ITEM 1. BUSINESS OVERVIEW
INTRODUCTION
Providential Holdings, Inc., ("PHI") through its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries engages in a number of diverse business activities including merger and acquisition advisory services, independent energy, import and export, real estate development, fund management, and telecommunications and maintains minority interests in various companies operating in the areas of infrastructure, construction, natural resources, finance, manufacturing, services and retail. The Company provides financial consultancy and M&A advisory services to U.S. and foreign companies and invests in selective businesses that may create long-term shareholder value. No assurances can be made that management will be successful in achieving its plan.
BACKGROUND
Providential Holdings, Inc. ("PHI" or "Providential") was organized under the laws of the State of Nevada on June 8, 1982 under the name of JR Consulting, Inc. The Company changed its name to Providential Securities, Inc., a Nevada corporation, on January 12, 2000, and subsequently changed its name to Providential Holdings, Inc. on February 9, 2000. From its inception through September 7, 1995, the Company generated nominal revenues and did not actively engage in business. Prior to the corporate combination agreement with Providential Securities, Inc., JR Consulting had an operating subsidiary, Diva Entertainment, Inc ("Diva"), which operated two modeling agencies, one in New York and one in California.
Providential Securities, Inc., a California Corporation ("Providential Securities") was incorporated in the State of California on October 8, 1992. It operated a securities brokerage service in California, New York and Oregon. The principal markets for Providential Securities' services were individual investors who were located throughout the United States. Providential Securities bought and sold securities for its customers through a number of different markets, utilizing a brokerage clearinghouse to transact the trades. Due to the results of an NASD examination, Providential Securities withdrew its membership and ceased its securities brokerage business in October 2000.

4. Build an attractive investment that includes points of exit for investors through capital appreciation or spin-offs of business units.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
RISK FACTORS
Investment in our securities is subject to various risks, including risks and uncertainties inherent in our business. The following sets forth factors related to our business, operations, financial position or future financial performance or cash flows which could cause an investment in our securities to decline and result in a loss.
General Risks Related to Our Business
Our success depends on our management team and other key personnel, the loss of any of whom could disrupt our business operations.
Our future success will depend in substantial part on the continued service of our senior management and founder. The loss of the services of one or more of our key personnel could impede implementation and execution of our business strategy and result in the failure to reach our goals. We do not carry key person life insurance for any of our officers or employees. Our future success will also depend on the continued ability to attract, retain and motivate highly qualified personnel in the diverse areas required for continuing our operations. We cannot assure that we will be able to retain our key personnel or that we will be able to attract, train or retain qualified personnel in the future.
Our service strategy in merger and acquisition involves a number of risks and we have a limited history of successful acquisitions. Even when an acquisition is completed, we may have to continue our service for integration that may not produce results as positive as management may have projected.
The Company is in the process of evaluating various opportunities and negotiating to acquire other companies and technologies. Acquisitions entail numerous risks, including difficulties in the assimilation of acquired operations and products, diversion of management's attention from other business concerns, amortization of acquired intangible assets and potential loss of key employees of acquired companies. We have limited experience in assimilating acquired organizations into our operations. Although potential synergy may be achieved by acquisitions of related technologies and businesses, no assurance can be given as to the Company's ability to integrate successfully any operations, personnel, services or products that have been acquired or might be acquired in the future. Failure to successfully assimilate acquired organizations could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and operating results.
8
Acquisitions involve a number of special risks, including:
