RISK FACTORS
An investment in the securities registered hereby is highly speculative and involves a substantial degree of risk which should be considered only by persons who can afford to lose their entire investment. Investors should carefully consider each and every risk involved herein as well as all other information contained in this prospectus. Statements made in this prospectus may constitute forward-looking statements and are subject to many risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to, the failure of Providence to meet future capital needs and complete intended internal development due to difficulty, impracticality and/or impossibility. If any of the following risks actually occur, Providence’s business, financial condition and operating results could be materially adversely affected.
Risks Related To Providence’s Business
Providence has a history of operating losses and such losses may continue in the future.
Since Providence’s inception in 1993, our operations have resulted in a continuation of losses and an accumulated deficit of $16,192,258 at March 31, 2007. We will continue to incur operating losses until such time as we begin producing oil and gas revenue, which may or may not eventuate. Should we fail to produce oil and gas revenue we may continue to operate at a loss and may never be profitable.
Providence has a limited operating history.
Providence acquired Providence Exploration on September 29, 2006, which company first began oil and gas exploration operations during the fourth quarter of 2005. As such, our limited operating history provides an inadequate track record from which to base future projections of successful operation.
Providence has a history of uncertainty about continuing as a going concern.
Providence’s audits for the periods ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 expressed substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern as a result of recurring losses, an accumulated deficit of $15,914,684 as of December 31, 2006, and revenue generating activities that were insufficient to sustain operations. Unless we are able to cure this pattern of reoccurring losses and insufficient revenue, our ability to continue as a going concern will be in jeopardy.
Providence cannot represent that we will be successful in continuing operations.
Providence has not, to date, generated sufficient revenue from operations to cover expenses and may not generate sufficient revenue over the next twelve months to ensure continued oil and gas development operations. Should Providence be unable to realize sufficient revenue over that time period, it will be forced to raise additional capital to remain in operation. We have no commitments for the provision of additional capital and can offer no assurance that such capital will be available if necessary to continue operations.
4
We may not be successful in integrating the business operations of Providence Exploration, LLC into our business operations, stifling growth and disrupting our business.
Providence’s recent acquisition of Providence Exploration involves the integration of companies that have previously operated independently. Successful integration will depend on our ability to consolidate operations and procedures and to integrate Providence Exploration’s management team with our own. If we are unable to do so, we may not realize the anticipated potential benefits of the acquisition, our business development could be stifled, and results of operations may suffer. Difficulties could include the loss of key employees, the disruption of Providence Exploration’s ongoing businesses, and possible inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies.
We may be unable to manage the growth of our business which failure could negatively affect development, operating results, and fiscal independence.
We believe that if our growth plan is successful, our business will grow in size and complexity. Any new sustained growth would place a significant strain on our management systems and operational resources requiring us to recruit, hire and retain new managerial, finance and support personnel. Our ability to compete effectively would also require us to maintain and improve operational, financial, and management information systems on a timely basis. Should Providence be unable to manage growth effectively, both our business development and our operating results would be negatively effected which in turn would preclude us from becoming financially independent of outside funding sources.
Risks Related to the Oil and Gas Industry
Oil and natural gas drilling and producing operations involve various risks which could result in net losses.
Drilling activities are subject to many risks, including the risk that no commercially productive reservoirs will be discovered. Wells which we drill may not be productive, and, thus, we may not be able to recover all or any portion of our investment in such wells. Drilling for oil and natural gas may involve unprofitable efforts, not only from dry wells, but also from wells that are productive but do not produce sufficient net reserves to return a profit after deducting drilling, operating and other costs. The seismic data and other technologies which we use do not allow us to know conclusively prior to drilling a well that oil or natural gas is present or may be produced economically. The cost of drilling, completing and operating a well is often uncertain, and cost factors can reduce the feasibility of a project to produce a profit. Further, our drilling operations may be curtailed, delayed or canceled as a result of numerous factors, including:
|X| unexpected drilling conditions;
|X| title problems;
|X| pressure or irregularities in formations;
|X| equipment failures or accidents;
|X| adverse weather conditions;
|X| compliance with environmental and other governmental requirements; and
|X| cost of, or shortages or delays in the availability of, drilling rigs, equipment and services.
Our operations are subject to all the risks normally incident to the operation and development of oil and natural gas properties and the drilling of oil and natural gas wells, including:
5
|X| encountering well blowouts;
|X| cratering and explosions;
|X| pipe failure;
|X| fires;
|X| formations with abnormal pressures resulting in uncontrollable flows of oil and natural gas;
|X| brine or well fluids; and
|X| release of contaminants into the environment and other environmental hazards and risks.
The nature of these risks is such that some liabilities including environmental fines and penalties could exceed our ability to pay for the damages. We could incur significant costs due to these risks that could result in net losses.
Providence is subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations which could create liability for personal injuries, property damage, and environmental damages.
Exploration and development, exploitation, production and sale of oil and natural gas in the United States is subject to extensive federal, state and local laws and regulations, including complex tax laws and environmental laws and regulations. Existing laws or regulations, as currently interpreted or reinterpreted in the future, or future laws or regulations could harm Providence’s business, results of operations and financial condition. We may be required to make large expenditures to comply with environmental and other governmental regulations. Matters subject to regulation include oil and gas production and saltwater disposal operations and our processing, handling and disposal of hazardous materials, such as hydrocarbons and naturally occurring radioactive materials, discharge permits for drilling operations, spacing of wells, environmental protection, reports concerning operations, and taxation. Under these laws and regulations, we could be liable for personal injuries, property damage, oil spills, discharge of hazardous materials, reclamation costs, remediation, clean-up costs and other environmental damages.
Shortages of oil field equipment, services and qualified personnel could reduce Providence’s profit margin, cash flow and operating results.
The demand for qualified and experienced field personnel to drill wells and conduct field operations, geologists, geophysicists, engineers and other professionals in the oil and natural gas industry can fluctuate significantly, often in correlation with oil and natural gas prices, causing periodic shortages. There have also been shortages of drilling rigs and other equipment, as demand for rigs and equipment has increased along with the number of wells being drilled. These factors also cause significant increases in costs for equipment, services and personnel. Higher oil and natural gas prices generally stimulate increased demand and result in increased prices for drilling rigs, crews and associated supplies, equipment and services. We cannot be certain when or if we will experience these issues and these types of shortages or price increases which could significantly decrease any profit margin, cash flow and operating results on any particular well or restrict our ability to drill additional wells.
The results of Providence’s operations depend on the exploration efforts of Harding Company and TRNCO Petroleum Corporation, both of which are third parties.
The management of exploration efforts in Comanche and Hamilton Counties is dependent on an independent local operator, Harding Company, while 3D seismic exploration of oil and natural gas prospects in Val Verde is dependent on an independent local company, TRNCO Petroleum Corporation. The fact that Providence is dependent on the operations of third parties for the results of exploration efforts and the prospective production of oil and natural gas assets could impede our ability to realize a net profit from operations.
6
Oil and natural gas prices are volatile, and any substantial decrease in prices could cause Providence to continue to operate at a loss.
Our future financial condition, results of operations and the carrying value of our oil and natural gas properties will depend primarily upon the prices we receive for production. Oil and natural gas prices historically have been volatile and are likely to continue to be volatile in the future. Our cash flow from operations will be highly dependent on the prices that we receive for oil and natural gas. This price volatility also affects the amount of cash flow available for capital expenditures and our ability to borrow money or raise additional capital. The prices for oil and natural gas are subject to a variety of additional factors that are beyond our control. These factors include:
|X| the level of consumer demand;
|X| the domestic supply;
|X| domestic governmental regulations and taxes;
|X| the price and availability of alternative fuel sources;
|X| weather conditions; and
|X| market uncertainty.
These factors and the volatility of the energy markets generally make it extremely difficult to predict future oil and natural gas price movements with any certainty. Declines in oil and natural gas prices would not only reduce future revenue, but could reduce the amount of oil and natural gas that we can produce economically and, as a result, could cause us to continue to operate at a loss. Should the oil and natural gas industry experience significant price declines, we may continue to operate at a loss.
Risks Related to Providence’s Shares
Providence does not pay dividends.
Providence does not pay dividends. Providence has not paid any dividends since inception and has no intention of paying any dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future dividends would be at the discretion of our board of directors and would depend on, among other things, future earnings, our operating and financial condition, our capital requirements, and general business conditions. Therefore, shareholders should not expect any type of cash flow from their investment.
Return of investor’s capital contributions is not guaranteed.
The shares registered hereby are speculative and involve a high degree of risk. There can be no guarantee that shareholders will realize a substantial return on an investment, or any return at all, or that he or she will not lose their entire investment. For this reason, each investor should read this registration statement carefully and should consult with his or her legal counsel, accountant(s), or business advisor(s) prior to making any investment decision.
Providence may require additional capital funding.
There can be no guarantee that we will not require additional funds, either through additional equity offerings or debt placements, in order to expand our operations. Such additional capital may result in dilution to our current shareholders. Further, our ability to meet short-term and long-term financial commitments will depend on future cash. There can be no assurance that future income will generate sufficient funds to enable us to meet our financial commitments.
7
If the market price of our common stock declines as the selling security holders sell their stock, the selling security holders or others may be encouraged to engage in short selling, further depressing the market price.
The significant downward pressure on the price of the common stock as the selling security holders sell material amounts of common stock could encourage short sales by the selling security holders or others. Short selling is the selling of a security that the seller does not own, or any sale that is completed by the delivery of a security borrowed by the seller. Short sellers assume that they will be able to buy the stock at a lower amount than the price at which they sold it short. Significant short selling of a company’s stock creates an incentive for market participants to reduce the value of that company’s common stock. If a significant market for short selling our common stock develops, the market price of our common stock could be significantly depressed.
Future shareholders of Providence’s preferred stock may face certain risks.
Providence has 25,000,000 shares of authorized preferred stock. Though no shares are currently issued and outstanding, shares may be issued in the future, which shares will involve a high degree of risk. The preferred stock authorized in the articles of incorporation, allows the board of directors to designate the dividend, voting, conversion and liquidation rights or preferences of any class of preferred stock. However, the board of directors has never designated any class or series of preferred stock, nor has it ever set forth any description or designation of the rights or preferences of the preferred stock. As such, the board of directors may not allow dividends, voting, conversion, or liquidation rights. Additionally, the designation may change from time to time.
Providence’s shareholders may face significant restrictions on their stock.
Providence’s stock differs from many stocks in that it is a “penny stock.” The Commission has adopted a number of rules to regulate “penny stocks” including, but not limited to, those rules from the Securities Act as follows:
| | | | 3a51- | 1which defines penny stock as, generally speaking, those securities which are not listed on either NASDAQ or a national securities exchange and are priced under $5, excluding securities of issuers that have net tangible assets greater than $2 million if they have been in operation at least three years, greater than $5 million if in operation less than three years, or average revenue of at least $6 million for the last three years; | |
| | | | 15g-1 | which outlines transactions by broker/dealers which are exempt from 15g-2 through 15g-6 as those whose commissions from traders are lower than 5% total commissions; | |
15g-2 which details that brokers must disclose risks of penny stock on Schedule 15G;
15g-3 which details that broker/dealers must disclose quotes and other info relating to the penny stock market;
15g-4 which explains that compensation of broker/dealers must be disclosed;
15g-5 which explains that compensation of persons associated in connection with penny stock sales must be disclosed;
15g-6 which outlines that broker/dealers must send out monthly account statements; and
15g-9 which defines sales practice requirements.
8
Since Providence’s securities constitute a “penny stock” within the meaning of the rules, the rules would apply to us and our securities. Because these rules provide regulatory burdens upon broker-dealers, they may affect the ability of shareholders to sell their securities in any market that may develop; the rules themselves may limit the market for penny stocks. Additionally, the market among dealers may not be active. Investors in penny stock often are unable to sell stock back to the dealer that sold them the stock. The mark-ups or commissions charged by the broker-dealers may be greater than any profit a seller may make. Because of large dealer spreads, investors may be unable to sell the stock immediately back to the dealer at the same price the dealer sold the stock to the investor. In some cases, the stock may fall quickly in value. Investors may be unable to reap any profit from any sale of the stock, if they can sell it at all.
Shareholders should be aware that, according to Commission Release No. 34-29093 dated April 17, 1991, the market for penny stocks has suffered from patterns of fraud and abuse. These patterns include:
o control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer;
o manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases;
o “boiler room” practices involving high pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons;
o excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and
o the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the inevitable collapse of those prices with consequent investor losses.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements
When used in this prospectus, the words “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “plans”, and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The outcomes expressed in such statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected, including the risks described in this Risk Factors section. Given these uncertainties, prospective investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these statements. Providence also undertakes no obligation to update these forward-looking statements.
USE OF PROCEEDS
All proceeds from the sale of the common shares by the selling security holders will go to the selling security holders who offer and sell their shares. Providence will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the common shares by the selling security holders. However, we will receive approximately $6,470,457 if the selling security holders exercise their warrants in full. The warrant holders may exercise their warrants at any time until their expiration, as further described in the Description of Securities section. Since the warrant holders may exercise the purchase warrants in their own discretion, we cannot plan on any specific uses of proceeds beyond the application of proceeds to general corporate purposes.
Providence will bear all expenses incident to the registration of the shares of common stock under federal and state securities laws other than expenses incident to the delivery of the shares to be sold by the selling security holders. Any transfer taxes payable on the shares to be sold by the selling security holders and any commissions and discounts payable to underwriters, agents, brokers or dealers will be paid by the selling security holders.

