(1) ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION, ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting and reflect the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. As such, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, which was filed with the SEC on October 16, 2019. The results from operations for the three-month period ended June 30, 2018, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and the disclosure of contingent amounts in the Company’s financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

Organization and Nature of Operations

Sundance Strategies, Inc. (formerly known as Java Express, Inc.) was organized under the laws of the State of Nevada on December 14, 2001, and engaged in the retail selling of beverage products to the general public until these endeavors ceased in 2006; it had no material business operations from 2006, until its acquisition of ANEW LIFE, INC. (“ANEW LIFE”), a subsidiary of Sundance Strategies, Inc. (“Sundance Strategies”, “the Company”, “we” or “our”). The Company is engaged in the business of purchasing or acquiring life insurance policies and residual interests in or financial products tied to life insurance policies, including notes, drafts, acceptances, open accounts receivable and other obligations representing part or all of the sales price of insurance, life settlements and related insurance contracts being traded in the secondary marketplace, often referred to as the “life settlements market.” Since the Company’s inception its operations have been primarily financed through sales of equity, debt financing from related parties and the issuance of notes payable and convertible debentures. Currently, the Company is focused on the purchase of net insurance benefit contracts (“NIBs”) based on life settlements or life insurance policies.

Accounting Treatment When the Company Holds NIBs

The Company does not take possession or control of the policies. The owners of the life settlements or life insurance policies (the “Owners” or “the Holders”) acquire such policies at a discount to their face value. On settlement, the Company receives the net insurance benefit after all borrowings, interest and expenses have been paid by the Owners out of the settlement proceeds.

The Owners are variable interest entities (VIEs), for which the Company has a variable interest, but is not the primary beneficiary. The Company’s investment in NIBs (see Note 4) were issued by the Owners (i.e. the VIEs). The Company’s maximum exposure to loss in the variable interest entities is limited to the investment in NIBs balance. The Company does not have the power to direct activities of the VIEs. Further, the Company does not have the contractual obligation to absorb losses of the VIEs.

The investment in NIBs is a residual economic beneficial interest in a portfolio of life insurance contracts that have been financed by an independent third party via a loan from a lender and, in certain cases, insured via a mortality risk insurance product or mortality re-insurance (“MRI”). Future expected cash flow and positive profits are defined as the net insurance proceeds from death benefits after senior debt repayment, mortality risk repayment, and service provider or other third-party payments.

NIBs are generally in the form of participating debt certificates (“PDC”), and although the two terms are interchangeable, the Company typically refers to them as NIBs. According to the terms of the PDCs, the PDCs provide both variable and fixed interest return to the Company from the Owners of the policies in the form of accrued yield. The variable interest varies by individual PDC, and is calculated as 99% to 100% (depending on the PDC) of the positive profits from the life insurance assets held by the Owners of the policies. The fixed interest also varies by individual PDC, and is either 1% or 2% per annum of the par value of the PDCs held by the Company. The NIBs agreements between the Company and the Owners of the policies contain a provision that allows for the Owners to redeem the NIBs at any point, conditional upon paying to the Company the par value of the NIBs, as well as any unpaid accrued yield relating to fixed and variable interest. In aggregate, the sum of the par value plus unpaid accrued interest is in excess of the Company’s initial investment. The Company is not responsible for maintaining premiums or other expenses related to maintaining the underlying life insurance contracts. Therefore, the investment in NIBs balance on the Company’s balance sheet does not increase when premiums or other expenses are paid.

The Company accounted for its investment in NIBs at the initial investment value increased for interest income and decreased for cash receipts received by the Company and impairment losses. At the time of transfer or purchase of an investment in NIBs, we estimated the future expected cash flows and determined the effective interest rate based on these estimated cash flows and our initial investment. Based on this effective interest rate, the Company calculated accretable income, which was recorded as interest income on investment in NIBs in the statement of operations. Our projections were based on various assumptions that are subject to uncertainties and contingencies including, but not limited to, the amount and timing of projected net cash receipts, expected maturity events, counter party performance risk, changes to applicable regulation of the investment, shortage of funds needed to maintain the asset until maturity, changes in discount rates, life expectancy estimates and their relation to premiums, interest, and other costs incurred, among other items. These uncertainties and contingencies are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may impact our estimates and interest income. As a result, actual results could differ significantly from these projections. Therefore, subsequent to the purchase and on a regular basis, these future estimated cash flows were evaluated for changes. If the determination was made that the future estimated cash flows should be adjusted to the point of a material change in revenue, a revised effective yield was calculated prospectively based on the current amortized cost of the investment, including accrued accretion. Any positive or adverse change in cash flows would result in a prospective increase or decrease in the effective interest rate used to recognize interest income. Any significant adverse change in the cash flows that may have resulted in the recognition of an “other-than-temporary impairment” (“OTTI”), and would be evaluated by the Company accordingly.

