NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2016

Note 1 – Description of Business

FFIN Securities, Inc. (“FFIN”) was incorporated in the state of Nevada on August 25, 2014, for the purpose of primarily serving brokerage clients referred from foreign brokerage firms under common ownership as part of a strategy to provide foreign customers with access to the U.S. securities markets. FFIN is currently determining whether to submit a new application to become a member of Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) and a licensed securities broker-dealer with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

BMB Munai, Inc. (“BMBM”) is a Nevada corporation that originally incorporated in the state of Utah in 1981. From 2003 to 2011, BMBM’s business activities focused on oil and natural gas exploration and production in the Republic of Kazakhstan through its then wholly-owned subsidiary Emir Oil LLP (“Emir Oil”). In September 2011, BMBM sold all of its interest in Emir Oil, including its right, title, and interest in and to the oil and gas licenses and licensed territory owned by Emir Oil, to an independent third party for cash of about $170 million. The proceeds of the sale were used to, among other things, repay outstanding obligations, satisfy certain post-closing undertakings, meet ongoing expenses, and make two separate cash distributions totaling approximately $74,750,000 to its stockholders.

On November 23, 2015, BMBM entered into a Share Exchange and Acquisition Agreement with Timur Turlov (the “Acquisition Agreement”) with the intent to build an international, broadly based brokerage and financial services firm to meet the growing demand from an increasing number of investors in Russia and Kazakhstan for access to the financial opportunities, relative stability, and comprehensive regulatory reputation of the U.S. securities markets.

Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, BMBM acquired all of the issued and outstanding common stock of FFIN from Mr. Turlov in exchange for 224,551,913 shares of BMBM common stock, which constituted approximately 80.1% of BMBM’s outstanding common stock after giving effect to the transaction. BMBM and its wholly-owned subsidiary FFIN are collectively referred to herein as the “Company” unless otherwise specifically indicated or as is otherwise contextually required.

The Acquisition Agreement also provides, subject to the satisfaction of various closing conditions, for the possible acquisition by the Company of Mr. Turlov’s 100% equity interests in Investment Company Freedom Finance LLC, a Russian limited company (“Freedom RU”), and the securities brokerage, financial services and banking business conducted by it in Russia, and its wholly owned subsidiary, Freedom Finance JSC, a Kazakhstan joint stock company (“Freedom KZ”), and the securities brokerage and financial services business conducted by it in Kazakhstan, and FFINEU Investments Limited, a Cyprus limited company (“Freedom CY”) and the securities brokerage and financial services business conducted by Freedom CY. Freedom RU, Freedom KZ, and Freedom CY and the businesses conducted by each of them, in each case, are collectively referred to herein as the “Freedom Companies” unless otherwise specifically indicated or as is otherwise contextually required. The acquisition of the Freedom Companies is not contingent upon FFIN’s decision to pursue licensure to operate as a broker-dealer in the U.S. or whether FFIN is ultimately successful in becoming a U.S. registered broker-dealer.

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business one year from February 14, 2017. The Company currently has no revenue generating activities and has incurred losses since inception, resulting in an accumulated deficit of $1,065,861 as of December 31, 2016. Until the Company closes the acquisition of at least one of the Freedom Companies, or elects to and is successful in obtaining regulatory approval and commence operations as a licensed broker/dealer in the United States, further losses are anticipated. This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company closing the acquisition of at least one of the Freedom Companies, which the Company believes will lead to generating profitable operations in the future and/or obtaining the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with existing cash on hand, capital contributions from Mr. Turlov and/or a private placement of Company common stock. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to raise any capital through any type of offering or to receive additional capital contributions from Mr. Turlov.

As a result of the closing of the acquisition of FFIN, Mr. Turlov was issued approximately 80.1% of the outstanding common stock of BMBM after giving effect to the transaction. He was also appointed as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the board of directors. The Company has determined to treat the acquisition of FFIN as a reverse merger and recapitalization, with FFIN as the acquirer for accounting purposes. Consequently, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that are reflected in the Company's financial statements are those of FFIN. These financial statements are presented as a continuation of FFIN. The equity of FFIN is presented as the equity of the combined company and the capital stock account of FFIN is adjusted to reflect the par value of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company, being the legal acquirer, after giving effect to the number of shares issued in connection with the acquisition of FFIN.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2016

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The Company’s consolidated financial statements present the consolidated results of FFIN Securities, Inc., including the results of its parent, BMB Munai, Inc., starting November 24, 2015. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated from the consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Principles

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, they are condensed and do not include all of the information and notes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair and comparable presentation have been included and are of a normal recurring nature. The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s most recent audited annual financial statements included in its annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on July 14, 2016. Operating results for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2016, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending March 31, 2017.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management believes that the estimates utilized in preparing its financial statements are reasonable and prudent. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue and Expense Recognition

Subject to compliance with regulatory requirements and the commencement of securities broker-dealer activities, revenues and expenses from all securities transactions will be recorded on the trade date of the transaction. The Company does not participate in any proprietary securities transactions. For the nine months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had not yet established an ongoing source of revenue sufficient to cover its operating costs as it determines whether to continue to pursue the application and licensure process to become a registered broker-dealer in the United States.

