(“LiquidValue Development”) and SeD Perth Pty Ltd. In 2014, Alset International commenced operations developing property projects and participating in third-party property development projects. LiquidValue Development Inc. (f.k.a.

Development activities are generally contracted out, including planning, design and construction, as well as other work with engineers, surveyors, architects and general contractors. The developed lots are then sold to builders for the construction of new homes. LiquidValue Development’s primary real estate projects are two subdivision development projects, one near Houston, Texas, known as Black Oak, currently projected to have approximately 550-600 units, and one in Frederick, Maryland, known as Ballenger Run, consisting of 197 acres and currently projected to have approximately 689 units. In 2022 and 2021, LiquidValue Development’s subsidiaries purchased 23 and 109 homes, respectively, in Texas from other builders in different communities. The Company intends to rent these homes. LiquidValue Development pursued this new endeavor in part to improve cash flow and smooth out the inconsistencies of income in residential land development. We intend to develop our subsidiary American Home REIT Inc. as the owner of most of single-family rental homes. *Digital Transformation Technology* The Company’s digital transformation technology segment is comprised of Hapi Metaverse Inc. and its subsidiaries. The Company’s digital transformation technology business is involved in mobile application product development and other businesses, providing information technology services to end-users, service providers and other commercial users through multiple platforms.

Through Hapi Metaverse, the Company has successfully implemented several strategic platform developments for clients, including a mobile front-end solution for network marketing, a hotel e-commerce platform for Asia and a real estate agent management platform in China. *Biohealth* The Company’s biohealth segment is comprised of HWH International Inc. and its subsidiaries and is committed to both funding research and developing and selling products that promote a healthy lifestyle. In October 2019, the Company expanded its biohealth segment into the Korean market through one of the subsidiaries of HWH International Inc., HWH World Inc (“HWH World”). HWH World is in the business of sourcing and distributing dietary supplements and other health products through its network of members in the Republic of Korea (“South Korea”). HWH World generates product sales via its direct sale model as products are sold to its members. Through the use of a Hapi Gig platform that combines e-commerce, social media and a customized rewards system, HWH Korea equips, trains and empowers its members.

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the deferred revenue was $21,198 and $728,343, respectively. All deferred revenue came from unrecognized sales. *Other Business Activities* In addition to the segments identified above, the Company provides corporate strategy and business development services, asset management services, corporate restructuring and leveraged buy-out expertise. These service offerings build relationships with promising companies for potential future collaboration and expansion. We believe that our other business activities complement our three principal businesses. The Company’s other business activities segment is primarily comprised of Alset International, SeD Capital Pte. Ltd., BMI Capital Partners International Limited, Singapore Construction & Development Pte. Ltd. and food and beverage part of HWH International Inc. The Company, through Alset F&B One Pte. Ltd.

(“Alset F&B PLQ”) each acquired a restaurant franchise licenses at the end of 2021 and 2022 respectively, both of which have since commenced operations.

Killiney Kopitiam, founded in 1919, is a Singapore-based chain of mass-market, traditional kopitiam style service cafes selling traditional coffee and tea, along with a range of local delicacies such as Curry Chicken, Laksa, Mee Siam, and Mee Rebus.
