NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE SIX AND THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 AND 2023 (UNAUDITED)

Note 1 - Organization and Description of Business

Organization and Business

Nova LifeStyle, Inc. (“Nova LifeStyle” or the “Company”), formerly known as Stevens Resources, Inc., was incorporated in the State of Nevada on September 9, 2009.

The Company is a U.S. holding company with no material assets other than the ownership interests of its subsidiaries through which it markets, designs and sells furniture worldwide: Nova Furniture Limited domiciled in the British Virgin Islands (“Nova Furniture”), Nova Furniture Ltd. domiciled in Samoa (“Nova Samoa”), Diamond Bar Outdoors, Inc. domiciled in California (“Diamond Bar”), i Design Blockchain Technology, Inc. domiciled in California (“i Design”) and Nova Living (M) SDN. BHD. domiciled in Malaysia (“Nova Malaysia”). The Company had three former subsidiaries Bright Swallow International Group Limited domiciled in Hong Kong (“Bright Swallow” or “BSI”) which was sold in January 2020, Nova Furniture Macao Commercial Offshore Limited domiciled in Macao (“Nova Macao”) which was de-registered and liquidated in January 2021 and Nova Living (HK) Group Limited domiciled in Hong Kong (“Nova HK”) which was de-registered and liquidated in February 2023.

Nova Macao was organized under the laws of Macao on May 20, 2006, and was a wholly owned subsidiary of Nova Furniture. Nova Macao was a trading company, importing, marketing and selling products designed and manufactured by third-party manufacturers for the international market. Diamond Bar was incorporated in California on June 15, 2000. Diamond Bar markets and sells products manufactured by third-party manufacturers under the Diamond Sofa brand to distributors and retailers principally in the U.S. market.

On December 7, 2017, Nova LifeStyle incorporated i Design Blockchain Technology, Inc. (“i Design”) under the laws of the State of California. The purpose of i Design is to build the Company’s own blockchain technology team. This company will focus on the application of blockchain technology in the furniture industry, including encouraging and facilitating interactions among designers and customers, and building a blockchain-powered platform that enables designers to showcase their products, including current and future furniture designs. This company is in the planning stage and has had minimal operations through December 31, 2023.

On December 12, 2019, Nova LifeStyle acquired Nova Malaysia at cost of $1.00 which was incorporated in Malaysia on July 26, 2019. The purpose of this acquisition was to market and sell high-end physiotherapeutic jade mats in Malaysia.

On January 7, 2020, the Company transferred its entire interest in Bright Swallow to Y-Tone (Worldwide) Limited, an unrelated third party, for cash consideration of $2,500,000, pursuant to a formal agreement entered into on January 7, 2020. The Company received the payment on May 11, 2020.

On October 14, 2020, the Macao Trade and Investment Promotion Institute invalidated licenses for offshore companies under an Order of Repeal of Legal Regime of the Offshore Services by Macao Special Administrative Region. Nova Macao then entered into a de-registration process and its business was taken over by Nova HK. Nova Macao completed the de-registration and liquidation process in January 2021.

On November 5, 2020, Nova LifeStyle acquired Nova HK at cost of $1,290 which was incorporated in Hong Kong on November 6, 2019. This company had minimal operations other than to take over the business of Nova Macao. On February 15, 2022, the Company transferred its entire assets and business in Nova HK to Nova Malaysia, a subsidiary of the Company. In February 2023, Nova HK was completed the process of de-registration and liquidation.

The “Company” and “Nova” collectively refer to Nova LifeStyle, the U.S. parent, and its subsidiaries, Nova Furniture, Nova Samoa, Diamond Bar, i Design, Nova HK and Nova Malaysia.

Going Concern

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and following GAAP in the U.S. The going concern basis of presentation assumes that the Company will continue in operation one year after the date these financial statements are issued and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company incurred a net loss of $2.03 million and $1.76 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively; and $0.56 million and $0.54 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The accumulated deficit of the Company was $46.46 million and $44.43 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Net cash balance decreased to $0.36 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 from $0.37 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. Continuation as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and pay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due and ultimately upon its ability to achieve profitable operations. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with any certainty at this time and raises substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern.

The Company has faced ongoing losses from operations, and significant cash outflows from cash used in operating activities in past years. The Company lacks assurance regarding its ability to achieve profitability or secure essential financing for its operations. Considering these principal conditions, the Company’s management has determined that it is probable the Company might encounter challenges in meeting its obligations within one year after the issuance of financial statements, primarily due to insufficient cash flow. Therefore, the Company must assess the probability that its plans will effectively alleviate the substantial doubt.

The Company management has the following plans to alleviate the substantial doubt: the Company will participate in four major U.S. furniture fairs every year to seek new customers to increase the Company’s sales. To augment diversified revenue streams, the Company’s subsidiary Nova Malaysia has engaged in the development of an innovative home decoration design IT software systems. Besides, in the second half of this year, the Company plans to raise money from the market to increase cash flow and investment capital in addition to the private placement during the second quarter.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2024 and for the six and three-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 have been prepared without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures, which are normally included in condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and the notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, previously filed with the SEC on April 15, 2024.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include all significant normal and recurring adjustments) necessary to present a fair statement of the Company’s interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2024, its interim unaudited condensed consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the six and three-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, as applicable, have been made. The interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future periods.

Reverse split

On May 22, 2023, the Company filed a Certificate of Change with the Secretary of State of Nevada with an effective date of May 22, 2023, at which time a 1-for-5 reverse stock split of the Company’s authorized shares of common stock, par value $0.001, accompanied by a corresponding decrease in the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”), shall be effected. All references to shares and per share data have been retroactively restated to reflect such split.

Amendments to Articles of Incorporation

On September 5, 2023, the Company filed the Certificate of Change (the “Amendment”) with the Secretary of State for the State of Nevada to amend its Articles of Incorporation to increase the amount of authorized shares of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share, from 3,000,000 to 250,000,000. The Amendment was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) on June 28, 2023 and by the shareholders at a special meeting of the Company’s shareholders held on August 31, 2023. The Amendment does not affect the rights of the Company’s shareholders and was effective immediately upon filing.

Use of Estimates

In preparing unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the dates of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions made by management include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, the allowance for expected credit losses, valuation of inventories, the valuation of stock-based compensation, income taxes and unrecognized tax benefits, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, assumptions used in assessing impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill, and loss contingencies. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Business Combination

For a business combination, the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree are recognized at the acquisition date and measured at their fair values as of that date. In a business combination achieved in stages, the identifiable assets and liabilities, as well as the noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, are recognized at the full amounts of their fair values. In a bargain purchase in which the total acquisition-date fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired exceeds the fair value of the consideration transferred plus any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, that excess in earnings is recognized as a gain attributable to the acquirer.

Deferred tax liability and assets are recognized for the deferred tax consequences of differences between the tax bases and the recognized values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740-10.

