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, Inc. 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 31 to December 31, 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 ceased to be 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 became those operations that SeD Home is currently conducting, and may conduct in the future.
 
In connection with the acquisition of SeD Home, the Company appointed new officers and directors. Fai H. Chan and Moe T. Chan serve 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 Charles MacKenzie.
 
With the completion of the Company’s acquisition of SeD Home, we entered into 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 located 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 ten 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 Home 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 which is rented. 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, 2018, we had total assets of $48,600,709 and total liabilities of $13,733,045. Total assets as of December 31, 2017 were $58,166,606 and total liabilities were $24,561,292.

Employees
 
At the present time, the Company has four full time employees. Much of our work is done by contractors retained for projects, and at the present time we have no part time employees.
 
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 and are required to comply with certain due diligence procedures related to third party lenders.
 
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
 
Our Black Oak project is a 162-acre land infrastructure development and sub-division project situated in Magnolia, Texas north of Houston. 150 Black Oak, Ltd. was a partnership formed by our former partner prior to our investment in this project. Black Oak had contracts to purchase seven contiguous parcels of land. Our initial equity investment was US$4.3 million for ownership of 60% of the partnership. Upon this initial investment in February 2014, we changed the name of the partnership to 150 CCM Black Oak, Ltd (“Black Oak”) and subsequently increased our ownership to 69%. On July 23, 2018, SeD Development USA, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into two Partnership Interest Purchase Agreements through which it purchased an aggregate of 31% of Black Oak. Prior to the Partnership Interest Purchase Agreements, the Company owned and controlled Black Oak through its 68.5% limited partnership interest and its ownership of the General Partner, 150 Black Oak GP, Inc, a 0.5% owner in Black Oak. As a result of the purchase, the Company, through its subsidiaries, now owns 100% of Black Oak. 150 Black Oak GP, Inc., is wholly owned by SeD USA, LLC, which in turn is wholly owned by SeD Home. 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.
 
Black Oak was obligated, under the Limited Partnership Agreement (as amended) signed between previous limited partners of Black Oak, to pay a $6,500 per month management fee to Arete Real Estate and Development Company (Arete), and $2,000 per month to American Real Estate Investments LLC (AREI). Arete was also entitled to be paid a developer fee of 3% of all development costs excluding certain costs. The fees were to accrue until $1,000,000 in revenue and/or builder deposits relating to the Black Oak Project has received. On December 31, 2017, the Company had $314,630 owed to Arete and $48,000 to AREI in accounts payable and accrued expenses. On April 26, 2018, SeD Development USA, Arete and AREI reached an agreement to terminate the terms related to management fees and developer fees in the Limited Partnership Agreement. In July 2018, per the terms of the termination agreement, Black Oak LP paid Arete $300,000 and AREI $30,000 to fulfill the commitments. Following the termination of these agreements and the payments, no further management fees or developer fees have accrued or been paid.

In October 2015, the project obtained a $6.0 million construction loan from Revere High Yield Fund, LP. This loan was paid off in October of 2017. Currently the Black Oak project does not have any financing from third parties.
 
The site plan at Black Oak is being revised to allow for approximately 420-512 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. 
 
The estimated construction costs and completion date for each phase are as follows:
 
Black Oak
Estimated Construction Costs

Phase 1
$7,080,000
April 2019
Phase 2

On July 3, 2018, 150 CCM Black Oak Ltd. entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with Houston LD, LLC for the sale of 124 lots within the Black Oak project (the “Black Oak Purchase Agreement”). Pursuant to the Black Oak Purchase Agreement, it was agreed that 124 lots would be sold for a range of prices based on the lot type. In addition, Houston LD, LLC agreed to contribute a “community enhancement fee” for each lot, collectively totaling $310,000 which is held in escrow. 150 CCM Black Oak, Ltd. will apply these funds exclusively towards an amenity package on the property. The closing of the transactions contemplated by the Black Oak Purchase Agreement was subject to Houston LD, LLC completing due diligence to its satisfaction.
 
On July 20, 2018, Black Oak LP received $4,592,079 of district reimbursement for previous construction costs incurred in the land development. Of this amount, $1,650,000 will remain on deposit in the District’s Capital Projects Fund for the benefit of Black Oak LP and will be released upon receipt of the evidence of the: (a) execution of a purchase agreement between Black Oak LP and a home builder with respect to the Black Oak development and (b) of the completion, finishing and making ready for home construction of at least 105 unfinished lots in the Black Oak development. In 2018, $446,745 was released to reimburse the construction costs leaving a balance of $1,203,255 on December 31, 2018.
 