- failure of the acquired business to achieve expected results;
- diversion of managements attention;
- failure to retain key personnel of the acquired business;
- additional financing, if necessary and available, could increase leverage, dilute equity, or both;
- the potential negative effect on our financial statements from the increase in goodwill and other intangibles; and
- the high cost and expenses of completing acquisitions and risks associated with unanticipated events or liabilities.
These risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition since the values of the securities received for the consulting service at the execution of the acquisition depend on the success of the company involved in acquisition. In addition, our ability to further expand our operations through acquisitions may be dependent on our ability to obtain sufficient working capital, either through cash flows generated through operations or financing activities or both. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain any additional financing on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all.
Our businesses are currently focused in Vietnam, and any adverse change to the economy or business environment in Vietnam could significantly affect our operations, which would lead to lower revenues and reduced profitability.
Our operations are currently concentrated in Vietnam. Because of this concentration in a specific geographic location, we are susceptible to fluctuations in our business caused by adverse economic or other conditions in this region, including stock market fluctuation. A stagnant or depressed economy in Vietnam generally, or in any of the other markets that we serve, could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Risks Related to our Securities
Insiders have substantial control over the company, and they could delay or prevent a change in our corporate control, even if our other stockholders wanted such a change to occur.
Our executive officers/directors and principal stockholders who hold 5% or more of the outstanding common stock owned as of June 30, 2008, in the aggregate, approximately 26% of our outstanding common stock. These stockholders will be able to exercise significant control over all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. This could delay or prevent an outside party from acquiring or merging with us even if our other stockholders wanted it to occur.
In addition, the stock market often experiences significant price fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of the specific companies whose stock is traded. These market fluctuations could adversely affect the trading price of our shares.
The price at which investors purchase shares of our common stock may not be indicative of the price that will prevail in the trading market. Investors may be unable to sell their shares of common stock at or above their purchase price, which may result in substantial losses.
We do not meet the requirements for our stock to be quoted on NASDAQ, the American Stock Exchange or any other senior exchange, the tradability in our securities will be limited under the penny stock regulations.
Under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, if the price of our securities on the OTC Bulletin Board is below $5.00 per share, our securities are within the definition of a "penny stock." As a result, it is possible that our securities may be subject to the "penny stock" rules and regulations. Broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to certain types of investors are required to comply with the Commission's regulations concerning the transfer of penny stock.
9
These regulations require broker-dealers to:
*Make a suitability determination prior to selling penny stock to the purchaser;
*Receive the purchaser's written consent to the transaction; and
*Provide certain written disclosures to the purchaser.
These requirements may restrict the ability of broker/dealers to sell our securities, and may affect the ability to resell our securities.
Our compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and SEC rules concerning internal controls may be time consuming, difficult and costly for us.
It may be time consuming, difficult and costly for us to develop and implement the internal controls and reporting procedures required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We may need to hire additional financial reporting, internal controls and other finance staff in order to develop and implement appropriate internal controls and reporting procedures. If we are unable to comply with the internal controls requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, we may not be able to obtain the independent accountant certifications that the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires publicly-traded companies to obtain.

