(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION, ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting and reflect the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. As such, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021, which was filed with the SEC on June 29, 2021. The results from operations for the three-month period ended September 30, 2021, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022.

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and the disclosure of contingent amounts in the Company’s financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

 

Organization and Nature of Operations

 

Sundance Strategies, Inc. (formerly known as Java Express, Inc.) was organized under the laws of the State of Nevada on December 14, 2001, and engaged in the retail selling of beverage products to the general public until these endeavors ceased in 2006; it had no material business operations from 2006, until its acquisition of ANEW LIFE, INC. (“ANEW LIFE”), a subsidiary of Sundance Strategies, Inc. (“Sundance Strategies”, “the Company”, “we” or “our”).

 

Our historical business model has focused on purchasing or acquiring life insurance policies and residual interests in or financial products tied to life insurance policies, including notes, drafts, acceptances, open accounts receivable and other obligations representing part of or all of the sales price of insurance, life settlements and related insurance contracts being traded in the secondary marketplace, often referred to as the “life settlements market.”

 

During the latter part of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021, the Company began developing an additional business offering, providing professional services to specialty structured finance groups, bond issuers and life settlement aggregators. The Company has now assembled an experienced team from the life settlement marketplace, as well as from other areas such as financial services and public financial markets. As a professional services provider, the Company applies industry best practices to advise on the selection of specific portfolios of life insurance policies that are tailored to meet the needs of its clients. The Company’s clients may include bond issuers, bond investors, or other structured finance product issuers. The Company develops strategies and methodologies which include the acquisition of life insurance portfolios, then uses common structured finance techniques and proprietary analytics to structure bonds for issuances, including principal protected bonds. The Company’s goal is to deliver long-term value and profitability to shareholders by growing the Company’s professional services business and asset base, resulting in the ability to pay dividends to its shareholders.

 

Most recently the Company began working closely with bond placement agents and aggregators to establish various aspects of a proprietary, investment grade bond offering. In this arrangement, the Company participates as the sole originator in the role of structuring and advising on the structure of the proprietary bond instrument. Included in the role of structuring financial assets, the Company uses proprietary analytics to establish the makeup of the rated instrument, including but not limited to, life settlement assets (life insurance policies) and managed cash, and implements a process of selective assembly of the underlying assets and cash management that will meet the policy requirements and analytics. The Company provides current and ongoing resources for all analytics, as well as advisement support for the investment and non-investment grade ratings for the managed asset pool and the managed cash accounts. In its advisory role, the Company is reimbursed for all expenses associated with the structuring and preparation of any bond offering, will receive an advisory payment upon the closing of any bond offering, and then will hold residual rights on the balance of assets once the bond is retired.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2021, the Company and US Capital Global Securities LLC, an affiliate of US Capital Global, entered into an arrangement wherein the Company is the lead advisor and lead originator of tailored life insurance portfolios to be used in a life insurance-linked bond offering (“bond offering”) of between $250 million to $500 million. US Capital Global Securities LLC is the lead placement agent and is marketing the bond offering on behalf of the issuer on a best-efforts basis to qualified investors. The Company has worked with Egan Jones rating agency to obtain a minimum of BBB plus to an A minus rating on the bond offering. This initial rating is based upon a sample portfolio of life settlement assets similar to those expected to be utilized in the bond offering. Once a percentage of the bond offering is in escrow, then the actual life settlement portfolios will be purchased and held until the bond offering closes. Once the final group of assets are assembled, then a final rating will be obtained. The Company has engaged a licensed asset manager, whose projected returns will be approved by the rating agency. Important for the success of the bond is the treatment of the various cash accounts that will support the bond. The two primary accounts will be the Investment account and the Cash Reserve account. These accounts will represent approximately 40% of the total cash raised from the bond offering. The Investment and Cash Reserve accounts are projected to produce sufficient annual returns to support the cost associated to maintain the bonds. A nationally recognized trust manager has been engaged to insure all the workings of the bond are handled properly and timely. An actuarial company has also been engaged to provide the modeling needed for the rating agency, asset manager and bond issuer. For services provided, the Company will receive a fee upon the closing on the bond offering and will also hold a residual monetary right to cash flows from the life settlement assets once the bond is retired.

