PROVIDENTIAL HOLDINGS, INC., AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS


Providential Holdings, Inc., ("PHI") is engaged in a number of business activities, the most important of which are merger and acquisition advisory services, real estate development, and mining. The Company acquires and consolidates special opportunities in selective industries to create additional value, acts as an incubator for emerging companies and technologies, and provides financial consultancy and M&A advisory services to U.S. and foreign companies.

 

INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. These statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2008.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal reoccurring accruals have been made to the financial statements.  The results of operation for the six months ended December 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2009.

 

USE OF ESTIMATES


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


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 quoted on either the “Pink Sheets” or the OTC Bulletin Board.   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 December 31, 2008, the marketable securities have been recorded at $2,820,366 based upon the fair value of the marketable securities.  (Note 4)


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, PHI Mining Group, Inc. (formerly DDC Industries, Inc.), 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, and Touchlink are inactive.


RECLASSIFICATIONS


Certain prior year items have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.




RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

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.

 

In June 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) No. 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities.” Under the FSP, unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to receive nonforfeitable dividends (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities, and should be included in the two-class method of computing EPS. This FSP is effective for us beginning July 1, 2009 and the Company does not expect that FSP EITF No. 03-6-1 would have a material impact on the financial statements.

 

NOTE 2 - 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.Providential Securities, Inc. was censured, fined $115,000 and required to offer rescission to those public customers who participated in the Providential Private Placement.  In addition, Henry Fahman was banned, in all capacities, from associating with any NASD member.


Based upon the above mentioned circumstances, Providential Securities, Inc. withdrew its membership from the NASD in October 2000 and ceased its securities brokerage operation.  The fine of $115,000 is included in accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.  The Company has offered all Preferred Stock holders rescission on their investment.  During the year ended June 30, 2004, $235,000 from the amount due to Preferred Stock Holders plus $105,600 in



related interest payable totaling $340,600 was paid either in cash or with the issuance of common stock.  The balance of unredeemed preferred shares and the related interest has been included in current liabilities on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES


The Company’s financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”).  GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenue and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in the external disclosures of the Company including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. Valuations based on estimates are reviewed by us for reasonableness and conservatism on a consistent basis throughout the Company. Primary areas where financial information of the Company is subject to the use of estimates, assumptions and the application of judgment include acquisitions, valuation of long-lived and intangible assets, recoverability of deferred tax and the valuation of shares issued for services.  We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.


Valuation of Long-Lived and Intangible Assets


The recoverability of long lived assets requires considerable judgment and is evaluated on an annual basis or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the assets may be impaired.  As it relates to definite life intangible assets, we apply the impairment rules as required by SFAS No. 121, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Assets to Be Disposed Of” as amended by SFAS No. 144, which also requires significant judgment and assumptions related to the expected future cash flows attributable to the intangible asset.  The impact of modifying any of these assumptions can have a significant impact on the estimate of fair value and, thus, the recoverability of the asset.


Income Taxes


We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities.  We regularly review our deferred tax assets for recoverability and establish a valuation




allowance based upon historical losses, projected future taxable income and the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences.  As of December 31, 2008, we estimated the allowance on net deferred tax assets to be one hundred percent of the net deferred tax assets.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


The following is a discussion and analysis of our results of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, our financial condition at December 31, 2008 and factors that we believe could affect our future financial condition and results of operations. Historical results may not be indicative of future performance.


This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“GAAP”). All references to dollar amounts in this section are in United States dollars.

The Company's operating activities used $411,596 and $652,187  in the six months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.  The difference is mainly attributable to the increase in activities of the Company.


Cash used in investing activities was $235,954 as compared to $73,392 for the six months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.  The difference is mainly attributable to the construction in progress of $443,710  which started in 2008 and purchase of marketable securities of $25,292 offset by proceed from sale of marketable securities of $268,840  in the period ended December 31, 2008, compared to purchase of marketable securities of $70,000 in the prior period.

The Company’s operations are currently financed through various loans and sale of marketable securities.  Management has taken action to strengthen the Company's working capital position and generate sufficient cash to meet its operating needs.  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 or that additional capital will be available on a timely basis or at acceptable terms.


COMPANY'S PLAN OF OPERATION FOR NEXT 12 MONTHS


After the divestiture of the Company’s Diva subsidiaries in June 2000 and the discontinuance of the  securities brokerage operations in October 2000, we have restructured and updated our primary scope of business to focus on  mergers and acquisitions, merger and acquisition advisory services, and investments in various businesses with potential for high growth.  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 central Vietnam,  including the Pointe 91 luxury hotel resort and premium residential community at Bien Rang and the free trade zone in Chu Lai, Nui Thanh District, Quang Nam Province, Vietnam through its majority owned subsidiary, PhiLand Corporation,  to develop the  mining business in Southeast Asia and other regions of the world through its majority owned subsidiary PHI Mining Group, Inc. , to engage in multimedia business serving overseas ethnic groups,  to pursue oil and gas transactions and alternative energy through Providential Energy Corporation and to engage in other special situations that may create value for the Company’s 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  3. 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 4 . CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure and Procedures 

As of December 31, 2008 , the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e). As of the end of the period covered by this report, based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that material information that  the Company must disclose in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the “Exchange Act”, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported on a timely basis, and that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.   

Changes in Internal Controls




There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during this fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1A.  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.


Acquisitions involve a number of special risks, including:

 

  

  

failure of the acquired business to achieve expected results;

 

  

  

diversion of management’s 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 December 31, 2008, in the aggregate, approximately 27% 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.

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.
