TRULI MEDIA GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2014
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
General
Truli Media Group, Inc., a publicly traded Oklahoma Corporation formerly known as SA Recovery Corp., was incorporated on July 28, 2008 in the State of Oklahoma. In connection with the consummation of a triangular reorganization transaction on June 13, 2012 with Truli Media Group, LLC, a Delaware corporation (“Truli LLC”) formed on October 19, 2011 (date of inception), the accounting acquirer (see below), Truli Inc. changed its name to Truli Media Group, Inc. The historical financial statements are those of Truli LLC, the accounting acquirer, immediately following the consummation of the reverse merger. All references that refer to (the “Company” or “Truli Inc.” or “we” or “us” or “our”) are to Truli Media Group, Inc., the Registrant and its wholly owned subsidiaries unless otherwise differentiated.
Truli Media Group, Inc. (“Truli” or the “Company”), headquartered in Beverly Hills, California, is focused on the on-demand media and social networking markets. Truli, with a website and multi-screen platform, has commenced operations as an aggregator of family-friendly, faith-based content, media, music and Internet Protocol Television (“IPTV”) programming. From its inception (October 19, 2011) through the date of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has not generated any revenues and has incurred significant expenses. The Company is in the process of raising additional debt or equity capital to support the completion of its development activities. Consequently, its operations are subject to all the risks and uncertainties inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including failing to secure additional funding to operationalize the Company’s current technology.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading.
These interim financial statements as of and for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented. The results for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending March 31, 2015 or for any future period. All references to December 31, 2014 and 2013 in these footnotes are unaudited.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended March 31, 2014, included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on July 15, 2014.
The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2014 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all disclosures required by the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all short-term highly liquid investments with a remaining maturity at the date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of 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.
6 |
Income Taxes
The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 740-10, Income Taxes (“ASC 740-10”) for recording the provision for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate applicable when the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled. Deferred income tax expense or benefit are based on the changes in the asset or liability during each period. If available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Future changes in such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income taxes in the period of change. Deferred income taxes may arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods. Deferred taxes are classified as current or non-current, depending on the classification of assets and liabilities to which they relate. Deferred taxes arising from temporary differences that are not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or non-current depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse and relate primarily to stock based compensation basis differences.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
The Company follows ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share” for calculating the basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share. Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing earnings (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Common share equivalents are excluded from the diluted earnings (loss) per share computation if their effect is anti-dilutive. There were 107,875,815 and 119,368,397 outstanding common share equivalents at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
December 31, | December 31, | |||||||
2014 | 2013 | |||||||
Options | 4,688,000 | 3,738,000 | ||||||
Warrants | 17,910,257 | 68,939,238 | ||||||
Convertible notes payable | 85,277,558 | 46,691,159 | ||||||
107,875,815 | 119,368,397 |
Dilutive common stock equivalents consist of shares issuable upon conversion of debt and the exercise of our stock warrants. In accordance with ASC 260-45-20, common stock equivalents derived from shares issuable through the exercise of our debt and warrants subject to derivative accounting are not considered in the calculation of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding because the adjustments in computing income available to common stockholders would result in a loss. Accordingly, the diluted EPS would be computed in the same manner as basic earnings per share.
Fair Value
Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825-10”) requires disclosure of the fair value of certain financial instruments. The carrying amount reported in the consolidated balance sheet for accounts payable and accrued expenses and notes payable approximates fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments.
Convertible Instruments
The Company evaluates and accounts for conversion options embedded in its convertible instruments in accordance with professional standards for “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”.
Professional standards generally provides three criteria that, if met, require companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments. These three criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. Professional standards also provide an exception to this rule when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional as defined under professional standards as “The Meaning of “Conventional Convertible Debt Instrument”.
7 |
The Company accounts for convertible instruments (when it has determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments) in accordance with professional standards when “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features,” as those professional standards pertain to “Certain Convertible Instruments.” Accordingly, the Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their earliest date of redemption. The Company also records when necessary deemed dividends for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in preferred shares based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note.
ASC 815-40 provides that, among other things, generally, if an event is not within the entity’s control could or require net cash settlement, then the contract shall be classified as an asset or a liability.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine fair value of options and warrants granted as stock-based compensation, which requires us to make judgments relating to the inputs required to be included in the model. In this regard, the expected volatility is based on the historical price volatility of the Company’s common stock. The dividend yield represents the Company’s anticipated cash dividend on common stock over the expected life of the stock options. The U.S. Treasury bill rate for the expected life of the stock options is utilized to determine the risk-free interest rate. The expected term of stock options represents the period of time the stock options granted are expected to be outstanding.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to conform the prior period data to the current presentations. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The FASB has issued ASU No. 2014-12, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period. This ASU requires that a performance target that affects vesting, and that could be achieved after the requisite service period, be treated as a performance condition. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant date fair value of the award. This update further clarifies that compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered.. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Earlier adoption is permitted. The Company has not yet determined the effect of the adoption of this standard.
The FASB has issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This ASU supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification 605 - Revenue Recognition and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Codification. The standard requires that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of 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. This ASU is effective on January 1, 2017 and should be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the ASU recognized at the date of initial application. The Company has not yet determined the effect of the adoption of this standard and it is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position and results of operations.
In August 2014, the FASB issued a new accounting standard which requires management to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern for each annual and interim reporting period. If substantial doubt exists, additional disclosure is required. This new standard will be effective for the Company for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company expects to adopt this new standard for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015 and the Company will continue to assess the impact on its consolidated financial statements.
The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and does not expect the future adoption of any such pronouncements to have a significant impact on its results of operations, financial condition or cash flow.

NOTE 2 - NOTES PAYABLE, RELATED PARTY
The Company’s Founder and Chief Executive Officer has advanced funds to the Company in the form of an unsecured term note, aggregating $1,273,609 and $673,609 payable as of December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2014, respectively. The note, which may be increased as additional funds are advanced to the Company by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, bears interest at 4% per annum. The Company recorded interest expense of $12,293 and $5,985 for the three months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $29,633 and $17,585 for the nine months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Accrued interest payable is $78,756 and $49,123 at December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2014, respectively.
The Company is obligated to repay the principal balance of the note along with accrued and unpaid interest payable over 36 months beginning in September 2012. No payments have been made.
NOTE 3 - CONVERTIBLE NOTES AND DEBENTURES
At December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2014 convertible notes and debentures consisted of the following:

Convertible notes payable | $ | 92,500 | $ | 819,506 | ||||
Unamortized debt discount | - | (38,881 | ) | |||||
Carrying amount | $ | 92,500 | $ | 780,625 |
Note issued on August 28, 2013:
On August 28, 2013, the Company issued an 8% convertible promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $42,500 to an accredited investor. The note has a maturity date of May 30, 2014. The note is convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of 55% of the average of the three (3) lowest per share market values during the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding a conversion date. We are currently in default on this convertible note. This note is in default and accordingly the Company charged to operations penalty at 50% of unpaid principal and accrued interest on the date of default of $9,886 during the nine months ended December 31, 2014. The Company is recording interest at 22% from the date of default.
