Investment Profile
OTC Markets: PHIL
PHI GROUP provides a unique opportunity for investors to capitalize on both
the growing demand for conventional energy in Asia Pacific in the near term
and the preferred solutions to energy problems using breakthrough
renewable energy technologies in the long term.
Company Description
PHI Group, Inc., formed in June 1982, is a publicly traded
company focused on energy and natural resources. The
company operates a trading division and collaborates with
producing mine owners to provide coal supplies and other
industrial products to end-buyers and importers. We also
acquire and accumulate a portfolio of our own energy assets in
Indonesia. In addition, we develop coal-fired power plants in
Vietnam in conjunction with local and international partners
and provide clean renewable energy solutions using wind
power, hydro-magnetic gravitational and other technologies.
Products and Services
Coal Business Our company’s coal business is
organized along three prongs:
Trading activity We have agreements with producing
mines and suppliers to provide coals and other minerals to
customers in China, Korea, India, Taiwan, Thailand,
Vietnam, etc. Average shipping volume for 2013 is
expected to be 300,000 to 600,000 MT per month.
Joint operations (JO) The Company collaborates
with producing mine owners in South, Central and East
Kalimantan, Indonesia through joint operation plans to
expand production capacities and provide coal supplies to
customers in Asia Pacific. We expect to generate revenues
from these JO agreements in three to six months.
Acquisitions of coal assets We have signed
agreements to acquire two coal concessions in Indonesia
with total reserves of 210 million MT. We plan to go into
production in 9 to 12 months after closing and anticipate
generating $20 million in revenues and $3.3 million in net
profit per month from these two mines by the second year
of operation. Our goal is to acquire one billion MT of coal
reserves in the next three to five years.
Coal-fired Power Plants
We have partnered with VIP Group and Hoang
Ngoc Joint Stock Company to develop three to five
coal-fired power plants with total capacity up to
6,000 MW in Quang Binh, Quang Tri, Khanh Hoa,
and An Giang Provinces, Vietnam. We will provide
advanced technologies to equip these plants and
engage key investors with operational history in the
area of thermal electric plants to participate in these
projects. In addition, we will provide coal supplies
from our coal concessions in Indonesia to these
power plants through long-term off-take contracts.
We plan to retain an equity interest in these power
plants.
Renewable Energy PHI GROUP partners with
three U.S. companies to provide clean renewable
energy solutions.
Global Sun Wind Power Corp. GSWP
supplies proven, patented wind energy, solar power,
and battery storage systems and back-up power
generators in a unified system. GSWP is currently working
on a $140 million electrification project in Uganda and a
$1.1 billion energy program for over 2,000 villages in
Rwanda under the auspices of the World Bank. We have an
effective Letter of Intent to acquire GSWP for a
combination of cash and stock in PHI GROUP.
Global Development Systems
The GDS’ Energy System is the world’s first, and only
hydro-magnetic gravitational renewable energy system that
provides unlimited clean energy by harnessing the forces of
gravity and waves in a controlled venture and business
cooperation agreements with GDS to set up pilot plants in
India and Indonesia as well market the technology in Asia
Pacific.
Makani Power Makani Power’s airborne wind turbines
eliminate 90% of the mass of conventional wind turbine
and access a stronger, more consistent wind at altitudes of
near 1,000 feet. This system is capable of delivering energy
at an unsubsidized cost competitive with coal, the current
benchmark for low-cost power. We have signed a business
cooperation agreement with Makani to provide this
technology system to the countries of Asia Pacific and
Australia.
Market and Competition
Energy demand growth According to the U.S.
Energy Information Administration, world marketed
energy consumption is projected to increase by 44% from
2006 to 2030. For coal consumption, annual world coal
demand is expected to grow from 7.6 billion tonnes in
2011 to 8.9 billion tonnes in 2016 and more than 85% of
global demand growth will come from China and India.
New coal-fueled generation of 395 GW is expected by
2016. In 2011, total global coal exports amounted to 1,040
million tonnes, of which Indonesia accounted for 319
million tonnes and Australia 281 million tonnes. Other
countries in Asia Pacific all need to import coal to generate
electricity. For example, by 2017, Vietnam will need to
import 24 mtpa and Malaysia 29.7 mtpa. Japan will shut
down 50 nuclear power plants by 2040 and will need to rely
on natural gas, coal and renewables to fill that gap.
Competition
Indonesia’s top six coal producers (Bumi, Adaro, Kideco,
Berau, Banpu, and PTBA) accounted for more than 75%
of Indonesia’s coal production between 2002 and 2009 and
plan to increase their production substantially over the next
decade. There are also numerous medium and small coal
miners in Indonesia that have longer operational history
and stronger financial strength than we. Our coal
production is expected to be less than one percent of the
total Indonesian coal output in the first two years
of operation.
Production Plan
For our coal business, we have established good
relationships with, and depending on each project,
will engage reputable mining consultants and
contractors such as Leighton, PAMA, Petrosea,
PT Thiess, PT Runge, and SRK Consulting, to
assist us in technical due diligence, feasibility
study, mine planning, and mine operation and
production. For our renewable energy businesses
and power plant developments, our industry
partners will manage the related technical and
operational aspects of each project.
Financial Plan
We will need to raise additional capital to
implement each stage of our business plan. We
have established a network of institutional
investors, strategic partners, investment bankers,
private equity funds and accredited individual
investors in the U.S., Europe and Asia that are
interested in investing in our company as well as
providing project financing, depending on each
particular project.
Company Guidance
The company revenue guidance for FY’s 2013 and
2014 are $1.85 million and $98.08 million with
projected profits of $838,140 and $17.62 million
respectively, based on our anticipated trading
activity, joint operations with local Indonesian
coal producers, and production from the two coal
concessions we are acquiring. We also expect to
see substantial increases in total revenues and
profits from the third year of mine operations
onward with multiple producing mines of our own
and additional benefits from renewable energy
business activities in the foreseeable future.
Risk Factors
• Early-stage enterprise
• Strength of the global economy;
• Demand for electricity;
• Global supply of coal;
• Political risk and inflation risks;
• Financing and operational risks.