BMB MUNAI, INC.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2016

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents are generally comprised of certain highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase.

Fixed Assets

Fixed assets are carried at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Maintenance, repairs, and minor renewals are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range between three and seven years.

Advertising Expense

For the nine months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company has had no expenses related to advertising. The Company does not anticipate engaging in any advertising activities in the United States for brokerage services until licensure is applied for and regulatory approval is received. At that point all costs associated with advertising will be expensed in the period incurred.

Impairment of Long Lived Assets

In accordance with the accounting guidance for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, the Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used when events and circumstances warrant such a review. The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired when the anticipated undiscounted cash flow from such asset is less than its carrying value. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the long-lived asset. Fair value is determined primarily using the anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved. Losses on long-lived assets to be disposed of are determined in a similar manner, except that fair values are reduced for the cost of disposal. As of December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2016, the Company had not recorded any charges for impairment of long-lived assets.

Income Taxes

The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets based on the difference between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by the amount of any tax benefits that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized.

BMB MUNAI, INC.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2016

Income tax expense differs from amounts that would be calculated by applying the federal statutory rate because of the federal surtax, state income tax rates, certain nondeductible expenses, and net operating loss carrybacks, if any.

The Company will include interest and penalties arising from the underpayment of income taxes in the statement of operations in the provision for income taxes. As of December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2016, the Company had no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. Tax years that remain subject to examination are years 2012 forward.

Financial Instruments

Financial instruments include employee receivables, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, and accrued expenses. Management estimates that the carrying amount of these financial instruments represents their fair values, which were determined by their near term nature or by comparable financial instruments’ market value.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” Revenue is an important number to users of financial statements in assessing an entity’s financial performance and position. Previous revenue recognition guidance in US GAAP comprised broad revenue recognition concepts together with numerous revenue requirements for particular industries or transactions, which sometimes resulted in different accounting for economically similar transactions. Accordingly, the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) initiated a joint project to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue and to develop a common revenue standard for US GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) that would:

Remove inconsistencies and weaknesses in revenue requirements.

Provide a more robust framework for addressing revenue issues.

Improve comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions, and capital markets.

Provide more useful information to users of financial statements through improved disclosure requirements.

Simplify the preparation of financial statements by reducing the number of requirements to which an entity must refer.

BMB MUNAI, INC.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2016

To meet these objectives, the FASB is amending the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) and creating a new Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” The Company will be evaluating the impact of ASU 2014-09 as it pertains to the Company’s financial statements and other required disclosures on an ongoing basis until its eventual adoption and incorporation.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.” The amendments in this update define management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an organization’s ability to continue as a going concern and provides related footnote disclosure requirements. Under US GAAP, financial statements are prepared under the presumption that the reporting organization will continue to operate as a going concern, except in limited circumstances. Financial reporting under this presumption is commonly referred to as the going concern basis of accounting. The going concern basis of accounting establishes the fundamental basis for measuring and classifying assets and liabilities. This update provides guidance on when there is substantial doubt about an organization’s ability to continue as a going concern and how the underlying conditions and events should be disclosed in the footnotes. It is intended to reduce diversity that existed in footnote disclosures because of the lack of guidance about when substantial doubt existed. The amendments in this update are effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2017. Early application is permitted. The Company adopted this standard during the period ended December 31, 2016, applying it prospectively. Adoption of this amendment did not have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes.” This new guidance requires that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. The current requirement that deferred tax liabilities and assets of a tax-paying component of an entity be offset and presented as a single amount is not affected by the new guidance. The new guidance is effective for the Company on April 1, 2017, with early adoption permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The new guidance may be applied either prospectively to all deferred tax liabilities and assets or retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company is evaluating the impact that the new guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, “Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” This ASU requires entities to measure equity investments that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under the equity method at fair value and recognize any changes in fair value in net income unless the investments qualify for the new practicability exception. Entities will also have to record changes in instrument-specific credit risk for financial liabilities measured under the fair value option in other comprehensive income. In addition, entities will be required to present enhanced disclosures of financial assets and financial liabilities. The guidance is effective beginning January 1, 2018, with early adoption of certain provisions of the ASU permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

BMB MUNAI, INC.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2016

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” This ASU requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and lease liability for all leases with terms of more than 12 months. Recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses will depend on classification as a finance or operating lease. The amendments also require certain quantitative and qualitative disclosures. Accounting guidance for lessors is largely unchanged. The guidance is effective beginning January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Restricted Cash.” This ASU requires require that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows.

