NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1NATURE OF BUSINESS

 

PHI Group, Inc. (the “Company” or “PHI”) is a Nevada corporation engaged in mergers and acquisitions as a principal (www.phiglobal.com). The Company has adopted plans to acquire established operating businesses in selective industries and invest in various ventures that may potentially create significant long-term value for our shareholders. In addition, we also provide corporate finance services, including merger and acquisition advisory and consulting services for client companies through our wholly owned subsidiary PHI Capital Holdings, Inc. (www.phicapitalholdings.com). No assurances can be made that the Company will be successful in achieving its plans.

 

Originally incorporated in June 1982 as JR Consulting, Inc., the Company was foremost engaged in mergers and acquisitions and had an operating subsidiary, Diva Entertainment, Inc., which operated two modeling agencies, one in New York and one in California. Following the business combination with Providential Securities, Inc., a California-based brokerage firm, in late 1999, the Company changed its name to Providential Securities, Inc. (Nevada) in January 2000. The Company then changed its name to Providential Holdings, Inc. in February 2000. In October 2000, Providential Securities withdrew its securities brokerage membership and ceased its financial services business. Subsequently, in April 2009, the Company changed its name to PHI Group, Inc. From October 2000 to October 2011, the Company was engaged in mergers and acquisitions advisory and consulting services, real estate and hospitality development, mining, oil and gas, telecommunications, technology, healthcare, private equity, and special situations. In October 2011, the Company discontinued the operations of Providential Vietnam Ltd., Philand Ranch Limited, a United Kingdom corporation, (together with its subsidiaries Philand Ranch - Singapore, Philand Corporation (US), and Philand Vietnam Ltd.), PHI Gold Corporation (formerly PHI Mining Corporation), and PHI Energy Corporation, and began to mainly focus on acquisition and development opportunities in energy and natural resource businesses. The Company has recently expanded its scope of acquisitions to include other industries besides energy and natural resources. In addition, PHI Capital Holdings, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of PHI, continues to provide corporate and project finance services, including merger and acquisition (M&A) advisory and consulting services and arranging capital for other companies in a variety of industries.

 

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PHI Group, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiaries PHI Capital Holdings, Inc., Abundant Farms, Inc., American Pacific Resources, Inc. and its discontinued operations Providential Securities, Inc., PHI Energy Corporation, PHI Gold Corp, Providential Vietnam Ltd. and Philand Ranch Limited (including its 100% owned subsidiary Philand Corporation and Philand Vietnam Ltd) and Omni Resources, Inc., collectively referred to as the “Company.” All significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

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, 2016. 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 three and nine months ended March 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2017.

 

 6 

 

 

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

 

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.

 

Typically, 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 OTC Markets or other public exchanges. 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 March 31, 2017, the marketable securities have been recorded at $579,266 based upon the fair value of the marketable securities.

 

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

Fair Value - Definition and Hierarchy

 

Fair value is defined as 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.

A fair value hierarchy for inputs is 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 are to be used when available.

 

Valuation techniques that are consistent with the market or income approach are used to measure fair value. The fair value hierarchy is categorized into three levels based on the inputs as follows:

 

Level 1 - Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access.

 

Level 2 - Valuations based on inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly.

 

Level 3 - Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

 

Fair value is a market-based measure, based on assumptions of prices and inputs considered from the perspective of a market participant that are current as of the measurement date, rather than an entity-specific measure. Therefore, even when market assumptions are not readily available, the Company’s own assumptions are set to reflect those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. The availability of valuation techniques and observable inputs can vary from investment to investment and are affected by a wide variety of factors, including; type of investment, whether the investment is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the transaction.

 

 7 

 

 

To the extent that valuation is based upon models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may be materially higher or lower than the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Fund in determining fair value is greatest for investments categorized in Level 3. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based upon the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

Fair Value - Valuation Techniques and Inputs

 

The Company holds and may invest in public securities traded on public exchanges or over-the-counter (OTC), private securities, real estate, convertible securities, interest bearing securities and other types of securities and has adopted specific techniques for their respective valuations.

 

Equity Securities in Public Companies

 

Unrestricted

 

The Company values investments in securities that are freely tradable and listed on major securities exchanges at their last reported sales price as of the valuation date. To the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

Securities traded on inactive markets or valued by reference to similar instruments are generally categorized in Level 2 or 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

Restricted

 

Securities traded on public exchanges or over-the-counter (OTC) where there are formal restrictions that limit (i.e. Rule 144 holding periods and underwriter’s lock-ups) their sale shall be valued at the closing price on the date of valuation less applicable discounts. The Company may apply a discount to securities with Rule 144 restrictions. Additional discounts may be assessed if the Company believes there are other mitigating factors, which warrant the additional discounting. When determining potential additional discounts, factors that will be taken into consideration include, but are not limited to; securities’ trading characteristics, volume, length and overall impact of the restriction as well as other macro-economic factors. Valuations should be discounted appropriately until the securities may be freely traded.

