PROVIDENTIAL HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

 

NOTE 1 - GENERAL AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

NATURE OF BUSINESS AND REORGANIZATION BACKGROUND

 

Providential Holdings, Inc. ("PHI" or "Providential") was organized under the laws of the State of Nevada on June 8, 1982under the name of JR Consulting, Inc. The company changed its name to Providential Securities, Inc., a Nevada corporation, on January 12, 2000, and subsequently changed its name to Providential Holdings, Inc. on February 9, 2000. From its inception through September 7, 1995, the Company generated nominal revenues and did not actively engage in business. Prior to the corporate combination agreement with Providential Securities, Inc., JR Consulting had an operating subsidiary, Diva Entertainment, Inc ("Diva"), which operated two modeling agencies, one in New York and one in California.

 

Providential Securities, Inc., a California Corporation ("Providential Securities") was incorporated in the State of California on October 8, 1992. It operated a securities brokerage service in California, New York and Oregon. The principal markets for Providential Securities' services were individual investors who were located throughout the United States. Providential Securities bought and sold securities for its customers through a number of different markets, utilizing a brokerage clearinghouse to transact the trades. Due to the results of an NASD examination, Providential Securities withdrew its membership and ceased its securities brokerage business in October 2000.

 

 

REORGANIZATION

 

On October 28, 1999 JR Consulting entered into a corporate combination agreement (the "Agreement") with Providential Securities, whereby JR Consulting acquired all the outstanding shares of Providential Securities in exchange for 20,000,000 shares of JR Consulting (then renamed Providential) common stock. The transaction was consummated on January 14, 2000. In addition, as a covenant under the Agreement, Providential was required to enter into an agreement to sell to Havilland Limited all of the shares of Diva owned by Providential as well as to assign all of its rights, title and interest in an Option Agreement to Havilland Limited. JR Consulting's officers and directors resigned from their positions and the shareholders of Providential Securities assumed control of the two entities (together as "the Company"). The shares issued in the merger are restricted against resale pursuant to the provisions of federal and state securities laws. Providential Securities' shareholders of record as of the closing date owned approximately 75% of Providential's common stock. The acquisition has been treated as a capital transaction in substance, rather than a business combination, and was deemed a "reverse acquisition" for accounting purposes. Accordingly, Providential Securities was

the accounting acquirer and the historical financial statements prior to January 14, 2000 were those of Providential Securities. In the accompanying financial statements, the capital structure and losses per share of Providential Securities have been retroactively restated to reflect the acquisition as if it occurred at the beginning of the period. The operations of Providential have been included with those of Providential Securities from the acquisition date.

 

The sale of Diva was concluded on June 30, 2000, at which time all of the shares of Diva owned by Providential as well as all of its rights, title and interest in the Option Agreement were exchanged for assignment to and assumption by Havilland Limited of the amounts due by Providential to officers of the Company amounting to $617,781, the amounts due to Providential from Diva amounting to $94,843 and the return of 135,000 shares of common stock of Providential owned by Havilland.

 

During February 2000 the Company formed a California corporation, Providential Clearing, Inc. as a vehicle to effectuate the purchase of a self-clearing broker-dealer and to operate a securities clearing firm. This subsidiary has had no operations .

 

A wholly owned division of the Company, Provimex was formed on April 10, 2001 under the name "Providential Imex", to focus on trade commerce with Vietnam. This division changed its name to Provimex on July 5, 2001. The Company believes that its trade commerce business will grow substantially as a result of the ratification of the Trade Agreement between Vietnam and the United States. During six month period ended December 31, 2002, the Company generated $61,800 revenue from this operation.

 

 

On April 30, 2002, the Company consummated an agreement to acquire 56.67% equity interest in SlimTech, Inc., a Nevada corporation, in exchange for 3,000,000 shares of the Company's restricted common stock. SlimTech plans to be a distributor of LCD (liquid crystal display) computer flat screens and other consumer electronics. Since SlimTech is a dormant entity with insignificant assets or liabilities, no pro forma information is presented. This agreement was rescinded on May 6, 2003. The Company has received 3,000,000 shares of Providential Holdings, Inc.'s stock back from SlimTech and will cancel the same.

