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, 2021, which was filed with the SEC on June 29, 2021. The results from operations for the three-month
period ended December 31, 2021, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ended March 31,
2022.
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”).
Our
historical business model has focused on 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
of 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.”
During
the latter part of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021, the Company began developing an additional business offering, providing professional
services to specialty structured finance groups, bond issuers and life settlement aggregators. The Company has now assembled an experienced
team from the life settlement marketplace, as well as from other areas such as financial services and public financial markets. As a
professional services provider, the Company applies industry best practices to advise on the selection of specific portfolios of life
insurance policies that are tailored to meet the needs of its clients. The Company’s clients may include bond issuers, bond investors,
or other structured finance product issuers. The Company develops strategies and methodologies which include the acquisition of life
insurance portfolios, then uses common structured finance techniques and proprietary analytics to structure bonds for issuances, including
principal protected bonds. The Company’s goal is to deliver long-term value and profitability to shareholders by growing the Company’s
professional services business and asset base, resulting in the ability to pay dividends to its shareholders.
Most
recently the Company began working closely with bond placement agents and aggregators to establish various aspects of a proprietary,
investment grade bond offering. In this arrangement, the Company participates as the sole originator in the role of structuring and advising
on the structure of the proprietary bond instrument. Included in the role of structuring financial assets, the Company uses proprietary
analytics to establish the makeup of the rated instrument, including but not limited to, life settlement assets (life insurance policies)
and managed cash, and implements a process of selective assembly of the underlying assets and cash management that will meet the policy
requirements and analytics. The Company provides current and ongoing resources for all analytics, as well as advisement support for the
investment and non-investment grade ratings for the managed asset pool and the managed cash accounts. In its advisory role, the Company
is reimbursed for all expenses associated with the structuring and preparation of any bond offering, will receive an advisory payment
upon the closing of any bond offering, and then will hold residual rights on the balance of assets once the bond is retired.
During
the quarter ended June 30, 2021, the Company and US Capital Global Securities LLC, an affiliate of US Capital Global, entered into an
arrangement wherein the Company is the lead advisor and lead originator of tailored life insurance portfolios to be used in a life insurance-linked
bond offering (“bond offering”) of between $250 million to $500 million. US Capital Global Securities LLC is the lead placement
agent and is marketing the bond offering on behalf of the issuer on a best-efforts basis to qualified investors. The Company has worked
with Egan Jones rating agency to obtain a minimum of BBB plus to an A minus rating on the bond offering. This initial rating is based
upon a sample portfolio of life settlement assets similar to those expected to be utilized in the bond offering. Once a percentage of
the bond offering is in escrow, then the actual life settlement portfolios will be purchased and held until the bond offering closes.
Once the final group of assets are assembled, then a final rating will be obtained. The Company has engaged a licensed asset manager,
whose projected returns will be approved by the rating agency. Important for the success of the bond is the treatment of the various
cash accounts that will support the bond. The two primary accounts will be the Investment account and the Cash Reserve account. These
accounts will represent approximately 40% of the total cash raised from the bond offering. The Investment and Cash Reserve accounts are
projected to produce sufficient annual returns to support the cost associated to maintain the bonds. A nationally recognized trust manager
has been engaged to insure all the workings of the bond are handled properly and timely. An actuarial company has also been engaged to
provide the modeling needed for the rating agency, asset manager and bond issuer. For services provided, the Company will receive a fee
upon the closing on the bond offering and will also hold a residual monetary right to cash flows from the life settlement assets once
the bond is retired.
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 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 may be issued
subject to existing rights with dilutive potential, when applicable. 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 the
calculation of diluted net loss per share for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, because to do so would be anti-dilutive.
Potentially dilutive securities outstanding as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 are comprised of warrants convertible into 4,958,754 and
3,488,754 shares of common stock, respectively.
New
Accounting Pronouncements
Not
Yet Adopted
The
Company has reviewed all 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.
(2)
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 December 31, 2021, the Company had $53,393
of cash assets, compared to $21,179
as of March 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2021,
the Company had access to draw an additional $4,704,192
on the notes payable, related party (see
Note 6) and $2,700,000
on the Convertible Debenture Agreement (See Note
7). For the nine months ended December 31, 2021, the Company’s average monthly operating expenses were approximately $50,000,
which includes salaries of our employees, consulting agreements and contract labor, general and administrative expenses and legal and
accounting expenses. In addition to the monthly operating expenses, the Company continues to pursue other debt and equity financing opportunities,
and as a result, financing expenses of $10,200
were incurred during the three months ended December
31, 2021. As management continues to explore additional financing alternatives, beginning January 1, 2022 the Company is
expected to spend up to an additional $400,000
on these efforts. Outstanding Accounts Payable
as of December 31, 2021 totaled $557,222.
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
February 2023. 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
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 does 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.
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.

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 nine months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.
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.

STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Common
Stock
On
May 4, 2021, the Company issued 1,200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to members of the Board of Directors in lieu of
director compensation. The stock awards vested 25% on the date of grant and the remainder of the shares vested equally over the three
months following the date granted. Using a fair value stock price of $0.062 per share, the transaction resulted in a compensation expense
of $73,920, of which $55,440 was partially recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2021, and the remainder was recognized during
the three months ending September 30, 2021.
On
October 29, 2021, the Company issued a private placement memorandum offering to raise up to $500,000
through the issuance of restricted shares of
the Company’s common stock (par value $0.001)
to qualified investors. On November 5, 2021, the Company received a subscription agreement from an investor, for 40,000
common shares at a purchase price of $5

During
the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021, the Company’s related party lenders consisting of: the Chairman of the Board of Directors
and a stockholder, Radiant Life, LLC and Mr. Dickman, the holder of the related party unsecured promissory notes, all amended their agreements
to provide each related party with common stock warrants upon the lender’s extension of a maturity due date or upon the loaning
of additional monies. The
number of warrants issued for an extension is based on the following formula: 10,000 warrants per month the due date is extended plus
1 warrant for every $2 of the principal balance outstanding (not including interest) at the time of the extension (rounded to the nearest
whole warrant). Upon the loaning of additional
monies, the lender will also require 2 warrants for each dollar loaned. All warrants issued under these terms vested immediately upon
issuance, have an exercise price of $0.05
and expire 5
years from the date of issuance.
During
the nine months ended December 31, 2021, the Company issued 200,000 warrants to Radiant Life, LLC and 20,000 warrants to the Chairman
of the Board of Directors and a stockholder in conjunction with monies borrowed during the period (see Note 6) per the terms outlined
above.
On
April 6, 2021, the Company borrowed $300,000
under an unsecured
promissory note with Satco International, Ltd. (see Note 5). In conjunction with this note, the Company issued a warrant for 1,000,000
shares of common stock, vested immediately
upon issuance, exercisable at $1.00
per share and expiring in 3
years from the date of the promissory note. The
value of the warrants on the date of grant, as calculated by the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model, was not significant. The inputs
used in this calculation included a fair value of $0.062
per share, a risk-free rate of 0.35%,
volatility of 50.3%
and a dividend rate of 0%.
On
July 29, 2021, the Company borrowed an additional $50,000
from Radiant Life, LLC, a related party. In conjunction
with this specific loan event, a one-time agreement specifies that the associated warrants issued totaled 50,000,
vested immediately upon issuance, have an exercise price of $2.00,
and expire in 5
years.
On
November 5, 2021, the Company issued 40,000 common shares of its common stock to an investor at a purchase price of $5 per share, including
200,000 warrants exercisable at $5 per share, vested immediately upon issuance, with a five year expiration. Proceeds to the Company
totaled $200,000.

exercise of the warrants are not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the holders of the warrants do not have registration
rights with respect to the warrants or the underlying shares of common stock.

5, 2021. On August 9, 2021, the note was amended to extend the due date from July 5, 2021
to November 30, 2021 , or at the immediate time when alternative financing or
other proceeds are received. This extension has no bearing on the warrants that were issued in conjunction with the original promissory
note.

of $124,225 is recorded on the balance sheet as an Accrued Expense obligation at December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021.
(8)
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Subsequent
to December 31, 2021, the following events transpired:
The
Company borrowed an additional $100,000
under the note payable and lines of credit
agreement with Radiant Life, LLC and, in conjunction,
issued 200,000
warrants.
On January 1, 2022, the Company
entered into a marketing and consulting agreement with Tradability, LLC (“Consultant”) that requires the Company to make
an initial $100,000 payment and up to an additional $400,000 in the future (which will be financed by the Consultant via a promissory
note). The $400,000 obligation is contingent upon the Consultant and the Company successfully reaching certain milestones. Further, the
agreement requires the Company to issue between 1,000,000 and 10,000,000 stock options (which are exercisable into the Company’s
common stock at prices between $1.00 to $2.50 per share) contingent upon the Consultant and the Company successfully reaching certain
milestones. The milestones primarily relate to the Consultant finalizing the tokenization of 500 million non-fungible tokens (“NFTs”)
and the successful placement of NFTs with proceeds of between $100 million and $500 million. The proceeds will be used to purchase Life
Settlements for which the Company will be an advisor.
On February 2, 2021 the unsecured
promissory note with Satco International, Ltd. (see Note 5) was amended to extend the due date from January 6, 2022 to April 6, 2022,
or at the immediate time when alternative financing or other proceeds are received. This extension has no bearing on the warrants that
were issued in conjunction with the original promissory note.