We evaluate the carrying value of our investment in NIBs for impairment on a regular basis and adjust our total basis in the NIBs using new or updated information that affects our assumptions. We recognized impairment on a NIB contract when the fair value of the beneficial interest was less than the carrying amount of the investment, plus anticipated undiscounted future premiums and direct external costs, if any, and if there are adverse changes in cash flow. We had not recognized any impairment on our investment in NIBs from inception, through the year ended March 31, 2017.

Current Operations

Between May 2018 and July 2018, the Owners entered into agreements that completed a strict foreclosure transaction that transferred these policies from the owners to the lenders in full satisfaction of the loan obligation. As a result of the foreclosure, the Company has lost its position in the residual benefits of the policies and recognized a $22,950,126 impairment on the NIBs and $1,936,311 impairment of related interest receivable during the year ended March 31, 3018. Management concluded that the foreclosure event represented the culmination of conditions that provided indications affecting the realization of the Company’s investment in NIBs assets during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018. As a result, the Company recorded the impairment of the NIBs during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, and changed the classification of the Investment in NIBs from Held to Maturity to Available for Sale.

At June 30, 2018, the Company had fully impaired the Investment in NIBs, and the value of those assets were $0.

Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented using the treasury stock method. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by including common shares that may be issued subject to existing rights with dilutive potential, when applicable. Dilutive common stock equivalents are primarily comprised of stock options. Potentially dilutive shares resulting from convertible debt agreements are evaluated using the if-converted method, and such amounts were not dilutive.

For the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, options to exercise 400,000 shares were excluded because they were anti-dilutive. For the three months ended June 30, 2017 there were 2,106,875 options outstanding (including the 400,000 shares mentioned above) that were excluded because their effect would have been antidilutive. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, 1,706,875 options expired.

Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no changes to the significant accounting policies of the Company from the information provided in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s most recent Form 10-K, except as discussed in Note 2, below.

(2) NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Adopted During the Quarter Ended June 30, 2018

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, 2015-14, 2016-8, 10,11 and 12 and 2017-13 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which provides a single, comprehensive revenue recognition model for all contracts with customers. The core principal of the ASUs is that an entity should recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The ASUs also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. In July 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date of this standard. As a result, the standard and related amendments is effective for the Company for its fiscal year beginning April 1, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. Early application is permitted, but not before the original effective date of April 1, 2017. Entities are allowed to transition to the new standard by either retrospective application or recognizing the cumulative effect. The ASUs are not applicable to securitized beneficial interests that derive accreted yields and, therefore the Company will continue to follow the guidance in ASC 325-40. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01 regarding Financial Instruments, which amended guidance on the classification and measurement of financial instruments. Under the new guidance, entities will be required to measure equity investments that are not consolidated or accounted for under the equity method at fair value with any changes in fair value recorded in net income, unless the entity has elected the new practicability exception. For financial liabilities measured using the fair value option, entities will be required to separately present in other comprehensive income the portion of the changes in fair value attributable to instrument-specific credit risk. Additionally, the guidance amends certain disclosure requirements associated with the fair value of financial instruments. The standard is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning April 1, 2018, including interim reporting periods within that fiscal year. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. Historically, there has been a diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts/payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. To reduce the existing diversity in practice, this update addresses the eight cash flow issues as listed in the pronouncement. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning April 1, 2018, and interim periods within that fiscal year. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

June 30, 2018

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-17, Consolidation - Interests held through Related Parties that are under Common Control, which alters how a decision maker needs to consider indirect interests in a variable interest entity (VIE) held through an entity under common control. Under the new ASU, if a decision maker is required to evaluate whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, it will need to consider only its proportionate indirect interest in the VIE held through a common control party. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning April 1, 2017, including interim periods within that fiscal year. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements, as the Company has no related parties under common control that have the characteristics of a primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity.

