Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2020 (Unaudited)

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations

SeD Intelligent Home Inc. (the “Company”), formerly known as Homeownusa, was incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 10, 2009. On December 29, 2017, the Company acquired SeD Home & REITs Inc. (“SeD Home & REITs”) by reverse merger. SeD Home & REITs, a Delaware corporation, was formed on February 24, 2015 and was named SeD Home USA, Inc. before changing its name to SeD Home Inc. in May of 2015. On February 6, 2020, this name was changed to SeD Home & REITs Inc. SeD Home & REITs is principally engaged in developing, selling, managing, and leasing residential properties in the United States, and may expand from residential properties to other property types, including but not limited to commercial and retail properties. The Company is 99.99% owned by SeD Home International, Inc. (“SeD Home International”), which is wholly owned by Singapore eDevelopment Limited (“SeD Ltd”), a multinational public company listed on the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (“SGXST”).

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include all accounts of the following entities as of the reporting period ending dates and for the reporting periods as follows:

Name of consolidated subsidiary	State or other jurisdiction of incorporation or organization	Date of incorporation or formation	Attributable interest
SeD Home & REITs Inc.	Delaware	February 24, 2015	100%
SeD USA, LLC	Delaware	August 20, 2014	100%
150 Black Oak GP, Inc.	Texas	January 23, 2014	100%
SeD Development USA, Inc.	Delaware	March 13, 2014	100%
150 CCM Black Oak Ltd.	Texas	March 17, 2014	100%
SeD Ballenger, LLC	Delaware	July 7, 2015	100%
SeD Maryland Development, LLC	Delaware	October 16, 2014	83.55%

SedHome Rental, Inc	Texas	December 19, 2018	100%
SeD REIT Inc.	Maryland	August 20, 2019	100%

All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Non–controlling interest represents the minority equity investment in the Company’s subsidiaries, plus the minority investors’ share of the net operating results and other components of equity relating to the non–controlling interest.

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the aggregate non-controlling interest in SeD Home & REITs, Inc. was $2,132,652 and $2,275,061, respectively, which is separately disclosed on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Basis of Presentation

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).

The unaudited financial information furnished herein reflects all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring items, which in the opinion of management are necessary to fairly state the financial position of the Company and the results of its operations for the periods presented. This report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 filed on March 30, 2020. The Company assumes that the users of the interim financial information herein have read or have access to the audited financial statements for the preceding fiscal year and the adequacy of additional disclosure needed for a fair presentation may be determined in that context. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2019 was derived from the audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results for the year ending December 31, 2020.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company's significant estimates are the valuation of real estate. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Earnings (Loss) per Share

Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to the common stockholders by weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Fully diluted loss per share is computed similarly to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. There were no potentially dilutive financial instruments issued or outstanding for the periods ended March 31, 2020 or March 31, 2019.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

For purpose of this disclosure, the fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or liquidation. The carrying amount of the Company’s short-term financial instruments approximates fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the date of acquisition to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Restricted Cash

As a condition to the loan agreement with the Union Bank (formerly known as Xenith Bank, f/k/a The Bank of Hampton Roads), the Company was required to maintain a minimum of $2,600,000 in an interest-bearing account maintained by the lender as additional security for the loan. The funds were required to remain as collateral for the loan until the loan is paid off in full. The loan was fully paid off in January 2019 and the collateral was released on April 19, 2019.

On April 17, 2019, SeD Maryland Development, LLC entered into a Development Loan Agreement with Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company (“M&T Bank”). Based on the agreement, SeD Maryland Development is required to maintain a minimum balance of $2,600,000 as a security collateral fund in the interest-bearing account maintained by the lender. As part of the agreement, NVR deposits funds to M&T Bank directly from lot sales and keeps any overpayment to apply to future borrowings. On March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the total restricted cash held by M&T Bank was $4,787,284 and $4,229,149, respectively.

