PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS OVERVIEW
INTRODUCTION
Providential Holdings, Inc., ("PHI") a diversified holding company committed to increasing shareholder value through growth, focuses on selective technologies, financial services, international markets, and special situations. Products and services include liquid crystal displays (LCD's), information technology, identification technologies, mobile entertainment systems, industrial machinery and equipment, telecommunications, and computer hardware and software. PHI also provides expertise on trade commerce, financial services, and mergers and acquisitions, especially for companies in the U.S. and emerging overseas markets with high potential for growth.
The company's objective is to develop, operate and participate in selected businesses chosen to strategically utilize its existing and future distinctive competencies and generate attractive risk-adjusted rates of return for its shareholders and investors.
BACKGROUND
Providential Holdings, Inc. ("PHI" or “Providential") was organized under the laws of the State of Nevada on June 8, 1982 under the name of JR Consulting, Inc. The company changed its name to Providential Securities, Inc., a Nevada corporation, on January 12, 2000, and subsequently changed its name to Providential Holdings, Inc. on February 9, 2000. From its inception through September 7, 1995, the Company generated nominal revenues and did not actively engage in business. Prior to the corporate combination agreement with Providential Securities, Inc., JR Consulting had an operating subsidiary, Diva Entertainment, Inc ("Diva"), which operated two modeling agencies, one in New York and one in California.
Providential Securities, Inc., a California Corporation ("Providential Securities") was incorporated in the State of California on October 8, 1992. It operated a securities brokerage service in California, New York and Oregon. The principal markets for Providential Securities' services were individual investors who were located throughout the United States. Providential Securities bought and sold securities for its customers through a number of different markets, utilizing a brokerage clearinghouse to transact the trades. Due to the results of an NASD examination, Providential Securities withdrew its membership and ceased its securities brokerage business in October 2000.
Since November 2000, the Company has reorganized its primary scope of business to the present form to focus on four main areas: (1)Technologies, (2) Financial services, (3) International markets, and (4) Special Situations.
REORGANIZATION
On October 28, 1999 JR Consulting entered into a corporate combination agreement (the "Agreement") with Providential Securities, whereby JR Consulting acquired all the outstanding shares of Providential Securities in exchange for 20,000,000
shares of JR Consulting (then renamed Providential) common stock. The transaction was consummated on January 14, 2000. In addition, as a covenant under the Agreement, Providential was required to enter into an agreement to sell to Havilland Limited all of the shares of Diva owned by Providential as well as to assign all of its rights, title and interest in an Option Agreement to Havilland Limited. JR Consulting's officers and directors resigned from their positions and the shareholders of Providential Securities assumed control of the two entities (together as "the Company"). The shares issued in the merger are restricted against resale pursuant to the provisions of federal and state securities laws. Providential Securities' shareholders of record as of the closing date owned approximately 75% of Providential's common stock. The acquisition has been treated as a capital transaction in substance, rather than a business combination, and was deemed a "reverse acquisition" for accounting purposes. Accordingly, Providential Securities was the accounting acquirer and the historical financial statements prior to January 14, 2000 were those of Providential Securities. In the accompanying financial statements, the capital structure and losses per share of Providential Securities have been retroactively restated to reflect the acquisition as if it occurred at the beginning of the period. The operations of Providential have been included with those of Providential Securities from the acquisition date.
The sale of Diva was concluded on June 30, 2000, at which time all of the shares of Diva owned by Providential as well as all of its rights, title and interest in the Option Agreement were exchanged for assignment to and assumption by Havilland Limited of the amounts due by Providential to officers of the Company amounting to $617,781, the amounts due to Providential from Diva amounting to $94,843 and the return of 135,000 shares of common stock of Providential owned by Havilland. The total gain resulting from the sale of Diva of approximately $1.2 million was considered in the allocation of the purchase price to the assets and liabilities of Providential. Included in the total gain of $1.2 million was Diva's net profit of $245,606 earned during the interim holding period from January 14, 2000 to June 30, 2000.
BUSINESS RESTRUCTURING
Since the discontinuance of its securities brokerage operations in October 2000, the Company has restructured its primary scope of business to include the following areas: (1)Technologies, (2) Financial services, (3) International markets, and (4) Special Situations.

SPECIAL NOTE ON ACQUISITIONS
The Company is in the process of evaluating various opportunities and negotiating to acquire other companies and technologies. Acquisitions entail numerous risks, including difficulties in the assimilation of acquired operations and products, diversion of management's attention from other business concerns, amortization of acquired intangible assets and potential loss of key employees of acquired companies. We have limited experience in assimilating acquired organizations into our operations. Although potential synergy may be achieved by acquisitions of related technologies and businesses, no assurance can be given as to the Company's ability to integrate successfully any operations, personnel, services or products that have been acquired or might be acquired in the future. Failure to successfully assimilate acquired organizations could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and operating results.
STRATEGY
Providential Holdings' strategy is to:
1. Identify, build, acquire and deploy valuable resources with distinctive competitive advantages;
2. Identify, evaluate, participate and compete in attractive businesses that have large, growing market potential;

4. Build an attractive investment that includes points of exit for investors through capital appreciation or spin-offs of business units.

