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, 1982 under 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.

 

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 planned 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 back the 3,000,000 shares previously issued to SlimTech and the shares were cancelled on October 1, 2003.

 

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 implementation of the Trade Agreement between Vietnam and the United States. During the quarter ended December 31, 2003, Provimex generated $41,182 in gross sales with $32,634 in cost of goods sold for a net gross profit of $8,548.

 

On August 23, 2002, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with ATC Technology Corporation ("ATC"), an Arizona corporation, to purchase all the issued and outstanding shares of ATC. 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 180 days 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 $0.30, 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 $0.30. The Company consummated the purchase agreement with ATC on October 17, 2003 and delivered $500,000 in promissory notes and 4,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock.

 

On November 20, 2002 the Company entered into an agreement to acquire 51% of the outstanding common stock of Clear Pass, Inc. ("Clear Pass"), a Nevada corporation, in exchange for $1,500,000 and 3,000,000 shares of restricted stock of the Company. Under an agreement with PASS21 Co., Ltd., ("Pass21") a Korean corporation, Clear Pass had the licensing rights to distribute and market PASS21's biometric products in the United States, Canada, and Europe. Besides a total of $175,500 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. This agreement was rescinded on May 9, 2003. The Company has received back the 3,000,000 shares previously issued to Clear Pass and subsequently cancelled the shares and the promissory note. Concurrently, the Company has set up a new wholly-owned subsidiary under the name of ClearPass, a DBA of PHI, to operate as a systems integrator and provider of total biometric security and access management solutions. This company was later incorporated as a Nevada corporation under the name of ClearPass Systems, Inc. This subsidiary has not generated any revenues to date.

 

On March 26, 2003, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Real ID Technology Co, Ltd., a Korean corporation, ("Real ID") to acquire up to 51% of Real ID's common stock, in exchange for up to $1 million in cash and the balance in two short-term promissory notes totaling $4 million. This Stock Purchase Agreement was amended on April 29, 2003 to allow for the closing of the transaction on May 26, 2003, subject to satisfactory due diligence investigation and review of Real ID's business, legal matters, and accounting by the Company. The proposed Closing was postponed to June 30, 2003 due to additional due diligence requirements. This transaction was mutually rescinded on August 1, 2003.

 

In May 2003, the Company formed a new wholly-owned subsidiary under the name of Providential Capital, a DBA company, to provide financial products and services for the micro-small cap arenas and manage the Company's proprietary merger and acquisition activities. Providential Capital will focus its attention on the underserved segment of smaller companies in the U.S. and abroad. Providential Capital has recently advised and managed merger plan for Nettel Holdings, Inc. and Lexor Holdings, Inc.

 

On July 7, 2003 a wholly-owned DBA of Providential Holdings, Inc, Touchlink Communications was formed to provide point-of-sale (POS) terminals and prepaid calling cards to retailers, convenient storesand non-profit organizations across the US. This POS system enables merchants and participating partners to offer prepaid products without purchasing or storing any inventory in advance. This company was later incorporated as a Nevada corporation in February 2004 under the name of Touchlink Communications, Inc. to provide long distance services to residential and business customers in the United States. As of the date of this report, Touchlink Communications has not generated any revenues.

 

On November 1, 2003, the Company formed PHI Video Corp., which was later renamed PHI Digital Corp. ("PHI Digital"), a Nevada corporation, to provide the sale of consumer electronics, including flat-screen television sets and monitors, as part of its distributorship agreement with XOCECO (see Note 9). During the nine months ended March 31, 2004, the subsidiary generated $3,590,610 in sales with a cost of goods sold of $3,230,182 for a net gross profit of $360,427.

 

On December 19, 2003, the entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Irvine College of Medical Sciences, Inc., a California corporation, ("the College") to acquire 51% of the College's common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $314,437. This amount is to be paid with $80,000 in cash and 1,116,369 shares of the Company's common stock. As of the date of this report, the common stock has not been issued and is reflected as common stock to be issued in the accompanying financial statements. The Company recorded a loss of $27,285 relating to the income generated by the subsidiary after the purchase by the Company.

