PHI GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS
PHI GROUP, INC. (formerly Providential Holdings, Inc.), ("PHI") is engaged in a number of business activities, specifically 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.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PHI Group, Inc., and its subsidiaries, Providential Securities, Inc., PHI Capital Holdings, Inc., Provimex, Inc., PHI Energy Corporation (formerly Providential Energy Corporation), Touchlink Communications, PHI Gold Corporation (formerly PHI Mining Group), Providential Vietnam Ltd., and PhiLand Ranch Limited, collectively referred to as the "Company". All significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Providential Securities, Inc., Provimex, Inc., PHI Energy Corporation, and Touchlink Communications are inactive.
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, 2010. 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, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2011.
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.
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
Page 8 of NUMPAGES 34
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, 2010, the marketable securities have been recorded at $174,650 based upon the fair value of the marketable securities. (Note 4)
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are categorized based on whether or not the inputs are observable in the market and the degree that the inputs are observable. The categorization of financial assets and liabilities within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The Company's financial instruments primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, marketable securities, and accounts payable.
As of the balance sheet dates, the estimated fair values of the financial instruments were not materially different from their carrying values as presented on the balance sheet. This is primarily attributed to the short maturities of these instruments.
PROPERTIES AND EQUIPMENTS
Property and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets from three to five years. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
DERIVATIVES
Derivative instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities and are measured at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative depends on the intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company's revenue recognition policies are in compliance with ASC 13 (previously 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.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Page 9 of NUMPAGES 34
In April 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-13 (ASU 2010-13), "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718)." This Update provides amendments to Topic 718 to clarity that an employee share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which a substantial portion of the entity's equity securities trades should not be considered to contain a condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition. Therefore, an entity would not classify such an award as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as equity. The amendments in ASU 2010-13 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The provisions of ASU 2010-13 are not expected to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In July 2010, the FASB issued an accounting update to provide guidance to enhance disclosures related to the credit quality of a company's financing receivables portfolio and the associated allowance for credit losses. Pursuant to this accounting update, a company is required to provide a greater level of disaggregated information about its allowance for credit loss with the objective of facilitating users' evaluation of the nature of credit risk inherent in the company's portfolio of financing receivables, how that risk is analyzed and assessed in arriving at the allowance for credit losses, and the changes and reasons for those changes in the allowance for credit losses. The revised disclosures as of the end of the reporting period are effective for the Company beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2011, and the revised discourses related to activities during the reporting period are effective for the Company beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2011. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this accounting update on its financial disclosures.
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. Without admitting or denying any of the allegations, 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 and ceased its securities brokerage operation in October 2000. 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.

NOTE 4- MARKETABLE EQUITY SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE
The Company’s marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale and, as such, are carried at fair value. All of the securities are comprised of shares of common stock of the investee. 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.

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, 2010, 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, 2010 and 2009, our financial condition at December 31, 2010 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”).

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The following discussion about PHI Group 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 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.
Page 31 of NUMPAGES 34
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, 2010, in the aggregate, approximately 28% 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.
Page 32 of NUMPAGES 34
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.
