SUNDANCE STRATEGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

December 31, 2023

 

(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, 2023, which was filed with the SEC on June 29, 2023. The results from operations for the three- and nine-month period ended December 31, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows at December 31, 2023 and for all periods presented herein have been made.

 

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

 

Organization and Nature of Operations

 

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

 

Our historical business model has focused on purchasing or acquiring life insurance policies and residual interests in or financial products tied to life insurance policies, including notes, drafts, acceptances, open accounts receivable and other obligations representing part 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.

During the latter part of the year ended March 31, 2021, 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.

 

On January 1, 2022, the Company entered into a marketing and consulting agreement with Tradability, LLC (“Consultant”) that requires an initial $100,000 payment and up to an additional $400,000 in the future (which will be financed by the Consultant via a promissory note). The $400,000 obligation is contingent upon the Consultant and the Company successfully reaching certain milestones. Further, the agreement requires the Company to issue between 1,000,000 and 10,000,000 stock options (which are exercisable into our common stock at prices between $1.00 to $2.50 per share) contingent upon the Consultant and the Company successfully reaching certain milestones. The milestones primarily relate to the Consultant finalizing the tokenization of 500 million non-fungible tokens (“NFTs”) and the successful placement of NFTs with proceeds of between $100 million and $500 million. The proceeds will be used to purchase Life Settlements for which the Company will be an advisor. As of February 14, 2024, none of the milestones related to the potential issuance of equity have been met. Management does not expect any of these milestones to be met in the next 12 months.

 

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 nine months ended December 31, 2023, or 2022, because to do so would be anti-dilutive. Potentially dilutive securities outstanding as of December 31, 2023, and 2022, are comprised of warrants convertible into 12,008,544 and 7,250,241 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 December 31, 2023, the Company had $556,240 of cash assets, compared to $553 as of March 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had access to draw an additional $4,265,942 on the notes payable, related party (see Note 6) and $3,000,000 on the Convertible Debenture Agreement (See Note 7). For the nine months ended December 31, 2023, the Company’s average monthly operating expenses were approximately $49,000, which includes salaries of the Company’s employee, consulting agreements and contract labor, general and administrative expenses and legal and accounting expenses. 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 $105,000 and $40,500 were incurred during the nine months ended December 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively. As management continues to explore additional financing alternatives, beginning January 1, 2024, the Company is expected to spend up to an additional $300,000 on these efforts. Outstanding Accounts Payable as of December 31, 2023, totaled $463,066. Management has concluded that its existing capital resources and availability under its existing debt agreements with related parties will be sufficient to fund its operating working capital requirements for at least the next 12 months from the issuance of these financial statements, or through February 2025. 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 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.

 

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 nine months ended December 31, 2023, and 2022.

 

The Company issues warrants from time to time (see Note 4), which fair value is calculated using Level 3 inputs.

 

9

 

 

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

 

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, of which 6,000,000 shares were owned by a related party to the Company. The total liability related to the repurchase of these shares is $400,000, with repayment to the related party stockholders contingent on a major financing event. $300,000 of the $400,000 liability is to a related party.

 

On August 15, 2023, the Company issued a private placement memorandum offering to raise up to $1,500,000 through the issuance of restricted shares of the Company’s common stock (par value $0.001) to qualified investors. On September 20, 2023, the Company received subscription agreements from an investor, for 200,000 shares of common stock in conjunction with a purchase of 400,000 warrants to purchase shares of common stock. The proceeds from this transaction were $400,000. On October 4, 2023, the Company received subscription agreements from three separate investors, for 650,000 shares of common stock in conjunction with a purchase of 1,300,000 warrants to purchase shares of common stock. The proceeds from this transaction were $650,000.

 

Warrants to Purchase Common Stock

 

The Company’s related party lenders consist of: Kraig Higginson, the Chairman of the Board of Directors and a stockholder, Radiant Life, LLC, and Mr. Dickman, a board member and stockholder. These holders of the related party unsecured promissory notes hold agreements that 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 vested immediately upon issuance, have an exercise price approximately equivalent to the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, and expire 5 years from the date of issuance.