On July 20, 2018, Black Oak LP received $4,592,079 of district reimbursement for previous construction costs incurred in land development. Of this amount, $1,650,000 will remain on deposit in the District’s Capital Projects Fund for the benefit of Black Oak LP and will be released upon receipt of the evidence of: (a) the execution of a purchase agreement between Black Oak LP and a home builder with respect to the Black Oak development and (b) the completion, finishing and readying for home construction of at least 105 unfinished lots in the Black Oak development. The restricted cash balance on March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was $0 and $90,394, respectively.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable include all receivables from buyers, contractors and all other parties. The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts based on a review of the outstanding receivables, historical collection information and economic conditions. No allowance was necessary at either March 31, 2020 or December 31, 2019.

Property and Equipment and Depreciation

Property and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for major additions and betterments are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method (after taking into account their respective estimated residual values) over the estimated useful lives, which are 3 years.

Real Estate Assets

Real estate assets are recorded at cost, except when real estate assets are acquired that meet the definition of a business combination in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 805, “Business Combinations,” which acquired assets are recorded at fair value. Interest, property taxes, insurance and other incremental costs (including salaries) directly related to a project are capitalized during the construction period of major facilities and land improvements. The capitalization period begins when activities to develop the parcel commence and ends when the asset constructed is completed. The capitalized costs are recorded as part of the asset to which they relate and are reduced when lots are sold.

The Company capitalized interest from related party borrowings of $0 and $60,592 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company capitalized interest from the third-party borrowings of $0 and $154 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

A property is classified as “held for sale” when all of the following criteria for a plan of sale have been met:

(1)

management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the property;

(2)

the property is available for immediate sale in its present condition, subject only to terms that are usual and customary;

(3)

an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell, have been initiated;

(4)

the sale of the property is probable and is expected to be completed within one year or the property is under a contract to be sold;

(5)

the property is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value; and

(6)

actions necessary to complete the plan of sale indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn.

When all of these criteria are met, the property is classified as “held for sale”. “Real estate held for sale” included the El Tesoro project only. The last home in the El Tesoro project was sold in December 2019.

In addition to our annual assessment of potential triggering events in accordance with ASC 360, the Company applies a fair-value based impairment test to the net book value assets on an annual basis and on an interim basis, if certain events or circumstances indicate that an impairment loss may have occurred.

On October 12, 2018, 150 CCM Black Oak, Ltd. entered into an Amended and Restated Purchase and Sale Agreement for 124 lots. Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Purchase and Sale Agreement, the purchase price remained $6,175,000. 150 CCM Black Oak, Ltd. was required to meet certain closing conditions and the timing for the closing was extended. On January 18, 2019, the sale of 124 lots at the Company’s Black Oak project in Magnolia, Texas was completed. After allocating costs of revenue to this sale, we had approximately $2.4 million loss from this sale and recognized approximately $2.4 million as the impairment of real estate in 2018.

On September 30, 2019, the Company recorded approximately $4.7 million of impairment on the Black Oak project based on discounted estimated future cash flows.

On December 31, 2019, the Company recorded approximately $1.2 million of additional impairment on the Black Oak project based on discounted estimated future cash flows.

The Company did not record impairment on any of its projects during three months ended on March 31, 2020.

Revenue Recognition

Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606"), establishes principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity's contracts to provide goods or services to customers. The Company adopted this new standard on January 1, 2018 under the modified retrospective method. The adoption of this new standard did not have a material effect on our financial statements.

In accordance with ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled to receive in exchange for these goods or services. The provisions of ASC 606 include a five-step process by which we determine revenue recognition, depicting the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts reflecting the payment to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASC 606 requires us to apply the following steps: (1) identify the contract with the customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when, or as, we satisfy the performance obligation. A detailed breakdown of the five-step process for the revenue recognition of our Ballenger and Black Oak projects, which were essentially all of the revenue of the Company in 2020 and 2019, is as follows:

●

Identify the contract with a customer.

The Company has signed agreements with the builders for developing the raw land to ready to build lots. The contract has agreed upon prices, timelines, and specifications for what is to be provided.

●

Identify the performance obligations in the contract.

Performance obligations of the Company include delivering developed lots to the customer, which are required to meet certain specifications that are outlined in the contract. The customer inspects all lots prior to accepting title to ensure all specifications are met.