 

On August 23, 2002, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with ATC Technology Corporation, an Arizona corporation, to purchase all issued and outstanding shares of ATC Technology Corporation. For consideration, the Company agreed to deliver $250,000 in promissory notes, non-interest bearing, payable 270 days after closing, and $250,000 in promissory notes, non-interest bearing, payable 18 months after closing, 3,000,000 shares of restricted stock of the Company with an option of additional shares to be issued after 270 days if the stock price does not reach $.30, 1,000,000 shares of restricted stock of the Company with an option of additional shares to be issued after one year if the stock price does not reach $.30. The scheduled closing date of September 12, 2002 was postponed until the additional required financial information is provided.

 

On November 20, 2002 the Company entered into an agreement to acquire 51% of the outstanding common stock of Clear Pass, Inc., a Nevada corporation, in exchange for $1,500,000 and 3,000,000 shares of restricted common stock of the Company. Under an agreement with PASS21 Co, Ltd., a Korean corporation, Clear Pass had the licensing rights to distribute and market PASS21 Co.'s biometric products in the US, Canada and Europe. Besides a total of $175,500.00 investment into Clear Pass, the Company issued 3,000,000 shares of restricted common stock of the Company and a promissory note in the amount of $1,324,500 to Clear Pass, Inc. This agreement between Clear Pass and the Company was rescinded on May 9, 2003. The Company has received 3,000,000 shares of the Company's restricted common stock back from Clear Pass, Inc. and has cancelled the $1,324,500.00 promissory note. Concurrently, the Company has set up a new wholly-owned subsidiary under the name of ClearPass, a DBA of Providential Holdings, Inc., to operate as an systems integrator and provider of total biometric security and access management solutions. On March 26, 2003 the Company signed a stock purchase agreement to acquire up to 51% of Real ID Technology Co, Ltd., a Korean corporation, and plans to market Real ID Technology's biometric products through the ClearPass subsidiary. The stock purchase agreement with Real ID Technology is expected to close on May 26, 2003.

 

In May 2003, the Company formed a new subsidiary under the name of Providential Capital to provide financial products and services for the micro-small cap arenas and manages the Company's proprietary merger and acquisition activities. Providential Capital will focus its attention on the underserved segment of smaller companies in the US and abroad.

 

INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2003 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods ended March 31, 2003 and 2002. The results of operations and cash flows for the nine month period ended March 31, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or cash flows which may be reported for the remainder of the 2003 fiscal year. The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for reporting on Form 10-Q. Pursuant to such rules and regulations, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in connection with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended June 30, 2002.

 

ACCOUNTING 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.

 

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

 

The consolidated financial statements for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2003 include the accounts of Providential Holdings, Inc., Provimex, Slimtech, Clearpass and Providential Clearing, Inc., collectively referred to as the "Company". All significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS

 

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations". SFAS 143 addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002.

 

SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," was issued in August 2001. SFAS No. 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, and addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. This statement supersedes SFAS No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations - Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions," for the disposal of a segment of a

business.

 

The Company does not expect that the adoption of above pronouncements will have a material effect on its earnings or financial position.

 

 

In May 2002, the Board issued SFAS No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections ("SFAS 145"). SFAS 145 rescinds the automatic treatment of gains or losses from extinguishments of debt as extraordinary unless they meet the criteria for extraordinary items as outlined in APB Opinion No. 30, Reporting the Results of Operations, Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions. SFAS 145 also requires sale-leaseback accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to sale-leaseback transactions and makes various technical corrections to existing pronouncements. The provisions of SFAS 145 related to the rescission of FASB Statement 4 are effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002, with early adoption encouraged. All other provisions of SFAS 145 are effective for transactions occurring after May 15, 2002, with early adoption encouraged. The Company does not anticipate that adoption of SFAS 145 will have a material effect on our earnings or financial position.

 

In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146 " Accounting for Costs Associated with exit or Disposal Activities." This Statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." This Statement requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. Under Issue 94-3 a liability for an exit cost as defined, was recognized at the date of an entity's commitment to an exit plan. The Company does not anticipate that adoption of SFAS 146 will have a material effect on our earnings or financial position.

