( 1 )       Nature of business and summary of significant accounting policies
 
Nature of business - GWG Holdings, Inc. (Holdings) (previously GWG Holdings, LLC) and Subsidiaries, located in Minneapolis, Minnesota, facilitates the purchase of life insurance policies for its own investment portfolio through its wholly owned subsidiary, GWG Life Settlements, LLC (GWG Life), and its subsidiaries, GWG Trust, LLC (Trust), GWG DLP Funding II, LLC (DLP II) and its wholly owned subsidiary, GWG DLP Master Trust II (the Trust II). Holdings converted from a limited liability company into a corporation effective June 10, 2011 and as a result of this change all member units were converted into common stock.  Holdings finances the acquisition of life insurance policies, and pays policy premiums, through funds available on its line of credit and the issuance of debt and equity securities. GWG Member, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary formed November 2010 to facilitate the acquisition of policies, has not commenced operations as of September 30, 2013.  The entities were legally organized in Delaware and are collectively referred herein to as GWG, or the Company.

On July 11, 2011, the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with Athena Securities Group, LTD and Athena Structured Funds PLC. Under this agreement, Holdings issued to Athena Securities Group, LTD (Athena) 989,000 shares of common stock, which was equal to 9.9% of the outstanding shares in the Company, in exchange for shares equal to 9.9% of the outstanding shares in Athena Structured Funds, PLC (Athena Funds) and cash of $5,000. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 505-50, the Company recorded the share-based payment transaction with Athena at the fair value of the Company’s 989,000 shares of common stock issued as it was the most reliable measurable form of consideration in this exchange the total value ascribed to the common stock issued to Athena was $3.6 million. The $5,000 cash paid by Athena, which represents the fair value of the shares of Athena Funds, is included in financing activities of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
  
On June 28, 2013, GWG Holdings, Inc. entered into a new Purchase and Sale Agreement with Athena Securities Limited and Athena Securities Group Limited. The June 28, 2013 agreement terminated the parties’ original Purchase and Sale Agreement dated July 11, 2011. Under the new agreement, Holdings appointed Athena Securities Group Limited (i) as Holdings’ exclusive representative for the offer and sale of Holdings’ Renewable Secured Debentures in Ireland, and (ii) as a distributor for the offer and sale of those debentures in Europe and the Middle East, in each case until May 8, 2014. Any compensation payable to Athena Securities Group Limited will be in accordance with the compensation disclosures set forth in Holdings’ prospectus for the offering filed with the SEC on dated June 4, 2013, as the same may be supplemented or amended from time to time. In addition, the new agreement effected the sale by Athena Securities Limited to Holdings of 865,000 shares of Holdings’ common stock, and Holdings’ sale back to Athena Securities Group Limited of certain shares of GWG Securities International Public Limited Company (formerly known as Athena Structured Funds PLC) originally transacted under the original July 11, 2011 agreement. The Company recorded a non-cash gain on the transaction of $3,252,000.

Basis of presentation - The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012 and nine months ended September 30, 2013, and the related information presented in these notes, have been prepared by management in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X, without audit. To the extent that information and notes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements are contained in or are consistent with the consolidated audited financial statements in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, such information and notes have not been duplicated herein. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of results have been included. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2012 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Use of estimates - The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience, and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected. The most significant estimates with regard to these consolidated financial statements relates to (1) the determination of the assumptions used in estimating the fair value of the investment in life insurance policies, and (2) the value of deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Life settlements - ASC 325-30, Investments in Insurance Contracts, allows a reporting entity the election to account for its investments in life settlements using either the investment method or the fair value method. The election shall be made on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable. Under the investment method, an investor shall recognize the initial investment at the purchase price plus all initial direct costs. Continuing costs (policy premiums and direct external costs, if any) to keep the policy in force shall be capitalized. Under the fair value method, an investor shall recognize the initial investment at the purchase price. In subsequent periods, the investor shall re-measure the investment at fair value in its entirety at each reporting period and shall recognize the change in fair value in current period income net of premiums paid. The Company uses the fair value method to account for all life settlements.

The Company recognizes realized gains (revenue) from life settlement contracts upon one of the two following events:

1)       Receipt of death notice or verified obituary of insured
2)       Sale of policy and filing of change of ownership forms and receipt of payment

The Company recognizes the difference between the death benefits and carrying values of the policy when an insured event has occurred and the Company determines that settlement and ultimate collection of the death benefits is realizable and reasonably assured. Revenue from a transaction must meet both criteria in order to be recognized.  In an event of a sale of a policy the Company recognizes gain or loss as the difference between the sale price and the carrying value of the policy on the date of the receipt of payment on such sale.

Deposits and initial direct costs advanced on unsettled policy acquisitions are recorded as other assets until policy ownership has been transferred to the Company.  Such deposits and direct cost advances were $0 and $785,000 at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

Deferred financing and issuance costs - Financing costs incurred to obtain financing under the revolving credit facility, as described in note 6, have been capitalized and are amortized using the straight-line method (which approximated the interest method) over the term of the revolving credit facility.  Amortization of deferred financing costs was $89,000 and $58,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $365,000 and $175,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  The expected future amortization is $89,000 and $358,000 for the three months ending December 31, 2013 and the year ending December 31, 2014, respectively.  The Series I Secured notes payable, as described in note 7, are reported net of issuance costs, sales commissions and other direct expenses, which are amortized using the interest method over the term of each respective borrowing.  The Renewable Secured Debentures, as described in note 8, are reported net of issuance costs, sales commissions and other direct expenses, which are amortized using the interest method over the term of each respective borrowing.  The Series A preferred stock, as described in note 9, is reported net of issuance costs, sales commissions, including the fair value of warrants issued, and other direct expenses, which are amortized using the interest method as interest expense over the three-year redemption period.

Earnings (loss) per share - Basic per share earnings (loss) attributable to non-redeemable interests is calculated using the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per share is calculated based on the potential dilutive impact, if any, of the Company’s convertible, redeemable preferred stock, and outstanding warrants, and stock options.
 
Recently adopted pronouncements - In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS”, which amends disclosure requirements related to categorization within the fair value hierarchy. This update results in common principles and requirements for measuring fair value and disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The guidance became effective for the annual period beginning January 1, 2012. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Other pronouncements issued by the FASB or other authoritative accounting standards groups with future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to be significant to the Company.

( 2 )       Restrictions on cash
 
The Company is required by its lenders to maintain collection and escrow accounts. These accounts are used to pay annual premiums of insurance policies, pay interest and other charges under the revolving credit facility, and collect policy benefits. DZ Bank AG, as agent for Autobahn Funding Company, LLC, the lender for the revolving credit facility as described in note 6, authorizes the disbursements from these accounts. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 there was a balance of $3,510,000, and $2,093,000, respectively, maintained in these restricted cash accounts.

( 3 )       Investment in life insurance policies
 
The life insurance policies (Level 3 fair value measurements) are valued based on unobservable inputs that are significant to the overall fair value measurement. Changes in the fair value of these instruments are recorded in gain or loss on life insurance policies in the consolidated statements of operations (net of the cash premiums paid on the policies). The fair value is determined on a discounted cash flow basis that incorporates life expectancy assumptions.  Life expectancy reports have been obtained from widely accepted life expectancy estimate providers. The discount rate incorporates current information about market interest rates, the credit exposure to the insurance company that issued the life insurance policy and our estimate of the risk premium an investor in the policy would require. As a result of management’s analysis, discount rates of 11.77% and 12.08% were applied to the portfolio as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

A summary of the Company’s life insurance policies accounted for under the fair value method and their estimated maturity dates, based on remaining life expectancy estimates, is as follows:

Management anticipates funding the estimated premium payments as noted above with proceeds from the DZ Bank revolving credit facility and through additional debt and equity financing as well as from cash proceeds from maturities of life insurance policies. The proceeds of these capital sources are also intended to be used for the purchase, financing, and maintenance of additional life insurance policies.

( 4 )       Fair value definition and hierarchy
 
ASC 820 establishes a hierarchical disclosure framework which prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring assets and liabilities at fair value. Market price observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of investment, the characteristics specific to the investment and the state of the marketplace including the existence and transparency of transactions between market participants. Assets and liabilities with readily available active quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices in an orderly market generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
 
The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the observability of inputs as follows:
 
Level 1 - Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.  Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these products does not entail a significant degree of judgment.
   
