Years Ended December 31, 2025 % of Revenues 2024 % of Revenues Change Percentage Change Net revenues $ 20,994,347 100.00 % $ 7,615,307 100.00 % $ 13,379,040 175.69 % Cost of revenues 20,221,330 96.32 % 6,144,926 80.69 % 14,076,404 229.07 % Gross profit 773,017 3.68 % 1,470,381 19.31 % (697,364 ) (47.43 )% Operating expenses Selling expenses 34,141 0.16 % 15,754 0.21 % 18,387 116.71 % General and administrative expenses 662,444 3.16 % 365,207 4.80 % 297,237 81.39 % Total operating expenses 696,585 3.32 % 380,961 5.01 % 315,624 82.85 % Operating income 76,432 0.36 % 1,089,420 14.30 % (1,012,988 ) (92.98 )% Other income (expenses), net 49,775 0.24 % (1,832 ) (0.02 )% 51,607 (2,816.98 )% Income before income taxes 126,207 0.60 % 1,087,588 14.28 % (961,381 ) (88.40 )% Income tax expense 51,333 0.24 % 309,352 4.06 % (258,019 ) (83.41 )% Net income $ 74,874 0.36 % $ 778,236 10.22 % $ (703,362 ) (90.38 )% Net Revenues Net revenues for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $20,994,347 and $7,615,307, respectively, representing an increase of $13,379,040, or 175.69%. This increase was primarily driven by a $13,585,858 increase in revenue from property purchases and sales through Cash Offer, partially offset by a $206,818 decrease in real estate service revenue. The growth in Cash Offer revenue was primarily attributable to a higher number of property transactions completed through the Cash Offer program in 2025 compared to 2024. Cost of Revenues Years Ended December 31, 2025 2024 Change Percentage Change Cost of property purchases and sales through Cash Offer $ 20,004,797 $ 5,928,865 $ 14,075,932 237.41 % Cost of real estate services 216,533 216,061 472 0.22 % Total cost of revenues $ 20,221,330 $ 6,144,926 $ 14,076,404 229.07 % As a percentage of net revenues 96.32 % 80.69 % Cost of revenues for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $20,221,330 and $6,144,926, respectively, representing an increase of $14,076,404, or 229.07%. The increase was primarily driven by higher costs associated with property purchases and sales through the Cash Offer program as the number and value of Cash Offer transactions increased significantly in 2025 compared to 2024. Cost of real estate services remained relatively stable, increasing slightly from $216,061 in 2024 to $216,533 in 2025. 34 Gross Profit and Gross Margin Years Ended December 31, 2025 2024 Gross Profit Gross Margin Gross Profit Gross Margin Property purchases and sales through Cash Offer $ 149,465 0.71 % $ 639,539 8.40 % Real estate services 623,552 2.97 % 830,842 10.91 % Total $ 773,017 3.68 % $ 1,470,381 19.31 % Gross profit for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $773,017 and $1,470,381, respectively, representing a decrease of $697,364, or 47.43%. The blended gross margin was 3.68% for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to 19.31% for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease in gross margin was primarily attributable to lower margins on property purchases and sales through the Cash Offer program as the Company significantly increased transaction volume in 2025. Gross profit from property purchases and sales through the Cash Offer program decreased to $149,465 in 2025, compared to $639,539 in 2024, primarily due to lower margins on these transactions. Gross profit from real estate services decreased from $830,842 in 2024 to $623,552 in 2025, primarily due to lower home renovation service revenue and lower real estate agency commission revenue. Selling Expenses Selling expenses for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $34,141 and $15,754, respectively, representing an increase of $18,387, or 116.71%. The increase was primarily attributable to higher advertising and marketing expenditures as the Company continued to expand its marketing efforts to support the growth of its real estate transaction volume. General and Administrative Expenses The following table summarized our general and administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024: Years Ended December 31, 2025 2024 Change Percentage Change Legal and accounting expenses $ 218,250 $ 99,363 $ 118,887 119.65 % Payroll expense 180,834 152,256 28,578 18.77 % Payroll tax expense 16,469 13,795 2,674 19.38 % Rent expenses 108,570 46,572 61,998 133.12 % Depreciation and amortization expenses 47,002 18,762 28,240 150.52 % Other general and administrative expenses 91,319 34,459 56,860 165.01 % Total general and administrative expenses $ 662,444 $ 365,207 $ 297,237 81.39 % As a percentage of net revenues 3.16 % 4.80 % General and administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $662,444 and $365,207, respectively, representing an increase of $297,237, or 81.39%. The increase was primarily driven by higher legal and accounting expenses, rent expenses, payroll and payroll tax expenses, depreciation and amortization expenses, and other general and administrative expenses. 35 Legal and accounting expenses increased by $118,887, primarily due to additional costs associated with regulatory compliance, legal, accounting and other professional services following the Company’s initial public offering. Rent expenses increased by $61,998, primarily due to the Company relocating to a new office in 2025 with higher lease costs, as well as additional technology-related lease arrangements. Payroll and payroll tax expenses increased by $31,252, primarily due to the hiring of additional employees. Depreciation and amortization expenses increased by $28,240, primarily due to purchases of furniture, leasehold improvements, and the capitalization and amortization of internally developed software, including the Company’s website and mobile application. Other general and administrative expenses increased by $56,860, primarily due to higher administrative and operational costs associated with the expansion of the Company’s business activities. Other Income (Expenses), Net Other income (expenses), net was income of $49,775 for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to expense of $1,832 for the year ended December 31, 2024. Other income in 2025 primarily consisted of interest income and other miscellaneous income, partially offset by interest expense and realized loss on trading securities. Other expenses in 2024 primarily consisted of interest expense, partially offset by credit card rebates and bank rewards. Income Tax Expense Income tax expense for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $51,333 and $309,352, respectively, representing a decrease of $258,019, or 83.41%. The decrease in income tax expense was primarily attributable to lower net income before income taxes in 2025. Net Income Net income for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $74,874 and $778,236, respectively, representing a decrease of $703,362, or 90.38%. The decrease in net income was primarily attributable to lower gross profit in 2025, partially offset by the increase in net revenues. Liquidity and Capital Resources Historically, the Company has funded its operations and working capital requirements primarily through operating cash flows, shareholder contributions and equity financing. Our liquidity position improved significantly during 2025, primarily due to proceeds from the issuance of common stock in connection with our initial public offering. