Providential Holdings Reports Q2 FY '07 Financial Results

LOS ANGELES, CA and HO CHI MINH CITY, VIETNAM -- (MARKET WIRE) -- February 14, 2007 -- Providential Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB: PRVH) (German Stock Exchanges: PR7, WKN 935160), a company providing international advisory services specializing in mergers and acquisitions and also investing in the rapidly growing economies in Vietnam and Asia, reported today its financial results for the second fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2006.

The company reported revenues of $83,500 for the second quarter, as compared with revenues of $347,500 for the same period last year. Providential recognizes revenues associated with its consulting and advisory services only upon completion of all contracted services. Although no contracts were completed during the quarter, the company is currently providing advisory services to three clients. Providential anticipates the recognition of these revenues during the next one to two fiscal quarters.

Total operating expenses were $310,001 in the second quarter of 2007, compared to $233,912 in the same quarter in the previous fiscal year. The increase is attributed to slightly higher costs for salaries and wages, which were offset by a slight decrease in general and administrative expenses.

Net loss for the quarter was $333,166, compared to a net loss of $13,164 in the second fiscal quarter 2006. Both quarters had earnings per share of $0.00 based on the weighted average number of basic and diluted shares.

Providential Chairman and CEO Henry Fahman said, "Providential's presence and expertise in Vietnam and the Pacific Rim continue to attract new businesses and clients. We recently signed consulting agreements with two promising companies, Dai Dung Co. and Saplastic. Our second quarter financials do not reflect what we believe the true value of our contractual agreements to be because we recognize revenue only once a contract is completed, typically the day a client's shares begin trading in the U.S."

"During the quarter we became advisors to the Saigon A2 Fund, which aims to provide early and mezzanine financing to Vietnamese companies, allowing them to become publicly traded in Vietnam and the U.S. We signed a joint venture agreement with Cavico Vietnam to build and operate a cement factory in Phu Ly, Ha Nam Province, Vietnam and have already received an investment license from the Vietnamese government for this project. We are very encouraged by our prospects there. Additionally, we established an office in Europe to facilitate oil and gas transactions between Russia, China and Japan. We expect these new initiatives to generate substantial revenue and create significant value for our shareholders in the near future."
