Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
BASIS OF PRESENTATION | BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying consolidated financial statements (“Interim Financial Statements”) are presented in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States ("U.S.") Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and do not include all of the disclosures normally required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP” or “GAAP”) as contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. We have condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC on March 21, 2024, as amended by Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A, filed with the SEC on May 30, 2024, and as amended by Amendment No. 2 on Form 10-K/A, filed with the SEC on June 12, 2024 (“2023 Annual Report”). Refer to Note 2 in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report for the full list of the Company’s significant accounting policies. The details in those notes have not changed, except as discussed in Note 2 to the Interim Financial Statements and as a result of normal adjustments in the interim periods. Capitalized terms used and not specifically defined herein have the same meanings given those terms in our 2023 Annual Report. We also may use certain other terms that are defined within these Interim Financial Statements. The Interim Financial Statements presented herein and discussed below include 100% of the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and cash flows of Abacus Life, Inc., (the “Company”) all entities in which the Company has a controlling voting interest (“subsidiaries”), and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) for which the Company is the primary beneficiary, as determined in accordance with consolidation accounting guidance. References in these Interim Financial Statements to net income or loss attributable to common stockholders and stockholders’ equity do not include noncontrolling interests, which represent the outside ownership of our consolidated non-wholly owned entity and are reported separately. Intercompany accounts and transactions between consolidated entities have been eliminated in consolidation. The Interim Financial Statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the audited annual financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2024, and the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Interim Financial Statements are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year, or any other period. All references to financial information in the Interim Financial Statements in the condensed notes to Interim Financial Statements are unaudited. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, cost of revenue, life settlement policy valuation, goodwill and intangibles valuation, market-indexed note valuation, and income taxes. The uncertainties in the broader macroeconomic environment have made it more challenging to make these estimates. Actual results could differ from our estimates, and such differences may be material. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS New Accounting Standards —The Company’s management reviews recent accounting standards to determine the impact to the Company’s financial statements. Below we discuss the impact of new accounting standard updates (“ASU”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) to the Interim Financial Statements. ASU 2023-07—“Segment Reporting (ASC 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures”, was intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. We early adopted ASU 2023-07 in the first quarter of 2024, by including significant segment expenses reviewed by the Company’s CODM. Refer to Note 11, Segment Reporting, for our updated presentation. ASU 2024-01—”Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope Application of Profits Interest and Similar Awards”. In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-01 to add an illustrative example to demonstrate how an entity should apply the scope guidance in paragraph 718-10-15-3 to determine whether profits interest and similar awards (“profits interest awards”) should be accounted for in accordance with Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation . The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and interim periods within those annual periods. Although early adoption of this ASU is permitted, the Company’s management chose to not early adopt this ASU. The amendments in this ASU should be applied either (1) retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements or (2) prospectively to profits interest and similar awards granted or modified on or after the date at which the entity first applies the amendments. If the amendments are applied retrospectively, an entity is required to provide the disclosures in paragraphs 250-10-50-1 through 50-3 in the period of adoption. If the amendments are applied prospectively, an entity is required to disclose the nature of and reason for the change in accounting principle. This ASU is not expected to have a significant impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements when adopted. ASU 2024-02—”Codification Improvements—Amendments to Remove References to the Concepts Statements”. In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-02 to remove references to various FASB Concepts Statements. The Board has a standing project on its agenda to address suggestions received from stakeholders on the Accounting Standards Codification and other incremental improvements to GAAP. This effort facilitates Codification updates for technical corrections such as conforming amendments, clarifications to guidance, simplifications to wording or the structure of guidance, and other minor improvements. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Although early adoption of this ASU is permitted for any fiscal year or interim period for which financial statements have not yet been issued (or made available for issuance), the Company’s management chose to not early adopt this ASU. The amendments in this ASU should be applied either (1) retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements or (2) prospectively to all new transactions recognized on or after the date that the entity first applies the amendments. This ASU is not expected to have a significant impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements when adopted. Stock Options —The Company awards stock options (“options”) to purchase the Company’s common stock at the market price of the stock on the grant date. Options generally vest over a period of three years and expire no later than 10 years from the grant date. Fair value is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model by applying certain assumptions. That fair value is reduced when options are forfeited. The fair value of options, net of forfeitures, is recognized in general and administrative expenses on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Concentrations —Two customers accounted for 13% and 10% of total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. Two customers accounted for 26% and 13% of total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Two customers accounted for 20% and 16% of total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. Two customers accounted for 11% and 10% of total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Business Combination, Asset Acquisition, and Joint Venture Formation [Abstract] | |
BUSINESS COMBINATION | BUSINESS COMBINATION On June 30, 2023, LMA acquired Abacus through the Abacus Merger, which was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting based on a business enterprise value of $165,361,332. The preliminary purchase price was allocated among the identified net assets to be acquired. On June 30, 2023, the primary area of the acquisition accounting that was not yet finalized was our estimate of the impact of acquisition accounting on deferred income taxes. On June 30, 2024, we finalized our acquisition accounting related to deferred income taxes. All valuation procedures were related to existing assets at the time of the acquisition as no new assets were identified as a result of procedures performed. Goodwill was recognized as a result of the acquisition, which represents the excess fair value of consideration over the fair value of the underlying net assets, largely arising from the extensive industry expertise that has been established by Abacus. This was considered appropriate based on the determination that the Abacus Merger would be accounted for as a business acquisition under ASC 805. The allocation of the purchase price for Abacus Merger was as follows as finalized on June 30, 2024: Net Assets Identified Fair Value Adjustments June 30, 2023 (as finalized on June 30, 2024) Intangibles $ 32,900,000 $ — $ 32,900,000 Current Assets 1,280,100 — 1,280,100 Non-Current Assets 901,337 — 901,337 Deferred Tax Liabilities (8,310,966) 356,810 (7,954,156) Accrued Expenses (524,400) — (524,400) Other Liabilities (1,171,739) — (1,171,739) Net assets acquired $ 25,074,332 $ 356,810 $ 25,431,142 Net Assets Identified Fair Value Adjustments June 30, 2023 (as finalized on June 30, 2024) Goodwill 140,287,000 (356,810) 139,930,190 Total purchase price $ 165,361,332 $ — $ 165,361,332 Intangible assets were comprised of the following: Asset Type Fair Value Useful Life Valuation Methodology Customer Relationships-Agents $ 12,600,000 5 years Multi-period excess earnings method Customer Relationships-Financing Entities 11,000,000 8 years Multi-period excess earnings method Internally Developed and Used Technology-APA 1,600,000 2 years Relief from royalty method Internally Developed and Used Technology-Marketplace 100,000 3 years Replacement cost method Trade Name 900,000 Indefinite Relief from royalty method Non-Compete Agreements 4,000,000 2 years With and without method State Insurance Licenses 2,700,000 Indefinite Replacement cost method Total Fair Value $ 32,900,000 Useful lives for customer relationships were developed using attrition data for agents and financing entities which resulted in a useful life of 5 years and 8 years, respectively.

AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE SECURITIES, AT FAIR VALUE | AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE SECURITIES, AT FAIR VALUE Convertible Promissory Note —The Company holds an investment in a convertible promissory note in a separate unrelated insurance technology company. This unrelated insurance technology company is a producer of life expectancy reports. The Company purchases life expectancy reports and uses them as an input into the valuation methodology for policies held at fair value. We evaluated our relationship with the unrelated insurance technology company and determined that the Company does not have control or influence over the unrelated insurance technology company’s decision-making process. The $1,000,000 Convertible Promissory Note principal bears an 8% interest rate and matures on September 30, 2025. The Company applies the available-for-sale method of accounting for its investment in the Convertible Promissory Note, which is a debt investment. The Convertible Promissory Note does not qualify for either the held-to-maturity method due to the Convertible Promissory Note’s conversion rights or the trading securities method because the Company holds the Convertible Promissory Note as a long-term investment. The Convertible Promissory Notes are measured at fair value at each reporting period-end. Unrealized gains and losses are reported in other comprehensive income until realized. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company evaluated the fair value of its investment and determined that the fair value approximates the carrying value of $1,165,575 and $1,105,935, which includes accrued accumulated interest income of $165,575 and $105,935, respectively. There was no unrealized gain or loss or credit losses recorded since inception. Interest income recognized for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was $19,945 and $—, respectively. Interest income recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was $59,640 and $—, respectively. |

