NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2014 AND 2013 (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.

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 9,682,616 shares were issued to Nova Holdings and 2,235,000 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. St. Joyal has paid in full in April 2014.

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.

6

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.

On April 24, 2013, Nova LifeStyle completed the acquisition of Bright Swallow International Group Limited, a British Virgin Island corporation (the “BSI” or “Bright Swallow”), Nova Lifestyle acquired all the outstanding capital stock of Bright Swallow for $6.5 million paid in full at the closing pursuant to a stock purchase agreement entered into with the sole shareholder of Bright Swallow. Bright Swallow is engaged in export of sofas to overseas customers.

On October 21, 2013, Nova Dongguan incorporated Dongguan Ding Nuo Household Products Co., Ltd. (“Ding Nuo”) under the laws of the PRC and contributed capital of RMB 1 million ($162,994). Nova Dongguan made an additional capital contribution of RMB 0.1 million ($16,305) on November 27, 2013 through one of Nova Dongguan’s officer who acts as the nominee shareholder of Ding Nuo. All of the nominee shareholder’s shares were put in escrow and trust with Nova Dongguan and all profits and loss of Ding Nuo will be distributed to Nova Dongguan; accordingly, Nova Dongguan effectively controls 100% of Ding Nuo.  Ding Nuo was established mainly for engaging in business with IKEA.

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

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted 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 June 30, 2014 and for the six and three month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 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, 2013, previously filed with the SEC on March 31, 2014.

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 June 30, 2014, its interim condensed consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the six and three month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, 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, goodwill and warrant derivative liability. 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 June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company concluded there was no impairment of goodwill of Diamond Bar.

On April 24, 2013, Nova LifeStyle completed the acquisition of Bright Swallow.  Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total purchase is allocated to tangible assets and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values with the excess charged to goodwill. Nova Lifestyle recognized $808,518 goodwill from the acquisition. As of December 31, 2013, the Company first assessed qualitative factors and determined it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill.  The Company then performed the first step of the two-step goodwill impairment test.  The Company completed the step one analysis using discounted cash flow. The DCF method uses revenue and expense projections and risk-adjusted discount rates. The process of determining fair value is subjective and requires management to exercise a significant amount of judgment in determining future growth rates, discount and tax rates and other factors. The results of the step one analysis indicated there was no impairment of goodwill of Bright Swallow at December 31, 2013. As of June 30, 2014, the Company performed an interim goodwill impairment assessment for Bright Swallow based on Bright Swallow’s actual performance for the 1st six-months of 2014 and updated revenue and expense projections. Based on this analysis, the Company concluded that the goodwill of $0.81 million for Bright Swallow was impaired as of June 30, 2014. The goodwill impairment charge is non-cash. The goodwill impairment charge is not deductible for income tax purposes and, therefore, the Company has not recorded a corresponding tax benefit in 2014.

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 $316,004 and $280,055 as allowance for bad debts as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, 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 June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

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 June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there were no significant impairments of its long-lived assets except the disposal of damaged equipment, furniture and fixture and recognized a loss from disposal of $22,526 during the six and three months ended June 30, 2014.

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 $564,874 and $189,127 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively; $326,529 and $102,375 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, 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 15.57% for the period ended June 30, 2014 differs from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate primarily as a result of a tax benefit from the tax-exemption status of Nova Macao and non-taxable income from change in fair value of warrant liability from Nova Lifestyle offset by tax liability reserves from uncertain tax positions.

Nova Lifestyle, Inc. and Diamond Bar Outdoors, Inc. (“Diamond Bar”) are subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes. Nova Furniture BVI and Bright Swallow International Group Limited (“BSI”) were 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 and BSI are domiciled.

Nova Dongguan, Nova Museum, and Ding Nuo 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; however, Nova Museum did not apply for the tax-exempt status yet as of June 30, 2014.  Nova Macao is an income tax-exempt entity incorporated and domiciled in Macao.

During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded income tax expense of approximately $674,000 and $413,000 respectively. During the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded income tax expense of approximately $501,000 and $237,000 respectively.

As of June 30, 2014, unrecognized tax benefits were approximately $5.2 million.  The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective tax rate was $5.2 million as of June 30, 2014. As of June 30, 2013, unrecognized tax benefits were approximately $4.6 million.  The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective tax rate was $4.6 million as of June 30, 2013.

A reconciliation of the January 1, 2014, through June 30, 2014, amount of unrecognized tax benefits excluding interest and penalties ("Gross UTB") is as follows:

	Gross UTB
Beginning Balance – January 1, 2014		4,927,431
Increase in unrecorded tax benefits taken in the six months ending June 30, 2014		277,523
Exchange rate adjustment – 2014		(19,499	)
Ending Balance – June 30, 2014	$	5,185,455

At June 30, 2014, the Company had cumulatively accrued approximately $1,231,000 for estimated interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits. At December 31, 2013, the Company had cumulatively accrued approximately $1,017,000 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 $214,000 and $203,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014, and 2013, respectively; and totaled approximately $108,000 and $122,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014, and 2013, respectively. The Company does not anticipate any significant changes to its unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months.

Nova Dongguan and Ding Nuo are 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 2009. With a few exceptions, the tax years 2009-2013 remain open to examination by tax authorities in the PRC; the tax years 2011-2013 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 June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had franchising subsidy payable of $148,307 and $149,667, respectively, and was included in other payables. 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 finished goods purchased from other manufacturers, 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 six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, shipping and handling costs were $301,740 and $258,430, respectively; during the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, shipping and handling costs were $184,268 and 154,863, 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 $122,948 and $115,316 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively; and $18,025 and 17,953 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, 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 six and three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013:

	Six Months Ended June 30,				Three Months Ended June 30,
	2014		2013		2014		2013
Net income	$	3,656,207	$	2,365,547		3,352,655		1,187,080
Weighted average shares outstanding – basic		19,879,336		18,649,161		20,404,360		18,760,387
Effect of dilutive securities:
Unexercised warrants		157,060		253,712		104,076		306,909
Weighted average shares outstanding – diluted		20,036,396		18,902,873		20,508,436		19,067,296
Earnings per share – basic	$	0.18	$	0.13		0.16		0.06
Earnings per share – diluted	$	0.18	$	0.13		0.16		0.06

At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had no options to purchase shares of common stock outstanding and warrants to purchase 2,017,780 and 522,473 shares of common stock were outstanding and exercisable, respectively.  For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, 1,696,540 and 155,100 shares purchasable under the warrants were excluded from EPS as their effects were anti-dilutive.  For the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, 1,696,540 and 155,100 shares purchasable under the warrants were excluded from EPS as their effects were anti-dilutive.

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.