●

Determine the transaction price.

The transaction price is fixed and specified in the contract. Any subsequent change orders or price changes are required to be approved by both parties.

●

Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract.

Each lot or a group of lots is considered to be a separate performance obligation, for which the specified price in the contract is allocated to.

●

Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

The builders do the inspections to make sure all conditions/requirements are met before taking title of lots. The Company recognizes revenue when title is transferred. The Company does not have further performance obligations once title is transferred.

Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities

Based on our contracts, we invoice customers once our performance obligations have been satisfied, at which point payment is unconditional. Accordingly, our contracts do not give rise to contract assets or liabilities under ASC 606. Accounts receivable are recorded when the right to consideration becomes unconditional. We disclose receivables from contracts with customers separately in the statement of financial position.

Cost of Sales

Land acquisition costs are allocated to each lot based on the area method, the size of the lot comparing to the total size of all lots in the project. Development costs and capitalized interest are allocated to lots sold based on the total expected development and interest costs of the completed project and allocating a percentage of those costs based on the selling price of the sold lot compared to the expected sales values of all lots in the project.

If allocation of development costs and capitalized interest based on the projection and relative expected sales value is impracticable, those costs could also be allocated based on area method, the size of the lot comparing to the total size of all lots in the project.

Income Taxes

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of net operating loss and credit carry-forwards, and temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their respective financial reporting amounts measured at the current enacted tax rates. The differences relate primarily to net operating loss carryforward from date of acquisition and to the use of the cash basis of accounting for income tax purposes. The Company records an estimated valuation allowance on its deferred income tax assets if it is more likely than not that these deferred income tax assets will not be realized.

The Company recognizes a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company has not recorded any unrecognized tax benefits.

The Company’s tax returns for 2019, 2018 and 2017 remain open to examination.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. ASU 2109-12 eliminates certain exceptions to the guidance in Topic 740 related to the approach for intra-period tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. The new guidance also simplifies aspects of the accounting for franchise taxes, enacted change in tax laws or rates and clarifies the accounting transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 and interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently in the process of evaluating the effect that ASU 2019-12 will have on the Company's Consolidated Financial Results.

On February 25, 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (the Update). This ASU requires an entity to recognize a right-of-use asset (“ROU”) and lease liability for all leases with terms of more than 12 months. The amendments also require certain quantitative and qualitative disclosures about leasing arrangements. Leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement. The new standard was effective for the Company on January 1, 2019.

Operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As our leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate, we estimate our incremental borrowing rate to discount the lease payments based on information available at lease commencement. The operating lease right-of-use asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. The lease term includes options to extend or terminate when we are reasonably certain the option will be exercised. In general, we are not reasonably certain to exercise such options. We recognize lease expense for minimum lease payments on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We elected the practical expedient to not recognize operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities for lease agreements with terms less than 12 months.

In March 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-05, “Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Amendments to SEC paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 118.” ASU 2018-05 amends the Accounting Standards Codification to incorporate various SEC paragraphs pursuant to the issuance of SAB 118, which addresses the application of generally accepted accounting principles in situations when a registrant does not have necessary information available, prepared, or analyzed (including computation) in reasonable detail to complete the accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was signed into law in March 2020. The CARES Act lifts certain deduction limitations originally imposed by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“2017 Tax Act”). Corporate taxpayers may carryback net operating losses (NOLs) originating between 2018 and 2020 for up to five years, which was not previously allowed under the 2017 Tax Act. The CARES Act also eliminates the 80% of taxable income limitations by allowing corporate entities to fully utilize NOL carryforwards to offset taxable income in 2018, 2019 or 2020. Taxpayers may generally deduct interest up to the sum of 50% of adjusted taxable income plus business interest income (30% limit under the 2017 Tax Act) for 2019 and 2020. The CARES Act allows taxpayers with alternative minimum tax credits to claim a refund in 2020 for the entire amount of the credits instead of recovering the credits through refunds over a period of years, as originally enacted by the 2017 Tax Act.