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
The selling security holders will determine at what price they may sell the offered shares, and such sales may be made at prevailing market prices, or at privately negotiated prices.
SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS
As of May 24, 2007, 52,355,539 common shares of Providence’s common stock are held of record by 242 shareholders.
The following tables set forth the names of the selling security holders and the number of shares of common stock and warrants to purchase shares of common stock owned beneficially by each selling security holder as of May 24, 2007. Except as may be identified in the tables, none of the selling security holders have, or within the past three years have had, any position, office or material relationship with Providence or any of our predecessors or affiliates. The tables have been prepared based upon information furnished to Providence by or on behalf of the selling security holders.
The selling security holders may decide to sell all, some, or none (or exercise and sell all, some or none) of the securities listed below. Providence cannot provide any estimate of the number of securities that any of the selling security holders will hold in the future. The securities (including those shares to be issued upon exercise of the warrants) beneficially owned by each of the selling security holders are being registered to permit public secondary trading, and the selling security holders may offer these shares for resale from time to time. See Plan of Distribution.
For purposes of the following tables, beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Commission, and includes voting power and investment power with respect to such shares. All percentages are approximate. As explained below under Plan of Distribution, Providence has agreed to bear certain expenses (other than broker discounts and commissions, if any) in connection with the registration statement, which includes this prospectus. Further information concerning all of the following selling security holders and securities is listed under the section title Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities, below. The following table’s warrant exercise price is $1.00. None of the security holders in the following table are broker-dealers.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Providence is registering a total of 19,193,070 shares of common stock and shares underlying warrants to purchase common stock for resale on behalf of our selling security holders. The selling security holders or pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in interest selling shares received from a named selling security holder as a gift, partnership distribution or other non-sale-related transfer after the effective date of this registration statement may sell the shares from time to time. Registration of the common stock does not mean, however, that the common stock will be offered or sold. The selling security holders may also decide not to sell all or any of the shares they are allowed to sell under this registration statement.
18
The selling security holders will act independently of Providence in making any decision with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale. The sales may be made in negotiated transactions or on the over-the-counter market at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. The selling security holders could effect such transactions by selling the shares to or through broker-dealers by one or more of, or a combination of, the following mechanisms:
o a block trade in which the broker-dealer so engaged attempts to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction,
o purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by such broker-dealer for its account pursuant to this registration statement,o an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of such exchange, ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers, and
o privately negotiated transactions.
Providence will file post-effective amendments to this registration statement as required, to include any additional or changed material information pertinent to this plan of distribution or any facts or events, which individually or together represent a fundamental change in the information contained in this registration statement. Further, Providence’s responsibilities will include the obligation to file a post-effective amendment to this registration statement upon being notified by a selling security holder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of shares through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker-dealer. Post-effective amendment will disclose:
o the name of each such selling shareholder and the participating broker-dealer,
o the number of shares involved,
o the price at which such shares will be sold,
o the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such broker-dealer, where applicable,
o that such broker-dealer did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in this registration statement, and
o additional facts material to the transaction.
The selling security holders could enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers in connection with distributions of Providence’s common stock or otherwise. Pursuant to such transactions, broker-dealers could engage in short sales of the shares in the course of hedging the positions they assume with selling security holders. The selling security holders could also sell shares short and redeliver Providence’s common stock to close out such short positions. The selling security holders could enter into an option or other transactions with broker-dealers which require the delivery to the broker-dealer of Providence’s common stock. The broker-dealer could then resell or otherwise transfer such shares pursuant to this registration statement. The selling security holders could also loan or pledge the shares to a broker-dealer. The broker-dealer may sell common stock so loaned, or upon default the broker-dealer may sell the pledged shares pursuant to this registration statement.
Broker-dealers or agents may receive compensation in the form of commissions, discounts or concessions from the selling security holders. Broker-dealers or agents may also receive compensation from the purchasers of Providence’s common stock for whom they act as agents or to whom they sell as principals, or both. Compensation as to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions and will be in amounts to be negotiated in connection with our common stock.
19
Selling security holders, broker-dealers and agents may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in connection with the sale of the shares. Accordingly, any commission, discount or concession received by them and any profit on the resale of Providence’s common stock purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act. Since the selling security holders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act, the selling security holders will be subject to the registration statement delivery requirements of the Securities Act. Further, any securities covered by this registration statement which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this registration statement.
The selling security holders have advised Providence that they have not entered into any agreements, understandings or arrangements with any underwriters or broker-dealers regarding the sale of their securities. No underwriter or coordinating broker is acting in connection with the proposed sale of shares by the selling security holders.
Providence’s common stock may be sold only through registered or licensed brokers if required under applicable state securities laws. Further, in certain states, our common stock can not be sold unless registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and met.
Under the applicable rules and regulations of the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of Providence’s common stock may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to Providence’s shares for a period of five business days prior to the commencement of such distribution. Further, each selling security holder will be subject to the applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the associated rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, including Regulation M, which provisions limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares of Providence’s common stock by the selling security holders. Providence will make copies of this registration statement available to the selling security holders and have informed them of the need for delivery of copies of this registration statement to purchasers at or prior to the time of any sale of our common stock.
Providence will bear all costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration of our common stock. The selling security holders will bear all commissions and discounts, if any, attributable to the sales of shares. The selling security holders may agree to indemnify any broker-dealer or agent that participates in transactions involving sales of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Providence is not a party to any pending legal proceeding or litigation. Further, Providence’s officers and directors know of no legal proceedings against them or Providence’s business being contemplated by any governmental authority.