One major customer accounted for 10% of the Company’s sales for the six months ended June 30, 2014, and two major customers accounted for 30% (18% and 12% for each) of the Company’s sales for the six months ended June 30, 2013.  One major customer accounted for 11% of the Company’s sales for the three months ended June 30, 2014, and two major customers accounted for 29% (16% and 13% for each) of the Company’s sales for the three months ended June 30, 2013. Accounts receivable from these customers amounted to $1,754,605 and $1,574,675 as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

The Company purchased its products from four major vendors during the six months ended June 30, 2014, and from three major vendors during the six months ended June 30, 2013, accounting for 64% (22%, 16%, 15% and 11% for each) and 34% (14%, 10% and 10% for each) of the purchases, respectively. Four vendors accounted for 68% of the purchases during the three months ended June 30, 2014 (25%, 16%, 15% and 12%, respectively) and one major vendor accounted for 13% of the purchases during the three months ended June 30, 2013. Accounts payable to these vendors were $3,181,776 and $2,881,672 as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, 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 are denominated in Chinese Yuan Renminbi (“RMB”), and all of the assets and liabilities of the Company’s subsidiaries in China are also denominated in RMB. 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.”

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

12

The carrying value of the warrant liability is determined using the Binomial Lattice option pricing model as described in Note 15. Certain assumptions used in the calculation of the warrant liability represent level-3 unobservable inputs. The Company did not have any assets or liabilities categorized as Level 1 or 2 as of June 30, 2014.

The following table summarizes the activity of Level 3 inputs measured on a recurring basis:

Fair Value Measurements of Common Stock Warrants Using Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)

	Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2014
Issuance of Series A, B and C Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants on April 14 and April 17, 2014, respectively.	$	5,659,866
Adjustment resulting from change in value recognized in earnings (a)		(2,210,913	)
Reclassification to equity upon exercise
Balance at June 30, 2014,	$	3,448,953

(a)  Adjustment resulting from change in fair value is the amount of total gains or losses for the period attributable to the change in unrealized gains or losses relating to liabilities held at the reporting date. The unrealized gain or loss is recorded in change in fair value of warrant liability in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions

The consolidated financial statements are presented in USD. The functional currency of Nova LifeStyle, Nova Furniture, Nova Macao, Bright Swallow and Diamond Bar is the United States Dollar (“$” or “USD”). The functional currency of Nova Dongguan, Nova Museum and Ding Nuo 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 June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, were RMB6.1528 = USD$1.00 and RMB6.0969 = USD$1.00, respectively. The weighted-average RMB to USD exchange rates in effect for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, were RMB6.1180 = USD$1.00 and RMB6.2413 = 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

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 six and three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 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 Ding Nuo, and acquired Diamond Bar and Bright Swallow 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, Diamond Bar, Bright Swallow and Ding Nuo 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.

13

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 Ding Nuo are created with similar production processes, in the same facilities, under the same regulatory environment and sold to customers using similar distribution systems; (ii) Diamond Bar is a furniture distributor based in California focusing customers in US, and Bright Swallow is a furniture distributor based in Hong Kong focusing customers in Canada, they both are operated under the same senior management of Nova Dongguan and Nova Macao, and managementviews the operations of Nova Dongguan, Nova Macao, Diamond Bar, Bright Swallow and Ding Nuo 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 July 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-11, “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carry-forward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carry-forward Exists.” The amendments in this ASU are to improve the current U.S. GAAP because they are expected to reduce diversity in practice by providing guidance on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits and will better reflect the manner in which an entity would settle at the reporting date any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position when net operating loss carry-forwards, similar tax losses, or tax credit carry-forwards exist. Current U.S. GAAP does not include explicit guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carry-forward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carry-forward exists. This Update applies to all entities that have unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carry-forward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carry-forward exists at the reporting date. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date. Retrospective application is permitted.

As of June 30, 2014, the adoption of ASU 2013-11 did not have an impact on our statement of operations but did impacted our balance sheet classification, with a decrease in long-term deferred tax assets and a corresponding decrease in long term income tax payable by approximately $55,000.

The FASB has issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This ASU supercedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification 605 - Revenue Recognition and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Codification. The standard requires that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU is effective on January 1, 2017 and should be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the ASU recognized at the date of initial application.  The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial position and results of operations.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") has issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-12, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period. This ASU requires that a performance target that affects vesting, and that could be achieved after the requisite service period, be treated as a performance condition. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant date fair value of the award. This update further clarifies that compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered.. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Earlier adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Note 3 - Inventories

Note 4 – Advance to suppliers

As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had advance to suppliers of $7,964,419 and $3,353,100, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company made certain advance payments to one of its suppliers totaling $5,000,000 to secure a favorable pricing structure on purchase orders submitted. As a result of production delays, on July 1, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement with this supplier to charge interest on these advances at an annual rate of 4.75% with maturity on March 31, 2015. Interest is to be paid monthly. Shipments received from the supplier will be credited against the advance payments.  The supplier has the option to repay the short-term advances for any product that it will not be able to deliver at any time. Initial shipments against these purchase orders was received by the Company in July 2014.

Note 5 - Heritage and Cultural Assets

As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, Nova Museum had heritage and cultural assets of $131,785 and $132,993, consisting principally of collectibles and antiques for exhibition. Depreciation is not required to be provided on heritage assets that have indefinite lives and no reduction in their value with the passage of time; however, the carrying amount of the heritage and cultural assets will be reviewed when there is evidence of impairment in accordance with ASC 360-10.

Note 6 - Plant, Property and Equipment, Net

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 June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, 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.

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 or 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, starting from April 2013, includes Bright Swallow International Group Limited (Bright Swallow).

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 furnishings products 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, an established furniture company with a Canadian client base was finalized on April 24, 2013, and all issued and outstanding shares of Bright Swallow have been transferred to Nova by Bright Swallow's previous sole owner Mr. Zhu Wei, as that purchase has become an integral part of the Nova LifeStyle brand family. The purchase price for the acquisition was $6.5 million in cash and was fully paid at the closing of the acquisition. Bright Swallow’s complementary product line and geographical reach will offer Nova LifeStyle an ideal opportunity to expand its overall global market presence.  Bright Swallow’s current client, 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.  Bright Swallow is a British Virgin Island company with its principal offices  in Hong Kong.  

On October 21, 2013, Nova Dongguan incorporated Dongguan Ding Nuo Household Products Co., Ltd. (“Ding Nuo”) under the laws of the PRC and contributed capital of RMB 1 million ($162,994). Nova Dongguan made an additional capital contribution of RMB 0.1 million ($16,305) on November 27, 2013 through one of Nova Dongguan’s officers who acts as the nominee shareholder of Ding Nuo. All of the nominee shareholder’s shares were put in escrow and trust with Nova Dongguan and all profits and losses of Ding Nuo will be distributed to Nova Dongguan; accordingly, Nova Dongguan effectively controls 100% of Ding Nuo.  Ding Nuo was established mainly for engaging in business with IKEA.