 

In October 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 147, "Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions." SFAS No. 147 removes the requirement in SFAS No. 72 and Interpretation 9 thereto, to recognize and amortize any excess of the fair value of liabilities assumed over the fair value of tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired as an unidentifiable intangible asset. This statement requires that those transactions be accounted for in accordance with SFAS No.141, "Business Combinations," and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." In addition, this statement amends SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," to include certain financial institution-related intangible assets. The Company does not expect adoption of SFAS No. 147 to have a material impact, if any, on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others" (FIN 45). FIN 45 requires that upon issuance of a guarantee, a guarantor must recognize a liability for the fair value of an obligation assumed under a guarantee. FIN 45 also requires additional disclosures by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about the obligations associated with guarantees issued. The recognition provisions of FIN 45 are effective for any guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The disclosure requirements are effective for financial statements of interim or annual periods ending after December 15, 2002. The adoption of FIN45 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

 

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148 "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure". SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation", to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this Statement amends the disclosure requirements of Statement 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used, on reported results. The Statement is effective for the Companies' interim reporting period ending March 31, 2003. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 148 to have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations or cash flows.

 

 

NOTE 2 - NASD EXAMINATION AND DISCONTINUANCE OF PROVIDENTIAL SECURITIES, INC.

 

After the completion of a routine audit of Providential Securities, Inc. ("Providential") in July and August 2000, the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. alleged that Providential violated certain provisions of the NASD's Conduct Rules 2120, 2330, 2110 and 3010, and Rules 15c2-4, 10b-5, 10b-9 and 15c3-3 of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Providential Securities, Inc. and Henry Fahman voluntarily submitted a Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent ("AWC",) which was accepted by NASD Regulation, Inc. on October 27, 2000, as follows:

 

Providential and Henry Fahman accepted and consented, without admitting or denying the alleged violations, to the entry of the following findings by NASD Regulation, Inc.:

     

From in or about December 15, 1998 through June 15, 1999, Providential Securities, through its Private Placement Memorandum, offered and sold one hundred three thousand (103,000) shares of Series I Class A Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock in Providential Securities, Inc. for five hundred fifteen thousand dollars ($515,000) to twenty-two (22) customers. In connection with the Private Placement Memorandum, Providential Securities made certain misrepresentations or omissions in soliciting investments from public customers, such as: failure to disclose that an officer of Providential Securities could make contributions to help meet the minimum requirement; failure to disclose Providential Securities, Inc.'s disciplinary history whereby Providential Securities, Inc. and Henry Fahman, jointly and severally, were fined $28,500 for net capital deficiencies and for failing to send the requisite written notification or confirmation in fifty eight (58) securities transactions to public customers; and failure to disclose that Henry Fahman was ordered to requalify by examination as a financial and operational principal.

That Providential's use of the private placement funds mainly for Providential's own operational purposes (more than for those represented in the private placement memorandum) amounted to conversion or improper use of those funds thus violating the Conduct Rules 2110 and 2330.

That Providential, acting through Henry Fahman, violated SEC Rule 15c2-4, SEC Rule 10b-9, and Conduct Rule 2110 (a) by not utilizing a proper escrow account for the investment funds received, (b) by not retaining the private placement funds until the minimum requirement was met, and (c) by not refunding these funds to the customers when the minimum was not met, or not met in a timely manner.

 

That by receiving and controlling funds from public customers in connection with the private placement, Providential became obligated to comply with the full provisions of SEC Rule 15c3-3 (during the period of January through at least March, 1999, Providential Securities, through Henry Fahman, and Providential's financial and operations principal, Theodore Fahman, failed to compute the reserve requirements, and set aside appropriate reserves for customer protection.

 That Providential, acting through Henry Fahman, in violation of Conduct Rule 3010(a) and Membership and Registration Rule 1018, was operating three non-registered supervisory jurisdiction branch offices, and that while Providential's membership agreement limited the firm's branch activities to two branches, there were at least seven full-service satellite locations, thereby violating Conduct Rule 2110 and Membership and Registration Rule 1014.

 

That both Providential and Henry Fahman also violated Membership and Registration Rule 1030 for failing to enforce Membership and Registration Rule 1031(a) by allowing four individuals with deficiencies in license registration to conduct a securities business during much of 1998 and 1999.

 That Providential and Henry Fahman failed to comply with Membership and Registration Rule 1030 by failing to enforce Rule 1032(f) by allowing five individuals to act in the capacity of equity trader with deficiency in registration as Limited Representative-Equity Traders.