During April 2014 $15,000 principal was converted into 2,000,000 shares of common stock, with a value of $24,000. The Company recorded a loss on conversion of $1,121 during the nine months ended December 31, 2014.
During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2014, the Company recorded amortization of debt discount of $0 and $5,454, respectively, as interest expense.
Debentures issued on September 10, 2013:
On September 10, 2013, the Company entered into securities purchase agreements with accredited investors pursuant to which the investors purchased 12% convertible debentures for aggregate gross proceeds of $501,337, which consisted of $400,000 of cash and the exchange and cancellation of an 8% convertible debenture (bearing principal and interest totaling $101,337. The debentures bear interest at a rate of 12% per annum and their principal amounts are due on September 10, 2014. The 12% debentures are payable upon any principal being converted on any voluntary conversion date (as to that principal amount then being converted). The Company may pay interest due either in cash or, at its option, through an increase in the principal amount of the 12% debentures then outstanding by an amount equal to the interest then due and payable. The 12% debentures are convertible at the option of the investor at any time into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to (i) $0.02, on any conversion date through the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days from September 10, 2013, subject to adjustment and (ii) beginning one hundred eighty one (181) days after September 10, 2013, it shall be equal to the lower of (A) the initial conversion price or (B) 65% of the average of the lowest three closing bid prices of the common stock for the ten trading days immediately prior to a conversion date, subject to adjustment.
In connection with the securities purchase agreements, the investors collectively received warrants to purchase an aggregate of 25,066,850 shares of common stock. The warrants are exercisable for a period of three years from the date of issuance at an exercise price of $0.05 per share, subject to adjustment. The investors may exercise the warrants on a cashless basis at any time after the date of issuance. In the event the investors exercise the warrants on a cashless basis we will not receive any proceeds.
In connection with the above $501,337 of 12% debentures, the Company made certain statements or omissions in the transaction documents that were incorrect as of the date made. Such statements or omissions resulted in an event of default under the terms of the transaction documents and the 12% debentures. Upon such event of default: (i) the principal and accrued interest balance on the 12% debentures increased to 150% of original face value, (ii) the interest rate increased to 18% (commencing 5 days after the event of default), and (iii) the amounts due under the 12% debentures were accelerated and became immediately due and payable. Accordingly, the Company charged to operations loss on default of convertible note of $250,669 during the year ended March 31, 2014 and increased the principal amount of the 12% debentures to $752,006. During March 2014, the Company repaid $40,000 of principal to the note holders.
During April and May of 2014, the Company repaid $40,000 of principal to the 12% debenture holders. Additionally, $6,000 of penalty was forgiven by the 12% debenture holders.

On August 7, 2014 we entered into a settlement agreement and release of claims with the holders of our 12% debentures, with an aggregate outstanding amount of $780,513, whereby we paid an initial payment of $301,337. We additionally owe another $180,000 to be paid over 24 monthly payments beginning on October 10, 2014. In the event we default on any payment under this settlement agreement, we would be subject to substantial penalties and interest, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and financial condition. We have also extinguished the derivative liability associated with the debentures of $452,075. We have recorded a gain of $751,250 as a result of the debt extinguishment during the nine months ended December 31, 2014. During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2014, the Company repaid $22,500 of the settlement amount.

NOTE 4 - DERIVATIVES
The Company has identified certain embedded derivatives related to its convertible notes, debentures and common stock purchase warrants. Since certain of the notes and debentures are convertible into a variable number of shares or have a price reset feature, the conversion features of those debentures are recorded as derivative liabilities. Since the warrants have a price reset feature, they are recorded as derivative liabilities. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record fair value of the derivatives as of the inception date and to adjust to fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date.
Note issued on August 28, 2013:
The Company identified embedded derivatives related to the convertible promissory notes entered into on August 28, 2013. These embedded derivatives included certain conversion features.
During April 2014 $15,000 of principal was converted into 2,000,000 shares of common stock. The derivative liability was reduced by $9,515 as a result of this conversion.
During the nine months ended December 31, 2014 we recorded additions to our derivative conversion liabilities related to the conversion feature attributable to interest and penalties accrued during the period. These additions aggregated $2,503 and $13,318 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2014, respectively, which has been charged to interest expense.
During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2014, the Company recorded $2,434 of expense and $9,458 of income, respectively, related to the change in the fair value of the derivative.
The fair value of the remaining embedded derivative was $30,534 at December 31, 2014, determined using the Black Scholes Model with the following assumptions: (1) risk free interest rate of 0.03%; (2) dividend yield of 0%; (3) volatility factor of the expected market price of our common stock of 106%; and (4) an expected life of three months.

NOTE 5 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
ASC 825-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance. ASC 825-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 825-10 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.
To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is disclosed is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Items recorded or measured at fair value on a recurring basis in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements consisted of the following items as of December 31, 2014:
Fair Value Measurements at December 31, 2014 using: | ||||||||||||||||
December 31, 2014 | Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) | Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) | Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) | |||||||||||||
Liabilities: | ||||||||||||||||
Debt and Warrant Derivative Liabilities | $ | 194,407 | - | - | $ | 194,407 |
The debt derivative liabilities is measured at fair value using quoted market prices and estimated volatility factors based on historical prices for the Company’s common stock and are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.

NOTE 6 - GOING CONCERN
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established any sources of revenue to cover its operating expenses. As shown in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has not generated any revenue for the period from October 19, 2011 (date of inception) through December 31, 2014. The Company has recurring net losses, an accumulated deficit of $4,804,333 and a working capital deficit (current liabilities exceeded current assets) at December 31, 2014 of $2,166,989. Additionally, current economic conditions in the United States and globally create significant challenges attaining sufficient funding.
The Company’s ability to continue existence is dependent upon commencing its planned operations, management’s ability to develop and achieve profitable operations and/or upon obtaining additional financing to carry out its planned business. The Company intends to fund its business development, acquisition endeavors and operations through equity and debt financing arrangements. The Company is dependent upon its Managing Member and Founder to provide financing for working capital purposes. However, there can be no assurance that these arrangements will be sufficient to fund its ongoing capital expenditures, working capital, and other cash requirements. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

COMPANY OVERVIEW
Business
Truli serves as a collaborative digital platform for members of the faith and family community worldwide, allowing them to share and deepen their faith and family values together. Truli invites ministries from various religious denominations to upload their messages to the Truli platform, at no cost. Our goal is to have an ever expanding library from these participating ministries, centralizing, serving and extending the Christian and family values message to a greater audience than previously done before. This platform delivers all types of media content to Internet accessible devices such as TVs, computers and an assortment of digital mobile devices such as tablets and smart phones. Currently, there are roughly 9,000 items in its library, with Christian content currently representing roughly 40% of the Truli Platform with roughly 60% of the platform representing family entertainment such as feature films “G” and “PG” rated, music videos focusing on family values, children’s programming, sports, education, etc. The Truli platform is also available in the Spanish language on its website which includes roughly 3,500 items in its library.