The value of the combined investment in these two entities was $1,750,000 and 1,650,000 as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The Company applies the measurement alternative for its investments in the Preferred Stock because these investments are of an equity nature, and the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies of entities even in the event of conversion of the Seed Units or Preferred Stock. Under the measurement alternative, the Company records the investment based on original cost, less impairments, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the investee. The Company’s share of income or loss of such companies is not included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income. The Company tests its investments for impairment whenever circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the investment may not be recoverable. No im pairment of investments occurred for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
SEGMENT REPORTING | SEGMENT REPORTING Segment Information —The Business Combination that took place on June 30, 2023, where ERES, LMA and Abacus Settlements consummated the combining of the Companies, triggered a re-organization of Abacus Life Inc., where the legacy Abacus Settlements business and legacy LMA business would both operate under Abacus Life, Inc. subsequent to the Business Combination date. Abacus Settlements historically had one operating and reportable segment, Originations. LMA historically had two operating and reportable segments, (1) Portfolio Servicing and (2) Active Management. As the Business Combination did not occur until the last day of the second quarter of 2023, income activity related to Abacus Settlements had not yet been reported by Abacus Life, Inc. as the businesses did not begin operating as a combined Company until July 1, 2023. As such, beginning in the third quarter of 2023, the Company organizes its business into three reportable segments (1) Portfolio Servicing, (2) Active Management, and (3) Originations, which all generate revenue and incur expenses in different manners. This segment structure reflects the financial information and reports used by the Company’s management, specifically its chief operating decision maker (CODM), to make decisions regarding the Company’s business, including resource allocations and performance assessments, as well as the current operating focus in compliance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting . The Company’s CODM is the President and Chief Executive Officer. The Company’s reportable segments are not aggregated. The Portfolio Servicing segment generates revenues by providing policy services to customers on a contract basis. The Active Management segment generates revenues by buying, selling, and trading policies and maintaining policies until receipt of death benefits. The Originations segment generates revenue by originating life insurance policy settlements between investors or buyers, and the sellers, who are often the original policy owner. The policies are purchased from owners or other providers through advisors, brokers or directly through the owner. The Company’s method for measuring profitability on a reportable segment basis is gross profit. The CODM does not review disaggregated assets by segment. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 in March 2024. The most significant provision was for the Company to disclose significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the CODM. The Company’s CODM periodically reviews cost of revenues by segment and treats it as a significant segment expense.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Legal Proceedings —Occasionally, the Company may be subject to various proceedings such as lawsuits, disputes, or claims. The Company assesses these proceedings as they arise and accrues a liability when losses are probable and reasonably estimable. Although legal proceedings are inherently unpredictable, the Company is currently not aware of any matters that, if determined adversely to the Company, would individually, or taken together, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Commitment —The Company has entered into a Strategic Services and Expenses Support Agreement (“SSES” or “Expense Support Agreement”) with the Providers in exchange for an option to purchase the outstanding equity ownership of the Providers. Pursuant to the Expense Support Agreement, the Company provides financial support and advice for the expenses of the Providers incurred in connection with their life settlement transactions businesses and the Providers are required to hire a life settlement transactions operations employee of an affiliate of the Company. No later than December 1 of each calendar year, the Company provides a budget for the Providers, in which the Company commits to extend financial support for all operating expenses up to the budgeted amount. “Operating Expenses” for purposes of the Expense Support Agreement means all annual operating expenses of the Providers incurred in the ordinary course of business, excluding the premiums paid for the Providers insurance coverages that are allocable to the insurance coverage provided to the Providers, which owns all the outstanding membership interests of the Providers if unrelated to the Providers settlement business. For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company incurred $— and $— of expenses related to the Expense Support Agreement. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company incurred $— and $29,721 of expenses related to the Expense Support Agreement. This expense is included in the other income (expense) line of the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income and have not been reimbursed by the Providers. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS The Company determines fair value based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability in the principal or most advantageous market. When considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the following fair value hierarchy distinguishes between observable and unobservable inputs, which are categorized in one of the following levels: • Level 1 inputs: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the reporting entity at the measurement date. • Level 2 inputs: Other than quoted prices in Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. • Level 3 inputs: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date. Recurring Fair Value Measurements —The assets and liabilities measured at estimated fair value on a recurring basis and their corresponding placement in the fair value hierarchy are presented in the tables below. Fair Value Hierarchy As of June 30, 2024 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Life settlement policies, at fair value $ — $ — $ 207,571,413 $ 207,571,413 Available-for-sale securities, at fair value — — 1,165,575 1,165,575 Equity securities, at fair value 4,008,225 — — 4,008,225 Total assets held at fair value $ 4,008,225 $ — $ 208,736,988 $ 212,745,213 Liabilities: Current portion of long-term debt, at fair value $ — $ — $ 17,589,514 $ 17,589,514 Long-term debt, at fair value — — 81,640,478 81,640,478 Private placement warrants — — 6,363,500 6,363,500 Total liabilities held at fair value: $ — $ — $ 105,593,492 $ 105,593,492 Fair Value Hierarchy As of December 31, 2023 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Life settlement policies, at fair value $ — $ — $ 122,296,559 $ 122,296,559 Available-for-sale securities, at fair value — — 1,105,935 1,105,935 Equity securities, at fair value 2,348,998 — — 2,348,998 Total assets held at fair value $ 2,348,998 $ — $ 123,402,494 $ 125,751,492 Liabilities: Current portion of long-term debt, at fair value $ — $ — $ 13,029,632 $ 13,029,632 Long-term debt, at fair value — — 55,318,923 55,318,923 Private placement warrants — — 6,642,960 6,642,960 Total liabilities held at fair value: $ — $ — $ 74,991,515 $ 74,991,515 Life Settlement Policies — For all policies purchased after June 30, 2023, the Company accounts for owned life settlement policies using the fair value method. Prior to June 30, 2023, the Company elected to use either the fair value method or the investment method (cost, plus premiums paid). The valuation method is chosen upon contract acquisition and is irrevocable. For policies carried at fair value, the valuation is based on Level 3 inputs that reflect our assumptions about what factors market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as life expectancies and cash flow discount rates. The inputs are developed based on the best available information, including our own data. The valuation model is based on a discounted cash flow analysis and is sensitive to changes in the discount rate used. The Company utilized a blended average discount rate of 21% and 21% for policy valuations at June 30, 2024 and at December 31, 2023, respectively, which is based on economic and company-specific factors. The Company re-evaluates its discount rates at the end of every reporting period in order to reflect the estimated discount rates that could reasonably be used in a market transaction involving the Company’s portfolio of life settlements. For life settlement policies carried using the investment method, the Company measures these at the cost of the policy plus premiums paid. The policies accounted for using the investment method totaled $1,140,497 and $1,697,178 at June 30, 2024 and at December 31, 2023, respectively. Discount Rate Sensitivity —21% was determined to be the weighted average discount rate used to estimate the fair value of policies held by LMA and its investment funds. If the discount rate increased or decreased by two percentage points and the other assumptions used to estimate fair value remained the same, the change in estimated fair value as of June 30, 2024, would be as follows: As of June 30, 2024 Fair Value Change in Rate Adjustment +2% $ 194,281,144 $ (13,290,269) No change 207,571,413 -2% 224,830,721 17,259,308 Credit Exposure to Insurance Companies —The following table provides information about the life insurance issuer concentrations that exceed 10% of total face value or 10% of total fair value of the Company’s life insurance policies as of June 30, 2024: Carrier Percentage of Percentage of Carrier John Hancock Life Insurance Company (U.S.A.) 20.0 % 13.0 % A+ The following table provides a roll forward of the fair value of life insurance policies for the six months ended June 30, 2024: Fair value at December 31, 2023 $ 122,296,559 Policies purchased 135,265,141 Matured/sold policies (71,331,990) Realized gain on matured/sold policies 23,549,473 Premiums paid (5,547,086) Unrealized gain on held policies 21,341,703 Change in estimated fair value 39,344,090 Realized gain on matured/sold policies (23,549,473) Premiums paid 5,547,086 Fair value at June 30, 2024 $ 207,571,413 Long-Term Debt —See Note 14, Long-Term Debt, for background information on the market-indexed debt. The Company has elected the fair value option in accounting for the instruments. Fair value is determined using Level 3 inputs. The valuation methodology is based on the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing formula and a discounted cash flow analysis. Inputs to the Black-Scholes-Merton model include (i) the S&P 500 Index price, (ii) S&P 500 Index volatility, (iii) a risk-free rate based on data published by the US Treasury, and (iv) a term assumption based on the contractual term of the LMATT Series 2024, Inc., LMATTS Growth Series 2.2024, Inc., and LMATTS Growth and Income Series 1.2026, Inc. notes. The discounted cash flow analysis includes a discount rate that is based on the implied discount rate developed by calibrating a valuation model to the purchase price on the initial investment date. The implied discount rate is evaluated for reasonableness by benchmarking it to yields on actively traded comparable securities. The total change in fair value of the debt resulted in a loss of $1,287,354 and $3,990,020 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. This loss was comprised of $55,999 and $44,049, net of tax, which is included within accumulated other comprehensive income, as well as $9,616 and $14,130 net of tax, which is included in equity of noncontrolling interests resulting from risk-adjusted valuation scenarios for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. The Company recognized a loss of $1,199,463 and $3,912,090 on the change in fair value of the debt resulting from risk-free valuation scenarios, which is included within loss on change in fair value of debt within the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive (loss) income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. The following table provides a roll forward of the fair value of the outstanding debt for the six months ended June 30, 2024: Fair value at December 31, 2023 $ 68,348,556 Debt issued to third parties 26,946,891 LMA Income Series, LP excess return accrual 235,231 Unrealized loss on change in fair value (risk-free) 3,912,090 Unrealized loss on change in fair value (credit-adjusted) included in OCI 59,003 Unrealized gain on change in fair value (credit-adjusted) included in equity of NCI 18,927 Change in estimated fair value of debt 3,990,020 Deferred issuance costs (290,706) Fair value at June 30, 2024 $ 99,229,992 Private Placement Warrants —The Company had 8,900,000 Private Placement Warrants outstanding as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable for one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that (x) the Private Placement Warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis and be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees and (z) the Private Placement Warrants and the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will be entitled to registration rights. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants. Private Placement Warrants were accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40. The warrant liabilities are measured at fair value at inception and on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value presented separately in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income. The Private Placement Warrants were considered a Level 3 fair value measurement using a binomial lattice model in a risk-neutral framework. The binomial lattice model’s primary unobservable input utilized in determining the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants is the expected volatility of the common stock. The implied volatility as of the Business Combination date was derived from observable public warrant traded price provided by Bloomberg LP. The following table presents the key assumptions in the analysis: Private Placement Warrants Expected implied volatility de minimis Risk-free interest rate 4.09% Term to expiration 5.0 years Exercise price $11.50 Common Stock Price $10.03 Dividend Yield —% The subsequent changes in the value of the private warrants is based on the changes in the value of the public warrants as of the relevant reporting date due to mostly identical terms between the Private Placement Warrants and the Public warrants, except as noted above. The noted exceptions were determined not to have a significant impact on the valuation of the Private Placement Warrants when using the change in the value of the Public Warrants. Equity Securities, at Fair Value: S&P 500 Options —In February 2022, LMATT Series 2024, Inc., which the Company consolidates for financial reporting, purchased and sold S&P 500 call and put options through a broker. The Company purchased and sold additional S&P 500 call options through a broker in September 2022 through their 100% owned and fully consolidated subsidiaries LMATT Growth Series 2.2024, Inc. and LMATT Growth and Income Series 1.2026, Inc. The options are exchange traded, and fair value is determined using Level 1 inputs of quoted market prices as of the consolidated balance sheets dates. Changes in fair value are classified as unrealized (gain)/loss on investments within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income. Refer to Note 22, Subsequent Events, for additional discussion. Available-for-Sale Securities, at Fair Value —The Convertible Promissory Note is classified as an available-for-sale security. Available-for-sale investments are subsequently measured at fair value. Unrealized holding gains and losses are excluded from earnings and reported in other comprehensive income until realized. The Company determines fair value of its available-for-sale investments using unobservable inputs by considering the initial investment value, next round financing, and the likelihood of conversion or settlement based on the contractual terms in the agreement. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company evaluated the fair value of its Promissory Note and determined that the fair value approximates the carrying value of $1,165,575 and $1,105,935, respectively. Financial Instruments Where Carrying Value Approximates Fair Value —Th e carrying value of cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivables, and due from and to affiliates approximates fair value, and income tax receivables due to the short-term nature of their maturities. |

