NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2013 AND 2012 (UNAUDITED)

Note 1 - Organization and Description of 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.

Effective as of June 27, 2011, the company changed its name from Stevens Resources, Inc. to Nova LifeStyle, Inc. Concurrently with this action, Nova LifeStyle authorized a 5-for-1 forward split of its common stock effective June 27, 2011. Prior to the forward split, Nova LifeStyle had 2,596,000 shares of its common stock outstanding, and, after giving effect to the forward split, it had 12,980,000 shares of its common stock outstanding. The effect of the stock split has been retroactively restated in the periods presented.

On June 30, 2011, Nova LifeStyle entered into and consummated a series of agreements that resulted in the acquisition of all of the ordinary shares of Nova Furniture Limited (“Nova Furniture”), a corporation primarily engaged in investment in China and organized on April 29, 2003, under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (“BVI”). Pursuant to the terms of a Share Exchange Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated June 30, 2011 (the “Share Exchange Agreement”), Nova LifeStyle issued 11,920,000 shares of its common stock to the four designee shareholders of Nova Furniture in exchange for their 10,000 ordinary shares of Nova Furniture, consisting of all of its issued and outstanding capital stock. Concurrently with the Share Exchange Agreement and as a condition thereof, Nova LifeStyle entered into an agreement with its former president and director, pursuant to which he returned 10,000,000 shares of Nova LifeStyle’s common stock to Nova LifeStyle for cancelation in exchange for an unsecured 90-day promissory note of $80,000 bearing interest at 0.46% per annum. The $80,000 was paid in full on August 30, 2011. Upon completion of the foregoing transactions, Nova LifeStyle had 14,900,000 shares of its common stock issued and outstanding.

For accounting purposes, the transaction described above was treated as a recapitalization of Nova Furniture because Nova Furniture’s shareholders own the majority of Nova LifeStyle’s outstanding common stock following the transaction and exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the consolidated entity, and Nova LifeStyle was a non-operating shell prior to the acquisition. Pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules, the merger or acquisition of a private operating company into a non-operating public shell with nominal net assets is considered a capital transaction in substance, rather than a business combination. As a result, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been retroactively restated to reflect the recapitalization.

Nova Furniture formed Nova Furniture (Dongguan) Co., Ltd. (“Nova Dongguan”) on June 6, 2003, as a wholly foreign owned enterprise incorporated in the Guangdong Province of the People’s Republic of China (“China” or the “PRC”) and primarily engaged in the development, manufacture and sale of furniture.

The controlling shareholders of Nova Furniture formed Nova Furniture Holdings Limited (“Nova Holdings”) effective March 8, 2005, under the laws of the BVI and transferred all of their equity interests in Nova Furniture to Nova Holdings. This transaction was accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common control, with assets and liabilities transferred at their carrying amounts, and the financial statements are presented as if the reorganization had occurred retroactively.

On May 20, 2006, Nova Holdings formed Nova Furniture Macao Commercial Offshore Ltd. (“Nova Macao”) under the laws of Macao. Nova Macao is engaged in furniture trading with products purchased and imported mainly from Nova Dongguan.

On January 3, 2011, Nova Furniture issued an additional 11,917,616 shares (post-recapitalization shares) of its capital stock, of which 2,235,000 shares were issued to Nova Holdings and 9,682,616 shares were issued to St. Joyal, an unrelated U.S. company incorporated in the State of California and engaged in business development and investment activities. Following this issuance, Nova Holdings held 81.25% and St. Joyal held 18.75% of the equity interests in Nova Furniture. Pursuant to a shareholder agreement, St. Joyal is committed to pay $2.4 million by January 1, 2014, in exchange for its 18.75% equity interest in Nova Furniture. As of March 31, 2013, St. Joyal has paid $0.45 million to the Company and $1.95 million remains outstanding.

On January 14, 2011, Nova Holdings transferred its equity interest in Nova Macao to Nova Furniture. This transaction was accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common control, with assets and liabilities transferred at their carrying amounts, and the financial statements are presented as if the reorganization had occurred retroactively as of the beginning of the first period presented.

6

On March 17, 2011, Nova Dongguan incorporated Nova Dongguan Chinese Style Furniture Museum (“Nova Museum”) under the laws of the PRC and contributed capital of RMB 1 million ($152,177). Nova Dongguan made an additional capital contribution of RMB 1.13 million ($172,351) on March 29, 2011. Nova Museum is a non-profit organization engaged principally in the promotion and dissemination of the culture and history of furniture in China.

On August 31, 2011, Nova LifeStyle acquired all the outstanding capital stock of Diamond Bar Outdoors, Inc. (“Diamond Bar”), a U.S. company incorporated in the State of California, for $0.45 million paid in full at closing. Diamond Bar, doing business as Diamond Sofa, is engaged in the import, marketing and sale of furniture in the U.S. market. Prior to its acquisition by Nova LifeStyle, Diamond Bar was one of the Company’s customers, and upon completion of the foregoing transaction, Diamond Bar became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

Concurrently with the acquisition of Diamond Bar, the Company entered into a trademark purchase and assignment agreement dated August 31, 2011, with St. Joyal for the assignment of all rights, title and interest in certain registered U.S. trademarks for $0.2 million paid in full at the closing. The trademarks are used in the business of Diamond Bar, which previously had licensed the right to use the trademarks from St. Joyal.

The “Company” and “Nova” collectively refer to Nova LifeStyle, the U.S. parent, and its subsidiaries, Nova Furniture, Nova Dongguan, Nova Macao, Nova Museum and Diamond Bar.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The 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 condensed consolidated financial information as of March 31, 2013 and for the three month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 have been prepared without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures, which are normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have not been included. The interim 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, 2012, previously filed with the SEC on April 1, 2013.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present a fair statement of the Company’s interim condensed consolidated financial position as of March 31, 2013 its interim condensed consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, 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.

Use of Estimates

In preparing 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 at the dates of the consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates, required by management, include the allowance for bad debt, valuation of inventories and recoverability of long-lived assets and goodwill. 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, 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 asset 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.

7

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 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 first step of the two-step goodwill impairment test is required to be performed. 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 first step of the two-step goodwill impairment test for Diamond Bar reporting unit.  Accordingly, as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company concluded there was no impairment of goodwill.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable

The Company’s policy is to maintain an allowance for potential 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. Based on historical collection activity, the Company recorded $223,983 and $226,137 as allowance for bad debts as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value with cost determined on a weighted-average basis, which approximates the first-in first-out method. Management compares the cost of inventories with the net realizable value and an allowance is made for writing down their inventories to market value, if lower. The Company did not record any provision for write-downs of inventory at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Plant, Property and Equipment and Construction in Progress

Plant, property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred; 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 10% salvage value and estimated lives as follows:

Building and workshops	20 years
Computer and office equipment	5 years
Museum decoration and renovation	10 years
Machinery	10 years
Autos	5 years

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment attributable to manufacturing activities is capitalized as part of inventories, and expensed to cost of goods sold when inventories are sold.

8

Construction in progress represents capital expenditure in respect of direct costs of construction or acquisition and design fees incurred. Capitalization of these costs ceases and the construction in progress is transferred to the appropriate category of property, plant and equipment when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the assets for their intended use are completed. Construction in progress is not depreciated.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

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

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. Based on its review, the Company believes that, as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, there were no significant impairments of its long-lived assets except that the Company disposed of an obsolete and unused workshop and recognized a loss of $123,775 during the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are related primarily to the Company designing and testing its new products in development stage. Research and development costs are recognized in general and administrative expenses and expensed as incurred. Research and development expense was $86,752 and $56,908 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, 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 actual effective tax rate of 13% for the period ended March 31, 2013 differs from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate primarily as a result of a tax benefit from the tax-exemption status of Nova Macau offset by tax liability reserves from uncertain tax positions.  

Nova Lifestyle, Inc. and Diamond Bar Outdoors, Inc. are subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes. Nova Furniture BVI was incorporated in the BVI. There is no income tax for a company domiciled in the BVI. Accordingly, the Company’s consolidated financial statements do not present any income tax provision related to the BVI tax jurisdiction where Nova Furniture BVI is domiciled.

Nova Dongguan and Nova Museum are governed by the Enterprise Income Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”), which is subject to a 25% corporate income tax. Nova Museum is subject to a 25% corporate income tax in the first year and allowed to apply for tax-exempt status in the second year following its incorporation.  Nova Macao is an income tax-exempt entity incorporated and domiciled in Macao.

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company recorded income tax expense of approximately $176,000. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company recorded income tax expense of approximately $167,000.  The increase in income tax expense is primarily due to the increase in profits of Diamond Bar.

As of March 31, 2013, unrecognized tax benefits were approximately $4.0 million.  The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective tax rate was $4.0 million as of March 31, 2013. As of December 31, 2012, unrecognized tax benefits were approximately $4.0 million.  The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective tax rate was $4.0 million as of March 31, 2012.

A reconciliation of the January 1, 2013, through March 31, 2013, amount of unrecognized tax benefits excluding interest and penalties ("Gross UTB") is as follows:

	Gross UTB
Beginning Balance – January 1, 2013	$	4,010,657
Increase in unrecorded tax benefits taken in 2013		13,949
Exchange rate adjustment – 2013		10,641
Ending Balance – March 31, 2013	$	4,035,247

At March 31, 2013, and December 31, 2012, the Company had cumulatively accrued approximately $682,000 and $601,000, respectively, 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 expense, which totaled approximately $81,000 and $67,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, and 2012, respectively. The Company does not anticipate any significant changes to its unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months.

As of March 31, 2013, aggregate undistributed earnings of approximately $15.2 million of the Company’s PRC and Macao subsidiaries that are available for distribution to the Company are considered to be indefinitely reinvested, and, accordingly, no provision has been recorded relating to the accumulated earnings from its PRC and Macao operation.

Nova Dongguan is subject to taxation in the PRC. Nova Dongguan’s PRC income tax returns are generally not subject to examination by the tax authorities for tax years before 2008. With a few exceptions, the tax years 2008-2012 remain open to examination by tax authorities in the PRC; the tax years 2011-2012 for US entities remain open to examination by tax authorities in the US.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenue recognition policies are in compliance with ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition.” Sales revenue is recognized when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed and no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectability is reasonably assured. No revenue is recognized if there are significant uncertainties regarding the recovery of the consideration due, or the possible return of the goods. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are recorded as unearned revenue.

Sales revenue represents the invoiced value of goods, net of value-added taxes (“VAT”). All of the Company’s products sold in China are subject to the PRC VAT of 17% of the gross sales price. This VAT may be offset by VAT paid by the Company on raw materials and other materials purchased in China and included in the cost of producing the finished product. The Company records VAT payable and VAT receivable net of payments in the consolidated financial statements. The VAT tax return is filed offsetting the payables against the receivables. Sales and purchases are recorded net of VAT collected and paid as the Company acts as an agent for the government.