 ●
Level 2 - Valuations based on one or more quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.
   
 ●
Level 3 - Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.
 
The availability of observable inputs can vary by types of assets and liabilities and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, whether an instrument is established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets and other characteristics particular to the transaction. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by management in determining fair value is greatest for assets and liabilities categorized in Level 3.
 
Level 3 Valuation Process

The estimated fair value of the Company’s life settlements are determined on a quarterly basis by the Company’s portfolio management committee, taking into consideration changes in discount rate assumptions, estimated premium payments and life expectancy estimate assumptions, as well as any changes in economic and other relevant conditions.  These inputs are then used to estimate the discounted cash flows using the MAPS probabilistic portfolio pricing model, which estimates the cash flows using various probabilities and scenarios.  The valuation process includes a review by senior management as of each valuation date.  Management has also engaged a third party expert to independently test the accuracy of the valuations using the inputs provided by management on a quarterly basis.

Life insurance policies represent financial instruments recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. The following table reconciles the beginning and ending fair value of the Company’s Level 3 investments in life insurance policies for the three and six month periods ending September 30, as follows:

The fair value of a portfolio of life insurance policies is based on information available to the Company at the reporting date. Fair value is based upon a discounted cash flow model that incorporates life expectancy estimate assumptions.  Life expectancy estimates are obtained from independent and third-party widely accepted life expectancy estimate providers at policy acquisition. The life expectancy values of each insured, as determined at policy acquisition, are rolled down monthly for the passage of time by the MAPS actuarial software the Company uses for ongoing valuation of its portfolio of life insurance policies.  The discount rate incorporates current information about discount rates applied by other reporting companies owning portfolios of life insurance policies, discount rates observed in the life insurance secondary market, market interest rates, the credit exposure to the insurance company that issued the life insurance policy and management’s estimate of the risk premium a purchaser would require to receive the future cash flows derived from our portfolio of life insurance policies.

On January 22, 2013, one of the independent medical actuarial underwriting firms we utilize, 21st Services, announced advancements in its underwriting methodology, resulting in revised estimated life expectancy mortality tables.  We have been advised by 21st Services that the changes are very granular and relate to both specific medical conditions and lifestyles of insureds.  These changes are the result of the application of additional medical information that has been gathered by 21st Services over a period of time, and which has now been applied to the inputs and methodologies used to develop the actuarial life expectancy estimates.  While we do not believe these revised methodologies indicate the previous life expectancy estimates were inaccurate, we believe the revised methodologies provide additional information that should be considered in updating life expectancy estimates of the insureds within our portfolio of life settlement contracts as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.  Based upon our evaluation and analysis of data made available by 21st Services, as well as information regarding the insureds within our portfolio, we have estimated the impact of the changes in 21st Services’ methodologies for determining life expectancy estimates on a policy-by-policy basis within our portfolio and applied such changes to the life expectancy inputs used to estimate fair value.  We have adjusted the original life expectancy estimates provided by 21st Services based on four factors, the impact of each analyzed individually for each insured in the GWG portfolio.  The four factors are gender, anti-selection, age, and primary impairment.  While the analysis and adjustments were applied on an individual policy basis, the result was an average overall increase in the original life expectancy estimates of 8.67%.  We have a standard practice of obtaining two third-party life expectancy estimates for each policy with a policy face value in excess of $250,000 in our portfolio.  As a result, the effective change in the life expectancy estimate on the portfolio was an average increase of approximately 4.33%, which resulted in an aggregate decrease in the fair value of our portfolio of life insurances policies of $12.4 million as of December 31, 2012.  Life expectancy  is, by its very nature, an estimate.  

Due to the estimating changes made by 21st Services, and because refinement in estimating methods is ongoing, we have been obtaining updated life expectancy estimates for all policies purchased where we used a life expectancy estimate from 21st Services.  Of the 211 policies we owned on December 31, 2012, we have obtained updated medical records and life expectancy estimates for 138 policies and are in the process of updating medical records and life expectancy estimates for the remaining 73  policies as of September 30, 2013.  For the other 138 policies we have obtained updated life expectancy estimates, we compared the life expectancy estimate used on September 30, 2013 to that used on December 31, 2012, including the above-described adjustments made to 21st Services’ life expectancy estimates.  After accounting for the nine months that elapsed between these dates using the MAPS actuarial software and the mortalities with the portfolio, the updated life expectancy estimates at September 30, 2013 were shorter than those used on December 31, 2012 by an average of 1.2 months, or 1.4%.   We therefore believe that, at this time, the adjustments made to the 21st Services’ life expectancy estimates on December 31, 2012 were adequate. We plan to continue the process of updating medical records and life expectancy estimates on the remainder of the 73 policies in the portfolio in the months ahead. 
 
The fair value of life insurance policies is estimated using present value calculations of estimated cash flows based on the data specific to each individual life insurance policy. Estimated future policy premium payments are calculated based on the terms of the policy and the premium payment history. The following summarizes the unobservable inputs utilized in estimating the fair value of the portfolio of life insurance policies:

These assumptions are, by their nature, inherently uncertain and the effect of changes in estimates may be significant. The techniques used in estimating the present value of estimated cash flows are derived from valuation techniques generally used in the industry that include inputs for the asset that are not based on observable market data. The extent to which the fair value could reasonably vary in the near term has been quantified by evaluating the effect of changes in significant underlying assumptions used to estimate the fair value. If the life expectancy estimates were increased or decreased by four and eight months on each outstanding policy and the discount factors were increased or decreased by 1% and 2%, while all other variables are held constant, the fair value of the investment in life insurance policies would increase or (decrease) by the  amounts summarized below:

Other Fair Value Considerations

Carrying value of receivables, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to their short-term maturities and low credit risk. The estimated fair value of the Company’s Series I Secured notes payable is approximately $33,068,000 based on a weighted-average market interest rate of 7.47% based on an income approach. The Company began issuing Renewable Secured Debentures in the first quarter of 2012. The current interest rates on the Renewable Secured Debentures approximate market rates. The carrying value of the Renewable Secured Debentures approximates fair value. The carrying value of the revolving credit facility reflects interest charged at the commercial paper rate plus an applicable margin. The margin represents our credit risk, and the strength of the portfolio of life insurance policies collateralizing the debt. The overall rate reflects market, and the carrying value of the revolver approximates fair value. All of the financial instruments are level 3 fair value measurements.
 
The Company has issued warrants to purchase common stock in connection with the issuance of its convertible, redeemable preferred stock. Warrants were determined by the Company as permanent equity. The fair value measurements associated with the warrants, measured at issuance represent level 3 instruments.

( 5 )       Notes receivable from related parties
 
As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had receivables totaling $5,000,000 due from an affiliate, Opportunity Finance, LLC, which were fully reserved. Opportunity Finance ceased operations in 2008.
 
( 6 )       Credit facilities
 
Revolving credit facility – Autobahn Funding Company LLC
 
On July 15, 2008, DLP II and United Lending entered into a revolving credit facility pursuant to a Credit and Security Agreement (Agreement) with Autobahn Funding Company LLC (Autobahn), providing the Company with a maximum borrowing amount of $100,000,000. Autobahn is a commercial paper conduit that issues commercial paper to investors in order to provide funding to DLP II and United Lending.  DZ Bank AG acts as the agent for Autobahn. The original Agreement was to expire on July 15, 2013.  On January 29, 2013, Holdings, together with GWG Life and DLP II, entered into an Amended and Restated Credit and Security Agreement with Autobahn, extending the facility expiration date to December 31, 2014, and removing United Lending as a party to the amended and restated Agreement.  The amount outstanding under this facility as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, was $79,000,000 and $71,000,000, respectively.
 
The Agreement requires DLP II to pay, on a monthly basis, interest at the commercial paper rate plus an applicable margin, as defined in the Agreement. The effective rate was 6.19% and 2.02% at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.  The weighted-average effective interest rate was 6.23% and 2.15% (excluding the unused line fee) for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and 6.12% and 2.17% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  The Agreement also requires payment of an unused line fee on the unfunded amount under the revolving credit facility. The note is secured by substantially all of DLP II assets, which consist primarily of life settlement policies.