On May 10, 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Scope of Modification Accounting, which amends the scope of modification accounting for share-based payment arrangements, provides guidance on the types of changes to the terms or conditions of share-based payment awards to which an entity would be required to apply modification accounting under ASC 718. For all entities, the ASU is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning April 1, 2018, including interim periods within that annual reporting period. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period. The adoption of this standard did not have material impact on the Company’s financial statements as the Company does not expect to make future modifications to existing share based payment awards.

Not Yet Adopted

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 related to the accounting for leases. This pronouncement requires lessees to record most leases on their balance sheet, while expense recognition on the income statement remains similar to current lease accounting guidance. The guidance also eliminates real estate-specific provisions and modifies certain aspects of lessor accounting. Under the new guidance, lease classification as either a finance lease or an operating lease will determine how lease-related revenue and expense are recognized. The pronouncement is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning April 1, 2019, and for interim periods within that fiscal year. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have an impact on the consolidated financial statements because leases are month-to-month and not material to the Company’s financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. ASU 2016-13 requires entities to report “expected” credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit rather than the current “incurred loss” model. These expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date are to be based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This ASU will also require enhanced disclosures relating to significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality. The amendments are effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning April 1, 2020, including interim periods within that fiscal year. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2016-13 will have on its consolidated financial statements and results of operations.

The Company has reviewed all other recently issued, but not yet adopted, accounting standards, in order to determine their effects, if any, on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Based on that review, the Company believes that none of these pronouncements will have a significant effect on its financial statements.

(3) LIQUIDITY REQUIREMENTS

Since the Company’s inception on January 31, 2013, its operations have been primarily financed through sales of equity, debt financing from related parties and the issuance of notes payable and convertible debentures. As of June 30, 2018, the Company had $44,858 of cash assets, compared to $936,902 as of March 31, 2018. As of June 30, 2018, the Company had access to draw an additional $5,900,492 on the notes payable, related party (see Note 6) and $3,000,000 on the Convertible Debenture Agreement (See Note 7). For the three months ended June 30, 2018, the Company’s average monthly operating expenses were approximately $120,000, which includes salaries of our employees, consulting agreements and contract labor, general and administrative expenses and legal and accounting expenses. The Company anticipates these monthly expenses to decrease to approximately $60,000 over the next 12 months. In addition to the monthly operating expenses, the Company continues to pursue other debt and equity financing opportunities, and as a result, a financing expense of $521,607 was incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2018. As management continues to explore additional financing alternatives, the Company is expected to spend an additional $400,000 to $800,000 over the next 12 months related to these efforts. Outstanding Accounts Payable as of June 30, 2018 totaled $147,290, and other accrued liabilities totaled $160,582. Management has concluded that its existing capital resources and availability under its existing convertible debentures and debt agreements with related parties will be sufficient to fund its operating working capital requirements for at least the next 12 months, or through October 2020. Related parties have given assurance that their continued support, by way of either extensions of due dates, or increases in lines-of-credit, can be relied on. As mentioned above, the Company also continues to evaluate other debt and equity financing opportunities.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis under which the Company is expected to be able to realize its assets and satisfy its liabilities in the normal course of business. Due to the foreclosure on the NIBs mentioned above, the company has no current source of operating revenues. In order to purchase NIBs, the Company will need to raise additional capital.

(4) INVESTMENT IN NET INSURANCE BENEFITS

The balance in Investment in NIBs at June 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018, and related activity for the periods then ended were as follows:

As outlined in Note 1, between May 2018 and July 2018, the Owners entered in agreements that completed a strict foreclosure transaction that transferred the policies to the lenders in full satisfaction of the loan obligation. As a result of the foreclosure, during the year ended March 31, 2018, the Company reduced the carrying value of the NIBs by $24,886,437,and received $9,269,568 from maturities and miscellaneous other adjustments to the underlying policies, thus reducing the carrying value of the NIBs at March 31, 2018 to $0.

(5) FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

As defined by ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”), fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 also requires the consideration of differing levels of inputs in the determination of fair values.

