RISK FACTORS
Investment in our securities is subject to various risks, including risks and uncertainties inherent in our business. The following sets forth factors related to our business, operations, financial position or future financial performance or cash flows which could cause an investment in our securities to decline and result in a loss.
| 6 |
General Risks Related to Our Business
Our success depends on our management team and other key personnel, the loss of any of whom could disrupt our business operations.
Our future success will depend in substantial part on the continued service of our senior management. The loss of the services of one or more of our key personnel could impede implementation and execution of our business strategy and result in the failure to reach our goals. We do not carry key person life insurance for any of our officers or employees. Our future success will also depend on the continued ability to attract, retain and motivate highly qualified personnel in the diverse areas required for continuing our operations. We cannot assure that we will be able to retain our key personnel or that we will be able to attract, train or retain qualified personnel in the future.
Our strategy in mergers and acquisitions involves a number of risks and we have a limited history of successful acquisitions. Even when an acquisition is completed, we may have to continue our service for integration that may not produce results as positive as management may have projected.
The Company is in the process of evaluating various opportunities and negotiating to acquire other companies, assets and technologies. Acquisitions entail numerous risks, including difficulties in the assimilation of acquired operations and products, diversion of management’s attention from other business concerns, amortization of acquired intangible assets and potential loss of key employees of acquired companies. We have limited experience in assimilating acquired organizations into our operations. Although potential synergy may be achieved by acquisitions of related technologies and businesses, no assurance can be given as to the Company’s ability to integrate successfully any operations, personnel, services or products that have been acquired or might be acquired in the future. Failure to successfully assimilate acquired organizations could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and operating results.
Acquisitions involve a number of special risks, including:
| ● | failure of the acquired business to achieve expected results; |
| ● | diversion of management’s attention; |
| ● | failure to retain key personnel of the acquired business; |
| ● | additional financing, if necessary and available, could increase leverage, dilute equity, or both; |
| ● | the potential negative effect on our financial statements from the increase in goodwill and other intangibles; and |
| ● | the high cost and expenses of completing acquisitions and risks associated with unanticipated events or liabilities. |
These risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition since the values of the securities received for the consulting service at the execution of the acquisition depend on the success of the company involved in acquisition. In addition, our ability to further expand our operations through acquisitions may be dependent on our ability to obtain sufficient working capital, either through cash flows generated through operations or financing activities or both. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain any additional financing on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all.
As some of our business activities are currently involved with Southeast Asia and Eastern Europe, any adverse change to the economy or business environment in these countries could significantly affect our operations, which would lead to lower revenues and reduced profitability.
Some of our business activities are currently involved with Southeast Asia and Eastern Europe. Because of this presence in specific geographic locations, we are susceptible to fluctuations in our business caused by adverse economic or other conditions in this region, including stock market fluctuation. A stagnant or depressed economy in these countries generally, or in any of the other markets that we serve, could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
| 7 |
Risks associated with energy business
As part of our core business involves acquisitions of energy assets as well as production and trading of energy commodities, our profitability will depend on the prices we receive for energy commodities such as coal and wood pellets. These prices are dependent upon factors beyond our control, including: the strength of the global economy; the demand for electricity; the global supply of thermal coal and biomass products; weather patterns and natural disasters; competition within our industry and the availability and price of alternatives, including natural gas; the proximity, capacity and cost of transportation; coal industry capacity; domestic and foreign governmental regulations and taxes, including those establishing air emission standards for coal-fueled power plants or mandating increased use of electricity from renewable energy sources; regulatory, administrative and judicial decisions, including those affecting future mining permits; and technological developments, including those intended to convert coal-to-liquids or gas and those aimed at capturing and storing carbon dioxide.
Risks Related to Our Securities
Insiders have substantial control over the company, and they could delay or prevent a change in our corporate control, even if our other stockholders wanted such a change to occur.
Our executive officers and directors as of October 12, 2017, in the aggregate, hold approximately 64.98% of our outstanding common stock, and are able to decide the rights and terms associated with the Company’s Preferred Stock, which decision may allow the Board of Directors to exercise significant control over all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. This could delay or prevent an outside party from acquiring or merging with us even if our other stockholders wanted it to occur.
The price at which investors purchase our common stock may not be indicative of the prevailing market price.
The stock market often experiences significant price fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of the specific companies whose stock is traded. These market fluctuations could adversely affect the trading price of our shares. Investors may be unable to sell their shares of common stock at or above their purchase price, which may result in substantial losses.