 

That Providential and Henry Fahman also violated Membership and Registration Rule 1120 and Conduct Rule 2110 by permitting a broker to conduct business and earn commissions, while his status was "inactive" as a result of his failing to complete his continuing education requirements.

That from on or about May 2, 2000 through May 30, 2000, Providential Securities, Inc. distributed biased communications to the public regarding its ProTimer service through the World Wide Web.

 

Providential Securities, Inc. and Henry Fahman also consented to the imposition, at a maximum, of the following sanctions:

 

Providential shall be censured, fined $115,000.00 and shall offer rescission to those public customers who participated in the Providential Private Placement. Providential shall provide proof in form satisfactory to NASDR's District 2 staff of its offer of rescission to the customers who participated in the Providential Private Placement. In addition, to the extent the offer of rescission is accepted by any investors, Providential is ordered to provide proof of payment of the restitution in a form satisfactory to the District 2 NASDR staff, no later than 120 days after acceptance of the Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent. Henry Fahman shall be banned, in all capacities, from associating with any NASD member.

 

Based upon the above-mentioned circumstances, Providential Securities, Inc. withdrew its membership from the NASD in October 2000 and ceased its securities brokerage operation. The fine of $115,000 is included in accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Company has offered all Preferred Stock holders rescission on their investment. As of the date of this report the Company has redeemed $65,000 of the preferred stock plus accrued interest.

 

NOTE 3 - CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES

 

Convertible promissory notes of $1,750,000 consist of $1,350,000 plus interest due on September 28, 2000 and $400,000 plus interest due on October 21, 2000. These notes are essentially demand notes that have a six-month term and bear interest at 8% annually, unless the notes are in default, in which instance the interest rate will increase to 12% annually. Further, the notes bear a redemption premium, based upon the date of redemption equal to: 5% if within the first 60 days; 10% if within the second 60 days; 15% if within the third 60 day-period, and 20% if redeemed after 181 days. On the 180th day, the Company can require the holders to convert (if a registration statement is in effect) the notes into common stock. After the 180th day, only the holders can elect to convert - no right of the Company to force conversion after that time. On the second anniversary, any remaining notes will automatically covert into common stock (if a registration statement is in effect). If the conversion is at the direction of the Company, then, in addition to the redemption amount, the Company would also owe a 20% per annum rate of return on the redemption amount.

 

The notes may be paid by tender of common stock of the Company, with the conversion rate for the issuance of the common stock equal to the "closing price" on the date of the initial purchase of the notes, which is the average of the closing bid price for the five previous trading days. Repricing warrants have also been issued in contemporaneous amounts, such that any decrease in the trading price of the stock will entitle the note holders to reset the exercise price to a lower price than that which existed on the closing date. The number of shares issued under the repricing warrants is directly linked to the Company's stock price on the conversion date of to the repricing warrants increase. The note purchasers are also entitled to a separate set of warrants, equal to 20% of the total purchase amounts of the notes acquired, allowing for an exercise price of 110% of the closing price and having a 5-year term.

 

In accepting these subscriptions for these convertible notes, the Company had agreed to file a registration statement with respect to the Company's common stock to be issued upon conversion of the notes and any exercise of the warrants, with the initial filing to occur within 60 days of the "first closing", which occurred on March 28, 2000. A 2% per month penalty will accrue if the registration statement is not declared effective on or prior to the 181st day following the first closing. The holders have the right to require repayment in cash if no registration statement is in effect on the 181st day. Since this registration statement was not filed within the first 60 days of the first closing, nor has it been declared effective within 181 days after the first closing, the note holders have the right to the 2% penalty and repayment in cash. The Company has not paid these notes as of the date of this report and will also owe the note holders the 12% default rate and the 20% redemption premium noted above. The penalties, premium amount and interest have been accrued in the accompanying consolidated financials in Accrued Expenses.

 

During the year ended June 30, 2002, $225,000 of the notes and accrued interest and other fees of $183,695, totaling $408,695, were converted to 170,288 shares of Company's common stock. The market value of the stock issued for the conversion was calculated at $25,240 and the gain of $383,455 resulted from this note conversion was recorded as an extraordinary gain in the financial statements. During the period ended March 31, 2003, an additional 2,532,057 shares of Company's common stock were issued to exercise the repricing warrants relating to the notes converted during the year ended June 30, 2002.

