Revenue

Revenue was $4,584,542 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to $2,047,405 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Revenue was $8,478,673 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to $5,001,794 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. This increase in revenue is caused by an increase in property sales from the Ballenger project in the first half of 2021. In this project, builders are required to purchase a minimum number of lots based on their applicable sale agreements. We collect revenue only from the sale of lots to builders. We are not involved in the construction of homes at the present time.

Income from the sale of Front Foot Benefits ("FFBs"), assessed on Ballenger project lots, increased from $74,879 in the three months ended June 30, 2020 to $141,575 in the three months ended June 30, 2021. Income from the sale of FFBs increased from $115,202 in the six months ended June 30, 2020 to $248,646 in the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase is a mixed result of the increased sale of properties to homebuyers in 2021 and sale of FFBs of a higher value.

In second quarter of 2021, the Company started renting homes to tenants. Revenue from rental business was $21,947 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. The company expects that the revenue from this business will continue to increase as we acquire more rental houses and successfully rent them.

On February 11, 2021, the Company entered into a term note with M&T Bank with a principal amount of $68,502 pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP Term Note") under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act"). The PPP Loan is evidenced by a promissory note. The PPP Term Note bears interest at a fixed annual rate of 1.00%, with the first sixteen months of principal and interest deferred or until we apply for the loan forgiveness. The PPP Term Note may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an event of default.

The PPP Term Note is unsecured and guaranteed by the United States Small Business Administration. The Company may apply to M&T Bank for forgiveness of the PPP Term Note, with the amount which may be forgiven equal to at least 60% of payroll costs and other eligible payments incurred by the Company, calculated in accordance with the terms of the CARES Act. At this time, we are not in a position to quantify the portion of the PPP Term Note that will be forgiven.

On March 15 and May 11, 2021 Alset EHome, Inc. signed all together thirty separate Purchase Agreements to acquire 30 homes in Montgomery County, Texas.

The development will be step by step and expenses will be contingent on the amount of funding we will receive.