Since we do not currently meet the requirements for our stock to be quoted on NASDAQ, NYSE MKT LLC or any other senior exchange, the tradability in our securities will be limited under the penny stock regulations.
Under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, if the price of our securities on the OTCQB or OTC Markets is below $5.00 per share, our securities are within the definition of a “penny stock.” As a result, it is possible that our securities may be subject to the “penny stock” rules and regulations. Broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to certain types of investors are required to comply with the Commission’s regulations concerning the transfer of penny stock. These regulations require broker-dealers to:
*Make a suitability determination prior to selling penny stock to the purchaser;
*Receive the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction; and
*Provide certain written disclosures to the purchaser.
These requirements may restrict the ability of broker/dealers to sell our securities, and may affect the ability to resell our securities.
Our compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and SEC rules concerning internal controls may be time consuming, difficult and costly for us.
It may be time consuming, difficult and costly for us to develop and implement the internal controls and reporting procedures required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We may need to hire additional financial reporting, internal controls and other finance staff in order to develop and implement appropriate internal controls and reporting procedures. If we are unable to comply with the internal controls requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, we may not be able to obtain the independent accountant certifications that the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires publicly traded companies to obtain.
| 8 |
Our success depends on our management team and other key personnel, the loss of any of whom could disrupt our business operations.
Our future success will depend in substantial part on the continued service of our senior management and founder. The loss of the services of one or more of our key personnel could impede implementation and execution of our business strategy and result in the failure to reach our goals. We do not carry key person life insurance for any of our officers or employees. Our future success will also depend on the continued ability to attract, retain and motivate highly qualified personnel in the diverse areas required for continuing our operations. We cannot assure that we will be able to retain our key personnel or that we will be able to attract, train or retain qualified personnel in the future.
Our service strategy in merger and acquisition involves a number of risks and we have a limited history of successful acquisitions. Even when an acquisition is completed, we may have to continue our service for integration that may not produce results as positive as management may have projected.
The Company is in the process of evaluating various opportunities and negotiating to acquire other companies and technologies. Acquisitions entail numerous risks, including difficulties in the assimilation of acquired operations and products, diversion of management’s attention from other business concerns, amortization of acquired intangible assets and potential loss of key employees of acquired companies. We have limited experience in assimilating acquired organizations into our operations.

Holders of Common Equity:
There are approximately 1,277 shareholders of record of the Company’s common stock.
Dividends:
Cash dividend: The Company has not declared or paid a cash dividend to common stock shareholders since the Company’s inception. The Board of Directors presently intends to retain any earnings to finance company operations and does not expect to authorize cash dividends to common shareholders in the foreseeable future. Any payment of cash dividends in the future will depend upon Company’s earnings, capital requirements and other factors.
Share dividend: On March 12, 2012 the Board of Directors of the Company declared a special stock dividend to shareholders of Common Stock of the Company with the following stipulations: (a) Declaration date: March 16, 2012; (b) Record date: June 15, 2012; (c) Payment date: September 17, 2012; (d) Dividend ratio: All eligible shareholders of Common Stock of the Company as of the Record date shall receive three new shares of Common Stock of the Company for each share held by such shareholders as of the referenced record date. The purpose of this special stock dividend was to partially mitigate the impact of the dilution in connection with the 1-for-1,500 reverse split of the Common Stock on the Company’s long-term shareholders and reward them for staying with the Company. On June 6, 2012, the Company’s Board of Directors passed a resolution to change the record date for the special stock dividend to July 31, 2012 and the distribution date to November 30, 2012. The Company has reserved a total of 5,673,327 shares of Common Stock for this special dividend distribution and will reset a new distribution date when a registration statement for the dividend shares is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Forward-looking statements are statements that estimate the happening of future events and are not based on historical facts. Forward- looking statements may be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as “could”, “may”, “will”, “expect”, “shall”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “probable”, “possible”, “should”, “continue”, “intend” or similar terms, variations of those terms or the negative of those terms. The forward-looking statements specified in this report have been compiled by management of the Company on the basis of assumptions made by management and considered by management to be reasonable. Future operating results of the Company, however, are impossible to predict and no representation, guaranty, or warranty is to be inferred from those forward-looking statements. The assumptions used for purposes of the forward-looking statements specified in this report represent estimates of future events and are subject to uncertainty as to possible changes in economic, legislative, industry, and other circumstances. As a result, the identification and interpretation of data and other information and their use in developing and selecting assumptions from and among reasonable alternatives require the exercise of judgment. To the extent that the assumed events do not occur, the outcome may vary substantially from anticipated or projected results, and, accordingly, no opinion is expressed on the achievability of those forward-looking statements. In addition, those forward-looking statements have been compiled as of the date of this report and should be evaluated with consideration of any changes occurring after the date of this report. No assurance can be given that any of the assumptions relating to the forward-looking statements specified in this report are accurate and the Company assumes no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements.