On October 12, 2018, 150 CCM Black Oak, Ltd. entered into an Amended and Restated Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Black Oak Purchase Agreement”) for these 124 lots. Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Black Oak Purchase Agreement, the purchase price remained at $6,175,000. 150 CCM Black Oak, Ltd. was required to meet certain closing conditions and the timing for the closing was extended.
 
On January 18, 2019, the sale of 124 lots at Black Oak was completed for $6,175,000 and the community enhancement fee equal to $310,000 was delivered to the escrow account.
 
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 $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.
 
 
 
6
 
 
 
SeD Maryland Development’s acquisition of the 197 acres was funded in part from a $5.6 million deposit from NVR Inc. (“NVR”). The balance of $10.05 million was derived from a total equity contribution of $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.
 
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 are 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 $1,200 and $500 for each single-family and townhome, respectively, sold to a third party. SeD Maryland also paid a fee of $50,000 after the sale of the parcel underlying the multi-family lots in August 2018.
 
This property is zoned for 443 entitled Residential Lots, 210 entitled Multifamily Units and 200 entitled continuing care retirement community 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 are presently seeking to revise the zoning of this property to include 479 entitled residential lots and 210 entitled multi-family units, with no entitled continuing care retirement community units. We anticipate that the completion of our involvement in this project will take approximately three years from the date of this Annual Report.
 
Revenue from Ballenger Run is anticipated to come from three main sources:
 
● The sale of 479 entitled and constructed residential lots to NVR;
● The sale of the lot for the 210 entitled multi-family units; and
● The sale of 479 front foot benefit assessments.
 
Revenues may be adversely impacted, if we fail to attain certain goals, meet certain conditions or if market prices for this development unexpectedly begin to drop.
 
The estimated construction costs and completion date for each phase are as follows:
 
Ballenger Run
Estimated Construction Costs
Expected Completion Date
Phase 1
$13,786,000

Phase 2
10,210,000
December 2019
Phase 3

September 2020
Phase 4
3,460,000
March 2020
Phase 5
1,690,000
December 2021
Total
$39,316,000
 
 
Financing from Union Bank (f/k/a The Bank of Hampton Roads, Shore Bank and Xenith 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 road improvements.
 
Expenses from Ballenger Run include, but are not 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 $55 and $56 million. We may also encounter expenses which we have not anticipated, or which are higher than presently anticipated.

This project will have five phases. The first phase has been completed and we are currently in the second phase for completion of this project.
 
The following chart describes the various phases of this project (the chart does not reflect our current attempt to revise the zoning at this project to reflect the addition of 36 villa lots to replace the 200 continuing care retirement community units originally planned):
 
 
Phase 1 construction of all infrastructure was completed in 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 and 2C plat recordation and construction began in June of 2018. Phase 2D construction began in September.
 
Sale of Residential Lots
 
The 479 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 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 survey, grading, utilities installation, paving, and other infrastructure and engineering. In the event NVR does 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.
 
The sale of 13 model lots to NVR began in May of 2017. 102 lots were sold in the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to 42 lots sold in the year ended December 31, 2017. NVR has started marketing houses and has commenced sales. 
 
Sale of Lots for the Multi-family Units
 
In June 2016, SeD Maryland entered into a lot purchase agreement with Orchard Development Corporation relating to the sale of 210 multifamily units in the Ballenger Run Project for a total purchase price of $5,250,000, which closed on August 7, 2018.
 
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. 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.
 
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.  
 
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.
 
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.
 
 
 
10
 
 
 
There are risks related to conflicts of interest with our partners in the Ballenger Run Project.
 
The Company owns the Ballenger Run Project with another LLC member. This entity is controlled, however, by the Company not only through the Company’s majority voting interest in such project, but also through the control of the entity responsible for such project’s day-to-day operations. The project will be dependent upon SeD Development Management LLC, a subsidiary of SeD Home, for the services required for its operations. The Company’s control of both the voting control of this project as well as the control of the entity responsible for the day to day interests of the project could create conflicts of interest between our Company and our partner in the project. SeD Maryland, the owner of the project, has no employees, and this project will be dependent upon SeD Development Management LLC and its affiliates for the services required for its operations.
 