Our experience developing and marketing products for international markets has enabled us to develop the scale, logistics, marketing, manufacturing efficiencies and design expertise that serve as the foundation for us to expand aggressively into the highly attractive U.S., Canada 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, Nova Furniture, Bright Swallow, Diamond Bar and Ding Nuo, with each of Nova Museum and Ding Nuo a wholly owned subsidiary of Nova Dongguan. Nova Furniture (Dongguan) Co., Ltd. (“Nova Dongguan”) is a wholly foreign owned enterprise (“WFOE”) and was incorporated under the laws of the PRC on June 6, 2003. Nova Furniture Macao Commercial Offshore Limited (“Nova Macao”),was organized under the laws of Macao on May 20, 2006. Nova Dongguan organized Nova Dongguan Chinese Style Furniture Museum (“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 Limited (“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 Outdoors, Inc. (“Diamond Bar”), is a California corporation organized on June 15, 2000, which we acquired pursuant to a stock purchase agreement on August 31, 2011.  On April 24, 2013, we acquired all of the outstanding stock of Bright Swallow; the purchase price was $6.5 million in cash and was fully paid at the closing of the acquisition.  In 2013, we formed Ding Nuo as a new subsidiary, which is held 90.91% by Nova Furniture and 9.09% by Mr. Gu XingChang, as described above.

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.  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. Newly-acquired Bright Swallow sells products manufactured by third party manufacturers through The Brick Limited which is principally in the Canadian market. Newly organized Ding Nuo is primarily engaged in conducting business with IKEA. We added a factory in 2011 and completed 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, our existing credit facilities, and any possible equity financing.

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., Canada, 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, acquiring Bright Swallow for the Canadian market and establishing Ding Nuo for doing business with IKEA. 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 North America 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.

23

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, Bright Swallow, Nova Furniture, Nova Dongguan, Nova Macao, Nova Museum and Ding Nuo.

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, goodwill and warrant derivative liability. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

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 $316,004 and $280,055 as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, 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, Nova Museum and Ding Nuo, 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.

24

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 Ding Nuo, and acquired Diamond Bar and Bright Swallow 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, Diamond Bar, Bright Swallow and Ding Nuo 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 Ding Nuo are created with similar production processes, in the same facilities, under the same regulatory environment and sold to customers using similar distribution systems; (ii) Diamond Bar is a furniture distributor based in California focusing on customers in US, and Bright Swallow is a furniture distributor based in Hong Kong focusing on customers in Canada, they both are operated under the same senior management of Nova Dongguan and Nova Macao, and managementviews the operations of Nova Dongguan, Nova Macao, Diamond Bar, Bright Swallow and Ding Nuo 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 July 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-11, “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carry-forward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carry-forward Exists.” The amendments in this ASU are to improve the current U.S. GAAP because they are expected to reduce diversity in practice by providing guidance on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits and will better reflect the manner in which an entity would settle at the reporting date any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position when net operating loss carry-forwards, similar tax losses, or tax credit carry-forwards exist. Current U.S. GAAP does not include explicit guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carry-forward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carry-forward exists. This Update applies to all entities that have unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carry-forward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carry-forward exists at the reporting date. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date. Retrospective application is permitted.

As of June 30, 2014, the adoption of ASU 2013-11 did not have an impact on our statement of operations but did impact our balance sheet classification, with a decrease in long-term deferred tax assets and a corresponding decrease in long term income tax payable of approximately $55,000.

The FASB has issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This ASU supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification 605 - Revenue Recognition and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Codification. The standard requires that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU is effective on January 1, 2017 and should be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the ASU recognized at the date of initial application.  The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial position and results of operations.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") has issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-12, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period. This ASU requires that a performance target that affects vesting, and that could be achieved after the requisite service period, be treated as a performance condition. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant date fair value of the award. This update further clarifies that compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered.. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Earlier adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Results of Operations

Comparison of three months Ended June 30, 2014 and 2013

The following table sets forth the results of our operations for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. Certain columns may not add due to rounding.

	Three Months ended June 30,
	2014					2013
	$		% of Sales			$			% of Sales

Net income		3,352,655		13	%		1,187,080			6	%

Net Sales

Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2014 were $25.93 million, an increase of 35% from $19.16 million in the same period of 2013; this increase in net sales resulted primarily from a 67% increase in sales volume due to a 25% decrease in average selling price.   Our overall average selling price decreased approximately 25% in the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to 2013, resulting primarily from increased sales volume of low price products in both the China domestic market and worldwide. Our largest selling product categories in the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 were sofas, cabinets and dining tables, which accounted for approximately 37%, 18% and 17% of sales, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2014, and 37%, 18% and 15% of sales, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2013.

Of the $6.77 million increase in net sales in the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same period of 2013, $6.29 million was attributable to sales in markets other than China, principally as a result of increased sales in North America and Asia, including Hong Kong and other countries. North American sales increased 43% to $14.68 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $10.26 million in the same period of 2013 as we aggressively expanded sales to the U.S. and Canadian markets and integrated the operations of Diamond Bar and newly-acquired Bright Swallow.  As part of our gradual change in sales and marketing strategy starting in 2012, we increased marketing efforts in the U.S. markets while maintaining our marketing efforts and existing customer base in Europe. Sales to Europe were $3.31 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014, a decrease of 11.36% from $3.73 million in the same period of 2013. We anticipate increasing sales and marketing to the European market as the region’s economic outlook improves. Sales to Asia, including Hong Kong, and other countries, increased 229% to $3.28 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $1.00 million in the same period of 2013, primarily due to increase of the sales orders from our major customers in Asia.

Sales to China, which included sales to franchisees in addition to wholesalers and agents to domestic retail stores and distributors for the export market, accounted for 18% of sales in the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to 22% of sales in the same period of 2013. Sales to franchisees selling our branded products in China contributed approximately $0.55 million or 12% of our total China sales in the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $0.64 million or 15% in the same period of 2013. The Company is currently adopting new image standards as well as product lines for its franchise operations that will take time to develop.  First, through our production line, we intend to produce some products made from marble material. Second, we intend to import a range of additional products from the U.S. or Europe. We also intend to enrich our product lines to include Bedroom series, like Beds, Bed side tables, mattresses (which could be imported or purchased in China) and Bedding sets including Bed sheets, pillowcases, quilt covers, and other items (which can be purchased within China). We expect this trend to reverse itself in the near future.  Overall sales to China increased 12% to $4.66 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $4.18 million in the same period of 2013.  

26

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales consists primarily of finished goods purchased from other manufacturers, material costs, labor costs and related overhead directly attributable to the production of our products. Total cost of sales increased 37% to $20.96 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $15.31 million in the same period of 2013 due primarily to an increase in sales and production. Cost of sales for products that we manufactured was $4.88 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014, a 12% increase from $4.36 million in the same period of 2013. Material costs, labor costs and related overhead accounted for 65%, 23% and 12% of cost of sales for such products in the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to 71%, 21% and 8% in the same period of 2013, respectively. The cost of products purchased from third party manufacturers increased 47% to $16.08 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014 from $10.95 million in the same period of 2013. The increase of products purchased from third party manufacturers is primarily due to increased sales orders, which exceeded the company’s current manufacturing capacity, and the purchase of Bright Swallow, which is a furniture wholesale company. Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales was 81% in the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to 80% in the same period of 2013. The increase in cost of sales as a percentage of net sales from the three months ended June 30, 2014 to 2013 resulted primarily from increased cost of products purchased from third party manufacturers.