 

Significant Accounting Policies

 

There have been no changes to the significant accounting policies of the Company from the information provided in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s most recent Form 10-K, except as discussed below.

 

Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

 

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented using the treasury stock method. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by including common shares that may be issued subject to existing rights with dilutive potential, when applicable. Potential dilutive common stock equivalents are primarily comprised of potential dilutive shares resulting from convertible debt agreements and common stock warrants. Potentially dilutive shares resulting from convertible debt agreements are evaluated using the if-converted method. Potentially dilutive securities are not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share for the three and six months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, because to do so would be anti-dilutive. Potentially dilutive securities outstanding as of September 30, 2021 and 2020 are comprised of warrants convertible into 4,758,754 and 2,133,000 shares of common stock, respectively.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

Not Yet Adopted

 

The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet adopted, accounting standards, in order to determine their effects, if any, on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Based on that review, the Company believes that none of these pronouncements will have a significant effect on its financial statements.

(2) LIQUIDITY REQUIREMENTS

 

Since the Company’s inception on January 31, 2013, its operations have been primarily financed through sales of equity, debt financing from related parties and the issuance of notes payable and convertible debentures. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had $939 of cash assets, compared to $21,179 as of March 31, 2021. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had access to draw an additional $4,704,192 on the notes payable, related party (see Note 6) and $2,700,000 on the Convertible Debenture Agreement (See Note 7). For the six months ended September 30, 2021, the Company’s average monthly operating expenses were approximately $70,000, which includes salaries of our employees, consulting agreements and contract labor, general and administrative expenses and legal and accounting expenses. The Company anticipates the average monthly expenses of $70,000 to decrease by approximately $6,000 over the next 12 months, resulting in ongoing, average monthly expenses of approximately $64,000. In addition to the monthly operating expenses, the Company continues to pursue other debt and equity financing opportunities, and as a result, financing expenses of $10,000 were incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2021. As management continues to explore additional financing alternatives, beginning October 1, 2021 the Company is expected to spend up to an additional $400,000 on these efforts. Outstanding Accounts Payable as of September 30, 2021 totaled $551,216. Management has concluded that its existing capital resources and availability under its existing convertible debentures and debt agreements with related parties will be sufficient to fund its operating working capital requirements for at least the next 12 months, or through November 2022. Related parties have given assurance that their continued support, by way of either extensions of due dates, or increases in lines-of-credit, can be relied on. As mentioned above, the Company also continues to evaluate other debt and equity financing opportunities.

 

The outbreak of COVID-19 originated in Wuhan, China, in December 2019 and has since spread to multiple countries, including the United States and several European countries. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak a pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic is affecting the United States and global economies and may affect the Company’s operations and those of third parties on which the Company relies. While the potential economic impact brought by, and the duration of, the COVID-19 pandemic is difficult to assess or predict, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global financial markets may reduce the Company’s ability to access capital, which could negatively impact the Company’s short-term and long-term liquidity. The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is highly uncertain and subject to change. The Company does not yet know the full extent of potential delays or impacts on its business, financing or other activities or on healthcare systems or the global economy as a whole. However, these effects could have a material impact on the Company’s liquidity, capital resources, operations and business and those of the third parties on which we rely.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis under which the Company is expected to be able to realize its assets and satisfy its liabilities in the normal course of business.

 

(3) FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

As defined by ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”), fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 also requires the consideration of differing levels of inputs in the determination of fair values.

 

Those levels of input are summarized as follows:

 

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
   
Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices, such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.
   