The terms of the Management Agreement between SeD Maryland and SeD Development Management LLC were not negotiated at arm’s-length, although it was adopted by CNQC, the other member. Pursuant to the Management Agreement, the owners of SeD Maryland, SeD Ballenger and CNQC, have delegated the day-to-day operations of developing Ballenger Run to SeD Development Management, LLC.
 
Despite this delegation, potential conflict between CNQC and SeD Development Management, LLC regarding the management of day-to-day operations of Ballenger Run 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.
 
Fai H. Chan, one of our Co-Chief Executive Officers, is both an officer and director of Singapore eDevelopment, the entity which owns SeD Home International, Inc., our majority shareholder. Mr. Chan is involved in a number of other projects other than our Company’s real estate business and will continue to be so involved. Moe T. Chan is a consultant to Singapore eDevelopment and will also be involved in projects other than our Company’s real estate business. 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 projects. 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).
 
Since some members of our board of directors are not residents of the United States, shareholders may not be able to enforce a U.S. judgment for claims brought against such directors.
 
Several members of our senior management team, including our Co-Chief Executive Officers, have their primary residences and business offices in Asia, and some portion of the assets of these directors are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be more difficult for shareholders to enforce a lawsuit within the United States against these non-U.S. residents than if they were residents of the United States. Also, it may be more difficult for shareholders to enforce any judgment obtained in the United States against the assets of our non-U.S. resident management located outside the United States than if these assets were located within the United States. A foreign court may not enforce liabilities predicated on U.S. federal securities laws in original actions commenced in certain foreign jurisdictions, or judgments of U.S. courts obtained in actions based upon the civil liability provisions of U.S. federal securities laws.
 
Concentration of ownership of our common stock by our majority shareholder will limit other investors from influencing significant corporate decisions.
 
Our majority shareholder will be able to make decisions such as (i) making amendments to our certificate of incorporation and by-laws, (ii) whether to issue additional shares of common stock and preferred stock, (iii) employment decisions, including compensation arrangements, (iv) whether to enter into material transactions with related parties, (v) election and removal of directors and (vi) any merger or other significant corporate transactions. The interests of our majority shareholder may not coincide with the interests of other shareholders.
 
 
 
11
 
 
 
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 parent 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 we conduct business. Should the price of real estate decline in the areas in which we have purchased land, 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.
 
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.
 
 
 
12
 
 
 
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 or 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.
 
We have a concentration of revenue and credit risk with one customer.
 
We have been highly dependent on sales of residential lots to NVR. Pursuant to agreements between NVR and SeD Maryland Development, LLC, NVR will be the sole purchaser of 479 residential lots at our Ballenger project (subject to an increase in zoning approvals for the number of residential lots from 443 to 479). During 2018, we received $12.0 million in revenue from lot sales to NVR. Therefore, at the present time, a significant portion of our business depends largely on NVR’s continued relationship with us. A decision by NVR to discontinue or limit its relationship with us could have a material adverse impact on the Company.
 
 
 
13
 
 
 
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 shareholders 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 shareholders 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, shareholders will experience dilution of their 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, shareholders’ ownership will be diluted.
 
 
 
14
 
 
 
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.
 
Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.
 
Not Applicable.
 
Item 2. Properties.
 
Black Oak
 
The Black Oak property is located in Montgomery County in Magnolia, Texas. This property is located east of FM 2978 via Standard Road to Dry Creek Road and South of the Woodlands, one of the most successful, fastest growing master planned communities in Texas. This residential land development consists of approximately 450 lots on 162 acres. Black Oak LP is the primary developer responsible for all infrastructure development. This property is included in Harris County Improvement District #17.
 
Ballenger Run
 
Ballenger Run is a residential land development project located in Frederick County in Frederick, Maryland. This property is located approximately 40 miles from Washington, DC, 50 miles from Baltimore and is located less than four miles from I-70 and I-270. Ballenger Run is situated on approximately 197 acres of land and entitled for 853 residential units consisting of 443 residential Lots, 210 multi-family units and 200 age restricted units, however, we are presently seeking to revise the zoning of this property to include 479 entitled residential lots and 210 entitled multi-family units, with no entitled continuing care retirement community units. SeD Maryland Development, LLC is the primary developer responsible for all infrastructure development. SeD Maryland will pursue the required zoning approval to change the number of lots.
 