Those levels of input are summarized as follows:

SUNDANCE STRATEGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

June 30, 2018

The level in the fair value hierarchy within which a fair value measurement in its entirety falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

As mentioned in Note 1, due to the foreclosure that occurred between May 2018 and July 2018, the NIBs held by the Company were fully impaired and had no fair value at June 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018.

The Company did not have any transfers of assets and liabilities between Levels 1, 2 and 3 of the fair value measurement hierarchy during the three months ended June 30, 2018.

Other Financial Instruments

The Company’s recorded values of cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expenses and other assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values based on their short-term nature. The recorded values of the notes payable and convertible debenture approximate the fair values as the interest rate approximates market interest rates.

(6) NOTES PAYABLE, RELATED PARTY

As of June 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018, the Company had borrowed $829,508 excluding accrued interest, from related parties under notes payable agreements that allow for borrowings of up to $6,730,000, exclusive of accrued interest. There are no covenants associated with these agreements. The outstanding $829,508 was due November 30, 2018 (see Note 9 for subsequent due date extensions). In the event the Company completes a successful equity raise, principal and interest on notes payable totaling $865,866 are due in full at that time. The notes payable incur interest at 7.5% per annum. During the three months ended June 30, 2018 the Company neither borrowed nor repaid any principal under these agreements. As of June 30, 2018, the Company had availability to borrow up to $5,900,492. The interest associated with these notes of $36,358 and $20,427 is recorded on the balance sheet as an Accrued Expense obligation at June 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018, respectively. The related parties include the Chairman of the Board of Directors and a stockholder, and Radiant Life, LLC, an entity partially owned by the Chairman of the Board of Directors.

On December 6, 2017, the note payable, related party agreement that allowed for borrowings of up to $4,600,000 was amended to extend the due date from August 31, 2018 to August 31, 2019. At the time of the extension, the Company had no outstanding principal owing on that agreement. The $829,508 of notes payable owed as of December 31, 2017 was due November 30, 2018, and was later extended, through a series of amendments, to November 30, 2020. See Note 9 for a detail of activity on the Notes Payable, Related Party subsequent to June 30, 2018.

(7) CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE AGREEMENT

The Company has entered into an 8% convertible debenture agreement with Satco International, Ltd., that allows for borrowings of up to $3,000,000. The holder originally had the option to convert the outstanding principal and accrued interest to unregistered, restricted common stock of the Company on June 2, 2016. Per the agreement, the number of shares issuable at conversion shall be determined by the quotient obtained by dividing the outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest by 90% of the 90 day average closing price of the Company’s common stock from the date the notice of conversion is received; and the price at which the Debenture may be converted will be no lower than $1.00 per share. The original maturity date was June 2, 2016 but was later extended, through a series of extensions, to August 31, 2019. Subsequent to June 30, 2018, the Company agreed to amend the 8% Convertible Debenture Agreement and extended the due date and conversion rights to December 1, 2020 (see Note 9). As of June 30, 2018, and March 31, 2018, the Company owed $0 under the agreement, excluding accrued interest. The associated interest of $124,225 at June 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018 is recorded on the balance sheet as an Accrued expense obligation.

(8) COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND LEGAL MATTERS

Between May 2018 and July 2018, the lenders foreclosed on the loans associated with the underlying life insurance policies and the Company has recorded a $24,886,437 impairment on the NIBs during the year ended March 31, 2018.

(9) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Subsequent to June 30, 2018, the following events transpired:

On July 11, 2018, the Company issued 800,000 common shares in return for obtaining the remaining 27.8% ownership of certain NIBs. The transaction was recorded at $40,000, the estimated fair value of the common stock issued (which management believes approximated the fair value of the NIBs received on the date of the transaction).

In April 2013, 50,000 shares were transferred from a private party affiliate to a third-party service provider in exchange for future services to be rendered on behalf of the Company. Effective November 6, 2018, the Company cancelled the 50,000 shares, as the agreed upon services were never performed. Also on November 6, 2018, 35,000 shares were issued to a third party for future services to be rendered on behalf of the Company. The remaining 15,000 shares were reissued to the original private party affiliate.