 

During the nine months ended December 31, 2023, the Company issued 281,900 warrants to the Chairman of the Board of Directors in conjunction with monies borrowed during the period per the terms outlined above. The exercise price of these warrants was $1.05. The value of the warrants on the date of grant, as calculated by the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model was $258,354. The inputs used in this calculation included a fair value of the underlying common stock of $1.049 per share, a risk-free between 3.36% and 4.19%, volatility between 86.04% and 89.11% and a dividend rate of 0%.

 

During the nine months ended December 31, 2023, the Company issued 80,000 warrants to Radiant Life, LLC in conjunction with monies borrowed during the period per the terms outlined above. The exercise price of these warrants was $1.05. The value of the warrants on the date of grant, as calculated by the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model was $58,402. The inputs used in this calculation included a fair value of the underlying common stock of $1.049 per share, a risk-free between 4.04% and 4.29%, volatility between 85.03% and 86.44% and a dividend rate of 0%.

 

On June 5, 2023, the Company issued 543,000 warrants to Mr. Dickman in conjunction with an extension of the maturity dates during the period per the terms outlined above. The exercise price of these warrants was $1.05. The value of the warrants on the date of grant, as calculated by the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model was $523,451. The inputs used in this calculation included a fair value of the underlying common stock of $1.049 per share, a risk-free rate of 3.82%, volatility of 89.07% and a dividend rate of 0%.

 

Between September 20, 2023 and October 4, 2023, the Company issued 1,700,000 warrants to equity investors, which vested immediately, in conjunction with a purchase of 850,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The exercise price of these warrants was $0.35.

(5) NOTES PAYABLE

 

On April 6, 2021, the Company borrowed $300,000 under an unsecured promissory note with Satco International, Ltd.

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.”

 

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 uses 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.

 

During the latter part of the year ended March 31, 2021, 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.

On January 1, 2022, we entered into a marketing and consulting agreement with Tradability, LLC (“Consultant”) that requires us to make an initial $100,000 payment and up to an additional $400,000 in the future (which will be financed by the Consultant via a promissory note). The $400,000 obligation is contingent upon the Consultant and us successfully reaching certain milestones. Further, the agreement requires us to issue between 1,000,000 and 10,000,000 stock options (which are exercisable into our common stock at prices between $1.00 to $2.50 per share) contingent upon the Consultant and us successfully reaching certain milestones. The milestones primarily relate to the Consultant finalizing the tokenization of 500 million non-fungible tokens (“NFTs”) and the successful placement of NFTs with proceeds of between $100 million and $500 million. The proceeds will be used to purchase Life Settlements for which we will be an advisor. As of December 31, 2023, none of the milestones related to the potential issuance of equity have been met.

 

Results of Operations

 

Three-Months Ended December 31, 2023, Compared with Three-Months Ended December 31, 2022

 

Interest Income

 

Due to the Company not holding NIBs, no interest income was recorded for the three months ended December 31, 2023, or 2022.

 

General & Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses totaled $147,842, and $149,158 during the three months ended December 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively. A significant portion of these expenses were professional fees and payroll costs.

 

Other Income and Expenses

 

During the three months ended December 31, 2023, and 2022, interest expense accrued in the amount of $110,221 and $131,257, respectively. The decrease in interest expense was a result of a reduced amortization of debt discounts recognized during the three months.

 

For the three months ended December 31, 2023, and 2022, other expenses related to pursuing potential financing alternatives were $105,000 and $13,500, respectively. The increase in other expenses related to pursuing financing alternatives is explained by new consultant fees in pursuit of bonds.

 

Income Taxes

 

During the three months ended December 31, 2023, and 2022, the Company recorded net loss before income taxes of $363,063, and $671,851, respectively, and had no income tax expense or benefit as a result of a full valuation allowance on the net deferred tax asset.

 

Nine-Months Ended December 31, 2023, Compared with Nine-Months Ended December 31, 2022

 

Interest Income

 

Due to the Company not holding NIBs, no interest income was recorded for the nine months ended December 31, 2023, or 2022.