15 |
Strategy
Truli’s goal is to sign up as many ministries as possible throughout the United States and abroad. Truli is affiliated with over two hundred fifty ministries and churches, and allows them to deliver their content through the Truli platform. We hope to attract ministries to join our website by potentially providing benefits to them including (i) expanded dissemination of their message regardless of size, budget or location, (ii) direct user feedback from our consumers, and (iii) organization of their sermons and content as well as general technological advances to augment traditional places of worship.
Truli consumers have access to free content as well as certain Pay-per-View content on the interactive digital platform from which we hope to eventually derive revenue. In the event we are able to raise sufficient capital, and our website gains significant traffic, we plan to sell advertising space on our website. We additionally plan to sell faith based merchandise through our website once we are financially able to do so. We also have created a “donation” section of our website whereby we will receive 15% of donations given to ministries and churches.
Truli also will allow partners to monetize their content through our platform by letting them set purchase prices for their content, and allowing them to receive money though the “donation” section of our website.
We have currently not generated any revenue from these business strategies and there can be no assurances that we will do so in the future.
Plan of Operation
Truli is currently focused on further developing its website and securing financing through which to increase our advertising and online presence. Truli is additionally working toward increasing both the amount and diversity of its content through which to attract more users as well as more churches and ministries.
Financial
To date, we have devoted a substantial portion of our efforts and financial resources to creating and marketing our online platform. As a result, since our inception in 2011, we have generated no revenue and have funded our operations principally through private sales of debt and equity securities and through advances made by our Chief Executive Officer. We have never generated any revenue and, as of December 31, 2014, we had an accumulated deficit of $4,804,333. We expect to continue to incur operating losses for the foreseeable future and expect to generate no revenue for the foreseeable future.
Our cash and cash equivalents balance at December 31, 2014 was $310, representing 100% of total assets. Based on our current expected level of operating expenditures, we are currently uncertain if we will be able to fund our operations until our next year end. This period could be shortened if there are any significant increases in spending that were not anticipated or other unforeseen events. Currently we are dependent upon working capital advances provided by our Chief Executive Officer. We need to raise additional cash through the private or public sales of equity or debt securities, collaborative arrangements, or a combination thereof, to continue to fund operations and the development of our website and digital platform. There is no assurance that such financing will be available to us when needed to allow us to continue our operations or if available, on terms acceptable to us. If we do not raise sufficient funds in a timely manner, we may be forced to curtail operations, delay or stop developing or marketing our products, or cease operations altogether, or file for bankruptcy. We currently do not have commitments for future funding of cash from any source.
We have incurred indebtedness in the aggregate of $1,764,196 in principal and interest as of December 31, 2014, which includes $92,500 principal of our 8% convertible promissory notes, which are currently in default. As a result of the default, we recorded (i) penalties of 50% of the outstanding principal and accrued interest aggregating $49,664, and (ii) an increase of the interest rate to 22%. Unless we are able to restructure some or all of this debt, and raise sufficient capital to fund our continued development, our current operations do not generate any revenue to pay these obligations. Accordingly, there can be no assurances that we will be able to pay these or other obligations which we may incur in the future and it is unlikely we will be able to continue as a going concern.
Our Chief Executive Officer and consultants are currently not being paid. In the event financing is not obtained, we may pursue further cost cutting measures. These events could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
The independent registered public accounting firm’s report on our March 31, 2014 consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report states that our difficulty in generating sufficient cash flow to meet our obligations and sustain operations raise substantial doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Our consolidated financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("US GAAP"). US GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenues and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements. The following accounting policy is critical to understanding and evaluating our reported financial results:
Use of Estimates
The preparation of 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.
Convertible Instruments
We evaluate and account for conversion options embedded in its convertible instruments in accordance with professional standards for “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.”
Professional standards generally provides three criteria that, if met, require companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments. These three criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. Professional standards also provide an exception to this rule when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional as defined under professional standards as “The Meaning of “Conventional Convertible Debt Instrument.”
We account for convertible instruments (when it has determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments) in accordance with professional standards when “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features,” as those professional standards pertain to “Certain Convertible Instruments.” Accordingly, we record, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their earliest date of redemption. We also record when necessary deemed dividends for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in preferred shares based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note.
ASC 815-40 provides that, among other things, generally, if an event is not within the entity’s control could or require net cash settlement, then the contract shall be classified as an asset or a liability.
Stock-Based Compensation
We utilize the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine fair value of options and warrants granted as stock-based compensation, which requires us to make judgments relating to the inputs required to be included in the model. In this regard, the expected volatility is based on the historical price volatility of our common stock. The dividend yield represents our anticipated cash dividend on common stock over the expected life of the stock options. The U.S. Treasury bill rate for the expected life of the stock options is utilized to determine the risk-free interest rate. The expected term of stock options represents the period of time the stock options granted are expected to be outstanding.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2014 AS COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013
We had no revenue for the three month periods ended December 31, 2014 or 2013. Truli officially launched its website on July 10, 2012 but, has not yet generated significant revenue. Prior to such time, we were principally involved in website development and research and development activities. Net loss of $126,387 and $877,503 for the three month periods ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, resulted from the operational activities described below.

Operating Expenses
Operating expenses totaled $115,461 and $428,913 during the three month periods ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The decrease in operating expenses is the result of the following factors.
We incurred selling, general and administrative expenses of $115,461 for the three month period ended December 31, 2014, principally comprised of website development costs, professional fees and consulting fees. The decrease of 73% for 2014 compared to 2013 was primarily attributable to decreased spending on marketing, investor relations, professional and consulting fees, due to limited capital resources. We do not anticipate that the reported expenses represent a reliable indicator of future performance because we are still in the pre-revenue stage of development. Future costs are expected to be more heavily weighted towards marketing and promotion as our website potentially gains traffic and sales.

NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2014 AS COMPARED TO THE NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013
We had no revenue for the nine month periods ended December 31, 2014 or 2013. Truli officially launched its website on July 10, 2012 but, has not yet generated significant revenue. Prior to such time, we were principally involved in website development and research and development activities.

Operating Expenses
Operating expenses totaled $292,892 and $1,161,464 during the nine month periods ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The increase in operating expenses is the result of the following factors.