The Agreement has certain financial and nonfinancial covenants. The Company was in compliance with these covenants at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. The Agreement generally prohibits the Company from:
 
changing its corporate name, offices, and jurisdiction of incorporation
changing any deposit accounts or payment instructions to insurers;
changing any operating policies and practices such that it would be reasonably likely to adversely affect the collectability of any asset in any material respect;
merging or consolidating with, or selling all or substantially all of its assets to, any third party;
selling any collateral or creating or permitting to exist any adverse claim upon any collateral;
engaging in any other business or activity than that contemplated by the Agreement;
incurring or guaranteeing any debt for borrowed money;
amending the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws, making any loans or advances to, investments in, or paying any dividends to, any person unless both before and after any such loan, advance, investment or dividend there exists no actual event of default, potential event of default or termination event;
 
removing an independent director on the board of directors except for cause or with the consent of the lender; or
 ●
making payment on or issuing any subsidiary secured notes or debentures, or amending any agreements respecting such notes or debentures, if an event of default, potential event of default or termination event exists or would arise from any such action.
 
In addition, the Company has agreed to maintain (i) a positive consolidated net income (as defined and calculated under the Agreement) for each complete fiscal year and (ii) a tangible net worth (again, as defined and calculated under the Agreement) of not less than $15 million, and (iii) maintain a borrowing base surplus or cash cushion sufficient to pay three to twelve months (increasing throughout 2013) of premiums and facility fees.

Consolidated net income and tangible net worth as of and for the four-quarter period ended September 30, 2013, as calculated under the Agreement, were $9,806,000 and $50,775,000, respectively.
 
Advances under the Agreement are subject to a borrowing base formula, which limits the availability of advances on the borrowing base calculation based on attributes of policies pledged to the facility. Over-concentration of policies by insurance carrier, over-concentration of policies by insurance carriers with ratings below a AA- rating, and the premiums and facility fees reserve are the three primary factors with the potential of limiting availability of funds on the facility. Total funds available for additional borrowings under the borrowing base formula criteria at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, were $268,000 and $15,043,000 respectively.

On July 15, 2008, Holdings delivered a performance guaranty in favor of Autobahn pursuant to which it guaranteed the obligations of GWG Life, in its capacity as the seller and master servicer, under the Credit and Security Agreement and related documents.  On January 29, 2013 and in connection with the Amended and Restated Credit and Security Agreement, Holdings delivered a reaffirmation of its performance guaranty.  The obligations of Holdings under the performance guaranty and subsequent reaffirmation do not extend to the principal and interest owed by DLP II as the borrower under the credit facility.
 
( 7 )       Series I Secured notes payable
 
Series I Secured notes payable have been issued in conjunction with the GWG Series I Secured notes private placement memorandum dated August 25, 2009 (last revised November 15, 2010). On June 14, 2011, the Company closed the offering to additional investors, however, existing investors may elect to continue advancing amounts outstanding upon maturity subject to the Company’s option. Series I Secured notes have maturity dates ranging from nine months to seven years with fixed interest rates varying from 5.65% to 9.55% depending on the term of the note. Interest is payable monthly, quarterly, annually or at maturity depending on the terms of the note. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 the weighted-average interest rates of Series I Secured notes were 8.30%, and 8.22% respectively. The notes are secured by assets of GWG Life. The principal amount outstanding under these Series I Secured notes was $32,698,000 and $38,570,000 at September 30, 2013, and December 31, 2012, respectively.  The difference between the amount outstanding on the Series I Secured notes and the carrying amount on the consolidated balance sheet is due to the netting of unamortized deferred issuance costs. Overall, interest expense includes amortization of deferred financing and issuance costs of $165,000 and $382,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, and $200,000 and $947,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.  Future expected amortization of deferred financing costs is $659,000 over the next six years.
 
On November 15, 2010, the holders of a majority of the membership interests in the Company (then a limited liability company), Messrs. Jon R. Sabes and Steven F. Sabes, pledged their ownership interests in the Company to the Series I Trust as security for advances under the Series I Trust arrangement.
 
The use of proceeds from the issuances of Series I Secured notes was limited to the following: (1) payment of commissions of Series I Secured note sales, (2) purchase life insurance policies, (3) pay premiums of life insurance policies, (4) pay principal and interest to Senior Liquidity Provider (DZ Bank), (5) pay portfolio or note operating fees or costs, (6) pay trustee (Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.), (7) pay servicer and collateral fees, (8) pay principal and interest on Series I Secured notes, (9) make distributions to equity holders for tax liability related to portfolio, (10) purchase interest rate caps, swaps, or hedging instruments, (11) pay GWG Series I Trustee fees, and (12) pay offering expenses.
 
On November 1, 2011, GWG entered into a Third Amended and Restated Note Issuance and Security Agreement with Lord Securities Corporation after receiving majority approval from the holders of Series I Secured notes. Among other things, the amended and restated agreement modified the use of proceeds and certain provisions relating to the distribution of collections and subordination of cash flow. Under the amended and restated agreement, GWG is no longer restricted as to its use of proceeds or subject to restrictions on certain distributions of collections and subordination of cash flows. Under the amended and restated agreement, GWG may extend the maturity of Series I Secured notes of a six month term for up to two additional six month terms, and Series I Secured notes of a one year term for up to six months.

The Company has registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, effective January 2012, the offer and sale of $250,000,000 of Renewable Secured Debentures. Renewable Secured Debentures have maturity dates ranging from nine months to seven years with fixed interest rates varying from 4.75% to 9.50% depending on the term of the note. Interest is payable monthly, annually or at maturity depending on the terms of the debenture. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the weighted-average interest rate of Renewable Secured Debentures was 7.53% and 7.65%, respectively.

The amount outstanding under these Renewable Secured Debentures was $113,664,000 and $57,609,000 at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

The offering of Series A preferred stock concluded on September 2, 2012 and resulted in 3,278,000 shares being issued for gross consideration of $24,582,000. As of September 30, 2013, 142,000 shares have been issued as a result of conversion of $995,000 in dividends into shares of Series A preferred stock.  The Series A preferred stock was sold at an offering price of $7.50 per share.

The Company may elect to automatically convert the Series A preferred stock to common stock as described below. Series A preferred shareholders also received three-year warrants to purchase, at an exercise price per share of $6.25, one share of common stock for every 20 shares of Series A preferred stock purchased.  The warrants are exercisable immediately. In the Certificate of Designations for the Series A preferred stock dated July 31, 2011, the Company agreed to permit preferred shareholders to sell their shares back to the Company for the stated value of $7.50 per share, plus accrued dividends, according to the following schedule:
 
Up to 33% of the holder’s unredeemed shares one year after issuance:

The Company may redeem the Series A preferred shares at a price equal to 110% of their liquidation preference ($7.50 per share) at any time after December 15, 2012.
 
At the election of the Company, the Series A preferred shares may be automatically converted into the common stock of the Company in the event of either (1) a registered offering of the Company’s common stock with the SEC aggregating gross proceeds of at least $5.0 million at a price equal to or greater than $5.50 per share of common stock, or (2) the consent of shareholders holding at least a majority of the then-outstanding shares of Series A preferred stock. As of September 30, 2013, the Company had issued 3,426,000 preferred shares resulting in gross consideration of $25,619,000 (including cash proceeds, conversion of Series I Secured notes and accrued interest on Series I notes, and conversion of preferred dividends payable). In 2013, the Company redeemed 48,000 shares valued at $357,000 resulting in 3,378,000 shares outstanding with the gross value of $25,262,000. The Company incurred Series A preferred stock issuance costs of $2,838,000, of which $2,237,000 was amortized to additional paid in capital as of September 30, 2013, resulting in a carrying amount of $24,661,000.

