(1) ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company, without audit, in accordance with the instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”).

In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial information for the interim periods presented reflects all adjustments, consisting of only normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of operating results for an entire fiscal year.2021.

 

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. These condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments which, in the opinion

Organization and Nature of management, are necessary to present fairly the operations and cash flows for the periods presented.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”Strategies”, “the Company”, “we” or “we”“our”). The Company is engaged in the business of purchasing or acquiring and selling 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 and sale of net insurance benefit contracts (“NIBs”) based on life settlements or life insurance policies. The Company does not take possession or control of the policies. The Holder of the life settlements or life insurance policies acquire such policies at a discount to their face value. The Holder has available credit to pay forecasted premiums and expenses on the underlying policies until settlement. On settlement, the Company receives the net insurance benefit after all borrowings, interest and expenses have been paid by the Holder out of the settlement proceeds.

 

(2) NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTSSignificant Accounting Policies

 

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, 2015-14 and 2016-8, 10,11 and 12 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which provides a single, comprehensive revenue recognition model for all contracts with customers. The core principalThere have been no changes to the significant accounting policies of the ASUsCompany 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 below.

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 an entity should recognize revenuemay be issued subject to existing rights with dilutive potential, when it transfers promised goods or services to customersapplicable. Potential dilutive common stock equivalents are primarily comprised of potential dilutive shares resulting from convertible debt agreements and common stock warrants. Potentially dilutive shares resulting from convertible debt agreements are evaluated using the if-converted method. Potentially dilutive securities are not included 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 uncertaintycalculation 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 will be effectivediluted net loss per share 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 datethree months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, because to do so would be anti-dilutive. Potentially dilutive securities outstanding as of April 1, 2017. EntitiesJune 30, 2020 are allowed to transition to the new standard by either retrospective application or recognizing the cumulative effect. The Company is currently evaluating the guidance, including which transition approach will be applied and the estimated impact it will have on our consolidated financial statements. The Company does not believe adoptioncomprised of the ASUs will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.warrants convertible into 1,952,000 shares of common stock. No potentially dilutive securities were outstanding as of June 30, 2019.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15 Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The new standard provides guidance around management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.SUNDANCE STRATEGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

In January 2016,New Accounting Pronouncements

Adopted During 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 Company is currently evaluating the effect of the adoption of this guidance on the consolidated financial statements.

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 fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of the adoption of this guidance on the consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-06 related to the embedded derivative analysis for debt instruments with contingent call or put options. This pronouncement clarifies that an exercise contingency does not need to be evaluated to determine whether it relates only to interest rates or credit risk. Instead, the contingent put or call option should be evaluated for possible bifurcation as a derivative in accordance with the four-step decision sequence detailed in FASB ASC 815-15, without regard to the nature of the exercise contingency. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company does not believe the adoption of this guidance will have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The new standard is designed to simplify the areas of share based payments relating to income tax consequences. ASU 2016-09 is effective for the Company for its fiscal year beginning April 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of the adoption of this guidance on the consolidated financial statements.Three months Ended June 30, 2020

 

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 arebecame effective for the Company’s fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2016-13 will have on its consolidated financial statements and results of operations.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.

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 Company is currently evaluating the effect of the adoption of this guidance on the consolidated financial statements.Not Yet Adopted

 

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) ADVANCE FOR INVESTMENT IN NET INSURANCE BENEFITS

On June 7, 2013, the Company entered into an Asset Transfer Agreement (the “Del Mar ATA”) with Del Mar Financial, S.a.r.l. (“Del Mar”). As part of the Del Mar ATA, the Company entered into a Structuring and Consulting Agreement with Europa Settlement Advisors Ltd. (respectively, the “Europa Agreement” and “Europa”).(2) LIQUIDITY REQUIREMENTS

 

