NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF MARCH 31, 2022
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS
Organization
Investview, Inc. was incorporated on January 30, 1946, under the laws of the state of Utah as the Uintah Mountain Copper Mining Company. In January 2005, we changed domicile to Nevada and changed our name to Voxpath Holding, Inc. In September of 2006, we merged with The Retirement Solution Inc. and then changed our name to TheRetirementSolution.Com, Inc. Subsequently, in October 2008 we changed our name to Global Investor Services, Inc., before changing our name to Investview, Inc., on March 27, 2012.
Effective April 1, 2017, we closed on a Contribution Agreement with the members of Wealth Generators, LLC, a limited liability company (“Wealth Generators”), pursuant to which the Wealth Generators members contributed % of the outstanding securities of Wealth Generators in exchange for an aggregate of shares of our common stock. Following this transaction, Wealth Generators became our wholly owned subsidiary and the former members of Wealth Generators became our stockholders and controlled the majority of our outstanding common stock.
On June 6, 2017, we entered into an Acquisition Agreement with Market Trend Strategies, LLC, a company whose members are also former members of our management. Under the Acquisition Agreement, we spun-off our operations that existed prior to the merger with Wealth Generators and sold the intangible assets used in those pre-merger operations in exchange for Market Trend Strategies’ assumption of $419,139 in pre-merger liabilities.
On February 28, 2018, we filed a name change for Wealth Generators, LLC to Kuvera, LLC (“Kuvera”).
On July 20, 2018, we entered into a Purchase Agreement with United Games Marketing LLC, a Utah limited liability company, to purchase its wholly owned subsidiaries United Games, LLC and United League, LLC for shares of our common stock (see Note 5).
On December 30, 2018, our wholly owned subsidiary S.A.F.E. Management, LLC received its registration and disclosure approval from the National Futures Association. S.A.F.E. Management, LLC is now a New Jersey State Registered Investment Adviser, Commodities Trading Advisor, Commodity Pool Operator, and approved for over-the-counter FOREX advisory services.
On January 17, 2019, we renamed our non-operating wholly owned subsidiary WealthGen Global, LLC to SAFETek, LLC, a Utah limited liability company.
On January 11, 2021, we filed a name change for Kuvera, LLC to iGenius, LLC (“iGenius”) and on February 2, 2021, we filed a name change for Kuvera (N.I.) Limited to iGenius Global LTD.
On September 20, 2021, the Board of Directors approved a change in our fiscal year from March 31 to December 31.
Nature of Business
We operate a financial technology (FinTech) services company in several different businesses. We deliver multiple products and services through a direct selling network, also known as multi-level marketing, of independent distributors that offer our products and services through a subscription-based revenue model to our distributors, as well as by our distributors to a large base of customers that we refer to as “members”. Through this business, we provide research, education, and investment tools designed to assist the self-directed investor in successfully navigating the financial markets. These services include research and trade alerts regarding equities, options, FOREX, ETFs, binary options, and cryptocurrency sector education. In addition to trading tools and research, we also offer full education and software applications to assist the individual in debt reduction, increased savings, budgeting, and proper tax management. Each product subscription includes a core set of trading tools and research along with the personal finance management suite to provide an individual with complete access to the information necessary to cultivate and manage his or her financial situation. In addition to our education subscriptions, through a distribution arrangement we have with a third party, we have provided our members with an opportunity to purchase through such third party, a specialty form of adaptive digital currency called “ndau”. Through our direct selling model, we reward our distributors with commissions under a standard bonus plan that allows for discretionary bonuses based on performance.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF MARCH 31, 2022
(Unaudited)
We also operate a blockchain technology business that provides leading-edge research, development, and FinTech services involving the management of digital asset technologies with a focus on Bitcoin mining and the new generation of digital assets. As well, in order to, among other things, commercialize on the proprietary trading platform we recently acquired from MPower Trading Systems, LLC, take advantage of the market’s increasing acceptance and expansion of the ownership and use of digital currencies as an investable asset class, subject to applicable regulatory limitations, and to proactively respond to increasing regulatory scrutiny relative to cryptocurrency products, we have adopted a growth plan that contemplates the establishment of a suite of financial service companies that will include self-directed brokerage services, institutional trade execution services, innovative advisory services (RIA, CTA), and codeless algorithmic trading technologies, which will operate under our recently formed subsidiary, Investview Financial Group Holdings, LLC (“IFGH”). Towards that end, we have entered into an agreement to acquire the LevelX brokerage firm from an affiliate of the former Chief Executive Officer of the Company. However, the closing of that transaction is contingent upon securing FINRA approval which has not yet been obtained. If FINRA approval is not shortly forthcoming, we are likely to abandon the LevelX acquisition and search for alternative acquisitions within the brokerage industry. Further, our wholly owned subsidiary, SAFE Management, LLC (“SAFE Management”), owns a currently dormant registered investment advisor and a commodity trading advisor registered with the National Futures Association (NFA). However, we plan to relaunch its services under the IFGH umbrella in 2022 to primarily focus on commodities and FOREX.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
Our policy is to prepare our financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Prior to September 20, 2021 we operated the Company on a March 31, fiscal year end. Effective September 30, 2021 we changed our fiscal year to December 31.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations (Regulation S-X) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that may be expected for the filing of our December 31, 2022 Form 10-K. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2021 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Investview, Inc., and our wholly owned subsidiaries: iGenius, LLC (formerly Kuvera, LLC), Kuvera France S.A.S (through its closure date in June of 2021), Apex Tek, LLC (formerly Razor Data, LLC), SAFETek, LLC (formerly WealthGen Global, LLC), S.A.F.E. Management, LLC, United Games, LLC, United League, LLC, Investment Tools & Training, LLC, iGenius Global LTD (formerly Kuvera (N.I.) LTD), Investview Financial Group Holdings, LLC, and Investview MTS, LLC. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Financial Statement Reclassification
Certain account balances from prior periods have been reclassified in these consolidated financial statements to conform to current period classifications.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

