PHI GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS

 

Established in June 1982, PHI Group, Inc. (the “Company” or “PHI”) is a Nevada corporation primarily engaged in conventional energy and renewables (www.phiglobal.com). The Company has signed an agreement to acquire a 50.90% equity interest in Pacific Petro Commercial Joint Stock Company (aka Pacific Petro Trading Corporation), a Vietnamese company engaged in liquefied petroleum gas (www.pacificpetro.com.vn). The Company has also approved a plan to spin off its mining, mineral and other natural resource activities into American Pacific Resources, Inc., a Wyoming corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of PHI.

 

The Company, originally incorporated under the name of JR Consulting, Inc., was initially 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 investment in 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 and Philand Vietnam Ltd.), PHI Gold Corporation (formerly PHI Mining Corporation), and PHI Energy Corporation, and have since mainly focused on energy business and natural resources, including investing in and/or developing energy assets, independent power plant projects, renewable energy, industrial minerals, and international trade. PHI Capital Holdings, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, provided corporate and project finance services, including merger and acquisition (M&A) advisory and consulting services and arranging capital for companies in a variety of industries.

 

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PHI Group, Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiary PHI Capital Holdings, its majority-owned subsidiary Cornerstone Biomass Corporation, and the discontinued operations Providential Securities, Inc., 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.

 

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, 2015. 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, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2016.

 

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 “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 March 31, 2016, the marketable securities have been recorded at $375,850 based upon the fair value of the marketable securities. (Note 3)

 

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.

 

 

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.

 

 

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.

 

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.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Management has taken action to strengthen the Company’s working capital position and generate sufficient cash to meet its operating needs through June 30, 2016 and beyond. In the next twelve months, the Company intends to focus on closing the acquisition of a majority interest in Pacific Petro Commercial Joint Stock Company in Vietnam, acquiring a wood pellet plant in Alabama, U.S.A., implementing the reclamation sand business in Southeast Asia, and engaging in international trade involving energy products and industrial commodities. The Company will also use its best efforts to acquire energy-related and natural resource assets and carry out various business cooperation and investment agreements that have been signed with certain international partners. The Company anticipates generating meaningful revenues through the acquisition of Pacific Petro Commercial Joint Stock Company, the wood pellet plant in Alabama, the reclamation sand business, and certain activities in the area of natural resources and international trade. The president and chairman of the Company has committed to funding the Company’s operations from various sources for the next 12 months. The Company also continues to seek financing in order to implement its business plan. However, no assurances could be made that management would be successful in achieving its plan.

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, 2016, 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, 2016 and 2015, our financial condition at December 31, 2015 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, 2016 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2015

 

Total Revenues:

 

The Company had $97,350 in revenue from consulting services for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 as compared to $16,000 in revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, an increase of $81,350 between the two periods.

 

Operating Costs and Expenses:

 

Total operating expenses were $141,951 and $125,749 for the three months ended March 31, 2016, and 2015, respectively.

 

The variance of $16,202 in operating expenses between the two periods was due to an increase in professional services of $19,251, offset by a decrease in general and administrative expenses of $3,049 during the quarter ended March 31, 2016 compared to the corresponding period in 2015. General and administrative expenses were $29,951 and $32,999 for the three months ended March 31, 2016, and 2015, respectively. The decrease in general and administrative expenses between the two comparable periods was primarily due to a decrease in filing fees of $2,296, a decrease in transfer agent fees for the Company and our clients of $7,275, a decrease in travel expense of $3,513, offset by an increase of $9,662 in advertising expenses, respectively.

 

 

Other Income and Expenses:

 

Net other expenses were $132,346 for the three months ended March 31, 2016, as compared to $146,788 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The decrease in other expenses of $14,442 between the two periods was mainly due to a decrease in interest expense of $10,857, offset by an increase of $22,541 of loss on sale of marketable securities and a decrease in loss on settlement of debts $26,125.

 

Interest expenses were $70,520 and $81,377 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

Net Income (Loss):

 

Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $176,948, as compared to a net loss of $256,537 for the same period in 2015, which is equivalent to ($0.04) per share for both periods, based on the weighted average number of basic and diluted shares outstanding at the end of each corresponding period after adjusting for the 1 for 1,500 reverse split effected on March 15, 2012.

 

The reduction in net loss of $78,589 between the two comparable periods is primarily due to an increase of $81,350 in revenue, offset by an increase of $16,202 in total operating expenses, and a decrease in other expense of $14,442.

 

Nine months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2015

 

Total Revenues:

 

The Company had $332,050 in revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2016, as compared to $31,096 of revenues for same nine-month period ended 2015, an increase of $219,604 between the two periods. The revenue increase was due to additional consulting services rendered in the current period.