Effective December 5, 2018, Ty D. Mattingly resigned his position on the Company’s Board of Directors. On December 6, 2018, Glenn S. Dickman and Stephen E. Quesenberry were named to the Company’s Board of Directors.

Effective December 6, 2018, three existing stockholders have contributed to the Company a portion of their common shares held at a repurchase price to the Company of $0.05 per share. The Company has cancelled the acquired shares, which decreased the outstanding common shares on the books of the Company. The total number of common shares canceled/retired was 8,000,000. The Company anticipates paying the $0.05 per share repurchase price upon a major financing event, as agreed upon between the Company and the stockholders. As of the date of this filing, the shares have been cancelled, but the related repurchase price has not yet been paid by the Company.

On December 6, 2018, the Company awarded three of its directors 300,000 shares each of the Company’s stock, in lieu of director compensation. The shares granted include a vesting period.

From July 25, 2018 to April 10, 2019, Mr. Dickman loaned the Company $535,000 through an unsecured promissory note, which bears interest at a rate of 8% annually. To date, the Company has not made any principal or interest payments under this note. As of the date hereof, the full $535,000 of principal is recorded as Notes Payable, Related Party, and the Company has accrued $42,460 of unpaid interest.

Subsequent to June 30, 2018, the Company has borrowed an additional $807,500 on the Notes Payable, Related Party (exclusive of the $535,000 loaned by Mr. Dickman). As of October 24, 2019, the outstanding principal balances of all Notes Payable, Related Party totaled $2,172,008 and the outstanding principal balance of the Convertible Debenture is $0.

On February 8, 2019 the note payable, related party agreement that allowed for borrowings of up to $4,600,000 was extended from August 31, 2019 to November 30, 2020. Subsequent to March 31, 2018, the note payable, related party agreement that allowed for borrowings of up to $2,130,000 was amended to extend the due date from November 30, 2018 to November 30, 2020.

On October 22, 2019, the Company agreed to amend the agreement to extend the due date and conversion rights on the Convertible Debenture from August 31, 2019 to December 1, 2020.

Item 2. Management’s Discussions and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

This discussion summarizes the significant factors affecting our consolidated operating results, financial condition, liquidity and capital resources at and during the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017. For a complete understanding, this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and Notes to the Financial Statements contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2018.

Forward-looking Statements

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) that are based on management’s beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to management. For this purpose any statement contained in this report that is not a statement of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking, including, but not limited to, statements relating to our future actions, intentions, plans, strategies, objectives, results of operations, cash flows and the adequacy of or need to seek additional capital resources and liquidity. Without limiting the foregoing, words such as “may”, “should”, “expect”, “project”, “plan”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “intend”, “budget”, “forecast”, “predict”, “potential”, “continue”, “should”, “could”, “will” or comparable terminology or the negative of such terms are intended to identify forward-looking statements, however, the absence of these words does not necessarily mean that a statement is not forward-looking. These statements by their nature involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results and outcomes to differ materially depending on a variety of factors, many of which are not within our control. Such factors include, but are not limited to, economic conditions generally and in the industry in which we and our customers participate; competition within our industry; legislative requirements or changes which could render our products or services less competitive or obsolete; our failure to successfully develop new products and/or services or to anticipate current or prospective customers’ needs; price increases; employee limitations; or delays, reductions, or cancellations of contracts we have previously entered into; sufficiency of working capital, capital resources and liquidity and other factors detailed herein and in our other filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC” or “Commission”). Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual outcomes may vary materially from those indicated.

Forward-looking statements are predictions and not guarantees of future performance or events. Forward-looking statements are based on current industry, financial and economic information which we have assessed but which by its nature is dynamic and subject to rapid and possibly abrupt changes. Our actual results could differ materially from those stated or implied by such forward-looking statements due to risks and uncertainties associated with our business. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Moreover, neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of these forward-looking statements and we hereby qualify all our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.

These forward-looking statements speak only as of their dates and should not be unduly relied upon. We undertake no obligation to amend this report or revise publicly these forward-looking statements (other than pursuant to reporting obligations imposed on registrants pursuant to the Exchange Act) to reflect subsequent events or circumstances, whether as the result of new information, future events or otherwise.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes contained elsewhere in this report and in our other filings with the Commission.