LMA Income Series, LP and LMA Income Series, GP LLC Secured Borrowing On September 2, 2022, LMA Income Series, GP, LLC, wholly owned and controlled by that LMA Series, LLC, formed a limited partnership, LMA Income Series, LP and subsequently issued partnership interests to limited partners in a private placement offering. The initial term of the offering is three years will end in December 2025 with the ability to extend for two additional one-year periods at the discretion of the general partner, LMA Income Series, GP, LLC. The limited partners will receive an annual dividend of 6.5% paid quarterly and 25% of returns in excess of a 6.5% internal rate of return capped at 9% which would require a 15% net internal rate of return. The General Partner will receive 75% of returns in excess of a 6.5% internal rate of return to limited partners then 100% in excess of a 15% net internal rate of return. It was determined that LMA Series, LLC is the primary beneficiary of LMA Income Series, LP and thus has fully consolidated the limited partnership in its consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

In this role, LMA has the unilateral ability to acquire and dispose of any of the above investments. As the partnership does not represent a business in accordance with ASC 810 and is a consolidated subsidiary that only holds financial assets, this represents a transfer subject to ASC 860-10. As the financial assets are not transferred outside the consolidated group, the proceeds from the offering shall be classified as a liability unless it meets the definition of a participating interest and the derecognition criteria in ASC 860 are met. The transferred interest did not meet the definition of a participating interest as LMA possesses the unilateral ability to direct the sale of the financial assets (ASC 860-10-50-6A(d)). In accordance with ASC 860-30-25-2, as the transfer of the financial assets did not meet the definition of a participating interest, LMA shall recognize the proceeds received from the offering as a secured borrowing. Dividends paid and accrued are included in interest expense.