Development of Properties
 
At the present time, the Company is 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.
 
Office Space
 
At the present time, the Company is renting offices in Houston, Texas and Bethesda, Maryland through SeD Home. At the present time, our office space is sufficient for our operations as presently conducted, however, as we expand into new projects and into new areas of operations we anticipate that we will require additional office space.
 
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
 
The Company is not a party to any pending legal proceedings, and no such proceedings are known to be contemplated.
 
There are no material proceedings to which any director, officer or affiliate of the Company, or any owner of record or beneficially of more than five percent of any class of voting securities of the Company, or any associate of any such director, officer, affiliate of the Company, or security holder is a party adverse to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or has a material interest adverse to the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

Revenue
 
Revenue was $17,675,034 for the period ended December 31, 2018 as compared to $6,957,042 for the period ended December 31, 2017. This increase in revenue is primarily attributable to the Company having an increase in property sales from the Ballenger Project. We anticipate even higher level of revenue from sales in 2019. 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.
 
Income from the sale of Front Foot Benefits, assessed on Ballenger Run project lots, increased from $0 in the year ended December 31, 2017 to $413,613 in year ended December 31, 2018. The increase is a result of the increased sale of properties in 2018. The revenue is expected to further increase in 2019 as we sell more lots.
 
Rental income declined from $88,438 in the period ended December 31, 2017 to $8,730 in the period ended December 31, 2018 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 2019 if this remaining rental home is sold.
 
Operating Expenses
 
Cost of sales increased from $6,217,779 in the period ended December 31, 2017 to $ 15,641,324 in the period ended December 31, 2018. The Company had a gross margin of 12% in 2018 compared to 11% in 2017, as there have not been any significant changes to projected project costs.
 
The general and administrative expenses decreased from $1,118,540 for the period ended December 31, 2017 to $748,480 for the period ended December 31, 2018 due to a decrease in professional fees.
 
Net Income (Loss)
 
After a net loss of $249,769 for the period ended December 31, 2017, we had a net income of $1,322,350 for the period ended on December 31, 2018, in large part because of our increased property sales from our Ballenger project.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Our real estate assets have decreased to $43,764,545 of December 31, 2018 from $52,543,092 as of December 31, 2017. This decrease primarily reflects a higher increase in the cost of sales than in the capitalized costs related to the construction in progress. Our liabilities declined from $24,561,292 at December 31, 2017 to $13,733,045 at December 31, 2018. Our total assets have decreased to $48,600,709 as of December 31, 2018 from $58,166,606 as of December 31, 2017.
 
As of December 31, 2018, we had cash in the amount of $715,754, compared to $358,233 as of December 31, 2017. Our Ballenger Run revolver loan balance from Union Bank was $13,899 at December 31, 2018 and $8,132,020 at December 31, 2017 and the credit limit is $11 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 contract with NVR, the 2019 revenue from Ballenger project is expected to be approximately $17.2 million. The loan from Union Bank was repaid in January of 2019.
 
Currently the Black Oak project does not have any financing from third parties. On July 20, 2018, Black Oak was reimbursed $4,592,079 from the Harris County Improvement District 17 (“HC17”) for previous expenses incurred by Black Oak in the development and installation of infrastructure within the Black Oak project. 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.

 $3,014,903 
 
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
 
Cash flows from operating activities include costs related to assets which we plan to sell, such as land purchased for development and resale. In 2018, cash provided by operating activities was $12,209,666 compared with 2017, in which the cash we used was $2,688,056. The increased sales at our Ballenger project were the main reason for our increase of cash flows from operating activities. With the completion of Phase One of our Black Oak project, development speed was adjusted with our development funding conditions and development costs went down as well.
 
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
 
Cash flows used in investing activities include purchases of office fixture and computer equipment.
 
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
 
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 Union Bank for its land development. In 2018 SeD Maryland Development paid down the Union Bank loan by $8.3 million and Black Oak also paid back approximately $2.2 million of related party borrowings.

Seasonality
 
The real estate business is subject to seasonal shifts in costs as certain work in more likely to be performed 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, 2018, 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. Accordingly, actual results could differ from these estimates. The accounting policies that we deem most critical as follows:
 
Revenue Recognition and Cost of Sales
 
Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606"), establishes principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity's contracts to provide goods or services to customers. The Company adopted this new standard on January 1, 2018 under the modified retrospective method. The adoption did not have a material effect on our financial statements.
 