Overview

We are currently focused on the business of purchasing residual economic interests in a portfolio of life settlements. A life settlement is the sale of an existing life insurance policy to a third party for more than the policy’s cash surrender value, but less than the face value of the policy benefit. After the sale, the new policy holder will pay the premiums due on the policy until maturity and then collect the settlement proceeds at maturity.

We currently do not purchase or hold life settlement or life insurance policies but, rather, previously held a contractual right to receive the net insurance benefits, or NIBs, from a portfolio of life insurance policies held by a third party (“the Owners” or “the Holders”). These NIBs represent an indirect, residual ownership interest in a portfolio of individual life insurance policies and they allowed us to receive a portion of the settlement proceeds from such policies, after expenses related to the acquisition, financing, insuring and servicing of the policies underlying our NIBs have been paid.

We were not responsible for maintaining premiums or other expenses related to maintaining the underlying life settlement or life insurance policies. Ownership of the underlying life settlement or life insurance policies, and the related obligation to maintain such policies, remains with the entity that holds such policies. However, in the event of default of the owner, the Company may choose to expend funds on premiums, interest and servicing costs to protect its interest in NIBs, though the Company has no legal responsibility nor adequate funds for these payments.

NIBs are generally sold by an entity that holds the underlying life settlement or life insurance policies, either directly or indirectly through a subsidiary, such an entity being referred to herein as a “Holder.” A Holder, either directly or through a wholly owned subsidiary, purchases life insurance policies either from the insured or on the secondary market and aggregates them into a portfolio of policies. At the time of purchase, the Holder also (i) contracts with a service provider to manage the servicing of the policies until maturity, (ii) consider purchasing mortality re-insurance (“MRI”) coverage under which payments will be made to the Holder in the event the insurance policies do not mature according to actuarial life expectancies, and (iii) arranges financing to cover the initial purchase of the insurance policies, the servicing of the life insurance policies until maturity and the payment of the MRI premiums. The financing obtained by the Holder for a portfolio of life settlement or life insurance policies is secured by the insurance policies for which the financing was obtained. After a Holder purchases policies, aggregates them into a portfolio and arranges for the servicing, MRI coverage and financing, the Holder contracts to sell NIBs related to the policies, which gives the holder of the NIBs the right to receive the proceeds from the settlement of the insurance policies after all of the expenses related to such policies have been paid. When an insurance policy underlying our NIBs comes to maturity, the insurance proceeds are first used to pay expenses associated with such policy. Once all of the expenses have been paid, the Holder will retain a small percentage of the proceeds and then will pay the remaining insurance proceeds to us.

We began purchasing NIBs during our fiscal year ended March 31, 2013.

Plan of Operations

Life Settlements is not a market sector without competition and, at present, we are a minor competitor. We will need substantial additional funds to effectively compete in this industry and no assurance can be given that we will be able to adequately fund our current and intended operations through debt or equity financing. In addition, due to the foreclosure on the NIBs described below, the company has no current source of operating revenues. We may be required to expend funds on premiums, interest and servicing costs to protect our interest in NIBs, though we have no legal responsibility nor adequate funds for these payments. In the event that neither party fulfils the financial obligations pertaining to the premiums, interest and servicing costs, we would be required to evaluate our investment in NIBs for possible adverse impairment. During October 2017, the entities completed a refinancing of the loans that had matured. The agreements are with a new senior lending facility who previously provided MRI for the underlying policies. Between May 2018 and July 2018, the Holders entered into agreements that completed a strict foreclosure transaction that transferred the underlying life insurance policies relating to the Company’s NIBs to the lenders in full satisfaction of the loan obligation. As a result of the foreclosure, the Company has lost its position in the residual benefits of the policies and has reduced the carrying value of the NIBs at June 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018 to zero.