We have consolidated the accounts of Kuvera France S.A.S. into our consolidated financial statements. The operations of Kuvera France S.A.S. were conducted in France through its closure date in June of 2021 and its functional currency is the Euro. Subsequent to June 2021 we maintained a Euro bank account in France that had minimal transactions.
Prior to June 2021, the financial statements of Kuvera France S.A.S. were prepared using their functional currency and were translated into U.S. dollars (“USD”). Assets and liabilities were translated into USD at the applicable exchange rates at period-end. Stockholders’ equity was translated using historical exchange rates. Revenue and expenses were translated at the average exchange rates for the period. Any translation adjustments were included as foreign currency translation adjustments in accumulated other comprehensive income in our stockholders’ equity (deficit).
Subsequent to June 2021, we translated all transactions in our Euro bank account into USD and translated the ending bank balance into USD at the applicable exchange rate at period-end.
The following rates were used to translate our Euro bank account into USD at the following balance sheet dates.

Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially expose us to concentration of credit risk include cash, accounts receivable, and advances. We place our cash and temporary cash investments with credit quality institutions. At times, such investments may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit of $250,000. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, cash balances that exceeded FDIC limits were $23,637,360 and $19,336,350, respectively. We have not experienced significant losses relating to these concentrations in the past.
Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
For purposes of reporting cash flows, we consider all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had no cash equivalents.
The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported within the balance sheet that sum to the total of the same such amounts shown in the statement of cash flows.

Receivables
Receivables are carried at net realizable value, representing the outstanding balance less an allowance for doubtful accounts based on a review of all outstanding amounts. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by regularly evaluating individual receivables and receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of receivables previously written off are recorded when received. We had an allowance for doubtful accounts of $719,342 as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. When retired or otherwise disposed, the carrying value and accumulated depreciation of the fixed asset is removed from its respective accounts and the net difference less any amount realized from disposition is reflected in earnings. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs which do not extend the useful lives of the related assets are expensed as incurred.
Fixed assets were made up of the following at each balance sheet date:
Estimated Useful Life (years) | March 31, 2022 | December 31, 2021 | ||||||||
Furniture, fixtures, and equipment | 10 | $ | 82,942 | $ | 82,942 | |||||