Franchise Arrangements

In 2010, the Company began entering into area product franchise agreements with franchisees who operate specialty furniture stores carrying only Nova-branded products. The product franchise agreement provides for the franchisee to retail Nova-brand furniture products for a period of one year from the date of the agreement. The franchisee is required to pay a deposit of RMB 30,000 at the signing of the agreement, which is used as payment for future purchases and is deferred on the Company’s balance sheet as a customer deposit. The franchisee is required to guarantee a minimum purchase amount from the Company during the contract period. The Company has the right to terminate the agreement should the franchisee fail to meet the minimum purchase amounts. The Company provides the franchisee with store images and designs, signage, floor plan product information and training. In addition, the Company will rebate a per square meter subsidy to the franchisee for the store build-out within six months from the agreement date. The franchisee earns 30% of the rebate on its initial purchase from the Company and then at a rate of 5% of each subsequent purchase until fully refunded of its deposit or six months from the agreement date, whichever is earlier. At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had franchising subsidy payable of $179,716 and $179,786, respectively. In accordance with ASC 605-50, as the Company does not receive an identifiable benefit from these rebates, the rebates are recorded as a reduction of revenue on sales to the franchisees.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales consists primarily of material costs, labor costs and related overhead that are directly attributable to the production of the products. Write-down of inventory to the lower of cost or net realizable value is also recorded in the cost of sales.

Shipping and Handling Costs

Shipping and handling costs related to delivery of finished goods are included in selling expenses. During the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, shipping and handling costs were $103,567 and $144,796, respectively.

Advertising

Advertising expenses consist primarily of costs of promotion and marketing for the Company’s image and products, and costs of direct advertising. The Company expenses all advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expense was $97,363 and $56,908 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

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, warrants and stock options 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 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 earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2013		2012
	(Unaudited)		(Unaudited)
Net income	$	1,178,467	$	978,662
Weighted average shares outstanding – basic		18,536,699		18,377,031
Effect of dilutive securities:
Unexercised warrants		101,584		314,219
Weighted average shares outstanding – diluted		18,638,283		18,691,250
Earnings (loss) per share – basic	$	0.06	$	0.05
Earnings (loss) per share – diluted	$	0.06	$	0.05

At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had no options to purchase shares of common stock outstanding and warrants to purchase 980,306 and 983,280 shares of common stock were outstanding and exercisable, respectively.  For the three months ended March 31, 2013, 155,100 shares purchasable under the warrants were excluded from EPS as their effects were anti-dilutive, respectively.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist primarily of accounts 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.

Two major customers accounted for 30% (20% and 10% for each) and 37% (22% and 15% for each) of the Company’s sales for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Accounts receivable from these customers amounted to $5,166,576 and $4,927,157 as of March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The Company purchased its products from five major vendors accounting for 70% (17%, 14%, 15%, 12%, and 12% for each) during the three months ended March 31, 2013, and from one major vendor accounting for 10% of the purchases during the three months ended March 31, 2012, respectively. Accounts payable to these vendors were $1,368,065 and $2,242,851 as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

The operations of the Company are located principally in China and the US. Accordingly, the Company’s Chinese subsidiaries' business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environments in China, as well as by the general state of the PRC economy.

The Company’s operations in the PRC are subject to specific considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environments in China and foreign currency exchange. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in PRC government policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.

11

The Company’s sales, purchase and expense transactions in China and Macao are denominated in Chinese Yuan Renminbi (“RMB”) and Macau Pataca (“MOP”) (prior to 2011), respectively, and all of the assets and liabilities of the Company’s subsidiaries in China and Macao are also denominated in RMB and MOP (prior to 2011), respectively. The RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currencies under the current law. In China, foreign exchange transactions are required by law to be transacted only by authorized financial institutions. Remittances in currencies other than RMB may require certain supporting documentation in order to affect the remittance.

Statement of Cash Flows

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 230, “Statement of Cash Flows,” cash flows from the Company’s operations is calculated based upon local currencies. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows may not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Some of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and short-term debt, have carrying amounts that approximate their fair values due to their short maturities. 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 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.

The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under ASC Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,” and ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.”

Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions

The consolidated financial statements are presented in USD. The functional currency of Nova LifeStyle, Nova Furniture, Nova Macao and Diamond Bar is the United States Dollar (“$” or “USD”). The functional currency of Nova Dongguan and Nova Museum is RMB. The functional currencies of the Company’s foreign operations are translated into USD for balance sheet accounts using the current exchange rates in effect as of the balance sheet date and for revenue and expense accounts using the weighted-average exchange rate during the fiscal year. The translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of stockholders’ equity, captioned “Accumulated other comprehensive income.” Gains and losses resulting from transactions denominated in foreign currencies are included in “Other income (expenses)” in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. There have been no significant fluctuations in the exchange rate for the conversion of RMB to USD after the balance sheet date.

The RMB to USD exchange rates in effect as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, were RMB6.2689 = USD$1.00 and RMB6.2855 = USD$1.00, respectively. The weighted-average RMB to USD exchange rates in effect for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, were RMB6.2785 = USD$1.00 and RMB6.3074 = USD$1.00, respectively. The exchange rates used in translation from RMB to USD were published by the People’s Bank of the People’s Republic of China.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

The Company follows FASB ASC 220 “Reporting Comprehensive Income.” Comprehensive income is comprised of net income and all changes to the consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity, except those due to investments by stockholders, changes in paid-in capital and distributions to stockholders. Comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 included net income and foreign currency translation adjustments.

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 management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. 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, manufacture and sale of furniture. All of the Company’s long-lived assets for production are located at its facilities in Dongguan, Guangdong Province, China, and operate within the same environmental, safety and quality regulations governing furniture manufacturers. The Company established Nova Macao, and acquired Diamond Bar for the purpose of marketing and selling the Company’s products. As a result, management views the business and operations of Nova Dongguan, Nova Macao and Diamond Bar as a blended gross margin when determining future growth, return on investment and cash flows. Nova Museum, a non-profit organization engaged principally in the promotion and dissemination of the culture and history of furniture in China, has no operations or substantial assets other than its decorations and renovation, and its heritage and cultural assets are for the purpose of exhibition only.

Accordingly, management concluded that the Company had one reportable segment under ASC 280 because: (i) the Company’s products sold through Nova Dongguan, Nova Macao and Diamond Bar are created with similar production processes, in the same facilities, under the same regulatory environment and sold to similar customers using similar distribution systems; (ii) Diamond Bar is a U.S. furniture distributor based in California but operates under the same senior management of Nova Dongguan and Nova Macao, and managementviews the operations of Nova Dongguan, Nova Macao and Diamond Bar as a whole for making business decisions; and (iii) although Nova Museum is principally engaged in the dissemination of the culture and history of furniture in China, it also serves a function of promoting and marketing the Company’s image and products by providing a platform and channel for consumers to be exposed to the Company and its products, it is operated under the same management with the same resources and in the same location as Nova Dongguan, and it is an additive and supplemental unit to the Company’s main operations, the manufacture and sale of furniture.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-2, Comprehensive Income (ASC Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, the new ASU requires entities to disclose in a single location (either on the face of the financial statement that reports net income or in the notes) the effects of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI). For items reclassified out of AOCI and into net income in their entirety, entities must disclose the effect of the reclassification on each affected net income item. For AOCI reclassification items that are not reclassified in their entirety into net income, entities must provide a cross-reference to other required U.S. GAAP disclosures. There is no change in the requirement to present the components of net income and other comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement or two separate consecutive statements. The ASU does not change the items currently reported in other comprehensive income.

For public entities, the new disclosure requirements are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012, and interim periods within those years (i.e., the first quarter of 2013 for entities with calendar year-ends). The ASU applies prospectively, and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

As of March 31, 2013, there is no recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted that would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

However, the government grants the user a right to use the land (“land use right”). The Company acquired the right to use land in Dongguan, Guangdong Province, China, in 2004 for 50 years and is amortizing such rights on a straight-line basis for 50 years.

Note 16 - Statutory Reserves

As a U.S. holding company, the Company’s ability to pay dividends is primarily dependent on the Company receiving distributions of funds from its subsidiaries. Relevant PRC statutory laws and regulations permit payments of dividends by the Company’s PRC subsidiaries, Nova Dongguan and Nova Macao, only out of the subsidiary’s retained earnings, if any, as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. The results of operations reflected in the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP differ from those reflected in the statutory financial statements of the Company’s PRC subsidiaries. Pursuant to the corporate laws of the PRC and Macao, including the PRC Regulations on Enterprises with Foreign Investment, Nova Dongguan and Nova Macao are only required to maintain one statutory reserve by appropriating from after-tax profit before declaration or payment of dividends. The statutory reserve represents restricted retained earnings. As a result of the PRC laws and regulations described below that require such annual appropriations of 10% of after-tax income to be set aside prior to payment of dividends as a general statutory reserve fund, the Company’s PRC subsidiaries are restricted in their ability to transfer a portion of their net assets to the Company as a dividend.

Surplus Reserve Fund

Nova Dongguan and Nova Macao are required to transfer 10% of net income, as determined under PRC accounting rules and regulations, to a statutory surplus reserve fund until such reserve balance reaches 50% of the subsidiary’s registered capital. The surplus reserve fund is non-distributable other than during liquidation and can be used to fund previous years’ losses, if any, and may be utilized for business expansion or converted into share capital by issuing new shares to existing shareholders in proportion to their shareholdings or by increasing the par value of the shares currently held by them, provided that the remaining reserve balance after such issuance is not less than 25% of the registered capital.

17

At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, Nova Macao had surplus reserves of $6,241, representing 50% of its registered capital. Nova Dongguan did not make any transfer to surplus reserves due to its accumulated deficit.

Common Welfare Fund

The common welfare fund is a voluntary fund to which Nova Dongguan and Nova Macao can each elect to transfer 5% to 10% of its net income. This fund can only be utilized on capital items for the collective benefit of the subsidiary’s employees, such as construction of dormitories, cafeteria facilities, and other staff welfare facilities. This fund is non-distributable other than upon liquidation. Nova Dongguan and Nova Macao do not participate in this voluntary fund.

Note 17 - Geographical Sales

Bright Swallow is a BVI company engaged in export of sofas to overseas customers. The Stock Purchase Agreement contained such representations, warranties, obligations and conditions as are customary for transactions of the type governed by such agreements.

As a result of the acquisition, Bright Swallow became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Prior to the closing of the transaction, there were no material relationships between the Company and Bright Swallow, or any of their respective affiliates, directors or officers, or any associates of their respective officers or directors, other than in respect of the Stock Acquisition Agreement.The purchase of Bright Swallow will be accounted for as a business combination under ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations”.   The purpose of the acquisition is to expedite the Company’s market share expansion.  The Company started to manage and fund Bright Swallow’s operations and pay its debts (if any) from the closing date of the acquisition April 24, 2013.  Bright Swallow is in the process of legal title transfer with the local authority, and expects to complete the legal title transfer within a few weeks.