In addition, the CARES Act raises the corporate charitable deduction limit to 25% of taxable income and makes qualified improvement property generally eligible for 15-year cost-recovery and 100% bonus depreciation. The enactment of the CARES Act did not result in any material adjustments to our income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2020, or to our net deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2020.

2. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

The group maintains cash balances at various financial institutions. These balances are secured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. At times, these balances may exceed the federal insurance limits. At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, uninsured cash and restricted cash balances were $4,538,359 and $4,558,582, respectively.

4. BUILDER DEPOSITS

In November 2015, SeD Maryland Development, LLC (“SeD Maryland”) entered into lot purchase agreements with NVR, Inc.

As part of the agreements, NVR was required to give a deposit in the amount of $5,600,000. Upon the sale of lots to NVR, 9.9% of the purchase price is taken as payback of the deposit. A violation of the agreements by NVR would cause NVR to forfeit the deposit. On January 3, 2019 NVR gave SeD Maryland another deposit in the amount of $100,000 based on the 3rd Amendment to the Lot Purchase Agreement. On March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were $2,160,259 and $2,445,269 outstanding, respectively.

The L/C Facility is not a revolving loan, and amounts advanced and repaid may not be re-borrowed. Repayment of the Loan Agreement is secured by a $2.6 million collateral fund and a Deed of Trust issued to the Lender on the property owned by SeD Maryland.

Paycheck Protection Program Loan

On April 6, 2020, the Company entered into a term note with M&T Bank with a principal amount of $68,502 pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP Term Note”) under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). The PPP Loan is evidenced by a promissory note. The PPP Term Note bears interest at a fixed annual rate of 1.00%, with the first six months of principal and interest deferred. Beginning in November 2020, the Company will make 18 equal monthly payments of principal and interest with the final payment due in April 2022. The PPP Term Note may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an event of default.

The PPP Term Note is unsecured and guaranteed by the United States Small Business Administration. The Company may apply to M&T Bank for forgiveness of the PPP Term Note, with the amount which may be forgiven equal to the sum of payroll costs, covered rent and mortgage obligations, and covered utility payments incurred by the Company during the eight-week period beginning upon receipt of PPP Term Note funds, calculated in accordance with the terms of the CARES Act. At this time, we are not in a position to quantify the portion of the PPP Term Note that will be forgiven.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 and 2019:

	Three- Months Ended
	March 31, 2020	March 31, 2019
Revenue	$2,954,389	$11,318,595
Cost of Sales	$2,500,244	$10,716,151
General and Administrative	$276,507	$225,013
Other Income	$7,542	$16,682
Net Income	$185,180	$394,113

Revenue

Revenue was $2,954,389 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to $11,318,595 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. This decrease in revenue is caused by a decrease in property sales from the Ballenger project in the first three months of 2020 and first sale of a section of Black Oak project in first three months of 2019. Pursuant to a lot purchase agreement dated July 3, 2018, 150 CCM Black Oak Ltd sold 124 lots located in the Company’s Black Oak project to Houston LD, LLC for a total purchase price of $6,175,000. Reduction in sales in Ballenger project is caused by the lack of paved lot inventory, which we are currently working on.

Cost of Sales

Cost of Sales decreased from $10,716,151 in the three months ended March 31, 2019 to $2,500,244 in the three months ended March 31, 2020 due to decreased sales in Ballenger project and lack of sales in Black Oak project.

The gross margin decreased to $454,145 from $602,444 in the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The sales in the first three months of 2019 were attributable to sales from Ballenger project and Black Oak project. The gross margin ratio for Ballenger project in that period was 15% and 0% for Black Oak project after the recognition of impairment charges on Black Oak project in 2018. All the sales in the first three months on 2020 were attributable to sales from Ballenger project and the gross margin was 15%.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased from $225,013 in the three months ended March 31, 2019 to $276,507 in the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Net Income

In the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company had net income of $185,180 compared to net income of $394,113 in the three months ended March 31, 2019. The decrease in net income was caused by the decrease in sales in our Ballenger project.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our real estate assets have decreased to $24,661,855 as of March 31, 2020 from $24,858,569 as of December 31, 2019. This decrease is a result of the sale of lots during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Our liabilities declined from $4,065,484 at December 31, 2019 to $4,031,179 at March 31, 2020. Our total assets have decreased to $30,738,707 as of March 31, 2020 from $30,785,232 as of December 31, 2019 due to the decrease of the real estate assets.