The Company generated net revenue of $3,609,318 from consulting and advisory services for the year ended June 30, 2008, as compared to $3,572,347for the year ended June 30, 2007, which represented a 1% increase in consulting and advisory revenue. This increase is mainly due to a slight increase in the size and scope of the merger and acquisition activities during the current year.
Operating Expenses:
The Company incurred total operating expenses of $1,658,534 for the year ended June 30, 2008 as compared to $4,109,367 for the year ended June 30, 2007. This represents a 60% decrease in operating expenses from the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to the impairment of assets recorded in the prior year.

The Companys professional fees have increased 58% to $778,440 for the year ended June 30, 2008 compared to $493,052 in the prior year. This is mainly due to an increase in legal fees as well as audit and accounting fees. Legal fees were increased by 112% from $64,900 in the prior year to $137,635 due to the fund raising activities in the current year; audit and accounting fees were increased by $115,157 in the current year due to a contract work provided by outside accounting firm related to due diligence service and hiring a contractor effective July 1, 2007.

COMPANY'S PLAN OF OPERATION FOR NEXT 12 MONTHS

For the next twelve months, the Company intends to emphasize on M&A advisory services for small and mid-sized companies in the US and the Pacific Rim, to focus on the development of the real estate program in Chu Lai and South Hoi An, central Vietnam, through PhiLand Corporation, , to develop a mining business in Southeast Asia through Indochina Mining Corporation, to advance Providential Vietnam Growth Fund, a Cayman Island-based private equity fund of which the Company is a general partner, to further develop the joint ventures in the cement and financial communications businesses with Cavico Vietnam, to pursue oil and gas transactions through Providential Energy Corporation and to engage in other special situations that may create value for the Companys shareholders. There is no guaranty that the Company will be successful in any of its plans.
FINANCIAL PLANS
Management has taken action and is formulating additional plans to strengthen the Company's working capital position and generate sufficient cash to meet its operating needs through June 30, 2009 and beyond. Among the actions to be taken, the Company intends to raise additional capital from the US and international markets and is currently in the process of attaining additional financing. In addition, the Company also anticipates generating more revenue through its proposed mergers and acquisitions. No assurances can be made that management will be successful in achieving its plan.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The following discussion about Providential Holdings Inc.s market risk involves forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements.
Currency Fluctuations and Foreign Currency Risk
Some of our operations are conducted in Vietnam using Vietnamese Dong, which is the official currency of Vietnam. The effect of the fluctuations of exchange rates is considered minimal to our business operations.
Interest Rate Risk
We do not have significant interest rate risk, as most of our debt obligations are primarily short-term in nature to individuals, with fixed interest rates.
Valuation of Securities Risk
Since majority of our income is paid with the marketable securities, the value of our assets may fluctuate significantly depending on the market value of the securities we hold.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Providential Holdings, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Providential Holdings, Inc. (a Nevada corporation) and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2008, and 2007 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audit of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Providential Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2008, and the results of its consolidated operations and its cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The Company's financial statements are prepared using the generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has accumulated deficit of $14,990,621 and negative cash flow from operations amounting $1,782,930, for the year ended June 30, 2008. These factors as discussed in Note 19 to the consolidated financial statements raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 19. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Providential Holdings, Inc., and its subsidiaries, Providential Securities, Inc., Providential Capital, PHI Digital Inc., (PHI Digital), Provimex, Providential Energy Corporation (formerly Providential Oil & Gas, Inc.) Touchlink, IndoChina Mining Corporation, PhiLand Corporation and Providential Vietnam collectively referred to as the "Company". All significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Providential Securities, Inc, PHI Digital, Provimex, Providential Energy Corporation, Touchlink and IndoChina Mining Corporation are inactive.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase that are readily convertible into cash to be cash equivalents.
MARKETABLE SECURITIES
The Company's securities are classified as available-for-sale and, as such, are carried at fair value. Securities classified as available-for-sale may be sold in response to changes in interest rates, liquidity needs, and for other purposes.
Each investment in marketable securities represents less than twenty percent (20%) of the outstanding common stock and stock equivalents of the investee, and each security is nationally quoted on the National Association of Securities Dealers OTC Bulletin Board ("OTC:BB") or Pink Sheets. As such, each investment is accounted for in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 115. Unrealized holding gains and losses for available-for-sale securities are excluded from earnings and reported as a separate component of stockholder's equity. Realized gains and losses for securities classified as available-for-sale are reported in earnings based upon the adjusted cost of the specific security sold. On June 30, 2008 and 2007, the marketable securities have been recorded at $4,435,938 and $9,666,942, respectively based upon the fair value of the marketable securities.

PROVIDENTIAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves. Reserves are recorded primarily on a specific identification basis.
As of June 30, 2008, the Company had a balance of $3,196,369 as accounts receivable which includes the securities receivable of $3,000,000 at the fair market value of shares at the date of the merger consummated on June 30, 2008.
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS 144"), which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets and supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations for a Disposal of a Segment of a Business." The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used in accordance with SFAS 144. SFAS 144 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amounts. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived assets. Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that fair market values are reduced for the cost of disposal.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Maintenance and repair costs are charged to expense as incurred; costs of major additions and betterments are capitalized. When property and equipment are sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in income. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from three to ten years.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION
The cost of property and equipment is depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Depreciation and amortization of fixed assets are computed on a straight-line basis.
NET EARNINGS PER SHARE
The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings per Share ("SFAS No. 128"). SFAS No. 128 eliminates the presentation of primary and fully diluted earnings per share ("EPS") and requires presentation of basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period and common stock equivalents outstanding at the end of the period.
The Company has the following dilutive stock options and warrants as of June 30, 2008 and 2007 .

