On December 7, 2017, Nova LifeStyle incorporated i Design Blockchain Technology, Inc. (“i Design”) under the laws of the State of California. The purpose of i Design is to build the Company’s own blockchain technology team. This company will focus on the application of blockchain technology in the furniture industry, including encouraging and facilitating interactions among designers and customers, and building a blockchain-powered platform that enables designers to showcase their products, including current and future furniture designs. This company is in the planning stage and has had minimal operations through June 30, 2025.
On December 12, 2019, Nova LifeStyle acquired Nova Malaysia at cost of $1.00 which was incorporated in Malaysia on July 26, 2019. The purpose of this acquisition was to market and sell high-end physiotherapeutic jade mats in Malaysia.
On January 7, 2020, the Company transferred its entire interest in Bright Swallow to Y-Tone (Worldwide) Limited, an unrelated third party, for cash consideration of $2,500,000, pursuant to a formal agreement entered into on January 7, 2020. The Company received the payment on May 11, 2020.
On October 14, 2020, the Macao Trade and Investment Promotion Institute invalidated licenses for offshore companies under an Order of Repeal of Legal Regime of the Offshore Services by Macao Special Administrative Region. Nova Macao then entered into a de-registration process and its business was taken over by Nova HK. Nova Macao completed the de-registration and liquidation process in January 2021.
On November 5, 2020, Nova LifeStyle acquired Nova HK at cost of $1,290 which was incorporated in Hong Kong on November 6, 2019.

Going Concern
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and following GAAP in the U.S. The going concern basis of presentation assumes that the Company will continue in operation one year after the date these financial statements are issued and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company incurred a net loss of $0.63 million and $2.03 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively; and $0.29 million and $0.56 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. In additions, The Company incurred an operating cash outflow of $0.23 million and $0.69 million, respectively for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. The accumulated deficit of the Company was $50.62 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. Continuation as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and pay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due and ultimately upon its ability to achieve profitable operations. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with any certainty at this time and raises substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern.
The Company has faced ongoing losses from operations, and significant cash outflows from cash used in operating activities in past years. The Company lacks assurance regarding its ability to achieve profitability or secure essential financing for its operations. Considering these principal conditions, the Company’s management has determined that it is probable the Company might encounter challenges in meeting its obligations within one year after the issuance of financial statements, primarily due to insufficient cash flow. Therefore, the Company must assess the probability that its plans will effectively alleviate the substantial doubt.
The Company management has the following plans to alleviate the substantial doubt: the Company will participate in four major U.S. furniture fairs every year to seek new customers to increase the Company’s sales. To augment diversified revenue streams, the Company’s subsidiary Nova Malaysia has engaged in the development of an innovative home decoration design IT software systems. The Company plans to raise money from the market to increase cash flow and investment capital.