Goodwill

Goodwill is the excess of purchase price and related costs over the value assigned to the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets of businesses acquired. In accordance with ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other,” goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment, annually or more frequently when circumstances indicate a possible impairment may exist. Impairment testing is performed at a reporting unit level. An impairment loss generally would be recognized when the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, with the fair value of the reporting unit determined using discounted cash flow (“DCF”) analysis. A number of significant assumptions and estimates are involved in the application of the DCF analysis to forecast operating cash flows, including the discount rate, the internal rate of return and projections of realizations and costs to produce. Management considers historical experience and all available information at the time the fair values of its reporting units are estimated.

ASC Topic 350 also permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not (that is, a likelihood of more than 50 percent) that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. If it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then the single step goodwill impairment test is required to be performed. Otherwise, no further testing is required. Performing the qualitative assessment involved identifying the relevant drivers of fair value, evaluating the significance of all identified relevant events and circumstances, and weighing the factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. After evaluating and weighing all these relevant events and circumstances, it was concluded that a positive assertion can be made from the qualitative assessment that it is more likely than not that the fair value of Diamond Bar is greater than its carrying amount. As such, it is not necessary to perform the single step goodwill impairment test for the Diamond Bar reporting unit. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company concluded there was no impairment of goodwill of Diamond Bar.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets consist primarily of computer software acquired for internal use. Acquired intangible assets are initially recorded at the acquisition-date fair value. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives and are carried at cost less accumulated amortization. The estimated useful life of computer software are generally from 5 years.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers cash, money market funds, investments in interest bearing demand deposit accounts, time deposits and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

The Company’s cash is maintained at financial institutions in the United States of America. Deposits in these financial institutions may, from time to time, exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”)’s federally insured limits. The standard insurance amount is $250,000 per depositor, per insured bank, for each account ownership category. The bank deposits exceeding the standard insurance amount will not be covered. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, cash balances held in the banks, exceeding the standard insurance amount, are $0 and $0, respectively. The Company has not experienced any losses in accounts held in these financial institutions and believes it is not exposed to any risks on its cash held in these financial institutions.

Accounts Receivable

The Company’s accounts receivable arises from product sales. The Company does not adjust its receivables for the effects of a significant financing component at contract inception if it expects to collect the receivables in one year or less from the time of sale. The Company does not expect to collect receivables greater than one year from the time of sale.

The Company’s policy is to maintain an allowance for expected credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves.

Accounts receivable consisted of the following as of the date indicated:

Schedule of Allowance for Credit Losses

	June 30, 2024			December 31, 2023

Accounts receivable	$	44,918		$	47,530
Less: allowance for credit losses		(449	)		(532	)
Total accounts receivable, net	$	44,469		$	46,998

The expected credit losses (reversal) provision for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was ($83) and ($196), respectively; ($924) and $65 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Advances to Suppliers

Advances to suppliers represent amounts paid to suppliers in advance for goods that are yet to be delivered and from which future economic benefits are expected to flow to the Company within the normal operating cycle. Based on its historical record and in normal circumstances, the Company receives goods within 4 to 6 months from the date the advance payment is made. During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, no provision was made on advances to suppliers.

Table of Contents

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value, with cost determined on a weighted-average basis. Write-down of potential obsolete or slow moving inventories is recorded based on management’s assumptions about future demands and market conditions. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company wrote down $44,253 and $108,785 of slow-moving inventory, respectively and $5,271 and $23,113 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The inventory write-down is included in “Cost of Sales” in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.

Plant, Property and Equipment

Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred, while additions, renewals and improvements are capitalized. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation is removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method for substantially all assets with no salvage value and estimated lives as follows:

Computer and office equipment	5 - 10 years
Decoration and renovation	5 - 10 years

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets, which include property, plant and equipment and operating lease right-of-use assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

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 reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset’s carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company conducts its long-lived asset impairment analyses in accordance with ASC 360-10-15, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” ASC 360-10-15 requires the Company to group assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities and evaluate the asset group against the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows. If the undiscounted cash flows do not indicate the carrying amount of the asset is recoverable, an impairment charge is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group asset group exceeds its fair value based on discounted cash flow analysis or appraisals. There was no impairment of long-lived assets for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are related primarily to the Company designing and testing its new products during the development stage. During 2023, the Company has been developing Virtual and Augmented reality software and AI system for potential consulting business. In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company acquired an IT system for AI-Calculation Engine which was integrated into our current IT system (see Note 11). The entire system is far from complete as it requires to integrate with other components in order to be functional. It is still in development stage and not in operation. Research and development costs are recognized in general and administrative expenses and expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses were $0.75 million and $10,144 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively; and ($518) and $10,026 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Income Taxes

In its interim financial statements, the Company follows the guidance in ASC 270 “Interim Reporting” and ASC 740 “Income Taxes” whereby the Company utilizes the expected annual effective rate in determining its income tax provision. The income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 are $4,876 and $2,400, respectively; and $4,876 and $2,400 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, are primarily related to quarter-to-date income generated from domestic and foreign operation.

Income taxes are accounted for using an asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

The Company follows 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. 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 ASC Topic 740, when tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that 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.

Nova Lifestyle, Inc. and Diamond Bar are subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes. Nova Furniture BVI was incorporated in the BVI and Nova Samoa was incorporated in Samoa. There is no income tax for companies domiciled in the BVI and Samoa. Accordingly, the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements do not present any income tax provisions related to the BVI and Samoa tax jurisdictions where Nova Furniture BVI and Nova Samoa are domiciled. Nova Malaysia is incorporated in Malaysia and is subject to Malaysia income taxes at the statutory rate of 24%.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Act”) created new taxes on certain foreign-sourced earnings such as global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) under IRC Section 951A, which is effective for the Company for tax years beginning after January 1, 2018. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 , the Company has calculated its best estimate of the impact of the GILTI in its income tax provision in accordance with its understanding of the Act and guidance available as of the date of this filing.

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Act”) was signed into law making significant changes to the Internal Revenue Code. Changes include, but are not limited to, a corporate tax rate decrease from 35% to 21% effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, the transition of U.S. international taxation from a worldwide tax system to a modified territorial system, and a one-time transition tax on the mandatory deemed repatriation of cumulative foreign earnings as of December 31, 2017.

On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was enacted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act contains numerous income tax provisions, such as relaxing limitations on the deductibility of interest and the use of net operating losses (NOLs) arising in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017.

Beginning in 2022, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 eliminates the option to deduct research and development expenditures immediately in the year incurred and requires taxpayers to amortize such expenditures over five years. While it is possible that Congress may defer, modify, or repeal this provision, potentially with retroactive effect, we have no assurance that this provision will be deferred, modified, or repealed. Furthermore, in anticipation of the new provision taking effect, we have analyzed the provision and worked with our advisors to evaluate its application to our business. Since all research and development expenditures were incurred within the U.S. and the amount is immaterial, we do not anticipate it having any material impact to our provision.

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the accumulated undistributed loss generated by its foreign subsidiaries were approximately $25.2 million and $25.4 million of which substantially all was previously subject to U.S. tax, the one-time transition tax on foreign unremitted earnings required by the Tax Act, or GILTI. Those earnings are considered to be permanently reinvested and accordingly, no deferred tax expense is recorded for U.S. federal and state income tax or applicable withholding taxes.