 

If it has been determined that the exchange or OTC listed price does not accurately reflect fair market value, the Company may elect to treat the security as a private company and apply an alternative valuation method.

 

Investments in restricted securities of public companies may be included in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. However, to the extent that significant inputs used to determine liquidity discounts are not observable, investments in restricted securities in public companies may be categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

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.

 

 8 

 

 

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

 

Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts. As of March 31, 2017, the Company did not have any accounts receivable.

 

PROPERTIES AND EQUIPMENT

 

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.

 

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.

 

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

Effective July 1, 2006, the Company adopted ASC 718-10-25 (previously SFAS 123R) and accordingly has adopted the modified prospective application method. Under this method, ASC 718-10-25 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.

 

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.

In the event the pricing period has been complete, any shares above the suspension price due to the Investor shall be sold to the Investor by the Company at the suspension price under the terms of the Investment Agreement. The suspension price for a put may not be changed by the Company once submitted to the Investor.

 

There are put restrictions applied on days between the draw down notice date and the closing date with respect to that particular put. During such time, the Company shall not be entitled to deliver another draw down notice. In addition, the Investor will not be obligated to purchase shares if the Investor’s total number of shares beneficially held at that time would exceed 4.99% of the number of shares of the Company’s common stock as determined in accordance with Rule 13d-1(j) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In addition, the Company is not permitted to draw on the facility unless there is an effective registration statement to cover the resale of the shares.

 

The Investment Agreement also contains customary representations and warranties of each of the parties. The assertions embodied in those representations and warranties were made for purposes of the Investment Agreement and are subject to qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating the terms of the Investment Agreement. The Investment Agreement further provides that the Company and the Investor are each entitled to customary indemnification from the other for, among other things, any losses or liabilities they may suffer as a result of any breach by the other party of any provisions of the Investment Agreement or Registration Rights Agreement (as defined below). Investor should read the Investment Agreement together with the other information concerning the Company that the Company publicly files in reports and statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company is obligated to file one or more registrations statements with the SEC within twenty-one (21) days after the date of the Registration Rights Agreement to register the resale by the Investor of the shares of common stock issued or issuable under the Investment Agreement.

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 March 31, 2017, 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 nine-month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, our financial condition at March 31, 2017 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.

 

Three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016

 

Total Revenues:

 

The Company had no revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 as compared to $97,350 in revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, a decrease of $97,350 between the two periods. The reason for the decrease in revenues between the two periods was due to the Company’s focus on new business development and not providing consulting services during the current quarter.

 

Operating Costs and Expenses:

 

Total operating expenses were $138,774 and $141,951 for the three months ended March 31, 2017, and 2016, respectively.

 

Income (Loss) from Operations:

 

Loss from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was $138,774, as compared to a loss from operations of $44,601 for the previous period ended March 31, 2016. The variance in the loss from operations between the two periods was due to the fact that there was no revenue generated during the current quarter while the operating expenses for both periods were comparable.

 

Other Income and Expenses:

 

Net other expenses were $170,445 for the three months ended March 31, 2017, as compared to net other expenses of $132,347 for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The increase in other expenses of $38,098 between the two periods was mainly due to an increase of $86,587 in net interest expenses, offset by an increase of $73,837 in net gain on sale of marketable securities, and an increase of $25,348 in prepayment penalty expense in the current period as compared to the corresponding period ended March 31, 2016.

 

Interest expenses were $157,107 and $70,520 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

 

Net Income (Loss):

 

Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was $309,219, as compared to net loss of $176,948 for the same period in 2016, which is equivalent to ($0.03) per share for the current period and ($0.04) for the corresponding period ended March 31, 2016, based on the weighted average number of basic and diluted shares outstanding at the end of each corresponding period.

 

 28 

 

 

Nine months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2016

 

Total Revenues:

 

The Company had $90,000 in revenue from consulting services for the nine months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to $332,050 in revenue for the nine months ended March 31, 2016, a decrease of $242,050 between the two periods. The reason for the decrease in revenues between the two nine-month periods was due to the fact the Company focused more on new business development and did not generate consulting services during the current quarter.

 

Operating Costs and Expenses:

 

Total operating expenses were $491,636 and $361,048 for the nine months ended March 31, 2017, and 2016, respectively. The variance of $130,588 in operating expenses between the two periods was primarily due to an increase in professional services of $69,017 and an increase in general and administrative expenses in the amount of $62,071 between the current nine-month period as compared to the corresponding period in 2016.