On or about November 20, 1997, Nara Bank, N.A. and Providential Securities, Inc. entered into a Written Lease Agreement ("Agreement") wherein Nara Bank, N.A. agreed to lease certain computer equipment to Providential Securities, Inc. Thereafter, the Agreement was assigned from Nara Bank, N.A. to Claimant's Assignor Oak Financial Services. Thereafter, the Agreement was assigned from Claimant's Assignor to Claimant. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, Providential Securities, Inc. agreed to pay Nara Bank, N.A. the sum of $1,187.40 per month for sixty months. On or about September 15, 2000, and subsequently,
Providential Securities, Inc. was unable to make the monthly payments to Claimant due to the lack of revenues following the interruption and subsequent closure of its securities brokerage operations. (See Note 3) Claimant filed a complaint for money with the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Orange (Case No. 01CC07697) on June 14, 2001 seeking $30,873.40 plus interest thereon at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum from September 15, 2000. This case was settled on December 17, 2001. However, since Providential Securities, Inc. was unable to pay the settlement amount, Claimant entered a judgment for $79,681 on January 23,2002. Subsequently, $12,000 was paid by Mr. Fahman. The unpaid judgment amount has been accrued in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
NGON VU VS. PROVIDENTIAL SECURITIES, INC.

MARK TOW, ESQ. VS. PROVIDENTIAL HOLDINGS, INC.
This case is pre-arbitration. The Company hired Mark Tow, Esq. to prepare an SB-2 Registration Statement and prepaid him $25,000 in retainer.