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contain additional information that should be referred to when reviewing this material and this document 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 U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including our annual report on Form 10-K filed on July 14, 2016.

Throughout this report, unless otherwise indicated by the context, references herein to “we,” our,” and “us” mean BMB Munai, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and our subsidiaries and predecessors.

Special Note About Forward-Looking Information

Certain information included herein contains statements that may be considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) such as statements relating to our anticipated revenues, estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements, future performance and operations, capital spending, sources of liquidity, and financing sources. Forward-looking information involves important risks and uncertainties that could significantly affect anticipated results in the future, and accordingly, such results may differ from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made herein. These forward-looking statements can sometimes be recognized by the use of words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “project”, “plan,” and similar expressions. Such statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors, including the meaningful and important risks and uncertainties discussed in this report. These forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of management as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to management. These statements include, among other things:

●

the ability of our acquisition targets to obtain necessary regulatory approvals to maintain their foreign licensing in connection with the transfer of ownership from the current owner to us;

●

the ability of our acquisition targets to prepare required financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting standards (GAAS) and generally accepted accounting practices in the United States (US GAAP);

●

our ability to obtain funding while we continue to work to close the acquisitions and pursue revenue generating activities;

●

the determination of our subsidiary whether to pursue FINRA membership and licensure with the SEC and state securities authorities to transact business as a registered securities broker-dealer in the United States;

●

our ability to launch operations as a fully functioning securities broker-dealer able to serve our proposed customers;

●

our ability to attract and retain key management and other properly licensed and experienced personnel to satisfy applicable regulatory standards;

●

our financial performance, including our limited operating history;

●

possible lack of interest by foreign investors to invest in securities of U.S. publicly traded companies; and

●

our ability to comply with the extensive and pervasive regulatory requirements in the various jurisdictions where we may operate.

Although we have attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially, there may be other factors that cause the forward-looking statements not to come true as described in this report. These forward-looking statements are only predictions. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially.

You should not rely on forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. While we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance and achievements. Moreover, neither we nor any other person assumes any responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of these statements or undertakes any obligation to revise these forward-looking statements to reflect events and circumstances after the date of this report or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Overview

As discussed in Note 1 – Description of Business of the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements accompanying this report, on November 23, 2015, we entered into the Acquisition Agreement pursuant to which we acquired all of the issued and outstanding common stock of FFIN Securities, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“FFIN”) from Timur Turlov in exchange for 224,551,913 shares of our common stock, which comprised approximately 80.1% of our outstanding common stock after giving effect to the transaction. We entered into the Acquisition Agreement with the intent to build an international, broadly based brokerage and financial services firm to meet the growing demand from an increasing number of investors in Russia and Kazakhstan for access to the financial opportunities, relative stability, and comprehensive regulatory reputation of the U.S. securities markets.

The Acquisition Agreement provides, subject to the satisfaction of various closing conditions, for the possible acquisition by us of Mr. Turlov’s 100% equity interests in Investment Company Freedom Finance LLC, a Russian limited company (“Freedom RU”), Freedom RU’s wholly owned subsidiary, Freedom Finance JSC, a Kazakhstan joint stock company (“Freedom KZ”), FFINEU Investments Limited, a Cyprus limited company (“Freedom CY”) (collectively, the “Freedom Companies”), and the securities brokerage, financial services and banking businesses conducted by them. We believe the Freedom Companies serve an emerging capitalistic and investing segment of the economies of Russia and Kazakhstan that is interested in saving, investing, and diversifying risk through foreign investment. Under the existing regulatory regimes in Russia and Kazakhstan, Freedom RU and Freedom KZ are limited in their ability to grant their customers access to the U.S. securities markets.

Mr. Turlov is seeking a more sustainable, long-term strategy to allow his customer base in Russia and Kazakhstan to participate in the U.S. markets because of what he perceives to be the growing disfavor of omnibus clearing accounts for foreign financial institutions among regulators and U.S. financial institutions as well as customer concerns that the Freedom Companies expose them to attendant political, regulatory, currency, banking, and economic risks and uncertainties in their respective countries of operation. To meet this perceived need, Mr. Turlov organized FFIN in August 2014, to serve primarily foreign clients referred from Freedom RU and Freedom KZ as part of a strategy to provide foreign customers with access to the U.S. securities markets within a single vertically integrated financial services firm.