Net book value | $ | 11,785,127 | $ | 6,682,877 |
Total depreciation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, was $909,955 and $659,179, respectively. During the quarter ended March 31, 2022 we sold assets with a total net book value of $4,008 for cash of $28,308, therefore recognized a gain on disposal of assets of $24,300.
Long-Lived Assets – Intangible Assets & License Agreement
We account for our cryptocurrencies, intangible assets and long-term license agreement in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 350-30, General Intangibles Other Than Goodwill, and ASC Subtopic 360-10-05, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. ASC Subtopic 350-30 requires assets to be measured based on the fair value of the consideration given or the fair value of the assets (or net assets) acquired, whichever is more clearly evident and, thus, more reliably measurable. Our cryptocurrencies are deemed to have an indefinite useful life; therefore, amounts are not amortized, but rather are assessed for impairment as further discussed in our impairment policy. Under ASC Subtopic 350-30 any intangible asset with a useful life is required to be amortized over that life and the useful life is to be evaluated every reporting period to determine whether events or circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization. If the estimate of useful life is changed the remaining carrying amount of the intangible asset is amortized prospectively over the revised remaining useful life. Costs of internally developing, maintaining, or restoring intangible assets are recognized as an expense when incurred.
We hold cryptocurrency-denominated assets and include them in our consolidated balance sheet as other assets. The value of our cryptocurrencies as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were $2,359,591 ($2,229,943 current and $129,648 restricted long term) and $2,141,093 ($2,018,324 current and $122,769 restricted long term), respectively. Cryptocurrencies purchased or received for payment from customers are recorded in accordance with ASC 350-30 and cryptocurrencies awarded to the Company through its mining activities ($3,576,973 and $8,337,359 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively) are accounted for in connection with the Company’s revenue recognition policy. The use of cryptocurrencies is accounted for in accordance with the first in first out method of accounting. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 we recorded realized gains (losses) on our cryptocurrency transactions of $(182,789) and $524,212, respectively.
In June of 2018 we purchased United Games, LLC and United League, LLC and recorded the transaction as a business combination. Intangible assets acquired in the business combination were recorded at fair value on the date of acquisition and were being amortized on a straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. The intangible assets were impaired during the year ended March 31, 2021 due to a lack of recoverability.

AS OF MARCH 31, 2022
(Unaudited)
On March 22, 2021, we entered into Securities Purchase Agreement to acquire the operating assets and intellectual property rights of MPower Trading Systems LLC, a company controlled and partially owned by David B. Rothrock and James R. Bell, two of our board members (see NOTE 12). As a result, we obtained Prodigio, a proprietary software-based trading platform with applications within the brokerage industry, which was valued at $7,240,000 and recorded on our balance sheet as an intangible asset. The intangible asset will have a definite life, however, as of the date of this filing the software has not yet been placed in service, therefore a useful life had not yet been determined and no amortization was recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
We have adopted ASC Subtopic 360-10, Property, Plant and Equipment (“ASC 360-10”). ASC 360-10 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by the Company be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable or when the historical cost carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. Events relating to recoverability may include significant unfavorable changes in business conditions, recurring losses, or a forecasted inability to achieve break-even operating results over an extended period.
We evaluate the recoverability of long-lived assets based upon future net cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition. Should impairment in value be indicated, the carrying value of intangible assets will be adjusted and an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset’s carrying value and fair value or disposable value.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2022 no impairment was recorded. During the quarter ended March 31, 2021 we impaired our intangible assets with a cost basis of $991,000 due to the lack of recoverability. We had recorded accumulated depreciation and accumulated amortization of $456,562 for the impaired assets through the date of impairment, therefore we recorded impairment expense of $534,438 for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, based on our principal or, in the absence of a principal, most advantageous market for the specific asset or liability.
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles provide for a three-level hierarchy of inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value, defined as follows:
Level 1: | Inputs that are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity can access. | |
Level 2: | Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability, including: |
- | quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; | |
- | quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; | |
- | inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and | |
- | inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. |
Level 3: | Inputs that are unobservable and reflect management’s own assumptions about the inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances (e.g., internally derived assumptions surrounding the timing and amount of expected cash flows). |
Our financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and debt. We have determined that the book value of our outstanding financial instruments as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, approximates the fair value due to their short-term nature or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates.

