General
 
SeD Intelligent Home Inc., formerly known as Homeownusa, was incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 10, 2009 with the intention of entering into the home equity lease/rent to own business. The Company is no longer pursuing this business plan. Our address is 4800 Montgomery Lane, Suite 210, Bethesda, MD, 20814. Our telephone number is 301-971-3940.
 
On December 31, 2013, the Company’s sole director and officer and nine other shareholders sold their interest in the Company to CloudBiz International Pte, Ltd (“CloudBiz”), a Singapore corporation. The total number of shares purchased was 15,730 which represented a 69% interest in the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock (the “Transaction”). Along with the Transaction, the sole director and officer resigned and Mr. Conn Flanigan was appointed as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and sole director. On July 7, 2014 CloudBiz invested $37,000 in the Company. For such investment, CloudBiz received an additional 74 million shares of the Company’s common stock. In October 2014, the Company issued 20,534 shares to 30 new investors for total proceeds of $2,053. On December 22, 2016 Cloudbiz International Pte. Ltd transferred 74,015,730 common shares to Singapore eDevelopment. Singapore eDevelopment subsequently contributed its ownership in the Company to its subsidiary SeD Home International, Inc. (which also owned SeD Home until December 29, 2017, at which time SeD Home International, Inc. contributed its shares of SeD Home to the Company). The majority of the Company’s common stock continues to be owned by SeD Home International, Inc. On January 10, 2017, our board of directors appointed Fai H. Chan as Director. On March 10, 2017, Mr. Rongguo (Ronald) Wei, CPA, was appointed as Chief Financial Officer of the Company.
 
On March 10, 2017, our board of directors approved and ratified a change in the Company's fiscal year end from January 31st to December 31st, effective immediately as of the date of the board approval. On September 5, 2017, the Company changed its name to SeD Intelligent Home Inc., and increased its number of authorized shares to 1,000,000,000 (the par value per share remained $.001).
 
On December 29, 2017, the Company, SeD Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger Sub”), SeD Home Inc. (“SeD Home”), a Delaware corporation, and SeD Home International, Inc., a Delaware corporation entered into an Acquisition Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which the Merger Sub was merged with and into SeD Home, with SeD Home surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The closing of this transaction (the “Closing”) also took place on December 29, 2017 (the “Closing Date”). Effective as of the Closing, the Company is no longer a “shell company” as that term is defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act and Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act. The Company’s business operations are now those operations that SeD Home is currently conducting, and may conduct in the future.
 
In connection with the acquisition of SeD Home, the Company has appointed new officers and directors. Fai H. Chan and Moe T. Chan serve now as co-Chief Executive Officers; Rongguo (Ronald) Wei and Alan W. L. Lui serve as Co-Chief Financial Officers, and our Board of Directors includes Fai H. Chan, Moe T. Chan, Conn Flanigan and Charley MacKenzie.
 
With the completion of the Company’s acquisition of SeD Home, we are now in the business of land development. While the Company will own real estate, the Company does not intend to be a REIT for federal tax purposes.
 
SeD Home was incorporated in Delaware on February 24, 2015, and was named SeD Home USA, Inc. before changing its name in May of 2015. Prior to the Closing, SeD Home was entirely owned and controlled by Singapore eDevelopment and certain of its subsidiaries since its incorporation. Since SeD Home’s incorporation, the management and funding of SeD Home has been directed by Singapore eDevelopment’s management, including Singapore eDevelopment’s Chief Executive Officer and controlling shareholder, Fai H. Chan. The officers and directors of SeD Home are the same six individuals who are the officers and directors of the Company (listed above). SeD Home’s Black Oak project is a 162-acre land sub-division development north of Houston, Texas. SeD Home’s Ballenger Run project is a 197-acre sub-division development near Washington D.C. in Frederick County, Maryland. SeD Home conducts its operations through nine wholly and partially owned subsidiaries. SeD Home’s affiliates will provide project and asset management via separate agreements with consultants.

The land development business involves converting undeveloped land into buildable lots. When possible, in future projects we will attempt to mitigate risk by attempting to enter into contracts with strategic home building partners for the sale of lots to be developed. In such circumstances, it is our intention that (i) we will conduct a feasibility study on a particular land development; (ii) both SeD Home and the strategic home building partners will work together in connection with acquisition of the appropriate land; (iii) strategic home building partners will typically agree to enter into agreements to purchase up to 100% of the buildable lots to be developed; (iv) SeD Home and the strategic home building partners will enter into appropriate agreements; and (v) SeD Home will proceed to acquire the land for development and will be responsible for the infrastructure development, ensuring the completion of the project and delivery of buildable lots to the strategic home building partner.
 
We also intend, to the fullest extent practicable, to source land where local government agencies (including county, district and other municipalities) and public authorities, such as improvement districts, will reimburse the majority of infrastructure costs incurred by the land developer for developing the land to build taxable properties. The developers and public authorities enter into agreements whereby the developers are reimbursed for their costs of infrastructure.
 
The Company will also consider the potential to purchase foreclosure property development projects from banks, if attractive opportunities should arise.
 
The Company, utilizing the extensive business network of its management and majority shareholder, may from time to time attempt to forge joint ventures with other parties. Through its subsidiaries, SeD Home may manage such joint ventures.
 
In addition to the completion of our current projects, we intend to seek additional land development projects in diverse regions across the United States. Such projects may be within both the for-sale and for-rent markets, and we may expand from residential properties to other property types, including but not limited to commercial and retail properties. We will consider projects in diverse regions across the United States, however, SeD Home and its management and consultants have longstanding relationships with local owners, brokers, managers, lenders, tenants, attorneys and accountants to help it source deals throughout Maryland and Texas. SeD Home will continue to focus on off-market deals and raise appropriate financing.
 
SeD Home, via a subsidiary, is presently exploring opportunities to expand its current portfolio by developing communities solely designed for renters. SeD Home is exploring the potential to pursue this new endeavor in part to improve cash flow and smooth out the inconsistencies of income in residential land development. SeD will continue to attempt to mitigate risk and maximize returns. At the present time, SeD Home owns one home through its subsidiary SeD USA, LLC that is available for rent. Previously, SeD Home owned other homes for rent which have been sold.
 
Entering into the business of building homes with the intention of owning and renting those homes would provide an opportunity for SeD Home to create value by (i) acquiring properties for horizontal and vertical development; (ii) providing fee generation via property management and leasing; and (iii) capturing rent escalations over long term periods. SeD Home and its affiliates would provide property management for customers seeking to offload home maintenance and lawn care.
 
Through our subsidiaries, we will explore the potential to pursue other business opportunities related to real estate. The Company is evaluating the potential to enter into activities related to real estate and home technologies, although we note that these potential opportunities remain at the exploratory stage, and we may not pursue these opportunities at the discretion of our management. The Company is particularly exploring opportunities related to smart home and eco-friendly home technologies.
 
