REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To
the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Sundance Strategies, Inc.:
Opinion
on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Sundance
Strategies, Inc. and Subsidiaries (“the Company”) as of March 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of operations
, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended March 31, 2021 and the related notes
(collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations
and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended March 31, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.
Basis
for Opinion
These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company
in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
and the PCAOB.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error
or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial
reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but
not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our
audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to
error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining on a test basis, evidence
regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical
Audit Matters
The
critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current-period audit of the consolidated financial statements
that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that
are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication
of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not,
by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing a separate audit opinion on the critical audit matters or on the
accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
F- 1
Evaluation
of a Going Concern
Description
of the Critical Audit Matter
As
described further in Note 9 to the financial statements, the Company has relied on debt and equity financing to finance operations,
as there are not sufficient cash flows from operations, which raises doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management
has implemented plans to alleviate the substantial doubt. Management plans to address the concerns, as needed, by (a) utilizing
recent financing obtained through notes payable; (b) utilizing current lines of credit. When considering these factors in conjunction
with the Company’s operating plan, management believes it has sufficient ability to fund operations and satisfy the Company’s
obligations as they come due for at least one year from the financial statement issuance date.
We
determined the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is a critical audit matter due to the estimation and execution
uncertainty regarding the Company’s available capital and the risk of bias in management’s judgments and assumptions
in their determination.
How
the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our
audit procedures related to the Company’s assertion on its ability to continue as a going concern included the following,
among others:
●
We
performed testing procedures such as analytical procedures to identify conditions and events that indicate there could be
substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
●
We
reviewed and evaluated management’s plans for dealing with adverse effect of these conditions and events that raised
doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
●
We
tested the reasonableness of management’s assessment of whether the Company has sufficient liquidity to fund operations
for at least one year from the financial statement issuance date.
●
We
assessed whether the Company’s determination that there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going
concern was adequately disclosed.
Valuation
of Equity-based Compensation
Description
of the Critical Audit Matter
During
the year ended March 31, 2021, the Company issued common stock and warrants that required management to assess the fair value
of these instruments in order to record and disclose the transactions. The Company’s common stock does not trade on an active
market. The Company utilized a third-party valuation specialist to assist in the determination of the fair value of the Company’s
common stock. The valuation specialist utilized an income method approach to discern the equity value of the Company. The model
uses certain assumptions related to scenario weighting, revenue and expense projections, weighted average cost of capital and
lack of marketability discount.
We
identified auditing the valuation of the equity-based compensation as a critical audit matter due to the significant judgements
used by the Company in determining value of its common stock. Auditing the determination and valuation of the common stock involved
a high degree of auditor judgement, and specialized skills and knowledge were needed.
How
the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our
audit procedures included the following, among others:
●
We
evaluated the reasonableness and appropriateness of the choice of valuation methodology and model used for valuing the common
stock.
●
We
tested the reasonableness of the assumptions used by the third-party specialist and the Company in the valuation model, including
scenario weighting, revenue and expense projections and discount rates.
●
We
tested the accuracy and completeness of data used in developing the assumptions used in the valuation models.
●
We
developed an independent expectation for comparison to the Company’s estimates, which included developing our own discount
rates.
●
We
evaluated the knowledge, skill and ability of the third-party specialist and the specialist’s independence in relation
to the Company.
●
We
evaluated the accuracy and completeness of the Company’s presentation of these instruments in the financial statements
and related disclosures, including evaluating whether such disclosures were in accordance with relevant accounting standards.
●
Professionals
with specialized skill and knowledge were utilized by the Firm to assist in the evaluation of the valuation models deployed
by management.

ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
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
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.
Subsequent
to March 31, 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.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Estimates,
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents, For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers all highly-liquid debt instruments purchased with
an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Basic
and Diluted Net 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 years ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, because
to do so would be anti-dilutive. Potentially dilutive securities outstanding as of March 31, 2021 and 2020 include warrants convertible
into 3,488,754 and 1,702,000 shares of common stock, respectively.
Stock
Based Compensation , The Company measures stock-based compensation expense related to employee stock-based awards based on the estimated
fair value of the awards as determined on the date of grant and is recognized as expense over the remaining requisite service period.
The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock options issued as compensation. The Black-Scholes
model requires the input of highly subjective and complex assumptions, including the estimated fair value of the Company’s common
stock on the date of grant, the expected term of the stock option, and the expected volatility of the Company’s common stock over
the period equal to the expected term of the grant. The Company estimates forfeitures at the date of grant and revises the estimates,
if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.
Income
Taxes, The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes”. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities
are determined based upon differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using
the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Accounting standards require the
consideration of a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets if it is “more likely than not” that some component or all
of the benefits of deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The
tax effects from an uncertain tax position can be recognized in the financial statements only if the position is more likely than not
of being sustained if the position were to be challenged by a taxing authority. The Company has examined the tax positions taken in its
tax returns and determined that there are no uncertain tax positions. As a result, the Company has recorded no uncertain tax liabilities
in its balance sheet. Interest and penalties for uncertain positions, when applicable, would be recognized as a component of income tax
expense.
The
Company files United States Federal and State income tax returns. The income tax returns of the Company are subject to examination by
taxing authorities for three to five years from the date they are filed. The Company has tax returns subject to examination for 2015-2020.
Principles
of Consolidation, The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary. The subsidiary is
wholly owned. All intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Fair
Value, As defined by ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”), fair value is
the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants
at the measurement date. ASC 820 also requires the consideration of differing levels of inputs in the determination of fair values.
Those
levels of input are summarized as follows:
●
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
●
Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices, such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted
prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant
assumptions are observable in the market.
●
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments
whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques as well as instruments for
which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.
The
level in the fair value hierarchy within which a fair value measurement in its entirety falls is based on the lowest level input that
is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
The
Company did not have any transfers of assets and liabilities between Levels 1, 2 and 3 of the fair value measurement hierarchy during
the years ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.
The
Company’s recorded values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values
based on their short-term nature. The recorded values of the Notes Payable, Related Parties and Convertible Debenture approximates the
fair values as the interest rate approximates market interest rates.
(3)
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Adopted
During the Year Ended March 31, 2021
In
June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. ASU 2016-13 requires entities to report “expected”
credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit rather than the current “incurred loss” model.
These expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date are to be based on historical experience, current conditions,
and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This ASU will also require enhanced disclosures relating to significant estimates and judgments
used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality. The amendments are effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning
April 1, 2020, including interim periods within that fiscal year. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the consolidated
financial statements because the Company does not hold financial instruments subject to credit losses.
Not
Yet Adopted
The
Company has reviewed all other 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.
(4)
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash
and cash equivalents consist principally of currency on hand and demand deposits at commercial banks. The Company had $21,179 and $28,784
in cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2021, and 2020, respectively. The Company maintains non-interest-bearing accounts at one
financial institution. The accounts at this institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $250,000.

STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Common
Stock
Effective
December 6, 2018, three existing stockholders have contributed to the Company a portion of their common shares held at a repurchase price
to the Company of $0.05 per share. The Company has cancelled the acquired shares, which decreased the outstanding common shares on the
books of the Company. The total number of common shares canceled/retired was 8,000,000. The total liability related to the repurchase
of these shares is $400,000, with repayment contingent on a major financing event.
During
August 2020, the Company awarded members of the Board of Directors a total of 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, in
lieu of director cash 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 grant. As of March 31, 2021, all grant shares were 100% vested. Using a fair value stock price of
$0.0223 per share, the transaction resulted in a compensation expense of $33,450, which was fully recognized during the year ended March
31, 2021.
On
October 5, 2020, the Company granted one of its consultants 280,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for services
performed. The shares vested upon issuance, and the Company is under no obligation to register the restricted shares. Using a fair value
stock price of $0.0223 per share, the transaction resulted in a consulting expense of $6,244, which was fully recognized during
the year ended March 31, 2021.
On
November 10, 2020, the Company issued a private placement memorandum offering to raise up to $1,000,000 through the issuance of restricted
shares of the Company’s common stock (par value $0.001) to qualified investors. As of March 31, 2021, the Company had received
subscription agreements from related parties, which are family members and business associates of a significant stockholder for 500,000
common shares at a purchase price of $1 per share, with proceeds to the Company totaling $500,000.
Warrants
to Purchase Common Stock
Effective
April 3, 2020, the related party, note payable and line of credit agreement with the Chairman of the Board of Directors and a stockholder
(see Note 6) was amended to include a formal provision that provides the related party lender with common stock warrants upon the lenders
extension of a maturity due date or upon the loaning of additional monies. The number of warrants issued will be 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). Effective April 3, 2020, the number of warrants to be
issued upon the loaning of additional monies is 2 warrants for each dollar loaned.
In
addition, Mr. Dickman, the holder of the related party, unsecured promissory notes (see Note 6) has informed the Company that, at such
time the Company requests either an extension or additional monies from the lender, in addition to interest, the lender will require
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.
On
October 1, 2020, the related party, note payable and line of credit agreement with Radiant Life, LLC, an entity partially owned by the
Chairman of the Board of Directors (see Note 6) was amended to include a formal provision that provides the related party lender with
common stock warrants upon the lenders extension of a maturity due date or upon the loaning of additional monies. The number of warrants
issued will be 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). In addition,
the number of warrants to be issued upon the loaning of additional monies is 2 warrants for each dollar loaned. In this amendment, the
due date was extended from August 31, 2021 to November 30, 2022 or at the immediate time when alternative financing or other proceeds
are received. As per the provision outlined above, and in conjunction with the extension of the due date of the agreement, the Company
also agreed to provide the Radiant Life, LLC with warrants for 579,754 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.05 per share.
The warrants have a 5-year exercise window from the date of the extension agreement.