We incurred selling, general and administrative expenses of $292,892 for the nine month period ended December 31, 2014, principally comprised of website development costs, professional fees and consulting fees. The decrease of 75% for 2014 compared to 2013 was primarily attributable to decreased spending on marketing, investor relations, professional and consulting fees, due to limited capital resources.

Cash at end of period | $ | 310 | $ | 19,802 |
We had cash and cash equivalents of $310 and $4,249 as of December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2014, respectively. Our capital requirements arose principally from costs associated with website development, marketing and general administrative costs for both fiscal periods ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. We have liabilities of $2,234,799 and $3,972,855 as of December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2014, respectively. The decrease in liability is primarily attributable to the decrease in fair value of derivative liabilities related to convertible debt and common stock purchase warrants with price reset provisions.
We owe principal and interest of $1,352,365 pursuant to a 4% unsecured term note representing advances made by our Chief Executive Officer. We received advances of $600,000 and $32,163 during the nine month periods ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
We additionally have an unsecured line of credit with $82,975 outstanding as of December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2014.
We owe an aggregate of $92,500 on three 8% convertible promissory notes issued on August 28, 2013, October 2, 2013, and November 7, 2013. During April 2014, we issued 2,000,000 shares of common stock as a result of the conversion of $15,000 in principal of the 8% convertible promissory notes at a conversion price of 55% of the average three (3) lowest per share market values during the ten trading days preceding conversion. These notes are currently in default. As a result of the default, we recorded (i) penalties of 50% of the outstanding principal and accrued interest aggregating $49,664, and (ii) an increase of the interest rate to 22%.
We owe $157,500 in principal as a result of a debt settlement incurred with the extinguishment of our 12% convertible debentures issued on September 10, 2013. This amount will be paid in monthly installments over a 24 month period.
We spent in operating activities, $240,102 and $632,494 respectively for the nine month periods ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease in loss (after adjusting for non-cash items) of approximately $321,000.
Financing activities provided $236,163 and $651,000 to us during the nine month periods ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. We received advances from our Chief Executive Officer of $600,000 and $32,163 during the nine month periods ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. We received proceeds from convertible notes of $618,837 during the nine months ended December 31, 2013 and repaid $341,337 during the nine months ended December 31, 2014. We made payments on a debt settlement of $22,500 during the nine months ended December 31, 2014.
As of December 31, 2014, we had an accumulated deficit of $4,804,333 compared to $6,113,957 as of March 31, 2014. The decrease is attributable to the net income for the nine month period ended December 31, 2014.
We do not currently have sufficient capital in its accounts, nor sufficient firm commitments for capital to assure its ability to meet its current obligations or to continue its planned operations. We are continuing to pursue working capital sources through the sale of our debt or equity securities in order to carry out our planned operations. However, based on our current expected level of operating expenditures, we do not believe we will be able to fund our operations in the short term without raising additional capital. There is no assurance that any of the planned activities will be successful.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
We have reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and do not expect the future adoption of any such pronouncements to have a significant impact on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flow.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not applicable as we are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 229.10(f)(1).
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We are required to maintain “disclosure controls and procedures” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our Chief Executive Officer who also serves as our Chief Financial Officer, has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that the information relating to our company, required to be disclosed in our Securities and Exchange Commission reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure as a result of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15f of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the nine months ended December 31, 2014 that has materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II: OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On October 14, 2014, StoryCorp Consulting, a prior consultant of Truli, initiated an action against Truli with the American Arbitration Association. The action alleges that Truli owes StoryCorp Consulting $33,000 as well as 596,920 shares of our common stock pursuant to the terms of a consulting agreement entered into on December 14, 2012. The claim alleges that Truli defaulted on payments owed between August 1, 2013 and February 1, 2014 pursuant to the terms of the consulting agreement. In January 2015, the parties reached an agreement in principal. This agreement has not yet been signed and there can be no assurances that it will be signed.
ITEM 1A. - RISK FACTORS
We have described below a number of uncertainties and risks which, in addition to uncertainties and risks presented elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, may adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition. The uncertainties and risks enumerated below as well as those presented elsewhere in this Quarterly Report should be considered carefully in evaluating us, our business and the value of our securities. The following important factors, among others, could cause our actual business, financial condition and future results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report or presented elsewhere by management from time to time.
Risks Related To Our Financial Condition.
We were formed on October 19, 2011 and have a limited operating history and accordingly may not be able to effectively operate our business.
We are still in the early stages of company development and accordingly, there is only a limited basis upon which to evaluate our prospects for achieving our intended business objectives. There can be no assurance that we will ever achieve positive cash flow or profitability, or that if either is achieved, that it will be at the levels estimated by management.
We have not yet generated any revenue from the sale of our products or services. Our failure to generate significant revenues will seriously harm our business. We anticipate that we will experience operating losses and incur significant and increasing losses in the future due to growth, expansion, development and marketing. As a result of these additional expenses, we would need to generate substantial revenues to become profitable. We expect to incur significant operating losses for at least the next several years.
Our independent auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, which may hinder our ability to obtain future financing.
The report of our independent auditors dated July 14, 2014 on our consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2014 included an explanatory paragraph indicating that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our auditors’ doubts are based on our incurring significant losses from operations and our working capital deficit position. Our ability to continue as a going concern will be determined by our ability to obtain additional funding in the short term to enable us to realize the commercialization of our planned business operations. Our consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
20 |
We have a significant amount of debt which could impact our ability to continue to implement our business plan.
We have incurred indebtedness of our outstanding 8% convertible promissory notes currently totaling in principal and interest $164,159 as of December 31, 2014. As of the date of this report, we have been informed by the holders that we are currently in default and we have made no payments. Unless we are able to restructure some or all of the remaining debt, and raise sufficient capital to fund our continued development, we will be unable to pay these obligations as our current operations do not generate any revenue.
We currently are subject to financial obligations of a settlement agreement regarding the cancellation our previously issued 12% convertible debentures and our failure to meet payments or obligations as they become due may materially harm our financial condition.
We entered into a settlement agreement and release of claims on August 7, 2014 with the holders of our 12% convertible debentures whereby we paid an initial payment of $301,337. We additionally owed another $180,000 to be paid over 24 monthly payments beginning on October 10, 2014. We have currently not missed any payments. In the event we default on any payment under this settlement agreement, we would be subject to substantial penalties and interest, which will have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.
Our chief executive officer, as well as consultants, are currently working without pay and there can be no assurances that they will continue to provide services to us.
Currently, our chief executive officer, as well as many of our consultants, are not being paid for their services provided to us due to a shortage of company funds. In the event that we are unable to secure additional financing to begin paying employees and consultants, they may quit, which could have a material adverse effect on the our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Risks Related to the Company
There is no assurance that we will be able to attract and retain consumers to our website or generate revenues.