We also intend to enlarge the scope of property-related services. Additional planned activities, which we intend to be carried out through SeD Home, include financing, home management, realtor services, insurance and home title validation. We may particularly provide these services in connection with homes we build. These activities are also in the planning stages.
 
The Company has expended minimal resources on the projects currently being explored as potential additions to our core land development business, consisting primarily of management time, payments for market studies and expenditures for the development of proposed floor plans for potential residential developments. The Company has not yet determined the estimated time frame for when it might commence operations in any such new business opportunities.
 
As of December 31, 2017, we had total assets of $58,166,606 and total liabilities of $24,561,292. Total assets as of December 31, 2016 were $56,133,810 and total liabilities were $27,047,413.

Employees
 
At the present time, our subsidiary SeD Development Management LLC has four full time employees, and no part time employees. Much of our work is done by contractors retained for projects, and at the present time we have no full or part time employees outside of SeD Development Management LLC.
 
Compliance with Government Regulation
 
The development of our real estate projects will require the Company to comply with federal, state and local environmental regulations. In connection with this compliance, our real estate acquisition and development projects will require environmental studies. To date, the Company has spent approximately $42,356 on environmental studies and compliance. Such costs are reflected in construction progress costs in our financial statements.
 
The cost of complying with governmental regulations is significant and will increase if we add additional real estate projects and become involved in homebuilding in the future. We will incur additional expenses related to complying with U.S. securities reporting requirements now that SeD Home is owned by SeD Intelligent Home Inc.
 
At the present time, we believe that we have all of the material government approvals that we need to conduct our business as currently conducted. We are subject to periodic local permitting that must be addressed, but we do not anticipate that such requirements for government approval will have a material impact on our business as presently conducted. We are required to comply with government regulations and to make filings from time to time with various government entities. Such work is typically handled by outside contractors we retain.
 
Intellectual Property
 
At the present time, the Company does not own any trademarks, but we anticipate filing trademark applications as we expand into new areas of business.

Corporate Organization
 
The following chart describes the Company’s ownership of various subsidiaries:

Black Oak
 
Black Oak is a 162-acre land infrastructure development and sub-division project situated in Magnolia, Texas north of Houston. 150 Black Oak LP was a partnership formed by our current partner prior to our investment. 150 Black Oak LP had contracts to purchase seven contiguous parcels of land. Our initial equity investment was US$4.3 million for 60% ownership in the partnership. Upon this initial investment in February 2014, we changed the name of the partnership to 150 CCM Black Oak, Ltd (the “Black Oak LP”). Since then we have increased our ownership in the Black Oak LP to 69%. Black Oak LP is owned by a general partner and three limited partners. Black Oak LP is controlled by SeD Home through its indirect ownership and control of the general partner and a majority of the limited partnership interests. The general partner of Black Oak LP, a Texas corporation called 150 Black Oak GP, Inc., is wholly owned by SeD USA, LLC, which in turn is wholly owned by SeD Home. A majority of the limited partnership interests are owned by SeD Development USA, Inc., which is wholly owned by SeD Home. 150 Black Oak GP, Inc. was previously jointly owned with a partner, but is now entirely owned by SeD USA LLC. The limited partners in Black Oak LP include SeD Development USA, Inc., American Real Estate Investments LLC and the Fogarty Family Trust II. As the only Class A limited partner, SeD Development USA, Inc. is entitled to a preferred return of five percent (5%) on its capital contribution prior to distributions to any other limited partner. As of December 31, 2017, Black Oak had total outstanding debts of $11,980,427 to SeD Development USA, Inc. and $ 6,541,465 to SeD Builder, Inc., each of which is one of our subsidiaries. Such loans are at an annual interest rate of 15% per year and are secured by deeds on the Black Oak property.
 
Black Oak LP is obligated under the Limited Partnership Agreement (as amended) to pay a $6,500 per month management fee to Arete Real Estate and Development Company (Arete), a related party through common ownership and $2,000 per month to American Real Estate Investments LLC (AREI), a related party through common ownership. The Company incurred fees of $102,000 and $102,000 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. These fees were capitalized as part of Real Estate on the consolidated balance sheet.
 
Arete is also entitled to a developer fee of 3% of all development costs excluding certain costs. The fees are to be accrued until $1,000,000 is received in revenue and/or builder deposits relating to the Black Oak Project. At December 31, 2017 and 2016, there were $133,130 and $0 capitalized as Real Estate relating to these costs.
 
At December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company had $314,630 and $103,700 owed to Arete in accounts payable and accrued expenses.
 
At December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company had $48,000 and $24,000 owed to AREI in accounts payable and accrued expenses.
 
The site plan at Black Oak is being revised to allow for approximately 420-500 residential lots of varying sizes. We anticipate that our involvement in land development aspects of this project will take approximately three to five additional years to complete. Since February of 2015, we have completed several important tasks related to the project, including clearing certain portions of the property, paving certain roads within the project and complying with the local improvement district to ensure reimbursement of these costs. We project selling lots and the construction of homes will take place in 2018. We are presently in negotiations with multiple builders for lot takedowns or in some cases entire phases of the project.
 
The Black Oak project is applying for reimbursement of certain construction of roads, sewer, water etc. While we may be entitled to reimbursements from a local improvement district, the amount and timing of such payments is uncertain. The timing of such potential reimbursements will be impacted by certain bond sales by the Harris County Improvement District #17.
 
In October 2015, the project obtained a US$6.0 million construction loan from Revere High Yield Fund, LP. This loan was paid off in October of 2017.
 
In August of 2017, we entered into a listing agreement for the Black Oak project with a nationally recognized land broker in Houston, Texas. Should we receive an acceptable offer for all or part of this project, we would strongly consider selling the project. There can be no guarantee that we will receive an offer at an acceptable amount. We continue to move forward with our development plans. If we are able to sell this project at an attractive price, we anticipate utilizing the net proceeds from such sale for the development of new projects and our expansion into new areas of business.
 
At the present time, the Company is also considering expanding its current policy of selling buildable lots to include a strategy of building housing for sale or rent, particularly at our Black Oak property.
 
Ballenger Run
 
In November 2015, we completed the US$15.65 million acquisition of Ballenger Run, a 197-acre land sub-division development located in Frederick County, Maryland. Previously, on May 28, 2014, the RBG Family, LLC entered into the Assignable Real Estate Sales Contract with NVR, Inc. (“NVR”) by which RBG Family, LLC would sell the 197 acres for $15,000,000 to NVR. On December 10, 2014, NVR assigned this contract to SeD Maryland Development, LLC in the Assignment and Assumption Agreement and entered into a series of Lot Purchase Agreements by which NVR would purchase subdivided lots from SeD Maryland Development, LLC.
 