OTHER DEBT
On
April 20, 2020, the Company received funding under a Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loan (the “PPP Loan”)
from CCBank (the “Lender”). The principal amount of the PPP Loan was $26,458. The PPP was established under the Coronavirus
Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) and is administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (the
“SBA”). The PPP Loan has a two-year term, maturing on April 20, 2022. The interest rate on the PPP Loan is 1.0% per annum.
Principal and interest are payable in monthly installments, beginning on November 20, 2020, until maturity with respect to any portion
of the PPP Loan which is not forgiven as described below. The Company did not provide any collateral or guarantees for the PPP Loan,
nor did the Company pay any facility charge to obtain the PPP Loan. The PPP Loan provides for customary events of default, including,
among others, those relating to failure to make payment, bankruptcy, breaches of representations and material adverse effects. The PPP
Loan could be partially or fully forgiven if the Company complied with the provisions of the CARES Act, including the use of PPP Loan
proceeds for payroll costs, rent, utilities and other expenses, provided that such amounts are incurred during a 24-week period that
commenced on April 20, 2020, and at least 60% of any forgiven amount had been used for covered payroll costs as defined by the CARES
Act.
On
December 9, 2020, the Company received notice that the full PPP Loan amount of $26,458 had been forgiven. As such, the Company recorded
$26,458 of Gain on Extinguishment of Debt on its Statement of Operations for the year ended March

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 March 31, 2021, the Company had $21,179 of cash
assets, compared to $28,784 as of March 31, 2020. As of March 31, 2021, the Company had access to draw an additional $4,814,192 on the
notes payable, related party (see Note 6) and $3,000,000 on the Convertible Debenture Agreement (See Note 7). For the year ended March
31, 2021, the Company’s average monthly operating expenses were approximately $75,000, 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 $75,000 to decrease by approximately $10,000 over the next 12 months, resulting in ongoing, average monthly
expenses of approximately $65,000. 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 $422,751 and $110,000 were incurred during the years ended March 31,
2021, and 2020, respectively. As management continues to explore additional financing alternatives, beginning April 1, 2021 the Company
is expected to spend up to an additional $400,000 on these efforts. Outstanding Accounts Payable as of March 31, 2021 totaled $893,674.
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
June 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
recent outbreak of COVID-19 originated in Wuhan, China, in December 2019 and has since spread to multiple countries, including the United
States and several European countries. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak a pandemic. The COVID-19
pandemic is affecting the United States and global economies and may affect the Company’s operations and those of third parties
on which the Company relies. While the potential economic impact brought by, and the duration of, the COVID-19 pandemic is difficult
to assess or predict, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global financial markets may reduce the Company’s ability to access
capital, which could negatively impact the Company’s short-term and long-term liquidity. The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic
is highly uncertain and subject to change. The Company does not yet know the full extent of potential delays or impacts on its business,
financing or other activities or on healthcare systems or the global economy as a whole. However, these effects could have a material
impact on the Company’s liquidity, capital resources, operations and business and those of the third parties on which we rely.
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis under which the Company is expected to be able to realize
its assets and satisfy its liabilities in the normal course of business.

INCOME TAXES
The
Company provides for income taxes under ASC 740, Income Taxes. ASC 740 requires the use of an asset and liability approach in accounting
for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases
of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect when these differences are expected to reverse.
The
Company recorded no provision for income taxes for the years ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.
The
income tax provision differs from the amount of income tax determined by applying the U.S. federal tax rate of 21% to pretax income from
continuing operations for the years ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, due to the following:

The
Company assesses the need for a valuation allowance against its deferred income tax assets at March 31, 2021. Factors considered in this
assessment include recent and expected future earnings and the Company’s liquidity and equity positions. During the year ended
March 31, 2018, the underlying policies related to the Company’s NIBs were subject to foreclosure (see Note 1). As a result, the
Company has placed a 100% valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets. The deferred tax assets primarily relate to net operating loss
carryforwards.
As
of March 31, 2021, the Company has U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards of $27,893,903. These carry forwards are available to
offset future taxable income, if any, and begin to expire in 2021. The utilization of the net operating loss carry forwards is dependent
upon the tax laws in effect at the time the net operating loss carry forwards can be utilized and may be significantly limited based
on ownership changes within the meaning of section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.
Under
FASB ASC 740-10-05-6, tax benefits are recognized only for the tax positions that are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination
by tax authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely to be realized
upon ultimate settlement. Unrecognized tax benefits are tax benefits claimed in the company’s tax return that do not meet these
recognition and measurement standards.
The
Company had no liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits and the Company has recorded no additional interest or penalties.

awards vested 25% on the date of grant and the remainder of the shares vested equally over the three months following the date grant.
Using a fair value stock price of $0.062 per share, the transaction resulted in a compensation expense of $73,200, which is to be recognized
according to the vesting schedule outlined above.