In accordance with ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled to receive in exchange for these goods or services. The provisions of ASC 606 include a five-step process by which we determine revenue recognition, depicting the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts reflecting the payment to which weexpect to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASC 606 requires us to apply the following steps: (1) identify the contract with the customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when, or as, we satisfy the performance obligation. A detailed breakdown of the five-step process for the revenue recognition of our Ballenger project, which was approximately all the revenue of the Company in 2018 and 2017, is as follows:
 
Identify the contract with a customer
 
The Company has signed agreements with the builders for developing the raw land to ready to build lots.  The contract has agreed upon prices, timelines, and specifications for what is to be provided.
 
Identify the performance obligations in the contract
 
Performance obligations of the company include delivering developed lots to the customer, which are required to meet certain specifications that are outlined in the contract. The customer inspects all lots prior to accepting title to ensure all specifications are met.
 
Determine the transaction price
 
The transaction price is fixed specified in the contract. Any subsequent change orders or price changes are required to be approved by both parties.
 
Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract
 
Each lot is considered to be a separate performance obligation, for which the specified price in the contract is allocated to. 
 
Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation
 
The builders do the inspections to make sure all conditions/requirements are met before taking title of lots. The Company recognizes revenue when title is transferred. The Company does not have further performance obligations once title is transferred.
 
Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities
 
Based on our contracts, we invoice customers once our performance obligations have been satisfied, at which point payment is unconditional. Accordingly, our contracts do not give rise to contract assets or liabilities under ASC 606. Accounts receivable are recorded when the right to consideration becomes unconditional. We disclose receivables from contracts with customers separately in the statement of financial position.
 
Cost of Sales
 
Land acquisition costs are allocated to each lot based on the 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.
 
 
 
19
 
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.

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, a project owned by SeD USA, LLC.
 
In addition to our annual assessment of potential triggering events in accordance with ASC 360, the Company applies a fair value-based impairment test to the net book value assets on an annual basis and on an interim basis if certain events or circumstances indicate that an impairment loss may have occurred. 
 
At December 31, 2017 and 2018, 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, 2018 and 2017, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2018, 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, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2018, 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.

All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Non–controlling interest represents the minority equity investment in the Company’s subsidiaries, plus the minority investors’ share of the net operating results and other components of equity relating to the non–controlling interest.
 
As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the aggregate non­controlling interest was $2,887,328 and $2,255,091, which are separately disclosed on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
 
On December 29, 2017, the Company, SeD Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly­owned 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”). 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.
 
 
 
27
 
 
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.
 
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.
 
Earnings (Loss) per Share
 
Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to the common stockholders by weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Fully diluted income (loss) per share is computed similar to basic income (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, 2018 or 2017.
 
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, 2018 and 2017.
 
Restricted Cash
 
As a condition to the loan agreement with the Union Bank (formerly known as Xenith Bank, f/k/a The Bank of Hampton Roads), the Company 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. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the balance of the account was $2,726,154 and $2,656,670, respectively.
 
On July 20, 2018, Black Oak LP received $4,592,079 of district reimbursement for previous construction costs incurred in the land development. Of this amount, $1,650,000 will remain on deposit in the District’s Capital Projects Fund for the benefit of Black Oak LP and will be released upon receipt of the evidence of the: (a) execution of a purchase agreement between Black Oak LP and a home builder with respect to the Black Oak development and (b) of the completion, finishing and making ready for home construction of at least 105 unfinished lots in the Black Oak development. In 2018, $446,745 was released to reimburse the construction costs leaving a balance of $1,203,256 on December 31, 2018.
 
 
 
 
28
 
 
 
Accounts Receivable
 
Accounts receivable include all receivables from buyers, contractors and all other parties. The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts based on a review of the outstanding receivables, historical collection information and economic conditions. No allowance was necessary at December 31, 2018 and 2017.
 
Property and Equipment and Depreciation
 
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 $409,005 and $211,005 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The Company capitalized interest from the third-party borrowings of $245,844 and $1,008,220 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, 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.
 