Board of Directors Committees
The board of directors has not established an audit, nomination, or compensation committee. An audit committee typically reviews, acts on and reports to the board of directors with respect to various auditing and accounting matters, including the recommendations and performance of independent auditors, the scope of the annual audits, fees to be paid to the independent auditors, and internal accounting and financial control policies and procedures. Certain stock exchanges currently require companies to adopt a formal written charter that establishes an audit committee that specifies the scope of an audit committee’s responsibilities and the means by which it carries out those responsibilities. In order to be listed on any of these exchanges, Providence will be required to establish an audit committee.
Directors currently are not reimbursed for out-of-pocket costs incurred in attending meetings and no director receives any compensation for services rendered as a director. Providence will most likely adopt a provision for compensating directors in the future.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
The following is a summary of the material terms of Providence’s capital stock. This summary is subject to and qualified by our articles of incorporation and bylaws.
22
Common Stock
As of May 24, 2007, there were approximately 242 shareholders of record holding a total of 52,355,539 shares of fully paid and non-assessable common stock of the 250,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001, authorized. The board of directors believes that the number of beneficial owners is substantially greater than the number of record holders because a portion of our outstanding common stock is held in broker “street names” for the benefit of individual investors. The holders of the common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders. Holders of the common stock have no preemptive rights and no right to convert their common stock into any other securities.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FORSECURITIES
ACT LIABILITIES
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. If a claim for indemnification is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue, unless the indemnification claim is for expenses incurred by one of the registrant’s directors, officers or controlling persons in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding.
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Business
Providence was incorporated under the laws of the State of Texas on February 17, 1993, as “GFB Alliance Services, Inc.” We have since undergone several name changes and on May 13, 1999, pursuant to an amendment to our articles of incorporation, adopted the name “Healthbridge, Inc.” During early 2002 we acquired exclusive ownership of the Valides® Modular Infectious Waste Disposal System and the Medides System. The acquisition included all the intellectual property associated with the technologies including patents, patents pending, proprietary software, and licenses required to manufacture, operate and market these technologies worldwide. Prior to year end 2005 we decided to discontinue all operations connected to the Valides® Modular Infectious Waste Disposal System and the Medides System due to our inability to successfully commercialize this technology.
Providence decided to enter into the oil and gas business in November of 2005. We executed a secured promissory note with Providence Exploration dated December 1, 2005, to loan up to $5,000,000 to fund its oil and gas exploration and development activities and lease purchases. On April 10, 2006, we executed a Securities Exchange Agreement with Providence Exploration and the membership unit holders of Providence Exploration and concurrently entered into a Note Exchange Agreement with the holders of certain of Providence Exploration’s promissory notes, which agreements resulted in the acquisition of Providence Exploration as a wholly owned subsidiary on September 29, 2006. Our name was effectively changed from “Healthbridge, Inc.” to “Providence Resources, Inc.” on October 3, 2006.
Providence is now involved in the exploration and development of oil and gas in Hamilton, Comanche and Val Verde Counties, Texas. We are also involved in the purchase, refurbishment and sale of drilling and service rigs through Providence Exploration’s wholly owned subsidiary PDX Drilling I, LLC on site in Young County, Texas.
24
Oil and Gas Exploration in Comanche and Hamilton Counties
On October 1, 2005, Providence Exploration purchased interests in approximately 6,272 acres of oil and gas leases located in Comanche and Hamilton Counties, Texas, from Harding Company, in exchange for $3,136,273. Providence Exploration acquired a 90% working interest while Harding Company retained a 10% working interest in the leases. Providence Exploration is entitled to earn a 68.4% net revenue interest subject to fulfilling its financial commitments to the exploration and development of the leases. Harding Company remains responsible for conducting seismic research on the leases, making recommendations on drill site locations, and drilling and operating wells located on the leases.
Providence Exploration is responsible for one hundred percent (100%) of the costs associated with conducting the seismic program, drilling, and completing the wells on the project. Harding Company is responsible for ten percent (10%) of future expenses related to the shipment of any gas produced from project wells. Under this arrangement, Providence Exploration intends to develop and produce oil and gas from the Marble Falls and Barnett Shale and Strawn formations in prospect specific areas of the Fort Worth basin.
Harding Company.
Harding Company (www.hardingcompany.com) is a 52 year old, Dallas-based oil and gas exploration, development and operating company. While Harding Company has conducted operations throughout Texas and the region, it is currently primarily engaged in conducting operations in the Barnett Shale. Harding Company has extensive experience in implementing 3D seismic and horizontal drilling techniques.
Development Activities to Date.
Since executing a Joint Exploration Agreement, Providence Exploration and Harding Company have completed seismic and initial seismic and drilling operations. Based on the results of these seismic operations, Providence Exploration acquired an additional 1,102.53 acres in Comanche County from Harding Company in July of this year for $330,751.50, bringing the total acreage leased by us in Comanche and Hamilton Counties to 7,374 acres. Results obtained, as available, for the four initial drill sites in Comanche County are as follows:
|X| The Marrs # 1 well has been drilled to test the Strawn formation. An evaluation of the well is in process.
|X| The Steward #1H well was completed in the Barnett Shale formation and fractures
| stimulated in three individual fracture stages on October 27, 2006. The well flowed back fracture treatment fluid from October 27 to November 6, 2006, which was followed by swabbing, that resulted in the recovery of 98% of the fluid treatment volume. Gas lift with nitrogen was conducted to increase fluid recovery and total treatment recovery was increased to 132%. However, a high water production rate of greater than 1,000 barrels of water per day hindered prospective gas production which prevented a commercial Barnett Shale completion. Operations at the Steward #1H are currently suspended pending further evaluation. |
25
|X| The Nowell #1H well was completed in the Barnett Shale formation and fractures stimulated
| in four individual fracture stages on October 25, 2006. The well flowed back fracture treatment fluid until tubing was run in the well. Artificial lift operations were conducted using a swab unit followed by gas lift with nitrogen. Gas lift was installed to remove fluids at an increased rate. To date, a volume equal to 95% of the total fluid treatment volume has been recovered from the Barnett Shale completion. A high water production rate of greater than 1,000 barrels of water per day gas production has hindered gas production and prevented a commercial Barnett Shale completion. The initial Barnett Shale completion has since been abandoned with a cast iron bridge plug set over the Barnett Shale perforations and a recompletion to the Ellenberger breccia porosity is currently being tested. The Ellenberger breccia porosity has been perforated and swabbed down with a showing of oil and limited water production. Harding intends to conduct an acid treatment on the well and to test the Ellenberger breccia porosity further for oil and gas. |
|X| The Patton #2H well has been drilled 3,752 feet into the Ellenberger formation and
| subsequently logged. The logs are being reviewed and evaluated at this time. The well is located in close proximity to the Providence-owned pipeline infrastructure. |
Our oil and gas pipeline infrastructure is a five mile, 6 and 5/8 inch, pipeline gathering system in Southeast Comanche County which has been constructed by Comanche County Pipeline, LLC, a partnership owned 90% by Providence Exploration, LLC and 10% by Harding Company and others. The system will gather gas to an existing hydrocarbon dew point control plant that will be capable of handling any gas production. Should gas production reach 500 MCF per day the system will need to be extended. An extension would increase capacity to as much as 5,000 MCF per day and would be able to deliver volumes directly into an existing Atmos Texas Pipeline system in Hamilton County. Our gathering system is designed and constructed to meet or exceed all Department of Transportation and Texas Railroad Commission regulations. When the system is complete, it will allow future production to flow directly to competitive markets which will assure consistent prices for any production.
Providence has suspended any further drilling on the Comanche and Hamilton County leases until such time as a full evaluation of those drill results obtained to date can be properly analyzed to determine future prospects for gas production from these leases.
Oil and Gas Exploration in Val Verde County
On March 30, 2006, Providence Exploration purchased approximately 12,832 acres of oil and gas leases located in Val Verde County, Texas from Global Mineral Solutions, L.P. located in Val Verde County, Texas, in exchange for $3,849,600, of which $1,924,800 was paid in cash and $1,924,500 by a promissory note which was converted into 3,500,000 shares of our common stock on October 4, 2006. Global Mineral Solutions, L.P. retained a thirteen percent (13%) carried interest in the leases that will convert to a 13% working interest after the completion of the first eight wells.
Description of Val Verde Target.
The Val Verde leases include multiple deep drilling targets for natural gas exploration, development and production within the Ellenberger carbonate, Strawn carbonate and Pennsylvanian-Wolfcamp sandstone reservoirs.
26
TRNCO Petroleum Corporation.
Providence recently engaged TRNCO Petroleum Corporation of Midland, Texas to implement an I/O System Two recording system in combination with the latest generation of state-of-the-art acquisition and processing parameters to obtain high quality 3D seismic data for those leases located in Val Verde County. The data is intended to illuminate deep gas targets at depths ranging from 14,000 to 16,000 feet within the identified carbonates. TRNCO will supervise the acquisition, processing, licensing and interpretation of all seismic data and has engaged Dawson Geophysical Company to be responsible for obtaining the actual 3D seismic data. Founded in 1952, Dawson is a leading provider of onshore seismic data acquisition and processing services that operates two state-of-the-industry data processing centers in Houston and Midland, Texas, staffed by experienced geophysicists. The processing professionals use the latest kits of powerful processing tools and back their analytical excellence with practical geophysical field experience in correlating complex producing horizons. Dawson’s prior experience in the Val Verde Basin is expected to be of considerable benefit to Providence in acquiring reliable 3D seismic data.
Permitting, seismic data acquisition and interpretation is expected to require up to six months with plans for immediate drilling on the Val Verde leases anticipated immediately thereafter. Val Verde County has substantial gas gathering systems and pipeline infrastructure in place that will facilitate delivery of prospective production from the leases.
Acquisition and Disposition of Drilling and Service Rigs
PDX Drilling I, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Providence Exploration, was formed to acquire, refurbish and sell drilling and service rigs, in addition to providing drilling services. Drilling rigs are used to drill oil and gas wells while service rigs are used to rework and maintain existing oil and gas wells. PDX initially acquired one drilling rig, two service rigs, and the basic components to build two additional drilling rigs. Subsequently, PDX sold one service rig and one drilling rig. The other service rig was destroyed in an accident and PDX currently has a claim against the insurance for this rig. Due to a slow down in the drilling and service rig market in late 2005 and 2006 PDX decided to wind down its drilling and service rig acquisition and sales operations. PDX is now in the process of selling the components for the two remaining drilling rigs.
Provision of Drilling Services
During the last half of 2005 and the first calendar quarter of 2006, PDX provided drilling services to operators in the area surrounding Graham, Texas. During such period, PDX drilled four wells and serviced a number of existing wells. PDX has since ceased to offer drilling services due to difficulties associated with engaging qualified personnel and operators to provide such services and an overall increase in costs associated with providing drilling services.
Competition
The oil and gas business in Texas is highly competitive. We compete with over 1,000 independent companies, many with greater financial resources and larger staff than we have available. Texas hosts approximately 40 significant independent operators including Marathon Oil, Houston Exploration Company and Newfield Exploration Company in addition to over 950 smaller operations with no single producer dominating the area. Major operators such as Exxon, Shell Oil, ConocoPhillips, Mobil and others that are considered major players in the oil and gas industry retain significant interests in Texas. We believe that we can successfully compete against the independent companies by focusing our efforts on the efficient development of our leases.
27
Market
The products to be sold by us, oil and natural gas, are commodities purchased by many distribution and retail companies. Crude oil can be sold whenever it is produced subject to transportation cost. Natural gas requires transportation from point of production to the purchaser by pipeline.
Patents, Trademarks, Licenses, Franchises,Concessions,
Royalty Agreements and Labor Contracts
We currently have no patents, trademarks, licenses, franchises, concessions, or labor contracts. However, the leases acquired for oil, gas and mineral interests do provide for the provision of royalty payments in the event that production is realized from the leases.
Government Regulation of Exploration and Production
Providence’s oil and gas exploration, including future production and related operations are subject to extensive rules and regulations promulgated by federal and state agencies. Failure to comply with such rules and regulations can result in substantial penalties. The regulatory burden on the oil and gas industry adds to our cost of doing business and affects our profitability. Because such rules and regulations are frequently amended or interpreted differently by regulatory agencies, we are unable to accurately predict the future cost or impact of complying with such laws.
Providence’s oil and gas exploration and future production operations are and will be affected by state and federal regulation of gas production, federal regulation of gas sold in interstate and intrastate commerce, state and federal regulations governing environmental quality and pollution control, state limits on allowable rates of production by a well or pro-ration unit and the amount of gas available for sale, state and federal regulations governing the availability of adequate pipeline and other transportation and processing facilities, and state and federal regulation governing the marketing of competitive fuels. For example, a productive gas well may be “shut-in” because of an over-supply of gas or lack of an available gas pipeline in the areas in which we may conduct operations. State and federal regulations generally are intended to prevent waste of oil and gas, protect rights to produce oil and gas between owners in a common reservoir, control the amount of oil and gas produced by assigning allowable rates of production and control contamination of the environment. Pipelines are subject to the jurisdiction of various federal, state and local agencies.
Many state authorities require permits for drilling operations, drilling bonds and reports concerning operations and impose other requirements relating to the exploration and production of oil and gas. Such states also have ordinances, statutes or regulations addressing conservation matters, including provisions for the unitization or pooling of properties, the regulation of spacing, plugging and abandonment of wells, and limitations establishing maximum rates of production from wells. However, no Texas regulations provide such production limitations with respect to our operations.
Environmental Regulation
The recent trend in environmental legislation and regulation has been generally toward stricter standards, and this trend will likely continue. Providence does not presently anticipate that we will be required to expend amounts relating to future oil and gas production operations that are material in relation to our total capital expenditure program by reason of environmental laws and regulations, but because such laws and regulations are subject to interpretation by enforcement agencies and are frequently changed by legislative bodies, we are unable to accurately predict the ultimate cost of such compliance for 2007.
28
Providence is subject to numerous laws and regulations governing the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to environmental protection. These laws and regulations may require the acquisition of a permit before drilling commences, restrict the types, quantities and concentration of various substances that can be released into the environment in connection with drilling and production activities, limit or prohibit drilling activities on certain lands lying within wilderness, wetlands, and areas containing threatened and endangered plant and wildlife species, and impose substantial liabilities for unauthorized pollution resulting from our operations.
The following environmental laws and regulatory programs appear to be the most significant to our operations in 2007:
Clean Water and Oil Pollution Regulatory Programs — The federal Clean Water Act (“CWA”) regulates discharges of pollutants to surface waters. The discharge of crude oil and petroleum products to surface waters also is precluded by the Oil Pollution Act (“OPA”). Our operations are inherently subject to accidental spills and releases of crude oil and drilling fluids that may give rise to liability to governmental entities or private parties under federal, state or local environmental laws, as well as under common law. Minor spills may occur from time to time during the normal course of our future production operations. We will maintain spill prevention control and countermeasure plans (“SPCC plans”) for facilities that store large quantities of crude oil or petroleum products to prevent the accidental discharge of these potential pollutants to surface waters.
Clean Air Regulatory Programs — Our operations are subject to the federal Clean Air Act (“CAA”), and state implementing regulations. Among other things, the CAA requires all major sources of hazardous air pollutants, as well as major sources of certain other criteria pollutants, to obtain operating permits, and in some cases, construction permits. The permits must contain applicable Federal and state emission limitations and standards as well as satisfy other statutory and regulatory requirements. The 1990 Amendments to the CAA also established new monitoring, reporting, and recordkeeping requirements to provide a reasonable assurance of compliance with emission limitations and standards. Providence currently obtains construction and operating permits for our compressor engines; we are not presently aware of any potential adverse claims in this regard.
Waste Disposal Regulatory Programs — Our operations will generate and result in the transportation and disposal of large quantities of produced water and other wastes classified by EPA as “non-hazardous solid wastes”. The EPA is currently considering the adoption of stricter disposal and clean-up standards for non-hazardous solid wastes under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (“RCRA”). In some instances, EPA has already required the clean up of certain non-hazardous solid waste reclamation and disposal sites under standards similar to those typically found only for hazardous waste disposal sites. It also is possible that wastes that are currently classified as “non-hazardous” by EPA, including some wastes generated during our drilling and production operations, may in the future be reclassified as “hazardous wastes”. Because hazardous wastes require much more rigorous and costly treatment, storage, transportation and disposal requirements, such changes in the interpretation and enforcement of the current waste disposal regulations would result in significant increases in waste disposal expenditures.
29
The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”) —
CERCLA, also known as the “Superfund” law, imposes liability, without regard to fault or the legality of the original conduct, on certain classes of persons who are considered to have caused or contributed to the release or threatened release of a “hazardous substance” into the environment. These persons include the current or past owner or operator of the disposal site or sites where the release occurred and companies that transported disposed or arranged for the disposal of the hazardous substances under CERCLA. These persons may be subject to joint and several liabilities for the costs of cleaning up the hazardous substances that have been released into the environment and for damages to natural resources. Providence is not presently aware of any potential adverse claims in this regard.
Texas Railroad Commission — The State of Texas has promulgated certain legislative rules pertaining to exploration, development and production of oil and gas that are administered by the Texas Railroad Commission. The rules govern permitting for new drilling, inspection of wells, fiscal responsibility of operators, bonding wells, the disposal of solid waste, water discharge, spill prevention, liquid injection, waste disposal wells, schedules that determine the procedures for plugging and abandonment of wells, reclamation, annual reports and compliance with state and federal environmental protection laws. We believe that we will function in compliance with these rules.
We believe that all of our operations are in substantial compliance with current applicable federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations and that continued compliance with existing requirements will not have a material adverse effect our financial position, cash flows or results of operations. There can be no assurance, however, that current regulatory requirements will not change, currently unforeseen environmental incidents will not occur or past non-compliance with environmental laws or regulations will not be discovered.
Employees
Providence currently has 2 employees and 1 consultant and uses an independent operator to operate and manage our interests in oil and gas operations. Providence uses consultants, attorneys, and accountants as necessary to assist in the development of our business.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
This Management’s Plan of Operation and Results of Operations and other parts of this prospectus contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements can also be identified by words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “believes,” “plans,” “predicts,” and similar terms. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and our actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in the subsection entitled Forward-Looking Statements and Factors That May Affect Future Results and Financial Condition below. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto included in this prospectus. Our fiscal year end is December 31.
General
Providence’s current financial condition and results of operations depend primarily on private financing activities. Providence Exploration has a limited history of generating revenue, which cannot be viewed as an indication of continued growth, and a historical record of incurring losses. Should Providence be unable to generate revenue to the point where we can realize net cash flow, such failure will have an impact on our ability to continue business operations.
30
Business Strategy
Over the next twelve months, Providence intends to:
|X| produce a full evaluation of prospects within the Marble Falls, Barnett Shale and Strawn leases;
|X| continue post drilling “fracing” in the Marble Falls and Barnett Shale leases (fracing is the fracturing of geologic formations which open up pathways for the oil or gas to flow to the well);
|X| explore to develop the Marble Falls and Barnett Shale and Strawn leases for oil and gas production with Harding Company;
|X| seismically explore the Val Verde leases with TRNCO Petroleum Corporation;
|X| interpret the Val Verde seismic data; and
|X| develop the Val Verde leases with multiple deep drilling targets for natural gas production.
Providence’s business development strategy is prone to significant risks and uncertainties that can have an immediate impact on efforts to realize net cash flow. This impact may deter future prospects of revenue.
Results of Operations
During the three month period ended March 31, 2007, Providence was involved in (i) finalizing those agreements pertaining to the seismic exploration activities on the Vale Verde leases with TRNCO, (ii) raising additional capital by way of loans to fund the exploration, and development of our properties and (iii) evaluating the results of drilling on the Marble Falls and Barnett Shale leases.
During the year ended December 31, 2006, Providence was involved in (i) finalizing those agreements pertaining to the acquisition of Providence Exploration, and (ii) raising additional capital by way of common stock offerings to fund the exploration, development and prospective production from those properties Providence Exploration has under lease.
During the year ended December 31, 2006, Providence Exploration (i) realized revenues from servicing equipment sales, (ii) completed the purchase of the Val Verde County leases, (iii) began seismic exploratory preparation on the Val Verde County leases, (iv) initiated seismic operations, identified drill sites and acquired an additional 1,103 acres in the Marble Falls and Barnett Shale leases, and (v) commenced drilling on the Marble Falls and Barnett Shale formations.
The Company expects to realize revenues within the next twelve months of operation on realization of gas production from drilling on the Val Verde leases and from servicing equipment sales. However, since we are still in the exploratory stage, we can provide no assurance that our oil and gas operations will ever produce revenue or that our efforts to generate revenue from servicing equipment sales will be successful.
In the near term, we will not be able to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to sustain our business as we continue to incur lease development expenses. Further, there can be no assurance that Providence will ever be able to generate sufficient cash flows to sustain operations. Our business development strategy is prone to significant risks and uncertainties, certain of which can have an immediate impact on our efforts to realize positive net cash flow and deter the prospect of future revenue.
Losses
Net losses for the three month period ended March 31, 2007, increased to $277,554 from $91,987 for the three month period ended March 31, 2006. The increase in net losses over the comparative three month periods can be primarily attributed to an increase in general and administrative expenses. The Company did not generate any revenues during this period.
31
Net losses for the year ended December 31, 2006, increased to $6,761,584 from $944,857 for the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase in net losses over the comparative periods can be attributed to an increase in general and administrative expenses and interest expenses. Providence generated limited revenues during this period.
For the period from February 17, 1993 to March 31, 2007, Providence recorded an accumulated operating loss of $16,177,706. Our operating loss is primarily attributable to general and administrative expenses, interest expenses on financings, and losses incurred as the result of discontinued operations related to the Valides® and Medides Systems medical waste sterilization and disposal technologies.
We will likely continue to operate at a loss through fiscal 2007 due to the nature of Providence’s oil and gas exploration and development operations and cannot be certain that we will ever generate revenue from operations.
Expenses
General and administrative expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 2007, increased to $220,469 from $98,806 for the three month period ended March 31, 2006. The increase in general and administrative expenses over the comparative three month periods can be primarily attributed to increases in legal, consulting and accounting costs.
General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2006, increased to $2,121,062 from $468,677 for the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase in general and administrative expenses over the comparative periods can be primarily attributed to increases in legal, consulting and accounting costs related to the Providence Exploration acquisition, oil and gas development expenses, and our common stock offering.
For the period from February 17, 1993 to March 31, 2007, Providence recorded general and administrative expenses of $7,675,893. General and administrative expenses include salaries, consulting fees, professional costs, and accounting expenses.
Providence expects that general and administrative expenses will continue to increase as long as exploration activities remain active.
Interest expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 2007, increased to $68,400 from $65,334 for the three month period ended September 30, 2005. The increase in interest expense over the comparative three month periods can be attributed to the financing related to outstanding convertible debentures with a principal value equal to $3,570,000 as of March 31, 2007.
Interest expenses for the year ended December 31, 2006, increased to $5,102,503 from $200,517 for the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase in interest expense over the comparative periods can be attributed to the accrued interest on the eight outstanding convertible debentures, the differences between market values and transaction values for shares issued for principal and interest on the eight convertible debentures, and the below-market value warrants issued in the recent equity financing.
For the period from February 17, 1993 to March 31, 2007, Providence recorded interest expenses on financings of $5,512,040.
Providence expects that interest expenses will continue to increase until such time as the outstanding convertible debentures are retired.
32
Depreciation expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2007 were $8,100 and $1,019 respectively.
Depreciation expenses for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 were $9,544 and $491 respectively.
Capital Expenditures
Providence spent no amounts on capital expenditures for the period from February 17, 1993 (inception) to March 31, 2007, except those costs of unproved properties acquired with Providence Exploration, pipeline construction and related exploration costs.
Income Tax Expense (Benefit)
Providence has an income tax benefit resulting from net operating losses that may offset any future operating profit.
Impact of Inflation
Providence believes that inflation has had an effect on Providence Exploration’s operations due to the increased interest in oil and gas exploration over the last three years which has increased prices for labor, maintenance services, and equipment. We believe that we can offset these inflationary increases by improving operating efficiencies.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Providence had current assets of $1,682,935 and total assets of $30,309,289 as of March 31, 2007. These assets include cash on hand of $458,322, drilling rig inventory of $724,515, and undeveloped oil and gas leases of $27,030,845. Stockholders equity in Providence was $23,874,551 at March 31, 2007.
Providence had current assets of $2,264,758 with total assets of $29,795,787 as of December 31, 2006. These assets include cash on hand of $1,540,145 and undeveloped oil and gas leases of $26,266,981. Stockholders equity in Providence was $24,152,133 at December 31, 2006.
Cash flows used in operating activities were $512,346 for the three month period ended March 31, 2007, compared to $136,555 for the three month period ended March 31, 2006. The change in cash flows used in operating activities during the current period is due primarily to an increase in net losses, and increases in prepaid expenses related to the initial advance under the seismic agreement with TRNCO.
Cash flows used in operating activities were $211,623 for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to $232,857 used in operating activities the year ended December 31, 2005. Cash flows used in operating activities during the current period are primarily due to an increase in net losses.
Cash flows used in investing activities were $1,103,425 for the three month period ended March 31, 2007, compared to $1,132,320 for the three month period ended March 31, 2006. Cash flows used in investing activities during the current period was due to the amounts paid towards the completion of the gas pipeline constructed with Harding Company in Comanche County.
33
Cash flows used in investing activities were $8,379,886 for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to $3,075,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005. Cash flows used in investing activities during the current period consisted of advances to Providence Exploration prior to its acquisition and the acquisition of property and equipment.
Cash flows from financing activities were $533,956 for the three month period ended March 31, 2007, as compared to $0 for the three month period ended March 31, 2006. Cash flows from financing activities during the current period consisted primarily of a short term loan of $500,000.
Cash flows provided by financing activities were $8,096,026 for the year ended December 31, 2006, as compared to $5,296,952 provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2005. Cash flows provided by financing activities during the current period were generated primarily from the sale of our common stock.
Providence had a working capital deficit of $814,488 as of March 31, 2007, and has funded its cash needs from inception through revenues and a series of debt and equity transactions, including several private placements. We do not believe that our current assets are sufficient to conduct our exploration and development activities over the next twelve (12) months. No assurances can be given that additional funding, as needed to explore and develop our lease interests will be available to us on acceptable terms or available at all. Our inability to obtain funding, as necessary, would have a material adverse affect on our business.
Providence has no current plans for the purchase or sale of any plant or equipment.
Providence has no current plans to make any changes in the number of employees.