Gross Profit

Gross profit increased 29% to $4.97 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $3.85 million in the same period of 2013. Our gross profit margin decreased to 19% in the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to 20% in the same period of 2013. 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 a decreased percentage of self-produced products, and increased factory overhead; 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, goodwill impairment and loss on disposal of fixed assets. Operating expenses increased 49% to $3.43 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014 from $2.31 million in the same period of 2013. Selling expense increased 4% to $0.89 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014 from $0.85 million in the same period of 2013 due primarily to increased sales. General and administration expense increased by 17% to $1.71 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014 from $1.46 million in the same period of 2013 due primarily to an increase of amortization expense of Bright Swallow’s customer relationship by $104,200, insurance by $65,600, research and development expenses by $224,500, and salary by $76,700, and a decrease in stock compensation of $159,900.  In addition, the Company performed goodwill impairment tests, and concluded that goodwill of $0.81 million for Bright Swallow was impaired for the three months ended June 30, 2014.

Other Income (Expense)

Other income was $2,310,248 in the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared with other expenses of $120,911 in the same period of 2013, an increase of $2,431,159. The increase in other income was due primarily to change in fair value of warrant liability of $2,210,913, and the subsidy income of $1,500 from Chinese government for encouraging and supporting of the Company’s business expansion, and the insurance compensation of $136,600 for machinery which was damaged during shipping in the three months ended June 30, 2014.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense was $501,801 in the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared with $236,849 in the same period of 2013.  The increase in income tax expense is mainly due to increased taxable income.

Net Income

Net income was $3.35 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of 182% from $1.19 million for the same period of 2013. Our net profit margin was 13% in the three months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of 7% from 6% for 2013, due to the reasons explained above. The increase in profit margin resulted primarily from income from the change in fair value of warrant liability, which is a non-cash and non-taxable income.

Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2014 were $43.82 million, an increase of 28% from $34.16 million in the same period of 2013; this increase in net sales resulted primarily from a 39% increase in sales volume due to a 18% decrease in average selling price.  Our subsidiary Bright Swallow, which was acquired in April 2013, contributed $4.39 million to sales for the six months ended June 30, 2014 while it only brought us $1.33 million for the same period of 2013.  Our overall average selling price decreased approximately 18% in the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to 2013, resulting primarily from increased sales volume of low price products in both the China domestic market and worldwide. Our largest selling product categories in the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 were sofas, cabinets and dining tables, which accounted for approximately 37%, 18% and 16% of sales, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2014, and 35%, 19% and 18% of sales, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Of the $9.66 million increase in net sales in the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same period of 2013, $9.32 million was attributable to sales in markets other than China, principally as a result of increased sales in North America and Asia, including Hong Kong and other countries. North American sales increased 43% to $25.92 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $18.14 million in the same period of 2013 as we aggressively expanded sales to the U.S. and Canadian markets and integrated the operations of Diamond Bar and newly-acquired Bright Swallow.  As part of our gradual change in sales and marketing strategy starting in 2012, we increased marketing efforts in the U.S. markets while maintaining our marketing efforts and existing customer base in Europe. Sales to Europe were $6.22 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014, a decrease of 11.21% from $7.00 million in the same period of 2013. We anticipate increasing sales and marketing to the European market as the region’s economic outlook improves. Sales to Asia, including Hong Kong, and other countries, increased 143% to $3.95 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $1.62 million in the same period of 2013, primarily due to the increase of sales orders from our major customers in Asia.

Sales to China, which included sales to franchisees in addition to wholesalers and agents to domestic retail stores and distributors for the export market, accounted for 18% of sales in the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to 22% of sales in the same period of 2013. Sales to franchisees selling our branded products in China contributed approximately $1.13 million or 15% of our total China sales in the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $1.19 million or 16% in the same period of 2013. The Company is currently adopting new image standards as well as product lines for its franchise operations that will take time to develop.  First, through our production line, we intend to produce some products made from marble material. Second, we intend to import a range of additional products from the U.S. or Europe. We also intend to enrich our product lines to include Bedroom series, like Beds, Bed side tables, mattresses (which could be imported or purchased in China) and Bedding sets including Bed sheets, pillowcases, quilt covers, and other items (which can be purchased within China). We expect this trend to reverse itself in the near future.  Overall sales to China increased 5% to $7.74 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $7.40 million in the same period of 2013.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales consists primarily of finished goods purchased from other manufacturers, material costs, labor costs and related overhead directly attributable to the production of our products. Total cost of sales increased 32% to $35.59 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $27.06 million in the same period of 2013 due primarily to an increase in sales and production. Cost of sales for products that we manufactured was $8.47 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014, an 18% increase from $7.15 million in the same period of 2013. Material costs, labor costs and related overhead accounted for 66%, 21% and 13% of cost of sales for such products in the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to 69%, 22% and 9% in the same period of 2013, respectively. The cost of products purchased from third party manufacturers increased 36% to $27.12 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $19.91 million in the same period of 2013. The increase of products purchased from third party manufacturers is primarily due to increased sales orders, which exceeded the company’s current manufacturing capacity, and purchase of Bright Swallow, which is a furniture wholesale company. Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales was 81% in the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to 79% in the same period of 2013. The increase in cost of sales as a percentage of net sales from the six months ended June 30, 2014 to 2013 resulted primarily from increased cost of products purchased from third party manufacturers.

Gross Profit

Gross profit increased 15.86% to $8.22 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $7.10 million in the same period of 2013. Our gross profit margin decreased to 19% in the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to 21% in the same period of 2013. 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 a decreased percentage of self-produced products, and increased factory overhead, 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, goodwill impairment and loss on disposal of fixed assets. Operating expenses increased 50% to $6.13 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $4.07 million in the same period of 2013. Selling expense increased 3% to $1.62 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $1.57 million in the same period of 2013 due primarily to increased sales. General and administrative expense increased by 47% to $3.67 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $2.50 million in the same period of 2013 due primarily to an increase of salary by $140,900, depreciation expense of additions of fixed assets by $181,800, research and development expenses by $375,700, auditor fees by $71,000, attorney fees by $64,500, independent director fees by $37,400, consulting fees by $106,800, insurance by $149,000, license fees related to listing on Nasdaq by $163,000, and warrant expenses by $76,600.  In addition, the Company performed goodwill impairment tests, and concluded that goodwill of $0.81 million for Bright Swallow was impaired for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Other Income (Expense)

Other income was $2,231,584 in the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared with other expenses of $245,738 in the same period of 2013, an increase of $2,477,322. The increase in other income was due primarily to change in fair value of warrant liability of $2,210,913, and the subsidy income of $50,500 from Chinese government for encouraging and supporting of the Company’s business expansion, and the insurance compensation of $136,600 for machinery which was damaged during shipping in the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense was $674,486 in the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared with $412,903 in the same period of 2013.  The increase in income tax expense is mainly due to increased taxable income.

Net Income

Net income was $3.66 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of 55% from $2.36 million for the same period of 2013. Our net profit margin was 8% in the six months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of 1% from 7% for 2013, due to the reasons explained above. The increase in profit margin resulted primarily from income from the change in fair value of warrant liability, which is a non-cash and non-taxable income.    

29

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal demands for liquidity are to increase sales in the U.S. and China, to 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 internet orders 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. On April 14, 2014, the Company raised approximately $8.14 million after deducting fees to the placement agent of $716,000 and other estimated offering expenses of $115,000 by entering into a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain purchasers in a registered direct offering.