The Del Mar ATA involvedaccompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis under which the purchaseCompany is expected to be able to realize its assets and satisfy its liabilities in the normal course of certain life settlement assets consisting of the legal and net beneficial ownership interest in a portfolio of life insurance policies (the “NIBs”), among other assets that are consideration and collateral for certain cash advances and expense payments made by the Company. Accordingbusiness. Due to the Del Mar ATA, Del Mar, with the assistance of Europa, was obligated to convert the NIBs and other newly acquired NIBs into “Qualified NIBS.” As soon as Del Mar met its obligation to provide Qualified NIBs tofact that the Company any remaining NIBs and any other consideration and collateral would be returned or released to Del Mar. The original due date for the conversion was December 31, 2013, which date was subsequently extended several times. On April 30, 2015, the Company finalized an amendment to the Del Mar ATA and the related Europa Agreement to extend the deadline until August 31, 2015.

The remaining consideration and collateral under the Del Mar ATA, as of September 1, 2015, primarily consisted of approximately 72.2% of the NIBs associated with a portfolio of life settlement policies having a face value that originally totaled $94,000,000. The remaining 27.8% interestedis in the NIBs were held by other parties. During June 2015, oneprocess of the life settlement policies matured for $10,000,000 (the “Matured Policy”), lowering the remaining face value of such life settlement policiesseeking NIB investments to $84,000,000. The premiums and expenses related to the maintenance of these life insurance policies are financed by a loan from a lender.

As Del Mar was unable to provide the required amount of Qualified NIBs by the extended due date of August 31, 2015, effective September 1, 2015, the agreements with Del Mar and Europa were cancelled and the Company obtained full ownership and control of the collateral, which included theacquire as mentioned above, mentioned approximately 72.2% of the NIBs associated with the $84,000,000 face value of life settlement policies and certain rights to net proceeds relating to the Matured Policy.

On September 30, 2015, the Company transferred to Investment in NIBs the remaining balance of advances and expense payments to Del Mar, totaling $3,368,380, which approximates fair value. This amount was residing in advance for investment in NIBs before being transferred to investment in NIBs (see Note 4).

The bulk of the $10,000,000 proceeds paid in connection with the Matured Policy were used to repay loans secured by such Matured Policy. However, on September 10, 2015, the Company received $1,094,335 as a result of the rights associated with the Matured Policy. These proceeds were allocated $239,415 to pay off a note receivable (including interest), $547,308 to reimburse the Company for expense payments made to or on behalf of Del Mar and $307,612 as a refund of advance payments previously made to or on behalf of Del Mar as part of the Del Mar ATA.

9

The $547,308 and $307,612 proceeds, which together total $854,920, were applied to reduce Advance for Investment in NIBs.

In addition to obtaining full and unrestricted rights to the NIBs upon termination of the Del Mar ATA and Europa Agreement, the Company also is entitled to receive liquidated damages from Del Mar in an amount equal to 100% of any cash advances made under the Del Mar ATA. The Company is currently determining the extent of the liquidated damages claim and Del Mar’s ability to pay any such liquidated damages. The liquidated damages are computed pro rata, based upon the percentage of Qualified NIBs delivered by Del Mar under the Del Mar ATA. The Company received $90,600,000 in Qualified NIBs or approximately 22.65% of the $400,000,000 in Qualified NIBs due under the Del Mar ATA. Accordingly, once 22.65% of its costs and expenses are deducted, the Company would be entitled to receive the remaining amount of its costs and expenses, times two, as liquidated damages. As a result of the termination, the Company has no further payment obligationscurrent source of operating revenues. In order to Del Marpurchase NIBs, the Company will need to raise additional capital or fee obligations to Europa.secure alternative sources of debt financing.

issuance of notes payable and convertible debentures. As explained in Note 3,of June 30, 2020, the Company transferred $3,368,380 from advance for investment in NIBs into investment in NIBs on September 30, 2015.  

The estimated fair valuehad $11,862 of the Company’s investment in NIBs approximated carrying value at September 30, 2016, with fair value calculated using level 3 inputs as there is little observable market data available and management is requiredcash assets, compared to use significant judgment in its estimates.  