The following table summarizes the preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of March 31, 2013 (the latest balance sheet date of Bright Swallow’s financial statements is available for). The preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at acquisition closing date were used for the purpose of purchase price allocation. The excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired over the purchase price, or $500,000, will be recorded as bargain purchase gain if the final valuations approximate these estimates.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

Nova LifeStyle Inc. is a broad based manufacturer of contemporary styled residential furniture incorporated into a dynamic marketing and sales platform offering retail as well as online selection and purchase fulfillment globally.  We monitor popular trending and work to create design elements that are then integrated into our product lines that can be used as both stand alone as well as whole room and home furnishing solutions.  Through our global network, Nova LifeStyle also sells (through an exclusive third party manufacturing partner) a managed variety of high quality bedding foundation components.

Nova's LifeStyle brand family currently includes Diamond Sofa (www.diamondsofa.com), Colorful World, Giorgio Mobili, and, as of April, 2013, includes Bright Swallow International Group Limited beginning.

Our customers principally consist of distributors and retailers having a specific geographic coverage that deploy middle to high end private label home furnishings having very little competitive overlap within our specific furnishing product or product lines.  Nova LifeStyle is constantly seeking to integrate new sources of distribution and manufacturer that are properly aligned with our growth strategy thus allowing us to continually focus on building both same store sales growth as well as drive the expansion of our overall distribution and manufacturing relationships through a deployment of popular as well as trend based furnishing solutions worldwide.

Our acquisition of Bright Swallow International Group Limited (Bright Swallow), an established furniture company with a global client base was finalized in late April of 2013 as that purchase becomes an integral part of the Nova LifeStyle brand family. Bright Swallow posted revenues of just over $14 million for FY 2012 and its complementary product line and geographical reach will offer Nova LifeStyle an ideal opportunity to expand its overall global market presence.  One of Bright Swallow’s current clients, Canadian based The Brick Limited (www.TheBrick.com) has over 200 locations and provides an excellent example of this exceptional integration opportunity. This new brand also provides Nova LifeStyle with an excellent opportunity to market to existing Bright Swallow partners and increase its sales accordingly.  A British Virgin Island company with its principal offices in Jiaxing City, Zhejiang Province, Bright Swallow has grown steadily over the years and has an excellent management team in place that will become a part of the Nova LifeStyle team. Nova LifeStyle Inc. has assumed primary management for the operation of Bright Swallow and under the terms all issued and outstanding shares of Bright Swallow have been transferred to Nova by Bright Swallow's sole owner Mr. Zhu Wei. The purchase price was $6.5 million in cash; Nova originally paid $4.5 million as a refundable deposit with the remainder of the purchase price paid upon completion of the transfer of ownership in April 2013.

Our experience developing and marketing products for international markets has enabled us to develop the scale, logistics, marketing, manufacturing efficiencies and design expertise that serves as the foundation for us to expand aggressively into the highly attractive U.S. and China markets.

We are a U.S. holding company with no material assets other than the ownership interests of our wholly owned subsidiaries through which we market, design, manufacture and sell residential furniture worldwide: Nova Dongguan, Nova Macao, Nova Museum and Diamond Bar. Nova Dongguan is a wholly foreign owned enterprise (“WFOE”) and was incorporated under the laws of the PRC on June 6, 2003. Nova Macao was organized under the laws of Macao on May 20, 2006. Nova Dongguan organized Nova Museum on March 17, 2011, as a non-profit organization under the laws of the PRC engaged in the promotion of the culture and history of furniture in China. Nova Dongguan and Nova Macao are wholly owned subsidiaries of Nova Furniture, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, organized under the laws of the BVI on April 29, 2003. We acquired Nova Furniture pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement on June 30, 2011. Diamond Bar is a California corporation organized on June 15, 2000, which we acquired pursuant to a stock purchase agreement on August 31, 2011.

21

Nova Dongguan markets and sells our products in China to stores in our franchise network and to wholesalers and agents for domestic retailers and exporters. Nova Dongguan also provides the design expertise and facilities to manufacture our branded products and products for international markets under Original Design Manufacturer (“ODM”) and Original Equipment Manufacturer (“OEM”) agreements. Nova Macao is a trading company, importing, marketing and selling products designed and manufactured by Nova Dongguan and third party manufacturers for the U.S. and international markets.  As of January, 2013 Nova Macao manages all aspects of Nova Dongguan’s export market. Diamond Bar markets and sells products manufactured by us and third party manufacturers under the Diamond Sofa brand to distributors and retailers principally in the U.S. market. We added a factory in 2011 and anticipate completing construction of a new plant at our Nova Dongguan facilities in the second quarter of 2013. The manufacturing capacity provided by these new plants will help Nova Dongguan maintain current and anticipated levels of production on pace with our anticipated expansion and increase in sales to China. We intend to meet our liquidity requirements, including capital expenditures related to the expansion of our manufacturing facilities at Nova Dongguan, purchase of raw materials and the expansion of our business, through cash flow provided by operations, the proceeds from our recent private placements and funds raised through future offerings of our securities, if and when we determine such offerings are required.

Principal Factors Affecting Our Financial Performance

Significant factors that we believe could affect our operating results are the (i) cost of raw materials; (ii) prices of our products to our international retailer and wholesaler customers and their markup to end consumers; (iii) consumer acceptance of our new brands and product collections; and (iv) general economic conditions in the U.S., China, Europe and other international markets. We have experienced and anticipate continued fluctuation in raw material costs as a result of world economic conditions, such as the price of stainless and carbon steel. We normally can pass the raw material cost increase to our customers, but there may be a time lag as we renegotiate pricing with our customers on existing products and introduce new product collections. We attempt to mitigate short-term risks of raw material price swings in between customer price negotiations by purchasing some raw materials in advance based on forecasted production needs. In addition, we are less susceptible to these short-term raw material pricing risks in the China retail market because we reserve the right under our product franchise agreements to adjust our wholesale and retail product pricing based on raw material price fluctuations, providing franchisees with at least one month’s notice prior to price adjustment. We believe most of our customers are willing to pay us higher prices for our high quality and stylish products, timely delivery and strong production capacity, which we expect will allow us to maintain high gross profit margins for our products. We have diversified our products by introducing brands and product collections exclusively for China, acquiring the Diamond Sofa brand in the U.S. market and developing higher-margin products for the U.S. and international markets. Consumer preference trends favoring high quality and stylish products and lifestyle-based furniture suites also should allow us to maintain our high gross profit margins. The markets in the U.S. and Europe remain challenging because they are experiencing a slower than anticipated recovery from the recent international financial crisis and the Euro-area crisis in particular. However, we believe that discretionary purchases of furniture by middle to upper middle-income consumers, our target global consumer market, will increase along with expected growth in the worldwide furniture trade and recovery of housing markets. Furthermore, we believe that our expansion of direct sales in China and the U.S. will have a positive impact on our net sales and net income, while helping to diversify our customer base and end consumer markets. 

Critical Accounting Policies

While our significant accounting policies are described more fully in Note 2 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements, we believe the following accounting policies are the most critical to aid you in fully understanding and evaluating this management discussion and analysis.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying  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, Nova Furniture, Nova Dongguan, Nova Macao and Nova Museum.

Use of Estimates

In preparing 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 at the dates of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting year. Significant estimates, required by management, include the allowance for bad debts, valuation of inventories and recoverability of long-lived assets and goodwill. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

22

Accounts Receivable

Our policy is to maintain an allowance for potential 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.  In 2012, the company elected to establish a bad debt allowance in consideration of (1) the many collections-based variables associated with a fast growing global operation and (2) being subject to possible defaults that cannot be reasonably anticipated. The Company maintained an allowance for bad debt of $223,983 and $226,137 as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.  

Revenue Recognition

Our revenue recognition policies are in compliance with ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition.” Sales revenue is recognized when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, no other significant obligations of ours exist and collectability is reasonably assured. No revenue is recognized if there are significant uncertainties regarding the recovery of the consideration due, or the possible return of the goods. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are recorded as unearned revenue.

Sales revenue represents the invoiced value of goods, net of value-added taxes, or VAT. All of our products sold in China are subject to VAT of 17% of the gross sales price. This VAT may be offset by VAT paid by us on raw materials and other materials purchased in China and included in the cost of producing the finished product. We recorded VAT payable and VAT receivable net of payments in the financial statements. The VAT tax return is filed offsetting the payables against the receivables. Sales and purchases are recorded net of VAT collected and paid when we act as an agent for the PRC government.

Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in USD. The functional currency of Nova Lifestyle, Nova Furniture, Nova Macao and Diamond Bar is the US Dollar. The functional currency of our PRC subsidiaries, Nova Dongguan and Nova Museum, is RMB. The functional currencies of our foreign operations are translated into USD for balance sheet accounts using the current exchange rates in effect as of the balance sheet date and for revenue and expense accounts using the weighted-average exchange rate during the fiscal year. The translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of stockholders’ equity, captioned “Accumulated other comprehensive income.” Gains and losses resulting from transactions denominated in foreign currencies are included in “Other income (expenses)” in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. There have been no significant fluctuations in the exchange rate for the conversion of RMB to USD after the balance sheet date.

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 management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. 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 our operations constitute a single reportable segment in accordance with ASC 280. We operate exclusively in one business: the design, manufacture and sale of furniture. All of our long-lived assets for production are located at our facilities in Dongguan, Guangdong Province, China, and operate within the same environmental, safety and quality regulations governing furniture manufacturers. We established Nova Macao and acquired Diamond Bar for the purpose of marketing and selling our products. As a result, management views the business and operations of Nova Dongguan, Nova Macao and Diamond Bar as a blended gross margin when determining future growth, return on investment and cash flows. Nova Museum, a non-profit organization engaged principally in the promotion and dissemination of the culture and history of furniture in China, has no operations or substantial assets other than its decorations and renovation, and its heritage and cultural assets are for the purpose of exhibition only.

Accordingly, management has concluded that we had one reportable segment under ASC 280 because: (i) all of our products sold through Nova Dongguan, Nova Macao and Diamond Bar are created with similar production processes, in the same facilities, under the same regulatory environment and sold to similar customers using similar distribution systems; (ii) Diamond Bar is a U.S. furniture distributor based in California but operates under the same senior management of Nova Dongguan and Nova Macao, and management views the operations of Nova Dongguan, Nova Macao and Diamond Bar as a whole for making business decisions; and (iii) although Nova Museum is mainly for disseminating the culture and history of furniture in China, it also serves a function of promoting and marketing our image and products by providing the platform and channel for consumers to be exposed to our furniture, it is operated under the same management with the same resources and it is an additive and supplemental unit to our main operation, the manufacture and sale of furniture.

23

New Accounting Pronouncements

On July 27, 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) - Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment.  The ASU provides entities with an option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether events or circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired.  If an entity concludes that it is more than 50% likely that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is not impaired, no further analysis is required.  However, if an entity concludes otherwise, it would be required to determine the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset to measure the amount of actual impairment, if any, as currently required under US GAAP.  The ASU is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012.  Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this pronouncement will not have a material impact on any entity’s financial statements.

As of March 31, 2013, there are no other recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted that would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Results of Operations

Comparison of Three months Ended March 31, 2013 and 2012

The following table sets forth the results of our operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012. Certain columns may not add due to rounding.