The Company determined that the grant date fair value of the outstanding warrants attached to the Series A preferred stock was $395,000 for warrants issued through September 30, 2013. The Company may redeem outstanding warrants prior to their expiration, at a price of $0.01 per share upon 30 days written notice to the investors at any time after (i) the Company has completed a registration of its common stock with the SEC and (ii) the weighted-average sale price per share of common stock equals or exceeds $7.00 per share for ten consecutive trading days ending on the third business day prior to proper notice of such redemption. Total warrants outstanding as of September 30, 2013, were 831,909 with a weighted-average remaining life of 1.59 years. Total warrants outstanding at December 31, 2012, were 831,909 with a weighted-average remaining life of 2.34 years.
 
Dividends on the Series A preferred stock may be paid in either cash or additional shares of Series A preferred stock at the election of the holder and approval of the Company. The dividends are reported as an expense and included in the caption interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations.
 
The Company declared and accrued dividends of $632,000 and $625,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $1,897,000 and $1,654,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, pursuant to a board resolution declaring the dividend.  26,000 and 23,000 shares of Series A preferred stock were issued in lieu of cash dividends in the three month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and 63,000 and 58,000 shares of Series A preferred stock were issued in lieu of cash dividends in the nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The shares issued in lieu of cash dividends were issued at $7.00 per share.  As of September 30, 2013, Holdings has $632,000 of accrued preferred dividends which were paid or converted to shares of Series A preferred stock on October 15, 2013.

(10)       Income taxes

For the three month ended September 30, 2013, the Company recorded income tax benefit of $657,000 or 28.7% of income before taxes, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recorded income tax expense of $1,711,000, or 89.8% of income before taxes, compared to the recognition of an income tax expense of $675,000, or 121.8% of income before taxes, for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and an income tax expense of $104,000, or (5.6%) of income before taxes, for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.  The primary differences between the Company’s September 30, 2013 effective tax rate and the statutory federal rate result from the accrual of preferred stock dividend expense, state taxes, and other non-deductible expenses.

The most significant temporary differences between GAAP net income and taxable net income are the treatment of interest costs with respect to the acquisition of the life insurance policies and revenue recognition with respect to the mark-to-market of life insurance portfolio.

The company adopted the GWG Holdings, Inc. 2013 Stock Incentive Plan on March 27, 2013.  The plan shall be administered by the Board of Directors of the Company.  The Company’s Chief Executive Officer may, on a discretionary basis and without committee review or approval, grant incentives to new employees of the Company who are not Officers of the Company.  Incentives under the plan may be granted in one or a combination of the following forms: (a) incentive stock options and non-statutory stock options; (b) stock appreciation rights; (c) stock awards; (d) restricted stock; (e) restricted stock units; and (f) performance shares.  Eligible participants include officers and employees of the company, members of the Board of Directors, and consultants or other independent contractors.  2,000,000 shares are issuable under the plan.  No person shall receive grants of stock options and SARs under the plan that exceed, in the aggregate 400,000 shares of common stock in any one year.  The term of each stock option shall be determined by the committee but shall not exceed ten years.  Vested stock options may be exercised in whole or part by the holder giving notice to the Company.  The holder of the option may provide payment for the exercise price of surrender shares equal to the exercise price.

Litigation - In the normal course of business, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings. In the opinion of management, any liability resulting from such proceedings would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
Opportunity Finance, LLC, owned by Jon Sabes and Steven Sabes, is subject to litigation clawback claims by the bankruptcy trustee for third-party matters for payments that may have been deemed preference payments, as well as related third-party civil claims. In addition, Jon Sabes and Steven Sabes are subject to litigation clawback claims by the bankruptcy trustee for third-party matters for payments received from Opportunity Finance that may have been deemed preference payments, as well as related third-party civil claims. If the parties are unsuccessful in defending against these claims, their equity ownership in the Company may be sold or transferred to other parties to satisfy such claims. In addition, the Company loaned $1,000,000 to Opportunity Finance, LLC in 2006, and was repaid in full plus interest of $177,000. This investment amount may also be subject to clawback claims by the bankruptcy court.

( 15 )     Guarantees of secured debentures
 
Holdings has registered with the SEC the offer and sale $250,000,000 of secured debentures as described in note 8. The secured debentures are secured by the assets of Holdings as described in note 8 and a pledge of all the common stock by the largest shareholders. Obligations under the debentures are guaranteed by Holding’s subsidiary GWG Life. This guarantee involves the grant of a security interest in all the assets of GWG Life. GWG Life is a wholly owned subsidiary of Holdings and the payment of principal and interest on the secured debentures is fully and unconditionally guaranteed by GWG Life. Substantially all of the Company’s life insurance policies are held by DLP II, a wholly owned subsidiary of GWG Life. The policies held by DLP II are not collateral for the debenture obligations as such policies are collateral for the credit facility.
 
The consolidating financial statements are presented in lieu of separate financial statements and other related disclosures of the subsidiary guarantors and issuer because management does not believe that separate financial statements and related disclosures would be material to investors. There are currently no significant restrictions on the ability of Holdings or GWG Life, the guarantor subsidiary, to obtain funds from its subsidiaries by dividend or loan, except as follows. DLP II is a borrower under a credit agreement with Autobahn, with DZ Bank AG as agent, as described in note 6. The significant majority of insurance policies owned by the Company are subject to a collateral arrangement with DZ Bank AG described in notes 3 and 6. Under this arrangement, collection and escrow accounts are used to fund premiums of the insurance policies and to pay interest and other charges under the revolving credit facility. DZ Bank AG and Autobahn must authorize all disbursements from these accounts, including any distributions to GWG Life. Distributions are limited to an amount that would result in the borrowers (GWG DLP Funding II, LLC, GWG Life Settlements, LLC, and GWG Holdings, Inc.) realizing an annualized rate of return on the equity funded amount for such assets of not more than 18%, as determined by DZ Bank AG. After such amount is reached, the credit agreement requires that excess funds be used for repayments of borrowings before any additional distributions may be made.
 
The following represents consolidating financial information as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, with respect to the financial position, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 with respect to results of operations and cash flows of Holdings and its subsidiaries. The parent column presents the financial information of Holdings, the primary obligor of the secured debentures. The guarantor subsidiary column presents the financial information of GWG Life, the guarantor subsidiary of the secured debentures, presenting its investment in DLP II and Trust under the equity method. The non-guarantor subsidiaries column presents the financial information of all non-guarantor subsidiaries including DLP II and Trust.

You should read the following discussion in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes and the information contained in other sections of this report. This discussion and analysis is based on the beliefs of our management, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, our management. The statements in this discussion and analysis concerning expectations regarding our future performance, liquidity and capital resources, as well as other non-historical statements, are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties.  Our actual results could differ materially from those suggested or implied by any forward-looking statements. Please see the caption “Risk Relating to Forward-Looking Statements” below.

Overview

We are engaged in the emerging secondary market for life insurance policies.  We acquire life insurance policies in the secondary market from policy owners desiring to sell their policies at a discount to the face value of the insurance benefit.  Once we purchase a policy, we continue paying the policy premiums in order to ultimately collect the face value of the insurance benefit.  We generally seek to hold the individual policies to maturity, in order to ultimately collect the policy’s face value upon the insured’s mortality.  Our strategy is to build a profitable and large (greater than 300 policies) portfolio of policies that is diversified in terms of insurance carriers and the medical conditions of insureds.  We believe that diversification among insureds, insurers and medical conditions will lower our overall risk exposure, and that a larger number of individual policies (diversification in overall number) will provide our portfolio with greater actuarial stability.
 
In the first nine months of 2013, we recognized $11,396,000 of revenue from the receipt of $15,600,000 in policy benefits.  In addition, we recognized revenue from the change in fair value of our life insurance policies, net of premiums and carrying costs, of $10,115,000.  Interest expense, including amortization of the deferred financing costs and preferred stock dividends, was $14,946,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, and selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 were $8,190,000.  Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $1,711,000.  Our net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $195,000.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We base our judgments, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. We evaluate our judgments, estimates and assumptions on a regular basis and make changes accordingly. We believe that the judgments, estimates and assumptions involved in the accounting for the valuation of investments in life insurance policies have the greatest potential impact on our consolidated financial statements and accordingly believe these to be our critical accounting estimates. Below we discuss the critical accounting policies associated with these estimates as well as certain other critical accounting policies.
 