We had net working capital of $29,031,897 at June 30, 2014, an increase of $137,615 from net working capital of $28,894,282 at December 31, 2013. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 2.44-to-1 at June 30, 2014.

The following is a summary of cash provided by or used in each of the indicated types of activities during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013:

	2014			2013
Cash (used in) provided by:
Operating activities	$	(6,066,266	)	$	1,983,907
Investing activities		(2,620,415	)		(3,643,185	)
Financing activities		8,870,519			(173,045	)

Net cash used in operating activities was $6.07 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of cash outflow of $8.05 million or 406% from $1.98 million of cash provided by operating activities in 2013. The increase in cash outflow was attributable primarily to advance payments to one of our suppliers in exchange for the purchase of finished goods inventory at a favorable price ($4.73 million outflow in the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $0.25 million outflow in the same period of 2013), an increase in inventory by stocking more fast-selling products in order to avoid shipment delays ($1.39 million outflow in the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $0.21 million outflow in the same period of 2013), and the provision of longer sales terms on accounts receivable for the Company’s new product lines ($5.22 million outflow in the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $1.23 million cash inflow in the same period of 2013), despite an increase in cash inflow from accounts payable ($1.08 million inflow in the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $1.94 million outflow in the same period of 2013).  

Net cash used in investing activities was $2.62 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014, a decrease of $1.02 million or 28% from $3.64 million in the same period of 2013. In the six months ended June 30, 2014, we paid $1.24 million for the acquisition of property and equipment and $1.39 million for deposits on new plant construction, website and mobile application design. In the same period of 2013, we paid $3.50 million as a deposit for the acquisition of Bright Swallow, $0.11 million for the acquisition of property and equipment, and $0.35 million for construction in progress for Dongguan new plant construction.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $8.87 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $9.04 million or 5,226% from cash outflow of $0.17 million in the same period of 2013. In the six months ended June 30, 2014, we repaid $15.58 million for bank loans, but borrowed $15.12 million from bank loans, and received $0.75 from outstanding subscription receivable, $0.45 million from warrants exercised and $8.14 million from equity financing. In the same period of 2013, we received $3.71 million proceeds from bank loans, but repaid $4.44 million in bank loans, and received $0.55 from warrants exercised.

As of June 30, 2014, we had gross accounts receivable of $33,408,682 of which $24,560,274 was with aging within 90 days, $8,848,408 was with aging over 90 days; we had an allowance for bad debt of $316,004 for accounts receivables. The increase in accounts receivable was primarily due to increase of sales during the three months ended June 30, 2014.

30

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 each 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 we used in 2011, and our current product franchise agreement requires payment in full before delivery for most franchise customers, but provides 60 – 90 day credit terms to certain major and long-term customers.

Sales to international markets typically are made through letters of credit, but for some long-term, high volume customers, we accept telegraphic transfer, or T/T, with a payment term of 15-30 days upon receipt of the products. Historically, we have not experienced bad debts from our sales to international markets. Our accounts receivable related to sales to international markets, including the Canadian market through Bright Swallow’s sales, 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 terms to our major customers in the international markets takes effect along with our new payment terms for franchisees.

Diamond Bar gives 30-60 day payment terms to customers who are approved for AR coverage by our credit insurance company. In most cases, Diamond Bar provides 30 day payment terms to most of the customers and 60 day payment terms for certain big customers with outstanding payment histories.  Diamond Bar requires prepayment or COD for customers who are not approved by our credit insurance company.  As a result of this policy, management expects accounts receivable outstanding from sales in the US and China to decrease correspondingly going forward.

Private Placement

On April 14, 2014, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain purchasers pursuant to which the Company sold to the Buyers, in a registered direct offering, an aggregate of 1,320,059 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, at a negotiated purchase price of $6.78 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $8.95 million.

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 June 30, 2014, 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 June 30, 2014, we have identified certain matters that constituted a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. Specifically, we lack sufficient accounting personnel with the appropriate level of knowledge, experience and training in U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting requirements.  

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 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 June 30, 2014, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

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, 2013, previously filed with the SEC on March 31, 2014.

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 June 30, 2014, its interim condensed consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the six and three month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, 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, goodwill and warrant derivative liability. 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 June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company concluded there was no impairment of goodwill of Diamond Bar.

On April 24, 2013, Nova LifeStyle completed the acquisition of Bright Swallow.  Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total purchase is allocated to tangible assets and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values with the excess charged to goodwill. Nova Lifestyle recognized $808,518 goodwill from the acquisition. As of December 31, 2013, the Company first assessed qualitative factors and determined it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill.  The Company then performed the first step of the two-step goodwill impairment test.  The Company completed the step one analysis using discounted cash flow. The DCF method uses revenue and expense projections and risk-adjusted discount rates. The process of determining fair value is subjective and requires management to exercise a significant amount of judgment in determining future growth rates, discount and tax rates and other factors. The results of the step one analysis indicated there was no impairment of goodwill of Bright Swallow at December 31, 2013. As of June 30, 2014, the Company performed an interim goodwill impairment assessment for Bright Swallow based on Bright Swallow’s actual performance for the 1st six-months of 2014 and updated revenue and expense projections. Based on this analysis, the Company concluded that the goodwill of $0.81 million for Bright Swallow was impaired as of June 30, 2014. The goodwill impairment charge is non-cash. The goodwill impairment charge is not deductible for income tax purposes and, therefore, the Company has not recorded a corresponding tax benefit in 2014.

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.

Receivables, Trade and Other Accounts Receivable, Allowance for Doubtful Accounts, 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 $316,004 and $280,055 as allowance for bad debts as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, 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 June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

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 June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there were no significant impairments of its long-lived assets except the disposal of damaged equipment, furniture and fixture and recognized a loss from disposal of $22,526 during the six and three months ended June 30, 2014.

Research and Development Expense, Policy [Policy Text Block]

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 $564,874 and $189,127 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively; $326,529 and $102,375 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, 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 15.57% for the period ended June 30, 2014 differs from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate primarily as a result of a tax benefit from the tax-exemption status of Nova Macao and non-taxable income from change in fair value of warrant liability from Nova Lifestyle offset by tax liability reserves from uncertain tax positions.

Nova Lifestyle, Inc. and Diamond Bar Outdoors, Inc. (“Diamond Bar”) are subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes. Nova Furniture BVI and Bright Swallow International Group Limited (“BSI”) were 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 and BSI are domiciled.

Nova Dongguan, Nova Museum, and Ding Nuo 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; however, Nova Museum did not apply for the tax-exempt status yet as of June 30, 2014.  Nova Macao is an income tax-exempt entity incorporated and domiciled in Macao.

During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded income tax expense of approximately $674,000 and $413,000 respectively. During the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded income tax expense of approximately $501,000 and $237,000 respectively.

As of June 30, 2014, unrecognized tax benefits were approximately $5.2 million.  The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective tax rate was $5.2 million as of June 30, 2014. As of June 30, 2013, unrecognized tax benefits were approximately $4.6 million.  The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective tax rate was $4.6 million as of June 30, 2013.