Net Sales

Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2013 were $15.00 million, an increase of 36% from $11.00 million in the same period of 2012; this increase in net sales resulted primarily from a 14% increase in average selling price and 19% increase in sales volume. Our subsidiary Diamond Bar contributed $4.69 million and $1.8 million to sales for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Our overall average selling price increased approximately 14% in the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to the same period of 2012, resulting primarily from increased sales volume of higher-margin products and finished goods purchased from third party manufacturers (but with relatively lower profit margin) in both the China domestic market and worldwide. Our largest selling product categories in the three months ended March 31, 2013 and the three months ended March 31, 2012 were sofas, dining tables and cabinets, which accounted for approximately 33%, 21% and 20% of sales, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 20%, 17% and 16% of sales, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Of the $4.00 million increase in net sales in the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to the same period of 2012, $3.53 million was attributable to sales in markets other than China , principally as a result of increased sales in North America. North American sales increased 67% to $7.88 million in three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $4.72 million in the same period of 2012 as we aggressively expanded sales to the U.S. market and integrated the operations of Diamond Bar. Sales to Australia decreased in the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to the same period of 2012, primarily because of the changing of our product mix and our marketing strategy and our changing sales and marketing strategy to diversify sales. As part of our gradual change in sales and marketing strategy in 2012, we increased marketing efforts in the U.S. and China markets while maintaining our marketing efforts and existing customer base in Europe. Sales to Europe were $3.27 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013, an increase of 24% from $2.64 million in the same period of 2012. We anticipate increasing sales and marketing to the European market as the region’s economic outlook improves. Sales to Hong Kong and other countries decreased to $0.09 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $0.0.68 million in the same period of 2012, primarily due to decrease of the sales orders from one of our major customers in Hong Kong because of slowdown of its business.

Sales to China, which includes sales to franchisees in addition to wholesalers and agents to domestic retail stores and distributors for the export market, accounted for 21% of sales in the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to 25% in the same period of 2012. Sales to franchisees selling our branded products in China contributed approximately $0.55 million or 17% of our total China sales in the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $0.72 million or 26% in the same period of 2012. The Company is currently adopting new image standards as well as product lines for its franchise operations that will take time to develop.  We expect this trend to reverse itself in the near future.  Overall sales to China increased 17% to $3.22 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $2.75 million in the same period of 2012.  The overall increase in China based sales was due to (1) improving economic conditions, (2) additional franchise stores, and (3) improved marketing and sales support, including our launch of an internet based sales website in September 2012.  We anticipate increasing sales volume in China as we expand internet sales of our branded products.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales consists primarily of material costs, labor costs and related overhead directly attributable to the production of our products. Total cost of sales increased 47% to $11.75 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $7.99 million in the same period of 2012 due primarily to an increase in sales and production. Cost of sales for products that we manufactured was $2.78 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013, a 13% decrease from $3.20 million in the same period of 2012. Material costs, labor costs and related overhead accounted for 67%, 23% and 10% of cost of sales for such products in the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to 72%, 20% and 8% in the same period of 2012, respectively. The cost of products purchased from third party manufacturers increased 87% to $8.98 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013 from $4.79 million in the same period of 2012. The increase of products purchased from third party manufacturers is primarily due to increased sales orders which exceeded the company’s current manufacturing capacity. Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales was 78% in the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to 73% in the same period of 2012. The increase in cost of sales as a percentage of net sales from the three months ended March 31, 2013 to the comparable period of 2012 resulted primarily from increased cost of products purchased from third party manufacturers as well as increased cost of raw material as a result of continuous inflation in China.

Gross Profit

Gross profit increased 8% to $3.25 million in three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $3.01 million in the same period of 2012. Our gross profit margin decreased to 22% in the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to 27% in the same period of 2012. The decrease in gross profit margin resulted primarily from increased cost of sales as a percentage of net sales, which was due primarily to changes in our sales and marketing strategy that included increased purchases of products from other manufacturers and decreased percentage of self-produced products, and overall price increases on raw material as a result of continuous inflation in China; in addition, we attracted more sales orders from certain big trading company customers by lowering the selling price to them.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses consisted of selling, general and administrative expenses. Operating expenses decreased 5% to $1.77 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013 from $1.86 million in the same period of 2012. Selling expense increased 5% to $0.72 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013 from $0.69 million in the same period of 2012 due primarily to increased sales, an increase of salary and commission to sales persons by $52,000 and an increase of marketing expense by $47,700, but offset with a decrease in delivery costs of $43,000 and a decrease in rents by $35,000. General and administration expense decreased slightly by 1% to $1.04 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013 from $1.05 million in the same period of 2012.

Other Income (Expense)

Other expense was $124,827 in the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared with other expense of $201 in the same period of 2012, an increase of $124,626. The increase in other expense was due primarily to increased financial expenses due to foreign exchange transaction loss, other taxes and surcharges, and interest expenses from the lines of credit.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense was $176,054 in the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared with $166,515 in the same period of 2012.  The increase in income tax expense is mainly due to increased taxable income.

Net Income

Net income was $1.18 million in the three months ended 2013, an increase of 20% from $0.98 million in the same period of 2012. Our net profit margin was 8% in the three months ended 2013, a decrease of 1% from 9% for the same period of 2012, due to the reasons explained above.

25

Earnings Per Share

In the first quarter of 2013, basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.06, compared with $0.05 in the same period last year.  EPS in the three months ended March 31, 2013 was calculated on the basis of 18,536,699 basic and 18,638,283 diluted weighted average shares outstanding, respectively, compared with 18,377,031 basic and 18,691,250 diluted weighted average shares outstanding in the comparable period of 2012.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal demands for liquidity are to increase sales in the U.S. and China, purchase inventory and for sales distribution and general corporate purposes. We intend to meet our liquidity requirements, including capital expenditures related to the expansion of our manufacturing facilities and production capacity, purchase of raw materials and the expansion of our business, primarily through cash flow provided by operations and collections of accounts receivable.

As we continue to execute our growth strategy focused on aggressively expanding sales, particularly in the U.S. and China, we remain focused on improving net margins and bottom line growth.  As noted above, a particular focus in this regard is on reducing reliance on lower margin third party manufacturing and expansion of our own higher margin production facilities. We also believe there is elasticity in pricing our higher end products and an ongoing opportunity to improve our product mix which should help us to stay in step with cost increases.  We further believe that increased direct sales in China, including the start-up of an internet sales platform for us to take orders via internet in China, will positively impact profitability.

The Company relies primarily on internally generated cash flow and proceeds under our existing credit facilities to support growth.  We may seek additional financing in the form of bank loans or other credit facilities or funds raised through future offerings of our equity or debt, if and when we determine such offerings are required. Should we determine to seek any such financing over the next twelve months, given our strong balance sheet as of March 31, 2013, and the current low interest rate environment, we believe it would most likely be in the form of non-diluting debt though there is no certainty that we may be able to do this and if so, on terms acceptable to us.  See “Lines of Credit,” below.

We had net working capital of $16,256,626 at March 31, 2013, a decrease of $286,927 from net working capital of $16,543,553 at December 31, 2012. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 2.31-to-1 at March 31, 2013.

The following is a summary of cash provided by or used in each of the indicated types of activities during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012:

	2013			2012
Cash (used in) provided by:
Operating activities	$	(362,868	)	$	(2,488,100)
Investing activities		(1,796,439	)		(251,874	)
Financing activities		(390,203	)		2,099,800

Net cash used in operating activities was $0.36 million in three months ended March 31, 2013, a decrease of cash outflow of $2.13 million or 85% from $2.49 million of cash used in operating activities in the same period of 2012. The decrease in cash outflow was attributable primarily to improved timely collection on accounts receivables and less payment made for outstanding accounts payables and decreased inventory that resulted in less cash outflow.  It is, however, offset by the increase in payment for advances to suppliers and payment for accrued expenses and other payables.

Net cash used in investing activities was $1.80 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013, a decrease of $1.54 million or 613% from $0.25 million in the same period of 2012. In the first quarter of 2013, we paid $0.06 million for the acquisition of property and equipment, $1.50 million for deposit on the proposed acquisition of Bright Swallow International Group, Ltd (“Bright Swallow”), and $0.23 million for construction in progress for a new manufacturing plant at Nova Dongguan (Phase II factory construction project). In the same period of 2012, we paid $0.08 million for the acquisition of property and equipment, $0.15 million partial payment for the acquisition a land use right, and $0.03 million for deposit on factory construction.

On December 21, 2012, we signed a term sheet to acquire all issued and outstanding shares of Bright Swallow from its sole shareholder for the total purchase price of $6.5 million in cash and we executed a definitive purchase agreement on March 22, 2013. Bright Swallow is a British Virgin Island company engaged in export of sofas to overseas customers. We previously paid a $3 million refundable deposit before December 31, 2012 with the remaining $3.5 million due upon closing. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company paid an additional $1.5 million deposit to the selling shareholder of Bright Swallow. The total $4.5 million deposit was refundable if we did not close this transaction. The Company paid the balance of the purchase price and completed the acquisition transaction in late April 2013.

26

Net cash used in financing activities was $0.39 million in three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to the cash inflow of $2.10 million in the same period of 2012. In the first quarter of 2013, we repaid $4.10 million for bank loans, but borrowed an additional $3.71 million from bank loans and received $5,948 from warrants exercised. In the comparable period of 2012, we received $1.75 million from a private placement, and $0.14 million from warrants exercised.

As of March 31, 2012, we had gross accounts receivable of $21,763,321, of which $14,963,872 was with aging within 90 days, $6,799,449 was with aging over 90 days; we had an allowance for bad debt of $223,983 for accounts receivables. The decrease in accounts receivable was primarily due to improved collection on accounts receivable in the three months ended March 31, 2013.

To attract franchisees to our new franchise network in 2010, we granted new store operators a payment term of 90 days. We have a short history of collections with franchisees, but based on subsequent collections, we fully expect payment. Our management assesses the financial position, credit quality, credit history and other factors such as current market conditions before entering into product franchise agreements with new store operators to help ensure the franchisee’s ability to make payment in a timely manner. We retain the right to review and assess the performance of franchisees annually under the product franchise agreement, enabling our termination of franchises that fail to meet certain performance targets or make payments on product orders. We have since started phasing out the preferential payment terms in 2011, and our current product franchise agreement requires payment in full before delivery. Management expects accounts receivable outstanding from sales in China to decrease correspondingly going forward.

Sales to international markets typically are made through letters of credit, but for some long-term, high volume customers, such as Actona Company, we accept telegraphic transfer, or T/T, with a payment term of 15 days after delivery. Historically, we have not experienced bad debts from our sales to international markets. Our accounts receivable related to sales to international markets typically are less than three months, depending on customer shipment schedules. We expect the balance of accounts receivable to decrease as our new sales strategy and shortened payment term to our major customers in the international markets takes effect along with our new payment terms for franchisees.