 

MARKETABLE SECURITIES

 

The Company's marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale and, as such, are carried at fair value. All of the securities are comprised of shares of common stock of the investee. Securities classified as available-for-sale may be sold in response to changes in interest rates, liquidity needs, and for other purposes.

 

Each investment in marketable securities represents less than twenty percent (20%) of the outstanding common stock and stock equivalents of the investee, and each security is nationally quoted on the National Association of Securities Dealers OTC Bulletin Board ("OTC:BB"). As such, each investment is accounted for in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 115.

 

Unrealized holding gains and losses for marketable 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, 2004, the investments have been recorded at $64,305,310 based upon the fair value of the marketable securities.

 

Marketable securities classified as available for sale consisted of the following as of March 31, 2004:

INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The accompanying Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with rules set forth in Retaliation SB of the Securities and Exchange Commission. As said, these statements do not include all disclosures required under generally accepted principles and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2003. 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 nine months ended March 31, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2004.

 

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 include the accounts of Providential Holdings, Inc., and its subsidiary Providential Securities, Inc., collectively referred to as the "Company". All significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

RECLASSIFICATIONS

 

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


RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS


On May 15, 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Statement No. 150 (FAS 150), Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. FAS 150 changes the accounting for certain financial instruments that, under previous guidance, could be classified as equity or "mezzanine" equity, by now requiring those instruments to be classified as liabilities (or assets in some circumstances) in the statement of financial position. Further, FAS 150 requires disclosure regarding the terms of those instruments and settlement alternatives. FAS 150 affects an entity's classification of the following freestanding instruments: a) Mandatorily redeemable instruments b) Financial instruments to repurchase an entity's own equity instruments c) Financial instruments embodying obligations that the issuer must or could choose to settle by issuing a variable number of its shares or other equity instruments based solely on (i) a fixed monetary amount known at inception or (ii) something other than changes in its own equity instruments d) FAS 150 does not apply to features embedded in a financial instrument that is not a derivative in its entirety. The guidance in FAS 150 is generally effective for all financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and is otherwise effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. For private companies, mandatorily redeemable financial instruments are subject to the provisions of FAS 150 for the fiscal period beginning after December 15, 2003. The adoption of SFAS 150 does not have a material effect on the earnings or financial position of the Company.

 

In December 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a revised Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" (FIN 46R). FIN 46R addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities and significantly changes the consolidation application of consolidation policies to variable interest entities and, thus improves comparability between enterprises engaged in similar activities when those activities are conducted through variable interest entities. The Company does not hold any variable interest entities.


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. The balance of unredeemed preferred shares has been reclassified as a current liability from the stockholder's deficit section on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.


NOTE 3 - LOANS AND PROMISSORY NOTES

 

CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES

 

The Company issued convertible promissory notes in March and April 2000 amounting $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. Re-pricing 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 re-pricing warrants is directly linked to the Company's stock price on the conversion date of the notes. As the stock price decreases, the number of shares to be issued pursuant to the re-pricing 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.

During the nine months ended March 31, 2004, $1,015,000 of the notes and accrued interest and other fees of $1,541,027, totaling $2,556,027 were converted to 19,412,804 shares of common stock. The market value of the stock issued for the conversion was calculated and a loss of $256,222 resulted from this note conversion was recorded as other income/(expense). During the nine months ended March 31, 2004, an additional 584,255 shares of Company's common stock were issued to exercise the re-pricing warrants relating to the notes converted above.

As of March 31, 2004, the Company had a negative working capital of $2,707,738 and a shareholder deficit of $2,928,918.

The Company is in default of the terms of convertible notes at March 31, 2004. 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, 2004 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 laws 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.

 

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, and the realizability of deferred tax assets. 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, 2004, we estimated the allowance on net deferred tax assets to be one hundred percent of the net deferred tax assets.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Nine Months ended March 31, 2004 compared to Nine Months ended March 31, 2003

 

Revenues

 

Total revenues were $8,948,295 and $71,584 for the nine months ended March 31, 2004, and 2003, respectively. Revenues for the current period consist of $4,507,000 in consulting fees and $4,441,205 in sales and tuition compared to $9,784 consulting fees and $61,800 in sales and tuition for the comparable period in the prior fiscal year. The increase is due primarily in the completion of a merger agreement the Company facilitated and the acquisition of several new subsidiaries. Of this amount, $4,339,348 in sales and tuition was generated by the subsidiaries.