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $7,018,931, compared to $1,670,949 as of December 31, 2024. We believe that our current cash position and expected operating cash flows will be sufficient to meet our working capital and operating requirements for at least the next twelve months from the date of issuance of the consolidated financial statements. However, as we continue to expand our business, including potential investments in technology development and real estate transaction activities, we may seek additional financing from time to time. Such financing may include equity financing, debt financing or other strategic funding sources. Any financing involving the issuance of equity securities or securities convertible into equity could result in dilution to our existing stockholders. 36 Cash Flows For the Years Ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 As of December 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $7,018,931, other current assets of $128,235, current liabilities of $2,082,601, net working capital of $5,064,565, and a current ratio of 3.43:1.

Contractual Obligations Our contractual obligations as of December 31, 2025 were as follows: 1 Year or Less More Than 1 Year Total Operating lease liabilities $ 109,711 $ 266,282 $ 375,993 Auto loan payable 8,631 26,754 35,385 Total $ 118,342 $ 293,036 $ 411,378 Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. Trend Information Other than as disclosed elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we are not aware of any trends, uncertainties, demands, commitments, or events that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on our revenue, income from operations, net income, liquidity, or capital resources, or that would cause reported financial information not necessarily to be indicative of future operating results or financial condition. Inflation Inflation and rising interest rates have significantly influenced the economic environment, impacting our operations and financial performance. Monetary authorities, in response to heightened inflationary pressures, have raised interest rates, which has increased borrowing costs and reduced the availability of financing. These changes have directly affected the real estate market by making mortgages less affordable for potential homebuyers, leading to decreased demand for real estate. We continue to monitor inflation, monetary policy changes, and their potential adverse effects on our business. Despite these challenges, higher interest rates have reduced competition among buyers, which may create opportunities for certain buyers in the real estate market. Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements. These financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of our assets and liabilities and revenue and expenses, to disclose contingent assets and liabilities on the date of the consolidated financial statements, and to disclose the reported amounts of revenue and expenses incurred during the financial reporting period. We continue to evaluate these estimates and assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. We rely on these evaluations as the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Since the use of estimates is an integral component of the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from those estimates. Some of our accounting policies require higher degrees of judgment than others in their application. We believe that the critical accounting policies disclosed in this Annual Report on Form 10-K reflect the more significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Further, as an emerging growth company, we have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for emerging growth companies until the earlier of the date that we (i) are no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, these financial statements contained in our subsequent filings with the SEC may not be comparable to other public companies. 38 The following critical accounting policies rely upon assumptions and estimates and were used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements: Use of Estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the dates of the consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates and judgments include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, allowance for credit losses, income taxes, the useful lives of long-lived assets and assumptions used in assessing impairment of long-lived assets. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Although actual amounts may differ from the estimated amounts, such differences are not likely to be material. Revenue Recognition In accordance with ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration that the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for these goods or services. The Company recognizes revenues following the five-step model prescribed under ASU No. 2014-09: (i) identifies contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identifies the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determines the transaction price; (iv) allocates the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognizes revenues when (or as) it satisfies the performance obligation. The Company derives its revenues primarily from real estate services and real estate purchases and sales through Cash Offer. Real Estate Service Revenue The Company’s real estate service revenue consists primarily of real estate agency commission for buying and selling properties for clients, revenue generated from property management service, home renovation service, and mortgage referral service. The Company earns agency commission revenue, usually at a fixed percentage of property’s selling price, through facilitating the buy or sale of various types of properties, including residential, commercial, and land parcels. The Company is considered an agent for these services provided, and reports service revenue earned through these transactions on a net basis. Revenue is recognized when the agency service is provided, usually at the closing of the escrow. Prior to November 17, 2023, the Company conducted real estate transactions through a licensed third-party brokerage firm. On November 17, 2023, Linkhome Realty obtained its own real estate broker license, allowing the Company to conduct brokerage transactions independently. 