Equity [Abstract] | |
SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY | STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY The Company is authorized to issue up to 200,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share. No shares of preferred stock are issued or outstanding. Holders of the Company’s common stock are entitled to one vote for each share. As of June 30, 2024, there were 75,484,567 shares of common stock issued, of which 74,436,341 are outstanding and 1,048,226 shares were held as treasury stock. Holders of shares were entitled to receive, in the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, ratably the assets available for distribution to the stockholders after payment of all liabilities. The equity structure has been recast in all comparative periods up to the Closing Date of June 30, 2023 to reflect the number of shares of the Company’s common stock, 0.0001 par value per share, issued to legacy LMA’s stockholders in connection with the Business Combination. As such, the shares and corresponding capital amounts and earnings per share related to legacy LMA common stock prior to the Business Combination have been retroactively recast as shares reflecting the exchange ratio of 0.8 established in the Business Combination. As of June 30, 2023, this resulted in 62,961,688 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. As of December 31, 2023, there were 63,388,823 shares of common stock issued, of which 63,242,173 are outstanding and 146,650 shares were held as treasury stock. On June 20, 2024, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Piper Sandler & Co., TD Securities (USA) LLC, B. Riley Securities, Inc. and KKR Capital Markets LLC, as representatives (“Representatives”) of the several underwriters (the “Underwriters”), relating to the underwritten offering of 10,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company’s common stock announced on June 13, 2024. Under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company granted the Underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to 1,500,000 additional shares of Common Stock (the “Option”). On June 21, 2024, the Underwriters exercised the Option in full. The Offering closed on June 24, 2024. On June 24, 2024, The Company received $86,270,000 net proceeds from the sale of its common stock, which was net of $5,730,000 in related transaction costs. As of June 30, 2024 the Company had accrued $1,483,627 for related transaction costs. Public Warrants As of June 30, 2024, the Company had 16,654,240 Public Warrants outstanding. Each redeemable whole Public Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $11.50 per full share, subject to adjustment as described. Public Warrants represent a freestanding financial instrument as it is traded on the Nasdaq under the symbol “ABLLW” and legally detachable and separately exercisable from the related underlying shares of the Company’s common stock. Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Public Warrants. The Public Warrants will expire five years from the purchase date for July 27, 2020 or August 25, 2020, the dates of the initial public offering and over-allotment, respectively, by the Sponsor, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. Redemption of Warrants for Cash - The Company may redeem the outstanding Public Warrants for cash: • in whole and not in part; • at a price of $0.01 per Public Warrant; • upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder; and • if, and only if, the last sale price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders. Redemption of Warrants for Shares of Class A Common Stock - The Company may redeem the outstanding warrants for shares of Class A common stock: • in whole and not in part; • at a price equal to a number of shares of Class A common stock to be determined by reference to the agreed table set forth in the warrant agreement based on the redemption date and the “fair market value” of the Class A common stock; • upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder; and • if, and only if, the last sale price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $10.00 per share (as adjusted per stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) on the trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders. If the Company elects to redeem all of the Public Warrants or the common stock is at the time of any exercise of a Public Warrant not listed on a national securities exchange, management has the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement. In such event, each holder would pay the exercise price by surrendering the whole warrants for that number of shares of common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of common stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the warrants and the “fair market value” (defined below) by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” shall mean the average reported last sale price of the common stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants. However, in no instance can the warrant holder unilaterally decide to exercise its Public Warrant on a cashless basis. The Company accounts for the Public Warrants as equity instruments. The Company estimated that the fair value of the warrants upon the Business Combination was approximately $4.73 million, or $0.274 per Public Warrant, using the binomial lattice model. The fair value of the warrants was estimated as of the date of grant using the following assumptions: (1) risk-free interest rate of 4.09%, (2) term to expiration of 5.00 years, (3) exercise price of $11.50 and (4) stock price of $10.03. The Company accounted for the warrant as an expense of the IPO resulting in a charge directly to stockholders’ equity on June 30, 2023. During 2024, the Company’s share price reached the warrant exercise price of $11.50. Certain public warrant holders redeemed their warrants for the Company’s common stock. As of June 30, 2024, the Company received $6,851,057 from the exercise of 595,744 public warrants. Stock Repurchase Program On December 11, 2023, our board of directors authorized a stock repurchase program under which the Company may purchase shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price not to exceed $15,000,000 over a period of up to 18 months. Stock repurchases may be made through open market transactions, block trades, accelerated stock repurchases, privately negotiated transactions, derivative transactions or otherwise, certain of which may be made pursuant to a trading plan meeting the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in compliance with applicable state and federal securities laws. The timing, as well as the number and value of stock repurchased under the program, will be determined by the Company at its discretion and will depend on a variety of factors, including our assessment of the intrinsic value of the Company's common stock, the market price of the Company's common stock, general market and economic conditions, available liquidity, compliance with the Company's debt and other agreements, applicable legal requirements, the nature of other investment opportunities available to the Company, and other considerations. The Company is not obligated to purchase any stock under the repurchase program, and the program may be suspended, modified, or discontinued at any time without prior notice. The Company expects to fund the repurchases by using cash on hand and expected free cash flow to be generated in the future. Acquired shares of our common stock are held as treasury stock carried at cost in our consolidated financial statements. In connection with the repurchase program, the Company is authorized to adopt one of more plans pursuant to the provisions of Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. As of June 30, 2024, $2,974,863 remained available for repurchase under the authorization approved by the Company’s board of directors. The authorization for the stock repurchase program may be suspended, terminated, increased or decreased by our board of directors at any time without prior notice.

Leases [Abstract] | |
LEASES | LEASES During 2023, the Company amended the lease with the lessor to swap office spaces, increase square footage, and extend the lease term from July 31, 2023 to December 31 2029. The Company applied the lease modification guidance to account for the amendment to the lease. The commencement date for the amended lease was December 8, 2023, the date the lessor allowed the Company to take possession of the space. The amended lease provided for a leasehold improvement allowance, a monthly lease abatement from August to December 2024, and an option terminate. The Company remeasured the ROU assets and the lease liabilities as of the commencement date. The Company determined that the termination option is not reasonably certain of exercise based on an evaluation of the contract, the termination fee, market and asset-based factors, and therefore does not exclude periods covered by the termination option. In February 2024, the Company added additional office space to the existing lease via an amendment. This amendment did not significantly change the overall terms of the amendment signed in 2023 and as a result was treated as a lease modification. The modification increased our right of use asset and liability by $359,352 . The Company’s right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for its operating lease consisted of the following amounts as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023: As of June 30, 2024 As of December 31, 2023 Assets: Operating lease right-of-use assets $ 2,108,034 $ 1,893,659 Liabilities: Current operating lease liability 297,397 118,058 Non-current operating lease liability 1,946,140 1,796,727 Total lease liability $ 2,243,537 $ 1,914,785 The Company recognizes lease expense for its operating leases within general, administrative, and other expenses on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE | EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE Basic earnings or (loss) per share represents net loss or income attributable to ordinary stockholders divided by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during the reported period. Treasury stock is excluded from the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings or (loss) per common share attributable to common shareholders is calculated to give effect to all potentially dilutive common shares that were outstanding during the reporting period, except in periods when there is a loss because the inclusion of the potential common shares would have an anti-dilutive effect. The dilutive effect of outstanding equity-based compensation awards is reflected in diluted earnings or loss per common share applicable to common shareholders by application of the treasury stock method using average market prices during the period. The shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants, Private Placement Warrants, or stock options will not impact the total dilutive weighted average shares outstanding unless and until the price of our common stock exceeds the respective strike price. If and when the price of our common stock exceeds the respective strike price of any of the warrants or stock options, we will include the dilutive effect of the additional shares that may be issued upon exercise of the warrants in total dilutive weighted average shares outstanding, which we calculate using the treasury stock method. The table below illustrates the reconciliation of the earnings or loss and number of shares used in our calculation of basic earnings or loss per share attributable to common stockholders: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 2023 2024 2023 Net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders for basic earnings (loss) per share $ 769,983 $ 6,750,145 $ (578,762) $ 14,835,648 Weighted average shares outstanding for basic earnings (loss) per share 63,846,170 50,507,728 63,087,878 50,438,921 Basic earnings (loss) per share $ 0.01 $ 0.13 $ (0.01) $ 0.29 The table below illustrates the reconciliation of the earnings or loss and number of shares used in our calculation of diluted earnings or loss per share attributable to common stockholders: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 2023 2024 2023 Net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders for basic earnings (loss) per share $ 769,983 $ 6,750,145 $ (578,762) $ 14,835,648 Reversal of gain on change in fair value of warrant liability — — (208,631) — Numerator used to calculate diluted earnings (loss) per share $ 769,983 $ 6,750,145 $ (787,393) $ 14,835,648 Weighted average shares outstanding for basic earnings (loss) per share 63,846,170 50,507,728 63,087,878 50,438,921 Effect of dilutive shares outstanding: RSUs 1,399,765 — — — Restricted Stock 1,916,885 — — — Private Placement Warrants — — 14,332 — Weighted average shares for diluted earnings (loss) per share 67,162,820 50,507,728 63,102,210 50,438,921 Diluted earnings (loss) per share $ 0.01 $ 0.13 $ (0.01) $ 0.29 |