Revenue Recognition
Subscription Revenue
Most of our revenue is generated by subscription sales and payment is received at the time of purchase. We recognize subscription revenue in accordance with ASC 606-10 where revenue is measured based on a consideration specified in a contract with a customer and recognized when we satisfy the performance obligation specified in each contract. Our performance obligation is to provide services over a fixed subscription period; therefore, we recognize revenue ratably over the subscription period and deferred revenue is recorded for the portion of the subscription period subsequent to each reporting date. Additionally, we offer a designated trial period to first time subscription customers, during which a full refund can be requested if a customer does not wish to continue with the subscription. Revenues are deferred during the trial period as collection is not probable until that time has passed. Revenues are presented net of refunds, sales incentives, credits, and known and estimated credit card chargebacks. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 our deferred revenues were $3,293,498 and $3,288,443, respectively.
Mining Revenue
Through our wholly owned subsidiary, SAFETek, LLC, we leased equipment under a sales-type lease through June of 2020. In June of 2020 we cancelled all leases and purchased all of the rights and obligations under the leases, which included obtaining ownership of all equipment. We use the equipment on blockchain networks to validate and add blocks of transactions to blockchain ledgers (commonly referred to as “mining”). As compensation for mining we are issued fees from processors and/or block rewards that are newly created cryptocurrency units granted to us. Our mining activities constitute our ongoing major and central operations of SAFETek, LLC. Because we do not have contracts, nor do we have customers associated with our mining revenue, we recognize revenue when fees and/or rewards are settled, or ultimately granted to us as a result of our mining activities.
Cryptocurrency Revenue
We generate revenue from the sale of cryptocurrency packages to our customers through an arrangement with third-party suppliers. The various packages include different amounts of coin with differing rates of returns and terms and, in some cases, include a product protection option that allows the purchaser to protect their initial purchase price. The protection allows the purchaser to obtain 50% of their purchase price at five years or 100% of their purchase price at ten years. Both the coin and the protection option are delivered by third-party suppliers.
We recognize cryptocurrency revenue in accordance with ASC 606-10 where revenue is measured based on a consideration specified in a contract with a customer and recognized when we satisfy the performance obligation specified in each contract. Our performance obligation is to arrange for the third-parties to provide coin and protection (if applicable) to our customers and payment is received from our customers at the time of order placement. All customers are given two weeks to request a refund, therefore we record a customer advance on our balance sheet upon receipt of payment. After the two weeks have passed from order placement, we request our third-party suppliers to deliver coin and protection (if applicable), at which time we recognize revenue and the amounts due to our suppliers on our books. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 our customer advances related to cryptocurrency revenue were $249,433 and $75,702, respectively.

Fee Revenue
We generate fee revenue from our customers through SAFE Management, our subsidiary licensed as a Registered Investment Advisor and Commodities Trading Advisor. We recognize fee revenue in accordance with ASC 606-10 where revenue is measured based on a consideration specified in a contract with a customer and recognized when we satisfy the performance obligation specified in each contract. Our performance obligation is to deliver fully managed trading services to individuals who do not meet the requirements of Qualified Investors and who lack the time to trade for themselves. We recognize fee revenue as our performance obligation is met and we receive payment for such advisory fees in the month following recognition.

Income Taxes
Income taxes are recorded in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statement or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities, including operating losses and credit carryforwards, using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.
Management judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes, our deferred tax assets and liabilities, and any valuation allowance recorded against our deferred tax assets. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the consideration of all available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Changes in assumptions in future periods may require we adjust our valuation allowance, which could materially impact our financial position and results of operations. The company recognizes the benefit of an uncertain tax position that it has taken or expects to take on its income tax return, if such a position is more likely than not to be sustained.
We follow ASC subtopic 260-10, Earnings per Share (“ASC 260-10”), which specifies the computation, presentation, and disclosure requirements of earnings per share information. Basic income (loss) per share has been calculated based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted income (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted during the period. Dilutive securities having an anti-dilutive effect on diluted earnings per share are excluded from the calculation.
The following table illustrates the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, where no potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the computation:

Diluted income per common share | $ | 0.00 | $ | 0.00 |
Lease Obligation
We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in the operating lease right-of-use asset account, the operating lease liability, current account, and the operating lease liability, long term account in our balance sheet. Right-of-use assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease.
Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. For leases in which the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. We have elected to not apply the recognition requirements of ASC 842 to short-term leases (leases with terms of twelve months or less). Lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for operating lease arrangements is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We have elected the practical expedient and will not separate non-lease components from lease components and will instead account for each separate lease component and non-lease component associated with the lease components as a single lease component.
Inventory
Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method and is inclusive of any shipping and tax costs.
Inventory was made up of the following at each balance sheet date:

At inception we recorded a debt discount of $446,000 representing the difference between the cash received and the total amount to be repaid. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 we recognized the remaining $259,678 of the debt discount into interest expense and repaid the remaining $340,000 of the debt. |

[5] | Effective March 30, 2021 we restructured a $1,000,000 promissory note with $200,000 of accrued interest, along with a $350,000 short-term advance, with Joseph Cammarata, our then Chief Executive Officer. The new note had a principal balance of $1,550,000, had a 5% interest rate, and was convertible at $0.02 per share. As a result of the fixed conversion price we recorded a beneficial conversion feature and debt discount of $1,550,000 on March 30, 2021, which was equal to the face value of the note. Effective September 21, 2021 we entered into an amendment to the note to extend the due date to September 30, 2022, allow for partial conversions, and change the conversion price to $0.008 per share. As the terms of the note changed substantially, we accounted for the amendment as an extinguishment and new note. Through September 21, 2021 we recognized $738,904 of the initial debt discount into interest expense, removed $806,849 of the remaining debt discount from the books, recorded a beneficial conversion feature due to the fixed conversion price and a debt discount of $1,550,000, which was equal to the face value of the amended note, and recorded a net $743,151 into additional paid in capital as a gain due to the extinguishment transaction being between related parties and thus a capital transaction. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 we recognized the remaining $1,131,417 of the $1,550,000 debt discount into interest expense. Also, during the three months ended March 31, 2022 we expensed $19,626 of interest expense on the debt. During February 2022, we provided 30 days’ notice of our intent to retire and repay the Cammarata Note in cash. Having not timely received a properly executed conversion notice within the proscribed period, and citing certain other damages incurred by us arising from Mr. Cammarata’s legal proceedings, on March 30, 2022, we tendered to Mr. Cammarata cash payment in full for the Cammarata Note. As of the date of this filing, Mr. Cammarata has not yet accepted our tender of the cash payment, and instead has asserted his entitlement to exercise his right to convert the Cammarata Note into our common shares (see NOTE 13). |
[6] | On March 22, 2021, we entered into Securities Purchase Agreements to purchase 100% of the operating assets of SSA Technologies LLC, an entity that owns and operates a FINRA-registered broker-dealer. SSA is controlled and partially owned by Joseph Cammarata, our former Chief Executive Officer. Commencing upon execution of the agreements and through the closing of the transactions, we agreed to provide certain transition service arrangements to SSA. In connection with the transactions, we entered into a Working Capital Promissory Note with SSA under which SSA was to have advanced to us up to $1,500,000 before the end of 2021; however, SSA has only provided advances of $1,200,000 to date. The note bears interest at the rate of 0.11% per annum therefore we recognized $330 worth of interest expense on the loan during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The note was due and payable by January 31, 2022; however, has not yet been repaid as we consider our legal options in light of SSA’s failure to complete its funding obligations. The note was to have been secured by the pledge of 12,000,000 shares of our common stock; however, it remains unsecured as the pledge of shares was not implemented at the closing of the loan. |
In addition to the above-mentioned related-party lending arrangements, during the three months ended March 31, 2022 we entered into a Separation and Release Agreement (the “Separation Agreements”) with Mario Romano and Annette Raynor, two of the Company’s founders and former members of management and the Board of Directors, and Wealth Engineering, LLC, an affiliate of Mr. Romano and Ms. Raynor. Under the Separation Agreements, Mr. Romano and Ms. Raynor agreed to resign their positions as officers and directors of the Company effective immediately as they each transition to the roles of strategic advisors to the Company. In conjunction with the Separation Agreements Mr. Romano and Ms. Raynor forfeited 1,724,008, which was paid to federal and state taxing authorities on behalf of Wealth Engineering, LLC as payment for the estimated federal and state taxes that Wealth Engineering, LLC may be subject to in connection with the vesting of Company restricted shares that vested on July 22, 2021 (see NOTE 9). shares each, which were returned to the Company and cancelled, and we repurchased a total of shares from Mr. Romano and Ms. Raynor in exchange for cash of $

[2] | During the year ended March 31, 2021 we entered into notes with third parties for $19,089,500 in exchange for the cancellation of APEX leases previously entered into, which resulted in our purchase of all rights and obligations under the leases. We agreed to settle a portion of the debt during the year ended March 31, 2021, at a discount to the original note terms offered, by making lump sum payments, issuing shares of our common stock, issuing shares of our preferred stock, and issuing cryptocurrency. The remaining notes are all due December 31, 2024 and have a fixed monthly payment that is equal to 75% of the face value of the note, divided by 48 months.