As of March 31, 2020, we had cash of $408,592 compared to $1,083,329 as of December 31, 2019. Our loan from M&T Bank is $0 and the credit limit is $8 million as of March 31, 2020.

Currently the Black Oak project does not have any financing from third parties. The future development timeline of Black Oak is based on multiple conditions, including the amount of funds which may be raised from capital markets, the loans from third party financial institutions, and government reimbursements which may be received. The development will be step by step and expenses will be contingent on the amount of funding we will receive.

Summary of Cash Flows

A summary of cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 are as follows:

	2020	2019

Net Cash Provided By (Used In) Operating Activities	$(8,210)	$6,995,081
Net Cash Used In Investing Activities	$(1,386)	$-
Net Cash Used In Financing Activities	$(197,400)	$(2,912,641)
Net Increase (Decrease) in Cash and Restricted Cash	$(206,996)	$4,082,440
Cash and Restricted Cash at beginning of the year	$5,402,872	$4,645,164
Cash and Restricted Cash at end of the period	$5,195,876	$8,727,604

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Cash flows from operating activities include costs related to assets ultimately planned to be sold, including land development. In the three months ended March 31, 2020, cash used in operating activities was $8,210 compared to cash of $6,995,081 provided by in the three months ended March 31, 2019. The sales of the Ballenger and Black Oak lots in the three months of 2019 are the main reason of increase of the cash provided by the operating activities. In January 2019 we sold 124 lots in phase one of Black Oak project which contributed to increased cash provided by in three months ended March 31, 2019. With the completion of the part of phase one of Black Oak project, development speed was adjusted. No Black Oak lot was sold in the three months ended March 31, 2020. The decrease in sales and increase in development costs from Ballenger project were the main reason for the decrease of the cash used in the operating activities in the three months ended March 31, 2020. The Ballenger project's development spending also went down in the three months of 2020 compared with the same period in 2019 because of the different development stages.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Cash flows used in investing activities in three months ended March 31, 2020 include purchases of office computer equipment.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

In the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company distributed $197,400 in cash to the minority shareholder. In the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company repaid $13,899 to the Union Bank loan and repaid approximately $2.9 million of related party borrowings.

Seasonality

The real estate business is subject to seasonal shifts in costs as certain work is more likely to be performed at certain times of year. This may impact the expenses of SeD Home & REITs from time to time. In addition, should we commence building homes, we are likely to experience periodic spikes in sales as we commence the sales process at a particular location.

Impact of Recent Public Health Events

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus was first identified in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, and has since spread to a number of other countries, including the United States. The coronavirus, or other adverse public health developments, could have a material and adverse effect on our business operations. The coronavirus’ far-reaching impact on the global economy could negatively affect various aspects of our business, including demand for real estate. In particular, the present economic downturn may adversely impact our lot sale revenues as a result of a decline in builder sales. In addition, the coronavirus could directly impact the ability of our staff and contractors to continue to work, and our ability to conduct our operations in a prompt and efficient manner. The coronavirus may adversely impact the timeliness of local government in granting required approvals. Accordingly, the coronavirus may cause the completion of important stages in our projects to be delayed. The extent to which the coronavirus may impact our business will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.

In the quarterly period ended March 31, 2020, the coronavirus had minimal impact on our operations, mostly concentrated at the end of the fiscal quarter. As a residential real estate developer, we have not stopped our construction projects and our sales have not changed from our previous projections. The coronavirus could have a material impact on our business, operations and sales in the future. However, at this time we are unable to predict the impact that the coronavirus and the related economic decline that occurred in the United States in March of 2020 will have on long-term real estate markets. As of the date of this report, we do not recognize any significant negative impact of the current economic situation on our operations.