 

Income (Loss) from Operations:

 

Loss from operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2017 was $401,636, as compared to a loss from operations of $28,998 for the previous corresponding period ended March 31, 2016.

 

Other Income and Expenses:

 

Net other expenses were $543,398 for the nine months ended March 31, 2017, as compared to net other expenses of $100,571 for the nine months ended March 31, 2016. The variance between the two periods was mainly due to an increase in interest expenses of $150,846 and a decrease in net gain on sale of marketable securities of $116,720 between the current nine-month period ended March 31, 2017 and the corresponding nine-month period ended March 31, 2016, as well as a loss of $131,818 on settlement of debts, a loss of $20,011 on sale of assets, and prepayment penalties of $25,348 during the current nine-month period.

 

Interest expenses were $380,870 and $230,025 for the nine months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

 

Net Income (Loss):

 

Net loss for the nine months ended March 31, 2017 was $945,035, as compared to net los of $100,571 for the corresponding nine-month period in 2016, which is equivalent to ($0.08) per share for the current period and ($0.03) per share for the corresponding period ended March 31, 2016, based on the weighted average number of basic and diluted shares outstanding at the end of each corresponding period.

 

CASH FLOWS

 

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents balance were $3,658 and $11,139 as of March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016, respectively.

This represents a variance of $382,532 in net cash used in operating activities between the two periods. The underlying reason for the variance was primarily due to an increase in net loss from operations of $815,467, an increase in other assets and prepaid expenses of $131,372, and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $1,329,369 between the nine-month period ended March 31, 2017 and the corresponding nine-month period ended March 31, 2016.

Net cash provided by investing activities during the nine-month period ended March 31, 2017 was $82,733, as compared to net cash used in investing activities of $149,509 during the nine-month period ended March 31, 2016, respectively.

 

Cash provided by financing activities was $1,037,878 for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2017, as compared to cash provided by financing activities in the amount of $1,651,591 for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2016. The primary underlying reasons for the variance of ($613,713) in cash provided by financing activities between the two nine-month periods were due to a decrease in changes in common stock and paid-in capital in the amount ($849,532), an increase in accumulative other comprehensive income of $245,052, an increase in common stock to be cancelled in the amount of ($90,000), an increase in Treasury Stock of ($6,342), and a change in accumulated deficit of $87,108.

EB-5 IMMIGRATION INVESTOR PROGRAM

 

The Company has filed an I-924 application with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) for the PHI Group EB5 Regional Center, LLC in order to raise capital through the EB-5 Immigration Investor Program in connection with the Company’s organic farming program, Abundant Farms, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and other potential business activities in the State of Florida. Under the EB-5 Program, created by Congress to stimulate the U.S. economy through job creation and capital investment, foreign entrepreneurs (and their spouses and unmarried children under 21) are eligible to apply for a Green Card (permanent residence) if they make the necessary investment in a commercial enterprise in the United States that creates or preserves at least 10 permanent, full-time jobs for qualified U.S. workers. The operation of this Regional Center is subject to the review and approval of United States Citizenship and Immigration Service.

 

COMPANY’S PLAN OF OPERATION FOR THE FOLLOWING 12 MONTHS

 

In the next twelve months the Company intends to continue pursuing its merger and acquisition program by acquiring all or controlling interests in target companies in a number of industries, including but not limited to conventional energy, renewables, natural resources, agribusiness, technology, transportation, education, distribution, mining, oil & gas, financial Services, healthcare, and pharmaceuticals. In addition, the Company also plans to invest in special situations that may potentially generate significant revenues and profitability for the Company in the short term. We believe that by closing one or more of the contemplated acquisitions we will be able to build a critical mass and uplist to the Nasdaq Stock Market or NYSE in the near future. Moreover, we will continue to provide advisory and consulting services to international clients through our wholly owned subsidiary PHI Capital Holdings, Inc. The Company anticipates generating substantial amounts of revenues through the merger and acquisition program, investment in special situations, and advisory services mentioned herein. However, no assurances could be made that management would be successful in achieving its plan. The president and chairman of the Company has committed to funding the Company’s operations from various sources for the next 12 months.

 

FINANCIAL PLANS

 

MATERIAL CASH REQUIREMENTS: We must raise substantial amounts of capital to fulfill our plan of acquiring energy-related and natural resource assets as part of our scope of business. We intend to use equity, debt and project financing to meet our capital needs for acquisitions.

 

Management has taken action and formulated plans to strengthen the Company’s working capital position and generate sufficient cash to meet its operating needs through June 30, 2017 and beyond. The working capital cash requirements for the next 12 months are expected to be generated from operations, sale of marketable securities and additional financing. The Company plans to generate revenues from its consulting services, merger and acquisition advisory services, and acquisitions of target companies with cash flows.