Ownership of Life Insurance Policies—Fair Value Option

Our primary business involves the purchasing and financing of life insurance policies. As such, we account for the purchase of life insurance policies in accordance with ASC 325-30, Investments in Insurance Contracts , which requires us to use either the investment method or the fair value method. We have elected to account for these life insurance policies as investments using the fair value method.

We initially record our purchase of life insurance policies at the transaction price, which is the amount paid for the policy, inclusive of all fees and costs associated with the acquisition. The fair value of our investment in the portfolio of insurance policies is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the fair value of the portfolio of life insurance policies are based on periodic evaluations and are recorded as changes in fair value of life insurance policies in our consolidated and combined statement of operations. The fair value is determined as the net present value of the life insurance portfolio’s future expected cash flows that incorporates current life expectancy estimates and discount rate assumptions.
 
 
29

 
 

In addition to reporting our results of operations and financial condition based on the fair value of our life insurance policies as required by GAAP, management also makes calculations and evaluates our financial condition based on the weighted average expected internal rate of return of the policies and other non-GAAP financial measures. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.

Valuation of Insurance Policies

Unobservable inputs, as discussed below, are a critical component of our estimate for the fair value of our investments in life insurance policies. We currently use a probabilistic method of estimating and valuing the projected cash flows of our portfolio of life insurance policies, which we believe to be the preferred and most prevalent valuation method in the industry. In this regard, the most significant assumptions we make are the life expectancy estimates of the insureds and the discount rate applied to the projected cash flows to be derived from our portfolio.

In determining life expectancy estimates, we generally use actuarial medical reviews from independent medical underwriters. These medical underwriters summarize the health of the insured by reviewing historical and current medical records. The medical underwriters evaluate the health condition of the insured in order to produce an estimate of the insured’s mortality—a life expectancy report. In the case of a small face policy ($250,000 face value or less), we may use one life expectancy report or estimate life expectancy based on a modified methodology which does not use actuarial medical reviews from independent medical underwriters. The life expectancy estimate represents a range of probabilities for the insured’s mortality against a group of cohorts with the same age, sex and smoking status. These mortality probabilities represent a mathematical curve known as a mortality curve, which is then used to generate a series of expected cash flows from the life insurance policy over the expected lifespan of the insured. A discount rate is used to calculate the net present value of the expected cash flows. The discount rate represents the internal rate of return we expect to earn on investments in a policy or in the portfolio as a whole at the stated fair value. The discount rate used to calculate fair value of our portfolio incorporates the guidance provided by ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.
 
The table below provides the discount rate used to estimate the fair value of the portfolio of our life insurance policies for the period ending:
 
 
September 30, 2013
 
December 31, 2012
 
  
11.77%
 
12.08%
 

The change in the discount rate incorporates current information about discount rates applied by other reporting companies owning portfolios of life insurance policies, discount rates observed in the life insurance secondary market, market interest rates, the credit exposure to the issuing insurance companies and our estimate of the risk premium a purchaser would require to receive the future cash flows derived from our portfolio of life insurance policies.  Because we use the discount rate to arrive at the fair value of our portfolio, the rate we choose necessarily assumes an orderly and arms-length transaction (i.e., a non-distressed transaction in which neither seller nor buyer is compelled to engage in the transaction).

We engaged a third party, Model Actuarial Pricing Systems (MAPS), to prepare a third-party valuation of our life settlement portfolio. MAPS owns and maintains the portfolio pricing software we use. MAPS processed policy data, future premium data, life expectancy estimate data, and other actuarial information we supply to calculate a net present value for our portfolio using the specified discount rate of 11.77%. MAPS independently calculated the net present value of our portfolio of 254 policies to be $214,166,000, which is the same fair value estimate we used on the balance sheet as of September 30, 2013, and furnished us with a letter documenting its calculation. A copy of such letter is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.
 
JOBS Act

On April 5, 2012, the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or JOBS Act, was enacted. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933 for complying with new or revised accounting standards. This means that an “emerging growth company” can make an election to delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would apply to private companies. We have elected to delay such adoption of new or revised accounting standards and, as a result, we may not comply with new or revised accounting standards at the same time as other public reporting companies that are not “emerging growth companies.” This exemption will apply for a period of five years following our first sale of common equity securities under an effective registration statement or until we no longer qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined under the JOBS Act, whichever is earlier.
 
Deferred Income Taxes
 
FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes, requires us to recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. A valuation allowance is established for any portion of deferred tax assets that is not considered more likely than not to be realized.

We have provided a valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset related to a note receivable because we believe that, when realized for tax purposes, it will result in a capital loss that will not be utilized because we have no expectation of generating a capital gain within the applicable carryforward period. Therefore, we do not believe that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be realized.
 
 
30

 
 
We have also provided a valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset related to a tax basis capital loss generated with respect to its settlement and subsequent disposal of our investment in Athena Structured Funds.  As we have no expectation of generating capital gains within the applicable carry-forward period, we do not believe that it is more likely than not that the deferred asset will be realized.

A valuation allowance is required to be recognized to reduce deferred tax assets to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Realization of deferred tax assets depends upon having sufficient past or future taxable income in periods to which the deductible temporary differences are expected to be recovered or within any applicable carryback or carryforward periods. We believe that it is more likely than not that we will be able to realize all of our deferred tax assets other than that which is expected to result in a capital loss.

Deferred Financing and Issuance Costs

Financing costs incurred to obtain financing under the revolving credit facility have been capitalized and are amortized using the straight-line method over the term of the revolving credit facility.  The Series I Secured note obligations are reported net of issuance costs, sales commissions and other direct expenses, which are amortized using the interest method over the term of each respective borrowing.  The Renewable Secured Debentures are reported net of issuance costs, sales commissions and other direct expenses, which are amortized using the interest method over the term of each respective borrowing.  The Series A preferred stock is reported net of issuance costs, sales commissions, including the fair value of warrants issued, and other direct expenses, which are amortized using the interest method as interest expense over the three-year redemption period.
 
Risk Relating to Forward-Looking Statements

Certain matters discussed in this section of this report, and elsewhere in this report, are forward-looking statements.  We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events.  Nevertheless, these forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions about our operations and the investments we make, including, among other things, factors discussed in the “Risk Factors” section of this report and the following:

changes in the secondary market for life insurance;
   
our limited operating history;
   
the valuation of assets reflected on our financial statements;
   
the reliability of assumptions underlying our actuarial models;
   
our reliance of debt financing;
   
risks relating to the validity and enforceability of the life insurance policies we purchase;
   
our reliance on information provided and obtained by third parties;
   
federal and state regulatory matters, including the effect and outcome of current regulatory investigations;
   
additional expenses, not reflected in our operating history, related to being a public reporting company;
   
competition in the secondary life insurance market;
   
the relative illiquidity of life insurance policies;
   
life insurance company credit exposure;
   
economic outlook;
   
performance of our investments in life insurance policies;
   
financing requirements;
   
litigation risks; and
   
restrictive covenants contained in borrowing agreements.

Forward-looking statements can generally be identified by the use of words like “believes,” “could,” “possibly,” “probably,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “projects,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seek,” “intend,” “plan,” “expect” or “consider,” or the negative of these expressions or other variations, or by discussions of strategy that involve risks and uncertainties.  All forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual transactions, results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future transactions, results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. We caution you that the forward-looking statements in this report are only estimates and predictions, or statements of current intent.  Actual results or outcomes, or actions that we ultimately undertake, could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements due to risks, uncertainties or actual events differing from the assumptions underlying these statements.
 
Principal Revenue and Expense Items
 
We earn revenues from three primary sources as described below.
 
Policy Benefits Realized.  We recognize the difference between the death benefits and carrying values of the policy when an insured event has occurred and we determine that settlement and ultimate collection of the death benefits is realizable and reasonably assured. Revenue from a transaction must meet both criteria in order to be recognized.  We generally collect the face value of the life insurance policy from the insurance company within 45 days of the insured’s mortality.
 
Sale of a Life Insurance Policy or a Portfolio of Life Insurance Policies.  In an event of a sale of a policy, we recognize gain or loss as the difference between the sale price and the carrying value of the policy on the date of the receipt of payment on such sale.
 