Our success depends upon our ability to obtain and retain consumers and potentially generate income from advertisers, future merchandise sales, donations to our subscriber ministries, as well as Pay-per-View content on our website. There is no assurance that we will be able to attract prospective consumers to our website, that we will be able to retain consumers that we attract, or that we will be able to generate revenue sufficient to continue our operations.
We will require additional capital to implement our business plan and marketing strategies which we may be unable to secure.
Under our business plan, we intend to build and expand our operations substantially over the next several years. Our cash on hand is insufficient for our operational needs. We therefore need additional financing for working capital purposes and to grow our business. There is no assurance that additional financing will available on acceptable terms, or at all. If we fail to obtain additional financing as needed, we may be required to reduce or halt our anticipated expansion plans and our business and results of operations could be materially, adversely affected. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available on terms deemed to be acceptable by us, and in our stockholders’ interests.
Given our lack of capital, we may be unable to build, or continue to build, awareness of our brand, which could negatively impact our business, our ability to generate revenues, and/or cause our revenues to decline.
Our ability to build and maintain brand recognition is critical to attracting and expanding our online user base. In order to promote our brand, in response to competitive pressures or otherwise, we may find it necessary to increase our marketing budget, hire additional marketing and public relations personnel or otherwise increase our financial commitment to creating and maintaining brand loyalty among our clients. Given our insufficient funds, we are currently unable to promote our brand as necessary without raising additional capital. If we fail to promote and maintain our brand effectively, or incur excessive expenses attempting to promote and maintain our brands, our business and financial results may suffer.
We rely on the proper and efficient functioning of its computer and database systems, and a malfunction could result in disruptions to our business.
Our ability to keep our business operating depends on the proper and efficient operation of its computer and database systems. Since computer and database systems are susceptible to malfunctions and interruptions (including those due to equipment damage, power outages, computer viruses and a range of other hardware, software and network problems), we cannot guarantee that it will not experience such malfunctions or interruptions in the future. A significant or large-scale malfunction or interruption of one or more of its computer or database systems could adversely affect our ability to keep our operations running efficiently. If a malfunction results in a wider or sustained disruption to its business, this could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
21 |
Our systems may be subject to slower response times and system disruptions that could adversely affect our revenues.
Our ability to attract and maintain relationships with users, advertisers and strategic partners will depend on the satisfactory performance, reliability and availability of our Internet infrastructure. System interruptions or delays that result in the unavailability of Internet sites or slower response times for users would reduce the number of advertising impressions and leads delivered. This could reduce our prospects of revenues as the attractiveness of our sites to users and advertisers decreases. Further, we do not have multiple site capacity for all of our services in the event of any such occurrence. We may experience service disruptions for the following reasons:
● | occasional scheduled maintenance; | |
● | equipment failure; | |
● | traffic volume to our websites that exceed our infrastructure’s capacity; and | |
● | natural disasters, telecommunications failures, power failures, other system failures, maintenance, viruses, hacking or other events outside of our control. |
Our networks and websites must accommodate a high volume of traffic and deliver frequently updated information. They may experience slow response times or decreased traffic for a variety of reasons. There may be instances where our online networks as a whole, or our websites individually, will be inaccessible. Also, slower response times can result from general Internet problems, routing and equipment problems involving third party Internet access providers, problems with third party advertising servers, increased traffic to our servers, viruses and other security breaches, many of which problems are out of our control. In addition, our users depend on Internet service providers and online service providers for access to our online networks or websites. Such providers have experienced outages and delays in the past, and may experience outages or delays in the future. Moreover, our Internet infrastructure might not be able to support continued growth of our online networks or websites. Any of these problems could result in less traffic to our networks or websites or harm the perception of our networks or websites as reliable sources of information. Less traffic on our networks and websites or periodic interruptions in service could have the effect of reducing demand for both users and for advertisers on our networks or websites, thereby harming our financial condition and operations.
Our networks may be vulnerable to unauthorized persons accessing our systems, viruses and other disruptions, which could result in the theft of our proprietary information and/or disrupt our Internet operations making our websites less attractive and reliable for our users and advertisers.
Internet usage could decline if any compromise of security occurs. “Hacking” involves efforts to gain unauthorized access to information or systems or to cause intentional malfunctions or loss or corruption of data, software, hardware or other computer equipment. Hackers, if successful, could misappropriate proprietary information or cause disruptions in our service.
We may be required to expend capital and other resources to protect our websites against hackers. Our online networks could also be affected by computer viruses or other similar disruptive problems, and we could inadvertently transmit viruses across our networks to our users or other third parties. Any of these occurrences could harm our business or give rise to a cause of action against us. Providing unimpeded access to our online networks is critical to servicing our customers and providing superior customer service. Our inability to provide continuous access to our online networks could cause some of our customers to discontinue purchasing advertising programs and services and/or prevent or deter our users from accessing our networks. Our activities and the activities of third party contractors involve the storage and transmission of proprietary and personal information. Accordingly, security breaches could expose us to a risk of loss or litigation and possible liability. We cannot assure that contractual provisions attempting to limit our liability in these areas will be successful or enforceable, or that other parties will accept such contractual provisions as part of our agreements.
Our business, which is dependent on centrally located communications and computer hardware systems, is vulnerable to natural disasters, telecommunication and systems failures, terrorism and other problems, which could reduce traffic on our networks or websites and result in decreased capacity for advertising space.
Our operations are dependent on our communications systems and computer hardware, all of which are located in data centers operated by third parties. These systems could be damaged by fire, floods, earthquakes, power loss, telecommunication failures and other similar events and natural disasters. We currently have no insurance policies to cover for loss or damages in these events. In addition, terrorist acts or acts of war may cause harm to our employees or damage our facilities, our clients, our clients’ customers and vendors, or cause us to postpone or cancel, or result in dramatically reduced attendance at, our events, which could adversely impact our revenues, costs and expenses and financial position. We are predominantly uninsured for losses and interruptions to our systems or cancellations of events caused by terrorist acts and acts of war.
If additional shares are issued in the future, our investor’s ownership interest will be diluted.
We may elect to issue additional shares of common stock in the future including, without limitation, in connection with an additional capital raise. If we issue additional shares in the future, an investor’s ownership interest will be diluted and such dilution may be substantial.
22 |
If Internet users do not interact with www.truli.com frequently or if we fail to attract new users to the site, our business and financial results will suffer.
The future success of www.truli.com is largely dependent upon users constantly visiting the site for content. We need to attract users to visit our website frequently and spend increasing amounts of time on the website when they visit. If we are unable to encourage users to interact more frequently with truli.com and to increase the amount of user generated content they provide, our ability to attract new users to our website and increase the number of loyal users will be diminished and adversely affected. As a result, our business and financial results will suffer, and we will not be able to grow our business as planned.
We intend to generate substantial portions of our revenue through advertising, and uncertainties in the Internet advertising market and our failure to increase advertising inventory on our Web properties could adversely affect our ad revenues.