Subsequent Events [Abstract] | |
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS | SUBSEQUENT EVENTS The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions from the consolidated balance sheet date through the date at which the consolidated financial statements were issued. Based upon the review, management did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements other than what is disclosed below. Planned acquisitions On July 18, 2024, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement to acquire Carlisle Management Company SCA (“Carlisle”), a leading Luxembourg-based investment manager in the life settlement space, for approximately $200 million. Carlisle shareholders will receive consideration in the form of the Company’s common stock and the Company’s Fixed Rate Senior Unsecured Notes due in 2028 representing approximately 62.3% and 37.7% of the purchase price, respectively, which is subject to closing adjustments and certain performance thresholds. This transaction is subject to regulatory approval. On August 7, 2024, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire FCF Advisors (“FCF”), a New York based asset manager and index provider specializing in free cash flow-focused investment strategies. FCF sellers will receive consideration split between cash and the Company’s common stock, which is subject to closing adjustments and approvals. Repayment of long-term debt, at fair value The investors in the LMATT Growth and Income 1.2026 note agreed to wind down this structured note earlier than originally planned on June 30, 2024. The prior end date would have been July 31, 2026. In anticipation of this new end date, the Company closed its option positions of $110,582 on June 28, 2024 (the last trading day in June). The realized gain on the option of $47,566 was recorded as realized gain on investments line item on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income. At this new end date, the structured note was valued at its cap of 40% total return based on the original principal committed.

The realized gain on the option of $809,178 was recorded as realized gain on investments line item on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income. The Company itself had ample assets to cover investor obligations. During the first week of July 2024, this debt of $4,610,009 was extinguished. Repayment of long-term debt, related party The Company paid off the SPV Purchase and Sale Note on July 2, 2024 before its scheduled maturity on July 5, 2026 with proceeds received from June’s common stock sale to reduce the Company’s interest costs.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS | BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying consolidated financial statements (“Interim Financial Statements”) are presented in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States ("U.S.") Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and do not include all of the disclosures normally required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP” or “GAAP”) as contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. We have condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC on March 21, 2024, as amended by Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A, filed with the SEC on May 30, 2024, and as amended by Amendment No. 2 on Form 10-K/A, filed with the SEC on June 12, 2024 (“2023 Annual Report”). Refer to Note 2 in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report for the full list of the Company’s significant accounting policies. The details in those notes have not changed, except as discussed in Note 2 to the Interim Financial Statements and as a result of normal adjustments in the interim periods. Capitalized terms used and not specifically defined herein have the same meanings given those terms in our 2023 Annual Report. We also may use certain other terms that are defined within these Interim Financial Statements. The Interim Financial Statements presented herein and discussed below include 100% of the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and cash flows of Abacus Life, Inc., (the “Company”) all entities in which the Company has a controlling voting interest (“subsidiaries”), and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) for which the Company is the primary beneficiary, as determined in accordance with consolidation accounting guidance. References in these Interim Financial Statements to net income or loss attributable to common stockholders and stockholders’ equity do not include noncontrolling interests, which represent the outside ownership of our consolidated non-wholly owned entity and are reported separately. Intercompany accounts and transactions between consolidated entities have been eliminated in consolidation. The Interim Financial Statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the audited annual financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2024, and the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Interim Financial Statements are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year, or any other period. All references to financial information in the Interim Financial Statements in the condensed notes to Interim Financial Statements are unaudited. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, cost of revenue, life settlement policy valuation, goodwill and intangibles valuation, market-indexed note valuation, and income taxes. The uncertainties in the broader macroeconomic environment have made it more challenging to make these estimates. Actual results could differ from our estimates, and such differences may be material. |

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS | DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS Abacus Settlements, LLC d/b/a Abacus Life (“Abacus”) was formed in 2004 in the state of New York. In 2016, the Company obtained its licensure in Florida and re-domesticated to that state. On June 13, 2023, the Company re-domesticated to Delaware. Abacus acts as a purchaser of outstanding life insurance policies (“Provider”) on behalf of investors (“Financing Entities”) by locating policies and screening them for eligibility for a life settlement, including verifying that the policy is in force, obtaining consents and disclosures, and submitting cases for life expectancy estimates, also known as origination services. When the sale of a policy is completed, this is deemed “settled” and the policy is then referred to as either a “life settlement” in which the insured’s life expectancy is greater than two years or “viatical settlement,” in which the insured’s life expectancy is less than two years. Abacus is not an insurance company, and therefore Abacus does not underwrite insurable risks for its own account. On June 30, 2023 Abacus was acquired by LMA. |