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 nine months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. 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, 2021.
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
Our
historical business model has focused on 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.”
We
currently do not 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 represented 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.
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.
During
the latter part of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021, we began developing an additional business offering, providing professional
services to specialty structured finance groups, bond issuers and life settlement aggregators. We have assembled an experienced team
from the life settlement marketplace, as well as from other areas such as financial services and public financial markets. As a professional
services provider, we apply industry best practices to advise on the selection of specific portfolios of life insurance policies that
are tailored to meet the needs of its clients. Our clients may include bond issuers, bond investors, or other structured finance product
issuers. We develop strategies and methodologies which include the acquisition of life insurance portfolios, then use common structured
finance techniques and proprietary analytics to structure bonds for issuances, including principal protected bonds. Our goal is to deliver
long-term value and profitability to shareholders by growing our professional services business and asset base, resulting in the ability
to pay dividends to its shareholders.
Most
recently we began working closely with bond placement agents and aggregators to establish various aspects of a proprietary, investment
grade bond offering. In this arrangement, we participate as the sole originator in the role of structuring and advising on the structure
of the proprietary bond instrument. Included in the role of structuring financial assets, we use proprietary analytics to establish the
makeup of the rated instrument, including but not limited to, life settlement assets (life insurance policies) and managed cash, and
implements a process of selective assembly of the underlying assets and cash management that will meet the policy requirements and analytics.
We provide current and ongoing resources for all analytics, as well as advisement support for the investment and non-investment grade
ratings for the managed asset pool and the managed cash accounts. In our advisory role, we are reimbursed for all expenses associated
with the structuring and preparation of any bond offering, will receive an advisory payment upon the closing of any bond offering, and
then will hold residual rights on the balance of assets once the bond is retired.
During
the quarter ended June 30, 2021, we and US Capital Global Securities LLC, an affiliate of US Capital Global, entered into an arrangement
wherein we are the lead advisor and lead originator of tailored life insurance portfolios to be used in a life insurance-linked bond
offering (“bond offering”) of between $250 million to $500 million. US Capital Global Securities LLC is the lead placement
agent and is marketing the bond offering on behalf of the issuer on a best-efforts basis to qualified investors. We have worked with
Egan Jones rating agency to obtain a minimum of BBB plus to an A minus rating on the bond offering. This initial rating is based upon
a sample portfolio of life settlement assets similar to those expected to be utilized in the bond offering. Once a percentage of the
bond offering is in escrow, then the actual life settlement portfolios will be purchased and held until the bond offering closes. Once
the final group of assets are assembled, then a final rating will be obtained. We have engaged a licensed asset manager, whose projected
returns will be approved by the rating agency. Important for the success of the bond is the treatment of the various cash accounts that
will support the bond. The two primary accounts will be the Investment account and the Cash Reserve account. These accounts will represent
approximately 40% of the total cash raised from the bond offering. The Investment and Cash Reserve accounts are projected to produce
sufficient annual returns to support the cost associated to maintain the bonds. A nationally recognized trust manager has been engaged
to insure all the workings of the bond are handled properly and timely. An actuarial company has also been engaged to provide the modeling
needed for the rating agency, asset manager and bond issuer. For services provided, we will receive a fee upon the closing on the bond
offering and will also hold a residual monetary right to cash flows from the life settlement assets once the bond is retired.
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. The 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 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.
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.

$285,230, respectively.
During
the nine months ended December 31, 2021, and 2020, interest expense accrued in the amount of $204,982 and $166,910, respectively. The

the nine months ended December 31, 2021, the Company recorded a net loss before income taxes of $582,242 and had an income tax expense
of $4,149 due to minimum income and franchise taxes across various state jurisdictions with all other deferred income tax expense or
benefit being offset as a result of a full valuation allowance on the net deferred tax asset.
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 and unrelated parties and the issuance of convertible debentures. As of December 31, 2021, we had $53,393 of cash,
compared to $21,179 as of March 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had access to draw an additional $4,704,192 on the notes
payable, related party and $3,000,000 on the Convertible Debenture Agreement. Our monthly expenses are anticipated to be approximately
$50,000, which includes salaries of our employees, policy servicing expenses, consulting agreements and contract labor, general and administrative
expenses, and estimated legal and accounting expenses. Outstanding Accounts Payable as of December 31, 2021 totaled $557,522, short term
notes payable totaled $300,000, short term notes payable to related parties totaled $876,000, and other accrued liabilities totaled $936,468.
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 will be sufficient to fund our operating working capital requirements
for at least the next 12 months, or through February 2023.
Debt
At
December 31, 2021, we owed $4,044,681, including accrued interest, for debt obligations. We owed $3,201,808 in principal pursuant to
notes payable and lines-of-credits from related parties, $300,000 in other notes payable, and had fully paid off the principal owing
on the 8% Convertible Debenture. As of December 31, 2021, one note payable and line-of-credit had a principal balance of $959,508 and
is due on November 30, 2023, 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 a principal balance of $1,066,300, and the line of credit is currently extended
through November 30, 2023. At December 31, 2021, unsecured promissory notes with related parties had principal balances totaling $876,000,
with $50,000 due November 30, 2022 and the remaining $826,000 due July 1, 2022. The convertible debenture agreement, which has
no principal balance as of December 31, 2021 is open through October 31, 2022. As of February 14, 2021, there was $4,704,192
available under the lines-of-credit we currently have with related parties and $3,000,000 available under the 8% convertible debenture
agreement.