SeD Maryland Development’s acquisition of the 197 acres was funded in part from a US$5.6 million deposit from NVR Inc. (“NVR”). The balance of US$10.05 million was derived from a total equity contribution of US$15.2 million by SeD Ballenger LLC (“SeD Ballenger”) and CNQC Maryland Development LLC (a unit of Qingjian International Group Co, Ltd, China, “CNQC”). The project is owned by SeD Maryland Development, LLC (“SeD Maryland”). SeD Maryland is 83.55% owned by SeD Ballenger and 16.45% by CNQC.

One of our subsidiaries, SeD Development Management, LLC is the manager of Ballenger Run pursuant to a Management Agreement. Under the Management Agreement, SeD Development Management, LLC shall manage, operate and administer SeD Maryland’ s day­to­day operations, business and affairs, subject to the supervision of SeD Maryland, and shall have only such functions and authority as SeD Maryland may delegate to it. For performing these services, SeD Development Management, LLC is entitled to a base management fee of five percent of the gross revenue (including reimbursements) of Ballenger Run. The base management fee shall be earned and paid in monthly installments of $38,650 before gross revenue is determined. When the gross revenue shall be determined, the parties will make adjustments for underpayment or overpayment as necessary to ensure the five percent of the gross revenue. SeD Development Management, LLC may also earn incentive compensation of twenty percent of any profit distributions to SeD Maryland above a 30% pre-tax internal rate of return.
 
SeD Maryland entered into a Project Development and Management Agreement for Ballenger Run with MacKenzie Development Company, LLC and Cavalier Development Group, LLC on February 25, 2015. MacKenzie Development Company, LLC assigned its rights and obligations to this agreement to Adams Aumiller Properties, LLC on September 9, 2017. Pursuant to this Project Development and Management Agreement, Adams Aumiller, LLC and Cavalier Development Group, LLC coordinate and manage the construction, financing, and development of Ballenger Run. SeD Maryland compensates Adams Aumiller LLC and Cavalier Development Group, LLC with a monthly aggregate fee of $14,667 until all single family and townhome lots have been sold. The monthly aggregate fee will then adjust to $11,000 which will continue for approximately eight months to allow all close out items to be finished including the release of guarantees and securities as required by the government authorities. The Project Development and Management Agreement for Ballenger Run also requires SeD Maryland to pay a fee of $1200 and $500 for each single-family and townhome, respectively, sold to a third party. Finally, SeD Maryland will also pay a fee of $50,000 upon the sale of the parcel underlying the multi-family lots and for the CCRC parcel.
 
This property is zoned for 443 entitled Residential Lots, 210 entitled Multi­family Units and 200 entitled Continuing Care Retirement Community (“CCRC”) units approved for twenty (20) years from the date of a Developers Rights & Responsibilities Agreement dated October 8, 2014, as amended on September 6, 2016. We anticipate that the completion of our involvement in this project will take approximately five years from the date of this Annual Report.
 
Revenue from Ballenger Run is anticipated to come from four main sources:
 
The sale of 443 entitled and constructed residential lots to NVR;
The sale of the lot for the 210 entitled multi-family units;
The sale of the lot for the 200 entitled CCRC units; and
The sale of 443 front foot benefit assessments.
 
The total project revenue is estimated to be approximately $68 million (prior to costs). Revenues may be lower, however, if we fail to attain certain goals and meet certain conditions.
 
Financing from Xenith Bank (f/k/a The Bank of Hampton Roads or Shore Bank) closed simultaneous with the settlement on the land on November 23, 2015, pursuant to a subsequent amendment to the terms of this loan, the loan provides (i) for a maximum of $11 million outstanding; (ii) that the maturity of this loan will be December 31, 2019; and (iii) includes an $800,000 letter of credit facility, with an annual rate of 1.5% on all issued letters of credit.
 
This loan is to fund the development of the first 276 lots, the multi-family parcel and senior living parcel, the amenities associated with these phases, and certain Ballenger Creek Pike improvements.
 
Expenses from Ballenger Run include, but not be limited to costs associated with land prices, closing costs, hard development costs, cost in lieu of construction, soft development costs and interest costs. We presently estimate these costs to be between $58 and $60 million. We may also encounter expenses which we have not anticipated, or which are higher than presently anticipated.
 
This project will have four phases. The first phase has been completed and the second phase has begun.
 
The following chart describes the various phases of this project:
 
 
Phase 1 construction of all infrastructure was complete as of December 31, 2017. The initial model lot sales with NVR began in May 2017 and all lot sales of varying types as outlined in the chart set forth above are continuing through the first quarter of 2018. In the fourth quarter of 2017 all improvement plans and cost estimates were approved for Phases 2A, 2B, 2C and 2D. Phase 2B is the next phase of lot takedowns for NVR. Phase 2B plat recordation and final construction began in March of 2018. Lot sales to NVR also began in March of 2018. Phases 2A, C and D plat recordation and final construction are anticipated by June of 2018.

Sale of Residential Lots
 
The 443 Residential Lots were contracted for sale under a Lot Purchase Agreement to NVR, a company based in the US and listed on the New York Stock Exchange. NVR is a home builder which is engaged in the construction and sale of single ­family detached homes, townhouses and condominium buildings. It also operates a mortgage banking and title services business. Under the Lot Purchase Agreements, NVR provided SeD Home with an upfront deposit of $5.6 million and has agreed to purchase the lots at a range of prices. The total estimated revenue to be received pursuant to these Lot Purchase Agreements, if all lots are sold, is approximately $59 million based on our projection that the lot selling prices will increase 3% per annum on a quarterly basis after June 1, 2018 . The lot types and quantities to be sold to NVR under the Lot Purchase Agreements include the following:

There are five different types of Lot Purchase Agreements (“LPAs”), which are essentially the same except for the price and unit details for each type of lot. Under the LPAs, NVR shall purchase 30 available lots per quarter. The LPAs provide several conditions related to preparation of the lots which must be met so that a lot can be made available for sale to NVR. SeD Maryland is to provide customary lot preparation including but not limited to as survey, grading, utilities installation, paving, and other infrastructure and engineering. The sale of 13 model lots to NVR began in May of 2017. As of December 31, 2017, total 42 lots were sold. NVR has started marketing lots and has commenced sales. In the event NVR did not purchase the lots under the LPAs, SeD Maryland would be entitled to keep the NVR deposit and terminate the LPAs. Should SeD Maryland breach the LPAs, it would have to return the remainder of the NVR deposit that has not already been credited to NVR for any sales of lots under the LPAs and NVR would be able to seek specific performance of the LPAs as well as any other rights available at law or in equity.
 