During April 2016, the Company received $1,417,870 in cash proceeds associated with the $10,000,000 maturity explained in Note 3 and miscellaneous adjustments to other underlying policies. The cash proceeds had the effect of reducing accrued interest on NIBs.

The investment in NIBs is a residual economic beneficial interest in a portfolio of life insurance policies that have been financed by an independent third party via a loan from a senior lender and insured via a mortality risk insurance product or mortality re-insurance (“MRI”).  Future expected cash flow is defined as the net insurance proceeds from death benefits after senior debt repayment, mortality risk repayment and service provider or other third-party payments. 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 held a 100% interest in the NIBs relating to the underlying life insurance policies$28,784 as of March 31, 2015. During the year ended March 31, 2016 we acquired NIBs in which the holders2020. As of the underlying policies only owned 72%. Therefore, as of SeptemberJune 30, 20162020, the Company holds between 72%had access to draw an additional $4,980,492 on the notes payable, related party (see Note 5) and 100% in$3,000,000 on the NIBs relatingConvertible Debenture Agreement (See Note 6). For the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company’s average monthly operating expenses were approximately $45,000, which includes salaries of our employees, consulting agreements and contract labor, general and administrative expenses and legal and accounting expenses. In addition to the underlying life insurance policies.

The Company accounts for its investment in NIBs at the initial investment value increased for interest income and decreased for cash receipts received by the Company.  At the time of transfer or purchase of an investment in NIBs,monthly operating expenses, the Company estimates the future expected cash flowscontinues to pursue other debt and determines the effective interest rate based on these estimated cash flowsequity financing opportunities, and our initial investment. Based on this effective interest rate, the Company calculates accretable income, which is recorded as interest income on investment in NIBs in the statement of

10

operations.  Our current projections are based off of various assumptions including, but not limited to, the amount and timing of projected net cash receipts, expected maturity events, 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 are evaluated for changes. If the determination is made that the future estimated cash flows should be significantly adjusted, a revised effective yield is calculated prospectively based on the current amortized costfinancing expense of the investment, including accrued accretion. Any positive or adverse change in cash flows that does not result in the recognition of an “other-than-temporary impairment” (“OTTI”) results in a prospective increase or decrease in the effective interest rate used to recognize interest income.

During July 2015 a group of persons located in the United States (the “Purchasers”) acquired the entities that owned all of the portfolios of life insurance policies underlying the Company’s NIBs.  In connection with this purchase, the Purchasers and the respective owners of these portfolios entered into a settlement agreement releasing such owners and their managers from liability related to their ownership and management of the entities that owned the respective portfolios of life insurance contracts.  The Company and Purchasers agreed to indemnify the prior owners of such portfolios against future claims in connection with the issuance of the NIBs or their ownership or management of the entities sold, based on actions that occurred prior to this sale to the Purchasers. The Company and Purchasers further agreed to maintain certain liquidity requirements of the entities underlying the NIBs for a period of 15 months following the acquisition by the Purchasers, which 15 month period expired in October 2016. If such liquidity$74,500 was not provided, the Company and Purchasers were obligated to indemnify the prior owners and managers of the entities against third party claims for unpaid expenses. Neither the purchase of these entities nor the Settlement Agreement resulted in any material change in the Company’s NIBs ownership interest. The Company was supportive of the Purchasers acquiring the entities that owned the portfolios of life insurance contracts underlying the Company’s NIBs and was willing to provide the indemnification because it believed this ownership change would result in a reduction of costs and expenses associated with ownership of the NIBs, which would increase their intrinsic value. The Company was made aware by the Purchasers that credit was presently no longer available to pay certain costs to maintain the structure of the underlying life insurance policies. The Company’s obligations to provide liquidity under the Settlement Agreement have now expired and the Company is not legally obligated for costs incurred by the entities underlying the NIBs. However, if credit does not become available, whether it be by proceeds from a future maturity or other negotiations, the Company may provide such liquidity to protect its investment in the NIBs. The total historical unpaid costs incurred prior to the ownership transition and potential unpaid cost incurred after the ownership transition approximates $370,000 and $580,000, respectively, for an estimated total of $950,000. The Company believes the probable amount it will ultimately pay is approximately $316,667. Therefore, the Company has accrued $316,667 during the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2020. As management continues to accountexplore additional financing alternatives, the Company is expected to spend an additional $350,000 over the next 12 months related to these efforts. Outstanding Accounts Payable as of June 30, 2020 totaled $499,817, and other accrued liabilities totaled $489,559. 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 this uncertainty.at least the next 12 months from the issuance of these financial statements. 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 recent outbreak of COVID-19 originated in Wuhan, China, in December 2019 and has since spread to multiple countries, including the United States and several European countries. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak a pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic is affecting the United States and global economies and may affect the Company’s operations and those of third parties on which the Company relies. While the potential economic impact brought by, and the duration of, the COVID-19 pandemic is difficult to assess or predict, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global financial markets may reduce the Company’s ability to access capital, which could negatively impact the Company’s short-term and long-term liquidity. The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is highly uncertain and subject to change. The Company anticipatesdoes not yet know the full extent of potential delays or impacts on its business, financing or other activities or on healthcare systems or the global economy as a whole. However, these effects could have a material impact on the Company’s liquidity, capital resources, operations and business and those of the third parties on which we rely.