Critical Accounting Policies
In the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements for Providence for the year ended December 31, 2006, our auditors discussed those accounting policies that are considered to be significant in determining the results of operations and financial position. Our auditors believe that their accounting principles conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make significant estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. By their nature, these judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to bad debts, inventories, intangible assets, warranty obligations, product liability, revenue, and income taxes. We base our estimates on historical experience and other facts and circumstances that are believed to be reasonable, and the results form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities. The actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Revenue Recognition
Revenues are recorded upon the completion of the services, with the existence of an agreement and where collectability is reasonably assured. Oil and natural gas production revenue, if any, will be recognized at the time and point of sale after the product has been extracted from the ground.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments-an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140", to simplify and make more consistent the accounting for certain financial instruments. SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, to permit fair value re-measurement for any hybrid financial instrument with an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, provided that the whole instrument is accounted for on a fair value basis. SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, to allow a qualifying special-purpose entity to hold a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. SFAS No. 155 applies to all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006, with earlier application allowed. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on Providence’s future reported financial position or results of operations.
In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities”. This statement requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities be initially measured at fair value, if practicable, and permits for subsequent measurement using either fair value measurement with changes in fair value reflected in earnings or the amortization and impairment requirements of Statement No. 140. The subsequent measurement of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value eliminates the necessity for entities that manage the risks inherent in servicing assets and servicing liabilities with derivatives to qualify for hedge accounting treatment and eliminates the characterization of declines in fair value as impairments or direct write-downs. SFAS No. 156 is effective for an entity’s first fiscal year beginning after September 15, 2006. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on Providence’s future reported financial position or results of operations.
35
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. The objective of SFAS 157 is to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and to expand disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and does not require any new fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective for fair value measurements made in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on Providence’s future reported financial position or results of operations.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans — an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)". This statement requires employers to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income of a business entity or changes in unrestricted net assets of a not-for-profit organization. This statement also requires an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. The provisions of SFAS No. 158 are effective for employers with publicly traded equity securities as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on Providence’s future reported financial position or results of operations.
In September 2006, the Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements.” SAB No. 108 addresses how the effects of prior year uncorrected misstatements should be considered when quantifying misstatements in current year financial statements. SAB No. 108 requires companies to quantify misstatements using a balance sheet and income statement approach and to evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying an error that is material in light of relevant quantitative and qualitative factors. SAB No. 108 is effective for periods ending after November 15, 2006. Providence is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SAB No. 108 but does not expect that it will have a material effect on its financial position and results of operations.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. This Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Providence is currently assessing the impact of SFAS No. 159 on its financial position and results of operations.
Going Concern
Providence’s audit expressed substantial doubt as to Providence’s ability to continue as a going concern as a result of recurring losses, lack of revenue generating activities, and an accumulated deficit of $15,914,684 as of December 31, 2006. These conditions raise substantial doubt about Providence’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Management’s plan to address Providence’s ability to continue as a going concern includes the development and prospective production of oil and natural gas from existing leases, and the conversion of outstanding debt to equity. The successful outcome of these activities cannot be determined at this time, and there is no assurance that, if achieved, we would then have sufficient funds to execute our intended business plan or generate positive operating results.