As of June 30, 2024 and 2023, unrecognized tax benefits were approximately $0. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective tax rate was $0 as of June 30, 2024 and 2023.

A reconciliation of unrecognized tax benefits excluding interest and penalties (“Gross UTB”) for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, is as follows:

Schedule of Unrecognized Tax Benefits

		Gross UTB
		2024		2023

Balance – January 1 and June 30	$	-	$	-

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had cumulatively accrued approximately $0 for estimated interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits. The Company recorded interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax benefit, which totaled $0 and $0 for the six and three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, related to the Company’s continuing operations. The Company does not anticipate any significant changes to its unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months.

Nova Lifestyle and Diamond Bar are subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes and tax years 2020-2023 remain open to examination by tax authorities in the U.S.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenues when its customers obtain control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which it expects to receive in exchange for those goods. The Company recognizes revenues following the five-step model prescribed under ASC-606: (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.

Revenues from product sales are recognized when the customer obtains control of the Company’s product, which occurs at a point in time, typically upon shipment to the customer. The Company expenses incremental costs of obtaining a contract as and when incurred if the expected amortization period of the asset that it would have recognized is one year or less or the amount is immaterial.

Revenues from product sales are recorded net of reserves established for applicable discounts and allowances that are offered within contracts with the Company’s customers.

Product revenue reserves, which are classified as a reduction in product revenues, are generally characterized in the following categories: discounts, returns and rebates. These reserves are based on estimates of the amounts earned or to be claimed on the related sales and are classified as reductions of accounts receivable as the amount is payable to the Company’s customer.

The Company’s sales policy allows for product returns within the warranty period if the product is defective and the defects are the Company’s fault. As alternatives to the product return option, the customers have the option of requesting a discount from the Company for products with quality issues or of receiving replacement parts from the Company at no cost. The amount for product returns, the discount provided to the Company’s customers, and the costs for replacement parts were immaterial for the six and three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

In February 2023, the Company entered into a sales contract to transfer its entire inventory of Jade Mats, with the net realized value of $1.54 million to Shopants Sdn Bhd, an unrelated third party, for cash consideration of $2.00 million. The Company agreed to deliver the Jade Mats on May 20, 2023, May 31, 2023 and June 15, 2023. On June 30, 2023, the Company delivered all the Jade Mats to Shopants Sdn Bhd and recorded as revenue accordingly.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales consists primarily of costs of finished goods purchased from third-party manufacturers and write-downs of inventory.

Shipping and Handling Costs

Shipping and handling costs related to delivery of finished goods are included in selling expenses. During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, shipping and handling costs were $1,515 and ($555), respectively; and $859 and ($194) for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Advertising

Advertising expenses consist primarily of costs of promotion and marketing for the Company’s image and products, and costs of direct advertising, and are included in selling expenses. The Company expenses all advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expense was $255,875 and $619,465 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively; and $30,414 and $207,890 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Share-based Compensation

The Company accounts for share-based compensation awards to officers, directors, employees, and for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, which requires that share-based payment transactions be measured based on the grant-date fair value of the equity instrument issued and recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period. The Company accounts for forfeitures when they occur.

Earnings per Share (EPS)

Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is computed similar to basic net income per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all the potential common shares pertaining to warrants, stock options, and similar instruments had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Diluted earnings per share are based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options and warrants were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method for the outstanding unvested restricted stock, options and warrants, and the if-converted method for the outstanding convertible instruments. Under the treasury stock method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later) and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. Under the if-converted method, outstanding convertible instruments are assumed to be converted into common stock at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later).

The following table presents a reconciliation of basic and diluted loss per share for the six and three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:


	Six Months Ended June 30,						Three Months Ended June 30,

For the six and three months ended June 30, 2024, 1,500 shares of unvested restricted stock, vested stock options to purchase 13,400 shares of the Company’s common stock, and 245,192 shares exercisable under warrants were excluded from the EPS calculation, as their effect were anti-dilutive.

For the six and three months ended June 30, 2023, 300 shares of unvested restricted stock, vested stock options to purchase 26,800 shares of common stock of the Company, and 245,192 shares exercisable under warrants were excluded from the EPS calculation, as their effects were anti-dilutive.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable and other receivables. The Company does not require collateral or other security to support these receivables. The Company conducts periodic reviews of the financial condition and payment practices of its customers to minimize collection risk on accounts receivable.

The following table sets forth information as to the Company’s customers that accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s sales and accounts receivable for the six and three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments,” defines fair value and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The carrying amounts reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheets for receivables and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of their fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:

●	Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
●	Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
●	Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

Table of Contents

The carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, advances to suppliers, other receivables, accounts payable, advance from customers, other payables and accrued liabilities approximate estimated fair values because of their short maturities.

Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in United States Dollar (“$” or “USD”), which is also the functional currency of Nova LifeStyle, Nova Furniture, Nova Samoa, Diamond Bar, and i Design.

The Company’s subsidiary with operations in Malaysia uses its local currency, the Malaysian Ringgit (“RM”), as its functional currency. An entity’s functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates, which is the currency of the environment in which the entity primarily generates and expends cash. Management’s judgment is essential to determine the functional currency by assessing various indicators, such as cash flows, sales price and market, expenses, financing and inter-company transactions and arrangements.

Foreign currency transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are re-measured at the applicable rates of exchange in effect at that date. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency re-measurement are included in the statements of operations.

Segment Reporting

ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” requires use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company’s chief operating decision maker organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions assessing performance and allocating resources. Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company.

Management determined that the Company’s operations constitute a single reportable segment in accordance with ASC 280. The Company operates exclusively in one business and industry segment: the design and sale of furniture.

Management concluded that the Company had one reportable segment under ASC 280 because Diamond Bar is a furniture distributor based in California focusing on customers in the United States and Nova Malaysia is a furniture retailer and distributor focusing on customers primarily in Malaysia. They are all operated under the same senior management of the Company, and management views the operations of Diamond Bar and Nova Malaysia as one entity for making business decisions.

Table of Contents

All of the Company’s long-lived assets are mainly property, plant and equipment located in the United States and Malaysia and are utilized for administrative purposes.

Net sales to customers by geographic area are determined by reference to the physical product shipment delivery locations requested by the customers. For example, if the products are delivered to a customer in the United States, the sales are recorded as generated in the United States; if the customer directs us to ship its products to China, the sales are recorded as sold in China.

Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease or contains a lease at inception. Operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the discount rate for the lease at the commencement date. As the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable for the operating lease, the Company generally uses an incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the commencement date to determine the present value of future lease payments. Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU assets”) assets represent the Company’s right to control the use of an identified asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets are generally recognized based on the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

ROU assets are reviewed for impairment when indicators of impairment are present. ROU assets from operating and finance leases are subject to the impairment guidance in ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, as ROU assets are long-lived nonfinancial assets.

ROU assets are tested for impairment individually or as part of an asset group if the cash flows related to the ROU asset are not independent from the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. An asset group is the unit of accounting for long-lived assets to be held and used, which represents the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets and liabilities.