Operating Expenses:
The Company incurred total operating expenses of $670,458 for the year ended June 30, 2017 as compared to $464,921 for the year ended June 30, 2016. This represents an increase of $205,537 or 44.21 % in total operating expenses from the prior year.

Income (loss) from operations:
The Company had a loss from operations of $556,958 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017 as compared to a loss from operations of $132,871 for the year ended June 30, 2016. This represents an increase of $424,087 or 319.17 % in loss from operations during the current year as compared to that of the precious year. This was mainly due to the fact that the Company generated $218,550 less in revenues while incurring $205,537 more in total operating expenses during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the corresponding items during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016.
| 12 |
Other income (expense)
The Company had a net other expense of $1,003,760 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017 as compared to a net other income of $124,873 for the prior year. This was primarily due to the fact the Company had an increase in interest expense of $258,985, a loss on sale of marketable securities of $2,874, a loss on sale of assets of $20,011, a loss on loan/note conversions of $131,818 and other expense of $322,495 in the current year as compared to the prior year.

CASH FLOWS

Net cash used in our operating activities was $6,924,748 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017 as compared to net cash used in operating activities of $1,849,100 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, respectively. The underlying reasons for the increase in net cash used in operating activities between the two periods were mainly due to an increase of $108,876 in other assets and pre-paid expenses, a decrease in accrued expenses of $5,254,654 due to reclassification to long-term liabilities, and an increase of $1,552,720 in net loss from operations between the current fiscal year and the previous fiscal year.
Net cash provided by investing activities was $224,688 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017 as compared to cash used in investing activities of $146,959 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, respectively. The underlying reasons for the change in net cash provided by (used in) investing activities between the two fiscal years were primarily due to write-offs of $157,733 from deposit for acquisition and other asset receivable, and the sale of land in Live Oak, Florida in connection with the closure of Cornerstone Biomass Corporation between the two corresponding fiscal years.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $6,735,447 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017 as compared to cash provided by financing activities of $$1,987,517 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, respectively. The underlying reasons for the increase in cash provided by financing activities during the current fiscal year were primarily due to a change from short-term to long-term liabilities of $5,722,056, proceeds from Common Stock of $907,261, and a change in other comprehensive income (loss) of $123,211 in the current fiscal year, as compared to the prior fiscal year.

COMPANY’S PLAN OF OPERATION FOR THE FOLLOWING 12 MONTHS
In the next twelve months the Company intends to continue pursuing its merger and acquisition program by acquiring all or controlling interests in target companies in a number of industries, including but not limited to energy, natural resources, agribusiness, technology, transportation, consumer goods, healthcare, biotechnology and pharmaceuticals. In addition, the Company also plans to invest in special situations that may potentially generate significant revenues and profitability for the Company in the short term. We believe that by closing one or more sizable acquisitions we will be able to build a critical mass and uplist to the Nasdaq Stock Market or NYSE in the near future. Moreover, we will continue to provide advisory and consulting services to international clients through our wholly owned subsidiary PHI Capital Holdings, Inc. The Company anticipates generating substantial amounts of revenues through the merger and acquisition program, investment in special situations, and advisory services mentioned herein. However, no assurances could be made that management would be successful in achieving its plan. The president and chairman of the Company has committed to funding the Company’s operations from various sources for the next 12 months.
| 15 |
FINANCIAL PLANS
MATERIAL CASH REQUIREMENTS: We must raise substantial amounts of capital to fulfill our plan of acquiring energy-related and natural resource assets as well as investing in special situations as part of our scope of business. We intend to use equity, debt and project financing to meet our capital needs for acquisitions and investments.