When we hold NIBs, we use an estimation methodology to project cash flows and returns as presented. The estimation model requires many assumptions, including, but not limited to the following: (i) an assumption that the distinct number of lives in our portfolio would exhibit similar experience to a statistically diverse portfolio from which mortality tables have been created; (ii) an assumption that the life expectancies (the “LE” or “LEs”) provided by LE providers represent the actuarial mean of the life expectancies of the insureds in our portfolio, (iii) the weighted average of the LEs provided by the LE providers represents an appropriate method for adjusting for discrepancies in the LEs; (iv) life expectancy tables and projections are accurate; (v) the minimum premiums calculated based on the in-force illustrations provided by life insurance carriers are accurate and will not change over the course of the lifetime of our portfolio; and (vi) the Holders’ Lender fees, MRI fees, and insurance, servicing and custodial fees will not change materially over time. While this method of modeling cash flows is helpful in providing a theoretical expectation of potential returns that might be produced from our NIBs portfolio, actual cash flows and returns inevitably will be different (possibly materially) due to the fact that predicting the exact date of death of any individual is virtually impossible. The provision of a theoretical cash flow model is by no means any guarantee of any results. The actual performance of these NIB interests (as well as our future expectations as to what such performance might be) may differ substantially from our expectations, especially if any of the assumptions change or differ from our initial assumptions.

Results of Operations

Interest Income

Due to the foreclosure agreement mentioned below, no interest income was recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2018 or 2017.

General & Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses totaled $352,550 and $547,581 during the three months ended June 30, 2018, and 2017, respectively. A significant portion of these expenses were professional fees, payroll and travel expenses.

Impairment of Net Insurance Benefits

No impairment on our investment in NIBs had been recognized from inception through the year ended March 31, 2017. Between May 2018 and July 2018, the Owners entered into agreements that completed a strict foreclosure transaction that transferred these policies from the owners to the lenders in full satisfaction of the loan obligation. As a result of the foreclosure, the Company lost its position in the residual benefits of the policies and recognized a $1,936,311 impairment of related interest receivable during the year ended June 30, 2017. In addition, we also recognized a $22,950,126 impairment on the NIBs, which is recorded in Other Expenses during the year ended March 31, 2018. Management concluded that the foreclosure event represented the culmination of conditions that provided indications affecting the realization of the Company’s investment in NIBs assets during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018. As a result, the Company recorded the impairment of the NIBs during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 and changed the classification of the Investment in NIBs from Held to Maturity to Available for Sale.

Other Income and Expenses

For the three months ended June 30, 2018, other income and expenses primarily consist of $521,607 of expenses incurred pursuing potential financing alternatives.

For the three months ended June 30, 2017, other income and expenses primarily consist of the $22,950,126 expense related to the impairment of the NIBs, which was a result of the Company losing its position in the residual benefits of the policies.

During the three months ended June 30, 2018, and 2017, interest expense accrued in the amount of $15,931 and $109,430, respectively. The decreased interest expense was due to substantially higher principal balances during the three months ended June 30, 2017.

Income Taxes

During the three months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recorded a net loss before income taxes of $890,088 and had no income tax expense or benefit as a result of a full valuation allowance on the net deferred tax asset.

During the three months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded a net loss before income taxes of $25,543,448. Due to material losses being recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2017, the Company’s deferred tax asset balance surpassed its deferred tax liabilities resulting in a full valuation allowance being recorded against its net deferred tax assets. Additionally, an income tax benefit was recorded for the reduction of the previously recorded net deferred tax liability balance at March 31, 2017 equal to $758,972.

As of March 31, 2018, the Company’s deferred tax assets exceeded deferred tax liabilities. The Company assessed the need for a valuation allowance against its deferred income tax assets at March 31, 2018. Factors considered in this assessment include recent and expected future earnings and the Company’s liquidity and equity positions. Consequently, during the year ended March 31, 2018, management had placed a 100% valuation allowance, totaling approximately $6,000,000 on the amount of the Company’s deferred tax assets exceeding deferred tax liabilities. An income tax benefit of $758,972 was recorded. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, the amount of the Company’s deferred tax assets remained in excess of its deferred tax liabilities. As a result, the Company continues to apply a 100% valuation allowance against its respective net deferred tax asset balance. Therefore, no income tax benefit or expense was recorded. The deferred tax assets primarily relate to net operating loss carryforwards.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since our inception our operations have been primarily financed through sales of equity instruments, debt financing, lines of credit and notes payable from related parties and the issuance of convertible debentures. As of June 30, 2018, we had $44,858 of cash, compared to $936,902 as of March 31, 2018. As of June 30, 2018, the Company had access to draw an additional $5,900,492 on the notes payable, related party and $3,000,000 on the Convertible Debenture Agreement. Our monthly expenses are approximately $60,000, which includes salaries of our employees, policy servicing expenses, consulting agreements and contract labor, general and administrative expenses, estimated legal and accounting expenses. Outstanding Accounts Payable as of June 30, 2018 totaled $147,290, and other accrued liabilities totaled $160,582. We believe that our availability under our existing lines of credit with related parties, our existing capital resources, together with the issuance of additional notes payable and convertible debentures and will be sufficient to fund our operating working capital requirements for at least the next 12 months, or through October 2020.