The Company recognized no impairment of ROU assets as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

The operating lease is included in operating lease right-of-use assets, operating lease liabilities-current and operating lease liabilities-non-current on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Table of Contents

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”). ASU 2017-04 eliminates Step 2 of the two-step goodwill impairment test, under which a goodwill impairment loss was measured by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. ASU 2017-04 requires only a one-step quantitative impairment test, whereby a goodwill impairment loss is measured as the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value (not to exceed the total goodwill allocated to that reporting unit). This Update is effective for smaller reporting companies for their annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, which is required to be applied prospectively from the date of adoption. The Company adopted ASU 2017-04 for its interim and annual goodwill impairment tests beginning January 1, 2023. The adoption of ASU 2017-04 did not have any impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued But Not Yet Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-01, Lease (Topic 842): Common Control Arrangements, which clarifies the accounting for leasehold improvements associated with leases between entities under common control (hereinafter referred to as common control lease). ASU 2023-01 requires entities to amortize leasehold improvements associated with common control lease over the useful life to the common control group (regardless of the lease term) as long as the lessee controls the use of the underlying asset through a lease, and to account for any remaining leasehold improvements as a transfer between entities under common control through an adjustment to equity when the lessee no longer controls the underlying asset. This ASU will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been made available for issuance. An entity may apply ASU 2023-01 either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2023-01 will have on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statement presentations and disclosures.

ln December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No.2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”), which modifies the rules on income tax disclosures to require entities to disclose (1) specific categories in the rate reconciliation,(2) the income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit (separated between domestic and foreign) and (3)income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations (separated by federal, state and foreign). ASU 2023-09 also requires entities to disclose their income tax payments to international, federal, state and local jurisdictions, among other changes. The guidance is effective for annual period beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. ASU 2023-09 should be applied on a prospective basis, but retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this new guidance on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

The Company’s management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, authoritative guidance, if currently adopted, would have a material impact on the Company’s financial statement presentation or disclosures.

Legal Proceedings

The Company previously reported on a federal putative class action complaint George Barney filed against the Company and its former and current CEOs and CFOs (Thanh H. Lam, Ya Ming Wong, Jeffery Chuang and Yuen Ching Ho) in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, claiming the Company violated federal securities laws and pursuing remedies under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 (the “Barney Action”).

That action was resolved by a January 30, 2024 Order of the Court certifying a settlement class and approving a class settlement.

In the Barney action, Company shareholders sought to assert claims on behalf of all entities purchasing stock from December 21, 2015, through December 20, 2018, under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Securities Exchange Commission Rule 10b-5. In support of these claims, plaintiffs alleged that defendants artificially inflated the Company’s share price by issuing a press release announcing a strategic relationship with Shanxi Winqing Senior Care Service Group, claiming in the Company’s Annual Statements on Form 10-Ks for the 2017 and 2018 fiscal years that Shanxi Winqing and Merlino Lewis LLP were among the Company’s largest customers, and reporting revenues from sales transactions with these entities. Plaintiffs claimed that Shanxi Winqing was a fictitious entity and Merlno Lewis LLP dissolved in 2013, so that the announcement of a strategic alliance was false and the reported revenues non-existent.

The Company denied these allegations and all liability. It asserted that the entities referenced in its public disclosures were actual companies and the revenues booked from those entities were genuine and actually collected. The Company alleged that no registration exists for Shanxi Winqing because the Company slightly mistranslated its Chinese name in its public disclosures. Similarly, the Company claimed to have previously sold products to Merlino Lewis LLP and failed to update its customer name when the customer restructured its business.

On March 31, 2023, the parties filed a Renewed Stipulation of Settlement (“Renewed Stipulation”) resolving all claims asserted in the matter. This Renewed Stipulation was executed and filed after the Court denied plaintiffs’ Motion to Certify a Settlement Class and Approve Class Action settlement in accordance with the parties’ original Stipulation of Settlement. The substantive terms of the settlement as they applied to the Company were not modified between the original Settlement Stipulation and the Renewed Settlement Stipulation. The Renewed Stipulation provided for the certification of a settlement class and the Company’s payment to the settlement class of $750,000. It also provided for the complete release of all claims by the settlement class against the Company and its directors, officers, and employees and the other named defendants with respect to any of the matters alleged in the litigation. The Company settled without in any manner admitting, and expressly denying, liability.

Table of Contents

By Order entered July 10, 2023, the Court preliminarily approved a settlement class and the proposed settlement. The settlement escrow was then funded as specified in this Order. The funding was provided through a directors and officers liability insurance policy.

The Court thereafter certified a settlement class and finally approved the settlement by Order entered January 30, 2024. The entry of this Order resolved the matter as to the Company. The settlement payment was funded through insurance.

On March 8, 2019, Jie Yuan (the “Jie Action”) filed a putative shareholder derivative lawsuit purportedly on behalf of the Company against its former and current CEOs and CFOs (Thanh H. Lam, Ya Ming Wong, Jeffery Chuang and Yuen Ching Ho) and directors (Charlie Huy La, Bin Liu, Umesh Patel, and Min Su) and vice president (Steven Qiang Liu) (collectively, the “Defendants”) seeking to recover any losses the Company sustains as a result of alleged securities violations outlined in the Seeking Alpha blog and Barney securities class action complaint. Specifically, the derivative lawsuit alleges that the Defendants caused the Company to make the alleged false and/or misleading statements giving rise to the putative securities class action. The Plaintiff also alleges that President and CEO Lam engaged in self-dealing transactions by leasing her property to Diamond Bar, a Company subsidiary, and asserts, in conclusory fashion, that Lam, former CEO and director Ya Ming Wong, former CFO and director Yuen Ching Ho, and director Umesh Patel sold securities during the period of time when the alleged false and/or misleading statements were made “with knowledge of material non-public information.”

On May 15, 2019, Wilson Samuels (the “Samuels Action”) filed a largely duplicative putative derivative complaint purportedly on behalf of the Company against the same current and former directors and officers named in the Jie Action other than Steven Qiang Liu. That action was filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. Samuels repeats the allegations of the Complaint in the Jie Action. Additionally, Samuels claims that, in announcing its change of auditing firms in September 2016, the Company asserted that this change was made because its existing auditor ceased auditing public companies subject to regulation in the United States without disclosing that its new auditing firm was created in a merger of three accounting firms, including a firm whose registration was revoked by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. Samuels also claims that the Company redeemed its stock in reliance upon the same purported fraudulent recognition of revenues claimed in the putative class action. Samuels purports to state direct claims under Sections 10(b) and 20 of the Exchange Act and SEC Rule 10b-5.

On March 3, 2020, the defendants filed motions to stay the derivative actions until the Barney Action is resolved or alternatively to dismiss on the grounds that plaintiffs’ failure to make demand upon the Board of Directors was not excused and the Complaints otherwise fail to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. By Order entered April 7, 2020, the Court granted defendants’ Motion to Stay and stayed the Jie Action until the Barney Action is resolved. The Court subsequently entered a similar Order in the Samuels Action. It also took a motion that the derivative plaintiffs filed to consolidate the proceedings and appoint lead counsel off calendar.

With the resolution of the Barney action, settlement of the action, the stay of the derivative actions will be lifted.