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

SUNDANCE STRATEGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

September 30, 2021

 

The level in the fair value hierarchy within which a fair value measurement in its entirety falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

 

The Company did not have any transfers of assets and liabilities between Levels 1, 2 and 3 of the fair value measurement hierarchy during the six months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

 

Other Financial Instruments

 

The Company’s recorded values of cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expenses and other assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values based on their short-term nature. The recorded values of the notes payable and convertible debenture approximate the fair values as the interest rate approximates market interest rates.

 

(4) STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

Common Stock

 

On May 4, 2021, the Company issued 1,200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to members of the Board of Directors in lieu of director compensation. The stock awards vested 25% on the date of grant and the remainder of the shares vested equally over the three months following the date granted. Using a fair value stock price of $0.062 per share, the transaction resulted in a compensation expense of $73,920, of which $55,440 was recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2021, and the remainder was recognized during the three months ending September 30, 2021.

 

Warrants to Purchase Common Stock

 

The following table summarizes the changes in warrants outstanding of the Company during the six months ended September 30, 2021:

SCHEDULE OF WARRANT OUTSTANDING

    Number of Warrants     Weighted Average Exercise Price ($)  
             
Outstanding at March 31, 2021     3,488,754     $ 0.05  
Granted     1,270,000     $ 0.87  
Outstanding at September 30, 2021     4,758,754     $ 0.27  

 

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021, the Company’s related party lenders consisting of: the Chairman of the Board of Directors and a stockholder, Radiant Life, LLC and Mr. Dickman, the holder of the related party unsecured promissory notes, all amended their agreements to provide each related party with common stock warrants upon the lender’s extension of a maturity due date or upon the loaning of additional monies. The number of warrants issued for an extension is based on the following formula: 10,000 warrants per month the due date is extended plus 1 warrant for every $2 of the principal balance outstanding (not including interest) at the time of the extension (rounded to the nearest whole warrant). Upon the loaning of additional monies, the lender will also require 2 warrants for each dollar loaned. All warrants issued under these terms have an exercise price of $0.05 and expire 5 years from the date of issuance.

 

During the six months ended September 30, 2021, the Company issued 200,000 warrants to Radiant Life, LLC and 20,000 warrants to the Chairman of the Board of Directors and a stockholder in conjunction with monies borrowed during the period (see Note 6) per the terms outlined above.

 

On April 6, 2021, the Company borrowed $300,000 under an unsecured promissory note with Satco International, Ltd. (see Note 5). In conjunction with this note, the Company issued a warrant for 1,000,000 shares of common stock, exercisable at $1.00 per share and expiring in 3 years from the date of the promissory note. The value of the warrants on the date of grant, as calculated by the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model, was not significant. The inputs used in this calculation included a fair value of $0.062 per share, a risk-free rate of 0.35%, volatility of 50.3% and a dividend rate of 0%.

 

On July 29, 2021, the Company borrowed an additional $50,000 from Radiant Life, LLC, a related party. In conjunction with this specific loan event, a one-time agreement specifies that the associated warrants issued totaled 50,000, have an exercise price of $2.00, and expire in 5 years.

 

The following table summarizes the warrants issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2021:

Exercise Price ($)     Warrants Outstanding     Warrants Exercisable     Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (Years)     Proceeds to Company if Exercised ($)  
                                     
  0.05       3,708,754       3,708,754       3.93       185,438  
  1.00       1,000,000       1,000,000       2.52       1,000,000  
  2.00       50,000       50,000       4.84       100,000  
          4,758,754       4,758,754               1,285,438  

 

The estimated fair value of the warrants on the date of grant, as calculated by the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model, was not significant. The average remaining outstanding life of the warrants as of March 31, 2021, was 3.47 years. The shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants are not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the holders of the warrants do not have registration rights with respect to the warrants or the underlying shares of common stock.

Item 2. Management’s Discussions and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

This discussion summarizes the significant factors affecting our consolidated operating results, financial condition, liquidity and capital resources at and during the six months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. For a complete understanding, this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and Notes to the Financial Statements contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2021.

