Nature of Business

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS

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

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

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

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

INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. These statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2016. In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal reoccurring accruals have been made to the financial statements. The results of operation for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2017.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase that are readily convertible into cash to be cash equivalents.

MARKETABLE SECURITIES

The Company’s securities are classified as available-for-sale and, as such, are carried at fair value. Securities classified as available-for-sale may be sold in response to changes in interest rates, liquidity needs, and for other purposes.

Typically, each investment in marketable securities represents less than twenty percent (20%) of the outstanding common stock and stock equivalents of the investee, and each security is quoted on either the OTC Markets or other public exchanges. As such, each investment is accounted for in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 115.

Unrealized holding gains and losses for available-for-sale securities are excluded from earnings and reported as a separate component of stockholder’s equity. Realized gains and losses for securities classified as available-for-sale are reported in earnings based upon the adjusted cost of the specific security sold. On March 31, 2017, the marketable securities have been recorded at $579,266 based upon the fair value of the marketable securities.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair Value - Definition and Hierarchy

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are categorized based on whether or not the inputs are observable in the market and the degree that the inputs are observable. The categorization of financial assets and liabilities within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

A fair value hierarchy for inputs is used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs are to be used when available.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

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

PROPERTIES AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets from three to five years. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company’s revenue recognition policies are in compliance with ASC 13 (previously Staff accounting bulletin (SAB) 104). The Company recognizes consulting and advisory fee revenues when the transaction is completed and the service fees are earned. Expenses are recognized in the period in which the corresponding liability is incurred. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are recorded as unearned revenue.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Effective July 1, 2006, the Company adopted ASC 718-10-25 (previously SFAS 123R) and accordingly has adopted the modified prospective application method. Under this method, ASC 718-10-25 is applied to new awards and to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled after the effective date. Additionally, compensation cost for the portion of awards that are outstanding as of the date of adoption for which the requisite service has not been rendered (such as unvested options) is recognized over a period of time as the remaining requisite services are rendered.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to certain risks and uncertainties. The Company provides its service and receives marketable securities upon execution of transactions. Consequently, the value of the securities received from customers can be affected by economic fluctuations and each customer’s business growth. The actual realized value of these securities could be significantly different than recorded value.