While these derivative actions are purportedly asserted on behalf of the Company, it is possible that the Company will incur attorneys’ fees and costs in advancing the costs of defense for its current directors and officers pursuant to contractual and legal indemnity obligations. The plaintiffs also seek to require corporate governance changes. The Company believes there is no basis to the derivative complaints and they will be vigorously defended if necessary.

Other than the above, the Company is not currently a party to any legal proceeding, investigation or claim which, in the opinion of the management, is likely to have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition or results of operations.

Through our global network of retailers, e-commerce platforms, stagers and hospitality providers, Nova LifeStyle also sells (through an exclusive third-party manufacturing partner) a managed variety of high quality bedding foundation components.

Table of Contents

Nova LifeStyle’s brand family currently includes Nova LifeStyle, Diamond Sofa (www.diamondsofa.com) and Nova Living.

Our customers principally consist of distributors and retailers with specific geographic territories that deploy middle to high end private label home furnishings which have very little competitive overlap with our specific furnishing products or product lines. Nova LifeStyle is constantly seeking to integrate new sources of distribution and manufacturing that are properly aligned with our growth strategy. This allows us to continually focus on building both our overall distribution and manufacturing relationships through a deployment of popular, as well as trend-based, furnishing solutions worldwide.

We are a U.S. holding company with no material assets in the U.S. other than the ownership interests of our wholly owned subsidiaries through which we market, design and sell residential and commercial furniture worldwide: Nova Furniture Limited domiciled in the British Virgin Islands (“Nova Furniture”), Nova Furniture Ltd. domiciled in Samoa (“Nova Samoa”), Diamond Bar Outdoors, Inc. domiciled in California (“Diamond Bar”), Nova Living (M) SDN. BHD. domiciled in Malaysia (“Nova Malaysia”) and Nova Living (HK) Group Limited domiciled in Hong Kong (“Nova HK”). The Company had three former subsidiaries Bright Swallow International Group Limited domiciled in Hong Kong (“Bright Swallow” or “BSI”) which was sold in January 2020, and Nova Furniture Macao Commercial Offshore Limited domiciled in Macao (“Nova Macao”) which was de-registration and liquidation in January 2021. In February 2022, Nova HK entered a de-registration process and transferred all its assets and business to Nova Malaysia. The process of de-registration and liquidation of Nova HK was completed in February 2023.

On December 7, 2017, we incorporated i Design Blockchain Technology, Inc. (“i Design”) under the laws of the State of California. The purpose of i Design is to build our own blockchain technology team. i Design is in the planning stage and has had minimum operations to date. On December 12, 2019, we became the sole shareholder of Nova Living (M) SDN. BHD. (“Nova Malaysia”), a company incorporated on July 26, 2019 under the laws of Malaysia. Nova Malaysia markets and sells high-end physiotherapeutic jade mats for use in therapy clinics, hospitality, and real estate projects in Malaysia and other regions in Southeast Asia.

On November 5, 2020, Nova LifeStyle, Inc. acquired Nova Living (HK) Group Limited (“Nova HK”) which was incorporated in Hong Kong on November 6, 2019. This company had minimal operations. In February 2022, Nova HK entered a de-registration process and transferred all its assets and business to Nova Malaysia. The process of de-registration and liquidation of Nova HK was completed in February 2023.

Our experience developing and marketing products for international markets has enabled us to develop the scale, logistics, marketing, manufacturing efficiencies and design expertise that serve as the foundation for us to expand aggressively into the highly attractive U.S., Canada, South America, Asia and Middle Easter markets.

In 2019, we developed a line of high-end physiotherapeutic jade mats with China-based manufacturing partners for use in therapy clinics, hospitality, and real estate projects in Asia. We launched our first flagship showroom/retail store in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in late 2019, which, after a COVID-19 related closing, was reopened in May 2020. On August 28, 2020, after few months reopening, Malaysia government extended Movement Control Order to prohibit the businesses to open to public until March 5, 2021 to contain the spread of COVID-19. After the re-opening on March 5, 2021, Malaysia imposed a new nationwide lockdown on May 12, 2021 until early June 2021 which was subsequently extended to early October 2021. In October 2021, the Order was lifted for people who are fully vaccinated and our store has been reopened since. In April 2022, Malaysia has reopened the border for foreign visitors. In June 2023, everything is back to normal in Malaysia. Due to the negative impact caused by COVID-19 from 2020 to 2022, the Company eventually sold the entire jade mats inventory for $2.00 million in liquidation sales in June 2023. We exited from Jade Mats business in 2023. Nova Malaysia has engaged in the development of an innovative home decoration design, showroom and payment IT software systems. We have limited experience with operations in Southeast Asia and considerable management attention and resources may be required to manage these new markets and product lines. We may be subject to additional risks including credit risk, inflation, currency exchange rate fluctuations, foreign exchange controls, import and export requirements, potentially adverse tax consequences and higher costs associated with doing business internationally.

We do not have access to a revolving credit facility. On May 4, 2020, the Company received loan proceeds in the amount of approximately $139,802 under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). The PPP, established as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), provides for loans to qualifying businesses for amounts up to 2.5 times of the average monthly payroll expenses of the qualifying business. On May 5, 2020, Diamond Bar Outdoors Inc. (“Diamond Bar”) was granted a loan from Cathay Bank in the aggregate amount of $176,294, pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program. On June 19, 2020, Diamond Bar was granted a U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) loan in the aggregate amount of $150,000, pursuant to the Economic Injury Disaster Loan. In July 2021, we completed a registered direct offering of our shares of common stock and received offering gross proceeds of $3,120,622. In May 2024 and August 2024, we completed two private placements for gross proceeds of $600,000. We currently believe that our financial resources will be adequate to finance our operations in the next 12 months. However, in the event that we do need to raise capital in the future, the instability in the securities markets could adversely affect our ability to raise additional capital.

The Company intends to fully comply with the exception granted by the Staff and to regain the compliance on or before October 14, 2024.