Effective July 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS 123R and accordingly has adopted the modified prospective application method. Under this method, SFAS 123R is applied to new awards and to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled after the effective date. Additionally, compensation cost for the portion of awards that are outstanding as of the date of adoption for which the requisite service has not been rendered (such as unvested options) is recognized over a period of time as the remaining requisite services are rendered.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Statement of financial accounting standard No. 107, Disclosures about fair value of financial instruments, requires that the Company disclose estimated fair values of financial instruments. The carrying amounts reported in the statements of financial position for current assets and current liabilities qualifying as financial instruments are a reasonable estimate of fair value.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company's revenue recognition policies are in compliance with Staff accounting bulletin (SAB) 104. The Company recognizes consulting and advisory fee revenues when the transaction is completed and the service fees are earned. Expenses are recognized in the period in which the corresponding liability is incurred. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are recorded as unearned revenue.
ADVERTISING
The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising costs for the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were $10,759 and $25,682 respectively.

PROVIDENTIAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income ("SFAS No. 130"), establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income is defined to include all changes in equity, except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Among other disclosures, SFAS No. 130 requires that all items that are required to be recognized under current accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. During the year ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company recorded $5,768,847 as unrealized loss and $1,418,377 as unrealized gain on marketable securities, respectively. Other comprehensive income and loss, as presented on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets amounted $1,522,997 loss and $4,245,850 gain as of June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Deferred taxes are provided on the liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
REPORTING OF SEGMENTS
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information ("SFAS No. 131"), which supersedes Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 14, Financial Reporting for Segments of a Business Enterprise, establishes standards for the way that public enterprises report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires reporting of selected information about operating segments in interim financial statements regarding products and services, geographic areas and major customers. SFAS No. 131 defines operating segments as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company operates in one segment during the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.
RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to certain risks and uncertainties. The Company provides its service and receives marketable securities upon execution of transactions. Consequently, the value of the securities received from customers can be affected by economic fluctuations and each customer's business growth. The actual realized value of these securities could be significantly different than recorded value.
RECLASIFICATIONS
For comparative purposes, prior year's consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to report classifications of the current year.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2007, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. EITF 07-3, Accounting for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services Received for use in Future Research and Development Activities (FSP EITF 07-3), which addresses whether nonrefundable advance payments for goods or services that used or rendered for research and development activities should be expensed when the advance payment is made or when the research and development activity has been performed. Management is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on the consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007), Business Combinations. The objective of this statement will significantly change the accounting for business combinations. Under Statement 141R, an acquiring entity will be required to recognize all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at the acquisition date fair value with limited exceptions. Statement 141 applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 141R to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements-An Amendment of ARB No. 51". The objective of this statement is to establish new accounting and reporting standards for the Noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary.. Statement 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 160 to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133, which requires additional disclosures about the objectives of the derivative instruments and hedging activities, the method of accounting for such instruments under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations, and a tabular disclosure of the effects of such instruments and related hedged items on our financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 161 to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In May 2008, FASB issued SFASB No.162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The pronouncement mandates the GAAP hierarchy reside in the accounting literature as opposed to the audit literature. This has the practical impact of elevating FASB Statements of Financial Accounting Concepts in the GAAP hierarchy. This pronouncement will become effective 60 days following SEC approval. The Company does not believe this pronouncement will impact its financial statements.
In May 2008, FASB issued SFASB No. 163, Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60. The scope of the statement is limited to financial guarantee insurance (and reinsurance) contracts. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2008. The Company does not believe this pronouncement will impact its financial statements.
NOTE 3 - NASD EXAMINATION AND DISCONTINUANCE OF PROVIDENTIAL SECURITIES, INC.
After the completion of a routine audit of Providential Securities, Inc. ("Providential") in July and August 2000, the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. alleged that Providential violated certain provisions of the NASD's Conduct Rules 2120, 2330, 2110 and 3010, and Rules 15c2-4, 10b-5, 10b-9 and 15c3-3 of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Providential Securities, Inc. and Henry Fahman voluntarily submitted a Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent ("AWC",), which was accepted by NASD Regulation, Inc. on October 27, 2000.