General and Administrative

 

Total general and administrative expenses were $847,655 and $273,914 for the nine months ended March 31, 2004, and 2003, respectively. The increase is primarily due to the increased activity of the Company and the acquisition of the subsidiaries. Professional services were $2,924,778 and $825,438 for the comparable periods. Included in this amount for the current period is $646,320 for past services paid with common stock. During the current nine months the Company paid salaries of $201,763 of which $146,006 was paid with the issuance of common stock and $22,500 in director's fees, also paid with common stock.

 

Other Expenses

 

Interest expense was $363,047 and $540,627 for the nine months ended March 31, 2004, and 2003, respectively. This is primarily due to the conversion of $1,015,000 of notes during the quarter.

 

During the nine months ended March 31, 2004 the Company recorded a loss of conversion of notes of $157,582 compared to a gain of $472,420 for the nine months ended March 31, 2003.

Net Income (Loss)

 

Net loss for the nine months ended March 31, 2004 was $3,593,681, compared to $1,627,698 for the same period in 2003, which is equivalent to ($0.04) per share versus ($0.04) per share, respectively, based on the weighted average number of basic and diluted shares outstanding for the pertinent quarters. The difference is primarily attributed to the acquisition of several subsidiaries in the current quarter and the impairment of assets.

Revenues

 

Total revenues were $2,119,246 and $9,784 for the quarter ended March 31, 2004, and 2003, respectively.

The increase is primarily due to the increased activity of the Company and the acquisition of the subsidiaries. Professional services were $1,289,486 and $294,191 for the comparable periods. During the current quarter the Company paid salaries of $35,000 with the issuance of common stock.

 

Other Expenses

 

Interest expense was $91,520 and $134,904 for the quarter ended March 31, 2004, and 2003, respectively. This is primarily due to the conversion and payment of $716,583 of convertible notes and short-term notes payable during the quarter.

 

During the quarter ended March 31, 2004 the Company recorded a loss of conversion of notes of $477,891 compared to a gain of $304,853 for the quarter ended March 31, 2003. In addition, the Company recognized an expense of $106,111 in redemption premiums and registration penalties related to the debt conversion during the current fiscal quarter and $711,331 in beneficial conversion feature expense related to the conversion of short-term notes payable and officers notes.

  

Net Income (Loss)

 

Net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 was $2,824,709, compared to $383,104 for the same period in 2003, which is equivalent to ($0.03) per share versus ($0.01) per share, respectively, based on the weighted average number of basic and diluted shares outstanding for the pertinent quarters. The difference is primarily attributed to the activity in several subsidiaries acquired in the previous quarter, conversion expenses of notes payable into common stock and increased professional services.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

The Company had consolidated cash and cash equivalents of $278,041 and $14,252 as of March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

 

The Company's operating activities used $1,477,628 and $389,478 in the nine months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The difference is mainly attributable to the increase in activities and acquisition of several subsidiaries.

 

Cash used by investing activities was $138,688 for the nine months ended March 31, 2004 compared to cash provided of $20,946 in the comparable period of the prior year. This was primarily due to the purchase of marketable securities during the period and the purchase of fixed assets.

Cash provided by financing activities was $1,762,154 and $378,071 for the nine months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The increase is primarily due proceeds from the exercise of stock options, borrowings on notes payable and advances from an officer.

 

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.    Effectiveness of the registrant's disclosure controls and procedures

 

(a) As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer made an evaluation of the company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in ss.240.13a-15(e) or 240.15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act). Based on the evaluation of these controls and procedures required by paragraph (b) of Rule 13a-15 or 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, in their opinion, the disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

 

(b) During the most recent fiscal year, there have not been any significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting or in other factors that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

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.