In addition to our annual assessment of potential triggering events in accordance with ASC 360, the Company applies a fair value-based impairment test to the net book value assets on an annual basis and on an interim basis if certain events or circumstances indicate that an impairment loss may have occurred.
 
As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, there was no impairment recognized for any of the projects.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606"), establishes principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity's contracts to provide goods or services to customers. The Company adopted this new standard on January 1, 2018 under the modified retrospective method. The adoption did not have a material effect on our financial statements.
 
In accordance with ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled to receive in exchange for these goods or services. The provisions of ASC 606 include a five-step process by which we determine revenue recognition, depicting the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts reflecting the payment to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASC 606 requires us to apply the following steps: (1) identify the contract with the customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when, or as, we satisfy the performance obligation. A detailed breakdown of the five-step process for the revenue recognition of our Ballenger project, which was approximately all the revenue of the Company in 2018 and 2017, is as follows:
 
 
 
29
 
 
 
Identify the contract with a customer
 
The Company has signed agreements with the builders for developing the raw land to ready to build lots. The contract has agreed upon prices, timelines, and specifications for what is to be provided.
 
Identify the performance obligations in the contract
 
Performance obligations of the company include delivering developed lots to the customer, which are required to meet certain specifications that are outlined in the contract. The customer inspects all lots prior to accepting title to ensure all specifications are met.
 
Determine the transaction price
 
The transaction price is fixed and specified in the contract. Any subsequent change orders or price changes are required to be approved by both parties.
 
Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract
 
Each lot is considered to be a separate performance obligation, for which the specified price in the contract is allocated to.
 
Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation
  
The builders do the inspections to make sure all conditions/requirements are met before taking title of lots. The Company recognizes revenue when title is transferred. The Company does not have further performance obligations once title is transferred.
 
Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities
 
Based on our contracts, we invoice customers once our performance obligations have been satisfied, at which point payment is unconditional. Accordingly, our contracts do not give rise to contract assets or liabilities under ASC 606. Accounts receivable are recorded when the right to consideration becomes unconditional. We disclose receivables from contracts with customers separately in the statement of financial position.
 
Cost of Sales
 
Land acquisition costs are allocated to each lot based on the 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.
 
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.
 
 
 
30
 
 
 
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 2018, 2017, 2016 and 2015 remain open to examination.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (ASU 2016-18), which requires that restricted cash and cash equivalents be included as components of total cash and cash equivalents as presented on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 was effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017 and a retrospective transition method is required. This guidance did not impact financial results, but resulted in a change in the presentation of restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents within the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted this guidance in the 2018 and 2017 Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
 
On February 25, 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (the Update). This ASU requires an entity to recognize a right-of-use asset (“ROU”) and lease liability for all leases with terms of more than 12 months. The amendments also require certain quantitative and qualitative disclosures about leasing arrangements. Leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement. The new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. While the Company continues to assess all of the effects of adoption, it currently believes the most significant effects relate to: the recognition of new ROU assets and lease liabilities on its balance sheet for one of our office rental leases. The Company does not expect a significant change in its leasing activities between now and adoption. On adoption, the Company currently expects to recognize operating lease liabilities less than $200,000 with corresponding ROU assets of the same amount based on the present value of the remaining rental payments for our Bethesda Office lease on the consolidated balance sheet.
 
In May 2014, the FASB issued accounting standard update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASU 2014-09”). The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers 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. In doing so, companies will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under previous guidance. This may include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. In July 2015, the FASB approved the proposal to defer the effective date of ASU 2014-09 standard by one year. Early adoption was permitted after December 15, 2016, and the standard became effective for public entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods therein. In 2016, the FASB issued final amendments to clarify the implementation guidance for principal versus agent considerations (ASU No. 2016-08), accounting for licenses of intellectual property and identifying performance obligations (ASU No. 2016-10), narrow-scope improvements and practical expedients (ASU No. 2016-12) and technical corrections and improvements to ASU 2014-09 (ASU No. 2016-20) in its new revenue standard. The Company has performed a review of the requirements of the new revenue standard and is monitoring the activity of the FASB and the transition resource group as it relates to specific interpretive guidance. The Company reviewed customer contracts, applied the five-step model of the new standard to its contracts, and compared the results to its current accounting practices. The adoption of this standard required increased disclosures related to the disaggregation of revenue.
 