 

AVAILABLE FUTURE FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS: The Company may use various sources of funds, including short-term loans, long-term debt, equity capital, and project financing as may be necessary. The Company believes it will be able to secure the required capital to implement its business plan; however, no assurances could be made that management would be successful in achieving its plan.

 

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 other countries whose official currencies are not U.S. dollars. However, the effect of the fluctuations of exchange rates is considered minimal to our business operations.

 

 32 

 

 

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

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), our management carried out an evaluation, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act), as of the period covered by this report. Disclosure controls and procedures are defined as controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed with the SEC under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon their evaluation, our management (including our Chief Executive Officer) concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2017, based on the material weaknesses defined below.

 

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control of Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a set of processes designed by, or under the supervision of, a company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that:

 

  - pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and dispositions of our assets,
     
  - provide reasonable assurance that our transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of our financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors, and
     
  - provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of authorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. It should be noted that any system of internal control, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system will be met. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the Company’s management assessed the design and operating effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2017 based on the framework set forth in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

 

 33 

 

 

We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting:

 

  (i) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives;
     
  (ii) ineffective controls over period-end financial disclosure and reporting processes.

 

If we fail to develop and maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results in a timely manner, which may adversely affect investor confidence in our company.

 

Based on this assessment, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of March 31, 2017.

 

Management’s Remediation Plan

 

We plan to take steps to enhance and improve the design of our internal control over financial reporting. During the period covered by this annual report on Form 10-K, we have not been able to remediate the material weaknesses identified above. To remediate such weaknesses, we plan to implement the following changes in the future:

 

(i)

appoint additional qualified personnel to address inadequate segregation of duties and ineffective risk management; and

   
(ii) adopt sufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting.

 

The remediation efforts set out in (i) are largely dependent upon our company securing additional financing to cover the costs of implementing the changes required. If we are unsuccessful in securing such funds, remediation efforts may be adversely affected in a material manner. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.

 

Management believes that despite our material weaknesses set forth above, our consolidated financial statements for the quarterly report ended March 31, 2017 are fairly stated, in all material respects, in accordance with US GAAP.

 

Attestation Report of the Registered Accounting Firm

 

This Quarterly Report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to Rule 308(b) of Regulation S-K, which permits the Company to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

No changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting have come to management’s attention during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2017 that have materially affected, or are likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

Other than as set forth below, Company is not a party to any material pending legal proceedings and, to the best of its knowledge, no such action by or against Company has been threatened.

 

LEGAL PROCEEDING SETTLED AND UNPAID AS OF MARCH 31, 2017:

 

QUANG VAN CAO AND NHAN THI NGUYEN CAO VS. PROVIDENTIAL SECURITIES, INC. ET AL.

 

This case was originally submitted to Orange County Superior Court, CA on June 25, 1997, Case No. 781121, and subsequently moved to NASD Dispute resolution for arbitration. On or about August 24, 2000, the Company’s legal counsel negotiated with the Claimant’s counsel and unilaterally reached a settlement that had not been approved by the Company.

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. 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 strategy in mergers and acquisitions 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, assets 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.

 

As some of our business activities are currently involved with Southeast Asia, any adverse change to the economy or business environment in these countries could significantly affect our operations, which would lead to lower revenues and reduced profitability.

 

Some of our business activities are currently involved with Southeast Asia. Because of this presence in specific geographic locations, 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 these countries generally, or in any of the other markets that we serve, could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

Risks associated with energy business

 

As part of our core business involves acquisitions of energy assets as well as production and trading of energy commodities, our profitability will depend on the prices we receive for energy commodities such as coal and wood pellets. These prices are dependent upon factors beyond our control, including: the strength of the global economy; the demand for electricity; the global supply of thermal coal and biomass products; weather patterns and natural disasters; competition within our industry and the availability and price of alternatives, including natural gas; the proximity, capacity and cost of transportation; coal industry capacity; domestic and foreign governmental regulations and taxes, including those establishing air emission standards for coal-fueled power plants or mandating increased use of electricity from renewable energy sources; regulatory, administrative and judicial decisions, including those affecting future mining permits; and technological developments, including those intended to convert coal-to-liquids or gas and those aimed at capturing and storing carbon dioxide.

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.

 

Though our executive officers and directors as of March 31, 2017, in the aggregate, only hold less than 50% of our outstanding common stock, our Board of Directors is able to decide the rights and terms associated with the Company’s Preferred Stock, which decision may allow the Board of Directors 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.

 

The price at which investors purchase our common stock may not be indicative of the prevailing market price.

 

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. Investors may be unable to sell their shares of common stock at or above their purchase price, which may result in substantial losses.

 

Since we do not currently meet the requirements for our stock to be quoted on NASDAQ, NYSE MKT LLC 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 OTCQB or OTC Markets 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.

 

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.