FFIN is currently determining whether to submit a new application to FINRA to become a FINRA member and to become a licensed securities broker-dealer with the SEC and the appropriate timing to make a new application if one is submitted. If FFIN determines to apply for broker-dealer registration, it would also be required to comply with the state securities licensure requirements.

We continue to work toward successful completion of the acquisition of Freedom RU, and its wholly-owned subsidiary Freedom KZ, and Freedom CY. The acquisition of Freedom RU and Freedom CY are separate transactions that are not interdependent, so we may acquire either, both or none of such companies. The acquisition of the Freedom Companies is also not contingent upon FFIN’s decision whether to pursue licensure to operate as a broker-dealer in the U.S., or whether FFIN is ultimately successful in becoming a U.S. registered broker-dealer in the event it elects to pursue such licensure. In the event FFIN elects not to pursue licensure, or if it is ultimately unsuccessful in obtaining licensure if pursued, we anticipate the Freedom Companies would continue to provide their clients access to the U.S. markets in the same manner they do currently.

The completion of the acquisition of Freedom RU and Freedom CY is dependent on the express conditions that:

(i)

the particular Freedom Company to be acquired completes and provides to us audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP and GAAS, so that we can include such audited financial statements in our periodic reports filed with the SEC;

(ii)

the particular Freedom Company to be acquired has received all required governmental and regulatory approvals for the change of ownership from its current ownership to us; and

(iii)

if, at the time of the proposed closing, we do not have sufficient authorized but unissued shares to issue the number of shares as we agreed in the Acquisition Agreement, we will effect a recapitalization consisting of: (i) a reverse split of our outstanding common stock in such amount as our board of directors may determine; and (ii) a possible increase in the number of our authorized common stock in such amount as our board may determine.

Completion of each acquisition is also conditioned on the continuing accuracy of the representations and warranties of the respective parties to the Acquisition Agreement, and the satisfaction of certain conditions and other covenants, many of which may be waived by either party.

The Acquisition Agreement provides that we may abandon the acquisition of either Freedom RU or Freedom CY if satisfaction of any of the closing conditions by December 31, 2016, or such later date as the parties agree, becomes impossible. We do not believe the closing conditions are currently impossible to satisfy and we continue to work with Freedom RU and Freedom CY to close. The Acquisition Agreement does not grant to us any right or remedy to rescind our acquisition of FFIN if we do not complete the acquisition of the Freedom Companies because of their failure to provide required audited financial statements, to obtain required governmental approvals to effect transfer to us, or to meet other pre-closing conditions.

Results of Operations

This discussion summarizes the significant factors affecting our results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity and capital resources during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements accompanying this report.

Three months ended December 31, 2016, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2015.

Revenue

We did not generate any revenue during the three months ended December 31, 2016 or 2015.

Expenses

Operating Expenses . During the three months ended December 31, 2016, operating expenses totaled $100,463 compared to operating expenses of $102,595 during three months ended December 31, 2015. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $17,284 decrease in general and administrative expenses, due to lower payroll and general office expenses, which was partially offset by a $15,110 increase in professional fees due to additional accounting and audit services.

Loss from Operations . During the three months ended December 31, 2016, we recognized a loss from operations of $100,463, compared to a loss from operations of $102,595 during the three months ended December 31, 2015. This decrease in loss from operations during the three months ended December 31, 2016, resulted because decreases in general and administrative expenses outpaced increases in professional fees, as described above.

Total Other Income . During the three months ended December 31, 2016, we recognized total other income of $995, compared to total other income of $575 during the three months ended December 31, 2015. The increase resulted from higher interest income on our cash balances.

Net Loss . For the reasons discussed above, during the three months ended December 31, 2016, we realized a net loss of $99,468 compared to a net loss of $104,908 for the three months ended December 31, 2015. Because we have no revenue, we expect to continue to realize net losses in upcoming fiscal periods until we are able to complete the acquisitions of the Freedom Companies or otherwise start generating revenue from our planned business activities.

Nine months ended December 31, 2016, compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2015.

Revenue

We did not generate any revenue during the nine months ended December 31, 2016 or 2015.