Sale of Lots for the Multi-family Units
 
In June 2016, SeD Maryland Development, LLC (“Maryland”) entered into a lot purchase agreement with Orchard Development Corporation (“Orchard”) relating to the sale of 210 multi-family units in the Ballenger Run Project for a total purchase price of $5,250,000 with a closing date of March 31, 2018. Based on the agreement, Orchard must put $100,000 into a third-party escrow account upon signing of the agreement and an additional $150,000 upon completion of the feasibility study, which occurred in November 2016. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, $250,000 in deposits is held in the escrow account. Since the monies are held in an escrow account and not entitled to the Company, there is no deposit recorded by the Company. As of March 31, 2018, the agreement was amended to extend the closing date 30 days for an additional deposit of $25,000. The extension also provides two additional 30-day extensions which if exercised will require an additional $25,000 deposit each.
 
Sale of the Front Foot Benefit Assessments
 
We have established a front foot benefit assessment on all of the NVR lots. This is a 30-year annual assessment allowed in Frederick County which requires homeowners to pay the developer to reimburse the costs of installing public water and sewer to the lots. These assessments become effective as homes are settled at which time we can sell the collection rights to the assessments to investors who will pay a lump sum up front so we can realize the revenue sooner. Overall, we project that these front foot benefits will result in additional profits of approximately $900,000. Front foot benefit assessments are subject to amendment by regulatory agencies, legislative bodies, and court rulings, and any changes to front foot benefit assessments could cause us to reassess these projections.

CCRC Parcel
 
On February 19, 2018, SeD Maryland Development, LLC entered into a contract to sell the CCRC parcel to Orchard Development Corporation. It was agreed that the purchase price for the 5.9 acre lot would be $2,900,000.00 with a $50,000 deposit. It was also agreed that Orchard Development Corporation would have the right to terminate the transaction during the feasibility study period, which would last through May 30, 2018, and receive a refund of its deposit. On April 13, 2018, Orchard Development Corporation indicated that it would not be proceeding with the purchase of the CCRC parcel. The Company will seek to find alternative purchasers for the CCRC parcel.
 
Wetland Impact Permit
 
The Ballenger project will require a joint wetland impact permit, which requires the review of several state and federal agencies, including the US Army Corps of Engineers. The permit is primarily required for Phase 3 construction which will not start until 2019 or later but it also affects a pedestrian trail at the Ballenger project and the multi-family sewer connection. The US Army Corps of Engineers allowed us to proceed with construction on Phase 1 but required archeological testing. As of the date of this report, the archeological testing has been completed with no further recommendations on Phase 1 of the project. Required architectural studies on the final phase of development will likely result in the loss of only one lot, however, we cannot be certain of future reviews and their impact on the project.
 
K-6 Grade School Site
 
In connection with getting the necessary approvals for the Ballenger Project, we agreed to transfer thirty acres of land that abuts the development for the construction of a local K-6 grade school. We will not be involved in the construction of such school.
 
Home Incubation Project
 
Recognizing that large land sub-division projects have a longer time horizon, we previously introduced a home incubation initiative to market completed U.S. single-family homes, with existing tenants, to investors in Asia (the “Home Incubation Project”).
 
Under the Home Incubation Project, we purchased 27 homes, mostly located in Texas. We sold 24 of the homes by the end of 2016 and an additional two in 2017. SeD Home retains only one rental home at the present time. The Group also purchased a terrace residential property in Washington, DC, and renovated and sold the property in 2017.
 
Competition
 
There are a number of companies engaged in the development of land. Should we expand our operations into the business of constructing homes ourselves, we will face increased competition, including competition from large, established and well-financed companies, some of which may have considerable ties and experience in the geographical areas in which we seek to operate. Similarly, as we consider other opportunities we may wish to pursue in addition to our current land development business, we anticipate that we will face experienced competitors.
 
We will compete in part on the basis of the skill, experience and innovative nature of our management team, and their track record of success in diverse industries.

Emerging Growth Company
 
We qualify as an Emerging Growth Company as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act. As an “Emerging Growth Company” under the JOBS Act, we are permitted to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements. For so long as we are an emerging growth company, we will not be required to:
 
have an auditor report on our internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;
 
provide an auditor attestation with respect to management’s report on the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting;
 
comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (i.e., an auditor discussion and analysis);
 
submit certain executive compensation matters to shareholder advisory votes, such as “say-on-pay” and “say-on-frequency;” and
 
disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the Chief Executive’s compensation to median employee compensation.
 
In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Our financial statements may therefore not be comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.
 
We will remain an “emerging growth company” until the last day of the fiscal year of the issuer following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of common equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement (in the case of the Company, this date will be December 31, 2018). The applicable rules also provide that we would cease to be an emerging growth company at the earliest to occur of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our total annual gross revenues is $1 billion; (ii) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which would occur if the market value of our ordinary shares that is held by non-affiliates is $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter; or (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three year period.
 
Until such time, however, we cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive thus, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.
 
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
 
An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below and the other information in this report before making a decision to invest in our common stock. If any of the following risks and uncertainties develop into actual events, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected. In those cases, the trading price of our common stock could decline and you may lose all or part of your investment.

Risks Related to Our Company
 
We will need additional capital to expand our current operations or to enter into new fields of operations.
 
Both the expansion of our current land development operations into new geographic areas and the proposed expansion of the Company into new businesses in the real estate industry will require additional capital. We will need to seek additional financing either through borrowing, private offerings of our securities or through strategic partnerships and other arrangements with corporate partners. We cannot be assured that additional financing will be available to us, or if available, will be available to us on terms favorable to us. If adequate additional financing is not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to implement our business development plan or expand our operations.
 
We must retain key personnel for the success of our business.
 
Our success is highly dependent on the skills and knowledge of our management team, including their knowledge of our projects and network of relationships. If we are unable to retain the members of such team, or adequate substitutes, this could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.
 
If we fail to effectively manage our growth our future business results could be harmed and our managerial and operational resources may be strained.
 
As we proceed with the expansion of our operations, we expect to experience significant and rapid growth in the scope and complexity of our business. We will need to hire additional personnel in order to successfully advance our operations. This growth is likely to place a strain on our management and operational resources. The failure to develop and implement effective systems, or to hire and retain sufficient personnel for the performance of all of the functions necessary to effectively service and manage our potential business, or the failure to manage growth effectively, could have a materially adverse effect on our business and financial condition.
 
There are risks related to conflicts of interest with our partners.
 
The two projects will be dependent upon SeD Development Management LLC, a subsidiary of SeD Home, for the services required for their operations. The interlocking interests of our officers and directors create a number of conflicts of interest between our Company and our partners in the two projects. Neither of the two current projects has any employees and these projects will be dependent upon SeD Development Management LLC and its affiliates for the services required for their operations.
 
The Company, through SeD Development Management LLC, will receive fees and reimbursements for the services it provides to the limited partnerships and may realize income from operations and upon the liquidation of the limited partnerships. The agreements and arrangements between the limited partnerships and SeD Development Management LLC and its affiliates, including those relating to compensation, were not negotiated at arm’s­length. Although the aggregate amount of reimbursements SeD Development Management LLC may receive is limited by the limited partnership’s Management Agreement, the amount of services that SeD Development Management LLC provides, and therefore the amount of reimbursement it receives within these limits, will be determined in the first instance by SeD Development Management LLC.
 