 

During the period ended March 31, 2003, $425,000 of the notes and accrued interest and other fees of $447,494, totaling $872,494 were converted to 363,637 shares of common stock. The market value of the stock issued for the conversion was calculated and the gain of $472,420 resulted from this note conversion was recorded as other income. During the period ended March 31, 2003, an additional 3,879,153 shares of Company's common stock were issued to exercise the repricing warrants relating to the notes converted above.

Common stock equivalents have been excluded from the calculation of weighted-average shares for purposes of calculating diluted net loss per share for 2002 and 2001 periods, as such inclusion is anti-dilutive.

As the Company complies with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" in accounting for options issued to employees no compensation expense has been recorded. Had compensation costs for the Company's stock option plan been determined based upon fair value at the grant date consistent with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (SFAS No. 123), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," the Company's net loss and loss per share as of March 31, 2003 would have been as follows:

 

Net loss as reported $  (1,627,698)
Net loss - pro forma $  (4,252,698)
Loss per share as reported $           (0.03)
Loss per share - pro forma $           (0.08)

 

The weighted average fair value of options granted for the period ending March 31, 2003 is $.38. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following assumptions were used for grants in fiscal year 2001: risk-free rate of 6.0 percent; no expected dividend yield; expected volatility of 540 percent; and an expected life of 5.4 years.

EQUITY LINES OF CREDIT

The amount the Company can receive is dependent on the amount of free trading shares put in an escrow account or an effective registration statement and certain other conditions. The Company can borrow up to 95 percent of the market price (as defined by the agreement) of the registered shares or the free-trading shares deposited in escrow. Each time the Company receives funds against this line of credit it incurs a 3 percent fee, payable in cash on the gross proceeds, and an additional 1 percent fee on the total value of the equity line, payable in shares of the Company's common stock. This equity line of credit was terminated in June 2002 because the Company was unable to file a registration statement in a timely manner and no funds were received against this line of credit.

 

In July 2002, the Company secured a $10 million equity line of credit from Los Angeles-based Mercator Momentum Fund, L.P. The line of credit's term is three years.

As of the date of this report, no funds have been received against this line of credit.

 

This equity line of credit was terminated on February 18, 2003 because the Company had not made Form SB-2 registration Statement effective within the one hundred eighty (180) days following the subscription date.

 

 

OFFICE SPACE LEASE

 

The Company currently leases its office space from PAUB ENTERPRISES, LLC at $4,263 per month. This lease commenced on April 1, 2001 and expires on March 31, 2004.

 

EQUIPMENT LEASES

The Company is in litigation with some of the equipment lessors and is negotiating additional payoffs with other equipment leasers.

 

NOTE 10- GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTY

As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of $1,627,698 for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2003. As of March 31, 2003, the Company had a negative working capital of $6.9 million and a shareholder deficit of $7.2 million. Since the main operating subsidiary Providential Securities, Inc. ceased its securities brokerage operations in October 2000, there has been no significant revenue stream for the Company. The Company is, is in default of the terms of convertible notes at March 31, 2003. These factors, as well as the uncertain conditions that the Company faces in its day-to-day operations, create an uncertainty as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. 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, 2003 and beyond. The Company also anticipates generating more revenue through its proposed mergers and acquisitions. No assurances can be made that management will be successful in achieving its plan. The president and chairman of the Company has committed to funding the Company's operations for the next 12 months.

 

 

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

 

 

The following discussion includes the operations of the Company for each of the periods discussed. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto, which are included elsewhere in this document.

 

This discussion contains "forward looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Such forward looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and actual results could differ from those described herein and future results may be subject to numerous factors, many of which are beyond the control of the Company.

 

OVERVIEW

 

Providential Holdings, Inc. ("PHI") was organized under the law of the State of Nevada on June 8, 1982 under the name of JR Consulting, Inc.; subsequently on February 9, 2000 it changed its name to Providential Holdings, Inc. From its inception through September 7, 1995, the Company generated nominal revenues and did not actively engage in business. Prior to the corporate combination agreement with Providential Securities, Inc. PHI had an operating subsidiary, Diva Entertainment, Inc ("Diva"). Diva operated two modeling agencies, one in New York and one in California.

