The portfolio is actively managed, and securities are bought and sold with the intent to realize gains from price movements within a short-term horizon.

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision makers (the “CODMs”), or decision–making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision makers are the two Co-CEOs, who review and assess the performance of the Company as a whole. The Company reports its segment information to reflect the manner in which the CODMs review and assess performance. The Company has four operating segments based on the products and services we offer, which include three of our principal businesses – real estate, digital transformation technology and biohealth – as well as a fourth category consisting of certain other business activities. In determination of segments, the Company, together with its CODMs, considers factors that include the nature of business activities, allocation of resources and management structure.

The primary financial measures used by the CODMs to evaluate performance and allocate resources are net income (loss) and operating income (loss). The CODMs use net income (loss) and operating income (loss) to evaluate the performance of the Company’s ongoing operations and as part of the Company’s internal planning and forecasting processes. Information on net income (loss) and operating income (loss) is disclosed in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Segment expenses and other segment items are provided to the CODMs on the same basis as disclosed in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Acquisition of New Energy Asia Pacific Inc.

On December 13, 2023 the Company entered into a term sheet with Chan Heng Fai (the “Seller”), the Chairman of the Board of Directors, Chief Executive Officer and largest stockholder of the Company. The Company had agreed to purchase from the Seller all of the issued and outstanding shares of New Energy Asia Pacific Inc. (“NEAPI”), a corporation incorporated in the State of Nevada, for the consideration of $103,750,000, to be paid in the form of a convertible promissory note to be issued to the Seller. NEAPI owns 41.5% of the issued and outstanding shares of New Energy Asia Pacific Limited (“New Energy”), a Hong Kong corporation.

The parties mutually agreed to revise this agreement, and on May 8, 2025, the Company and the Seller entered into an Amended Term Sheet (the “Amended Term Sheet”). Under the terms of the Amended Term Sheet, the Company agreed to purchase from the Seller all of the outstanding shares of NEAPI through a stock purchase agreement for a purchase price of $83,000,000 in the form of a promissory note convertible into newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Convertible Note”). The Convertible Note had an interest rate of 1% per annum. Under the terms of the Convertible Note, the Seller was able to convert any outstanding principal and interest into shares of the Company’s common stock at $3.00 per share upon ten (10) days’ notice prior to maturity of the Convertible Note five (5) years from the date of the Amended Term Sheet, and upon maturity of the Convertible Note any outstanding principal and accrued interest accrued thereunder would automatically be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock at the conversion rate.

New Energy focuses on distributing all-electric versions of special-purpose and transportation vehicles, charging stations and batteries. The Company intends for this to be a strategic move, in line with the Company’s commitment to advancing sustainable and eco-friendly solutions for the future. The Seller is a member of the Board of Directors of New Energy and is a stockholder of New Energy.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recognized an impairment charge of approximately $30.1 million related to its investment in New Energy. The impairment was recognized after management determined that the decline in fair value below carrying value was other-than-temporary, based on factors including:

  • delays in the execution and commercialization of New Energy’s taxi delivery projects;
  • revised cash flow projections, including slower ramp-up and longer implementation timelines; and
  • changes in market conditions in the distributed energy sector, including broader global geopolitical uncertainty.

The Company valued its investment using a discounted cash flow methodology based on updated assumptions. The impairment primarily reflects delays in execution and cash flow realization, rather than a fundamental change in business outlook.

Reorganization of Real Estate Business and Spin-off

On August 1, 2025, the Company’s indirect majority-owned subsidiary Winning Catering Group, Inc. (then known as LiquidValue Development Inc., or “LVD”) entered into a Contribution Agreement with Alset Real Estate Holdings Inc., its wholly owned subsidiary (“Alset Real Estate Holdings”). Pursuant to the terms of the Contribution Agreement, LVD agreed to transfer its ownership of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Alset EHome Inc., the company that owned substantially all of the assets and liabilities of LVD, to Alset Real Estate Holdings. On August 18, 2025, LVD completed the distribution of substantially all of its assets to holders of its common stock as of August 15, 2025, in the form of a one-time special dividend (the “Distribution”). The Distribution consisted of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Alset Real Estate Holdings Inc., having an aggregate fair market value of approximately $34.8 million as of the date of Distribution, and constituting substantially all of LVD’s net asset value. LVD shareholders received shares on a pro rata basis, based on the number of shares of the LVD’s common stock. Following this transaction, LVD had no material operations or sources of revenue and would be considered a shell company. Because of the Contribution Agreement and the Distribution, the Company’s ownership interest in Alset Real Estate Holdings Inc. mirrors its ownership interest in LVD at the time of the Distribution. Therefore, the Company’s ownership interest in Alset EHome Inc. and its real estate business remains unchanged following the transactions described above.