 

General & Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses totaled $371,839, and $524,649 during the nine months ended December 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively. A significant portion of these expenses were professional fees and payroll costs. The reduction in these expenses was primarily attributable to lower monthly fees from our contractors.

 

Other Income and Expenses

 

During the nine months ended December 31, 2023, and 2022, we recognized $398,920, and $377,936, as loss on extinguishment of debt in conjunction with related party debt, respectively.

 

15

 

 

During the nine months ended December 31, 2023, we negotiated a settlement to reduce our outstanding accounts payable to one of our vendors by $290,000. The gain was recorded as a gain on settlement of liabilities.

 

During the nine months ended December 31, 2023, and 2022, interest expense accrued in the amount of $316,480 and $281,303, respectively. The increase in interest expense was a result of higher loan balances, as well as additional amount of debt discount recognized during the nine months.

 

For the nine months ended December 31, 2023, and 2022, other expenses related to pursuing potential financing alternatives were $105,000 and $40,500, respectively. The increase in other expenses related to pursuing financing alternatives is explained by new consultant fees in pursuit of bonds.

 

Income Taxes

 

During the nine months ended December 31, 2023, and 2022, the Company recorded net loss before income taxes of $902,239, and $1,224,388, respectively, and had no income tax expense or benefit 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 parties and the issuance of convertible debentures. As of December 31, 2023, we had $556,240 of cash, compared to $553 as of March 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had access to draw an additional $4,265,942 on the notes payable, related party and $3,000,000 on the Convertible Debenture Agreement. Our monthly expenses are anticipated to be approximately $49,000, which includes salaries of our employee, policy servicing expenses, consulting agreements and contract labor, general and administrative expenses, estimated legal and accounting expenses. Outstanding Accounts Payable as of December 31, 2023, totaled $463,066, and other accrued liabilities totaled $1,728,774. 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 February 2025.

 

Debt

 

At December 31, 2023, we owed $5,118,287, including accrued interest, for debt obligations. We owed $3,340,058 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 December 31, 2023, one note payable had a principal balance of $50,000 due on November 30, 2025 because of a note extension subsequent to quarter end, and a line-of-credit to that same third party had a balance of $1,159,508 due on November 30, 2025 because of a note extension subsequent to quarter end, or when the Company completes a successful equity raise, at which time principal and interest is due in full. A line-of-credit to a second third party had a principal balance of $1,304,550 and is currently extended due on November 30, 2025 because of a note extension subsequent to quarter end. At December 31, 2023, unsecured promissory notes had principal balances totaling $826,000 and are due on November 30, 2025 because of a note extension subsequent to quarter end. The convertible debenture agreement, which has no principal balance due as of December 31, 2023, is open through November 30, 2024. As of February 14, 2024, there was $4,265,942 available under the lines-of-credit we currently have with related parties and $3,000,000 available under the 8% convertible debenture agreement.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

 

Not Applicable.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Limitation on the Effectiveness of Controls

 

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information, which is required to be disclosed timely, is accumulated and communicated to management in a timely fashion. In designing and evaluating such controls and procedures, we recognize that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Our management is necessarily required to use judgment in evaluating controls and procedures.

 

Evaluation of Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on that evaluation, our principal executive and principal financial officer has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by the Quarterly Report were not effective due to the lack of design and operating effectiveness of our control environment and risk assessment, control activities and monitoring activities relating to complex accounting matters relating to the valuation of equity-based compensation instruments as disclosed in Item 9A of our 10K filed on June 29, 2022.

 

Our principal executive and principal financial officer is in the process of performing a review of our processes and controls over complex accounting matters relating to the valuation of equity-based compensation instruments.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the second quarter of 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

To the best of our knowledge, there are no legal proceedings pending or threatened against us; and there are no actions pending or threatened against any of our directors or officers that are adverse to us.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

In addition to the other information set forth in this quarterly report on Form10-Q, you should carefully consider the risks discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2023, which risks could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results.

These risks are not the only risks facing our Company.