SeD Development Management LLC manages Ballenger Run for SeD Maryland. Potential conflict between SeD Development Management, LLC and CNQC regarding the management of Ballenger Run could undermine our ability to effectively implement our vision for these projects, and could result in costly and time-consuming litigation.
 
SeD Development USA, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of SeD Home, serves as the General Partner of 150 CCM Black Oak Ltd. Pursuant to the Limited Partnership Agreement and the Bylaws of the General Partner, SeD Development Management, as General Partner, shall manage the construction and development of the property at Black Oak. Potential conflict between SeD Development Management, LLC and the limited partners of Black Oak LP, Fogarty Family Trust II and American Real Estate Investments, LLC, regarding the management of Black Oak could undermine our ability to effectively implement our vision for these projects, and could result in costly and time-consuming litigation.
 
Members of our management may face competing demands relating to their time, and this may cause our operating results to suffer.
 
Our Co-Chief Executive Officers, Fai H. Chan and Moe T. Chan, are both officers and directors of Singapore eDevelopment, the entity which owns SeD Home International, Inc., our majority shareholder. They are involved in a number of other projects other than our Company’s real estate business and will continue to be so involved. Both of our Co-Chief Executive Officers have their primarily residences and business offices in Asia, and accordingly, there will be limits on how often they are able to visit the locations of our real estate investments. Similarly, our Co- Chief Financial Officers are both also engaged in non-real estate activities of Singapore eDevelopment, and only one of our Co-Chief Financial Officers resides and works in the United States (at an office located in Bethesda, MD).
 
 
13
 
 
Our relationship with our majority shareholder and its parent and affiliates may be on terms which are perceived by investors as more or less favorable than those that could be obtained from third parties.
 
Our majority shareholder, SeD Home International, Inc., presently owns 99.99% of our issued and outstanding common stock. While we anticipate that such percentage will be diluted over time, our majority shareholder, its parent and affiliates will be perceived as having influence over our management and operations, and any loans or other agreements which we may enter into with our majority shareholder and its parents and affiliates may be perceived by investors as being on terms that are less favorable than we could otherwise receive; such perception could adversely impact the price of our common stock. Similarly, such agreements could be perceived as being on terms more favorable than those that could be obtained from third parties, and any unwillingness by our majority shareholder and its parent and affiliates to engage with our common stock could discourage investors.
 
Risks Relating to the Real Estate Industry
 
The market for Real Estate is subject to fluctuations that may impact the value of the land or housing inventory that we hold, which may impact the price of our common stock.
 
Investors should be aware that the value of any real estate we own may fluctuate from time to time in connection with broader market conditions and regulatory issues which we cannot predict or control, including interest rates, the availability of credit, the tax benefits of homeownership and wage growth, unemployment and demographic trends in the regions in which may conduct business. Should the price of real estate decline in the areas in which we have purchased land decline, the price at which we will be able to sell lots to home builders, or if we build houses, the price at which can sell such houses to buyers, will decline.
 
The regulation of mortgages could adversely impact home buyers willingness to buy new homes which we may be involved in building and selling.
 
If we become active in the construction and sale of homes to customers, the ability of home buyers to get mortgages could have an impact on our sales, as we anticipate that the majority of home buyers will be financed through mortgage financing.
 
An increase in interest rates will cause a decrease in the willingness of buyers to purchase land for building homes and completed homes.
 
An increase in interest rates will likely impact sales, reducing both the number of homes and lots we can sell and the price at which we can sell them.
 
Our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely impacted by significant inflation or deflation.
 
Significant inflation could have an adverse impact on us by increasing the costs of land, materials and labor. We may not be able to offset cost increases caused by inflation. In addition, our costs of capital, as well as those of our future business partners, may increase in the event of inflation, which may cause us to need to cancel projects. Significant deflation could cause the value of our inventories of land or homes to decline, which could sharply impact our profits.
 
New environmental regulations could create new costs for our land development business, and other business in which we may commence operations.
 
At the present time, we are subjected to a number of environmental regulations. If we expand into the business of building homes ourselves, we will be subjected to an increasing number of environmental regulations. The number and complexity of local, state and federal regulations may increase over time. Additional environmental regulations can add expenses to our existing business, and to businesses which we may enter into the future, which may reduce our profits.
 
 
14
 
 
Zoning and land use regulations impacting the land development and homebuilding industries may limit our activities and increase our expenses, which would adversely affect our profits.
 
We must comply with zoning and land use regulations impacting the land development and home building industries. We will need to obtain the approval of various government agencies to expand our operations as currently into new areas and to commence the building of homes. Our ability to gain the necessary approvals is not certain, and the expense and timing of approval processes may increase in ways that adversely impact our profits.
 
The availability and cost of skilled workers in the building trades may impact the timing and profitability of projects that we participate in.
 
Should there be a lack of skilled workers to be retained by our Company and its partners, the ability to complete land development and potential construction projects may be delayed.
 
Shortages in required materials could impact the profitability of construction partnerships we may participate in.
 
Should a shortage of required materials occur, such shortage could cause added expense and delays that will undermine our profits.
 
Our ability to have a positive relationship with local communities could impact our profits.
 
Should we develop a poor relationship with the communities in which we will operate, such relationship will impact our profits.
 
We may face litigation in connection with either our current activities or activities which we may conduct in the future.
 
As we expand our activities, the likelihood of litigation shall increase. The expenses of such litigation may be substantial. We may be exposed to litigation for environmental, health, safety, breach of contract, defective title, construction defects, home warranty and other matters. Such litigation could include expensive class action matters. We could be responsible for matters assigned to subcontractors, which could be both expensive and difficult to predict.
 
As we expand operations, we will incur greater insurance costs and likelihood of uninsured losses.
 
If we expand our operations into home building, we may experience material losses for personal injuries and damage to property in excess of insurance limits. In addition, our premiums may raise.
 
Health and safety incidents that occur in connection with our potential expansion into the home building business could be costly.
 
If we commence operations in the homebuilding business, we will be exposed to the danger of health and safety risks to our employees and contractors. Health and safety incidents could result in the loss of the services of valued employees and contractors and expose us to significant litigation and fines. Insurance may not cover, or may be insufficient to cover, such losses.
 
Adverse weather conditions, natural disasters and man-made disasters may delay our projects or cause additional expenses.
 