 

Providential Securities, Inc. ("Providential") was incorporated in the State of California on October 8, 1992. It operated a securities brokerage service in Fountain Valley, CA and New York City, NY. The principal markets for Providential's services were individual investors who were located throughout the United States. Providential bought and sold securities for its customers through a number of different markets, utilizing a brokerage clearinghouse to transact the trades. In October 2000, due to the results of a NASD examination, Providential has ceased its operations in the securities brokerage business.

 

REORGANIZATION

 

On October 28, 1999 PHI entered into a corporate combination agreement (the "Agreement") with Providential, whereby PHI acquired all the outstanding shares of Providential in exchange for 20,000,000 shares of PHI common stock. The transaction was consummated on January 14, 2000. In addition, as a covenant under the Agreement, PHI was required to enter into an agreement to sell all of the shares of Diva owned by PHI. PHI's officers and directors resigned their positions and the shareholders of Providential assumed control of the two entities (together as "the Company"). Providential's shareholders of record as of the closing date owned approximately 75% of PHI's common stock. The acquisition has been treated as a capital transaction in substance, rather than a business combination, and was deemed a "reverse acquisition" for accounting purposes. Accordingly, Providential was the accounting acquirer and the historical financial statements prior to January 14, 2000 were those of Providential. The operations of PHI have been included with those of Providential from the acquisition date.

 

BUSINESS RESTRUCTURING

 

Since the discontinuance of its securities brokerage operations in October 2000, the Company has restructured its primary scope

of business to include the following areas: (1)Technologies, (2) Financial services, (3) International markets, and (4) Special Situations. Events and developments relating to these areas are described in more detail elsewhere in this report.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash provided by investing activities was $20,946 and $23,292 for the nine months ended March 31, 2003 and March 31, 2002, respectively.

 

Cash provided by financing activities decreased from $605,117 in the nine months ended March 31, 2002 to $406,634 in the nine months ended March 31, 2003 primarily due to a decrease in borrowings on notes payable.

 

The Company's operations are currently financed through various loans. Management has taken action to strengthen the Company's working capital position and generate sufficient cash to meet its operating needs. In addition, the Company also anticipates generating more revenue through its proposed mergers and acquisitions. No assurances can be made that management will be successful in achieving its plan or that additional capital will be available on a timely basis or at acceptable terms.

 

Item 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded, based on an evaluation conducted within 90 days prior to the filing date of this quarterly report on Form 10-QSB, that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures have functioned effectively so as to provide those officers the information necessary whether:

 

        (i) this quarterly report on Form 10-QSB contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-QSB, and

 

        (ii) the financial statements, and other financial information included in this quarterly report on Form 10-QSB, fairly present in all material respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company as of, and for, the periods presented in this quarterly report on Form 10-QSB.


There have been no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors since the date of the Chief Executive Officer's and Chief Financial Officer's evaluation that could significantly affect these internal controls, including any corrective actions with regards to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

          None, except as may be noted elsewhere in this report.

          Not applicable, except as may be noted elsewhere in this

Item 5. OTHER INFORMATION

 

          Audit Committee

 

The Company does not have an independent Audit Committee of its Board of Directors. The entire Board of Directors functions as the Company's Audit Committee. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 ("Sarbanes-Oxley Act") and proposed U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Rules currently under review to implement the Sarbanes-Oxley Act impose certain standards on listed companies relative to the maintenance and operations of Board of Directors Audit Committees, including but not limited to the requirement that Audit Committees be appointed, that membership of such committees comprise only independent directors, that a financial professional be among the membership of such committee and that such committee be afforded an adequate operating budget and be able to employ independent professional advisors.  The Sarbanes-Oxley Act also requires that the Audit Committee oversee the work of a company's outside auditors and that the outside auditors be responsible to the Audit Committee.  At this time, the Company is not in compliance with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act as they relate to independent Board of Directors Audit Committees.  The Company believes that under the Rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission which implement these provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, it is not required to comply with its requirements relating to the appointment of an independent Audit Committee of its Board of Directors and conforming with the enumerated standards and guidelines because the Company is not a "Listed Company" as defined therein.  Notwithstanding, the Company may ultimately be determined to not be in compliance therewith and may therefore face penalties and restrictions on its operations until it comes into full compliance. Additionally, the Company's failure to comply with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could preclude it from being listed on NASDAQ or any other stock exchanges until it can show that it is in compliance. The Company intends to form an independent Audit Committee in the near future.