Subsidiary of Limited Liability Company or Limited Partnership [Line Items] | |
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS New Accounting Standards —The Company’s management reviews recent accounting standards to determine the impact to the Company’s financial statements. Below we discuss the impact of new accounting standard updates (“ASU”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) to the Interim Financial Statements. ASU 2023-07—“Segment Reporting (ASC 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures”, was intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. We early adopted ASU 2023-07 in the first quarter of 2024, by including significant segment expenses reviewed by the Company’s CODM. Refer to Note 11, Segment Reporting, for our updated presentation. ASU 2024-01—”Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope Application of Profits Interest and Similar Awards”. In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-01 to add an illustrative example to demonstrate how an entity should apply the scope guidance in paragraph 718-10-15-3 to determine whether profits interest and similar awards (“profits interest awards”) should be accounted for in accordance with Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation . The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and interim periods within those annual periods. Although early adoption of this ASU is permitted, the Company’s management chose to not early adopt this ASU. The amendments in this ASU should be applied either (1) retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements or (2) prospectively to profits interest and similar awards granted or modified on or after the date at which the entity first applies the amendments. If the amendments are applied retrospectively, an entity is required to provide the disclosures in paragraphs 250-10-50-1 through 50-3 in the period of adoption. If the amendments are applied prospectively, an entity is required to disclose the nature of and reason for the change in accounting principle. This ASU is not expected to have a significant impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements when adopted. ASU 2024-02—”Codification Improvements—Amendments to Remove References to the Concepts Statements”. In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-02 to remove references to various FASB Concepts Statements. The Board has a standing project on its agenda to address suggestions received from stakeholders on the Accounting Standards Codification and other incremental improvements to GAAP. This effort facilitates Codification updates for technical corrections such as conforming amendments, clarifications to guidance, simplifications to wording or the structure of guidance, and other minor improvements. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Although early adoption of this ASU is permitted for any fiscal year or interim period for which financial statements have not yet been issued (or made available for issuance), the Company’s management chose to not early adopt this ASU. The amendments in this ASU should be applied either (1) retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements or (2) prospectively to all new transactions recognized on or after the date that the entity first applies the amendments. This ASU is not expected to have a significant impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements when adopted. Stock Options —The Company awards stock options (“options”) to purchase the Company’s common stock at the market price of the stock on the grant date. Options generally vest over a period of three years and expire no later than 10 years from the grant date. Fair value is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model by applying certain assumptions. That fair value is reduced when options are forfeited. The fair value of options, net of forfeitures, is recognized in general and administrative expenses on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Concentrations —Two customers accounted for 13% and 10% of total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. Two customers accounted for 26% and 13% of total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Two customers accounted for 20% and 16% of total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. Two customers accounted for 11% and 10% of total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The Company purchases life insurance policies from various funds, directly from policy holders (“Client Direct”), or from Brokers or Agents representing policy holders (collectively “Seller” or “Sellers”). The Company purchased life insurance policies from one Seller that accounted for 54% of the total policies purchased for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The Company purchased life insurance policies from three Sellers that accounted for 37% , 11% and 10% of the total policies purchased for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The Company did not purchase policies from any Seller that accounted for 10% or greater of the policies purchased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. Reclassifications —Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current presentation. |

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation —The accompanying financial statements are presented in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). Unaudited Financial Statements —The financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the audited annual financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022, and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of Abacus’ financial position as of June 30, 2023, and the results of its operations and comprehensive loss and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. Use of Estimates —The preparation of US GAAP financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and changes therein, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of financial statements and the reports amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Abacus’ estimates, judgments, and assumptions are continually evaluated based on available information and experience. Because of the use of estimates inherent in the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from the estimates. Estimates are used when accounting for revenue recognition and related costs, the selection of useful lives of property and equipment, impairment testing, valuation of other receivables from clients, income taxes, and legal reserves. Concentrations —All of Abacus’ revenues are derived from life settlement transactions in which Abacus represents Financing Entities that purchased existing life insurance policies. One financing entity, a company in which the Abacus’ members own interests, represented 23% of Abacus’ revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2023. Abacus originates policies through three different channels: Direct to Consumer, Agent, and Broker. Two brokers represented the sellers for over 10% of Abacus’ life settlement commission expense during the period six months ended June 30, 2023. Abacus maintains cash deposits with a major financial institution, which from time to time may exceed federally insured limits. Abacus periodically assesses the financial condition of the institution and believes that the risk of loss is minimal. Advertising —All advertising expenditures incurred by Abacus are charged to expense in the period to which they relate and are included in general and administrative expenses on the accompanying statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Advertising expense $367,418 for three months ended June 30, 2023. Advertising expense totaled $741,789 for six months ended June 30, 2023. |

SEGMENT REPORTING | SEGMENT REPORTING Segment Information —The Business Combination that took place on June 30, 2023, where ERES, LMA and Abacus Settlements consummated the combining of the Companies, triggered a re-organization of Abacus Life Inc., where the legacy Abacus Settlements business and legacy LMA business would both operate under Abacus Life, Inc. subsequent to the Business Combination date. Abacus Settlements historically had one operating and reportable segment, Originations. LMA historically had two operating and reportable segments, (1) Portfolio Servicing and (2) Active Management. As the Business Combination did not occur until the last day of the second quarter of 2023, income activity related to Abacus Settlements had not yet been reported by Abacus Life, Inc. as the businesses did not begin operating as a combined Company until July 1, 2023. As such, beginning in the third quarter of 2023, the Company organizes its business into three reportable segments (1) Portfolio Servicing, (2) Active Management, and (3) Originations, which all generate revenue and incur expenses in different manners. This segment structure reflects the financial information and reports used by the Company’s management, specifically its chief operating decision maker (CODM), to make decisions regarding the Company’s business, including resource allocations and performance assessments, as well as the current operating focus in compliance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting . The Company’s CODM is the President and Chief Executive Officer. The Company’s reportable segments are not aggregated. The Portfolio Servicing segment generates revenues by providing policy services to customers on a contract basis. The Active Management segment generates revenues by buying, selling, and trading policies and maintaining policies until receipt of death benefits. The Originations segment generates revenue by originating life insurance policy settlements between investors or buyers, and the sellers, who are often the original policy owner. The policies are purchased from owners or other providers through advisors, brokers or directly through the owner. The Company’s method for measuring profitability on a reportable segment basis is gross profit. The CODM does not review disaggregated assets by segment. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 in March 2024. The most significant provision was for the Company to disclose significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the CODM.