39 The Company provides property management services, which include two primary activities: tenant placement and ongoing property management. Tenant placement services involve marketing the property, identifying suitable tenants, and facilitating the rental agreement. For these services, the Company acts as an agent and charges a rental commission, either as a percentage of the first year’s rent or a fixed fee. Revenue from tenant placement is recognized at a point in time when a tenant is secured, and the lease contract is executed. Additionally, the Company provides ongoing property management services, which may include collecting rent on behalf of the landlord, coordinating maintenance and repairs, and addressing tenant inquiries during the lease term. For these services, the Company also acts as an agent and charges a service fee. Revenue from ongoing property management is recognized over time as the services are rendered, as the landlord simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the Company’s efforts. The Company also offers a full range of home renovation services, from bathroom and kitchen renovations to customized home renovations and extensions, helping clients prepare their homes for sale or personalize newly purchased properties. The Company considers itself as a principal for this service as it has control of the specified service at any time before it is transferred to the customer, which is evidenced by (i) the Company is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promises to provide home renovation services meeting customer specifications, and assumes fulfilment risk (i.e., risk that the performance obligation will not be satisfied); and (ii) the Company has discretion in selecting third-party renovation contractors and establishing the price, and bears the risk for services that are not fully paid for by customers. The renovation period is usually within one to three months; the Company recognizes revenue when the renovation service is completed, on a gross basis with corresponding costs incurred. In addition, the Company collaborates with lending institutions and mortgage brokers to assist clients in seeking and securing mortgage services, and aiding clients in the process of obtaining loans or financing for property purchases. Revenue is recognized when the related loan transaction is completed and the Company becomes entitled to the referral fee. Revenue from Property Purchases and Sales through Cash Offer The Company’s revenue from purchases and sales through its Cash Offer program primarily consists of purchasing residential properties and subsequently reselling those properties to customers within a short period of time. Under the Cash Offer program, the Company may purchase residential properties using its own capital, with title transferred to Linkhome Realty, and subsequently resell the properties to customers. Both purchase and sales transactions go through an escrow company. The Company is the principal of these transactions and recognizes revenue and cost when the property purchased is sold and escrow is closed. This type of revenue does not contain a financing component due to there being no difference between the amount of promised consideration and the cash selling price of the promised goods or services, and the length of time between when the Company transfers the promised goods or services to the customer and when the customer pays for those goods is very short, usually within a few weeks or a few months. Credit Losses On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASC 326”). This standard replaced the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) methodology. CECL requires an estimate of credit losses for the remaining estimated life of the financial asset using historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts and generally applies to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables and held-to-maturity debt securities, and some off-balance sheet credit exposures such as unfunded commitments to extend credit. Financial assets measured at amortized cost will be presented at the net amount expected to be collected by using an allowance for credit losses. In addition, CECL made changes to the accounting for available-for-sale debt securities. One such change is to require credit losses to be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down on available-for-sale debt securities if management does not intend to sell and does not believe that it is more likely than not they will be required to sell. The Company adopted ASC 326 and all related subsequent amendments thereto effective January 1, 2023, using the modified retrospective approach for all financial assets measured at amortized cost and off-balance sheet credit exposures. There was no transition adjustment upon the adoption of CECL. 40 The Company’s accounts receivable and prepaid expense in the consolidated balance sheets are within the scope of ASC Topic 326. As the Company has limited customers and debtors, the Company uses the loss-rate method to evaluate the expected credit losses on an individual basis. When establishing the loss rate, the Company makes the assessment on various factors, including historical experience, creditworthiness of customers and debtors, current economic conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, and other factors that may affect its ability to collect from the customers and debtors. The Company also provides specific provisions for allowance when facts and circumstances indicate that the receivable is unlikely to be collected. Expected credit losses are recorded as an allowance for credit losses, which is netted against accounts receivable in the consolidated balance sheets, and are recognized as an expense in the consolidated statements of income. Receivables are written off against the allowance when all collection efforts have been exhausted and recovery is deemed remote. If the Company recovers amounts that were previously written off, the recovered amounts are recognized as a reduction to the provision for credit losses in the consolidated statements of income. Accounts Receivable, Net Accounts receivable represent the amounts that the Company has an unconditional right to consideration, which are stated at the historical carrying amount net of allowance for credit losses. The Company maintains allowances for credit losses for estimated losses. The Company reviews the accounts receivable on a periodic basis and makes allowances