   PHI Group, Inc. (OTCBB: PHIE) (FRANKFURT: PR7) (XETRA: PR7), a company engaged in consulting services, real estate development, mining, and energy, announced today that its wholly owned subsidiary PHI Energy Corporation (PEC) has signed an agreement with AXN Group, LLC (AXNG), a Delaware corporation, to recapitalize and engage in coal mining and trading.

According to the agreement, AXNG and PEC will organize and arrange for sale and purchase of coal and other energy-related commodities between international sellers and buyers through PEC. In particular, PEC will engage in coal mining and coal trading in Southeast Asia, China, India, South America and South Africa. As part of the restructuring, AXNG will own 68% of PEC, PHI Group will own 27%, and 5% will be distributed as a special dividend to shareholders of PHI Group. PHI Group will be responsible for listing PEC shares on the OTCBB or a senior exchange in the U.S. stock market after six months of successful operations.

Allen Wu, Managing Member of AXNG and Chairman of PEC, stated: "As coal has been and will continue to be a key form of energy for steel mills and power plants, PEC aims to play a meaningful role supported by large long term offtake contracts."

Henry Fahman, Chairman of PHI Group, Inc., said, "We are delighted to cooperate with AXNG in this energy initiative and look forward to generating significant economic benefits for shareholders of both companies. We also plan to reorganize our other subsidiaries including Provimex, Inc., Touchlink Communications, Inc., E-check Recovery, Inc., and Irvine College of Medical Sciences, Inc. and to register previously distributed dividend shares to create value for Phi Group shareholders in the coming months."