Dividends
Providence has not declared any cash dividends since inception and does not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends is within the discretion of the board of directors and will depend on Providence’s earnings, capital requirements, financial condition, and other relevant factors. There are no restrictions that currently limit Providence’s ability to pay dividends on our common stock other than those generally imposed by applicable state law.
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
The objective of the Corporation’s compensation program is to provide compensation for services rendered as an executive officer. The Corporation’s salaries are designed to retain the services of our executive officer. The Corporation’s stock awards are designed to provide compensation for extraordinary services to the Corporation. Salary and stock awards are currently the only types of compensation we utilize in our compensation program. We utilized these forms of compensation because we feel that they are adequate to retain and motivate our executive officer. The amounts we deem appropriate to compensate our executive officer are determined in accordance with market forces; we have no specific formula to determine compensatory amounts at this time. While we have deemed that our current compensatory program and the decisions regarding compensation are easy to administer and are appropriately suited for our objectives, we may expand our compensation program to any additional future employees to include options and other compensatory elements.

(“Providence Resources”) (formerly Healthbridge, Inc.) and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Healthbridge AG (“Healthbridge AG”), Providence Exploration LLC (“Providence Exploration”), PDX Drilling, LLC and Providence Resources LLC and a ninety percent interest in Comanche County Pipeline, LLC (collectively “the Company”).
Providence Resources, Inc. was organized on February 17, 1993 (date of inception) under the laws of the State of Texas. The Company changed its name from Healthbridge, Inc. to Providence Resources, Inc. on September 29, 2006. Healthbridge AG was formed as a German subsidiary during 2002. Providence Exploration, LLC was formed on July 12, 2005, under the Laws of the State of Texas as a Limited Liability Company and is headquartered in Dallas, Texas. Providence Exploration formed a wholly owned subsidiary, PDX Drilling, LLC (PDX), on July 12, 2005. PDX was formed to acquire drilling and service rigs for the purpose of drilling oil and gas wells in Texas. Providence Exploration also formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Providence Resources LLC, on September 1, 2005, to acquire leases in Texas for oil and gas exploration and development. In October of 2006, Providence Exploration entered into an agreement to form Comanche County Pipeline, LLC with the purpose of constructing an oil and gas pipeline in Comanche County, Texas.
On January 25, 2002, the Company acquired certain patents related to the infectious medical waste sterilization and disposal technologies developed in Germany. During the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company decided to discontinue all operations connected to the Valides® Modular Infectious Waste Disposal System and the Medides System due to the unsatisfactory level of revenue generated to date.
On November 21, 2005, the Company executed a letter of intent to acquire Providence Exploration, LLC, as a wholly owned subsidiary in a stock for ownership exchange. On September 29, 2006, the Corporation acquired Providence Exploration as a wholly owned subsidiary, pursuant to the closing of a Securities Exchange Agreement and a Note Exchange Agreement.
The Securities Exchange Agreement, entered into on April 10, 2006 with Providence Exploration and the unit holders of Providence Exploration, provided for the exchange of 4,286,330 shares of the Corporation’s common stock for 1,250,000 issued and outstanding membership units of Providence Exploration.