Change in Fair Value of Life Insurance Policies.  We have elected to carry our investments in life insurance policies at fair value in accordance with ASC 325-30, Investments in Life Insurance Contracts. Accordingly, we value our investments in our portfolio of life insurance policies each reporting period in accordance with the fair value principles discussed herein, which includes the expected payment of premiums for future periods.
 
Our main components of expense are summarized below.
 
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.  We recognize and record expenses incurred in the operations of the purchasing and servicing of life insurance policies.  These expenses include professional fees, salaries, and sales and marketing expenditures.
 
Interest Expense.  We recognize and record interest expenses associated with the costs of financing our life insurance portfolio for the current period.  These expenses include interest paid to our senior lender under our revolving credit facility, as well as all interest paid on our debentures and other outstanding indebtedness such as our subsidiary secured notes and dividends on convertible, redeemable preferred stock.  When we issue long-term indebtedness, we amortize the issuance costs associated with such indebtedness over the outstanding term of the financing, and classify it as interest expense.
 
Results of Operations — Three and Nine months Ended September 30, 2013 Compared to the Same Periods in 2012
 
The following is our analysis of the results of operations for the periods indicated below.  This analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes.
 
Revenue. Revenue recognized from the receipt of policy benefits was $3,668,000 and $11,396,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013. Revenue recognized from the receipt of policy benefits was $4,083,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.  Revenue recognized from the change in fair value of our life insurance policies, net of premiums and carrying costs, was $1,769,000 and $10,115,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, and $4,788,000 and $6,174,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.  During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, we purchased a higher volume of life insurance policies than we did during the same period in 2012. The change in fair value related to new policies acquired during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $6,732,000 and $19,762,000, respectively, and $3,231,000 and $4,898,000 for those acquired during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.  In each case, the increases in fair value were due to changes in the discount rates we use to calculate the net present value of cash flows expected from our portfolio of life insurance policies, new policies acquired during the period, and the aging of the policies. The discount rate used to estimate the fair value of the life insurance policies we own was 11.77% as of September 30, 2013, compared to 12.08% for the same date in 2012. The decrease in discount rate was due to, among other things, an increase in the size and diversity of policies held in our portfolio of life insurance policies that resulted in lower risk premium to a potential buyer of the portfolio in its entirety. The carrying value of policies acquired during each quarterly reporting period is adjusted to current value using the fair value discount rate applied to the portfolio as of that reporting date. For more information, please see “Critical Accounting Policies – Valuation of Insurance Policies” above.

Expenses. Interest expense, including amortization of the deferred financing costs, was $5,537,000 for the third quarter of 2013 and $14,946,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $2,803,000 for the third quarter of 2012 and $7,621,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Year-to-date interest expense for the first nine months of 2013 has increased $7,325,000 compared to the same period in 2012. The increase in interest expense was due to increased average debt outstanding from $138,710,000 on September 30, 2012 to $225,362,000 on September 30, 2013 as well as an increase of weighted average effective interest rate associated with the revolving line of credit from 2.17% to 6.12% for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2013, respectively.  The increase of the weighted average effective interest rate along with incurred financing costs associated with the renewal of the revolving line of credit resulted in an increase of the line of credit’s interest expense of $2,637,000.  Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $2,276,000, and $1,391,000 for the third quarter of 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $8,191,000 and $4,552,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. This represents an increase of $3,639,000 in selling, general, and administrative expenses during the first nine months of 2013 compared to the same period of 2012. This was the result of  an increase of $2,239,000 in employee expenses and benefits, $182,000 increased legal expenses, as well as $1,218,000 increase of sales and marketing costs associated with our public offering of Renewable Secured Debentures.
 
Income Tax Expense. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, we recorded income tax benefit of $657,000 (or 28.7% of income before taxes) and income tax expense of $1,711,000 (or 89.8% of income before taxes), compared to income tax expense of $633,000 (or 121.8% of income before taxes) for the three month ended September 30, 2012 and income tax expense of $104,000 (or 5.6% of income before taxes) for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.  The primary difference between our September 30, 2013 effective tax rate and the statutory federal rate result from the accrual of preferred stock dividend expense, state taxes, and other non-deductible expenses.  Excluding the impact of the dividends and other permanent differences, the effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2013 would have been 40.5%.

The most significant temporary differences between GAAP net income and taxable net income are the treatment of interest costs with respect to the acquisition of the life insurance policies and revenue recognition with respect to the mark-to-market of life insurance portfolio.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
We finance our business through a combination of policy benefit revenues, origination fees, equity offerings, debt offerings, and a credit facility. We have used our debt offerings and credit facility for a combination of policy acquisition, policy servicing, portfolio related financing, and operational expenditures. We typically charge an intercompany origination fee in the amount of one to four percent of the face value of a life insurance policy’s benefit when we acquire the related life insurance policy.  The origination fee we charge is included in the total purchase price we pay for a life insurance policy for purposes of our valuation and expected internal rate of return calculations, but is not netted against the purchase price we pay to a seller of an insurance policy. We generated cash flows of $1,004,000 and $746,000 from origination fees during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 respectively, and $2,818,000 and $1,185,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 respectively.  The higher amount in 2013 was due to a higher volume of purchases of life insurance policies compared to that in the same period of 2012.  Profit from intra-company origination fees for life insurance policies we retain is eliminated from our consolidated statements of operations. As such, the origination fees collected under our life insurance policy financing arrangements are reflected in our consolidated statements of cash flows as cash flows from financing activities as they are paid in the form of borrowings used to finance the acquisition. Our revolving bank line allows GWG DLP Funding II to borrow the funds necessary to pay origination fees to GWG Life Settlements, LLC.  Our borrowing agreements allow us to use the net proceeds from our sales of Renewable Secured Debentures for policy acquisition, which includes origination fees. See “—Cash Flows” below for further information. We determine the purchase price of life insurance policies in accordance with ASC 325-30, Investments in Insurance Contracts , using the fair value method. Under the fair value method, the initial investment is recorded at the transaction price.  Since the origination fees are paid from a wholly owned subsidiary to the parent company, these fees are not included in the transaction price for our consolidated financial statements. For further discussion on our accounting policies for life settlements, please refer to note 1 to our consolidated financial statements.
 
As of September 30, 2013, we had approximately $32.7 million in combined available cash and available borrowing base surplus capacity under our revolving credit facility for the purpose of paying premiums on existing policies, paying portfolio servicing expenses, and paying principal and interest on our outstanding financing obligations.

In September 2012, we concluded a Series A preferred stock offering, receiving an aggregate $24.6 million in subscriptions for our Series A preferred stock. These subscriptions consisted of $14.0 million in conversions of outstanding Series I subsidiary secured notes and $10.6 million of new investments. We have used the proceeds from the sale of our Series A preferred stock, together with the origination fees we received to purchase and finance life insurance policies to fund our operational expenditures.

In June 2011, we registered a $250.0 million debt offering of our Renewable Secured Debentures with the SEC, which registration became effective on January 31, 2012. As of September 30, 2013, we had received $114.6 million in subscriptions for our Renewable Secured Debentures, including $0.9 million of subscriptions in process.

Our wholly owned subsidiary, GWG Life Settlements, LLC, or GWG Life, issued Series I Secured notes beginning in November 2009 on a private placement basis to accredited investors only. This offering was closed in November 2011.  As of September 30, 2013, we had approximately $32.6 million in principal amount of Series I Secured notes outstanding.  

The weighted-average interest rate of our outstanding Series I Secured notes as of September 30, 2013 was 8.30% and the weighted-average maturity at that date was 2.54 years.  The Series I Secured notes have renewal features.  Since we first issued our Series I Secured notes, we have experienced $103,436,000 in maturities, of which $79,402,000 has renewed for an additional term as of September 30, 2013. This has provided us with an aggregate renewal rate of approximately 77% for investments in our subsidiary secured notes. Future contractual maturities of Series I Secured notes payable at September 30, 2013 are as follows:

The Renewable Secured Debentures and Series I Secured notes are secured by all our assets, and are subordinate to our revolving credit facility with Autobahn/DZ Bank.  The Renewable Secured Debentures and Series I Secured notes are pari passu with respect to our assets pursuant to an inter-creditor agreement (see notes 7 and 8 to our consolidated financial statements).