INCOME TAXES | INCOME TAXES Before June 30, 2023 the date of the Merger, LMA and Abacus had elected to file as an S corporation for federal and state income tax purposes, as such, neither LMA nor Abacus incurred federal or state income taxes, except for income taxes related to LMA’s consolidated variable interest entities (VIE) and subsidiaries which are taxable C corporations. These VIEs and subsidiaries include LMATT Series 2024, Inc., the wholly owned subsidiary of LMX, which is consolidated into LMA as a VIE, as well as LMATT Growth Series 2.2024, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of LMA Series, LLC, and LMATT Growth and Income Series 1.2026, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of LMA Series, LLC, all of which are 100% owned subsidiaries and fully consolidated. Accordingly, the provision for income taxes was attributable to amounts for LMATT Series 2024, Inc, LMATT Growth Series 2.2024, Inc. and LMATT Growth and Income Series 1,2026, Inc. After the Merger, both LMA and Abacus are considered disregarded entities of the Company, a C corporation for federal and state income tax purposes. For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $1,757,710 and $1,184,571, respectively. The effective tax rate is 73.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 primarily driven by the portion of the stock-based compensation expense deduction limited by the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 162(m). The effective rate for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was 15.0% due to the impact of the VIEs. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $2,931,223 and $528,104, respectively. The effective tax rate is 127.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 primarily driven by the portion of the stock-based compensation expense deduction limited by the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 162(m). The effective rate for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was 3.5% due to the impact of the VIEs. The Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain tax positions at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, and did not recognize any interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions at June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023. The Company does not anticipate that changes in its unrecognized tax benefits will have a material impact on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income du ring 2024. |

INCOME TAXES | INCOME TAXES Since Abacus elected to file as an S corporation for federal and State income tax purposes, Abacus incurred no federal or state income taxes. Accordingly, provision for income taxes is attributable to minimum state tax payments that are due regardless of their S corporation status and income position. For the three months ended June 30, 2023 the company did not record provision for income taxes. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, Abacus recorded provision for income taxes of $2,289, which consist of state minimum taxes for state taxes that have been paid and settled during the period. The effective tax rate was approximately —% and (0.24)% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. Given Abacus' S Corporation status, temporary book and tax differences do not create a deferred tax asset or liability on the balance sheets. Accordingly, an assessment of realizability of any deferred tax asset balances is not relevant. |

Basis of Presentation | The accompanying consolidated financial statements (“Interim Financial Statements”) are presented in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States ("U.S.") Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and do not include all of the disclosures normally required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP” or “GAAP”) as contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. We have condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC on March 21, 2024, as amended by Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A, filed with the SEC on May 30, 2024, and as amended by Amendment No. 2 on Form 10-K/A, filed with the SEC on June 12, 2024 (“2023 Annual Report”). Refer to Note 2 in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report for the full list of the Company’s significant accounting policies. The details in those notes have not changed, except as discussed in Note 2 to the Interim Financial Statements and as a result of normal adjustments in the interim periods. Capitalized terms used and not specifically defined herein have the same meanings given those terms in our 2023 Annual Report. We also may use certain other terms that are defined within these Interim Financial Statements. The Interim Financial Statements presented herein and discussed below include 100% of the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and cash flows of Abacus Life, Inc., (the “Company”) all entities in which the Company has a controlling voting interest (“subsidiaries”), and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) for which the Company is the primary beneficiary, as determined in accordance with consolidation accounting guidance. References in these Interim Financial Statements to net income or loss attributable to common stockholders and stockholders’ equity do not include noncontrolling interests, which represent the outside ownership of our consolidated non-wholly owned entity and are reported separately. Intercompany accounts and transactions between consolidated entities have been eliminated in consolidation. The Interim Financial Statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the audited annual financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2024, and the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Interim Financial Statements are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year, or any other period. All references to financial information in the Interim Financial Statements in the condensed notes to Interim Financial Statements are unaudited. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, cost of revenue, life settlement policy valuation, goodwill and intangibles valuation, market-indexed note valuation, and income taxes. The uncertainties in the broader macroeconomic environment have made it more challenging to make these estimates. Actual results could differ from our estimates, and such differences may be material. |
New Accounting Standards | New Accounting Standards —The Company’s management reviews recent accounting standards to determine the impact to the Company’s financial statements. Below we discuss the impact of new accounting standard updates (“ASU”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) to the Interim Financial Statements. ASU 2023-07—“Segment Reporting (ASC 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures”, was intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. We early adopted ASU 2023-07 in the first quarter of 2024, by including significant segment expenses reviewed by the Company’s CODM. Refer to Note 11, Segment Reporting, for our updated presentation. ASU 2024-01—”Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope Application of Profits Interest and Similar Awards”. In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-01 to add an illustrative example to demonstrate how an entity should apply the scope guidance in paragraph 718-10-15-3 to determine whether profits interest and similar awards (“profits interest awards”) should be accounted for in accordance with Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation . The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and interim periods within those annual periods. Although early adoption of this ASU is permitted, the Company’s management chose to not early adopt this ASU. The amendments in this ASU should be applied either (1) retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements or (2) prospectively to profits interest and similar awards granted or modified on or after the date at which the entity first applies the amendments. If the amendments are applied retrospectively, an entity is required to provide the disclosures in paragraphs 250-10-50-1 through 50-3 in the period of adoption. If the amendments are applied prospectively, an entity is required to disclose the nature of and reason for the change in accounting principle. This ASU is not expected to have a significant impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements when adopted. |
Stock Options | Stock Options —The Company awards stock options (“options”) to purchase the Company’s common stock at the market price of the stock on the grant date. Options generally vest over a period of three years and expire no later than 10 years from the grant date. Fair value is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model by applying certain assumptions. That fair value is reduced when options are forfeited. The fair value of options, net of forfeitures, is recognized in general and administrative expenses on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. |
Reclassifications | Reclassifications —Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current presentation. |

Unaudited Financial Statements —The financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the audited annual financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022, and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of Abacus’ financial position as of June 30, 2023, and the results of its operations and comprehensive loss and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates —The preparation of US GAAP financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and changes therein, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of financial statements and the reports amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Abacus’ estimates, judgments, and assumptions are continually evaluated based on available information and experience. Because of the use of estimates inherent in the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from the estimates. Estimates are used when accounting for revenue recognition and related costs, the selection of useful lives of property and equipment, impairment testing, valuation of other receivables from clients, income taxes, and legal reserves. |
Concentrations | Concentrations —All of Abacus’ revenues are derived from life settlement transactions in which Abacus represents Financing Entities that purchased existing life insurance policies. One financing entity, a company in which the Abacus’ members own interests, represented 23% of Abacus’ revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2023. Abacus originates policies through three different channels: Direct to Consumer, Agent, and Broker. Two brokers represented the sellers for over 10% of Abacus’ life settlement commission expense during the period six months ended June 30, 2023. Abacus maintains cash deposits with a major financial institution, which from time to time may exceed federally insured limits. Abacus periodically assesses the financial condition of the institution and believes that the risk of loss is minimal. |