Principal Factors Affecting Our Financial Performance

Since 2019, we have moved away from low margin products and this move was intended to improve our gross profit margin, receivable collections and net profitability, and to increase our return on long-term equity. We terminated sales and marketing efforts to customers that represented a high purchase volume but low profit margin, and we adjusted our product line, which included the launch of our Summer 2024 Collection in the Las Vegas and High Point Markets, with a view to attracting a higher-end ultimate customer. The core focus of the Company’s direction today is entirely centered on product. Identifying a fashion-driven generational shift in the general perception and consumption of furniture and being more aware of actual consumer tastes and how best to fulfill and engage that need. Closely integrating product development alongside marketing results in appealing products that adheres to the scope of our target demographic of decision makers in the design, staging and retail fields. A process that is continually refined upon each release cycle, maintaining a singular, cohesive vision. In short, we have better identified our customers and how to cater to them – in the process gaining greater traction with every product launch considerably more so on an international level than ever previous. We believe these new strategies, will provide us with significant long term growth opportunities. Significant factors that we believe could affect our operating results are the (i) prices of our products to our domestic and international retailer and wholesaler customers and their markups to end consumers; (ii) general economic conditions in the U.S., Chinese, and other international markets; and (iii) trade tariffs imposed by the United States on certain products manufactured in China; and (iv) the recovery from the COVID-19 outbreak throughout the world; and (v) high interest rate, inflation and slow- down in real estate market. We believe most of our customers are willing to pay for our high quality and stylish products, timely delivery, and strong production capacity at price levels which we expect will allow us to maintain a relatively high gross profit margin for our products. We do not manufacture our products, but instead we utilize third-party manufacturers. In response to the tariffs imposed by the United States on certain products manufactured in China, we are in the process of shifting a portion of our product manufacturing from third-party manufacturers located in China to third-party manufacturers located in other parts of Asia, such as Vietnam, India and/or Malaysia, countries unaffected by the tariffs. Implementation of a relocation of manufacturing (which by necessity includes an assessment of the factory’s ability to deliver the quantity of the product, in accordance with the Company’s specifications, and in accordance with the Company’s quality control requirements) is time-consuming, but a portion of our manufacturing has been transitioned to Malaysia and India starting in 2020 and we expect that more of our manufacturing will be transitioned to one or more of these venues. Some of our manufacturing will continue to be performed in China because the intellectual know-how necessary to manufacture certain products is not generally available in other Asian countries. Consumer preference trends favoring high quality and stylish products and lifestyle-based furniture suites should also allow us at least to maintain our gross profit margins. The markets in North America is challenging because such markets are experiencing a slow-down and may be entering a recession due to high interest rate and inflation.

Critical Accounting Policies

While our significant accounting policies are described more fully in Note 2 to our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, we believe the following accounting policies are the most critical to aid you in fully understanding and evaluating this Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates as compared to the critical accounting policies and estimates described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

Table of Contents

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for Nova LifeStyle and its subsidiaries, Diamond Bar, i Design, Nova Furniture, Nova Samoa, Nova Malaysia and its former subsidiary, Nova HK.

Reverse Split

On May 22, 2023, the Company filed a Certificate of Change with the Secretary of State of Nevada with an effective date of May 22, 2023, at which time a 1-for-5 reverse stock split of the Company’s authorized shares of common stock, par value $0.001, accompanied by a corresponding decrease in the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”), was effected. All references to shares and per share data have been retroactively restated to reflect such split.

Amendments to Articles of Incorporation

Use of Estimates

In preparing condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the dates of the condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions made by management include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, the allowance for bad debt, valuation of inventories, the valuation of stock-based compensation, income taxes and unrecognized tax benefits, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, assumptions used in assessing impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill, and loss contingencies. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Accounts Receivable

Our accounts receivable arises from product sales. We do not adjust receivables for the effects of a significant financing component at contract inception if we expect to collect the receivables in one year or less from the time of sale. We do not expect to collect receivables greater than one year from the time of sale. Our policy is to maintain an allowance for expected credit losses on accounts receivable. We review the composition of accounts receivable and analyze historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves. We maintained an allowance for expected credit loss of $449 and $532 as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, expected credit losses provision (reversal) was ($83) and ($196), respectively; ($924) and $65 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of June 30, 2024, we had gross receivable of $44,918 of which none was over 90 days past due. The allowance for expected credit losses is our best estimate of the amount of expected credit losses in our existing trade accounts receivable. We determine the allowance based on historical bad debt experience, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns.

Advances to Suppliers

Advances to suppliers represent amounts paid to suppliers in advance for goods that are yet to be delivered and from which future economic benefits are expected to flow to the Company within the normal operating cycle. Based on our historical records and in normal circumstances, we generally receive goods within 4 to 6 months from the date the advance payment is made.

Income Taxes

Nova Lifestyle, Inc. and Diamond Bar are subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes. Nova Furniture BVI was incorporated in the BVI and Nova Samoa was incorporated in Samoa. There is no income tax for companies domiciled in the BVI and Samoa. Accordingly, the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not present any income tax provisions related to the BVI and Samoa tax jurisdictions where Nova Furniture BVI and Nova Samoa are domiciled. Nova Malaysia is incorporated in Malaysia and is subject to Malaysia income taxes at the statutory rate of 24%.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Act”) created new taxes on certain foreign-sourced earnings such as global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) under IRC Section 951A, which is effective for the Company for tax years beginning after January 1, 2018. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company has calculated its best estimate of the impact of the GILTI in its income tax provision in accordance with its understanding of the Act and guidance available as of the date of this filing.

Table of Contents

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the accumulated undistributed earnings generated by its foreign subsidiaries were approximately $25.2 million and $25.4 million of which substantially all was previously subject to U.S. tax, the one-time transition tax on foreign unremitted earnings required by the Tax Act, or GILTI. Those earnings are considered to be permanently reinvested and accordingly, no deferred tax expense is recorded for U.S. federal and state income tax or applicable withholding taxes.

A reconciliation of unrecognized tax benefits excluding interest and penalties (“Gross UTB”) for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, is as follows:

		Gross UTB
		2024		2023

Balance – January 1 and June 30	$	-	$	-

At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had cumulatively accrued approximately $0 for estimated interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits. The Company recorded interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax benefit, which totaled $0 and $0 for the six and three ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, related to the Company’s continuing operations. The Company does not anticipate any significant changes to its unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months.

Nova Lifestyle and Diamond Bar are subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes and tax years 2020-2023 remain open to examination by tax authorities in the U.S.

Intangible Assets

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenues when our customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which it expects to receive in exchange for those goods. We recognize revenues following the five step model prescribed under ASU No. 606: (i) identify contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenues when (or as) we satisfy the performance obligation.

Revenue from product sales is recognized when the customer obtains control of our product, which typically occurs upon shipment to the customer. We expense incremental costs of obtaining a contract as and when incurred if the expected amortization period of the asset that it would have recognized is one year or less or the amount is immaterial.

Revenue from product sales is recorded net of reserves established for applicable discounts and allowances that are offered within contracts with our customers.

Table of Contents

Our sales policy allows for the return of product within the warranty period if the product is defective and the defects are our fault. As alternatives for the product return option, the customers have the option of asking us for a discount for products with quality issues, or of receiving replacement parts from us at no cost. The amount of reserves for return of products, the discount provided to the customers, and cost for the replacement parts were immaterial for the six and three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

We generally expense sales commissions when incurred because the amortization period would have been one year or less. These costs are recorded within selling expenses on our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in United States Dollar (“$” or “USD”), which is also the functional currency of Nova LifeStyle, Nova Furniture, Nova Samoa, Diamond Bar, and i Design.

The Company’s subsidiary with operations in Malaysia uses its local currency, Malaysian Ringgit (“RM”), as its functional currency. An entity’s functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates, which is normally the currency of the environment in which the entity primarily generates and expends cash. Management’s judgment is essential to determine the functional currency by assessing various indicators, such as cash flows, sales price and market, expenses, financing and inter-company transactions and arrangements.

Translation of amounts from RM into U.S. dollars has been made at the following exchange rates:

Balance sheet items, except for equity accounts
June 30, 2024			RM4.72 to 1
December 31, 2023			RM4.59 to 1

Income statement and cash flow items
For the six months ended June 30, 2024			RM4.73 to 1
For the six months ended June 30, 2023			RM4.46 to 1

Segment Reporting

ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” requires use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company’s chief operating decision maker organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions, assessing performance and allocating resources. Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company.