Although worldwide online advertising spending is growing steadily, it represents only a small percentage of total advertising expenditures. Advertisers will not do business with us if their investment in Internet advertising with us does not generate sales leads, and ultimately customers, or if we do not deliver their advertisements in an appropriate and effective manner. If the Internet does not continue to be as widely accepted as a medium for advertising and the rate of advertising on the Internet decreases, our ability to generate increased revenues could be adversely affected. We believe that growth in ad revenues will also depend on our ability to increase the number of pages on our website to provide more advertising inventory. If we fail to increase our advertising inventory at a sufficient rate, our ad revenues could grow more slowly than we expect, which could have an adverse effect on our financial results.
New technologies could block Internet ads from being seen by our users, which could harm our financial results.
Technologies have been developed, and are likely to continue to be developed, that can block the display of Internet ads. Ad-blocking technology may cause a decrease in the number of ads that we can display on our website, which could adversely affect our future ad revenues and our financial results.
If we fail to enhance awareness of our website and provide updated content, we will be unable to generate sufficient website traffic and our business and financial condition will suffer.
In order to generate traffic to our website, we believe that we need to enhance awareness of our website and consistently provide updated content. We also believe that the importance of brand recognition will increase due to the relatively low barriers to entry in our market. We believe we currently have low traffic on our website due to a lack of content, and our inability to adequately market the website given our insufficient capital. Increasing awareness and traffic will require us to spend increasing amounts of money on, and devote greater resources to, advertising, marketing and other brand-building efforts, and these investments may not be successful. Given our insufficient capital, even if these efforts are successful, they may not be cost-effective. If we are unable to enhance our website, our traffic may not increase and we may fail to attract advertisers, which could in turn result in lost revenues and adversely affect our business and financial results.
Risks related to management
Our Chief Executive Officer, by virtue of his ownership of our securities, is currently able to control the company.
Our founder and Chief Executive Officer, Michael Jay Solomon, as of February 6, 2014, beneficially owns approximately 51% of the issued and outstanding equity of Truli. Our non-management shareholders will have virtually no ability to control or direct our affairs. Management will be in a position to control all of our decisions, and removal of such persons would be virtually impossible. Management will be able to significantly influence all matters requiring shareholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions, which could have an undesired or undesirable effect. No person should invest in in Truli unless such investor is willing to place all aspects of the management of the company in the existing management.
We are responsible for the indemnification of our officers and directors, which, if required, could result in significant company expenditures.
Should our officers and/or directors require us to contribute to their defense, we may be required to spend significant amounts of our capital. Our articles of incorporation and bylaws also provide for the indemnification of our directors, officers, employees, and agents, under certain circumstances, against attorney's fees and other expenses incurred by them in any litigation to which they become a party arising from their association with or activities on behalf of us. This indemnification policy could result in substantial expenditures, which we may be unable to recoup. If these expenditures are significant, or involve issues which result in significant liability for our key personnel, we may be unable to continue operating as a going concern.
Given our financial situation, we may be unable to implement growth and expansion strategies.
We are not able to expand our product and service offerings, our client base and markets, or implement the other features of our business strategy given our insufficient capital and need for additional financing. If we are unable to successfully manage our future growth, establish and continue to upgrade our operating and financial control systems, recruit and hire necessary personnel or effectively manage unexpected expansion difficulties, our financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
23 |
Additional financing will be necessary for the implementation of our growth strategy.
We will require additional debt and/or equity financing to pursue our growth strategy. Given our limited operating history and existing losses, there can be no assurance that additional financing will be available, or, if available, that the terms will be acceptable to us. Lack of additional funding would force us to curtail substantially or even totally, our business and growth plans.
Furthermore, given our financial condition, future financing may involve restrictive covenants that could impose limitations on our operating flexibility. Our failure to successfully obtain additional future funding on terms sufficient to us will seriously jeopardize our ability to continue our business and operations.
We depend on Michael Jay Solomon, our Chief Executive Officer, to manage and drive the execution of our business plans and operations; the loss of Mr. Solomon would materially and adversely affect our business.
Currently, our Chief Executive Officer, Michael Jay Solomon is our only employee and given our financial condition, he has forgone payment for the last two fiscal years. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in retaining Mr. Solomon. A voluntary or involuntary termination of Mr. Solomon would have a materially adverse effect on our business.
Risks Related to Investment in our Company
The market for our common stock has been illiquid so the price of our common stock could be volatile and could decline when you want to sell your holdings.
Our common stock trades with limited volume on the OTC Markets under the symbol TRLI. Although a limited public market for our common stock exists, it is still relatively illiquid compared to that of a seasoned issuer. Any prospective investor in our securities should consider the limited market of our common stock when making an investment decision. No assurances can be given that the trading volume of our common stock will increase or that a liquid public market for our securities will ever materialize. Numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control, may cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate significantly. These factors include but are not limited to: (i) actual or anticipated changes in our earnings, fluctuations in our operating results or our failure to meet the expectations of financial market analysts and investor; (ii) changes in financial estimates by us or by any securities analysts who might cover our stock; (iii) speculation about our business in the press or the investment community; (iv) significant developments relating to our relationships with our licensees and our advisors; (v) stock market price and volume fluctuations of other publicly traded companies and, in particular, those that are in our industry; (vi) our potential inability to pay back outstanding notes or debentures, or contractual obligations related to the cancellation thereof; (vii) investor perceptions of our industry in general and our company in particular; (viii) the operating and stock performance of comparable companies; (ix) general economic conditions and trends; (x) major catastrophic events; (xi) announcements by us or our competitors of new products, significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships or divestitures; (xii) changes in accounting standards, policies, guidance, interpretation or principles; (xiii) sales of our common stock, including sales by our directors, officers or significant stockholders; and (xiv) additions or departures of key personnel.
Moreover, securities markets may from time to time experience significant price and volume fluctuations for reasons unrelated to operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may adversely affect the price of our common stock and other interests in our company at a time when you want to sell your interest in us.
Our common stock may be subject to the “penny stock” rules of the SEC, which may make it more difficult for stockholders to sell our common stock.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a "penny stock," for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require (i) that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks; and (ii) the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.
In order to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must (i) obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and (ii) make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.
The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form (i) sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and (ii) that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction.
Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.

The regulations applicable to penny stocks may severely affect the market liquidity for our common stock and could limit an investor’s ability to sell our common stock in the secondary market.
As an issuer of “penny stock,” the protection provided by the federal securities laws relating to forward-looking statements does not apply to us.
Although federal securities laws provide a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by a public company that files reports under the federal securities laws, this safe harbor is not available to issuers of penny stocks. As a result, we will not have the benefit of this safe harbor protection in the event of any legal action based upon a claim that the material provided by us contained a material misstatement of fact or was misleading in any material respect because of our failure to include any statements necessary to make the statements not misleading. Such an action could hurt our financial condition.