 

Forward-looking Statements

 

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) that are based on management’s beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to management. For this purpose any statement contained in this report that is not a statement of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking, including, but not limited to, statements relating to our future actions, intentions, plans, strategies, objectives, results of operations, cash flows and the adequacy of or need to seek additional capital resources and liquidity.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes contained elsewhere in this report and in our other filings with the Commission.

 

Overview

 

Our historical business model has focused on purchasing or acquiring life insurance policies and residual interests in or financial products tied to life insurance policies, including notes, drafts, acceptances, open accounts receivable and other obligations representing part or all of the sales price of insurance, life settlements and related insurance contracts being traded in the secondary marketplace, often referred to as the “life settlements market.”

 

13

 

 

We currently do not hold life settlement or life insurance policies but, rather, previously held a contractual right to receive the net insurance benefits, or “NIBs”, from a portfolio of life insurance policies held by a third party (“the Owners” or “the Holders”). These NIBs represented an indirect, residual ownership interest in a portfolio of individual life insurance policies, and they allowed us to receive a portion of the settlement proceeds from such policies, after expenses related to the acquisition, financing, insuring and servicing of the policies underlying our NIBs have been paid.

 

NIBs are generally sold by an entity that holds the underlying life settlement or life insurance policies, either directly or indirectly through a subsidiary, such an entity being referred to herein as a “Holder.” A Holder, either directly or through a wholly owned subsidiary, purchases life insurance policies either from the insured or on the secondary market and aggregates them into a portfolio of policies. At the time of purchase, the Holder also (i) contracts with a service provider to manage the servicing of the policies until maturity, (ii) consider purchasing mortality re-insurance (“MRI”) coverage under which payments will be made to the Holder in the event the insurance policies do not mature according to actuarial life expectancies, and (iii) arranges financing to cover the initial purchase of the insurance policies, the servicing of the life insurance policies until maturity and the payment of the MRI premiums. The financing obtained by the Holder for a portfolio of life settlement or life insurance policies is secured by the insurance policies for which the financing was obtained. After a Holder purchases policies, aggregates them into a portfolio and arranges for the servicing, MRI coverage and financing, the Holder contracts to sell NIBs related to the policies, which gives the holder of the NIBs the right to receive the proceeds from the settlement of the insurance policies after all of the expenses related to such policies have been paid. When an insurance policy underlying our NIBs comes to maturity, the insurance proceeds are first used to pay expenses associated with such policy. Once all of the expenses have been paid, the Holder will retain a small percentage of the proceeds and then will pay the remaining insurance proceeds to us.

 

During the latter part of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021, we began developing an additional business offering, providing professional services to specialty structured finance groups, bond issuers and life settlement aggregators. We have assembled an experienced team from the life settlement marketplace, as well as from other areas such as financial services and public financial markets. As a professional services provider, we apply industry best practices to advise on the selection of specific portfolios of life insurance policies that are tailored to meet the needs of its clients. Our clients may include bond issuers, bond investors, or other structured finance product issuers. We develop strategies and methodologies which include the acquisition of life insurance portfolios, then use common structured finance techniques and proprietary analytics to structure bonds for issuances, including principal protected bonds. Our goal is to deliver long-term value and profitability to shareholders by growing our professional services business and asset base, resulting in the ability to pay dividends to its shareholders.