A reconciliation of the January 1, 2014, through June 30, 2014, amount of unrecognized tax benefits excluding interest and penalties ("Gross UTB") is as follows:

	Gross UTB
Beginning Balance – January 1, 2014		4,927,431
Increase in unrecorded tax benefits taken in the six months ending June 30, 2014		277,523
Exchange rate adjustment – 2014		(19,499	)
Ending Balance – June 30, 2014	$	5,185,455

At June 30, 2014, the Company had cumulatively accrued approximately $1,231,000 for estimated interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits. At December 31, 2013, the Company had cumulatively accrued approximately $1,017,000 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 $214,000 and $203,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014, and 2013, respectively; and totaled approximately $108,000 and $122,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014, and 2013, respectively. The Company does not anticipate any significant changes to its unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months.

Nova Dongguan and Ding Nuo are 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 2009. With a few exceptions, the tax years 2009-2013 remain open to examination by tax authorities in the PRC; the tax years 2011-2013 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.

Revenue Recognition, Services, Franchise Fees [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 June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had franchising subsidy payable of $148,307 and $149,667, respectively, and was included in other payables. 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 finished goods purchased from other manufacturers, 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 six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, shipping and handling costs were $301,740 and $258,430, respectively; during the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, shipping and handling costs were $184,268 and 154,863, 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 $122,948 and $115,316 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively; and $18,025 and 17,953 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, 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 six and three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013:

	Six Months Ended June 30,				Three Months Ended June 30,
	2014		2013		2014		2013
Net income	$	3,656,207	$	2,365,547		3,352,655		1,187,080
Weighted average shares outstanding – basic		19,879,336		18,649,161		20,404,360		18,760,387
Effect of dilutive securities:
Unexercised warrants		157,060		253,712		104,076		306,909
Weighted average shares outstanding – diluted		20,036,396		18,902,873		20,508,436		19,067,296
Earnings per share – basic	$	0.18	$	0.13		0.16		0.06
Earnings per share – diluted	$	0.18	$	0.13		0.16		0.06

At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had no options to purchase shares of common stock outstanding and warrants to purchase 2,017,780 and 522,473 shares of common stock were outstanding and exercisable, respectively.  For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, 1,696,540 and 155,100 shares purchasable under the warrants were excluded from EPS as their effects were anti-dilutive.  For the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, 1,696,540 and 155,100 shares purchasable under the warrants were excluded from EPS as their effects were anti-dilutive.

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.

One major customer accounted for 10% of the Company’s sales for the six months ended June 30, 2014, and two major customers accounted for 30% (18% and 12% for each) of the Company’s sales for the six months ended June 30, 2013.  One major customer accounted for 11% of the Company’s sales for the three months ended June 30, 2014, and two major customers accounted for 29% (16% and 13% for each) of the Company’s sales for the three months ended June 30, 2013. Accounts receivable from these customers amounted to $1,754,605 and $1,574,675 as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

The Company purchased its products from four major vendors during the six months ended June 30, 2014, and from three major vendors during the six months ended June 30, 2013, accounting for 64% (22%, 16%, 15% and 11% for each) and 34% (14%, 10% and 10% for each) of the purchases, respectively. Four vendors accounted for 68% of the purchases during the three months ended June 30, 2014 (25%, 16%, 15% and 12%, respectively) and one major vendor accounted for 13% of the purchases during the three months ended June 30, 2013. Accounts payable to these vendors were $3,181,776 and $2,881,672 as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, 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 are denominated in Chinese Yuan Renminbi (“RMB”), and all of the assets and liabilities of the Company’s subsidiaries in China are also denominated in RMB. 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, Bright Swallow and Diamond Bar is the United States Dollar (“$” or “USD”). The functional currency of Nova Dongguan, Nova Museum and Ding Nuo 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 June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, were RMB6.1528 = USD$1.00 and RMB6.0969 = USD$1.00, respectively. The weighted-average RMB to USD exchange rates in effect for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, were RMB6.1180 = USD$1.00 and RMB6.2413 = 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

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 six and three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 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 Ding Nuo, and acquired Diamond Bar and Bright Swallow 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, Diamond Bar, Bright Swallow and Ding Nuo 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 Ding Nuo are created with similar production processes, in the same facilities, under the same regulatory environment and sold to customers using similar distribution systems; (ii) Diamond Bar is a furniture distributor based in California focusing customers in US, and Bright Swallow is a furniture distributor based in Hong Kong focusing customers in Canada, they both are operated under the same senior management of Nova Dongguan and Nova Macao, and managementviews the operations of Nova Dongguan, Nova Macao, Diamond Bar, Bright Swallow and Ding Nuo 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 July 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-11, “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carry-forward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carry-forward Exists.” The amendments in this ASU are to improve the current U.S. GAAP because they are expected to reduce diversity in practice by providing guidance on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits and will better reflect the manner in which an entity would settle at the reporting date any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position when net operating loss carry-forwards, similar tax losses, or tax credit carry-forwards exist. Current U.S. GAAP does not include explicit guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carry-forward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carry-forward exists. This Update applies to all entities that have unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carry-forward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carry-forward exists at the reporting date. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date. Retrospective application is permitted.

As of June 30, 2014, the adoption of ASU 2013-11 did not have an impact on our statement of operations but did impacted our balance sheet classification, with a decrease in long-term deferred tax assets and a corresponding decrease in long term income tax payable by approximately $55,000.

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.

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 9,682,616 shares were issued to Nova Holdings and 2,235,000 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. St. Joyal has paid in full in April 2014.

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.

On April 24, 2013, Nova LifeStyle completed the acquisition of Bright Swallow International Group Limited, a British Virgin Island corporation (the “BSI” or “Bright Swallow”), Nova Lifestyle acquired all the outstanding capital stock of Bright Swallow for $6.5 million paid in full at the closing pursuant to a stock purchase agreement entered into with the sole shareholder of Bright Swallow. Bright Swallow is engaged in export of sofas to overseas customers.

On October 21, 2013, Nova Dongguan incorporated Dongguan Ding Nuo Household Products Co., Ltd. (“Ding Nuo”) under the laws of the PRC and contributed capital of RMB 1 million ($162,994). Nova Dongguan made an additional capital contribution of RMB 0.1 million ($16,305) on November 27, 2013 through one of Nova Dongguan’s officer who acts as the nominee shareholder of Ding Nuo. All of the nominee shareholder’s shares were put in escrow and trust with Nova Dongguan and all profits and loss of Ding Nuo will be distributed to Nova Dongguan; accordingly, Nova Dongguan effectively controls 100% of Ding Nuo.  Ding Nuo was established mainly for engaging in business with IKEA.

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

Note 19 - Subsequent Events

The company has evaluated subsequent events through the issuance of the consolidated financial statements and the following subsequent event has been identified that requires disclosure in this section.

In July 2014, the Company entered into restricted stock award agreements (under 2014 Omnibus Long-Term Incentive Plan) with four independent directors of the Board. The company agreed to grant 5,000 shares to one and 4,000 shares to each of three of its independent directors with a grant date on July 9, 2014, respectively. The restricted period lapses as to twenty-five percent (25%) of the restricted stock on each of the three-month, six-month, nine-month and twelve-month anniversaries of the grant date. The fair value of these shares was $81,090, which was calculated based on the stock price of $4.77 per share on July 9, 2014.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

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 accounting principles generally accepted 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 June 30, 2014 and for the six and three month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 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, 2013, previously filed with the SEC on March 31, 2014.