 

Operating Costs and Expenses:

 

Total operating expenses were $361,048 and $308,519 for the nine months ended March 31, 2016, and 2015, respectively. The increase in total operating expenses of $52,529 during the current nine-month period is primarily due to an increase in professional services in the amount of $47,323 and an increase in general and administrative expenses of $5,206, as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2015. Salaries and wages of $157,500 were the same for both periods. There was a total of $120,311 in professional services during the current nine-month period as compared to $72,988 in professional services during the corresponding nine-month period ended March 31, 2015. General and administrative expenses were $83,237 during the nine months ended March 31, 2016 as compared to $78,031 during the same corresponding period in 2015. The increase of $5,206 in general and administrative expenses during the current nine-month period, as compared to the same period ended March 31, 2015, was primarily due to a decrease in expense of $3,725 related to the collection of the Petrobras bond transaction, an increase of $7,458 in advertising expense, an increase of $1,900 in donations, an decrease of $505 in filing fees, a decrease of $7,985 in transfer agent fees for the Company and its clients, an increase of $4,687 in travel expenses, an increase of $360 insurance, and an increase of 343 in dues and subscriptions, respectively. The increase in total operating expenses between the two periods was due to increased business development activities during the current period.

 

Other Income and Expenses:

 

Net other expenses were $100,571 for the nine-month ended March 31, 2016, as compared to net other expenses of $316,328 for the nine-month ended March 31, 2015. Interest expenses were $230,025 and $242,517 for the nine months ended March 31, 2016, and 2015, respectively. The decrease in net other expenses of $215,757 between the two periods is primarily due to a gain on sale of marketable securities in the amount of $131,370 during the nine months ended March 31, 2016, as compared to a loss on sale of marketable securities in the amount of $47,813 during the same period ended March 31, 2015, no gain or loss on settlement of debts during the current nine-month period as compared to a loss on settlement of debts in the amount of $25,845 in the previous period, offset by an increase in miscellaneous expenses of $1,763 between the two periods.

 

 

Net Income (Loss):

 

Net loss for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 was $129,568, as compared to net loss of $593,750 for the nine months March 31, 2015, which is equivalent to ($0.03) per share for the current period and ($0.09) per share for the same period in 2015, both based on the weighted average number of basic and diluted shares outstanding at the end of each corresponding period after adjusting for the 1 for 1,500 reverse split effected on March 15, 2012.

 

The variance in net loss of $464,182 between the two comparable periods is mainly due to an increase in revenue of $300,954, offset by an increase of $52,529 in total operating expenses, and a decrease of $215,757 in net other expenses during the nine-month period ended March 31, 2016 compared to the nine-month period ended March 31, 2015.

 

CASH FLOWS

 

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents balance were $11,139 and $8,692 as of March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015, respectively.

 

Net cash used in the Company’s operating activities during the nine-month period ended March 31, 2016 was $1,501,967, as compared to net cash used in operating activities of $280,309 during the nine-month period ended March 31, 2015. This represents an increase of $1,221,658 in net cash used in operating activities between the two periods. The underlying reason for the variance was primarily due to a net loss from operations of $129,568 during the nine-month period ended March 31, 2016, as compared to a net loss from operations in the amount of $593,750 during the corresponding nine-month period ended March 31, 2015, an increase in other assets and prepaid expenses in the amount of $38,575 and an decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the amount of $1,333,823 during the nine-month period ended March 31, 2016, as compared to an increase in other assets and prepaid expenses in the amount of $40,324 and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $353,765 during the nine months ended March 31, 2015.

 

The Company used $149,509 in investing activities during the current nine-month period ended March 31, 2016 whereas there was $10,774 used in investing activities for the previous nine-month period ended March 31, 2015. The increase in cash used in investing activities during the current period is due to the purchase of 10 acres of land in Live Oak, Florida and a deposit for purchase of equity in a company during the current nine-month period.

 

Cash provided by financing activities was $1,651,591 for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2016, as compared to cash provided by financing activities in the amount of $269,152 for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2015. The primary underlying reasons for the variance of $1,382,439 between the two periods were due to changes in common stock of $1,735,773 as a result of certain creditors’ conversions of debts into common stock of the Company, a change in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) of ($266,173), a change in Accumulated Deficit of ($87,108), and a change in Treasury Stock of ($52) between the current nine-month periods ended March 31, 2016 and the corresponding previous period ended March 31, 2015. The Company repurchased 63,700 shares of its Common Stock from the open market and cancelled 25,510 restricted shares of its Common Stock during the nine-month ended March 31, 2106.

 

 

HISTORICAL FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS

 

SHORT TERM NOTES PAYABLE AND SALE OF COMMON STOCK:

 

In the course of its business, the Company has obtained short-term loans from individuals and institutional investors and from time to time raised money by issuing restricted common stock of the Company under the auspices of Rule 144. As of March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2015, the Company had short-term notes payable amounting to $677,660 and $1,342,618 with accrued interest of $3,182,194 and $3,031,152, respectively. These notes bear interest rates ranging from 0% to 36% per annum. Some of the notes payable are secured by certain assets of the Company.