(3) 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:

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices, such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

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.

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, 2020 and 2019.

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.

The PPP Loan may be partially or fully forgiven if the Company complies with the provisions of the CARES Act, including the use of PPP Loan proceeds for payroll costs, rent, utilities and other expenses, provided that such amounts are incurred during a 24-week period that commenced on this agreement.


(8)  LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
April 20, 2020, and at least 60% of any forgiven amount has been used for covered payroll costs as defined by the CARES Act. Any forgiveness of the PPP Loan will be subject to approval by the SBA and the Lender and will require the Company to apply for such treatment in the future.

 

Since the Company’s inception on January 31, 2013, its operations have been primarily financed through sales of equity, debt financing, lines of credit from related parties and the issuance of notes payable and convertible debentures. As of September 30, 2016, the Company had $34,348 of cash assets, compared to $24,717 as of March 31, 2016. As of November 9, 2016, the Company has access to draw an additional $1,125,247 on the notes payable and lines-of-credit, related party (see Note 5) and $2,300,000 on the Convertible Debenture Agreement (See Note 7). The Company’s average monthly expenses are expected to be approximately $262,000, which includes salaries of our employees, consulting agreements and contract labor, general and administrative expenses and estimated legal and accounting expenses. The Company believes that its existing capital resources, together with the issuance of additional notes payable and convertible debentures and availability under its existing lines of credit with related parties, will be sufficient to fund its operating working capital requirements for at least the next 12 months, or through November 15, 2017. It is to be noted that $1,500,000 of notes payable and lines-of-credit currently owed as of September 30, 2016 is due November 30, 2017 (see Notes 5 and 7 for debt maturity dates). The Company continues to evaluate other debt and equity financing opportunities and in August 2016 paid a financing advance of $100,000 to a group for a potential line-of-credit offering. While the Company believes it has sufficient liquidity and capital resources to fund its projected operating requirements through November 15, 2017, it does not anticipate having adequate cash flows from operations for three to four years, and until a revenue stream has been established, it will require debt or equity financing to fund its current and intended business and any future purchases of NIBs.

(8) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

IfSubsequent to June 30, 2020, the Company is unable to raise sufficient capital through the planned securities and debt offerings or other alternative sources of financing, management will curtail NIB purchases. Under this plan, expenditures for NIBs will be curtailed. following events transpired:

(9) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES2021.

