        On August 23, 2002, Providential Holdings (the "Company" or "PRVH") signed an agreement to acquire 100% of the common stock of ATC Technology Corporation (""ATC"), an Arizona corporation in exchange for a $250,000 promissory note, non-interest bearing, payable 270 days after closing with the Company agreeing to pay 12% interest on the unpaid balance.  Additionally, the Company agreed to deliver, to ATC, the number of shares of free trading PRVH common stock to be determined by dividing (a) the remaining balance of the note plus any and all accrued interest by (b) one half (1/2) of the average closing bid price of the common stock of PRVH traded on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board Market during the ten consecutive trading days preceding the date the shares are to be delivered (30 days beyond maturity). (See Stock Purchase Agreement, Exhibit 1.1). The agreement called for the formal closing to occur on or before August 30, 2002, but no later than September 30, 2002.  The agreement did subsequently close on September 12, 2002 as described in the Closing Memorandum (Exhibit 1.2)

Sellers have the right to sell that number of shares of PRVH common stock required to recover the remaining balance of the note plus all and any accrued interest and the costs and expenses incurred in connection with said sale. After 60 days from the maturity of this promissory note, Buyer agrees to make immediate cash payment to Seller for any outstanding balance of the Note plus any accrued interests and expenses. Upon satisfaction of the obligations of Buyer hereunder, any shares of PRVH then held by Sellers and not sold as described above and any sum from any sale of shares of PRVH not needed to satisfy the sum due Sellers, and fees, costs and expenses described above, shall be returned by Sellers to Buyer.

In the event that the note is not liquidated in its entirety at maturity, Buyer agrees to pay 12% interest on the unpaid balance. Furthermore, Buyer agrees deliver to Sellers 30 days beyond maturity the number of shares of free trading common stock of PRVH to be determined by dividing (A) the remaining balance of the note plus all and any accrued interest by (B) one-half (1/2) of the average closing bid price of common stock of PRVH traded on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board Market during the ten consecutive trading days preceding the date the shares are delivered to Sellers.