The land development operations which we currently conduct and the construction projects which we may become involved in at a later date may be adversely impacted by unexpected weather and natural disasters, including but not limited to storms, hurricanes, tornados, floods, blizzards, fires, earthquakes. Man-made disasters including terrorist attacks, electrical outages and cyber-security incidents may also impact the costs and timing of the completion of our projects. Cyber-security incidents, including those that result in the loss of financial or other personal data, could expose us to litigation and reputational damage. If insurance is unavailable to us on acceptable terms, or if our insurance is not adequate to cover business interruptions and losses from the conditions described above and similar incidents, or results of operations will be adversely affected. In addition, damage to new homes caused by these conditions may cause our insurance costs to increase.
 
 
15
 
 
Risks Associated with Real Estate Related Debt and Other Investments
 
Any real estate debt security that we originate or purchase is subject to the risks of delinquency and foreclosure.
 
We may originate and purchase real estate debt securities, which are subject to numerous risks including delinquency and foreclosure. We will not have recourse to the personal assets of our tenants. The ability of a lessee to pay rent depends primarily upon the successful operation of the property, rather than upon the existence of independent income or assets of the tenant.
 
Any hedging strategies we utilize may not be successful in mitigating our risks.
 
We may enter into hedging transactions to manage, for example, the risk of interest rate or price changes. To the extent that we may occasionally use derivative financial instruments, we will be exposed to credit, basis and legal enforceability risks. Derivative financial instruments may include interest rate swap contracts, interest rate cap or floor contracts, futures or forward contracts, options or repurchase agreements. In this context, credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. If the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, the counterparty owes us, which creates credit risk for us. Basis risk occurs when the index upon which the contract is based is more or less variable than the index upon which the hedged asset or liability is based, thereby making the hedge less effective. Finally, legal enforceability risks encompass general contractual risks, including the risk that the counterparty will breach the terms of, or fail to perform its obligations under, the derivative contract. We may not be able to manage these risks effectively.
 
Risks Related to Our Potential Expansion into New Fields of Operations
 
If we pursue the development of new technologies, we will be required to respond to rapidly changing technology and customer demands.
 
In the event that the Company enters the business of developing “Smart Home” and similar technologies (an area which we are presently exploring), the future success of such operation will depend on our ability to adapt to technological advances, anticipate customer demands and develop new products. We may experience technical or other difficulties that could delay or prevent the development, introduction or marketing of products. Also, we may not be able to adapt new or enhanced services to emerging industry standards, and our new products may not be favorably received.
 
Risks Related to Our Common Stock
 
The shares of our common stock are currently not being traded and there can be no assurance that there will be an active market in the future.
 
Our shares of common stock are not publicly traded, and if trading commences, the price may not reflect our value. There can be no assurance that there will be an active market for our shares of common stock in the future. As a result, investors may not be able to liquidate their investment or liquidate it at a price that reflects the value of the business.
 
It is possible that we will not establish an active market unless our stock is listed for trading on an exchange, and we cannot assure you that we will ever satisfy exchange listing requirements.
 
It is possible that a significant trading market for our shares will not develop unless the shares are listed for trading on a national exchange. Exchange listing would require us to satisfy a number of tests as to corporate governance, public float, shareholders, equity, assets, market makers and other matters, some of which we do not currently meet. We cannot assure you that we will ever satisfy listing requirements for a national exchange or that there ever will be significant liquidity in our shares.
 
If we issue additional shares of our common stock, you will experience dilution of your ownership interest.
 
We may issue shares of our authorized but unissued equity securities in the future. Such shares may be issued in connection with raising capital, acquiring assets or firing or retaining employees or consultants. If we issue such shares, your ownership will be diluted.
 
 
16
 
 
We do not intend to pay dividends in the foreseeable future, and investors should not purchase our stock expecting to receive dividends.
 
We have not paid any dividends on our common stock in the past, and we do not anticipate that we will pay dividends in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, some investors may decline to invest in our common stock, and this may reduce the liquidity of our stock.
 
The limitations on liability for officers, directors and employees under the laws of the State of Nevada and the existence of indemnification rights for our officers, directors and employees could result in substantial expenditures by the Company and could discourage lawsuits against our officers, directors and employees.
 
Our Articles of Incorporation contain a specific provision that eliminates the liability of our officers and directors for monetary damages to our company and shareholders. Further, we intend to provide indemnification to our officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada. We may also enter into employment and other agreements in the future pursuant to which we will have indemnification obligations. The foregoing indemnification obligations could result in the Company incurring substantial expenditures to cover the cost of settlement or damage awards against officers and directors. These obligations may discourage the filing of derivative litigation by our shareholders against our officers and directors even where such litigation may be perceived as beneficial by our shareholders.
 
SeD Home will incur increased costs and compliance risks as a result of becoming a public company.
 
As a public company, SeD Home will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that SeD Home did not occur prior to being acquired by the Company.

Revenue
 
Revenue was $6,957,042 for the period ended December 31, 2017 as compared to $1,030,059 for the period ended December 31, 2016. This increase in revenue is primarily attributable to the Company having an increase in property sales from the Ballenger Project, starting in May of 2017. We anticipate a higher level of revenue from sales in 2018. Builders are required to purchase minimum numbers of lots based on sales agreements we enter into with them. We collect revenue from the sale of lots to builders; we do not build any houses ourselves at the present time.
 
Rental income declined from $230,059 in the period ended December 31, 2016 to $88,438 in the period ended December 31, 2017 as certain rental properties were sold (we now own only one rental property). Unless we acquire additional rental-income producing assets, such rental income may decline further in 2018 if this remaining rental home is sold.
 
Operating Expenses
 
Operating expenses increased to $7,336,319 for the period ended December 31, 2017 from $2,183,426 for the period ended December 31, 2016. This increase is caused by increased costs relating to increased sales, which cost of sales increased from $970,397 in the period ended December 31, 2016 to $6,217,779 in the period ended December 31, 2017. Accrued construction expenses were allocated to lot sales. We anticipate total cost of sales will increase as revenue increases.

Net loss decreased from $1,111,622 to $249,769 in the period ended December 31, 2016 to December 31, 2017, in large part because of our increased property sales. In 2018, we anticipate further decline in losses relating to our current operations, however, the addition of new operations may cause new expenses that delay any profitability.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Our real estate assets have increased to $ 54,543,092 as of December 31, 2017 from $52,915,566 as of December 31, 2016. This increase largely reflects an increase in construction in progress to $30,104,201 as of December 31, 2017 from $26,146,557. Our liabilities declined from $27,047,413 at December 31, 2016 to $24,561,292 at December 31, 2017. Our total assets have increased to $58,166,606 as of December 31, 2017 from $56,133,810 as of December 31, 2016.
 
As of December 31, 2017, we had cash $358,233, compared to $424,548 as of December 31, 2016. Our Ballenger Run revolver loan balance from Hampton Road Bank is approximately $ 8.1 million and the credit limit is $11 million as of December 31, 2017. At December 31, 2016, the revolver loan balance is approximate $7.2 million and credit limit is $8 million. In addition, we owed $6 million to Revere High Yield Fund, which was paid off in October 2017 with related party debt. The interest of related party loans is accruing and the due date of these loans could be extended.
 