 

Most recently we began working closely with bond placement agents and aggregators to establish various aspects of a proprietary, investment grade bond offering. In this arrangement, we participate as the sole originator in the role of structuring and advising on the structure of the proprietary bond instrument. Included in the role of structuring financial assets, we use proprietary analytics to establish the makeup of the rated instrument, including but not limited to, life settlement assets (life insurance policies) and managed cash, and implements a process of selective assembly of the underlying assets and cash management that will meet the policy requirements and analytics. We provide current and ongoing resources for all analytics, as well as advisement support for the investment and non-investment grade ratings for the managed asset pool and the managed cash accounts. In our advisory role, we are reimbursed for all expenses associated with the structuring and preparation of any bond offering, will receive an advisory payment upon the closing of any bond offering, and then will hold residual rights on the balance of assets once the bond is retired.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2021, we and US Capital Global Securities LLC, an affiliate of US Capital Global, entered into an arrangement wherein we are the lead advisor and lead originator of tailored life insurance portfolios to be used in a life insurance-linked bond offering (“bond offering”) of between $250 million to $500 million. US Capital Global Securities LLC is the lead placement agent and is marketing the bond offering on behalf of the issuer on a best-efforts basis to qualified investors. We have worked with Egan Jones rating agency to obtain a minimum of BBB plus to an A minus rating on the bond offering. This initial rating is based upon a sample portfolio of life settlement assets similar to those expected to be utilized in the bond offering. Once a percentage of the bond offering is in escrow, then the actual life settlement portfolios will be purchased and held until the bond offering closes. Once the final group of assets are assembled, then a final rating will be obtained. We have engaged a licensed asset manager, whose projected returns will be approved by the rating agency. Important for the success of the bond is the treatment of the various cash accounts that will support the bond. The two primary accounts will be the Investment account and the Cash Reserve account. These accounts will represent approximately 40% of the total cash raised from the bond offering. The Investment and Cash Reserve accounts are projected to produce sufficient annual returns to support the cost associated to maintain the bonds. A nationally recognized trust manager has been engaged to insure all the workings of the bond are handled properly and timely. An actuarial company has also been engaged to provide the modeling needed for the rating agency, asset manager and bond issuer. For services provided, we will receive a fee upon the closing on the bond offering and will also hold a residual monetary right to cash flows from the life settlement assets once the bond is retired.

 

Plan of Operations

 

Life Settlements is not a market sector without competition and, at present, we are a minor competitor. We will need substantial additional funds to effectively compete in this industry and no assurance can be given that we will be able to adequately fund our current and intended operations through debt or equity financing. The Company has no current source of operating revenues. When we hold NIBs we may be required to expend funds on premiums, interest and servicing costs to protect our interest in NIBs, though we have no legal responsibility nor adequate funds for these payments. In the event that neither party fulfils the financial obligations pertaining to the premiums, interest and servicing costs, we would be required to evaluate our investment in NIBs for possible adverse impairment.

 

When we hold NIBs, we use an estimation methodology to project cash flows and returns as presented. The estimation model requires many assumptions, including, but not limited to the following: (i) an assumption that the distinct number of lives in our portfolio would exhibit similar experience to a statistically diverse portfolio from which mortality tables have been created; (ii) an assumption that the life expectancies (the “LE” or “LEs”) provided by LE providers represent the actuarial mean of the life expectancies of the insureds in our portfolio, (iii) the weighted average of the LEs provided by the LE providers represents an appropriate method for adjusting for discrepancies in the LEs; (iv) life expectancy tables and projections are accurate; (v) the minimum premiums calculated based on the in-force illustrations provided by life insurance carriers are accurate and will not change over the course of the lifetime of our portfolio; and (vi) the Holders’ Lender fees, MRI fees, and insurance, servicing and custodial fees will not change materially over time. While this method of modeling cash flows is helpful in providing a theoretical expectation of potential returns that might be produced from our NIBs portfolio, actual cash flows and returns inevitably will be different (possibly materially) due to the fact that predicting the exact date of death of any individual is virtually impossible. The provision of a theoretical cash flow model is by no means any guarantee of any results. The actual performance of these NIB interests (as well as our future expectations as to what such performance might be) may differ substantially from our expectations, especially if any of the assumptions change or differ from our initial assumptions.

 

Results of Operations

 

Three-Months Ended September 30, 2021, Compared with Three-Months Ended September 30, 2020

 

Income from Investments

 

Due to the Company not holding NIBs, no interest income was recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2021 or 2020.