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 June 30, 2014, its interim condensed consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the six and three month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, 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, goodwill and warrant derivative liability. 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 June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company concluded there was no impairment of goodwill of Diamond Bar.

On April 24, 2013, Nova LifeStyle completed the acquisition of Bright Swallow.  Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total purchase is allocated to tangible assets and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values with the excess charged to goodwill. Nova Lifestyle recognized $808,518 goodwill from the acquisition. As of December 31, 2013, the Company first assessed qualitative factors and determined it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill.  The Company then performed the first step of the two-step goodwill impairment test.  The Company completed the step one analysis using discounted cash flow. The DCF method uses revenue and expense projections and risk-adjusted discount rates. The process of determining fair value is subjective and requires management to exercise a significant amount of judgment in determining future growth rates, discount and tax rates and other factors. The results of the step one analysis indicated there was no impairment of goodwill of Bright Swallow at December 31, 2013. As of June 30, 2014, the Company performed an interim goodwill impairment assessment for Bright Swallow based on Bright Swallow’s actual performance for the 1st six-months of 2014 and updated revenue and expense projections. Based on this analysis, the Company concluded that the goodwill of $0.81 million for Bright Swallow was impaired as of June 30, 2014. The goodwill impairment charge is non-cash. The goodwill impairment charge is not deductible for income tax purposes and, therefore, the Company has not recorded a corresponding tax benefit in 2014.

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 $316,004 and $280,055 as allowance for bad debts as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, 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 June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

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 June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there were no significant impairments of its long-lived assets except the disposal of damaged equipment, furniture and fixture and recognized a loss from disposal of $22,526 during the six and three months ended June 30, 2014.

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 $564,874 and $189,127 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively; $326,529 and $102,375 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, 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 15.57% for the period ended June 30, 2014 differs from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate primarily as a result of a tax benefit from the tax-exemption status of Nova Macao and non-taxable income from change in fair value of warrant liability from Nova Lifestyle offset by tax liability reserves from uncertain tax positions.

Nova Lifestyle, Inc. and Diamond Bar Outdoors, Inc. (“Diamond Bar”) are subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes. Nova Furniture BVI and Bright Swallow International Group Limited (“BSI”) were 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 and BSI are domiciled.

Nova Dongguan, Nova Museum, and Ding Nuo 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; however, Nova Museum did not apply for the tax-exempt status yet as of June 30, 2014.  Nova Macao is an income tax-exempt entity incorporated and domiciled in Macao.

During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded income tax expense of approximately $674,000 and $413,000 respectively. During the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded income tax expense of approximately $501,000 and $237,000 respectively.

As of June 30, 2014, unrecognized tax benefits were approximately $5.2 million.  The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective tax rate was $5.2 million as of June 30, 2014. As of June 30, 2013, unrecognized tax benefits were approximately $4.6 million.  The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective tax rate was $4.6 million as of June 30, 2013.

A reconciliation of the January 1, 2014, through June 30, 2014, amount of unrecognized tax benefits excluding interest and penalties ("Gross UTB") is as follows:

	Gross UTB
Beginning Balance – January 1, 2014		4,927,431
Increase in unrecorded tax benefits taken in the six months ending June 30, 2014		277,523
Exchange rate adjustment – 2014		(19,499	)
Ending Balance – June 30, 2014	$	5,185,455

At June 30, 2014, the Company had cumulatively accrued approximately $1,231,000 for estimated interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits. At December 31, 2013, the Company had cumulatively accrued approximately $1,017,000 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 $214,000 and $203,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014, and 2013, respectively; and totaled approximately $108,000 and $122,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014, and 2013, respectively. The Company does not anticipate any significant changes to its unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months.

Nova Dongguan and Ding Nuo are 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 2009. With a few exceptions, the tax years 2009-2013 remain open to examination by tax authorities in the PRC; the tax years 2011-2013 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 June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had franchising subsidy payable of $148,307 and $149,667, respectively, and was included in other payables. 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 finished goods purchased from other manufacturers, 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 six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, shipping and handling costs were $301,740 and $258,430, respectively; during the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, shipping and handling costs were $184,268 and 154,863, 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 $122,948 and $115,316 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively; and $18,025 and 17,953 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, 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 six and three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013:

	Six Months Ended June 30,				Three Months Ended June 30,
	2014		2013		2014		2013
Net income	$	3,656,207	$	2,365,547		3,352,655		1,187,080

Effect of dilutive securities:
Unexercised warrants		157,060		253,712		104,076		306,909

Earnings per share – diluted	$	0.18	$	0.13		0.16		0.06

At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had no options to purchase shares of common stock outstanding and warrants to purchase 2,017,780 and 522,473 shares of common stock were outstanding and exercisable, respectively.  For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, 1,696,540 and 155,100 shares purchasable under the warrants were excluded from EPS as their effects were anti-dilutive.  For the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, 1,696,540 and 155,100 shares purchasable under the warrants were excluded from EPS as their effects were anti-dilutive.

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.

One major customer accounted for 10% of the Company’s sales for the six months ended June 30, 2014, and two major customers accounted for 30% (18% and 12% for each) of the Company’s sales for the six months ended June 30, 2013.  One major customer accounted for 11% of the Company’s sales for the three months ended June 30, 2014, and two major customers accounted for 29% (16% and 13% for each) of the Company’s sales for the three months ended June 30, 2013. Accounts receivable from these customers amounted to $1,754,605 and $1,574,675 as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

The Company purchased its products from four major vendors during the six months ended June 30, 2014, and from three major vendors during the six months ended June 30, 2013, accounting for 64% (22%, 16%, 15% and 11% for each) and 34% (14%, 10% and 10% for each) of the purchases, respectively. Four vendors accounted for 68% of the purchases during the three months ended June 30, 2014 (25%, 16%, 15% and 12%, respectively) and one major vendor accounted for 13% of the purchases during the three months ended June 30, 2013. Accounts payable to these vendors were $3,181,776 and $2,881,672 as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, 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 are denominated in Chinese Yuan Renminbi (“RMB”), and all of the assets and liabilities of the Company’s subsidiaries in China are also denominated in RMB. 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.”

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

The carrying value of the warrant liability is determined using the Binomial Lattice option pricing model as described in Note 15. Certain assumptions used in the calculation of the warrant liability represent level-3 unobservable inputs. The Company did not have any assets or liabilities categorized as Level 1 or 2 as of June 30, 2014.