The fair value of the consideration at the if-converted market value of the common shares was $58.9 million based on the closing market price of $ on the closing date of September 3, 2021 as discounted from $86.6 million by 32% (or $27.7 million) to reflect the significant lock up period.
NOTE 10 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal Proceedings
In the ordinary course of business, we may be, or have been, involved in legal proceedings. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 we were not involved in any material legal proceedings, however, during November 2021 we received a subpoena from the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for the production of documents. We have reason to believe that the focus of the SEC’s inquiry involves whether certain federal securities laws were violated in connection with, among other things, the offer and sale of cryptocurrency products and the operation of our subscription-based multi-level marketing business now known as iGenius. In the subpoena, the SEC advised that the investigation does not mean that the SEC has concluded that we or anyone else has violated federal securities laws and or any other law. We believe that we have complied at all times with the federal securities laws. However, we are aware of the evolving SEC commentary and rulemaking process relative to the characterization of cryptocurrency products under federal securities laws that is sweeping through a large number of businesses that operate within the cryptocurrency sector. We intend to cooperate fully with the SEC’s investigation and will continue to work with outside counsel to review the matter.
NOTE 11 – INCOME TAXES
For the periods ended March 31 2022, and March 31, 2021, the Company used a discrete effective tax rate method for recording income taxes, as compared to an estimated full year annual effective tax rate method, as an estimate of the annual effective tax rate cannot be made.
Provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $6,000, resulting in an effective tax rate of 0.3%. Provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $143,003, resulting in an effective tax rate of 2.8%. The provision for income taxes was primarily impacted by the change in valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.
NOTE 12 – ACQUISITION & NONCONTROLLING INTEREST IN SUBSIDIARY
On March 22, 2021, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement to purchase the operating assets and intellectual property rights of MPower Trading Systems, LLC, a company controlled and partially owned by David B. Rothrock and James R. Bell, two of our board members, in exchange for nonvoting Class B Units of Investview Financial Group Holdings, LLC (“Units”). This acquisition closed on September 3, 2021 and we acquired an office lease, furniture and fixtures, and Prodigio, a proprietary software-based trading platform with applications in the brokerage industry. The Units can be exchanged at any time, within 5 years from the date of issuance, for shares of our common stock on a one-for-one basis and are subject to a lock up period through 2025. The fair value of the consideration at the if-converted market value of the common shares was $58.9 million based on the closing market price of $on the closing date of September 3, 2021 as discounted from $86.6 million by 32% (or $27.7 million) to reflect the significant lock up period.

(Unaudited)
The Company determined that as of the date of the acquisition, the fair value of the Prodigio Trading Platform software was $7.2 million. The difference between the value of the software asset and the consideration issued was driven by an increase in the valuation of the Class B Units between the execution of the original Securities Purchase Agreement in March 2021 which set the number of units to be issued as consideration and the closing of the transaction in September 2021, as well as the software’s lack of revenue generation and a readily available path to monetization through synergies with a broker-dealer partner. Accordingly, the Company recorded a non-cash loss on acquisition of $51.6 million as illustrated below.
Purchase price (fair value of Units) | $ | 58,859,440 | ||