On November 16, 2009, the Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation Bureau of Dongguan approved an increase in the registered capital of Nova Dongguan from $8 million to $20 million, with the $12 million in additional contribution of capital to be paid within two years, for which we received an extension. As of March 31, 2013, Nova Dongguan has received capital contributions of $14.60 million. The remaining $5.40 million of additional contribution to capital was originally due by June 30, 2012, but was extended to June 30, 2013. We may apply for another extension of the payment period and a reduction of the registered capital requirement, as allowed by PRC regulations for foreign-invested enterprises. If we do not receive an extension or reduction of registered capital, and we are unable to make the required contribution to registered capital, Nova Dongguan may be required to pay a negotiated penalty, typically 3% to 5% of the unsatisfied contribution of registered capital remaining outstanding, or up to $370,000 based on the amount remaining outstanding as of March 31, 2013. After a six-month period following payment of any such penalty, Nova Dongguan may request a reduction of its registered capital to the amount already contributed with the outstanding balance waived without risk of business license revocation. Although repatriation of profits or dividends by Nova Dongguan will require approval by the SAFE until the contribution of capital is satisfied or the registered capital requirement is reduced to the amount contributed, based upon our prior working experience with the relevant PRC government agencies, we believe that such approval would be granted.  

Private Placement

On August 18, 2011, we completed a closing of a private placement pursuant to which we sold 2,998,267 units, each such unit consisting of 1 share of our common stock and a warrant to purchase 15% of 1 share of our common stock, at $1.50 per unit for gross proceeds of $4,497,401 (net proceeds of $3,859,933 after commission and offering-related costs). The warrants are immediately exercisable, expire on the third anniversary of their issuance and entitle the holders to purchase 449,740 shares of our common stock at $2.00 per share. We may call the warrants at $4.00 per share at any time after: (i) a registration statement registering the common stock underlying the warrants becomes effective; (ii) the common stock is listed on a national securities exchange; and (iii) the closing price of the common stock equals or exceeds $4.00. We paid the placement agent in the private placement commissions consisting of $449,740 and warrants, having the same terms and conditions as the warrants issued in the private placement, to purchase 449,740 shares of our common stock. Certain purchasers of the units and the placement agent received registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement that requires us to register the shares of common stock and the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants issued to such shareholders in the private placement. The registration statement with respect to such securities was initially declared effective on October 28, 2011. On March 30, 2012, the Company filed a post-effective amendment for the registration statement with SEC and it was declared effective on January 10, 2013. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, warrants for 2,974 shares were exercised at $2 per share.

27

On January 13, 2012, we completed a closing of a private placement pursuant to which we sold 517,000 units, each such unit consisting of 1 share of our common stock and a warrant to purchase 15% of 1 share of our common stock, at $4.00 per unit for gross proceeds of $2,068,000 (net proceeds of $1,753,849 after commission and offering-related costs). The warrants are immediately exercisable, expire on the third anniversary of their issuance and entitle the holders to purchase 77,550 shares of our common stock at $4.50 per share. We may call the warrants at $5.00 per share at any time after: (i) a registration statement registering the common stock underlying the warrants becomes effective; (ii) the common stock is listed on a national securities exchange; and (iii) the closing price of the common stock equals or exceeds $5.00. We paid the placement agent in the private placement commissions consisting of $206,800 and warrants, having the same terms and conditions as the warrants issued in the private placement, to purchase 77,550 shares of our common stock. The purchasers of the units and placement agent received registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement that requires us to file a registration statement within 60 days of the closing of the private placement covering the shares of common stock and the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants issued in the private placement. The registration statement with respect to such securities was filed with SEC on March 30, 2012 and was declared effective on January 15, 2013.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Not required.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2013, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of such date as identified in our internal control over financial reporting below.

Notwithstanding this material weakness, our management has concluded that, based upon the interim remediation of internal control described below under “Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting”, our consolidated financial statements for the periods covered by and included in this report are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for each of the periods presented herein.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

As of March 31, 2013, we have identified certain matters that constituted a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. Specifically, our Board of Directors currently lacks independent directors and an audit committee, and we lack sufficient accounting personnel with the appropriate level of knowledge, experience and training in U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting requirements.  As of the date of this filing, we have conducted an extensive search for independent directors and have chosen three (3) persons meeting the necessary criteria to which we have extended an invitation to serve on our board. As of the date of this filing all three candidates have proffered conditional acceptances based upon their due diligence, final interviews with our corporate team, and securing D&O insurance coverage or a suitable alternative. We have also completed creation of the necessary charters to be adopted for our Audit, Compensation, and Nominating/Corporate Compliance Committees. Our goal is to appoint these candidates to our Board of Directors once they provide us with their final acceptance notification

We have taken, and are taking, certain actions to remediate the material weakness related to our lack of U.S. GAAP experience. We plan to hire additional credentialed professional staff and consulting professionals with greater knowledge and experience of U.S. GAAP and related regulatory requirements to oversee our financial reporting process in order to ensure our compliance with U.S. GAAP and other relevant securities laws. In addition, we plan to provide additional training to our accounting personnel on U.S. GAAP, and other regulatory requirements regarding the preparation of financial statements. Until such time as we hire qualified accounting personnel with the requisite U.S. GAAP knowledge and experience and train our current accounting personnel, we have engaged an outside CPA with U.S. GAAP knowledge and experience to supplement our current internal accounting personnel and assist us in the preparation of our financial statements to ensure that our financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We are taking certain actions to remediate other identified material weaknesses related to a lack of independent directors and of an audit committee. We plan to add independent directors and establish an audit committee as a separately designated committee of the Board of Directors with a written charter by June 30, 2013. By June 30, 2013 we plan to appoint an “audit committee financial expert” as defined under Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K as a requirement to the listing of our common stock on a national securities exchange. In addition to the above stated remediation plan we hired an outside consultant in March 2012 who is  assisting us in improving the design and operations of our internal controls over financial reporting and their assessment for our U.S. parent company and all subsidiaries.

We believe the measures described above will facilitate remediation of the material weaknesses identified above and will continue to strengthen and have a material impact on our internal control over financial reporting. However, because this remediation process is still in its initial stages, we can give no assurance as to when it will be completed. As we continue to evaluate and work to improve our internal control over financial reporting, we may determine that additional measures are necessary to address control deficiencies.

Other than as described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2013, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Exhibit 31.1

CERTIFICATION OF CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

PURSUANT TO SECTION 302(a)

OF THE SARBANES-OXLEY ACT OF 2002

2.   Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this report;

Accounting Policies, by Policy (Policies)

3 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2013

Basis of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The 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 condensed consolidated financial information as of March 31, 2013 and for the three month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 have been prepared without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures, which are normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have not been included. The interim 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, 2012, previously filed with the SEC on April 1, 2013.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present a fair statement of the Company’s interim condensed consolidated financial position as of March 31, 2013 its interim condensed consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, 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.

Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Use of Estimates

In preparing 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 at the dates of the consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates, required by management, include the allowance for bad debt, valuation of inventories and recoverability of long-lived assets and goodwill. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Business Combinations Policy [Policy Text Block]

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, 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 asset 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 and Intangible Assets, Goodwill, Policy [Policy Text Block]

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 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 first step of the two-step goodwill impairment test is required to be performed. 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 first step of the two-step goodwill impairment test for Diamond Bar reporting unit.  Accordingly, as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company concluded there was no impairment of goodwill.

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Trade and Other Accounts Receivable, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Accounts Receivable

The Company’s policy is to maintain an allowance for potential 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. Based on historical collection activity, the Company recorded $223,983 and $226,137 as allowance for bad debts as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

Inventory, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value with cost determined on a weighted-average basis, which approximates the first-in first-out method. Management compares the cost of inventories with the net realizable value and an allowance is made for writing down their inventories to market value, if lower. The Company did not record any provision for write-downs of inventory at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Plant, Property and Equipment and Construction in Progress

Plant, property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred; 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 10% salvage value and estimated lives as follows:

Building and workshops	20 years
Computer and office equipment	5 years
Museum decoration and renovation	10 years
Machinery	10 years
Autos	5 years

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment attributable to manufacturing activities is capitalized as part of inventories, and expensed to cost of goods sold when inventories are sold.

Construction in progress represents capital expenditure in respect of direct costs of construction or acquisition and design fees incurred. Capitalization of these costs ceases and the construction in progress is transferred to the appropriate category of property, plant and equipment when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the assets for their intended use are completed. Construction in progress is not depreciated.

Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, Including Intangible Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

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

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. Based on its review, the Company believes that, as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, there were no significant impairments of its long-lived assets except that the Company disposed of an obsolete and unused workshop and recognized a loss of $123,775 during the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Research and Development Expense, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Research and Development

Research and development costs are related primarily to the Company designing and testing its new products in development stage. Research and development costs are recognized in general and administrative expenses and expensed as incurred. Research and development expense was $86,752 and $56,908 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]

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 actual effective tax rate of 13% for the period ended March 31, 2013 differs from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate primarily as a result of a tax benefit from the tax-exemption status of Nova Macau offset by tax liability reserves from uncertain tax positions.  

Nova Lifestyle, Inc. and Diamond Bar Outdoors, Inc. are subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes. Nova Furniture BVI was incorporated in the BVI. There is no income tax for a company domiciled in the BVI. Accordingly, the Company’s consolidated financial statements do not present any income tax provision related to the BVI tax jurisdiction where Nova Furniture BVI is domiciled.

Nova Dongguan and Nova Museum are governed by the Enterprise Income Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”), which is subject to a 25% corporate income tax. Nova Museum is subject to a 25% corporate income tax in the first year and allowed to apply for tax-exempt status in the second year following its incorporation.  Nova Macao is an income tax-exempt entity incorporated and domiciled in Macao.

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company recorded income tax expense of approximately $176,000. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company recorded income tax expense of approximately $167,000.  The increase in income tax expense is primarily due to the increase in profits of Diamond Bar.

As of March 31, 2013, unrecognized tax benefits were approximately $4.0 million.  The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective tax rate was $4.0 million as of March 31, 2013. As of December 31, 2012, unrecognized tax benefits were approximately $4.0 million.  The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective tax rate was $4.0 million as of March 31, 2012.

A reconciliation of the January 1, 2013, through March 31, 2013, amount of unrecognized tax benefits excluding interest and penalties ("Gross UTB") is as follows:

	Gross UTB
Beginning Balance – January 1, 2013	$	4,010,657
Increase in unrecorded tax benefits taken in 2013		13,949
Exchange rate adjustment – 2013		10,641
Ending Balance – March 31, 2013	$	4,035,247

At March 31, 2013, and December 31, 2012, the Company had cumulatively accrued approximately $682,000 and $601,000, respectively, 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 expense, which totaled approximately $81,000 and $67,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, and 2012, respectively. The Company does not anticipate any significant changes to its unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months.

As of March 31, 2013, aggregate undistributed earnings of approximately $15.2 million of the Company’s PRC and Macao subsidiaries that are available for distribution to the Company are considered to be indefinitely reinvested, and, accordingly, no provision has been recorded relating to the accumulated earnings from its PRC and Macao operation.

Nova Dongguan is subject to taxation in the PRC. Nova Dongguan’s PRC income tax returns are generally not subject to examination by the tax authorities for tax years before 2008. With a few exceptions, the tax years 2008-2012 remain open to examination by tax authorities in the PRC; the tax years 2011-2012 for US entities remain open to examination by tax authorities in the US.

Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenue recognition policies are in compliance with ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition.” Sales revenue is recognized when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed and no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectability is reasonably assured. No revenue is recognized if there are significant uncertainties regarding the recovery of the consideration due, or the possible return of the goods. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are recorded as unearned revenue.

Sales revenue represents the invoiced value of goods, net of value-added taxes (“VAT”). All of the Company’s products sold in China are subject to the PRC VAT of 17% of the gross sales price. This VAT may be offset by VAT paid by the Company on raw materials and other materials purchased in China and included in the cost of producing the finished product. The Company records VAT payable and VAT receivable net of payments in the consolidated financial statements. The VAT tax return is filed offsetting the payables against the receivables. Sales and purchases are recorded net of VAT collected and paid as the Company acts as an agent for the government.

Franchise Arrangements [Policy Text Block]

Franchise Arrangements

In 2010, the Company began entering into area product franchise agreements with franchisees who operate specialty furniture stores carrying only Nova-branded products. The product franchise agreement provides for the franchisee to retail Nova-brand furniture products for a period of one year from the date of the agreement. The franchisee is required to pay a deposit of RMB 30,000 at the signing of the agreement, which is used as payment for future purchases and is deferred on the Company’s balance sheet as a customer deposit. The franchisee is required to guarantee a minimum purchase amount from the Company during the contract period. The Company has the right to terminate the agreement should the franchisee fail to meet the minimum purchase amounts. The Company provides the franchisee with store images and designs, signage, floor plan product information and training. In addition, the Company will rebate a per square meter subsidy to the franchisee for the store build-out within six months from the agreement date. The franchisee earns 30% of the rebate on its initial purchase from the Company and then at a rate of 5% of each subsequent purchase until fully refunded of its deposit or six months from the agreement date, whichever is earlier. At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had franchising subsidy payable of $179,716 and $179,786, respectively. In accordance with ASC 605-50, as the Company does not receive an identifiable benefit from these rebates, the rebates are recorded as a reduction of revenue on sales to the franchisees.

Cost of Sales, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales consists primarily of material costs, labor costs and related overhead that are directly attributable to the production of the products. Write-down of inventory to the lower of cost or net realizable value is also recorded in the cost of sales.

Shipping and Handling Cost, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Shipping and Handling Costs

Shipping and handling costs related to delivery of finished goods are included in selling expenses. During the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, shipping and handling costs were $103,567 and $144,796, respectively.

Advertising Costs, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Advertising

Advertising expenses consist primarily of costs of promotion and marketing for the Company’s image and products, and costs of direct advertising. The Company expenses all advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expense was $97,363 and $56,908 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block]

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, warrants and stock options 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 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 earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2013		2012
	(Unaudited)		(Unaudited)
Net income	$	1,178,467	$	978,662
Weighted average shares outstanding – basic		18,536,699		18,377,031
Effect of dilutive securities:
Unexercised warrants		101,584		314,219
Weighted average shares outstanding – diluted		18,638,283		18,691,250
Earnings (loss) per share – basic	$	0.06	$	0.05
Earnings (loss) per share – diluted	$	0.06	$	0.05

At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had no options to purchase shares of common stock outstanding and warrants to purchase 980,306 and 983,280 shares of common stock were outstanding and exercisable, respectively.  For the three months ended March 31, 2013, 155,100 shares purchasable under the warrants were excluded from EPS as their effects were anti-dilutive, respectively.

Concentration Risk, Credit Risk, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist primarily of accounts 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.

Two major customers accounted for 30% (20% and 10% for each) and 37% (22% and 15% for each) of the Company’s sales for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Accounts receivable from these customers amounted to $5,166,576 and $4,927,157 as of March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The Company purchased its products from five major vendors accounting for 70% (17%, 14%, 15%, 12%, and 12% for each) during the three months ended March 31, 2013, and from one major vendor accounting for 10% of the purchases during the three months ended March 31, 2012, respectively. Accounts payable to these vendors were $1,368,065 and $2,242,851 as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

The operations of the Company are located principally in China and the US. Accordingly, the Company’s Chinese subsidiaries' business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environments in China, as well as by the general state of the PRC economy.

The Company’s operations in the PRC are subject to specific considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environments in China and foreign currency exchange. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in PRC government policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.

The Company’s sales, purchase and expense transactions in China and Macao are denominated in Chinese Yuan Renminbi (“RMB”) and Macau Pataca (“MOP”) (prior to 2011), respectively, and all of the assets and liabilities of the Company’s subsidiaries in China and Macao are also denominated in RMB and MOP (prior to 2011), respectively. The RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currencies under the current law. In China, foreign exchange transactions are required by law to be transacted only by authorized financial institutions. Remittances in currencies other than RMB may require certain supporting documentation in order to affect the remittance.

Statement of Cash Flows Policy [Policy Text Block]

Statement of Cash Flows

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 230, “Statement of Cash Flows,” cash flows from the Company’s operations is calculated based upon local currencies. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows may not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Some of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and short-term debt, have carrying amounts that approximate their fair values due to their short maturities. 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 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.

The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under ASC Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,” and ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.”

Foreign Currency Transactions and Translations Policy [Policy Text Block]

Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions

The consolidated financial statements are presented in USD. The functional currency of Nova LifeStyle, Nova Furniture, Nova Macao and Diamond Bar is the United States Dollar (“$” or “USD”). The functional currency of Nova Dongguan and Nova Museum is RMB. The functional currencies of the Company’s foreign operations are translated into USD for balance sheet accounts using the current exchange rates in effect as of the balance sheet date and for revenue and expense accounts using the weighted-average exchange rate during the fiscal year. The translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of stockholders’ equity, captioned “Accumulated other comprehensive income.” Gains and losses resulting from transactions denominated in foreign currencies are included in “Other income (expenses)” in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. There have been no significant fluctuations in the exchange rate for the conversion of RMB to USD after the balance sheet date.

The RMB to USD exchange rates in effect as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, were RMB6.2689 = USD$1.00 and RMB6.2855 = USD$1.00, respectively. The weighted-average RMB to USD exchange rates in effect for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, were RMB6.2785 = USD$1.00 and RMB6.3074 = USD$1.00, respectively. The exchange rates used in translation from RMB to USD were published by the People’s Bank of the People’s Republic of China.

Comprehensive Income, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

The Company follows FASB ASC 220 “Reporting Comprehensive Income.” Comprehensive income is comprised of net income and all changes to the consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity, except those due to investments by stockholders, changes in paid-in capital and distributions to stockholders. Comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 included net income and foreign currency translation adjustments.

Segment Reporting, Policy [Policy Text Block]

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 management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. 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, manufacture and sale of furniture. All of the Company’s long-lived assets for production are located at its facilities in Dongguan, Guangdong Province, China, and operate within the same environmental, safety and quality regulations governing furniture manufacturers. The Company established Nova Macao, and acquired Diamond Bar for the purpose of marketing and selling the Company’s products. As a result, management views the business and operations of Nova Dongguan, Nova Macao and Diamond Bar as a blended gross margin when determining future growth, return on investment and cash flows. Nova Museum, a non-profit organization engaged principally in the promotion and dissemination of the culture and history of furniture in China, has no operations or substantial assets other than its decorations and renovation, and its heritage and cultural assets are for the purpose of exhibition only.

Accordingly, management concluded that the Company had one reportable segment under ASC 280 because: (i) the Company’s products sold through Nova Dongguan, Nova Macao and Diamond Bar are created with similar production processes, in the same facilities, under the same regulatory environment and sold to similar customers using similar distribution systems; (ii) Diamond Bar is a U.S. furniture distributor based in California but operates under the same senior management of Nova Dongguan and Nova Macao, and managementviews the operations of Nova Dongguan, Nova Macao and Diamond Bar as a whole for making business decisions; and (iii) although Nova Museum is principally engaged in the dissemination of the culture and history of furniture in China, it also serves a function of promoting and marketing the Company’s image and products by providing a platform and channel for consumers to be exposed to the Company and its products, it is operated under the same management with the same resources and in the same location as Nova Dongguan, and it is an additive and supplemental unit to the Company’s main operations, the manufacture and sale of furniture.

New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]

New Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-2, Comprehensive Income (ASC Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, the new ASU requires entities to disclose in a single location (either on the face of the financial statement that reports net income or in the notes) the effects of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI). For items reclassified out of AOCI and into net income in their entirety, entities must disclose the effect of the reclassification on each affected net income item. For AOCI reclassification items that are not reclassified in their entirety into net income, entities must provide a cross-reference to other required U.S. GAAP disclosures. There is no change in the requirement to present the components of net income and other comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement or two separate consecutive statements. The ASU does not change the items currently reported in other comprehensive income.

For public entities, the new disclosure requirements are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012, and interim periods within those years (i.e., the first quarter of 2013 for entities with calendar year-ends). The ASU applies prospectively, and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

As of March 31, 2013, there is no recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted that would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Note 1 - Organization and Description of 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.

Effective as of June 27, 2011, the company changed its name from Stevens Resources, Inc. to Nova LifeStyle, Inc. Concurrently with this action, Nova LifeStyle authorized a 5-for-1 forward split of its common stock effective June 27, 2011. Prior to the forward split, Nova LifeStyle had 2,596,000 shares of its common stock outstanding, and, after giving effect to the forward split, it had 12,980,000 shares of its common stock outstanding. The effect of the stock split has been retroactively restated in the periods presented.

On June 30, 2011, Nova LifeStyle entered into and consummated a series of agreements that resulted in the acquisition of all of the ordinary shares of Nova Furniture Limited (“Nova Furniture”), a corporation primarily engaged in investment in China and organized on April 29, 2003, under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (“BVI”). Pursuant to the terms of a Share Exchange Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated June 30, 2011 (the “Share Exchange Agreement”), Nova LifeStyle issued 11,920,000 shares of its common stock to the four designee shareholders of Nova Furniture in exchange for their 10,000 ordinary shares of Nova Furniture, consisting of all of its issued and outstanding capital stock. Concurrently with the Share Exchange Agreement and as a condition thereof, Nova LifeStyle entered into an agreement with its former president and director, pursuant to which he returned 10,000,000 shares of Nova LifeStyle’s common stock to Nova LifeStyle for cancelation in exchange for an unsecured 90-day promissory note of $80,000 bearing interest at 0.46% per annum. The $80,000 was paid in full on August 30, 2011. Upon completion of the foregoing transactions, Nova LifeStyle had 14,900,000 shares of its common stock issued and outstanding.

For accounting purposes, the transaction described above was treated as a recapitalization of Nova Furniture because Nova Furniture’s shareholders own the majority of Nova LifeStyle’s outstanding common stock following the transaction and exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the consolidated entity, and Nova LifeStyle was a non-operating shell prior to the acquisition. Pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules, the merger or acquisition of a private operating company into a non-operating public shell with nominal net assets is considered a capital transaction in substance, rather than a business combination. As a result, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been retroactively restated to reflect the recapitalization.

Nova Furniture formed Nova Furniture (Dongguan) Co., Ltd. (“Nova Dongguan”) on June 6, 2003, as a wholly foreign owned enterprise incorporated in the Guangdong Province of the People’s Republic of China (“China” or the “PRC”) and primarily engaged in the development, manufacture and sale of furniture.