We are subject to price reset provisions, variable conversion prices and adjustments related to certain of our convertible notes and our common stock purchase warrants which could cause significant dilution to stockholders and adversely impact the price of our common stock.
Certain of our securities are subject to price reset provisions, variable conversion prices and adjustments. As a result, future sales of common stock or common stock equivalents may result in significant dilution to our shareholders. For instance, our 8% convertible promissory notes issued in August, October, and November of 2013 are convertible into common shares at a discount to market and have price reset features.
Additionally, 2,506,685 common stock purchase warrants issued as compensation to placement agents in connection with our previously cancelled 12% convertible debentures have increased to 17,904,857 warrants and the exercise price has been reduced from $0.05 to $0.007 as a result of subsequent debt issuances.
In the event of further price resets or conversion price modifications, dilution may be substantial and our stock price may be negatively impacted.
Failure to maintain effective internal controls in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results and stockholders could lose confidence in our financial reporting.
Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and effectively prevent fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our operating results could be harmed. Failure to achieve and maintain an effective internal control environment, regardless of whether we are required to maintain such controls, could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a material adverse effect on our stock price. Although we are not aware of anything that would impact our ability to maintain effective internal controls, we have not obtained an independent audit of our internal controls and, as a result, we are not aware of any deficiencies which would result from such an audit. Further, at such time as we are required to comply with the internal controls requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, we may incur significant expenses in having our internal controls audited and in implementing any changes which are required.
We have not paid dividends on our common stock in the past and do not expect to pay dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future. Any return on investment may be limited to the value of our common stock.
No cash dividends have been paid on our common stock. We expect that any income received from operations will be devoted to our future operations and growth. We do not expect to pay cash dividends on our common stock in the near future. Payment of dividends would depend upon our profitability at the time, cash available for those dividends, and other factors as our board of directors may consider relevant. If we do not pay dividends, our common stock may be less valuable because a return on an investor’s investment will only occur if our stock price appreciates.
The requirements of being a public company may strain our resources, divert management’s attention and affect our ability to attract and retain qualified board members.
We became a public company in June 2012 and subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Prior to June 2012, we had not operated as a public company and the requirements of these rules and regulations have and will likely continue to increase our legal and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time-consuming or costly and increase demand on our systems and resources. The Exchange Act requires, among other things, that we file annual, quarterly and current reports with respect to our business and financial condition. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls for financial reporting. For example, Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires that our management report on, and our independent auditors attest to, the effectiveness of our internal controls structure and procedures for financial reporting. Section 404 compliance may divert internal resources and will take a significant amount of time and effort to complete. We may not be able to successfully complete the procedures and certification and attestation requirements of Section 404 by the time we will be required to do so. If we fail to do so, or if in the future our chief executive officer, chief financial officer or independent registered public accounting firm determines that our internal controls over financial reporting are not effective as defined under Section 404, we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the SEC or other regulatory authorities. Furthermore, investor perceptions of our company may suffer, and this could cause a decline in the market price of our common stock. Irrespective of compliance with Section 404, any failure of our internal controls could have a material adverse effect on our stated results of operations and harm our reputation. If we are unable to implement these changes effectively or efficiently, it could harm our operations, financial reporting or financial results and could result in an adverse opinion on internal controls from our independent auditors. We may need to hire a number of additional employees with public accounting and disclosure experience in order to meet our ongoing obligations as a public company, which will increase costs. Our management team and other personnel will need to devote a substantial amount of time to new compliance initiatives and to meeting the obligations that are associated with being a public company, which may divert attention from other business concerns, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, because our management team has limited experience managing a public company, we may not successfully or efficiently manage our transition into a public company.
25 |
Future sales of our equity securities could result in downward selling pressure on our securities, and may adversely affect the stock price.
In the event that our equity securities are sold, there is a risk downward pressure may result, making it difficult for an investor to sell his or her securities at any reasonable price, if at all. Future sales of substantial amounts of our equity securities in the public market, or the perception that such sales could occur, could put downward selling pressure on our securities, and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
Risks Related to the Industry
The affinity-based content aggregation and ecommerce industry is highly competitive.
We will be in competition with other current or potential regional, national and international companies that may offer similar services to ours. Our current competitors include Sky Angel, HopeTV, Harvest-TV, Streaming Faith, Hulu, YouTube, Pandora, Rhapsody as well as thousands of small Christian-focused web sites. Additionally, ministries providing content to us may also distribute their content through other mediums such as cable TV, similar online companies, their own web site, YouTube and others. It is possible that additional online media content competitors who do not directly compete with us will elect to compete in our field or emerge in the future, some of which may be larger and have greater financial and operating resources than we do. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete against such other competitors in light of the rapidly evolving, highly competitive marketplace for these services. Our failure to maintain and enhance our competitive position could reduce our market share, decrease our profit margin and cause our revenues to grow more slowly than anticipated or not at all.
Online piracy of media content on our website could result in reduced revenues and increased expenditures which could materially harm our financial condition.
Online media content piracy is extensive in many parts of the world and is made easier by technological advances. This trend facilitates the creation, transmission and sharing of high quality unauthorized copies of online video content. The proliferation of unauthorized copies of these products will likely continue, and if it does, could have an adverse effect on our business, because these products could reduce the potential revenue, if any, we would receive from our products. Additionally, in order to contain this problem, we may have to implement elaborate and costly security and anti-piracy measures, which could result in significant expenses and losses of potential future revenue. There can be no assurance that even the highest levels of security and anti-piracy measures will prevent piracy.
Our contracts with content providers are “non-exclusive” which may affect our ability to compete, resulting in potential adverse effects to our operations and financial condition.
Our contracts with content providers are “non-exclusive.” As a result, content providers are able to deliver and distribute content which is available on the Truli website, through other websites including, without limitation, our direct competitors. In addition, certain of the content available on the Truli website is also available generally to the public on cable television, YouTube.com or other file sharing websites, among others. The lack of exclusive content on our website may be harmful to our ability to compete in the marketplace which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
Changes in technology may affect the profitability of online content and if we are unable to adapt to such technological changes, it may negatively impact our business and financial condition.
The online industry in general, continues to undergo significant changes, primarily due to technological developments. Due to rapid growth of technology and shifting consumer tastes, we cannot accurately predict the overall effect that technological growth or the availability of alternative forms of entertainment may have on the profitability of its online content and/or our business in general. Examples of such advances include downloading and streaming from the Internet onto cellular phone or other mobile devices. Other online companies may have larger budgets to exploit these growing trends. We cannot predict how we or our business partners will financially participate in the exploitation of our content through these emerging technologies or whether we or our business partners have the right to do so for all of its content. If we or our business partners cannot successfully exploit these and other emerging technologies, it could have a material adverse effect on our revenues and therefore on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
26 |
As a result of providing online media content, we may be subject to intellectual property infringement claims which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.
