1.NATURE OF OPERATIONS
MaxLife Fund Corp, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated on 9 January 2006 under the laws of the State of Wyoming. The Company is engaged in financial services, where they seek, acquire, fund and manage the life insurance policies of individuals. The Company either holds these policies until maturity or markets the policies for sale at an earlier date.
2.BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and the SEC instructions to Form 10 Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three month period ended 31 May 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending 31 August 2009. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended 31 August 2008.
3.RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS 161”). SFAS No. 161 expands the disclosure requirements in SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities about an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities. Adopted on March 1, 2009, we currently have no derivatives and hedging activities and so the adoption of SFAS No. 161 had no impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
In April 2009, FASB issued FSP No. 107-1/APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments. Entities shall include disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments whenever it issues summarized financial information for interim reporting periods. Entities shall disclose in the body or in the accompanying notes of its summarized financial information the fair value of all financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value, whether recognized or not recognized in the statement of financial position, as required by Statement 107. Effective for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009, this FSP was adopted and had no impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
In April 2009, FASB issued FSP No. 115-2 and FAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments. This FSP amends the other-than-temporary impairment guidance in U.S. GAAP for debt securities to make the guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of the other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities in the financial statements. The FSP is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company is currently analyzing the impact this FSP will have on its financial statements.
In May 2009, the FASB issued Statement No. 165, Subsequent Events (“SFAS 165”). SFAS 165 requires entities to disclose the date through which they have evaluated subsequent events and whether the date corresponds with the release of their financial statements. Effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, SFAS 165 will become effective in the next reporting quarter. SFAS 165 should not have an impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“SFAS 168”). SFAS 168 will become the single source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), superseding existing FASB, American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”), Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”), and related accounting literature. SFAS 168 reorganizes the thousands of GAAP pronouncements into roughly 90 accounting topics and displays them using a consistent structure. Also included is relevant Securities and Exchange Commission guidance organized using the same topical structure in separate sections. SFAS 168 will be effective for financial statements issued for reporting periods that end after September 15, 2009. This will have an impact on the Company’s financial statements since all future references to authoritative accounting literature will be references in accordance with SFAS 168.

4.INVESTMENT IN INSURANCE POLICIES
As at 31 May 2009 the Company holds four life insurance policies with carrying amounts of $518,597 and face amounts totaling $2,650,000.
5.ADVANCES FROM STOCKHOLDER
The advances from the stockholder are non interest bearing, unsecured and have no specific terms of repayment. The carrying value of the advances approximates the market value due to the short term maturity of the financial instruments.
6.PREFERRED STOCK
On 18 March 2008, the Company filed articles of amendment to amend the par value of its preferred stock from $.001 to $25.00 per share. The preferred stock have the following rights attached to them: nonvoting, entitle the holders to receive a dividend equal to $0.625 per share to be paid on a quarterly basis; not convertible into shares of the Company's common stock; provided all dividends have been paid to the shareholders, the preferred stock is redeemable by the Company after two years; in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, holders of the preferred stock shall have the same liquidation rights as the holders of the Company's common stock, whereby there are no redemption provisions.
The preferred stock of the Company is currently offered in units (the "Unit"). Each Unit consists of 1,200 shares of preferred stock plus warrants to purchase 600 shares of common stock. The warrants may be exercised at any time beginning six months from the date of issuance and ending on the fifth anniversary of the final closing of the offering of the preferred stock. The warrants are exercisable, in whole or in part, at exercise prices equal to the following:
One third (1/3) or 200 warrants per Unit shall be exercisable into common stock at $25.00 per share;
One third (1/3) or 200 warrants per Unit shall be exercisable into common stock at $30.00 per share;
One third (1/3) or 200 warrants per Unit shall be exercisable into common stock at $35.00 per share.
The warrants were issued on various dated throughout the year and valued as follows:
(A) 4,400 shares at an exercise price of $25.00 per share $18.94, $18.19, $20.19, $20.16
(B) 4,400 shares at an exercise price of $30.00 per share $18.10,$17.39, $19.34, $19.32
(C) 4,400 shares at an exercise price of $35.00 per share $17.35, $16.68, $18.58, $18.57
The total value of the warrants amounted to $244,158 (31 August 2008 $244,158) and are included as an addition to additional paid in capital warrants.
The warrants were valued using the Black Scholes option pricing model with the following input variables and assumptions: exercise prices of $25, $30 and $35 per share as noted above, stock price on the date of issuances of $27.60, $26.30, $28.65, and $28.49 respectively; calculated volatility amounted to 84.56%; calculated average term of maturity of five years; an estimated risk free rate ranging from 2.95% to 3.68% based on the five year US treasury zero coupon yield curve.