The controlling shareholders of Nova Furniture formed Nova Furniture Holdings Limited (“Nova Holdings”) effective March 8, 2005, under the laws of the BVI and transferred all of their equity interests in Nova Furniture to Nova Holdings. This transaction was accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common control, with assets and liabilities transferred at their carrying amounts, and the financial statements are presented as if the reorganization had occurred retroactively.

On May 20, 2006, Nova Holdings formed Nova Furniture Macao Commercial Offshore Ltd. (“Nova Macao”) under the laws of Macao. Nova Macao is engaged in furniture trading with products purchased and imported mainly from Nova Dongguan.

On January 3, 2011, Nova Furniture issued an additional 11,917,616 shares (post-recapitalization shares) of its capital stock, of which 2,235,000 shares were issued to Nova Holdings and 9,682,616 shares were issued to St. Joyal, an unrelated U.S. company incorporated in the State of California and engaged in business development and investment activities. Following this issuance, Nova Holdings held 81.25% and St. Joyal held 18.75% of the equity interests in Nova Furniture. Pursuant to a shareholder agreement, St. Joyal is committed to pay $2.4 million by January 1, 2014, in exchange for its 18.75% equity interest in Nova Furniture. As of March 31, 2013, St. Joyal has paid $0.45 million to the Company and $1.95 million remains outstanding.

On January 14, 2011, Nova Holdings transferred its equity interest in Nova Macao to Nova Furniture. This transaction was accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common control, with assets and liabilities transferred at their carrying amounts, and the financial statements are presented as if the reorganization had occurred retroactively as of the beginning of the first period presented.

On March 17, 2011, Nova Dongguan incorporated Nova Dongguan Chinese Style Furniture Museum (“Nova Museum”) under the laws of the PRC and contributed capital of RMB 1 million ($152,177). Nova Dongguan made an additional capital contribution of RMB 1.13 million ($172,351) on March 29, 2011. Nova Museum is a non-profit organization engaged principally in the promotion and dissemination of the culture and history of furniture in China.

On August 31, 2011, Nova LifeStyle acquired all the outstanding capital stock of Diamond Bar Outdoors, Inc. (“Diamond Bar”), a U.S. company incorporated in the State of California, for $0.45 million paid in full at closing. Diamond Bar, doing business as Diamond Sofa, is engaged in the import, marketing and sale of furniture in the U.S. market. Prior to its acquisition by Nova LifeStyle, Diamond Bar was one of the Company’s customers, and upon completion of the foregoing transaction, Diamond Bar became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

Concurrently with the acquisition of Diamond Bar, the Company entered into a trademark purchase and assignment agreement dated August 31, 2011, with St. Joyal for the assignment of all rights, title and interest in certain registered U.S. trademarks for $0.2 million paid in full at the closing. The trademarks are used in the business of Diamond Bar, which previously had licensed the right to use the trademarks from St. Joyal.

The “Company” and “Nova” collectively refer to Nova LifeStyle, the U.S. parent, and its subsidiaries, Nova Furniture, Nova Dongguan, Nova Macao, Nova Museum and Diamond Bar.

Note 19 - Subsequent Events

The company has evaluated subsequent events through the issuance of the consolidated financial statements and following subsequent events have been identified that require disclosure in this section:

In April 2013, 17,000 shares of warrants were exercised into common stock at $2.00 a share.

On May 3, 2013, the Company entered an amended and restated employment agreement dated on June 30, 2011 with Thanh H. Lam to serve as the Company’s president for five years. The agreement provides for an annual salary of $80,000, 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and an annual bonus at the sole discretion of the Board.

On April 24, 2013, Nova Lifestyle acquired all the outstanding capital stock representing 100% equity interest of Bright Swallow for $6.50 million cash paid in full at the closing pursuant to a stock purchase agreement entered into with the sole shareholder of Bright Swallow on March 22, 2013. Bright Swallow is a BVI company engaged in export of sofas to overseas customers. The Stock Purchase Agreement contained such representations, warranties, obligations and conditions as are customary for transactions of the type governed by such agreements.

As a result of the acquisition, Bright Swallow became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Prior to the closing of the transaction, there were no material relationships between the Company and Bright Swallow, or any of their respective affiliates, directors or officers, or any associates of their respective officers or directors, other than in respect of the Stock Acquisition Agreement.The purchase of Bright Swallow will be accounted for as a business combination under ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations”.   The purpose of the acquisition is to expedite the Company’s market share expansion.  The Company started to manage and fund Bright Swallow’s operations and pay its debts (if any) from the closing date of the acquisition April 24, 2013.  Bright Swallow is in the process of legal title transfer with the local authority, and expects to complete the legal title transfer within a few weeks.

The following table summarizes the preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of March 31, 2013 (the latest balance sheet date of Bright Swallow’s financial statements is available for). The preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at acquisition closing date were used for the purpose of purchase price allocation. The excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired over the purchase price, or $500,000, will be recorded as bargain purchase gain if the final valuations approximate these estimates. The final purchase price allocation may differ from these preliminary estimates.

Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The 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 condensed consolidated financial information as of March 31, 2013 and for the three month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 have been prepared without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures, which are normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have not been included. The interim 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, 2012, previously filed with the SEC on April 1, 2013.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present a fair statement of the Company’s interim condensed consolidated financial position as of March 31, 2013 its interim condensed consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, 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.

Use of Estimates

In preparing 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 at the dates of the consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates, required by management, include the allowance for bad debt, valuation of inventories and recoverability of long-lived assets and goodwill. 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, 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 asset 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 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 first step of the two-step goodwill impairment test is required to be performed. 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 first step of the two-step goodwill impairment test for Diamond Bar reporting unit.  Accordingly, as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company concluded there was no impairment of goodwill.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable

The Company’s policy is to maintain an allowance for potential 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. Based on historical collection activity, the Company recorded $223,983 and $226,137 as allowance for bad debts as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value with cost determined on a weighted-average basis, which approximates the first-in first-out method. Management compares the cost of inventories with the net realizable value and an allowance is made for writing down their inventories to market value, if lower. The Company did not record any provision for write-downs of inventory at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Plant, Property and Equipment and Construction in Progress

Plant, property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred; 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 10% salvage value and estimated lives as follows:

Building and workshops	20 years
Computer and office equipment	5 years
Museum decoration and renovation	10 years
Machinery	10 years
Autos	5 years

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment attributable to manufacturing activities is capitalized as part of inventories, and expensed to cost of goods sold when inventories are sold.

Construction in progress represents capital expenditure in respect of direct costs of construction or acquisition and design fees incurred. Capitalization of these costs ceases and the construction in progress is transferred to the appropriate category of property, plant and equipment when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the assets for their intended use are completed. Construction in progress is not depreciated.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

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

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. Based on its review, the Company believes that, as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, there were no significant impairments of its long-lived assets except that the Company disposed of an obsolete and unused workshop and recognized a loss of $123,775 during the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are related primarily to the Company designing and testing its new products in development stage. Research and development costs are recognized in general and administrative expenses and expensed as incurred. Research and development expense was $86,752 and $56,908 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, 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 actual effective tax rate of 13% for the period ended March 31, 2013 differs from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate primarily as a result of a tax benefit from the tax-exemption status of Nova Macau offset by tax liability reserves from uncertain tax positions.  

Nova Lifestyle, Inc. and Diamond Bar Outdoors, Inc. are subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes. Nova Furniture BVI was incorporated in the BVI. There is no income tax for a company domiciled in the BVI. Accordingly, the Company’s consolidated financial statements do not present any income tax provision related to the BVI tax jurisdiction where Nova Furniture BVI is domiciled.

Nova Dongguan and Nova Museum are governed by the Enterprise Income Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”), which is subject to a 25% corporate income tax. Nova Museum is subject to a 25% corporate income tax in the first year and allowed to apply for tax-exempt status in the second year following its incorporation.  Nova Macao is an income tax-exempt entity incorporated and domiciled in Macao.

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company recorded income tax expense of approximately $176,000. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company recorded income tax expense of approximately $167,000.  The increase in income tax expense is primarily due to the increase in profits of Diamond Bar.

As of March 31, 2013, unrecognized tax benefits were approximately $4.0 million.  The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective tax rate was $4.0 million as of March 31, 2013. As of December 31, 2012, unrecognized tax benefits were approximately $4.0 million.  The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective tax rate was $4.0 million as of March 31, 2012.

A reconciliation of the January 1, 2013, through March 31, 2013, amount of unrecognized tax benefits excluding interest and penalties ("Gross UTB") is as follows:

	Gross UTB
Beginning Balance – January 1, 2013	$	4,010,657
Increase in unrecorded tax benefits taken in 2013		13,949
Exchange rate adjustment – 2013		10,641
Ending Balance – March 31, 2013	$	4,035,247

At March 31, 2013, and December 31, 2012, the Company had cumulatively accrued approximately $682,000 and $601,000, respectively, 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 expense, which totaled approximately $81,000 and $67,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, and 2012, respectively. The Company does not anticipate any significant changes to its unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months.

As of March 31, 2013, aggregate undistributed earnings of approximately $15.2 million of the Company’s PRC and Macao subsidiaries that are available for distribution to the Company are considered to be indefinitely reinvested, and, accordingly, no provision has been recorded relating to the accumulated earnings from its PRC and Macao operation.

Nova Dongguan is subject to taxation in the PRC. Nova Dongguan’s PRC income tax returns are generally not subject to examination by the tax authorities for tax years before 2008. With a few exceptions, the tax years 2008-2012 remain open to examination by tax authorities in the PRC; the tax years 2011-2012 for US entities remain open to examination by tax authorities in the US.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenue recognition policies are in compliance with ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition.” Sales revenue is recognized when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed and no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectability is reasonably assured. No revenue is recognized if there are significant uncertainties regarding the recovery of the consideration due, or the possible return of the goods. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are recorded as unearned revenue.

Sales revenue represents the invoiced value of goods, net of value-added taxes (“VAT”). All of the Company’s products sold in China are subject to the PRC VAT of 17% of the gross sales price. This VAT may be offset by VAT paid by the Company on raw materials and other materials purchased in China and included in the cost of producing the finished product. The Company records VAT payable and VAT receivable net of payments in the consolidated financial statements. The VAT tax return is filed offsetting the payables against the receivables. Sales and purchases are recorded net of VAT collected and paid as the Company acts as an agent for the government.