Table of Contents

We determined that our operations constitute a single reportable segment in accordance with ASC 280. We operate exclusively in one business and industry segment: the design and sale of furniture.

We concluded that we had one reportable segment under ASC 280 because Diamond Bar is a furniture distributor based in California focusing on customers in the US and Nova Malaysia is a furniture retailer and distributor focusing on customers primarily in Malaysia and Asia. Each of our subsidiaries is operated under the same senior management of our company, and we view the operations of Diamond Bar and Nova Malaysia as a whole for making business decisions. Our long-lived assets are mainly property, plant and equipment located in the United States and Malaysia for administrative purposes.

Net sales to customers by geographic area are determined by reference to the physical product shipment delivery locations requested by our customers. For example, if the products are delivered to a customer in the U.S., the sales are recorded as generated in the U.S.; if the customer directs us to ship its products to China, the sales are recorded as sold in China.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Recently Issued But Not Yet Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-01, Lease (Topic 842): Common Control Arrangements, which clarifies the accounting for leasehold improvements associated with leases between entities under common control (hereinafter referred to as common control lease). ASU 2023-01 requires entities to amortize leasehold improvements associated with common control lease over the useful life to the common control group (regardless of the lease term) as long as the lessee controls the use of the underlying asset through a lease, and to account for any remaining leasehold improvements as a transfer between entities under common control through an adjustment to equity when the lessee no longer controls the underlying asset. This ASU will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been made available for issuance. An entity may apply ASU 2023-01 either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2023-01 will have on our condensed consolidated financial statement presentations and disclosures.

We do not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, authoritative guidance, if currently adopted, would have a material impact on our financial statement presentation or disclosures.

Net Sales

Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2024 were $2.69 million, a decrease of 40% from $4.46 million for the same period of 2023. This decrease in net sales resulted primarily from 69% decrease in sales volume, while partially offset by 96% increase in average selling price. Our three largest selling product categories for the three months ended June 30, 2024 were sofas, beds and coffee tables, which accounted for approximately 50%, 13% and 10% of sales, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2023, the three largest selling categories were jade mats, sofas and beds, which accounted for approximately 45%, 25% and 8% of sales, respectively.

The $1.77 million decrease in net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the same period of 2023, was mainly due to decreased sales to Asia. Sales to Asia decreased by 100% to $0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $1.99 million for the same period of 2023, such decrease mainly due to our liquidation sales of the entire inventory of jade mats by Nova Malaysia for $1.99 million in Malaysia during the three months ended June 30, 2023. However, the decrease in net sales was partially offset by the increase in sales to North America and other countries. Sales to North America increased by $0.20 million to $2.63 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, from $2.44 million for the same period of 2023, primarily due to more sales order received from our customers in North America. Sales to other countries increased by $23,888 to $57,205 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, from $33,317 for the same period of 2023, primary due to more direct container sales in other countries.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales consists primarily of costs of finished goods purchased from third-party manufacturers. Total cost of sales decreased by 50% to $1.49 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $3.02 million for the same period of 2023. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales decreased to 57% for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 65% for the same period of 2023. The decrease in cost of sales in dollar term was mainly due to decreased net sales. The decrease in cost of sales as a percentage of sales is a result of two factors: (a) the decrease in average purchase cost; and (b) the liquidation sales of the jade mats in Malaysia which came with high cost and low profit margin during the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Gross Profit (Loss)

Gross profit was $1.19 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $1.45 million for the same period of 2023, representing a decrease in gross profit of $0.25 million. Our gross profit margin was 44% for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 32% for the same period of 2023. The decrease in gross profit and increase gross profit margin was mainly a result of the liquidation sales of the jade mats in Malaysia which came with a large amount of sales but low profit margin during the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses consisted of selling, general and administrative expenses, and research and development. Operating expenses were $1.69 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $1.83 million for the same period of 2023. Selling expenses decreased by 28%, or $0.16 million, to $0.41 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, from $0.57 million for the same period of 2023, primarily due to decreased marketing and advertising expenses. On the other hand, general and administrative expenses increased by 3%, or $0.04 million, to $1.29 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, from $1.25 million for the same period of 2023, primarily due to an increase in consulting fees of $0.04 million and stock compensation of $0.16 million, while the increase was partially offset by a decrease in insurance of $0.03 million, rent of $0.02 million, travel of $0.05 million and utilities of $0.02 million. In addition, research and development decreased by 105%, or $0.01 million to ($518) for the three months ended June 30, 2024, from $10,026 for the same period of 2023, primarily due to less research and development expenses incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2024.

Other Expenses, Net

Other expenses, net was $60,949 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to other expenses, net of $157,944 for the same period of 2023, representing a decrease in other expenses of $96,995. The decrease in other expenses was due primarily to a decrease in foreign exchange loss by $125,895 to $2,383 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, from foreign exchange loss of $128,278 for the same period of 2023. The decrease in foreign exchange loss was mainly a result of the appreciation of U.S. dollar against Malaysian Ringgit on acquisition of AI-Calculation engine in U.S. dollars.

Income Tax Expenses

Income tax expenses were $4,876 and $2,400 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively due to minimum California state tax incurred in US subsidiaries.

Net Loss

As a result of the foregoing, our net loss was $0.56 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $0.54 million for the same period of 2023.

Also, sales to other countries decreased by $43,349 to $107,868 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, from $151,217 for the same period of 2023, primarily due to less direct container sales in other countries. However, the decrease in net sales in Asia and other countries was partially offset by the increase in sales to North America. Sales to North America increased by $0.76 million to $4.96 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, from $4.19 million for the same period of 2023, primary due to more sales order received from our customers in North America.

In addition, research and development increased by 7300%, or $0.74 million to $0.75 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, from $10,144 for the same period of 2023, primary due to our spending on AI-Calculation engine which is for integrating with our AI and IT system.

Other Expenses, Net

Other expenses, net was $35,314 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to other expenses, net of $196,649 for the same period of 2023, representing a decrease in other expenses of $161,335.

The increase in foreign exchange gain in 2024 from foreign exchange in 2023 loss was mainly a result of the appreciation of U.S. dollar against Malaysian Ringgit on acquisition of AI-Calculation engine in U.S. dollars during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Income Tax Expenses

Income tax expenses were $4,876 and $2,400 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively due to minimum California state tax incurred in US subsidiaries.

Net Loss

As a result of the foregoing, our net loss was $2.03 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $1.76 million for the same period of 2023.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal demands for liquidity are related to our efforts to increase sales and purchase inventory, and for expenditures related to sales distribution and general corporate purposes. We intend to meet our liquidity requirements, including capital expenditures related to purchase of inventories and the expansion of our business, primarily through cash flow provided by operations, collections of accounts receivable, and credit facilities from banks.

We rely primarily on internally generated cash flow and available working capital to support growth. We may seek additional financing in the form of bank loans or other credit facilities or funds raised through offerings of our equity or debt, if and when we determine such offerings are required. As of June 30, 2024, we do not have any credit facilities. We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents and anticipated cash receipts from sales of products will be sufficient to meet our anticipated working capital requirements and capital expenditures for the next 12 months.