 

As explained in Note 1, the Company is focused on the purchase and sale of NIB’s based on life settlements or life insurance policies. The Company does not take possession or control of the policies. The Holder of the life settlements or life insurance policies acquires such policies at a discount to their face value. The Holder has available credit to pay forecasted premiumsborrowed an additional $48,500 on Notes Payable, Related Party and expenses on the underlying policies until settlement. On settlement, the Company receives the net insurance benefit after all borrowings, interest and expenses have been paid by the Holder out of the settlement proceeds. However, in the event of default of the Holder, the Company may be required to expend funds on premiums, interest and servicing costs over the next five years to protect its interest in NIBs, though the Company has 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, the Company would be required to evaluate its investment in NIBs for possible adverse impairment. In addition, see Note 4 relating to associated commitments and contingencies affiliated with life settlements or life insurance policies.issued 97,000 warrants.

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 engaged incurrently 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, holdpreviously held a contractual right to receive the net insurance benefits, or NIBs, from a portfolio of life insurance policies held by a third party.party (“the Owners” or “the Holders”). These NIBs represent an indirect, residual ownership interest in a portfolio of individual life insurance policies and they allowallowed 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 arewere 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) purchasesconsider 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 in satisfaction of our related NIBs.us.

 

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

Plan of Operations

 

Our plan of operation for the next 12 months is to continue the acquisition and possible sale of NIBs. ThisLife 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 whether through revenues generated from our current interest in our NIBs or through debt or equity financing. WeThe Company has no current source of operating revenues. When we hold NIBs we may be required to expend funds on premiums, interest and servicing costs over the next five years 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. These payments are currently being made through an unrelated senior lending facility.

 

 We currently estimate proceeds of approximately $106.6 million on theWhen we hold NIBs, we owned as of September 30, 2016, and acquired from PCH Financial S.a.r.l., a société à responsabilité limitée incorporated and existing under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (“PCH”), Del Mar Financial S.a.r.l., a société à responsabilité limitée incorporated and existing under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (“Del Mar”), and HFII Assets Solutions, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“HFII”).  This amount is based on the estimated proceeds from polices of $402.5 million in face value, which includes estimated return of premiums; less the senior loan debt and MRI repayments outstanding of approximately $121.6 million, expected premium payments of $104.6 million over the life expectancies of the insured persons in these portfolios and estimated expenses and interest of approximately $69.7 million over the term of the senior loans.

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. These portfolios currently contain only 130 fractionalized policies on 71 individual insureds, though insurance rating agencies have stated that at least 1,000 lives are required to achieve actuarial stability. Many risk factors beyond these assumptions may result in our expectations being incorrect; therefore, no assurance can be given that these estimated results will occur.

Income Recognition

At the time of transfer or purchase of an investment in NIBs, we estimate the future expected cash flows from such NIBs and determine the effective interest rate that, when applied to our initial investment in such NIBs, would yield these estimated cash flows. We accrue income on a monthly basis by applying this interest rate to our investment in the related NIBs, and such income is recorded as interest income on investment in NIBs in the statement of operations. This accretable income is based on the effective yield method and effectively represents the total amount of cash flows we expect to receive over the life of each pool of NIBs less the amount of our initial investment in such NIBs. Subsequent to the purchase of a given pool of NIBs and on a regular basis, these future estimated cash flows are evaluated for changes. If we determine that the future estimated cash flows should be significantly adjusted, a revised effective yield is calculated and applied prospectively. Any positive or adverse change in cash flows that does not result in the recognition of an “other-than-temporary impairment” (“OTTI”) results in a prospective increase or decrease in the effective interest rate used to recognize interest income.

Interest Income

 

InterestDue to the Company not holding NIBs, no interest income on investment in NIBs totaled $1,419,427 and $863,439was recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2016, and 2015 respectively.  The increase is primarily due to the acquisition of additional NIBs during September 2015, and adjustments to the cash flow models during the quarter ended June 30, 2016, which resulted in an increase to the effective interest rate used to recognize income on the NIBs.2020 or 2019.

 

General & Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses totaled $885,493$124,341 and $897,637$282,978 during the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2020, and 2015,2019, respectively. A significant portion of these expenses were professional fees and payroll travel expenses,costs.

