Providential Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB: PRVH) (FRANKFURT: PR7) (WKN
935160), a company engaged in mergers and acquisitions, real estate
development, mining and investing in special situations, today
announced financial results for the second quarter of fiscal year
2009, ended December 31, 2008.
Total revenues were $6,000 and $645,838 for the three months
ended December 31, 2008, and 2007, respectively, from management
services and consulting services. Total operating expenses were
$390,689 and $329,761 for the three months ended December 31, 2008,
and 2007, respectively. Total other expense was $2,061,905 for the
three months ended December 31, 2008 compared to $88,126 for the
three months ended December 31, 2007. A one-time loss of $2,074,647
was recognized for the adjustment of DDC Industries, Inc.'s stock
when this entity was restructured to become PHI Mining Group, Inc.
(PINKSHEETS: PHIG), now a majority owned subsidiary of the Company
focused on acquiring and developing industrial mineral
properties.
Net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2008 was
$2,442,175 as compared to a net income of $227,950 for the same
period in 2007, which is equivalent to $(0.01) and $0.00 per share,
respectively, based on the weighted average number of basic and
diluted shares outstanding.
The decrease in net income is primarily due to a decrease in
revenue of $639,838 and a loss of $1,927,880 due to the adjustment
of DDC Industries' marketable securities following its
restructuring for the three months ended December 31, 2008.
Total revenues were $1,994,220 and $674,338 for the six months
ended December 31, 2008, and 2007, respectively. We generated
$1,982,220 revenues from consulting services and $12,000 for
management fees for the six months ended December 31, 2008 compared
to $639,838 for consulting fees and $34,500 for management fees in
the six months ended December 31, 2007.
Net loss for the six months ended December 31, 2008 was
$768,196, compared to $109,460 for the same period in 2007, which
is equivalent to ($0.00) per share for both periods, based on the
weighted average number of basic and diluted shares outstanding.
The difference is primarily due to $1,319,882 increase in revenue,
offset by an increase in administrative and general expenses of
$34,428, increase in salaries and wages of $54,430 and increase in
professional service cost of $67,748. Increase in net loss was also
contributed by an increase of $1,815,963 in loss recognized due to
the restructuring of PHI Mining Group, offset by an increase of
$133,757 in gain on debt settlement which were not present during
the corresponding period in 2007.
Providential CEO Henry Fahman said, "Although we did not realize
significant revenue from our advisory and M&A activities for
the last quarter, we did secure a consulting contract during the
period, which is expected to generate substantial revenue for us
when completed. In addition, we were successful in restructuring
our mining business and currently own about 18 million shares of
common stock of PHI Mining Group. During the last quarter we also
applied for permission to trade our Philand Corporation's common
shares on the Open Market Segment of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange
and expect to receive the approval soon."