We had working capital deficit of $322,470 at June 30, 2024, a decrease of $382,527 from net working capital of $60,057 at December 31, 2023. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 0.92-to-1 at June 30, 2024.

The following is a summary of cash provided by or used in each of the indicated types of activities during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:

	2024			2023
Cash (used in) provided by:
Operating activities	$	(690,415	)	$	1,429,646
Investing activities		-			(2,468,582	)
Financing activities		760,000			-

Net cash used in operating activities was $0.69 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, an increase in cash outflow by $2.12 million from $1.43 million of cash provided by operating activities for the same period of 2023.

Table of Contents

The increase in cash outflow was attributable primarily to (i) a decrease in cash inflow of $2.39 million for inventory to $0.03 million cash inflow for the six months ended June 30, 2024, from $2.42 million cash inflow for the same period of 2023, such decrease in cash inflow being mainly a result of less purchase were made during the six months ended June 30, 2024. (ii) an increase in cash outflow of $1.27 million for other current assets to $0.11 million cash outflow for the six months ended June 30, 2024, from $1.17 million cash inflow for the same period of 2023, such increase in cash outflow being mainly a result of more prepayments to operating expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in operating cash outflow was partially offset by an increase in cash inflow of $0.96 million for accounts receivable to $2,612 cash inflow for the six months ended June 30, 2024, from $0.96 million cash outflow for the same period of 2023, such increase in cash inflow being mainly due to we collected the payments from our customers in timely matter.

Net cash used in investing activities was $0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease in cash outflow of $2.47 million from $2.47 million of cash used in investing activities for the same period of 2023. We incurred cash outflow of $2.47 million from the virtual tour and web augmented reality experience software project during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $0.76 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $0 for the same period of 2023. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we borrowed $0.36 million from a shareholder and sold 200,000 shares of common stock with the proceeds of $0.40 million for our working capital.

As of June 30, 2024, we had gross accounts receivable of $44,918 of which $21,570 was not yet past due and $23,348 was less than 90 days past due. We had an allowance for expected credit losses of $449. As of August 6, 2024, 77.1% of accounts receivable outstanding as of June 30, 2024 had been collected.

100% of our accounts receivable outstanding at December 31, 2023 had been collected during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had advances to suppliers of $50,793 and $93,740, respectively. These supplier prepayments are made for goods before we actually receive them.

For a new product, the normal lead time from new product R&D, prototype, and mass production to delivery of goods from our suppliers to us is approximately six to nine months after we make advance payments to our suppliers. For other products, the typical time is 4-6 months after our advance payment. We will consider the need for a reserve when and if a supplier fails to fulfill our orders within the time frame as stipulated in the purchase contracts.

As of August 6, 2024, $14,914 or 29% and $93,740 or 100% of our advances to suppliers outstanding at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 had been delivered to us in the form of purchases of furniture.

Other Long-Term Liabilities

As of June 30, 2024, we recorded long-term taxes payable of $0.64 million, consisting of an income tax payable of $0.64 million, primarily arising from a one-time transition tax recognized in the fourth quarter of 2017 on our post-1986 foreign unremitted earnings, as ASC 740 specifies that tax positions for which the timing of the ultimate resolution is uncertain should be recognized as long-term liabilities.

We elected to pay the one-time transition tax over the eight years commencing April 2018.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Not required.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We have evaluated, under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) as of June 30, 2024. Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act (a) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (b) is accumulated and communicated to management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives as described above.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during or subsequent to the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The Company has reported a federal putative class action complaint George Barney filed the Company and former and current CEOs and CFOs (Thanh H. Lam, Ya Ming Wong, Jeffery Chuang and Yuen Ching Ho) in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, claiming the Company violated federal securities laws and pursuing remedies under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 (the “Barney Action”). That matter was resolved by the entry of an Order on January 30, 2024 certifying a settlement class and approving a class settlement.

In the Barney action, Company shareholders sought to assert claims on behalf of all entities purchasing stock from December 21, 2015, through December 20, 2018, under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Securities Exchange Commission Rule 10b-5. In support of these claims, plaintiffs alleged that defendants artificially inflated the Company’s share price by issuing a press release announcing a strategic relationship with Shanxi Winqing Senior Care Service Group, claiming in the Company’s Annual Statements on Form 10-Ks for the 2017 and 2018 fiscal years that Shanxi Winqing and Merlino Lewis LLP were among the Company’s largest customers, and reporting revenues from sales transactions with these entities. Plaintiffs claimed that Shanxi Winqing was a fictitious entity and Merlno Lewis LLP dissolved in 2013, so that the announcement of a strategic alliance was false and the reported revenues non-existent.

Table of Contents

On March 8, 2019, Jie Yuan (the “Jie Action”) filed a putative shareholder derivative lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, purportedly on behalf of the Company against its former and current CEOs and CFOs (Thanh H. Lam, Ya Ming Wong, Jeffery Chuang and Yuen Ching Ho) and directors (Charlie Huy La, Bin Liu, Umesh Patel, and Min Su) and vice president (Steven Qiang Liu) (collectively, the “Defendants”) seeking to recover any losses the Company sustains as a result of alleged securities violations outlined in the Seeking Alpha blog and Barney securities class action complaint. Specifically, the derivative lawsuit alleges that the Defendants caused the Company to make the alleged false and/or misleading statements giving rise to the Barney Action. The Plaintiff also alleges that President and CEO Lam engaged in self-dealing transactions by leasing her property to Diamond Bar, a Company subsidiary, and asserts, in conclusory fashion, that Lam, former CEO and director Ya Ming Wong, former CFO and director Yuen Ching Ho, and director Umesh Patel sold securities during the period of time when the alleged false and/or misleading statements were made “with knowledge of material non-public information.”

On May 15, 2019, Wilson Samuels (the “Samuels Action”) filed a largely duplicative putative derivative complaint purportedly on behalf of the Company against the same current and former directors and officers named in the Jie Action other than Steven Qiang Liu. That action was filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. Samuels repeats the allegations of the Complaint in the Jie Action. Additionally, Samuels claims that, in announcing its change of auditing firms in September 2016, the Company asserted that this change was made because its existing auditor ceased auditing public companies subject to regulation in the United States without disclosing that its new auditing firm was created in a merger of three accounting firms, including a firm whose registration was revoked by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. Samuels also claims that the Company redeemed its stock in reliance upon the same purported fraudulent recognition of revenues claimed in the putative class action. Samuels purports to state direct claims under Sections 10(b) and 20 of the Exchange Act and SEC Rule 10b-5.

Table of Contents

With the settlement of the Barney action, it is expected that the stay of the derivative actions will be lifted.

While these derivative actions are purportedly asserted on behalf of the Company, when they are subsequently activated, it is possible that the Company may directly incur attorneys’ fees and costs in advancing the costs of defense for its current directors and officers pursuant to contractual and legal indemnity obligations. Plaintiffs also seek to require corporate governance changes. The Company believes there is no basis to the derivative complaints and they will be vigorously defended if necessary.