The following table summarizes the activity of Level 3 inputs measured on a recurring basis:

Fair Value Measurements of Common Stock Warrants Using Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)

	Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2014
Issuance of Series A, B and C Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants on April 14 and April 17, 2014, respectively.	$	5,659,866
Adjustment resulting from change in value recognized in earnings (a)		(2,210,913	)
Reclassification to equity upon exercise
Balance at June 30, 2014,	$	3,448,953

(a)  Adjustment resulting from change in fair value is the amount of total gains or losses for the period attributable to the change in unrealized gains or losses relating to liabilities held at the reporting date. The unrealized gain or loss is recorded in change in fair value of warrant liability in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions

The consolidated financial statements are presented in USD. The functional currency of Nova LifeStyle, Nova Furniture, Nova Macao, Bright Swallow and Diamond Bar is the United States Dollar (“$” or “USD”). The functional currency of Nova Dongguan, Nova Museum and Ding Nuo 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 June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, were RMB6.1528 = USD$1.00 and RMB6.0969 = USD$1.00, respectively. The weighted-average RMB to USD exchange rates in effect for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, were RMB6.1180 = USD$1.00 and RMB6.2413 = 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

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 six and three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 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 Ding Nuo, and acquired Diamond Bar and Bright Swallow 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, Diamond Bar, Bright Swallow and Ding Nuo 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 Ding Nuo are created with similar production processes, in the same facilities, under the same regulatory environment and sold to customers using similar distribution systems; (ii) Diamond Bar is a furniture distributor based in California focusing customers in US, and Bright Swallow is a furniture distributor based in Hong Kong focusing customers in Canada, they both are operated under the same senior management of Nova Dongguan and Nova Macao, and managementviews the operations of Nova Dongguan, Nova Macao, Diamond Bar, Bright Swallow and Ding Nuo 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 July 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-11, “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carry-forward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carry-forward Exists.” The amendments in this ASU are to improve the current U.S. GAAP because they are expected to reduce diversity in practice by providing guidance on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits and will better reflect the manner in which an entity would settle at the reporting date any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position when net operating loss carry-forwards, similar tax losses, or tax credit carry-forwards exist. Current U.S. GAAP does not include explicit guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carry-forward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carry-forward exists. This Update applies to all entities that have unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carry-forward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carry-forward exists at the reporting date. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date. Retrospective application is permitted.

As of June 30, 2014, the adoption of ASU 2013-11 did not have an impact on our statement of operations but did impacted our balance sheet classification, with a decrease in long-term deferred tax assets and a corresponding decrease in long term income tax payable by approximately $55,000.

The FASB has issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This ASU supercedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification 605 - Revenue Recognition and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Codification. The standard requires that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU is effective on January 1, 2017 and should be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the ASU recognized at the date of initial application.  The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial position and results of operations.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") has issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-12, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period. This ASU requires that a performance target that affects vesting, and that could be achieved after the requisite service period, be treated as a performance condition. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant date fair value of the award. This update further clarifies that compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered.. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Earlier adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial position and results of operations.

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 June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, 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.

In the original agreement, the Company agreed to pay $1,250 per month on or about the 15th of each month for the services to be performed in January, February, March and April of 2013, and issue 4,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.  In the extension addendum, the Company agreed to pay $1,250 per month on or about the 15th of each month for the services to be performed in May, June, July and August of 2013, the Company also agreed to issue an additional 4,650 shares of common stock to the consultant.  The board approved the issuance and delivery of 8,650 common stock shares to the consultant on July 19, 2013 and those shares were issued on August 6, 2013.  The Company recorded $26,349 stock compensation expense for 8,650 shares issued to the consultant.

On July 1, 2013, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with a consulting firm in China for providing management M&A, business strategy and financing consultation services effective July 15, 2013. The Company agreed to issue 50,000 shares of common stock to the firm for 12 months of consulting services starting on July 15, 2013. The Company also agreed to issue three-year warrants for the firm to purchase 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price of $4 per share. Both the common stock and warrants shall be issued to Consultant or its designees within 7 business days upon execution of the Agreement. The fair value of the 50,000 shares of common stock was $200,000 at July 1, 2013, and will be amortized over the service term.  During the six and three months ended June 30, 2014, the company amortized $100,000 and $50,000 as consulting expenses.

The warrants issued to the consulting firm are exercisable for a fixed number of shares, and classified as equity instruments. The Company accounted for the warrants issued based on the fair value method under ASC Topic 505, and the fair value of the warrants was calculated using the Black-Scholes model under the following assumptions: estimated life of 3 years, volatility of 353%, risk-free interest rate of 0.66% and dividend yield of 0%. No estimate of forfeitures was made as the Company has a short history of granting options and warrants. Because these equity-classified warrants are vested immediately and are non-forfeitable; based on ASC 505-50, performance commitment has been reached at the grant date, and accordingly, the measurement date is the grant date.  The fair value of the warrants issued to the consulting firm at grant date was $194,989, and will be amortized over the service term. During the six and three months ended June 30, 2014, the company recorded $76,629 and $38,314 as warrants expense, respectively.

Shares and Warrants issued through private placement

On April 14, 2014, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain purchasers pursuant to which the Company sold to the Buyers, in a registered direct offering, an aggregate of 1,320,059 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, at a negotiated purchase price of $6.78 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $8.95 million,before deducting fees to the placement agent of $716,000 and other estimated offering expenses of $20,000 payable by the Company.

According to FASB ASC 815-40-15, these warrants will be classified as a liability on the balance sheet, initially recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings at each reporting period as they have a settlement provision for adjusting the strike price if new equity is issued at a later date at a price below the strike price.

The Series A Warrants have a term of four years and are exercisable by the holders at any time after the date of issuance. The value of warrants as of April 14, 2014 was determined by using the Binomial option pricing model with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate – 0.82%; dividend yield – 0%; expected volatility – 121%.

The Series C Warrants have a term of four years and are exercisable by the holders at any time after the date of issuance. After the six month anniversary of the issuance date of the Series C Warrants, to the extent that a holder of Series C Warrant exercises less than 70% of such holder’s Series B Warrants and the closing sale price of the Common Stock is equal to or greater than $9.81 for a period of ten consecutive trading days, then the Company may purchase the entire then-remaining portion of such holder’s Series C Warrants for $1,000. The value of warrants as of April 14, 2014 was determined by using the Binomial option pricing model with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate – 0.82%; dividend yield – 0%; expected volatility – 121%. As of June 30, 2014, the fair value of the Series C Warrants was $971,087 with the assumptions of risk-free interest rate 0.88%; dividend yield – 0%; expected volatility – 118%. The Company recorded $437,178 as income from change in fair value of the warrants for the six and three months ended June 30, 2014.

In addition, the Company granted Placement Agent or its designees at the Closing warrants to purchase that number of shares of common stock of the Company equal to seven percent (7%) of the aggregate number of Shares placed in the Placement.  The Placement Agent Warrants shall have the same terms, including exercise price, anti-dilution and registration rights, as the warrants issued to the Investors in the Placement.  The placement agent and its designees received Series PA warrants to purchase up to 92,404 shares of common stock at the closing.  The value of Placement Agent Series PA warrants as of April 17, 2014 was determined by using the Binomial option pricing model with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate – 0.91%; dividend yield – 0%; expected volatility – 122%. As of June 30, 2014, the fair value of the PA Warrants was $289,824 with the assumptions of risk-free interest rate - 0.88%; dividend yield – 0%; expected volatility – 118%. The Company recorded $43,038 as income from change in fair value of the warrants for the six and three months ended June 30, 2014.