-7-
7.STOCK OPTIONS
On 21 April 2008 the Company executed stock option agreements with four directors of the Company in consideration for their appointment to the Board of Directors. Under the terms of these agreements the Company granted to each director an option to purchase a total of 10,000 shares of the company's common stock ("Option Shares") in the following manner: (A) 2,500 shares at an exercise price of $20.00 per share, (B) 3,500 shares at an exercise price of $25.00 per share and (C) 4,000 shares at an exercise price of $35.00 per share. The grantee shall have the option to purchase all of the Option Shares after six months of the grant date 22 October 2008. The options expire in five years from the grant date, on 21 April 2008.
The stock options were valued using the Black Scholes option pricing model with the following input variables and assumptions: exercise prices of $20, $35 and $35 per share as noted above, stock price on the date of issuance of $18.48; calculated volatility amounted to 84.56%; calculated average term of maturity of five years; an estimated risk free rate ranging from 2.95% based on the five year US treasury zero coupon yield curve.
The stock options were valued as follows:
(A) 10,000 shares at an exercise price of $20.00 per share $12.33
(B) 14,000 shares at an exercise price of $25.00 per share $11.61
(C) 16,000 shares at an exercise price of $35.00 per share $10.48
The total stock compensation related to the Option Shares amounted to $453,580 and is amortized over the service period of six months from the grant date and have been included in stock based compensation in the consolidated statement of loss.
8.SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION
During the three months period ended 31 May 2009 and 31 May 2008 and for the period from inception (9 January 2006) to 31 May 2009, there were no interest or taxes paid by the Company.
On 21 April 2008 the Company executed stock option agreements with four directors of the Company in consideration for their appointment to the Board of Directors. The total stock compensation related to the stock options amounted to $453,580 and are amortized over the service period of six months from the grant date.
9.INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURE
During the quarter, MaxLife CGP Partners, LLC (the “Joint Venture”) executed a Limited Liability Company Certificate of Cancellation with the State of California Secretary of State and completed the dissolution of MaxLife CGP Partners, LLC. As result of dissolution, the Company has written down their investment in the Joint Venture during the quarter and reported a loss on investment in joint venture of $1,250 on the Statement of Operations.
10.FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying value of the Company's cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, management salary payable and advances from stockholder approximates fair value because of the short term maturity of these instruments.
11. COMMITMENT AND CONTINGENT LIABILITY
The Company is contingently liable for the payment of the premiums due on the insurance policies as described in Note 3. Although the individual beneficiary is responsible for these payments, if they are not paid when they fall due, the Company must pay these premiums on the insured's behalf within a 30 day grace period or the policy would lapse. As of 31 May 2009, the policies premiums were up to date and the policies were in good standing.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
Certain statements contained in this quarterly filing, including, without limitation, statements containing the words “believes”, “anticipates”, “expects” and words of similar import, constitute forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company, or industry results, to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
Such factors include, among others, the following: international, national and local general economic and market conditions: demographic changes; the ability of the Company to sustain, manage or forecast its growth; the ability of the Company to successfully make and integrate acquisitions; raw material costs and availability; new product development and introduction; existing government regulations and changes in, or the failure to comply with, government regulations; adverse publicity; competition; the loss of significant customers or suppliers; fluctuations and difficulty in forecasting operating results; changes in business strategy or development plans; business disruptions; the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; the ability to protect technology; and other factors referenced in this and previous filings. Given these uncertainties, readers of this prospectus and investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.
Plan of Operations
In May 2009, the Joint Venture relationship with Capital Growth Partners was cancelled. This was a mutually agreed upon decision, to enable both companies to pursue further opportunities independently. Since its inception Maxlife has successfully sourced, purchased, sold and managed life settlement policies and will continue to do so, using its internal management resources and industry contacts.
Subsequent to May 31, 2009 the Company has entered into discussions with an investor and received a term sheet to provide financing arrangements. The Company is currently reviewing this term sheet financing. The Company wishes to raise financing that is most beneficial to shareholders, which is expected in the next quarter or two.
Additional financing is available to the Company through the private placement of preferred share issuances to new and existing investors and shareholders. The Company has developed a financial product, MX-Series and strongly believes revenues will be generated in the next quarter which will be utilized to support its plan of operations and future growth plans.
The Company is committed to enter into financing arrangements that are both beneficial to shareholders and which will strengthen the Company's business operations and opportunity to expand its business.
During the last quarter MaxLife has made a concentrated effort to bring to market a financial product that is based on Life Settlement Policies with maximum five year life expectancies. Investors open a Trust that is administered with the assistance of MaxLife. The investor can earn good returns on their Trust that own the Life Settlement Policies over the five year period program. There is available downside protection through a commitment from MaxLife and/or from outside companies. The product description and information is available on the website (www.themxway.com) and by contacting the company.