On September 22, 2025, LiquidValue Development Inc. changed its name to “Winning Catering Group, Inc.” in anticipation of a planned merger pursuant to an Acquisition Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Acquisition Agreement”) entered into on May 30, 2025 (such merger has not yet closed as of the date hereof). The Acquisition Agreement was entered into by LVD with (i) SeD Intelligent Home Inc., a Nevada corporation, the majority shareholder of LVD and an indirect majority-owned subsidiary of the Company (“SeD”); (ii) LVD Merger Corp., a Nevada corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of LVD (the “Merger Sub”); (iii) Winning Catering Management Limited, a British Virgin Islands corporation (“Winning Group”); (iv) Winning Holdings Limited, a British Virgin Islands corporation (“Winning Holdings”); and (iv) Pure Talent Group Limited, a British Virgin Islands corporation (“PTGL” and collectively, the “Parties”). Pursuant to the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, the Merger Sub will merge with and into Winning Group (the “Merger”), with Winning Group surviving the Merger. Following the Merger, Winning Group will become a wholly owned subsidiary of LVD. In connection with the Merger and as part of the transaction structure, the Parties also agreed that: 3,754,897,728 new fully paid, non-assessable shares of LVD’s common stock will be issued to Winning Holdings and 234,681,108 shares will be issued to PTGL. At the closing of these transactions, (i) Winning Holdings will own 80% of the issued and outstanding shares of LVD; (ii) SeD and other existing stockholders will retain 15% of the LVD’s shares; and (iii) PTGL will own 5% of LVD’s shares. Winning Group’s principal line of business is Wing Nin, a Hong Kong food and beverage brand. Renowned for its cart noodles, a Hong Kong staple, Wing Nin sells customizable bowls featuring a choice of noodle bases, a wide array of toppings, and a rich homemade spicy curry sauce. Wing Nin began as a street vendor in the 1960s and has expanded in recent years. Today, Wing Nin has fourteen locations across Hong Kong.

Planned Sale of Shares of Hapi Metaverse Inc. to HWH International Inc.

On February 5, 2026, the Company entered into agreements with HWH International Inc. (“HWH”), a majority owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company agreed to sell to HWH 505,341,376 issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 of Hapi Metaverse Inc. (“Hapi Metaverse”), representing 99.55% of Hapi Metaverse’s outstanding capital, for a purchase price of $19,910,603.00 in the form of a promissory note convertible into newly issued shares of HWH’s common stock (the “Convertible Note”). Under the terms of the Convertible Note, the Company could convert any outstanding principal and interest into shares of HWH’s common stock at $1.85 per share for five (5) years.

The Company and its subsidiary HWH subsequently agreed to terminate the purchase and sale of the Hapi Metaverse Shares, and the agreements contemplating the same, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in a Termination Agreement dated May 6, 2026. The management of the Company and HWH determined that terminating the sale and purchase of the Hapi Metaverse Shares was in the best interests of both parties.

In the three months ended June 30, 2026, the Company had other expense of $4,027,566 compared to other expense of $6,085,681 in the three months ended June 30, 2025. In the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company had other expense of $6,630,409 compared to other expense of $11,615,507 in the six months ended June 30, 2025. The foreign exchange transaction loss/gain and realized loss on securities investment – related party are the primary reasons for the volatility in these two periods. The foreign exchange transaction gain was $170,687 in the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $4,834,398 loss in the three months ended June 30, 2025.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our real estate assets have decreased to $29,083,594 as of June 30, 2026 from $29,620,952 as of December 31, 2025. This decrease reflects depreciation expenses on the rental properties.

Our total assets have decreased to $124,940,908 as of June 30, 2026 from $136,587,114 as of December 31, 2025 mainly due to decrease in value of investment securities and purchasing equity investment.

On April 17, 2019, SeD Maryland Development LLC entered into a Development Loan Agreement with Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company (“M&T Bank”) in the principal amount not to exceed at any one time outstanding the sum of $8,000,000, with a cumulative loan advance amount of $18,500,000. The line of credit bore interest rate on LIBOR plus 375 basis points. SeD Maryland Development LLC was also provided with a Letter of Credit (“L/C”) Facility in an aggregate amount of up to $900,000. The L/C commission is 1.5% per annum on the face amount of the L/C. Other standard lender fees apply in the event the L/C is drawn down. The loan is a revolving line of credit. The L/C Facility is not a revolving loan, and amounts advanced and repaid may not be re-borrowed. Repayment of the Loan Agreement is secured by a $2,600,000 collateral fund and a Deed of Trust issued to the Lender on the property owned by SeD Maryland. On March 15, 2022, approximately $2,300,000 was released from collateral, leaving approximately $300,000 as collateral for outstanding letters of credit. On December 14, 2023 and February 11, 2026, approximately $201,751 and $107,991, respectively, was released from collateral for outstanding letters of credit. In February 2026, the remaining outstanding letter of credit was fully released, and the related letter-of-credit facility was closed.

The Company is entitled to receive certain developer reimbursements for the Lakes at Black Oak and Alset Villas projects.

The management believes that the available cash in bank accounts and favorable cash revenue from real estate projects are sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next twelve months from the filing of this Form 10-Q.

Impact of Inflation

We believe that inflation has not had a material impact on our results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2026 or the year ended December 31, 2025. We cannot assure you that future inflation will not have an adverse impact on our operating results and financial condition.

Impact of Foreign Exchange Rates

The effect of foreign exchange rate changes on the intercompany loans (under ASC 830), which mostly consist of loans from Singapore to the United States and which were approximately $30 million and $30 million on June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, are the reason for the significant fluctuation of foreign currency transaction Gain or Loss on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Other Comprehensive Loss. Because the intercompany loan balances between Singapore and United States will remain at approximately $30 million over the next year, we expect this fluctuation of foreign exchange rates to still significantly impact the results of operations in 2026, especially given that the foreign exchange rate may and is expected to be volatile. If the amount of intercompany loan is lowered in the future, the effect will be reduced. However, at this moment, we do not expect to repay the intercompany loans in the short term.

Seasonality

The real estate business is subject to seasonal shifts in costs as certain work is more likely to be performed at certain times of the year. This may impact the expenses of our subsidiary Alset EHome Inc. from time to time. In addition, should we commence building homes, we are likely to experience periodic spikes in sales as we commence the sales process at a particular location. At the present time, seasonal shifts are not having a significant impact on our operations.