Note 1 — Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Providence Exploration is involved in exploration activities for the recovery of oil and gas from the Marble Falls and Barnett Shale formations in the Fort Worth basin and from the Ellenburger carbonate, Strawn carbonate and Pennsylvanian-Wolfcamp sandstone reservoirs in Val Verde County. The Fort Worth basin prospects include approximately 7,374 acres of oil and gas leases and the Val Verde County prospects include approximately 12,832 acres of oil and gas leases. Providence Exploration has a 90% working interest and its joint venture operating partner, Harding Company, has a 10% working interest in the Fort Worth basin projects. The Company is considered a development stage company as defined in SFAS No. 7.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Providence Resources, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Inventory
Inventory consists of drilling rigs, parts and components. The Company records inventory at cost.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Costs of major renewals or betterments are capitalized over the remaining useful lives of the related assets. Depreciation is computed by using the straight-line method. The cost of property disposed of and related accumulated depreciation is removed from the accounts at the time of disposal, and gain or loss is reflected in operations.
Oil and Gas Leases Not Subject to Amortization
Oil and gas lease costs are recorded at cost and consist of 7,374.5 acres of land leases in North Eastern Texas in the Barnett Shale Formation and 12,847.2 acres of land leases in Southwest Texas in Val Verde County. These leases are undeveloped at March 31, 2007, and accordingly no depletion is included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
The Company follows the full cost method of accounting for exploration and development of oil and gas properties whereby all costs in acquiring, exploring and developing properties are capitalized, including estimate of abandonment costs, net of estimated equipment salvage costs. Prior to acquisition on September 29, 2006, Providence Exploration capitalized $ 3,278,647 in exploration costs. No costs related to production, general corporate overhead, or similar activities have been capitalized. As of March 31, 2007, the Company only has capitalized costs of unproved properties acquired and related exploration costs. Leasehold costs are depleted based on the units-of-production method based on estimated proved reserves. No proved reserves currently exist for the Company and therefore no depletion has been taken as of March 31, 2007.

Note 1 — Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, the Company reviews its long-lived assets to be held and used, excluding proved oil and gas properties accounted for under the full cost method of accounting, whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of those assets may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is indicated if the sum of the expected future net cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the assets. In this circumstance, the Company recognizes an impairment loss for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset. The Company’s long-lived assets related to its proved oil and gas properties accounted for under the full cost method of accounting are prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (Regulation S-X, Rule 4-10, “Financial Accounting and Reporting for Oil and Gas Producing Activities Pursuant to the Federal Securities Laws and the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975”).
Intangible Assets
Costs associated with the acquisition of definite life intangibles are capitalized and amortized over their useful life. These costs will are reviewed quarterly by management for impairment and valuation. Such impairment is reviewed from available information at the time such as projected cash flow analysis, sales orders and other information available to help management determine future realization of this asset. Management will write this intangible down to its net realizable value at the time of impairment appears to exist.
Loan origination fees are amortized on a straight line basis over the 36 month term of the loans.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company evaluates its long-lived assets in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets”. Long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their net book value may not be recoverable. When such factors and circumstances exist, the Company compares the projected undiscounted future cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their estimated useful lives against their respective carrying amounts. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of those assets and is recorded in the period in which the determination was made.
Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes are provided in amounts sufficient to give effect to temporary differences between financial and tax reporting, principally related to deferred start-up cost. For income tax purposes start-up costs are deferred until the Company begins generating revenue, at which time the costs begin being amortized.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. At March 31, 2007, the Company had $458,322 in bank deposit accounts. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.

Translation of Foreign Currencies
Assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign subsidiary are translated into U.S. dollars at the applicable exchange rates at year-end. Net gains or losses resulting from the translation of the Company’s assets and liabilities are reflected as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. A negative translation impact on stockholders’ equity reflects a current relative U.S. dollar value higher than at the point in time that assets were actually acquired in a foreign currency. A positive translation impact would result from a U.S. Dollar weaker in value than at the point in time foreign assets were acquired.
Income and expense items are translated at the weighted average rate of exchange (based on when transactions actually occurred) during the year.
Revenue Recognition
The Company did not have revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2007. Revenues are recorded upon the completion of the services, with the existence of an agreement and where collectability is reasonably assured. Oil and natural gas production revenue will be recognized at the time and point of sale after the product has been extracted from the ground.
Stock-Based Compensation
At March 31, 2007, the Company has stock-based employee compensation plans, which are described in greater detail in Note 11. The Company accounts for those plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and related Interpretations, and has adopted the disclosure provisions of SFAS 123 (R), “Share Based Payment.” Had compensation cost for the Company’s stock option plan been determined based on the fair value at the grant date for awards consistent with the provisions of SFAS 123 (R), the Company’s net loss and loss per share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

Earnings Per Share
The numerator for the earnings per share calculation is the net loss for the period. The denominator is the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.
The computation of diluted earnings per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period plus the common stock equivalents which would arise from the exercise or conversion of warrants, options and convertible securities, if any, using the treasury stock method. The Company had 7,303,650 stock equivalents of warrants at March 31, 2007 that were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share. Common stock equivalents are not included in the diluted earnings per share calculation when their effect is antidilutive.

Note 1 — Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial StatementsThe 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 period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the 2006 financial statements may have been reclassified to conform to the 2007 presentation.
Note 2 — Going Concern
As of March 31, 2007, the Company’s revenue generating activities have not generated sufficient funds for profitable operations, and the Company has incurred losses of $16,192,258 since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
We anticipate that additional funding will be required in the next twelve months and that it will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock. However, we do not have any financing arranged and we cannot provide investors with firm assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock to fund our plan of operations
Note 3 — Promissory Note Receivable
Prior to the acquisition of Providence Exploration, the Company had advanced funds to Providence Exploration in exchange for a secured revolving promissory note. The note was secured by the assets of Providence Exploration including all of the debtor’s rights, titles and interests in certain leases of oil, gas and mineral interests located in the Comanche and Hamilton counties of Texas. The face value of the note increased to match the amounts advanced by the Company. The note bears interest at 7.0% per annum and was to be paid in full by December 1, 2006. The intercompany note was eliminated upon consolidation. Prior to the acquisition date of September 29, 2006, the Company had advanced $8,886,761 to Providence Exploration LLP and the accrued interest on the note was $302,603.

Note 7 — Convertible Debentures
Two convertible debentures were issued during 2002 (May 3, 2002-$75,000 and May 6, 2002-$250,000), bearing interest at 7.5% per annum, which mature in three years. The convertible debentures become immediately due and payable upon certain events of default unless waived by the lender. Interest on the principal amount was due annually on the anniversary date of the issue date. The conversion feature allowed the holder at any time to convert any unpaid amount of principal or interest at $5.00 per share for a period of three years from the date of issuance. Pursuant to the terms of the convertible debenture, the Company agrees to file a Registration Statement within 60 days of conversion with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
The convertible debentures are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets consisting of all tangible and intangible property, but not limited to procedures, instruments, devices, equipment, research, designs, registrations, licenses, trademarks, software, patents, patents pending, “know-how” expertise, all additions and replacements to such property and any other documentation related to the Valides® and Medides systems for sterilizing and disinfecting infectious waste.

2. | The right to convert the whole part or any part of the principal amounts and accrued interest into shares of the Company extends until May 3, 2008 and May 6, 2010 respectively. |
3. | Upon conversion or repayment of the principal amounts and accrued interest, the holders of the convertible debentures are entitled to a ten percent (10%) bonus on the amount due as of such date. The market value of this bonus on the date of the extension was recorded as financing expense of $32,500. |
On October 3, 2005 the Company reached an agreement with the beneficiaries of these two outstanding debentures for payment of interest accrued to September 30, 2005.

Note 13 — Acquisition of Providence Exploration
On September 29, 2006, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement pursuant to which the Company acquired 100% control over Providence Exploration through the acquisition of all of its outstanding member shares.
The purchase price of the transaction required the Company to issue 20,000,000 common shares with a deemed value of $16,000,000. The shares were used to eliminate $3,571,311 of debt held by Providence Exploration. Prior to the transaction, Providence Exploration had a net assets deficit of $1,961,149 which included $73,721 in cash. The excess of the deemed value of the shares and fair value of the assets acquired amounted to $14,389,838 which was allocated to the value of undeveloped oil and gas leases held by Providence Exploration at the time of the acquisition. At the time of the acquisition, there was an intercompany account balance of $9,189,364 for principal and interest of cash advances made by the Company to Providence Exploration prior to the acquisition.

Note 14 — Agreements
In October 2005, the Company signed a joint exploration agreement with Harding Company. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company and Harding Company intend to explore, develop and produce oil and gas from Marble Falls and Barnett Shale formations in targeted areas of the Ft. Worth basin. Harding Company is appointed as operator.
The Company is required pursuant to the agreement to fund 100% of all costs of the management and operation for a minimum of 3 wells. The Company will carry Harding for its 10% working interest in all wells drilled and completed through the pipeline connection phase, in the project.
Effective February 22, 2006, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase oil and gas leases in Val Verde County, Texas. The purchase price was $3,849,600, payable $1,924,800 cash and $1,924,800 note payable. In March 2006, Harding Company paid the Company 192,480 related to the purchase. In connection with the acquisition of Providence Exploration, the Company issued 3,500,000 shares of common stock valued at $2,800,000 as payment of the outstanding balance for the oil and gas leases in Val Verde County.
In early 2007, the Company engaged TRNCO Petroleum Corporation of Midland, Texas to implement an I/O System Two recording system in combination with the latest generation of state-of-the-art acquisition and processing parameters to obtain high quality 3D seismic data for those leases located in Val Verde County. The data is intended to illuminate deep gas targets at depths ranging from 14,000 to 16,000 feet within the identified carbonates. TRNCO will supervise the acquisition, processing, licensing and interpretation of all seismic data and has engaged Dawson Geophysical Company to be responsible for obtaining the actual 3D seismic data. Founded in 1952, Dawson is a leading provider of onshore seismic data acquisition and processing services that operates two state-of-the-industry data processing centers in Houston and Midland, Texas, staffed by experienced geophysicists. The processing professionals use the latest kits of powerful processing tools and back their analytical excellence with practical geophysical field experience in correlating complex producing horizons. Dawson’s prior experience in the Val Verde Basin is expected to be of considerable benefit to Providence in acquiring reliable 3D seismic data. The Company advanced $500,000 to TRNCO in late March 2007 as a partial prepayment for these services.
Note 15 — Commitments and Contingencies
The Company leases office and warehouse space under an operating lease with monthly payments of 1,200 per month, expiring October 1, 2007. The Company also leases a vehicle under an operating lease with monthly payments of 455.74, expiring in October 2007.
The contract commitment cost for the agreement with TRNCO Petroleum Corporation (see Note 14) is $4,553,787, payable in installments on or before August 1, 2007.
Note 16 — Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and notes payable. The carrying amount of these items approximates fair value because of their short-term nature and the notes payable bear interest at the market interest rate.