Based on the sales projection of Ballenger run by sales contract with NVR and Orchard Development Corporation, the 2018 revenue is expected to be approximately $20 million. The majority of the loan from Xenith Bank will be repaid and the balance closes to less than $1 million at end of 2018. The credit line of revolver loan is $11 million. At the same time, we expect that the restricted cash $2.6 million will release to us around September 2018 after we satisfy the terms on the loan agreement. In 2018, Ballenger will distribute about $2.7 million cash back to SeD Home.
 
Currently the Black Oak project does not have any financing from third parties. The future development timeline of Black Oak is based on multiple limiting conditions, such as the amount of the funds raised from capital market, the loans from third party financial institutions, and the government reimbursements, etc. The development will be step by step and expenses will be contingent on the amount of funding we will receive.
 
Summary of Cash Flows
 
A summary of cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 are as follows:
 
 
 
2017 
 
 
2016 
 
Net cash Used in Operating Activities
 $(2,688,056)
 $(12,034,820)

 $(32,801)
 $(42,947)

 $(66,315)
 $(1,868,229)

 $424,548 
 $2,292,777 
Cash at end of the year
 $358,233 
 $424,548 
 
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
 
Cash flows from operating activities include costs related to assets ultimately planned to be sold, including land development and property purchased for resale. In the year 2017, cash used in operating activities was $2,688,056 compared with $12,034,820 in 2016. The decease of the development costs in 2017 is the main reason of decrease of the cash used in operating activities. With the completion of the part of phase one of Black Oak project, development speed was adjusted with our development funding conditions and development costs went down as well. Ballenger development costs also went down in the year of 2017 compared that period in 2016 because of the different development stages and the reduction by the allocated costs of sold lots.
 
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
 
Cash flows used in investing activities primarily includes purchases of office fixture and computer equipment and money market deposit required by Hampton Road Bank as the revolver loan collateral.
 
 
21
 
 
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
 
In 2016, most of loans were from third party financial institutes, Revere Loan for Black Oak project and Hampton Loan for Ballenger Run project. In 2017, SeD Home borrowed $7.5 million from SeD Home International to pay off Revere Loan of $6 million and to support the land development of Black Oak and Ballenger projects. Ballenger Run also borrowed about $1 million from the Hampton Road Bank for its land development.
 
Seasonality
 
The real estate business is subject to seasonal shifts in costs as certain work in more likely to perform at certain times of year. This may impact the expenses of SeD Home from time to time. In addition, should we commence building homes, we are likely to experience periodic spikes in sales as we commence the sales process at a particular location.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
As of December 31, 2017, we did not have any off­ balance sheet arrangements, as defined under applicable SEC rules.
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
We have established various accounting policies under US GAAP. Some of these policies involve judgments, assumptions and estimates by management. We base these estimates on historical experience, available current market information and on various other assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Additionally, we evaluate the results of these estimates on an on­going basis. We are subject to uncertainties such as the impact of future events, economic, environmental and political factors and changes in our business environment. therefore, actual results could differ from these estimates. The accounting policies that we deem most critical as follows:
 
Revenue Recognition and Cost of Sales
 
The Company recognizes sales of lots only upon closing under the full accrual method. Revenue is recognized when ownership of the lots is transferred to the buyer (HUDs are executed).
 
Land acquisition costs are allocated to each lot based on the size of the lot comparing to the total size of all lots in the project. Development costs and capitalized interest are allocated to lots sold based on the total expected development and interest costs of the completed project and allocating a percentage of those costs based on the selling price of the sold lot compared to the expected sales values of all lots in the project.
 
Real Estate Assets
 
Real estate assets are recorded at cost, except when real estate assets are acquired that meet the definition of a business combination in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 805, “Business Combinations,” which acquired assets are recorded at fair value. Interest, property taxes, insurance and other incremental costs (including salaries) directly related to a project are capitalized during the construction period of major facilities and land improvements. The capitalization period begins when activities to develop the parcel commence and ends when the asset constructed is completed. The capitalized costs are recorded as part of the asset to which they relate and are reduced when lots are sold.
 
The Company capitalized interest from related party borrowings of $211,005 and $2,662,189 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The Company capitalized interest from the third-party borrowings of $1,008,220 and $911,764 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
 
A property is classified as “held for sale” when all of the following criteria for a plan of sale have been met:
 
(1) management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the property. (2) the property is available for immediate sale in its present condition, subject only to terms that are usual and customary. (3) an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell, have been initiated. (4) the sale of the property is probable and is expected to be completed within one year or the property is under a contract to be sold. (5) the property is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value. and (6) actions necessary to complete the plan of sale indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. When all of these criteria have been met, the property is classified as “held for sale”. “Real estate held for sale” only includes El Tesoro project and D street project.
 
Valuation and impairment of the project
 
Through December 31, 2017, it was the Company’s policy to obtain an independent third-party valuation for each project every two years to test for impairment. Every reporting period, the Company compared the book value to the fair value obtained in the most recent valuation and looks at market conditions to see if there are any indicators of impairment. If any indicators are noted, the Company will obtain a new valuation and compare the fair value to the book value.
 
Beginning in 2018, it is the Company’s policy to obtain annual independent third-party valuations as of December 31 for each property and compare the fair value from the valuation to the book value to determine if there any impairment.
 
At December 31, 2016, the Company recognized $29,281 of impairment related to the D Street Home Remodeling Project. There was no impairment for the Black Oak or Ballenger Run Projects.
 
At December 31, 2017, there was no impairment recognized for any of the projects.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of SeD Intelligent Home Inc. and Subsidiaries
 
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of SeD Intelligent Home Inc. and Subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2017, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2017, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
Basis for Opinion
 
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
 
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2014.

(“SeD Home”), a Delaware corporation, and SeD Home International, Inc., a Delaware corporation entered into an Acquisition Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which the Merger Sub was merged with and into SeD Home, with SeD Home surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

Prior to the Closing, SeD Home International, Inc. was the owner of 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of SeD Home and was also the owner of 99.96% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock. The Company acquired all of the outstanding common stock of SeD Home from SeD Home International, Inc. in exchange for issuing to SeD Home International, Inc. 630,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Accordingly, SeD Home International, Inc. remains the Company’s largest shareholder, and the Company is now the sole shareholder of SeD Home. The Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby were approved by the Board of Directors of each of the Company, the Merger Sub, SeD Home International, Inc., and SeD Home.

The Agreement is considered a business combination of companies under common control and therefore, the consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of both companies. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been retrospectively restated as a result of an acquisition of another company under common control with the Company.
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Loss per Common Share
 
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to the common stockholders by weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Fully diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. There were no dilutive financial instruments issued or outstanding for the periods ended December 31, 2017 or 2016.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
For purpose of this disclosure, the fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or liquidation. The carrying amount of the Company’s short-term financial instruments approximates fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the date of acquisition to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2017 and 2016.
 