In March 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-05, “Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Amendments to SEC paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 118.” ASU 2018-05 amends the Accounting Standards Codification to incorporate various SEC paragraphs pursuant to the issuance of SAB 118, which addresses the application of generally accepted accounting principles in situations when a registrant does not have necessary information available, prepared, or analyzed (including computation) in reasonable detail to complete the accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The ASU does not have material impact on the Company.
 
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, Reporting Comprehensive Income - Reclassification of Certain tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income to help businesses present some effects form the Tax Act's reduction in the corporate tax rate in their income statements. ASU 2018-02 gives the option of reclassifying what are called the “stranded” tax effects within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to retained earnings (deficit) during each fiscal year or quarter in which the effect of the lower tax rate is recorded. ASU 2018-02 instructs businesses to provide a disclosure in their financial statement footnotes that describes the accounting policy they used to release the income tax effects form accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), whether they are reclassifying the stranded income tax effects from the Tax Act, and information about the other effects on taxes from the reclassification. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and the interim periods in those years, and early adoption is permitted. We are evaluating the impact on the Company.

The Comapany’s Ballenger project only has two purchasers: NVR Inc. (“NVR”), a NYSE publicly listed US homebuilding and mortgage company, is the only purchaser of 479 residential lots of Ballenger project; Orchard Development Corporation is the purchaser of the parcel of 210 multifamily units. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company earned revenues from property sales from these two customers representing approximately 70% and 30%, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company earned revenues from property sales from these two customers representing approximately 100% and 0% of gross sales, respectively. As of December 31, 2018, no accounts receivable was outstanding from these two customers.

BUILDER DEPOSITS
 
In November 2015, SeD Maryland Development, LLC (“Maryland”) entered into lot purchase agreements with NVR, Inc. (“NVR”) relating to the sale of single-family home and townhome lots to NVR in the Ballenger Run Project. The purchase agreements were amended two times thereafter. Based on the agreements, NVR is entitled to purchase 479 lots for a price of approximately $64 million over a 21-year period, which escalates 3% annually after June 1, 2018.
 
As part of the agreements, NVR provided was required to give a deposit in the amount of $5,600,000. Upon the sale of lots to NVR, 9.9% of the purchase price is taken from the deposit. A violation of the agreements by NVR would cause NVR to forfeit the deposit. On December 31, 2018 and 2017, there was $3,878,842 and $5,056,718 outstanding, respectively.
 
Black Oak LP received a deposit of $300,000 from Lexington 26 LP (Colina), a building company located in Texas. On December 31, 2018 and 2017, there was $0 and $300,000 outstanding, respectively.

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.

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 Officers and Chief Financial Officers, 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, 2018. 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 Officers and Chief Financial Officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
During evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2018 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, 2018. 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, 2018, 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
  
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.

Policies and Procedures for Transactions with Related Persons
 
Our board of directors intends to adopt a written related person transaction policy to set forth the policies and procedures for the review and approval or ratification of related person transactions. Related persons include any executive officer, director or a holder of more than 5% of our common stock, including any of their immediate family members and any entity owned or controlled by such persons. Related person transactions refer to any transaction, arrangement or relationship, or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships in which (i) we were or are to be a participant, (ii) the amount involved exceeds $120,000, and (iii) a related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest. Related person transactions include, without limitation, purchases of goods or services by or from the related person or entities in which the related person has a material interest, indebtedness, guarantees of indebtedness, and employment by us of a related person, in each case subject to certain exceptions set forth in Item 404 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act.
 
We expect that the policy will provide that in any related person transaction, our audit committee and board of directors will consider all of the available material facts and circumstances of the transaction, including: the direct and indirect interests of the related persons; in the event the related person is a director (or immediate family member of a director or an entity with which a director is affiliated), the impact that the transaction will have on a director’s independence; the risks, costs and benefits of the transaction to us; and whether any alternative transactions or sources for comparable services or products are available. After considering all such facts and circumstances, our audit committee and board of directors will determine whether approval or ratification of the related person transaction is in our best interests. For example, if our audit committee determines that the proposed terms of a related person transaction are reasonable and at least as favorable as could have been obtained from unrelated third parties, it will recommend to our board of directors that such transaction be approved or ratified. Our audit committee will recommend that our board of directors reject any transaction if it could affect our ability to comply with securities laws and regulations.

The proposed acquisition purchase price would be at SeD Home's cost.