Other Income and policy servicing expenses. We were made aware that credit was presently no longer available to pay certain costs to maintain the structure of the underlying life insurance policies. Although we are not legally obligated for costs incurred by the entities underlying the NIBs, if credit does not become available, whether it be by proceeds from a future maturity or other negotiations, we may opt to pay certain fees to protect our investment in the NIBs. We believe the probable amount of fees we will pay will approximate $316,667. Therefore, we have accrued $316,667 duringExpenses

For the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2020 and 2019, other expenses related to account for this uncertainty. We will assess this uncertainty throughout the year ended March 31, 2017,pursuing potential financing alternatives were $74,500 and will adjust the amount accrued as more information becomes available. 

Other Income and Expenses

Other income and expenses primarily consist of interest on the note payable related-party and convertible debenture, as well as interest income. During the three months ended September 30, 2016, and 2015, interest expense has accrued in the amount of $92,946 and $51,390$50,000, respectively. The increase is attributable to higher balances on the notes payable related-party.

Six-Months Ended September 30, 2016 Compared with Six-Months Ended September 30, 2015

Interest Income

Interest income on investment in NIBs totaled $2,873,298 and $1,687,469 for the six months ended September 30, 2016, and 2015 respectively.  The increase is primarily due to the acquisition of additional NIBs in September 2015, and adjustments to the cash flow models during the quarter ended June 30, 2016, which resulted in an increase to the effective interest rate used to recognize income on the NIBs.

General & Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses totaled $1,612,935 and $1,493,591 during the six months ended September 30, 2016, and 2015, respectively.  A significant portion of these expenses were professional fees, payroll travel expenses, and policy servicing expenses. We were made aware that credit was presently no longer available to pay certain costs to maintain the structure of the underlying life insurance policies. Although we are not legally obligated for costs incurred by the entities underlying the NIBs, if credit does not become available, whether it be by proceeds from a future maturity or other negotiations, we may opt to pay certain fees to protect our investment in the NIBs. We believe the probable amount of fees we will pay will approximate $316,667. Therefore, we have accrued $316,667 during the six months ended September 30, 2016, to account for this uncertainty. We will assess this uncertainty throughout the year ended March 31, 2017, and will adjust the amount accrued as more information becomes available.

Other Income and Expenses

Other income and expenses primarily consist of interest on the note payable related-party and convertible debenture, as well as interest income. During the six months ended September 30, 2016, and 2015, interest expense

has accrued in the amount of $178,828 and $90,592 respectively. The increase is attributable to higher balances on the notes payable related-party.  

Income Taxes

During the six months ended September 30, 2016, we recorded net income before income taxes of $1,081,535, and also recorded an income tax expense of $261,862. During the six months ended September 30, 2015, we recorded a net income before income taxes of $108,527, but had no income tax expense due to the existence of net operating loss carryforwards which are fully reserved with a valuation allowance.

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 SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2020, we had $34,348$11,862 of cash, compared to $24,717$28,784 as of March 31, 2016.2020. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had access to draw an additional $4,980,492 on the notes payable, related party and $3,000,000 on the Convertible Debenture Agreement. Our monthly expenses are betweenanticipated to be approximately $215,000 and $309,000,$70,000, which includes salaries of our employees, policy servicing expenses, consulting agreements and contract labor, general and administrative expenses, estimated legal and accounting expenses,expenses. Outstanding Accounts Payable as of June 30, 2020 totaled $499,817, and accruals for certain costs associated with the underlying life insurance policies, mentioned above.other accrued liabilities totaled $489,559. 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 availability under our existing lines of credit with related parties will be sufficient to fund our operating working capital requirements for at least the next 12 months, or through November 15, 2017. While we believe we have sufficient liquidity and capital resources to fund our projected operating requirements through November 15, 2017, we do not anticipate having adequate cash flows from operations for three to four years, and until a cash flow stream from NIBs has been established. We will require debt or equity financing to fund our current and intended business and any future purchases of NIBs.