Management has taken action and formulated plans to strengthen the Company’s working capital position and generate sufficient cash to meet its operating needs through June 30, 2018 and beyond. The working capital cash requirements for the next 12 months are expected to be generated from operations, sale of marketable securities and additional financing. The Company plans to generate revenues from its consulting services, merger and acquisition advisory services, and acquisitions of target companies with cash flows.
AVAILABLE FUTURE FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS: The Company may use various sources of funds, including short-term loans, long-term debt, equity capital, and project financing as may be necessary. The Company believes it will be able to secure the required capital to implement its business plan; however, no assurances could be made that management would be successful in achieving its plan.
EB-5 IMMIGRATION INVESTOR PROGRAM:
The Company has filed an I-924 application with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) for the PHI Group EB5 Regional Center, LLC in order to raise capital through the EB-5 Immigration Investor Program in connection with the Company’s organic farming program, Abundant Farms, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and other potential business activities in the State of Florida. Under the EB-5 Program, created by Congress to stimulate the U.S. economy through job creation and capital investment, foreign entrepreneurs (and their spouses and unmarried children under 21) are eligible to apply for a Green Card (permanent residence) if they make the necessary investment in a commercial enterprise in the United States that creates or preserves at least 10 permanent, full-time jobs for qualified U.S. workers. The operation of this Regional Center is subject to the review and approval of United States Citizenship and Immigration Service.
EQUITY FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS:
On August 3, 2017, the Company entered into an Investment Agreement (“Investment Agreement”) with Azure Capital (the “Investor”). Pursuant to the Investment Agreement, the Investor committed to purchase up to $10,000,000 of the Company’s common stock over thirty-nine months (the “Equity Line”). The aggregate number of shares issuable by the Company and purchasable by Azure under the Investment Agreement is 65,445,000 (estimated using the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock on the OTCQB market on August 3, 2017 of $0.1528 per share). The Company may draw on the facility from time to time, as and when it determines appropriate in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Investment Agreement. The maximum amount that the Company is entitled to put in any one notice is the greater of (i) 200% of the average daily volume (U.S. market only) of the common stock for the three (3) trading days prior to the date of delivery of the applicable put notice, multiplied by the average of the closing prices for such trading days or (ii) $250,000. The purchase price shall be set at ninety-four per cent (94%) of the lowest daily VWAP of the Company’s common stock during the Pricing Period. However, if, on any trading day during a Pricing Period, the daily volume-weighted average price (VWAP) of the common stock is lower than the floor price specified by us in the put notice, then the Company reserves the right, to withdraw that portion of the put amount for each such trading day during the Pricing Period, with only the balance of such put amount above the minimum acceptable price being put to Azure. There are put restrictions applied on days between the put notice date and the closing date with respect to that particular put. During such time, the Company is not entitled to deliver another put notice.
There are circumstances under which the Company will not be entitled to put shares to Azure, including the following:
● the Company will not be entitled to put shares to Azure unless there is an effective registration statement under the Securities Act to cover the resale of the shares by Azure;
● the Company will not be entitled to put shares to Azure unless its common stock continues to be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, or becomes listed on a national securities exchange;
● the Company will not be entitled to put shares to Azure to the extent that such shares would cause Azure’ beneficial ownership to exceed 4.99% of our outstanding shares; and
● the Company will not be entitled to put shares to Azure prior to the closing date of the preceding put.
| 16 |
The Investment Agreement further provides that the Company and Azure are each entitled to customary indemnification from the other for any losses or liabilities we or it suffers as a result of any breach by the other of any provisions of the Investment Agreement or our registration rights agreement with Azure, or as a result of any lawsuit brought by a third-party arising out of or resulting from the other party’s execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of the Investment Agreement or the registration rights agreement.
The Investment Agreement also contains representations and warranties of each of the parties. The assertions embodied in those representations and warranties were made for purposes of the Investment Agreement and are subject to qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating the terms of the Investment Agreement. In addition, certain representations and warranties were made as of a specific date, may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from what a stockholder or investor might view as material, or may have been used for purposes of allocating risk between the respective parties rather than establishing matters as facts.
The Company also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with Azure on August 3, 2017. Pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company is obligated to file one or more registration statements with the SEC to register the resale by Azure of shares of common stock issued or issuable under the Investment Agreement. This registration process will continue until such time as all of the dollar amounts available under the credit line, using shares of common stock issuable under the Investment Agreement, have been registered for resale on effective registration statements. In no event will the Company be obligated to register for resale more than $10,000,000 in value of shares of common stock, or 65,445,000 shares (estimated using the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock on the OTCQB market on August 3, 2017 of $0.1528 per share).