Information concerning factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements can be found in our periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Business Overview
We operate a financial technology (FinTech) services company in several different businesses. We deliver multiple products and services through a direct selling network, also known as multi-level marketing, of independent distributors that offer our products and services through a subscription-based revenue model to our distributors, as well as by our distributors to a large base of customers that we refer to as “members”. Through this business, we provide research, education, and investment tools designed to assist the self-directed investor in successfully navigating the financial markets. These services include research and trade alerts regarding equities, options, FOREX, ETFs, binary options, and cryptocurrency sector education. In addition to trading tools and research, we also offer full education and software applications to assist the individual in debt reduction, increased savings, budgeting, and proper tax management. Each product subscription includes a core set of trading tools and research along with the personal finance management suite to provide an individual with complete access to the information necessary to cultivate and manage his or her financial situation. In addition to our education subscriptions, through a distribution arrangement we have with a third party, we have provided our members with an opportunity to purchase through such third party, a specialty form of adaptive digital currency called “ndau”. Through our direct selling model, we reward our distributors with commissions under a standard bonus plan that allows for discretionary bonuses based on performance.
We also operate a blockchain technology business that provides leading-edge research, development, and FinTech services involving the management of digital asset technologies with a focus on Bitcoin mining and the new generation of digital assets. As well, in order to, among other things, commercialize on the proprietary trading platform we recently acquired from MPower Trading Systems, LLC, take advantage of the market’s increasing acceptance and expansion of the ownership and use of digital currencies as an investable asset class, subject to applicable regulatory limitations, and to proactively respond to increasing regulatory scrutiny relative to cryptocurrency products, we have adopted a growth plan that contemplates the establishment of a suite of financial service companies that will include self-directed brokerage services, institutional trade execution services, innovative advisory services (RIA, CTA), and codeless algorithmic trading technologies, which will operate under our recently formed subsidiary, Investview Financial Group Holdings, LLC (“IFGH”). Towards that end, we have entered into an agreement to acquire the LevelX brokerage firm from an affiliate of the former Chief Executive Officer of the Company. However, the closing of that transaction is contingent upon securing FINRA approval which has not yet been obtained. If FINRA approval is not shortly forthcoming, we are likely to abandon the LevelX acquisition and search for alternative acquisitions within the brokerage industry. Further, our wholly owned subsidiary, SAFE Management, LLC (“SAFE Management”), owns a currently dormant registered investment advisor and a commodity trading advisor registered with the National Futures Association (NFA). However, we plan to relaunch its services under the IFGH umbrella in 2022 to primarily focus on commodities and FOREX.

The increase can be explained by a $5.8 million increase in our net subscription revenue, offset by a $4.8 million decrease in our mining revenue, and a $324 thousand decrease in our cryptocurrency revenue. The $5.8 million (73%) increase in subscription revenue was due to significant product enhancements and expansion into new markets globally, resulting in substantial growth in our membership; the $4.8 million (57%) decrease in mining revenue was a result of a 27% increase in the average global Bitcoin mining difficulty rate, scheduled equipment maintenance and upgrades and over a 9% decrease in the average value of Bitcoin; and the $324 thousand decrease in cryptocurrency revenue was due to an overall decrease in the number of sales of NDAU, the world’s first adaptive digital currency.

We experienced an increase in commissions of $2.3 million, which was a result of increases in our subscription revenue. This was offset by a decrease in our cost of sales and services of $1.1 million due to the relocation of our miners and a related decrease in our mining costs that included hosting, electrical, and power costs. We also recorded an increase in professional fees of $329 thousand due to higher legal fees. We recorded an increase in general and administrative costs of $250 thousand that could be fully explained by our increase in depreciation expense, as we had more miners that were placed in service during the current period when compared to the prior period. These increases were offset by a decrease in impairment expense of $534 thousand, where in the prior period we wrote-off intangible assets as a result of recoverability issues, with no similar write-offs occurring in the current period.