when there is doubt as to the collectability of individual balances. In evaluating the collectability of individual receivable balances, the Company considers many factors, including historical losses, the age of the receivable balance, the customer’s historical payment pattens and creditworthiness, current economic conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions. Accounts are written off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had no allowances for credit losses. Impairment of Long-lived Assets Long-lived assets, which include property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The recoverability of long-lived assets to be held and used is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the assets. Fair value is generally determined using the asset’s expected future discounted cash flows or market value, if readily determinable. The Company evaluates events and changes in circumstances that could indicate the carrying amounts of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. When such events or changes in circumstances occur, the Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets by determining whether the carrying value of such assets will be recovered through undiscounted expected future cash flows. If the total of the future undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of those assets, the Company records an impairment charge in the period in which such a determination is made. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Based on the above analysis, no impairment loss was recognized related to these assets for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. Income Taxes The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” Under this method, income tax expense is recognized for the amount of: (i) taxes payable or refundable for the current period and (ii) deferred tax consequences of temporary differences resulting from matters that have been recognized in an entity’s financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets also include the prior years’ net operating losses carried forward. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if based on the weight of the available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. 41 The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 740, which prescribes a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FASB ASC Topic 740 also provides guidance on recognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, accounting for income taxes in interim periods, and income tax disclosures. Under the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 740, when tax returns are filed, it is likely some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. Interest associated with unrecognized tax benefits is classified as interest expense and penalties are classified in selling, general and administrative expenses in the statements of income. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not take any uncertain positions that would necessitate recording a tax related liability. Prior to January 1, 2024, Linkhome Realty filed its income tax return under Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRS”) as a S-corporation, and elected to be taxed as a pass-through entity, for which the income, losses, deductions, and credits flow through to the shareholders of the company for federal income tax purposes. Effective January 1, 2024, Linkhome Realty’s tax status became C-corporation, and is subject to a federal income tax rate of 21% and California state income tax rate of 8.84%. As a parent holding company of Linkhome Realty, Linkhome Holdings was incorporated in the State of Nevada on November 6, 2023, and is only subject to a federal income tax rate of 21%. Effective for the tax year beginning January 1, 2024, and continuing thereafter unless revoked, Linkhome Holdings and Linkhome Realty have elected to file a consolidated federal income tax return. New Accounting Pronouncements The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs and periodically reviews new accounting standards that are issued. Under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, as amended (the “JOBS Act”), the Company meets the definition of an emerging growth company and has elected the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards, which delays the adoption of these accounting standards until they would apply to private companies. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.” The amendments in the ASU are intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss. In addition, the amendments enhance interim disclosure requirements, clarify circumstances in which an entity can disclose multiple segment measures of profit or loss, provide new segment disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment, and contain other disclosure requirements. The purpose of the amendments is to enable “investors to better understand an entity’s overall performance” and assess “potential future cash flows.” The amendments in ASU 2023-07 are effective for all public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 for the year ended December 31, 2024, and the adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. 42 In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” which requires enhanced income tax disclosures, including additional information in the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 for the year ended December 31, 2025, and the adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Pending Adoption In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40),” which is intended to improve disclosures about a public business entity’s expenses and provide more detailed information about the nature of expenses included in commonly presented expense captions, such as cost of revenues and selling, general and administrative expenses. The amendments require entities to disclose, in the notes to the financial statements, specified information about certain expense categories, including employee compensation, depreciation, and amortization, within relevant income statement captions. The amendments also require tabular disclosures of such disaggregated expense information, as well as qualitative descriptions of the remaining amounts not separately disaggregated. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, which clarifies the effective date of ASU 2024-03. As clarified, the amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2024-03 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company does not believe that any other recently issued but not yet effective authoritative guidance, if adopted currently, would have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.