Restricted Cash
 
As a condition to the loan agreement with The Bank of Hampton Roads, the Company is required to maintain a minimum of $2,600,000 in an interest-bearing account maintained by the lender as additional security for the loans. The funds will remain as collateral for the loans until the loans are paid off in full.
 
Rent Receivable
 
Rent receivables are the result of outstanding rent due from tenants. Management reviews each receivable individually for collectability to determine if an allowance for doubtful accounts is needed. The allowance for doubtful accounts at December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was $0.
 
Other Receivables
 
Other receivables include all receivables from buyers, vendors, contractors and all other third parties. The balance at December 31, 2017 is primarily a lot sale receivable for which no allowance is necessary.
 
 
F-7
 
 
Property and Equipment
 
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for major additions and betterments are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method (after taking into account their respective estimated residual values) over the estimated useful lives, which are 3 years.
 
Real Estate Assets
 
Real estate assets are recorded at cost, except when real estate assets are acquired that meet the definition of a business combination in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 805, “Business Combinations,” which acquired assets are recorded at fair value. Interest, property taxes, insurance and other incremental costs (including salaries) directly related to a project are capitalized during the construction period of major facilities and land improvements. The capitalization period begins when activities to develop the parcel commence and ends when the asset constructed is completed. The capitalized costs are recorded as part of the asset to which they relate and are reduced when lots are sold.
 
The Company capitalized interest from related party borrowings of $211,005 and $2,662,189 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The Company capitalized interest from the third-party borrowings of $1,008,220 and $911,764 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
 
A property is classified as “held for sale” when all of the following criteria for a plan of sale have been met:
 
(1) management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the property. (2) the property is available for immediate sale in its present condition, subject only to terms that are usual and customary. (3) an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell, have been initiated. (4) the sale of the property is probable and is expected to be completed within one year or the property is under a contract to be sold. (5) the property is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value. and (6) actions necessary to complete the plan of sale indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. When all of these criteria have been met, the property is classified as “held for sale”. “Real estate held for sale” only includes El Tesoro project and D street project.
 
Through December 31, 2017, it was the Company’s policy to obtain an independent third-party valuation for each project every two years to test for impairment. Every reporting period, the Company compared the book value to the fair value obtained in the most recent valuation and looks at market conditions to see if there are any indicators of impairment. If any indicators are noted, the Company will obtain a new valuation and compare the fair value to the book value.
 
Beginning in 2018, it is the Company’s policy to obtain annual independent third-party valuations as of December 31 for each property and compare the fair value from the valuation to the book value to determine if there any impairment.
 
At December 31, 2016, the Company recognized $29,281 of impairment related to the D Street Home Remodeling Project. There was no impairment for the Black Oak or Ballenger Run Projects.
 
At December 31, 2017, there was no impairment recognized for any of the projects.
 
Revenue Recognition and Cost of Sales
 
The Company recognizes sales of lots only upon closing under the full accrual method. Revenue is recognized when ownership of the lots is transferred to the buyer (HUDs are executed).
 
Land acquisition costs are allocated to each lot based on the size of the lot comparing to the total size of all lots in the project. Development costs and capitalized interest are allocated to lots sold based on the total expected development and interest costs of the completed project and allocating a percentage of those costs based on the selling price of the sold lot compared to the expected sales values of all lots in the project.
 
 
F-8
 
 
Income Taxes
 
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of net operating loss and credit carry-forwards and temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their respective financial reporting amounts measured at the current enacted tax rates. The differences relate primarily to net operating loss carryforward from date of acquisition and to the use of the cash basis of accounting for income tax purposes. The Company records an estimated valuation allowance on its deferred income tax assets if it is more likely than not that these deferred income tax assets will not be realized.
 
The Company recognizes a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company has not recorded any unrecognized tax benefits.
 
The Company’s tax returns for 2017, 2016, 2015 and 2014 remain open to examination.
 
Subsequent Events
 
The Company evaluated the events and transactions subsequent to December 31, 2017, the balance sheet date, in accordance with FASB ASC 855-10-50, through April 17, 2018, which to the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued.

9. INCOME TAXES
 
On December 22, 2017, President Trump signed into law the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act” (TCJA) that significantly reformed the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The TCJA reduces the corporate tax rate to 21 percent beginning with years starting January 1, 2018. Because a change in tax law is accounted for in the period of enactment, the deferred tax assets and liabilities have been adjusted to the newly enacted U.S. corporate rate, and the related impact to the tax expense has been recognized in the current year.
 
 
Deferred tax assets and (liabilities) consist of the following at December 31, 2017:

 
2017  
 
 
2016
 
Interest Income

Net Deferred Tax Asset
   
   
 
At December 31, 2017, the Company has federal net operating loss carry­forwards of approximately $4.7 million, which will begin to expire in 2037. The Maryland net operating loss carry­forwards of approximately $4.3 million will begin to expire in 2037. The full utilization of the deferred tax assets in the future is dependent upon the Company’s ability to generate taxable income;accordingly, a valuation allowance of an equal amount has been established.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
In connection with the preparation of our Report on Form 10-K, an evaluation was carried out by management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2017. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
During evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2017 conducted as part of our annual audit and preparation of our annual financial statements, management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operations of our disclosure controls and procedures and concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective for those reasons set forth below.
 
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements included in this annual report. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and reflect management’s judgment and estimates concerning effects of events and transactions that are accounted for or disclosed.
 
Management is also responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that pertain to our ability to record, process, summarize and report reliable data. Management recognizes that there are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of internal control. Accordingly, even effective internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement presentation. Further, because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting may vary over time.
 
In order to ensure that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, management regularly assesses controls and did so most recently for its financial reporting as of December 31, 2017. This assessment was based on criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting described in the Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) of the Treadway Commission. In connection with management’s evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017, management determined that the Company did not maintain effective controls over financial reporting due to limited staff with US GAAP and SEC Reporting experience. Management determined that the ineffective controls over financial reporting constitute a material weakness.
 
This annual report filed on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
As of September 30, 2017, we had a material weakness that related to the relatively small number of employees who had bookkeeping and accounting functions and therefore prevented us from segregating duties within our internal control system. There was a change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a15(f) and 15(d)15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarterly period ended December 31, 2017 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, as follows. As of December 29, 2017, the Company acquired SeD Home, and accordingly, expanded its staff to include additional employees who had bookkeeping and accounting functions.
 
We continue taking steps to enhance and improve the design of our internal controls over financial reporting. During the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we have not been able to completely remediate the material weaknesses identified above. To remediate such weaknesses, we plan to appoint additional qualified personnel to the audit committee with financial accounting, GAAP, and SEC experience.