We maintain a $100 million revolving credit facility with Autobahn/DZ Bank through our wholly owned subsidiary GWG DLP Funding II, or DLP Funding II. As of September 30, 2013, we had $79.0 million outstanding under the revolving credit facility and maintained an available borrowing base surplus of $0.3 million (see note 6 to our consolidated financial statements).
 
We expect to meet our ongoing operational capital needs through a combination of policy benefit revenues, origination fees, and proceeds from financing transactions. We expect to meet our policy acquisition, servicing, and financing capital needs principally from the receipt of policy benefit revenues from our portfolio of life insurance policies, net proceeds from our offering of Renewable Secured Debentures, and from our revolving credit facility. Because we only receive origination fees when we purchase a policy, our receipt of those fees is contingent upon our consummation of policy purchases, which is, in turn, contingent upon our receipt of external funding. Despite recent adverse capital market conditions, including a prolonged credit crisis, we have demonstrated continued access to credit and financing markets.  Furthermore, we expect to begin receiving insurance benefit payments on our portfolio of life insurance policies as the average age of the insureds increase and mortality events occur over time—which we expect to begin more significantly in 2015 and steadily increasing until 2018. As a result of the foregoing, we estimate that our liquidity and capital resources are sufficient for our current and projected financial needs. Nevertheless, if we are unable to continue our offering of Renewable Secured Debentures for any reason (or if we become unsuccessful in selling debentures), and we are unable to obtain capital from other sources, we expect that our business would be materially and adversely affected. In addition, our business would be materially and adversely affected if we did not receive the policy benefits we forecast and if holders of our Renewable Secured Debentures or Series I Secured notes failed to renew with the frequency we have historically experienced. In such a case, we could be forced to sell our investments in life insurance policies, in order to service or satisfy our debt-related obligations and continue to pay policy premiums.
 
Capital expenditures have historically not been material and we do not anticipate making material capital expenditures in 2013 or beyond.

Our total revolving credit facility and other indebtedness balance as of September 30, 2013 was $225,362,000. The total outstanding face amount under our Series I Secured notes outstanding at September 30, 2013 was $32,698,000, less unamortized selling costs of $660,000, resulting in a carrying amount of $32,038,000.  The total outstanding face amount of Renewable Secured Debentures outstanding at September 30, 2013 was $113,664,000 plus $937,000 of subscriptions in process, less unamortized selling costs of $4,541,000, resulting in a carrying amount of $110,060,000.  The total outstanding under our revolving credit facility at September 30, 2013 was $79,000,000. The fair value of our investments in life insurance assets of $214,166,000 plus our cash balance of $32,429,000 and our restricted cash balance of $3,510,000, totaled $250,105,000, representing an excess of life insurance assets over secured indebtedness of $24,743,000 at September 30, 2013. The Renewable Secured Debentures and Series I Secured notes are secured by all our assets and are structurally subordinate to our ownership of DLP Funding II, and the revolving credit facility with Autobahn/DZ Bank.  The Renewable Secured Debentures and Series I Secured notes are pari passu with respect to shared collateral pursuant to an inter-creditor agreement.
 
The following forward-looking table seeks to illustrate the impact of the sale of our portfolio of life insurance assets at various discount rates in order to satisfy our debt obligations as of September 30, 2013.  In all cases, the sale of the life insurance assets owned by DLP Funding II will be used first to satisfy all amounts owing under the revolving credit facility with Autobahn/ DZ Bank.  The net sale proceeds remaining after satisfying all obligations under the revolving credit facility would be applied to Renewable Secured Debentures and Series I Secured Notes on a pari passu basis.

Impairment
 
 
The table illustrates that our ability to fully satisfy amounts owing under the Renewable Secured Debentures and Series I Secured Notes would likely be impaired upon the sale of all our life insurance assets at a price equivalent to a discount rate of approximately 14.10% or higher.  The discount rates used to calculate the fair value of our portfolio for mark-to-market accounting were 11.77% as of September 30, 2013, and 12.08% as of December 31, 2012.  The table does not include any allowance for transactional fees and expenses associated with a portfolio sale (which expenses and fees could be substantial), and is provided to demonstrate how various discount rates used to value our portfolio could affect our ability to satisfy amounts owing under our debt obligations (including the debentures), in light of our senior secured lender’s right to priority payments. You should read the above table in conjunction with the information contained in other sections of this report, including our discussion of discount rates included under the “—Critical Accounting Policies – Valuation of Insurance Policies” caption above.  This discussion and analysis is based on the beliefs of our management, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, our management. The forward-looking presentation above is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties.  Our actual results could differ materially from those suggested or implied by the above table.  Please see the caption “Risk Relating to Forward-Looking Statements” above.

Cash Flows
 
The payment of premiums and servicing costs to maintain life insurance policies represents our most significant requirement for cash disbursement. When a policy is purchased, we are able to calculate the minimum premium payments required to maintain the policy in-force. Over time as the insured ages, premium payments will increase; however, the probability of actually needing to pay the premiums decreases since mortality becomes more likely. These scheduled premiums and associated probabilities are factored into our expected internal rate of return and cash-flow modeling described herein. Beyond premiums, we incur policy servicing costs, including annual trustee and tracking costs, and debt servicing costs, including principal and interest payments. Until we receive a stable amount of proceeds from the policy benefits, we intend to pay these costs from our credit facility, when permitted, and through the issuance of debt securities, including Renewable Secured Debentures.
 
For the quarter end dates set forth below, the following table illustrates the total amount of face value of policy benefits owned, and the trailing 12 months of  life insurance policy benefits collected  and premiums paid on our portfolio.  The trailing 12-month benefits/premium coverage ratio indicates the ratio of policy benefits received to premiums paid over the trailing 12-month period from our portfolio of life insurance policies.

We believe that the portfolio cash flow results set forth above are consistent with our investment thesis: That the life insurance policy benefits we receive will continue to increase over time in relation to the premiums we are required to pay on the remaining polices in the portfolio.  As our receipt of life insurance policy benefits continues to increase, we expect to begin servicing and paying down our outstanding indebtedness, or alternatively purchasing additional life insurance policies, from these cash flows.  As indicated above under “Liquidity and Capital Resources,” we presently expect that by 2015, the cash inflows from the receipt of policy benefits will exceed the premium obligations on the remaining life insurance policies held within the portfolio.  See “Business—Portfolio Management.”
 
The amount of payments for anticipated premiums and servicing costs that we will be required to make over the next five years to maintain our current portfolio is set forth in the table below.

The insurance policies owned by our wholly owned subsidiary, GWG DLP Funding II, are subject to a collateral arrangement with the agent to our revolving credit lender, as described in note 6 to the consolidated financial statements. Under this arrangement, collection and escrow accounts are used to fund purchases and premiums of the insurance policies and to pay interest and other charges under our revolving credit facility. The lender and its agent must authorize all disbursements from these accounts, including any distributions to GWG Life or Holdings. Distributions are limited to an amount that would result in the borrowers (GWG DLP Funding II, LLC, GWG Life Settlements, LLC, and GWG Holdings, Inc.) realizing an annualized rate of return on the equity funded amount for such assets of not more than 18%, as determined by the agent. After such amount is reached, the credit agreement requires that excess funds be used to fund repayments or a reserve account in a certain amount before any additional distributions may be made. In the future, these arrangements may restrict the cash flows available for payment of principal and interest on our debt obligations.

Inflation
 
Changes in inflation do not necessarily correlate with changes in interest rates. We presently do not foresee any material impact of inflation on our results of operations in the periods presented in our consolidated financial statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
Operating Lease - We entered into an office lease with U.S. Bank National Association as the landlord. The lease was effective April 22, 2012 with a term through August 31, 2015. The lease is for 8,881 square feet of office space located at 220 South Sixth Street, Minneapolis, Minnesota. We are obligated to pay base rent plus common area maintenance and a share of the building operating costs. Minimum lease payments under the lease are as follows:

Credit Risk
 
We review the credit risk associated with our portfolio of life insurance policies when estimating its fair value. In evaluating the policies’ credit risk we consider insurance company solvency, credit risk indicators, economic conditions, ongoing credit evaluations, and company positions. We attempt to manage our credit risk related to life insurance policies typically by purchasing policies issued only from companies with an investment grade credit rating by either Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s, or A.M. Best Company.  As of September 30, 2013, 99.60% of our life insurance policies, by face value benefits, were issued by companies that maintained an investment grade rating (BBB- or better) by Standard & Poor’s.
 