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The following discussion about PHI Group Inc.’s market risk involves forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements.
Currency Fluctuations and Foreign Currency Risk
Some of our acquisition targets and partner companies are located outside of the United States and use currencies other than the U.S. dollar as the official currencies of those countries. The fluctuations of exchange rates in these countries may affect the value of our business.
Interest Rate Risk
We do not have significant interest rate risk, as most of our debt obligations are primarily short-term in nature to individuals, with fixed interest rates.
Valuation of Securities Risk
Since majority of our income is paid with the marketable securities, the value of our assets may fluctuate significantly depending on the market value of the securities we hold.

INDEX TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
| 18 |
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
PHI Group, Inc. (formerly Providential Holdings, Inc.)
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
PHI Group, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of PHI Group, Inc. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries as of June 30, 2017 and 2016, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Our audits included consideration of internal control relevant to the Company’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of PHI Group, Inc. as of June 30, 2017 and 2016, the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 22 to the financial statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $39,299,754 and total liabilities and stockholders’ deficit of $7,513,481 as of June 30, 2017. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plan in this regard is also described in Note 22. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS
ITEM 1. BUSINESS OVERVIEW
PHI Group, Inc. (the “Company” or “PHI”) is 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 on June 8, 1982 as JR Consulting, Inc., a Nevada corporation, the Company applied for a Certificate of Domestication and filed Articles of Domestication to become a Wyoming corporation on September 20, 2017. In the beginning, 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 financial services company, the Company changed its name to Providential Securities, Inc., a Nevada corporation, 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 and its subsidiaries were 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. - Vietnam), PHI Gold Corporation (formerly PHI Mining Corporation, a Nevada corporation), and PHI Energy Corporation (a Nevada corporation), and mainly focused on acquisition and development opportunities in energy and natural resource businesses. At the present, the Company is engaged in mergers and acquisitions as a principal and investments in natural resources, energy, agriculture, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology and special situations. 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 for other companies in a variety of industries.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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 PHI Group Regional Center, LLC as well as 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), Omni Resources, Inc., and Cornerstone Biomass Corp., collectively referred to as the “Company.” All significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 period. 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.
Each investment in marketable securities typically represents less than twenty percent (20%) of the outstanding common stock and stock equivalents of the investee, and each security is quoted on a national exchange or on the OTC Markets. As such, each investment is accounted for in accordance with the provisions of ASC 320 (previously 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 June 30, 2017 and 2016 the marketable securities have been recorded at $502,696 and $481,120, respectively based upon the fair value of the marketable securities at that time.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts. As of June 30, 2017, the Company had no accounts receivable.
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted ASC 350 (Previously SFAS 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”), which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets and 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 for a Disposal of a Segment of a Business.” The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used in accordance with ASC 350. ASC 350 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived assets. Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that fair market values are reduced for the cost of disposal.
| F-7 |
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Maintenance and repair costs are charged to expense as incurred; costs of major additions and betterments are capitalized. When property and equipment are sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in income. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from three to ten years.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION
The cost of property and equipment is depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Depreciation and amortization of fixed assets are computed on a straight-line basis.
NET EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 260 (previously SFAS 128). ASC 260 eliminates the presentation of primary and fully diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) and requires presentation of basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period and common stock equivalents outstanding at the end of the period.
The net earnings (loss) per share is computed as follows:
| 2017 | 2016 | |||||||
| Basic and diluted net loss per share: | ||||||||
| Numerator: | ||||||||
| Net income (loss) | $ | (1,560,718 | ) | $ | (7,998 | ) | ||
| Denominator: | ||||||||
| Basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding | 15,553,354 | 5,324,120 | ||||||
| Basic net income (loss) per share | $ | (0.10 | ) | $ | (0.00 | ) | ||
| Diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding | 15,553,354 | 5,324,120 | ||||||
| Diluted net income (loss) per share | $ | (0.10 | ) | $ | (0.00 | ) | ||
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.

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 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.
| F-9 |
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, short-term notes payable, convertible notes, derivative liabilities 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.