Note 17 — Stock Based Compensation
The Company has adopted the disclosure provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123 (R), “Share Based Payment” as described in Note 1. No stock options were granted in 2006 and 2005. No stock options were outstanding at March 31, 2007.
Note 18 — Reverse Common Stock Split
Effective August 25, 2003, the Company approved a 1-for-20 reverse common stock split. All common share amounts, common stock option amounts and per share information have been retroactively adjusted to reflect this common stock split in the accompanying financial statements.
Note 19 — Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2006 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Standards No. 155 Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments — an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140 (SFAS 155). This standard permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation. SFAS 155 allows an entity to make an irrevocable election to measure such a hybrid financial instrument at fair value on an instrument-by-instrument basis. The standard eliminates the prohibition on a QSPE from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. SFAS 155 also clarifies which interest-only and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of SFAS 133, as well as determines that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives. SFAS 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of the fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. Adoption of SFAS 155 is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN 48 provides guidance on the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosures, and transition. FIN 48 becomes effective beginning with our first quarter 2007 fiscal period. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which establishes a framework for reporting fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 becomes effective beginning with our first quarter 2008 fiscal period. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans. Effective for our fiscal year ending 2006, we will be required to fully recognize the assets and obligations associated with our defined benefit plans. Effective for fiscal year ending 2008, we will be required to measure a plan’s assets and liabilities as of the end of the fiscal year instead of our current measurement date of September 30. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Supplemental Oil and Gas Information — FAS69
The following unaudited disclosures on standardized measures of discounted cash flows and changes therein relating to proved oil and gas reserves are determined in accordance with United States Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 69 “Disclosures About Oil and Gas Producing Activities”.
Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows and Changes Therein
In calculating the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows, year-end constant prices and cost assumptions were applied to the Company’s annual future production from proved reserves to determine cash inflows. Future production and development costs are based on constant price assumptions and assume the continuation of existing economic, operating and regulatory conditions. Future income taxes are calculated by applying statutory income tax rates to future pre-tax cash flows after provision for the tax cost of oil and natural gas properties based upon existing laws and regulations. The discount was computed by application of a 10 percent discount factor to the future net cash flows. The calculation of the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is based upon discounted future net cash flows prepared by the Company’s independent qualified reserve evaluators in relation to the reserves they respectively evaluated, and adjusted by the Company to account for management’s estimate obligations and future income taxes. The Company cautions that the discounted future net cash flows relating to proved oil and gas reserves are an indication of neither the fair market value of the Company’s oil and gas properties, nor of the future net cash flows expected to be generated from such properties. The discounted future net cash flows do not include the fair market value of exploratory properties and probable or possible oil and gas reserves, nor is consideration given to the effect of anticipated future changes in crude oil and natural gas prices, development, asset retirement and production costs, and possible changes to tax and royalty regulations. The prescribed discount rate of 10 percent may not appropriately reflect future interest rates. The Company’s projections should not be interpreted as being equivalent to fair market value.

(1) Definitions:
a. | “Net” reserves are the remaining reserves of the Company, after deduction of estimated royalties and including royalty interests. |
b. | “Proved oil and gas reserves.” Proved oil and gas reserves are the estimated quantities of crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids which geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions, i.e. prices and costs as of the date the estimate is made. Prices include consideration of changes in existing prices provided only by contractual arrangements, but not on escalations based upon future conditions. |
Reservoirs are considered proved if economic product ability is supported by either actual production or conclusive formation test. The area of a reservoir considered proved includes that portion delineated by drilling and defined by gas-oil and /or oil-water contacts, if any; and the immediately adjoining portions not yet drilled, but which can be reasonably judged as economically productive on the basis of available geological and engineering data. In the absence of information on fluid contacts, the lowest known structural occurrence of hydrocarbons controls the lower proved limit of the reservoir.
i. | Reserves which can be produced economically through application of improved recovery techniques (such as fluid injection) are included in the “proved” classification when successful testing by a pilot project, or the operation of an installed program in the reservoir, provides support for the engineering analysis on which the project or program was based. |

Supplemental Oil and Gas Information — FAS69 (continued)
ii. Estimates of proved reserves do not include the following:
| Oil that may become available from known reservoirs but is classified separately as “indicated additional reserves”; |
| Crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids, the recovery of which is subject to reasonable doubt because of uncertainty as to geology, reservoir characteristics, or economic factors; |
Crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids, that may occur in undrilled prospects; and
| Crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids, that may be recovered from oil shales, coal, gilsonite and other such sources. |
c. | “Proved developed oil and gas reserves.” Proved developed oil and gas reserves are reserves that can be expected to be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods. Additional oil and gas expected to be obtained through the application of fluid injection or other improved recovery techniques for supplementing the natural forces and mechanisms of primary recovery should be included as “proved developed reserves” only after testing by a pilot project or after the operation of an installed program has confirmed through production response that increased recovery will be achieved. |
d. | “Proved undeveloped reserves.” Proved undeveloped oil and gas reserves are reserves that are expected to be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage, or from existing wells where a relatively major expenditure is required for recompletion. Reserves on undrilled acreage shall be limited to those drilling units offsetting productive unites that are reasonably certain of production when drilled. Proved reserves for other undrilled unites can be claimed only where it can be demonstrated with certainty that there is continuity of production from the existing productive formation. Under no circumstances should estimates, for proved undeveloped reserves be attributable to any acreage for which an application of fluid injection or other improved recovery technique is contemplated, unless such techniques have been proved effective by actual tests in the area and in the same reservoir. |
(2) | The Company does not file any estimates of total net proved crude oil or natural gas reserves with any U.S. federal authority or agency other than the SEC. |

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors of
Providence Resources, Inc.
Vancouver, B.C. Canada
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Providence Resources, Inc. at December 31, 2006 and 2005 and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (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 PCAOB (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, and audit of its internal controls over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. 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.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Providence Resources, Inc. at December 31, 2006 and 2005, and 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 2 to the financial statements, the Company has recorded significant losses from operations, and is dependent on financing to continue operations, which together raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2006 and 2005
Note 1 — Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization
The consolidated financial statements consist of Providence Resources, Inc. (“Providence Resources”) (formerly Healthbridge, Inc.) and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Healthbridge AG (“Healthbridge AG”), Providence Exploration LLC (“Providence Exploration”), PDX Drilling, LLC and Providence Resources LLC and a ninety percent interest in Comanche County Pipeline, LLC (collectively “the Company”).
Providence Resources, Inc. was organized on February 17, 1993 (date of inception) under the laws of the State of Texas. The Company changed its name from Healthbridge, Inc. to Providence Resources, Inc. on September 29, 2006. Healthbridge AG was formed as a German subsidiary during 2002. Providence Exploration, LLC was formed on July 12, 2005, under the Laws of the State of Texas as a Limited Liability Company and is headquartered in Dallas, Texas. Providence Exploration formed a wholly owned subsidiary, PDX Drilling, LLC (PDX), on July 12, 2005. PDX was formed to acquire drilling and service rigs for the purpose of drilling oil and gas wells in Texas. Providence Exploration also formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Providence Resources LLC, on September 1, 2005, to acquire leases in Texas for oil and gas exploration and development. In October of 2006, Providence Exploration entered into an agreement to form Comanche County Pipeline, LLC with the purpose of constructing an oil and gas pipeline in Comanche County, Texas.
On January 25, 2002, the Company acquired certain patents related to the infectious medical waste sterilization and disposal technologies developed in Germany. During the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company decided to discontinue all operations connected to the Valides® Modular Infectious Waste Disposal System and the Medides System due to the unsatisfactory level of revenue generated to date.
On November 21, 2005, the Company executed a letter of intent to acquire Providence Exploration, LLC, as a wholly owned subsidiary in a stock for ownership exchange. On September 29, 2006, the Corporation acquired Providence Exploration as a wholly owned subsidiary, pursuant to the closing of a Securities Exchange Agreement and a Note Exchange Agreement.
The Securities Exchange Agreement, entered into on April 10, 2006 with Providence Exploration and the unit holders of Providence Exploration, provided for the exchange of 4,286,330 shares of the Corporation’s common stock for 1,250,000 issued and outstanding membership units of Providence Exploration.

