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, 2022, which was filed with the SEC on
June 29, 2022. The results from operations for the three-month period ended June 30, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present
fairly the financial position, results of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows at June 30, 2022 and for all periods presented
herein have been made.
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.
During
the latter part of the year ended March 31, 2021, 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.

On
January 1, 2022, we entered into a marketing and consulting agreement with Tradability, LLC (“Consultant”) that requires
us 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 us successfully reaching certain milestones. Further,
the agreement requires us to issue between 1,000,000 and 10,000,000 stock options (which are exercisable into our common stock at prices
between $1.00 to $2.50 per share) contingent upon the Consultant and us 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 we will
be an advisor. As of June 29, 2022 none of the milestones related to the potential issuance of equity have been met.
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 months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, because to do so would be anti-dilutive.
Potentially dilutive securities outstanding as of June 30, 2022 and 2021 are comprised of warrants convertible into 7,250,241 and 4,488,754
shares of common stock, respectively.
New
Accounting Pronouncements
Adopted
During the Three Months Ended June 30, 2022
In
May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04 Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity Classified
Written Call Options. This ASU clarifies an issuer’s accounting for certain modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified
written call options (for example, warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. Specifically, it provides
a principles-based framework to determine whether an issuer should recognize the modification or exchange as an adjustment to equity
or an expense. The amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods therein. The Company
adopted the new guidance as of April 1, 2022, and used the framework to record modification to the exercise price of equity classified
warrants during the three months ended June 30, 2022.
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 June 30, 2022, the Company had $66,986 of cash
assets, compared to $267,966 as of March 31, 2022. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had access to draw an additional $4,604,192 on the
notes payable, related party (see Note 6) and $3,000,000 on the Convertible Debenture Agreement (See Note 7). For the three months ended
June 30, 2022, the Company’s average monthly operating expenses were approximately $71,000, 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 $13,500 and $77,561 were incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. As management continues to explore
additional financing alternatives, beginning July 1, 2022 the Company is expected to spend up to an additional $400,000 on these efforts.
Outstanding Accounts Payable as of June 30, 2022 totaled $584,960. 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 from the issuance of these financial statements, or through August 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
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 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 three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.
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
Effective
December 6, 2018, three existing stockholders have contributed to the Company a portion of their common shares held at a repurchase price
to the Company of $0.05 per share. The Company has cancelled the acquired shares, which decreased the outstanding common shares on the
books of the Company. The total number of common shares canceled/retired was 8,000,000. 6,000,000 of the 8,000,000 shares were owned
by a related party to the Company. The total liability related to the repurchase of these shares is $400,000 , with repayment
to the related party stockholders contingent on a major financing event. $300,000 of the $400,000 liability is to a related party.
Warrants
to Purchase Common Stock
The
Company’s related party lenders consist of: the Chairman of the Board of Directors and a stockholder, Radiant Life, LLC and Mr.
Dickman, a board member and stockholder. These holders of the related party unsecured promissory notes, hold agreements that 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 approximately equal to the fair value of the Company’s
common stock on the date of grant, and expire 5 years from the date of issuance.
On
June 20, 2022, the Company amended the agreements with the related party lenders to adjust the exercise price of the warrants issued
in conjunction with extensions of due dates and new monies lent on the outstanding notes payable, related parties from January
5, 2022 to February 5, 2022. The original agreements stated that the exercise price of the warrants issued was $0.05.
The amended agreements adjust the exercise price from $0.05
to $1.05,
which is the estimated fair market value of the common stock on the grant dates of the warrants. The original agreements
inadvertently stated an exercise price of $0.05,
when the Company had intended to grant warrants with an exercise price of $1.05. This modification was evaluated and it was determined that the increase in exercise price resulted in a decrease
in the fair value of the warrants issued from January 5, 2022 to February 5, 2022, and therefore no additional warrant expense was required.