Expenses

Operating Expenses . During the nine months ended December 31, 2016, operating expenses totaled $438,199 compared to operating expenses of $386,558 during nine months ended December 31, 2015. The increase was primarily attributable to a $58,628 increase in professional fees resulting from increased legal and audit fees in connection with the transactions contemplated in the Acquisition Agreement, this was partially offset by a $7,030 decrease in general and administrative expenses, due to lower payroll and general office expenses.

Loss from Operations . During the nine months ended December 31, 2016, we recognized a loss from operations of $438,199, compared to a loss from operations of $386,558 during the nine months ended December 31, 2015, for the reasons described in the preceding paragraph.

Total Other Income . During the nine months ended December 31, 2016, we recognized total other income of $2,971, compared to total other income of $618 during the nine months ended December 31, 2015. The increase resulted from higher interest income on our cash balances.

Net Loss . For the reasons discussed above, during the nine months ended December 31, 2016, we realized a net loss of $435,228 compared to a net loss of $389,233 for the nine months ended December 31, 2015. Because we have no revenue, we expect to continue to realize net losses in upcoming fiscal periods until we close the acquisitions of the Freedom Companies or otherwise start generating revenue from our planned business activities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal source of liquidity during the nine months ended December 31, 2016, was principally capital contributions from Mr. Turlov. As of December 31, 2016, we had cash and cash equivalents of $13,586, compared to cash and cash equivalents of $99,678, at March 31, 2016. At December 31, 2016, we had total current assets (less restricted cash) of $14,521, and total current liabilities (less deferred distribution payment) of $147,517, resulting in a working capital deficit of $132,996.

Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon, among other things, our ability to generate revenues. We are currently generating net losses and we do not anticipate generating revenue until (i) the closing conditions necessary to complete the acquisitions of some or all of the Freedom Companies are satisfied and the acquisitions are completed, (ii) FFIN determines to pursue FINRA membership and successfully satisfies the regulatory requirements to operate as a securities broker-dealer in the United States and commences business operations, or (iii) we elect to and are successful in pursuing other business opportunities. We cannot assure that the closing conditions necessary to complete the acquisitions of some or all of the Freedom Companies will be satisfied and the acquisitions completed, that FFIN will elect to pursue and be successful in satisfying the regulatory requirements to commence operations as a securities broker-dealer in the United States, or that we will elect to pursue or be successful in pursuing some other business opportunity.

If our existing cash assets are insufficient to satisfy our expenses as we continue our efforts, we may need to seek additional funding. For the nine months ended December 31, 2016, Mr. Turlov had provided capital contributions to us totaling $200,000, and in January 2017, Mr. Turlov provided us an additional capital contribution of $70,000. Mr. Turlov is under no obligation to provide additional funding to us, and we currently have no guarantee additional funding will be available to us, or if it is, that such funding will be available to us on acceptable terms. Uncertainty as to the outcome of these factors raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Cash Flows

During the nine months ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, cash was primarily used to pay for current expenses. See below for additional discussion and analysis of cash flow.

	Nine months ended December 31, 2016	Nine months ended December 31, 2015

Net cash used in operating activities	$ (286,092 )	$ (403,757 )
Net cash from investing activities	-	8,586,624
Net cash provided by financing activities	200,000	50,000

NET CHANGE IN CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS	$ (86,092 )	$ 8,232,867

Net cash used in operating activities during the nine months ended December 31, 2016, was lower compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2015, primarily as a result of a $49,440 decrease in prepaid expenses and $95,597 increase in accounts payable, which was partially offset by a $45,995 increase in net loss.

During the nine months ended December 31, 2015, i nvesting activities provided $8,586,624, as a result of cash acquired in connection with the Acquisition Agreement. Of this amount, $8,533,566 is held as restricted cash for distribution to shareholders who have not yet claimed their distributions pursuant to the first and second stockholder distributions as reflected in the table of Contractual Obligations and Contingencies below. During the nine months ended December 31, 2016, we realized no cash from investing activities.

During the nine months ended December 31, 2016, net cash provided by financing activities was $200,000 compared to $50,000 during the nine months ended December 31, 2015. All funds provided by financing activities resulted from capital contributions to the Company by Mr. Turlov.

Contractual Obligations and Contingencies

See Note 7 - Commitments and Contingent Liabilities for information regarding our significant contractual obligations and contingencies at December 31, 2016.

Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements

As of December 31, 2016, we had no off-balance sheet financing arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policy and Estimates

We believe that the following accounting policies are the most critical to aid you in fully understanding and evaluating this “Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Item 3. Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Because we are a smaller reporting company we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of December 31, 2016, our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures under the 2013 framework of the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report in timely alerting them to information required to be included in the Company’s periodic filings with the Commission.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended December 31, 2016, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