One of the risks of the online media content business is the possibility that others may claim that such content misappropriates or infringes the intellectual property rights of third parties with respect to their previously developed films, stories, characters, other entertainment or intellectual property. We are likely to receive in the future, claims of infringement or misappropriation of other parties’ proprietary rights. Any such assertions or claims may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. Irrespective of the validity or the successful assertion of such claims, we could incur significant costs and diversion of resources in defending against them, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. If any claims or actions are asserted against us, we may seek to settle such claim by obtaining a license from the plaintiff covering the disputed intellectual property rights. We cannot provide any assurances, however, that under such circumstances a license, or any other form of settlement, would be available on reasonable terms or at all. Any of these occurrences could have a material adverse effect on our revenues and therefore on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
As a distributor of content over the Internet, we face potential liability for legal claims based on the nature and content of the materials that we distribute.
Due to the nature of content published on our online network, including content placed on our online network by third parties, and as a distributor of original content and research, we face potential liability based on a variety of theories, including defamation, negligence, copyright or trademark infringement, or other legal theories based on the nature, creation or distribution of this information. Such claims may also include, among others, claims that by providing hypertext links to websites operated by third parties, we are liable for wrongful actions by those third parties through these websites. Similar claims have been brought, and sometimes successfully asserted, against online services. It is also possible that our users could make claims against us for losses incurred in reliance on information provided on our networks.
In addition, we could be exposed to liability in connection with material posted to our Internet sites by third parties. For example, many of our sites offer users an opportunity to post un-moderated comments and opinions. Some of this user-generated content may infringe on third party intellectual property rights or privacy rights or may otherwise be subject to challenge under copyright laws. Such claims, whether brought in the United States or abroad, could divert management time and attention away from our business and result in significant cost to investigate and defend, regardless of the merit of these claims. In addition, if we become subject to these types of claims and are not successful in our defense, we may be forced to pay substantial damages. We have no insurance to protect us against these claims. The filing of these claims may also damage our reputation as a high quality provider of unbiased, timely analysis and result in client cancellations or overall decreased demand for our services.
As a distributor of media content, we may face potential liability for defamation, invasion of privacy, negligence, copyright or trademark infringement and other claims based on the nature and content of the materials distributed.
These types of claims have been brought, sometimes successfully, against distributors of media content. Any imposition of liability, given our lack of insurance coverage, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
As a result of conducting business outside of the United States, we may be subjected to additional risks related to international trade which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.
We conduct business in overseas markets and is therefore subject to risks inherent in the international distribution of media content, many of which are beyond the our control. These risks include: (i) laws and policies affecting trade, investment and taxes, including laws and policies relating to the repatriation of funds and withholding taxes, and changes in these laws; (ii) differing cultural tastes and attitudes, including varied censorship laws; (iii) differing degrees of protection for intellectual property; (iv) financial instability and increased market concentration of buyers in foreign television markets, including in European pay television markets; (v) the instability of foreign economies and governments; (vi) fluctuating foreign exchange rates; and (vii) war and acts of terrorism.
Events or developments related to these and other risks associated with international trade could adversely affect our ability to do conduct business in non-U.S. sources, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Changes in laws and regulations, specifically those affecting the Internet could adversely affect our business and results of operations.
It is possible that new laws and regulations or new interpretations of existing laws and regulations in the United States and elsewhere will be adopted covering issues affecting our business, including (i) privacy, data security and use of personally identifiable information; (ii) copyrights, trademarks and domain names; and (iii) marketing practices, such as e-mail or direct marketing.
27 |
Increased government regulation, or the application of existing laws to online activities, could (i) decrease the growth rate of the Internet; (ii) reduce our revenues; (iii) increase our operating expenses; or (iv) expose us to significant liabilities.
Furthermore, the relationship between regulations governing domain names and laws protecting trademarks and similar proprietary rights is still evolving. Therefore, we might be unable to prevent third parties from acquiring domain names that infringe or otherwise decrease the value of our trademarks and other proprietary rights. Any impairment in the value of these important assets could cause our stock price to decline. We cannot be sure what effect any future material noncompliance by us with these laws and regulations or any material changes in these laws and regulations could have on our business, operating results and financial condition.
Future government regulation may impair our ability to market and sell our services.
Our current and planned services are subject to federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations governing virtually all aspects of our business and product offerings. As we offer existing products and services or introduce new ones commercially, it is possible that governmental authorities will adopt new regulations that will limit or curtail our ability to market and sell such products. We may also incur substantial costs or liabilities in complying with such new governmental regulations. Our potential customers and distributors, almost all of which operate in highly regulated industries, may also be required to comply with new laws and regulations applicable to products such as ours, which could adversely affect their interest in our products.
Our operating results are vulnerable to adverse conditions affecting southern California.
Our principal executive office is located in Beverly Hills, California. Thus, our operating results are vulnerable to natural disasters or other casualties and to negative economic, competitive, demographic and other conditions affecting southern California. We currently have no insurance coverage, and accordingly, will have no compensation for economic consequences of any loss. Should a loss occur, we could lose both our invested capital and anticipated profits from affected facilities.
ITEM 2 - UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
During October 2014 we granted a total of 150,000 stock options to two consultants. The options each have a term of three years, an exercise price of $0.01 per share, vest fully on the grant date, and allows for cashless exercise at any time during the term. The options were issued pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
On September 19, 2014 we issued an option to purchase 250,000 common shares to a consultant as consideration for services. The option has a term of three years, an exercise price of $0.01 per share, vests fully on the grant date, and allows for cashless exercise at any time during the term. The option was issued pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
On August 11, 2014 we issued an option to purchase 300,000 common shares to a member of our board of directors for board services. The option has a term of three years, an exercise price of $0.007 per share, vests fully on the grant date, and allows for cashless exercise at any time during the term. The option was issued pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
On August 7, 2014 we entered into a settlement agreement and general release of claims whereby certain common stock purchase warrants issued to the holders of our previously issued 12% convertible debentures were cancelled. As partial consideration for the cancellation of the 62,667,125 warrants, we issued an aggregate of 31,530,629 shares of common stock to such holders. The shares to be issued will be exempt from registration under Section 4(2) and 3(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
On August 5, 2014 we issued an option to purchase 250,000 common shares to a consultant as consideration for services. The option has a term of five years, an exercise price of $0.007 per share, vests in six equal installments over a six week period beginning on the grant date and allows for cashless exercise at any time for any vested portion of the option. The option was issued pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
During the quarter ending June 30, 2014, holders of our 8% convertible promissory notes converted an aggregate of $15,000 into 2,000,000 shares of common stock at a price per share of $0.0075. The shares were issued pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