 

General & Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses totaled $172,144 and $235,918 during the three months ended September 30, 2021, and 2020, respectively. A significant portion of these expenses were professional fees and payroll costs. The decrease in expenses was primarily due to a decrease in professional fees.

 

15

 

 

Other Income and Expenses

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, other expenses related to pursuing potential financing alternatives were $10,000 and $40,730, respectively.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, and 2020, interest expense accrued in the amount of $68,352 and $55,945, respectively. The increased interest expense was due to higher principal balances on our notes payable.

 

Income Taxes

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded a net loss before income taxes of $250,496 and had an income tax expense of $4,149 due to minimum income and franchise taxes across various state jurisdictions with all other deferred income tax expense or benefit being offset as a result of a full valuation allowance on the net deferred tax asset.

 

Six-Months Ended September 30, 2021, Compared with Six-Months Ended September 30, 2020

 

Income from Investments

General & Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses totaled $415,605 and $360,259 during the six months ended September 30, 2021, and 2020, respectively. A significant portion of these expenses were professional fees and payroll costs. The increase in expenses was primarily due to the compensation expense related to the common stock issued to our directors.

 

Other Income and Expenses

 

During the six months ended September 30, 2021, we negotiated a settlement to reduce our outstanding accounts payable to one of our vendors by $285,192. The gain was recorded as a gain on settlement of liabilities.

 

For the six months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, other expenses related to pursuing potential financing alternatives were $87,561 and $115,230, respectively.

 

During the six months ended September 30, 2021, and 2020, interest expense accrued in the amount of $133,737 and $108,190, respectively. The increased interest expense was due slightly higher principal balances on our notes payable.

 

Income Taxes

 

During the six months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded a net loss before income taxes of $351,711 and had an income tax expense of $4,149 due to minimum income and franchise taxes across various state jurisdictions with all other deferred income tax expense or benefit being offset as a result of a full valuation allowance on the net deferred tax asset.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Since our inception our operations have been primarily financed through sales of equity instruments, debt financing, lines of credit and notes payable from related and unrelated parties and the issuance of convertible debentures. As of September 30, 2021, we had $939 of cash, compared to $21,179 as of March 31, 2021. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had access to draw an additional $4,704,192 on the notes payable, related party and $3,000,000 on the Convertible Debenture Agreement. Our monthly expenses are anticipated to be approximately $70,000, which includes salaries of our employees, policy servicing expenses, consulting agreements and contract labor, general and administrative expenses, and estimated legal and accounting expenses. Outstanding Accounts Payable as of September 30, 2021 totaled $551,216, short term notes payable totaled $300,000, short term notes payable to related parties totaled $876,000, and other accrued liabilities totaled $863,560. We believe that our availability under our existing lines of credit with related parties, our existing capital resources, together with the issuance of additional notes payable and convertible debentures will be sufficient to fund our operating working capital requirements for at least the next 12 months, or through November 2022.

 

Debt

 

At September 30, 2021, we owed $3,973,350, including accrued interest, for debt obligations. We owed $2,901,808 in principal pursuant to notes payable and lines-of-credits from related parties, $300,000 in other notes payable, and had fully paid off the principal owing on the 8% Convertible Debenture. As of September 30, 2021, one note payable and line-of-credit had a principal balance of $959,508 and is due on November 30, 2022, or when the Company completes a successful equity raise, at which time principal and interest is due in full. The second note payable and line-of-credit had a principal balance of $1,066,300, and the line of credit is currently extended through November 30, 2022. At September 30, 2021, unsecured promissory notes with related parties had principal balances totaling $876,000, with $50,000 due July 29, 2021 and the remaining $826,000 due November 30, 2021. The convertible debenture agreement, which has no principal balance due as of September 30, 2021 is open through November 30, 2021. As of November 15, 2021, there was $4,704,192 available under the lines-of-credit we currently have with related parties and $3,000,000 available under the 8% convertible debenture agreement.