PROVIDENCE RESOURCES, INC.
(A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2006 and 2005
Note 1 — Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Providence Exploration is involved in exploration activities for the recovery of oil and gas from the Marble Falls and Barnett Shale formations in the Fort Worth basin and from the Ellenburger carbonate, Strawn carbonate and Pennsylvanian-Wolfcamp sandstone reservoirs in Val Verde County. The Fort Worth basin prospects include approximately 7,374 acres of oil and gas leases and the Val Verde County prospects include approximately 12,832 acres of oil and gas leases. Providence Exploration has a 90% working interest and its joint venture operating partner, Harding Company, has a 10% working interest in the Fort Worth basin projects.
The Company is considered a development stage company as defined in SFAS No. 7.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Providence Resources, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Inventory
Inventory consists of drilling rigs, parts and components. The Company records inventory at the lower of cost or market.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Costs of major renewals or betterments are capitalized over the remaining useful lives of the related assets. Depreciation is computed by using the straight-line method. The cost of property disposed of and related accumulated depreciation is removed from the accounts at the time of disposal, and gain or loss is reflected in operations.
Oil and Gas Leases Not Subject to Amortization
Oil and gas lease costs are recorded at cost and consist of 7,374.5 acres of land leases in North Eastern Texas in the Barnett Shale Formation and 12,847.2 acres of land leases in Southwest Texas in Val Verde County. These leases are undeveloped at December 31, 2006, and accordingly no depletion is included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
The Company follows the full cost method of accounting for exploration and development of oil and gas properties whereby all costs in acquiring, exploring and developing properties are capitalized, including estimate of abandonment costs, net of estimated equipment salvage costs. Prior to acquisition on September 29, 2006, Providence Exploration capitalized $ 3,278,647 in exploration costs. No costs related to production, general corporate overhead, or similar activities have been capitalized. As of December 31, 2006, the Company only has capitalized costs of unproved properties acquired and related exploration costs. Leasehold costs are depleted based on the units-of-production method based on estimated proved reserves. No proved reserves currently exist for the Company and therefore no depletion has been taken as of December 31, 2006.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2006 and 2005
Note 1 — Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Oil and Gas Leases Not Subject to Amortization (continued)
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, the Company reviews its long-lived assets to be held and used, excluding proved oil and gas properties accounted for under the full cost method of accounting, whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of those assets may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is indicated if the sum of the expected future net cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the assets. In this circumstance, the Company recognizes an impairment loss for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset. The Company’s long-lived assets related to its proved oil and gas properties accounted for under the full cost method of accounting are prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (Regulation S-X, Rule 4-10, “Financial Accounting and Reporting for Oil and Gas Producing Activities Pursuant to the Federal Securities Laws and the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975”).
Intangible Assets
Costs associated with the acquisition of definite life intangibles are capitalized and amortized over their useful life. These costs will are reviewed quarterly by management for impairment and valuation. Such impairment is reviewed from available information at the time such as projected cash flow analysis, sales orders and other information available to help management determine future realization of this asset. Management will write this intangible down to its net realizable value at the time of impairment appears to exist.
Loan origination fees are amortized on a straight line basis over the 36 month term of the loans and are as follows:
2006 2005
Loan Origination Fee 69,896 -0-
Accumulated Amortization 24,097 -0-
Total 45,799 -0-
Long-Lived Assets
The Company evaluates its long-lived assets in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets”. Long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their net book value may not be recoverable. When such factors and circumstances exist, the Company compares the projected undiscounted future cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their estimated useful lives against their respective carrying amounts. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of those assets and is recorded in the period in which the determination was made.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2006 and 2005
Note 1 — Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes are provided in amounts sufficient to give effect to temporary differences between financial and tax reporting, principally related to deferred start-up cost. For income tax purposes start-up costs are deferred until the Company begins generating revenue, at which time the costs begin being amortized.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. At December 31, 2006, the Company had $1,540,145 in bank deposit accounts. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.
Translation of Foreign Currencies
Assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign subsidiary are translated into U.S. dollars at the applicable exchange rates at year-end. Net gains or losses resulting from the translation of the Company’s assets and liabilities are reflected as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. A negative translation impact on stockholders’ equity reflects a current relative U.S. dollar value higher than at the point in time that assets were actually acquired in a foreign currency. A positive translation impact would result from a U.S. Dollar weaker in value than at the point in time foreign assets were acquired.
Income and expense items are translated at the weighted average rate of exchange (based on when transactions actually occurred) during the year.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition (“SAB104”), which superseded Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements (“SAB101”). SAB 101 requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectibility is reasonably assured.
The Company incurred revenues during the year ended December 31, 2006. Revenues are recorded upon the completion of the services, with the existence of an agreement and where collectability is reasonably assured. Oil and natural gas production revenue will be recognized at the time and point of sale after the product has been extracted from the ground.
Stock-Based Compensation
At December 31, 2006, the Company has stock-based employee compensation plans, which are described in greater detail in Note 11. The Company accounts for those plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and related Interpretations, and has adopted the disclosure provisions of SFAS 123 (R), “Share Based Payment.” Had compensation cost for the Company’s stock option plan been determined based on the fair value at the grant date for awards consistent with the provisions of SFAS 123 (R), the Company’s net loss and loss per share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial StatementsThe 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 period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the 2005 financial statements may have been reclassified to conform to the 2006 presentation.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and notes payable. The carrying amount of these items approximates fair value because of their short-term nature and the notes payable bear interest at the market interest rate.
Note 2 — Going Concern
As of December 31, 2006, the Company’s revenue generating activities have not generated sufficient funds for profitable operations, and the Company has incurred losses of $15,984,684 since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
We anticipate that additional funding will be required in the next twelve months and that it will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock. However, we do not have any financing arranged and we cannot provide investors with firm assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock to fund our plan of operations.

As of December 31, 2004, the gross carrying value of the patents was $404,446 and accumulated amortization was $121,334. In the first six months of 2005, the Company recognized a further $20,222 of amortization on the patents. On June 30, 2005 the Company reviewed the carrying value of its patents and determined that the prospect of sales this year and future expected cashflow from sales of the Valides system were unknown.

In February 2006 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Standards No. 155 Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments — an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140 (SFAS 155). This standard permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation. SFAS 155 allows an entity to make an irrevocable election to measure such a hybrid financial instrument at fair value on an instrument-by-instrument basis. The standard eliminates the prohibition on a QSPE from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. SFAS 155 also clarifies which interest-only and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of SFAS 133, as well as determines that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives. SFAS 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of the fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. Adoption of SFAS 155 is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN 48 provides guidance on the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosures, and transition. FIN 48 becomes effective beginning with our first quarter 2007 fiscal period. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which establishes a framework for reporting fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 becomes effective beginning with our first quarter 2008 fiscal period. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans. Effective for our fiscal year ending 2006, we will be required to fully recognize the assets and obligations associated with our defined benefit plans. Effective for fiscal year ending 2008, we will be required to measure a plan’s assets and liabilities as of the end of the fiscal year instead of our current measurement date of September 30. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

The following unaudited disclosures on standardized measures of discounted cash flows and changes therein relating to proved oil and gas reserves are determined in accordance with United States Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 69 “Disclosures About Oil and Gas Producing Activities”.
Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows and Changes Therein
In calculating the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows, year-end constant prices and cost assumptions were applied to the Company’s annual future production from proved reserves to determine cash inflows. Future production and development costs are based on constant price assumptions and assume the continuation of existing economic, operating and regulatory conditions. Future income taxes are calculated by applying statutory income tax rates to future pre-tax cash flows after provision for the tax cost of oil and natural gas properties based upon existing laws and regulations. The discount was computed by application of a 10 percent discount factor to the future net cash flows. The calculation of the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is based upon discounted future net cash flows prepared by the Company’s independent qualified reserve evaluators in relation to the reserves they respectively evaluated, and adjusted by the Company to account for management’s estimate obligations and future income taxes. The Company cautions that the discounted future net cash flows relating to proved oil and gas reserves are an indication of neither the fair market value of the Company’s oil and gas properties, nor of the future net cash flows expected to be generated from such properties. The discounted future net cash flows do not include the fair market value of exploratory properties and probable or possible oil and gas reserves, nor is consideration given to the effect of anticipated future changes in crude oil and natural gas prices, development, asset retirement and production costs, and possible changes to tax and royalty regulations. The prescribed discount rate of 10 percent may not appropriately reflect future interest rates. The Company’s projections should not be interpreted as being equivalent to fair market value.

(2) Definitions:
a. | “Net” reserves are the remaining reserves of the Company, after deduction of estimated royalties and including royalty interests. |
b. | “Proved oil and gas reserves.” Proved oil and gas reserves are the estimated quantities of crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids which geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions, i.e. prices and costs as of the date the estimate is made. Prices include consideration of changes in existing prices provided only by contractual arrangements, but not on escalations based upon future conditions. |
Reservoirs are considered proved if economic product ability is supported by either actual production or conclusive formation test. The area of a reservoir considered proved includes that portion delineated by drilling and defined by gas-oil and /or oil-water contacts, if any; and the immediately adjoining portions not yet drilled, but which can be reasonably judged as economically productive on the basis of available geological and engineering data. In the absence of information on fluid contacts, the lowest known structural occurrence of hydrocarbons controls the lower proved limit of the reservoir.
i. | Reserves which can be produced economically through application of improved recovery techniques (such as fluid injection) are included in the “proved” classification when successful testing by a pilot project, or the operation of an installed program in the reservoir, provides support for the engineering analysis on which the project or program was based. |

Supplemental Oil and Gas Information - FAS69 (continued) ii. Estimates of proved reserves do not include the following:
| Oil that may become available from known reservoirs but is classified separately as “indicated additional reserves”; |
| Crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids, the recovery of which is subject to reasonable doubt because of uncertainty as to geology, reservoir characteristics, or economic factors; |
Crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids, that may occur in undrilled prospects; and
| Crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids, that may be recovered from oil shales, coal, gilsonite and other such sources. |
c. | “Proved developed oil and gas reserves.” Proved developed oil and gas reserves are reserves that can be expected to be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods. Additional oil and gas expected to be obtained through the application of fluid injection or other improved recovery techniques for supplementing the natural forces and mechanisms of primary recovery should be included as “proved developed reserves” only after testing by a pilot project or after the operation of an installed program has confirmed through production response that increased recovery will be achieved. |
d. | “Proved undeveloped reserves.” Proved undeveloped oil and gas reserves are reserves that are expected to be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage, or from existing wells where a relatively major expenditure is required for recompletion. Reserves on undrilled acreage shall be limited to those drilling units offsetting productive unites that are reasonably certain of production when drilled. Proved reserves for other undrilled unites can be claimed only where it can be demonstrated with certainty that there is continuity of production from the existing productive formation. Under no circumstances should estimates, for proved undeveloped reserves be attributable to any acreage for which an application of fluid injection or other improved recovery technique is contemplated, unless such techniques have been proved effective by actual tests in the area and in the same reservoir. |
(3) | | The Company does not file any estimates of total net proved crude oil or natural gas reserves with any U.S. federal authority or agency other than the SEC. |

All of the above recent sales of unregistered securities were made in reliance upon an exemption from registration provided by either Regulation S, Regulation D, or Section 4(2) promulgated by the Commission pursuant to the Securities Act.
Providence complied with the requirements of Regulation S by having directed no offering efforts in the United States, by offering only to offerees who were outside the United States at the time the shares were issued, and ensuring that the offerees to whom the stock were issued were non-U.S. offerees with addresses in foreign countries.
Providence’s Regulation D equity financing in 2006 (which shares were issued on June 25, 2006) was comprised of securities sold in the United States to accredited investors. Providence complied with the requirements of Rule 506.
Providence complied with the requirements of Section 4(2) based on the following factors: (i) the issuances were isolated private transactions by Providence which did not involve public offerings; (ii) the offerees committed to hold the stock for at least one year; (iii) there were no subsequent or contemporaneous public offerings of the stock; (iv) the stock was not broken down into smaller denominations; and (v) the negotiations for the offerings of the stock took place directly between the offerees and Providence.

UNDERTAKINGS
Providence hereby undertakes that we will:
| | | o | | File, during any period in which we offer or sell securities, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to: |
o Include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; o Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent
| a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in the volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and |
o Include any additional or changed material information on the plan of distribution.
o For determining liability under the Securities Act, treat each post-effective amendment
| as a new registration statement of the securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering. |
| | | o | | File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering. |
o For determining liability of the undersigned small business issuer under the Securities
| Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned small business issuer undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned small business issuer pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned small business issuer will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser: |
o Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned small business issuer related to the offering required to filed pursuant to Rule 424;
o Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned small business issuer or used or referred to by the undersigned small business issuer;
o The portion of any other free writing prospectus related to the offering containing material information about he undersigned small business issuer or the securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned small business issuer; and
o Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned small business issuer to the purchaser.
50
o Each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of the registration statement | relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other then prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to the purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use. |
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of Providence, pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, Providence has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
In the event a claim for indemnification against such liabilities, other than payment by Providence of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of Providence in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding, is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, Providence will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
51