Effective July 1, 2008, the Company adopted ASC 820 (previously SFAS 157), Fair Value Measurements and adopted this Statement for the assets and liabilities shown in the table below. ASC 820 clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to measure fair value, and expands disclosures about the use of fair value measurements. The adoption of ASC 820 did not have a material impact on our fair value measurements. ASC 820 permits the Company to defer the recognition and measurement of the nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities until January 1, 2010. At June 30, 2017, the Company did not have any nonfinancial assets or nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value. ASC 820 requires that financial assets and liabilities that are reported at fair value be categorized as one of the types of investments based upon the methodology mentioned in Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 above for determining fair value.
Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below. The Company also has convertible notes and derivative liabilities as disclosed in this report that are measured at fair value on a regular basis until paid off or converted into common stock of the Company.
Available-for-sale securities
| Securities available for sale | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | ||||||||||||
| June 30, 2017 | $ | - | $ | 210,646 | $ | 292,050 | $ | 502,696 | ||||||||
| June 30, 2016 | $ | - | $ | 60,054 | $ | 323,717 | $ | 383,770 | ||||||||
The Company uses various approaches to measure fair value of available-for-sale securities, while applying the three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures, specified in ASC 820. Our Level 1 securities were measured using the quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
The company’s policy regarding the transfers in and/or out of Level 3 depends on the trading activity of the security, the volatility of the security, and other observable units which clearly represents the fair value of the security. If a level 3 security can be measured using a more fairly represented fair value, we will transfer these securities either into Level 1 or Level 2, depending on the type of inputs.

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.
ADVERTISING
The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising costs for the years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 were $31,413 and $79,072, respectively. The decrease in advertising expenses in the current year is primarily due to a reduction of $35,500 in investor relations expenses during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, as compared to the previous fiscal year.
COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)
ASC 220-10-45 (previously SFAS 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income) establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income is defined to include all changes in equity, except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Among other disclosures, SFAS No. 130 requires that all items that are required to be recognized under current accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. As of June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, accumulated other comprehensive incomes of $153,474 and $30,263 are presented on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740 (previously SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”). Deferred taxes are provided on the liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
REPORTING OF SEGMENTS
ASC 280 (previously Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information), which supersedes Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 14, Financial Reporting for Segments of a Business Enterprise, establishes standards for the way that public enterprises report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires reporting of selected information about operating segments in interim financial statements regarding products and services, geographic areas and major customers. ASC 280 defines operating segments as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company operated in one segment that generated revenues during the years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.
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.

NOTE 14 – BASIC AND DILUTED NET LOSS PER SHARE
Net loss per share is calculated in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share”.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
None.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), our management carried out an evaluation, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act), as of the period covered by this report. Disclosure controls and procedures are defined as controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed with the SEC under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon their evaluation, our management (including our Chief Executive Officer) concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2017, based on the material weaknesses defined below.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control of Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a set of processes designed by, or under the supervision of, a company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that:
| - | pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and dispositions of our assets, | |
| - | provide reasonable assurance that our transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of our financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors, and | |
| - | provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of authorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements. |
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. It should be noted that any system of internal control, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system will be met. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the Company’s management assessed the design and operating effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2017 based on the framework set forth in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.
If we fail to develop and maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results in a timely manner, which may adversely affect investor confidence in our company.
| 19 |
The material weaknesses related to a lack of a full segregation of duties and to our lack of sufficient personnel in our accounting and financial reporting functions with sufficient experience and expertise with respect to the application of U.S. GAAP and related financial reporting.
Based on this assessment, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of June 30, 2017.
Management’s Remediation Plan
We plan to take steps to enhance and improve the design of our internal control over financial reporting. During the period covered by this annual report on Form 10-K, we have not been able to remediate the material weaknesses identified above. To remediate such weaknesses, we plan to implement the following changes in the future:
| (i) | appoint additional qualified personnel to address inadequate segregation of duties and ineffective risk management; and |
| (ii) | adopt sufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting. |
The remediation efforts set out in (i) are largely dependent upon our company securing additional financing to cover the costs of implementing the changes required. If we are unsuccessful in securing such funds, remediation efforts may be adversely affected in a material manner. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.
Management believes that despite our material weaknesses set forth above, our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017 are fairly stated, in all material respects, in accordance with US GAAP.
Attestation Report of the Registered Accounting Firm
This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to Rule 308(b) of Regulation S-K, which permits the Company to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
No changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting have come to management’s attention during the Company’s last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
None.