MaxLife has travelled to countries and met with Pension Funds, Hedge Funds, Insurance Companies and Accredited Investor groups that have been apprised of the life settlement industry and the MX-Series product has been made available to them as a turnkey investment opportunity.
We will continue to focus on these groups that we met during the past quarter and will pursue new opportunities by making inroads with wealth management groups in additional countries as well.
During the next twelve months, we expect to take the following steps in connection with the further development of our business and the implementation of our plan of operations:
We will continue to make relationships with insurance brokers and their clients to seek out opportunistic policies and life settlements situations available. We will attempt to raise additional financing for working capital and to marketing efforts. We will also seek investment partners in order to raise the necessary funds to acquire existing policies. Such partners include banks, hedge funds, investment funds and sophisticated investors. We will be sourcing new relationships with companies in the sector with the objective of purchasing an ownership in their businesses. Many opportunities are arising as the market place is seeing distress situations of Hedge Funds that need to liquidate life settlement policies and portfolios due to the ongoing financial crisis. MaxLife will review such situations and is open to discussions to determine the opportunities that can be cultivated accordingly.
We will prepare advertisements and information material to disseminate to our network of brokers with the intention of ramping up purchases of policies. With funds obtained from banks and investment funds we will be in a position to purchase and administer policies and portfolios. We will also look to offer a product which gives investors the security they require and we will charge for our expertise and services of sourcing, buying and monitoring their investments.
-9-
The addition of a stronger infrastructure will be required and we intend to hire management personnel and support staff. This will enable us to segregate work responsibilities and meet the ongoing growth of the business. We will be in a position to handle different territories both in Canada and the United States.
Additional financings will be available to us through our relationships and performance. This will enable us to continue with our growth plans. The internal organization will be reviewed to see that it can handle the influx of new business. The administration of the policies will be pertinent and we will have to determine if we have sufficient staff to handle this responsibility. We will review in depth the success of purchasing of policies and initiating new policies. Upon review it will be determined if dividends can be paid to shareholders or if funds should be used to further purchase policies.
The management team will be strengthened, if need be, to ensure that shareholder value is maximized and the business plan is being implemented properly.
Results of Operations
Comparative Analysis for the Nine months ended May 31, 2009 and May 31, 2008:
Revenue for the nine months ended May 31, 2009 was $Nil as compared to $330,000 for the nine-months period ended May 31, 2008. Cost of policy sold for the nine months ended May 31, 2009 was $Nil and $303,250 for the nine months period ended May 31, 2008. Gross Profit for the nine months ended May 31, 2009 was $Nil and $26,750 for the nine months period ended May 31, 2008.
Professional fees for the nine months ended May 31, 2009 were $161,103 and $69,536for the nine months ended May 31, 2008. These fees are attributable to legal, accounting, tax, consulting (including IT services for contacts) and auditing services. The increase in professional fees were attributable to the increase in accounting, tax, valuation and disclosure requirements of equity instruments including stock options, stock warrants, a preferred stock issuances, tax advisory, and IT consulting services during the nine months ended May 31, 2009.
Capital Resources and Liquidity
At May 31, 2009, we had a working capital deficiency of $33,607. It is the intent of management and significant stockholders, if necessary, to provide sufficient working capital necessary to support and preserve the integrity of the corporate entity. However, there is no legal obligation for either management or significant stockholders to provide additional future funding. Subsequent to May 31, 2009 the Company has entered into discussions with an investor and received a term sheet to provide financing arrangements. The Company is currently reviewing this term sheet financing. The Company wishes to raise financing that is most beneficial to shareholders, which is expected in the next quarter or two.
Additional financing is available to the Company through the private placement of preferred share issuances to new and existing investors and shareholders. The Company has developed a financial product, MX-Series and strongly believes revenues will be generated in the next quarter which will be utilized to support its plan of operations and future growth plans.
On May 31, 2009, the Company paid dividends of $0.625 per share on its 26,400 issued and outstanding preferred stock totaling $16,500. The preferred stock entitles the holders to receive a dividend equal to $0.625 per share to be paid on a quarterly basis. Payment of dividends on common shares in the future will depend upon our earnings, capital requirements, and other factors, which our Board of Directors may deem relevant.
Cash flows from operating activities
Cash flows used in operating activities for the nine months ended May 31, 2009 were $325,741 as compared to $459,066 for the Nine months ended May 31, 2008. The decrease in cash flows used in operating activities was due to reductions in the payment of investment in life insurance policies purchased and accounts payable and accrued liabilities during the nine months ended May 31, 2009 as compared to the nine months ended May 31, 2008.
Critical Accounting Policies
MaxLife’s financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). GAAP requires the use of estimates, assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenue and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements.

Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 3 of our financial statements filed with our August 31, 2008 10K filed with the SEC on December 15, 2008. While all these significant accounting policies impact its financial condition and results of operations, MaxLife views certain of these policies as critical. Policies determined to be critical are those policies that have the most significant impact on MaxLife’s consolidated financial statements and require management to use a greater degree of judgment and estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Our management believes that given current facts and circumstances, it is unlikely that applying any other reasonable judgments or estimate methodologies would cause effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity for the periods presented in this report.
The Company believes that the following discussion addresses the Company’s most critical accounting policies, which are those that are most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations and require management’s most difficult, subjective and complex judgments.
Investment in Life Insurance Policies
Investment in life insurance policies are recorded in accordance the Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position No. FTB 85-4-1 Accounting for Life Settlement Contracts by Third-Party Investors (FSP FTB 85-4-1). FSP FTB 85-4-1 states that an investor may elect to account for its investments in life settlement contracts using either the investment method or the fair value method. The election shall be made on an instrument-by instrument basis and is irrevocable. Under the investment method, an investor shall recognize the initial investment at the purchase price plus all initial direct costs. Continuing costs (policy premiums and direct external costs, if any) to keep the policy in force shall be capitalized. Under the fair value method, an investor shall recognize the initial investment at the purchase price. In subsequent periods, the investor shall remeasure the investment at fair value in its entirety at each reporting period and shall recognize change in fair value earnings (or other performance indicators for entities that do not report earnings) in the period in which the changes occur. The Company has elected to value its investments in life settlement contracts using the investment method.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill is the residual amount that results when the purchase price of an acquired business exceeds the sum of the amounts allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired, less liabilities assumed, based on fair values.
The Company accounts for purchased goodwill and other intangible assets in accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill and any other intangibles deemed to have indefinite lives are not subject to amortization; however, goodwill is subject to an assessment for impairment, which must be performed at least annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that goodwill or other indefinite lived intangibles might be impaired.
The Company tested goodwill of its operating unit, 1254450, for impairment at 31 August 2008 and 2007.
In order to determine if write down of goodwill was necessary, management utilized a two step process: (i) they compared the implied fair value of the reporting unit, 1254450, with its carrying amount of $35,269 and (ii) the estimated fair value of the reporting unit was performed using a valuation technique based on multiples of earnings.
The implied fair value of the reporting unit was compared with its carrying amount; and management has determined that the implied fair value of goodwill is $0 as at 31 August 2008 and as a result an impairment loss of $35,269 has been recognized in the statement of loss and comprehensive loss for the year ended 31 August 2008.
The Company cannot predict the occurrence of certain future events that might adversely affect the reported value of goodwill that totaled $0 at August 31, 2008. Such events include, but are not limited to, strategic decisions made in response to economic and competitive conditions, the impact of the economic environment on the Company’s customer base, or a material negative change in its relationships with significant customers.
Stock Based Compensation
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standard Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment ("SFAS No. 123R). SFAS No. 123R establishes standards for the accounting for transaction in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods for services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity's equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. SFAS No. 123R focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in shared-based payment transactions. SFAS No. 123R requires that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in the consolidated financial statements. That cost will be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued.

The warrants and stock options are valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following input variables and assumptions: exercise prices per share as noted above, stock price on the date of issuances; calculated volatility; calculated average term of maturity of five years; an estimated risk free rate based on the US treasury zero-coupon yield curve. The assumptions used by the Company in determining its stock based compensation may differ materially from actual results due to changing market and economic conditions, higher or lower calculated volatility rates or risk free rate of return. While the Company believes that the assumptions used are appropriate, differences in actual experience or changes in assumptions may materially affect the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
We cannot predict what future laws and regulations might be passed that could have a material effect on our results of operations. We assess the impact of significant changes in laws and regulations on a regular basis and update the assumptions and estimates used to prepare our financial statements when we deem it necessary.
We have not made any material changes to our critical accounting estimates or assumptions or the judgments affecting the application of those estimates or assumptions. We discuss our significant accounting policies, including those policies that are not critical, in Note 3 of our 10K Consolidated Financial Statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any outstanding derivative financial instruments, off-balance sheet guarantees, interest rate swap transactions or foreign currency contracts. We do not engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company is subject to certain market risks, including changes in interest rates and currency exchange rates. The Company does not undertake any specific actions to limit those exposures.
Item 4T. Controls and Procedures
a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report were effective such 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 Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer, 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.
Our Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Furthermore, smaller reporting companies face additional limitations. Smaller reporting companies employ fewer individuals and find it difficult to properly segregate duties. Often, one or two individuals control every aspect of the Company's operation and are in a position to override any system of internal control. Additionally, smaller reporting companies tend to utilize general accounting software packages that lack a rigorous set of software controls.
Our Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of May 31, 2009. In making this assessment, our Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control - Integrated Framework. Based on this evaluation, Our Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of May 31, 2009, our internal control over financial reporting was effective.
(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