We recorded other expense of $1,899,493 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, which was a difference of $2,133,581, or 911%, from the prior period other income of $234,088. The change is due to no gain on debt extinguishment recorded in the current period compared to a gain of $408 thousand recorded in the prior period, a realized loss recorded on cryptocurrency in the current period of $183 thousand compared to a realized gain of $524 thousand in the prior period, and more related party interest expense recorded in current period versus the prior period ($1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $374 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2021). Amounts recorded in related party interest expense included the amortization of debt discounts, which was being recognized over the term of the debt, however, during the three months ended March 31, 2022 we repaid two of our related party notes early, which resulted in the recognition of $1.2 million of the amortization of the related debt discount amounts into interest.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recorded net income of $2,379,029 and generated $4,071,715 in cash through our operating activities. We used this cash to fund operations, fund the purchase of $6,016,210 worth of fixed assets, to repay $2,267,885 worth of related party payable, and to repurchase shares for $1,724,008. As a result, our cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash decreased by $6,333,886 to $26,283,020 as compared to $32,616,906 at the beginning of the fiscal year. As of March 31, 2022, our current assets exceeded our current liabilities to result in working capital of $17,532,592.
Critical Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
Our policy is to prepare our financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Prior to September 20, 2021 we operated the Company on a March 31, fiscal year end. Effective September 30, 2021 we changed our fiscal year to December 31.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations (Regulation S-X) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that may be expected for the filing of our December 31, 2022 Form 10-K. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2021 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Investview, Inc., and our wholly owned subsidiaries: iGenius, LLC (formerly Kuvera, LLC), Kuvera France S.A.S (through its closure date in June of 2021), Apex Tek, LLC (formerly Razor Data, LLC), SAFETek, LLC (formerly WealthGen Global, LLC), S.A.F.E. Management, LLC, United Games, LLC, United League, LLC, Investment Tools & Training, LLC, iGenius Global LTD (formerly Kuvera (N.I.) LTD), Investview Financial Group Holdings, LLC, and Investview MTS, LLC. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
Subscription Revenue
Most of our revenue is generated by subscription sales and payment is received at the time of purchase. We recognize subscription revenue in accordance with ASC 606-10 where revenue is measured based on a consideration specified in a contract with a customer and recognized when we satisfy the performance obligation specified in each contract. Our performance obligation is to provide services over a fixed subscription period; therefore, we recognize revenue ratably over the subscription period and deferred revenue is recorded for the portion of the subscription period subsequent to each reporting date. Additionally, we offer a designated trial period to first time subscription customers, during which a full refund can be requested if a customer does not wish to continue with the subscription. Revenues are deferred during the trial period as collection is not probable until that time has passed. Revenues are presented net of refunds, sales incentives, credits, and known and estimated credit card chargebacks. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 our deferred revenues were $3,293,498 and $3,288,443, respectively.
23 |
Mining Revenue
Through our wholly owned subsidiary, SAFETek, LLC, we leased equipment under a sales-type lease through June of 2020. In June of 2020 we cancelled all leases and purchased all of the rights and obligations under the leases, which included obtaining ownership of all equipment. We use the equipment on blockchain networks to validate and add blocks of transactions to blockchain ledgers (commonly referred to as “mining”). As compensation for mining we are issued fees from processors and/or block rewards that are newly created cryptocurrency units granted to us. Our mining activities constitute our ongoing major and central operations of SAFETek, LLC. Because we do not have contracts, nor do we have customers associated with our mining revenue, we recognize revenue when fees and/or rewards are settled, or ultimately granted to us as a result of our mining activities.
Cryptocurrency Revenue
We generate revenue from the sale of cryptocurrency packages to our customers through an arrangement with third-party suppliers. The various packages include different amounts of coin with differing rates of returns and terms and, in some cases, include a product protection option that allows the purchaser to protect their initial purchase price. The protection allows the purchaser to obtain 50% of their purchase price at five years or 100% of their purchase price at ten years. Both the coin and the protection option are delivered by third-party suppliers.
We recognize cryptocurrency revenue in accordance with ASC 606-10 where revenue is measured based on a consideration specified in a contract with a customer and recognized when we satisfy the performance obligation specified in each contract. Our performance obligation is to arrange for the third-parties to provide coin and protection (if applicable) to our customers and payment is received from our customers at the time of order placement. All customers are given two weeks to request a refund, therefore we record a customer advance on our balance sheet upon receipt of payment. After the two weeks have passed from order placement, we request our third-party suppliers to deliver coin and protection (if applicable), at which time we recognize revenue and the amounts due to our suppliers on our books. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 our customer advances related to cryptocurrency revenue were $249,433 and $75,702, respectively.
Fee Revenue
We generate fee revenue from our customers through SAFE Management, our subsidiary licensed as a Registered Investment Advisor and Commodities Trading Advisor. We recognize fee revenue in accordance with ASC 606-10 where revenue is measured based on a consideration specified in a contract with a customer and recognized when we satisfy the performance obligation specified in each contract. Our performance obligation is to deliver fully managed trading services to individuals who do not meet the requirements of Qualified Investors and who lack the time to trade for themselves. We recognize fee revenue as our performance obligation is met and we receive payment for such advisory fees in the month following recognition.

ITEM 3 – QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and, as such, are not required to provide the information under this item.
ITEM 4 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our acting Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of our disclosure control system are met. Because of inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within a company have been detected. Our acting Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded, based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Controls
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2022, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