Franchise Arrangements

In 2010, the Company began entering into area product franchise agreements with franchisees who operate specialty furniture stores carrying only Nova-branded products. The product franchise agreement provides for the franchisee to retail Nova-brand furniture products for a period of one year from the date of the agreement. The franchisee is required to pay a deposit of RMB 30,000 at the signing of the agreement, which is used as payment for future purchases and is deferred on the Company’s balance sheet as a customer deposit. The franchisee is required to guarantee a minimum purchase amount from the Company during the contract period. The Company has the right to terminate the agreement should the franchisee fail to meet the minimum purchase amounts. The Company provides the franchisee with store images and designs, signage, floor plan product information and training. In addition, the Company will rebate a per square meter subsidy to the franchisee for the store build-out within six months from the agreement date. The franchisee earns 30% of the rebate on its initial purchase from the Company and then at a rate of 5% of each subsequent purchase until fully refunded of its deposit or six months from the agreement date, whichever is earlier. At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had franchising subsidy payable of $179,716 and $179,786, respectively. In accordance with ASC 605-50, as the Company does not receive an identifiable benefit from these rebates, the rebates are recorded as a reduction of revenue on sales to the franchisees.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales consists primarily of material costs, labor costs and related overhead that are directly attributable to the production of the products. Write-down of inventory to the lower of cost or net realizable value is also recorded in the cost of sales.

Shipping and Handling Costs

Shipping and handling costs related to delivery of finished goods are included in selling expenses. During the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, shipping and handling costs were $103,567 and $144,796, respectively.

Advertising

Advertising expenses consist primarily of costs of promotion and marketing for the Company’s image and products, and costs of direct advertising. The Company expenses all advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expense was $97,363 and $56,908 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

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, warrants and stock options 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 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 earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2013		2012
	(Unaudited)		(Unaudited)
Net income	$	1,178,467	$	978,662
Weighted average shares outstanding – basic		18,536,699		18,377,031
Effect of dilutive securities:
Unexercised warrants		101,584		314,219
Weighted average shares outstanding – diluted		18,638,283		18,691,250
Earnings (loss) per share – basic	$	0.06	$	0.05
Earnings (loss) per share – diluted	$	0.06	$	0.05

At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had no options to purchase shares of common stock outstanding and warrants to purchase 980,306 and 983,280 shares of common stock were outstanding and exercisable, respectively.  For the three months ended March 31, 2013, 155,100 shares purchasable under the warrants were excluded from EPS as their effects were anti-dilutive, respectively.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist primarily of accounts 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.

Two major customers accounted for 30% (20% and 10% for each) and 37% (22% and 15% for each) of the Company’s sales for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Accounts receivable from these customers amounted to $5,166,576 and $4,927,157 as of March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The Company purchased its products from five major vendors accounting for 70% (17%, 14%, 15%, 12%, and 12% for each) during the three months ended March 31, 2013, and from one major vendor accounting for 10% of the purchases during the three months ended March 31, 2012, respectively. Accounts payable to these vendors were $1,368,065 and $2,242,851 as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

The operations of the Company are located principally in China and the US. Accordingly, the Company’s Chinese subsidiaries' business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environments in China, as well as by the general state of the PRC economy.

The Company’s operations in the PRC are subject to specific considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environments in China and foreign currency exchange. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in PRC government policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.

The Company’s sales, purchase and expense transactions in China and Macao are denominated in Chinese Yuan Renminbi (“RMB”) and Macau Pataca (“MOP”) (prior to 2011), respectively, and all of the assets and liabilities of the Company’s subsidiaries in China and Macao are also denominated in RMB and MOP (prior to 2011), respectively. The RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currencies under the current law. In China, foreign exchange transactions are required by law to be transacted only by authorized financial institutions. Remittances in currencies other than RMB may require certain supporting documentation in order to affect the remittance.

Statement of Cash Flows

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 230, “Statement of Cash Flows,” cash flows from the Company’s operations is calculated based upon local currencies. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows may not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Some of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and short-term debt, have carrying amounts that approximate their fair values due to their short maturities. 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 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.

The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under ASC Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,” and ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.”

Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions

The consolidated financial statements are presented in USD. The functional currency of Nova LifeStyle, Nova Furniture, Nova Macao and Diamond Bar is the United States Dollar (“$” or “USD”). The functional currency of Nova Dongguan and Nova Museum is RMB. The functional currencies of the Company’s foreign operations are translated into USD for balance sheet accounts using the current exchange rates in effect as of the balance sheet date and for revenue and expense accounts using the weighted-average exchange rate during the fiscal year. The translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of stockholders’ equity, captioned “Accumulated other comprehensive income.” Gains and losses resulting from transactions denominated in foreign currencies are included in “Other income (expenses)” in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. There have been no significant fluctuations in the exchange rate for the conversion of RMB to USD after the balance sheet date.

The RMB to USD exchange rates in effect as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, were RMB6.2689 = USD$1.00 and RMB6.2855 = USD$1.00, respectively. The weighted-average RMB to USD exchange rates in effect for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, were RMB6.2785 = USD$1.00 and RMB6.3074 = USD$1.00, respectively. The exchange rates used in translation from RMB to USD were published by the People’s Bank of the People’s Republic of China.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

The Company follows FASB ASC 220 “Reporting Comprehensive Income.” Comprehensive income is comprised of net income and all changes to the consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity, except those due to investments by stockholders, changes in paid-in capital and distributions to stockholders. Comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 included net income and foreign currency translation adjustments. 

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 management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. 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, manufacture and sale of furniture. All of the Company’s long-lived assets for production are located at its facilities in Dongguan, Guangdong Province, China, and operate within the same environmental, safety and quality regulations governing furniture manufacturers. The Company established Nova Macao, and acquired Diamond Bar for the purpose of marketing and selling the Company’s products. As a result, management views the business and operations of Nova Dongguan, Nova Macao and Diamond Bar as a blended gross margin when determining future growth, return on investment and cash flows. Nova Museum, a non-profit organization engaged principally in the promotion and dissemination of the culture and history of furniture in China, has no operations or substantial assets other than its decorations and renovation, and its heritage and cultural assets are for the purpose of exhibition only.

Accordingly, management concluded that the Company had one reportable segment under ASC 280 because: (i) the Company’s products sold through Nova Dongguan, Nova Macao and Diamond Bar are created with similar production processes, in the same facilities, under the same regulatory environment and sold to similar customers using similar distribution systems; (ii) Diamond Bar is a U.S. furniture distributor based in California but operates under the same senior management of Nova Dongguan and Nova Macao, and managementviews the operations of Nova Dongguan, Nova Macao and Diamond Bar as a whole for making business decisions; and (iii) although Nova Museum is principally engaged in the dissemination of the culture and history of furniture in China, it also serves a function of promoting and marketing the Company’s image and products by providing a platform and channel for consumers to be exposed to the Company and its products, it is operated under the same management with the same resources and in the same location as Nova Dongguan, and it is an additive and supplemental unit to the Company’s main operations, the manufacture and sale of furniture.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-2, Comprehensive Income (ASC Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, the new ASU requires entities to disclose in a single location (either on the face of the financial statement that reports net income or in the notes) the effects of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI). For items reclassified out of AOCI and into net income in their entirety, entities must disclose the effect of the reclassification on each affected net income item. For AOCI reclassification items that are not reclassified in their entirety into net income, entities must provide a cross-reference to other required U.S. GAAP disclosures. There is no change in the requirement to present the components of net income and other comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement or two separate consecutive statements. The ASU does not change the items currently reported in other comprehensive income.

For public entities, the new disclosure requirements are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012, and interim periods within those years (i.e., the first quarter of 2013 for entities with calendar year-ends). The ASU applies prospectively, and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

As of March 31, 2013, there is no recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted that would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Intangible Assets Disclosure [Text Block]

Note 7 - Intangible Assets

Intangible assets consisted of land use right, trademark and customer relationship. All land in the PRC is government-owned and the ownership cannot be sold to any individual or company. However, the government grants the user a right to use the land (“land use right”). The Company acquired the right to use land in Dongguan, Guangdong Province, China, in 2004 for 50 years and is amortizing such rights on a straight-line basis for 50 years.

At February 28, 2012, the Company acquired another land use right for $536,193 (RMB3.4 million) with useful life of 50 years and is amortizing such right on a straight-line basis for 50 years. As of December 31, 2012, the Company paid in full for this land use right.  In addition, the Company is required to pay an annual fee at $240 per MU (total 17.97 MU for the land) from the second year after commencement of the land filling for 60 years for a total of approximately $333,000 (RMB 2.1 million). The payment will be made annually with a 5% increase every 5 years. The Company will record such fees on a straight-line basis in future periods.

The Company acquired a customer relationship with a fair value of $50,000 on August 31, 2011, as part of its acquisition of Diamond Bar. Concurrently with its acquisition of Diamond Bar, the Company entered into a trademark purchase and assignment agreement for all rights, title and interest in two trademarks (Diamond Sofa and Diamond Furniture) for $200,000 paid in full at the closing. Amortization of customer relationship and trademark is provided using the straight-line method and estimated lives were 10 and 5 years, respectively.

Intangible assets consisted of the following at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012:

	March 31,			December 31,
	2013			2012
	(Unaudited)
Land use right	$	1,117,483		$	1,114,532

Amortization of intangible assets was $36,829 and $2,738 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Annual amortization expense is expected to be approximately $65,510 for each year from 2014 to 2016, and expected to be approximately $64,260 and $20,510 in 2017 and 2018, respectively.

Statutory Reserves [Text Block]

Note 16 - Statutory Reserves

As a U.S. holding company, the Company’s ability to pay dividends is primarily dependent on the Company receiving distributions of funds from its subsidiaries. Relevant PRC statutory laws and regulations permit payments of dividends by the Company’s PRC subsidiaries, Nova Dongguan and Nova Macao, only out of the subsidiary’s retained earnings, if any, as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. The results of operations reflected in the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP differ from those reflected in the statutory financial statements of the Company’s PRC subsidiaries. Pursuant to the corporate laws of the PRC and Macao, including the PRC Regulations on Enterprises with Foreign Investment, Nova Dongguan and Nova Macao are only required to maintain one statutory reserve by appropriating from after-tax profit before declaration or payment of dividends. The statutory reserve represents restricted retained earnings. As a result of the PRC laws and regulations described below that require such annual appropriations of 10% of after-tax income to be set aside prior to payment of dividends as a general statutory reserve fund, the Company’s PRC subsidiaries are restricted in their ability to transfer a portion of their net assets to the Company as a dividend.

Surplus Reserve Fund

Nova Dongguan and Nova Macao are required to transfer 10% of net income, as determined under PRC accounting rules and regulations, to a statutory surplus reserve fund until such reserve balance reaches 50% of the subsidiary’s registered capital. The surplus reserve fund is non-distributable other than during liquidation and can be used to fund previous years’ losses, if any, and may be utilized for business expansion or converted into share capital by issuing new shares to existing shareholders in proportion to their shareholdings or by increasing the par value of the shares currently held by them, provided that the remaining reserve balance after such issuance is not less than 25% of the registered capital.

At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, Nova Macao had surplus reserves of $6,241, representing 50% of its registered capital. Nova Dongguan did not make any transfer to surplus reserves due to its accumulated deficit.

Common Welfare Fund

The common welfare fund is a voluntary fund to which Nova Dongguan and Nova Macao can each elect to transfer 5% to 10% of its net income. This fund can only be utilized on capital items for the collective benefit of the subsidiary’s employees, such as construction of dormitories, cafeteria facilities, and other staff welfare facilities. This fund is non-distributable other than upon liquidation. Nova Dongguan and Nova Macao do not participate in this voluntary fund.