As a result, we believe that we will need to raise approximately $45 million in additional funds through equity or debt financing to fully expand on our business model during 2017 and beyond. Although we are actively pursuing opportunities to raise additional equity and debt capital, funding may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. Also, market conditions may prevent us from accessing the debt and equity capital markets. If we do raise additional capital through public or private equity offerings, the ownership interest of our existing stockholders will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences or other terms that adversely affect our stockholders’ rights or further complicate raising additional capital in the future. If we raise additional capital through debt financing, we may be subject to covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. If we are unable, for any reason, to raise needed capital, we may need to reduce, or discontinue, operations.August 2021.

 

We raised $11,942,500 (gross) in our private placement that commenced in April 2013. During the six months ended September 30, 2016, we used $231,425 in financing activities compared to $582,000 net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended September 30, 2015. During the six months ended September 30, 2016, we borrowed an additional $768,575 under the Notes Payable and Lines of Credit, Related Party agreements. We also repaid $150,000 during the six months ended September 30, 2016. In addition, during the six months ended September 30, 2016, we paid out the $750,000 Mandatorily Redeemable Common Stock Payable recorded on the balance sheet as of March 31, 2016, and we also paid $100,000 as a financing advance.Debt

 

During March 2015, we agreed to pay $150,000 in cash, issue 1,130,000 shares of common stock and forgive a note receivable with an outstanding amount of $150,000 in exchange for relief of a $1,493,254 note payable and the receipt of NIBs. The net consideration given for the relief of the note payable and receipt of NIBs totaled $1,493,254 and $7,846,746 respectively, for a total of $9,340,000. The holder of the shares issued pursuant to the transaction was given the right to require us to redeem 187,500 shares for $8.00 per share ($1,500,000 in total). OnAt June 9, 2015, the holder exercised a portion of the redemption right relating to 93,750 shares and, as a result, we paid the holder $750,000 to redeem the shares. On March 25, 2016, the holder exercised the redemption right in relation to the remaining shares and on April 12, 2016, we paid the holder an additional $750,000 to redeem the remaining shares. At March 31, 2016, the $750,000 associated with the redemption had been classified on the balance sheet as Mandatorily Redeemable Common Stock.

17

For the six months ended September 30, 2016 we recorded net cash provided by operating activities of $241,056, compared to $1,036,133 used in operating activities during the six months ended September 30, 2015. The increase in operating cash flows was primarily due to the receipt of approximately $1,400,000, which was an approved distribution from the policy holders as a return on our interest in NIBs. During the six month period ended September 30, 2016, we had an unusual net inflow of cash from operating activities. However, because we are in the early stages of our accretion model, we typically expect to use cash from operating activities during most reporting periods. 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis under which we are expected to be able to realize our assets and satisfy our liabilities in the normal course of business. To continue as a going concern beyond the period ending November 15, 2017, and to continue to acquire NIBs we will need to complete securities and debt offerings or obtain alternative sources of financing. Absent additional financing, we will not have the necessary resources to execute our business plan.

Any such borrowing will increasepartial or full forgiveness if we comply with the riskprovisions of lossthe CARES Act (see Note 7 of the Notes to the debt holder in the event we are unsuccessful in repaying such loans.Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more detail).

The notes payable and lines-of-credit incur interest at 7.5 percent and are collateralized by Investment in NIBs. During the six months ended September 30, 2016, we borrowed an additional $768,576 under these agreements. We also repaid $150,000 during the six months ended September 30, 2016. The related parties include a person who is 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.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

 

Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to the valuation of investment in NIBs and related income recognition. Increases in general interest rates would similarly increase the interest rates used in our financial models. Such increases would result in decreases in the present value of expected future cash flows from our NIBs and, as a result, decrease income accrued on our investment in NIBs. The Company’s assessment of market risk as of September 30, 2016 indicates there have been no material changes in the quantitative and qualitative disclosures from those in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2016 filed with the SEC.Not Applicable.

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 Disclosure 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. Based on that evaluation, our President who is also deemed to be our acting CFO,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 effective and that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our President and our acting CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.  A controls system cannot provide absolute assurance, however, that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.effective.