Interest Rate Risk
 
Our credit facility is floating-rate financing. In addition, our ability to offer interest rates that attract capital (including in the offer and sale of Renewable Secured Debentures) is generally impacted by prevailing interest rates. Furthermore, while our other indebtedness provides us with fixed-rate financing, our debt coverage ratio is calculated in relation to our total cost of financing. Therefore, fluctuations in interest rates impact our business by increasing our borrowing costs, and reducing availability under our debt financing arrangements. Furthermore, we calculate our portfolio earnings based upon the spread generated between the return on our life insurance portfolio and the cost of our financing. As a result, increases in interest rates will reduce the earnings we expect to achieve from our investments in life insurance policies.
 
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
 
We use non-GAAP financial measures when evaluating our financial results, for planning and forecasting purposes, and for maintaining compliance with covenants contained in our borrowing agreements. Non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by management are provided as additional information to investors in order to provide them with an alternative method for assessing our financial condition and operating results. These non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies, including other companies within our industry.  This presentation of non-GAAP financial information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable amounts prepared in accordance with GAAP. See the notes to our consolidated financial statements and our audited financial statements contained herein.
 
We have elected to carry our investments in life insurance policies at fair value in accordance with ASC 325-30, Investments in Life Insurance Contracts. Accordingly, we value our investments in life insurance policies at the conclusion of each reporting period in accordance with GAAP fair value accounting principles.  In addition to GAAP, we are required to report non-GAAP financial measures to Autobahn/DZ Bank under certain financial covenants made to that lender under our revolving credit facility. As indicated above, we also use non-GAAP financial reporting to manage and evaluate the financial performance of our business.
  
GAAP-based fair value requires us to mark-to-market our investments in life insurance policies, which by its nature, is based upon Level 3 measurements that are unobservable.  As a result, this accounting treatment imports financial market volatility and subjective inputs into our financial reporting. We believe this type of accounting reporting is at odds with one of the key attractions for purchasing and owning a portfolio life insurance policies: The non-correlated nature of the returns to be derived from such policies. Therefore, in contrast to a GAAP-based fair valuation, we seek to measure the accrual of the actuarial gain occurring within the portfolio of life insurance policies at their expected internal rate of return based on statistical mortality probabilities for the insureds (using primarily the insured’s age, sex and smoking status). The expected internal rate of return tracks actuarial gain occurring within the policies according to a mortality table as the insureds’ age increases.  By comparing the actuarial gain accruing within our portfolio of life insurance policies against our costs during the same period, we can estimate, manage and evaluate the overall financial profitability of our business without regard to mark-to-market volatility. We use this information to balance our life insurance policy purchasing and manage our capital structure, including the issuance of debt and utilization of our other sources of capital, and to monitor our compliance with borrowing covenants. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide information that is useful for investors to understand period-over-period operating results separate and apart from fair value items that may, or could, have a disproportionately positive or negative impact on results in any particular period.

Our credit facility requires us to maintain a “positive net income” and “tangible net worth” each of which are calculated on an adjusted non-GAAP basis on the method described above, without regard to GAAP-based fair value measures.  In addition, our revolving credit facility requires us to maintain an “excess spread,” which is the difference between (i) the weighted average of our expected internal rate of return of our portfolio of life insurance policies and (ii) the weighted average of our credit facility’s interest rate.  These calculations are made using non-GAAP measures in the method described below, without regard to GAAP-based fair value measures.

In addition, our Renewable Secured Debentures and Series I subsidiary secured notes require us to maintain a “debt coverage ratio” designed to ensure that the expected cash flows from our portfolio of life insurance policies is able to adequately service our total outstanding indebtedness. In addition, our Renewable Secured Debentures requires us to maintain a “subordination ratio” which limits the total amount of indebtedness that can be issued senior in rank to the Renewable Secured Debentures and Series I subsidiary secured notes.  These ratios are calculated using non-GAAP measures in the method described below, without regard to GAAP-based fair value measures.

Adjusted Non-GAAP Net Income.  Our credit facility requires us to maintain a positive net income calculated on an adjusted non-GAAP basis. We calculate the adjusted net income by recognizing the actuarial gain accruing within our life insurance policies at the expected internal rate of return of the policies we own without regard to fair value.  We net this actuarial gain against our costs during the same period to calculate our net income on a non-GAAP basis.

Excess Spread. Our revolving credit facility requires us to maintain a 2.00% “excess spread” between our weighted-average expected internal rate of return of our portfolio of life insurance policies and the credit facility’s interest rate. A presentation of our excess spread and our total excess spread is set forth below. Management uses the “total excess spread” to gauge expected profitability of our investments, and uses the “excess spread” to monitor compliance with our borrowing.

Debt Coverage Ratio and Subordination Ratio. Our Renewable Secured Debentures and Series I subsidiary secured notes requires us to maintain a “debt coverage ratio” of less than 90%.  The “debt coverage ratio” is calculated by dividing the sum of our total indebtedness by the sum of our cash and cash equivalents and the net present value of the life insurance portfolio. The “subordination ratio” for our Renewable Secured Debentures is calculated by dividing the total indebtedness that is senior to Renewable Secured Debentures and Series I subsidiary secured notes by the sum of the company’s cash and cash equivalents and the net present value of the life insurance portfolio.  The “subordination ratio” must be less than 50%.  For purposes of both ratio calculations, the net present value of the life insurance portfolio is calculated using a discount rate equal to the weighted average interest rate of all indebtedness.

We track concentrations of pre-existing medical conditions among insured individuals within our portfolio based on information contained in life expectancy reports. We track these medical conditions with ten primary disease categories: (1) cardiovascular, (2) cerebrovascular, (3) dementia, (4) cancer, (5) diabetes, (6) respiratory disease, (7) neurological disorders, (8) other, no disease, or multiple. Our primary disease categories are summary generalizations based on the ICD-9 codes we track on each insured individuals within our portfolio.  ICD-9 codes, published by the World Health Organization, are used worldwide for medical diagnoses and treatment systems, as well as morbidity and mortality statistics. Currently, cardiovascular is the only primary disease category within our portfolio that represents a concentration over 10%.

The primary disease category represents a general category of impairment. Within the primary disease category, there are a multitude of sub-categorizations defined more specifically by ICD-9 codes. For example, a primary disease category of cardiovascular includes subcategorizations such as atrial fibrillation, heart valve replacement, coronary atherosclerosis, etc. In addition, individuals may have more than one ICD-9 code describing multiple medical conditions within one or more primary disease categories. Where an individual’s ICD-9 codes indicate medical conditions in more than one primary disease categories, we categorize the individual as having multiple primary disease categories. We expect to continue to develop and refine our identification and tracking on the insured individuals medical conditions as we manage our portfolio of life insurance policies.
 
The possible insolvency or loss by a life insurance company is a significant risk to our business. To manage this risk, we seek to purchase policies that are issued by insurance companies with investment-grade ratings from either A.M. Best, Moody’s or Standard & Poor’s. To further mitigate risk, we seek to limit the face value of policy benefits issued by any one life insurance company within the total portfolio to 20%. State guaranty funds generally guaranty policy benefits up to $200,000. In addition, to assure diversity and stability in our portfolio, we regularly review the various metrics of our portfolio relating to credit risk. We track industry rating agency reports and industry journals and articles in order to gain insight into possible financial problems of life insurance companies. Finally, we will only purchase those life insurance policies that meet the underwriting standards established in the indenture.

As of September 30, 2013,  99.60% of insurance companies in our portfolio hold an investment-grade rating by Standard & Poor’s (BBB- or better), and the face value of policy benefits issued by one life insurance company with in the portfolio was 16.21%.  Of the 40 insurance companies that insure the policies we own, ten companies insure approximately 74.07% of total face value of insurance benefits and the remaining thirty one insurance companies insure the remaining approximately 25.93% of total face value of insurance benefits. The concentration risk of our ten largest insurance company holdings as of September 30, 2013 is set forth in the table below.