Debt

At June 30, 2018, we owed $990,090, including accrued interest, for debt obligations. We owed $829,508 in principal pursuant to notes payable and lines-of-credits from related parties and had fully paid off the principal owing on the 8% Convertible Debenture. As of June 30, 2018, one note payable and line-of-credit had a principal balance of $829,508 and is due on November 30, 2020, or when the Company completes a successful equity raise, at which time principal and interest is due in full. The second note payable and line-of-credit had no principal balance, and the line of credit is currently extended through November 30, 2020. The convertible debenture agreement, which has no principal balance due as of June 30, 2018 is open through December 1, 2020. As of October 24, 2019, there was $5,092,992 available under the lines-of-credit we currently have with related parties and $3,000,000 available under the 8% convertible debenture agreement. We may borrow money in the future to finance our operations, but can make no guarantees that such credit will be made available to us. Any such borrowing will increase the risk of loss to the debt holder in the event we are unsuccessful in repaying such loans.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

Not Applicable.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Limitation on the Effectiveness of Controls

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information, which is required to be disclosed timely, is accumulated and communicated to management in a timely fashion. In designing and evaluating such controls and procedures, we recognize that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Our management is necessarily required to use judgment in evaluating controls and procedures.

Evaluation of Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Identified Material Weakness in Internal Controls

Based on that evaluation, our principal executive and principal financial officer has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by the Quarterly Report were not effective due to the material weaknesses described below:

The design and operating effectiveness of our control environment and risk assessment, control activities and monitoring activities were inadequate to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Control Environment and Risk Assessment – The Company did not have an effective control environment with the structure necessary for effective internal controls over financial reporting. Further, the Company did not have an effective risk assessment to identify and assess risks associated with changes to the Company’s investment model and the impact on internal controls. The Company failed to ensure that proper policies and procedures were established to maintain an effective control environment. Specifically, the Company did not have policies and procedures in place to ensure that accounting conclusions are always thoroughly documented.

Information and Communication – The Company did not have effective information and communication activities to ensure the Company uses relevant information to support internal controls over financial reporting. Specifically, the Company did not always ensure that relevant information was provided to those responsible to document the Company’s accounting conclusions.

Control and Monitoring Activities – The Company did not have control activities that were designed and operating effectively including management review controls, monitoring and assessing the work of consultants, and verifying the completeness and accuracy of information. Specifically, the Company did not always maintain adequate procedures for the review of work performed by those responsible for reaching accounting conclusions and preparing disclosures and accounting schedules. Further, the Company did not always have procedures in place to thoroughly review the work of its consultants.

Our principal executive and principal financial officer also identified a material weakness in the design and operating effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting relating to processes and controls over review of information with sufficient precision including proper documentation to support accounting conclusions and communication and dissemination of information relevant to financial reporting. As defined in SEC Regulation S-X, a material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. As a result, even though no material misstatement was identified in the financial statements, it was determined that there was a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement in the Company’s financial statements would not have been prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Notwithstanding the identified material weakness, the Company believes the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly represent in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows at and for the periods presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The Company’s Plan to Remediate the Material Weakness

Our principal executive and principal financial officer is in the process of performing a review of our processes and controls over review of information with sufficient precision, including proper documentation to support accounting conclusions and communication and dissemination of information relevant to financial reporting. This includes an evaluation of existing procedures and controls to formalize, document and implement new policies and procedures for review of our various financial reporting processes. Although the review process has not been finalized, the Company has implemented a procedure to have the in-house lead attorney and chairman of the board of directors read all significant Exchange Act filings prior to issuance for the purposes of highlighting inconsistencies in filings with existing legal agreements and current business strategy.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that have occurred during the Company’s fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
