BASIS OF PRESENTATION, ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | (1) 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 and six-month periods ended September 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. SUNDANCE STRATEGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) September 30, 2022 On January 1, 2022, we entered into a marketing and consulting agreement with Tradability, LLC (“Consultant”) that requires us to make an initial $ 100,000 400,000 400,000 1,000,000 10,000,000 1.00 2.50 500 100 500 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 six months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, because to do so would be anti-dilutive. Potentially dilutive securities outstanding as of September 30, 2022 and 2021 are comprised of warrants convertible into 7,250,241 4,758,754 New Accounting Pronouncements Adopted During the Six Months Ended September 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 six months ended September 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. SUNDANCE STRATEGIES, INC.