 

CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE:

 

On February 29, 2016, the Company issued a convertible promissory note in the amount of $56,750 to Auctus Fund, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. This convertible note is due and payable on November 29, 2016 with interest of 10% per annum. This note is convertible at the election of Auctus Fund, LLC from time to time after the issuance date. In the event of default, the amount of principal and interest not paid when due bear interest at the rate of 24% per annum and the note becomes immediately due and payable. Should an event of default occur, the Company is liable to pay 150% of the then outstanding principal and interest. The note agreement contains covenants requiring Auctus Fund’s written consent for certain activities not in existence or not committed to by the Company on the issuance date of the note, as follows: dividend distributions in cash or shares, stock repurchases, borrowings, sale of assets, certain advances and loans in excess of $100,000, and certain guarantees with respect to preservation of existence of the Company and non-circumvention. Outstanding note principal and interest accrued thereon can be converted in whole, or in part, at any time by Auctus after the issuance date into an equivalent of the Company’s common stock determined by 55% of the average of the two lowest closing trading prices of the Company’s common stock during the twenty (20) trading days prior to the date the conversion notice is sent by Auctus. The Company may prepay the amounts outstanding to Auctus Fund at any time up to the 180^th day following the issue date of this note by making a payment to the note holder of an amount in cash equal to 125% to 150%, multiplied by the sum of: (w) the then outstanding principal amount of this Note plus (x) accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid principal amount of this Note plus (y) Default Interest, depending on the time of prepayment.

 

CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK:

 

In April 2015, the Company launched a private placement memorandum by offering investment units consisting of Class A cumulative convertible preferred stock and warrants under the auspices of Regulation 506(c). However, as of the date of this report the Company has not raised any capital through this program and has withdrawn the private placement offering since February 10, 2016.

 

FINANCIAL PLANS

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES: The Company’s operations are currently financed through income from consulting and advisory services, various loans, sale of marketable securities and issuance of common stock under the auspices of Rule 144. In addition, the Company also anticipates generating revenues through energy-related and natural resource activities, international trade and joint operations with other companies. However, 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.

 

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, 2016 and beyond. The working capital cash requirements for the next 12 months following the end of the current quarter would be generated from operations, sale of marketable securities and additional financing.

 

AVAILABLE FUTURE FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS:

 

The Company has engaged a number of investment banking firms and negotiated with private equity firms to arrange financing for potential acquisitions. The Company believes it will be able to secure the required financing arrangements; however, no assurances could be made that management would be successful in achieving its plan.

 

 

COMPANY’S PLAN OF OPERATION FOR THE FOLLOWING 12 MONTHS

	●	Implement the reclamation and construction sand business among Vietnamese and Filipino partners, Singapore, Brunei and other Asian countries.
	●	Supply coal from Indonesia to Asian markets.
	●	Participate in other select energy-related and natural resource activities as opportunities arise.
	●	The Company intends to spin off its M&A advisory services and mineral resource activities into separate subsidiaries in conjunction with the closing of the purchase of Pacific Petro Commercial Joint Stock Company to primarily concentrate on energy business, both conventional and renewable. However, no guarantee could be made that the Company would be successful in any of its plans during this time frame. The Company may have to change its business focus and/or priorities as needed in order to respond to new circumstances or opportunities.

 

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 and Indonesia using Vietnamese Dong and Indonesian Rupiahs, which are the official currencies of these countries. 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

 

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/Acting Chief Financial 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, 2016, based on the material weaknesses defined below:

 

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

 

Management’s Remediation Plan

 

We plan to take steps to enhance and improve the design of our internal control over financial reporting. However, during the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, 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 quarter ended March 31, 2016 are fairly stated, in all material respects, in accordance with US GAAP.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

 

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

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.

 

Our businesses are currently focused in Southeast Asia, particularly Indonesia and Vietnam, and 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.

 

Our operations are currently concentrated in Indonesia and Vietnam. Because of this concentration 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 Indonesia and/or Vietnam 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 coal business

 

As part of our core business involves acquisitions of coal assets, production of coal, and coal trading, our profitability will depend upon the prices we receive for our coal. Coal prices are dependent upon factors beyond our control, including: the strength of the global economy; the demand for electricity; the demand for steel, which may lead to price fluctuations in the periodic repricing of our metallurgical coal contracts; the global supply of thermal and metallurgical coal; 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.

 

As of the date of this report our executive officers/directors and principal stockholders who hold 5% or more of the issued and outstanding common stock owned in the aggregate control more than 60% of our issued and outstanding common stock, our Board of Directors and principal stockholder(s) are 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.

 

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.

 

Since we do not currently meet the requirements for our stock to be quoted on NASDAQ, the 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.