Stradling Yocca Carson & Rauth completed the SB-2 Registration Statement and filed with the SEC on 9/28/2000. Mark Tow sent the Company a letter in June 2001 seeking a total of $75,000.00 for his allegedly rendered service. The Company has accrued $50,000 relating to this case in Accrued Expenses in the accompanying consolidated financial statements since the original agreement with Mark Tow was for a total service fee of $75,000 and the Company has already paid $25,000 as a retainer to be offset against the total fees. As of the date of this report there has been no filing for arbitration by Mark Tow.
ARBITRATION CASES
The Company has several arbitration cases that are either pending or in preliminary stages against Providential Securities, Inc. relating to the daily trading operations of the Company. The Company intends to defend each of the matters vigorously but may enter into a settlement where appropriate based on the specific allegations involved and the potential cost to defend the matter.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 AND JUNE 30, 2001
Revenues:
Except for $602,000 of consulting fee income, we had no revenues for the twelve months ended June 30, 2002, as compared to $659,547 for the year ended June 30, 2001. The decrease in revenues is due to the discontinuance of the securities brokerage operations of Providential Securities Inc. in 2001.
Operating Expenses:
We incurred total operating expenses of $1,066,365 for the year ended June 30, 2002 as compared to $2,291,245 for the year ended June 30, 2001. The decrease in operating expenses is primarily the result of the discontinuance of the securities brokerage operations, the reduction of employees and the decrease in litigation costs.
Loss from operations:
We incurred a loss from operations of $1,066,365 for the year ended June 30, 2002 as compared to a loss from operations of $1,631,698 for the year ended June 30, 2001. As mentioned above, this was mainly due to the result of the discontinuance of the securities brokerage operations, the reduction of employees and the decrease in litigation costs.
Net loss before income taxes:
We had a loss before taxes of $1,622,198
for the year ended June 30, 2002 as compared to a loss of $1,944,215 for the year ended June 30, 2001. The decrease in net loss before income taxes is due to the decrease in operating expenses.
Net loss:
We had a net loss of $1,239,543 for the year ended June 30, 2002 as compared to a net loss of $2,015,644 for the year ended June 30, 2001. The net loss based on the basic and diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year ended June 30, 2002 was ($0.04) as compared to that of ($.07) for the year ended June 30, 2001.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our business plan was restructured in November 2000 and has been updated to its now-current form. We must continue to raise capital to fulfill our plan of acquiring other companies and assisting in the development of those internally. The Company expects that the working capital cash requirements over the next 12 months will be generated from operations and additional financing.
We had cash and cash equivalents of $4,700 and $14,000 as of June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2001, respectively. Our operating activities used $711,600 in the year ended June 30, 2002 and $1.4 million in the year ended June 30, 2001. The largest use of cash in the 2002 period was from the net loss from continued operations, the increase in prepaid expenses and other assets, offset by the net effect of normal fluctuations in operating asset and liability accounts. The largest use of cash in the 2001 period was from the net loss from continued operations, the adjustment for the gain on disposal of land and property offset by the net effect of normal fluctuations in operating asset and liability accounts.
Cash provided in the 2002 period by financing activities of $678,795 was primarily from borrowings on notes payable offset by payments on notes payable.
Our notes payable at June 30, 2002 consisted of the following:
(i) convertible promissory notes of $1.525 million, of which $1.35 million was due September 28, 2000 and $400,000 was due October 21, 2000 (principal and interest), (of which $225,000 was paid as of the date of this report) with an effective default interest rate of 12 percent, plus a 20% redemption premium if paid after 181 days from original issuance and an additional 2% monthly penalty if the registration statement is not declared effective as of September 28, 2000 (As the date of this report, a registration statement is no longer needed because the holders of these notes can rely on Rule 144K exemption to convert
these notes into common stock of the company); (ii) note payable of $125,000 to an individual, due June 30, 2001 (principal and interest) (which has not been paid as of the date of this report), with an interest rate of 8 percent; (iii) a short-term note payable of $100,000 to a corporation due on demand, with an interest rate of 12%, plus a 5% premium accrued each month the loan is outstanding, secured by 500,000 of restricted shares of an officer; (iv) three short-term notes payable totaling $165,000 to a corporation due on demand, with an interest rate of 12%, plus a 5% premium accrued each month the loan is outstanding, each secured by 500,000 restricted shares of the Company and convertible into common stock of the Company; (v) a short-term note payable of $150,000 to an individual, secured by one million restricted shares of the Company, with an attached fee of $15,000 due upon maturity of May 8, 2001 and an additional fee of $15,000 due if paid after maturity, (this loan has not been paid as of the date of this report); (vi) short-term loans to individuals for $115,000, due in July 2001 (unpaid as of the date of this report); (vii) short-term loans to individuals for $571,915 with open due dates; and (viii) two auto loans totaling $29,650.
The previously-reported $20 million equity line of credit from Boston-based Dutchess Private Equities Fund, L.P. was terminated in June 2002 because the Company was unable to file a registration statement on time to draw down on the line.
In July 2002, the Company secured a new $10 million equity line of credit from Los Angeles-based Mercator Momentum Fund, L.P. The line of credit's term is three years. The amount we can receive is dependent on the amount of free trading shares put in an escrow account or an effective registration statement. We can draw down up to 90 percent of the market price (as defined in the agreement) of the registered shares or the free-trading shares deposited in escrow. The Company agrees to pay a 2 percent fee on the total value of the equity line, 1 percent of which will be payable in cash on the gross proceeds from the first drawdown and the remaining 1 percent fee payable in shares of the Company's common stock. As of the date of this report, no funds have been received against this line of credit.
Our operations are currently financed through various loans. Management has taken action and is formulating additional plans to strengthen the Company's working capital position and generate sufficient cash to meet its operating needs. Among the actions taken, we will be filing a Form SB-2 Registration Statement to raise additional capital and to draw down on the equity line of credit noted above. We have also engaged the services of certain investment banking groups to arrange for senior debts, mezzanine financing and purchase order financing. In addition, the Company also anticipates generating more revenue through its proposed merger and acquisition activities. No assurance can be made that management will be successful in achieving its plan or that additional capital will be available on a timely basis or at acceptable terms.

ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Providential Holdings, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Providential Holdings, Inc. (a Nevada corporation) and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2002 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2002 and 2001. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Providential Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2002, and the results of its consolidated operations and its cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The Company's financial statements are prepared using the generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has a negative accumulated deficit and incurred losses in the years ended June 30, 2002 and 2001. These factors as discussed in Note 19 to the consolidated financial statements, raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 19. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
As discussed on note 3 and 13 to the financial statements, the Company is subject to various law suits and during most recent NASD examination (July - August, 2000) of Providential Securities, Inc. (the wholly owned subsidiary), the NASD declared a net capital deficiency violation pursuant to conduct rules section 17 (a) 3 and 17 (a) 4. As a result of which, Providential Securities, Inc. withdrew the membership from the NASD in October 2000 and ceased its securities brokerage operations.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - GENERAL AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
NATURE OF BUSINESS AND REORGANIZATION
Providential Holdings, Inc. (“PHI") was organized under the laws of the State of Nevada on June 8, 1982 under the name of JR Consulting, Inc.; subsequently on February 9, 2000 it changed its name to Providential Holdings, Inc. From its inception through September 7, 1995, the Company generated nominal revenues and did not actively engage in business. Prior to the corporate combination agreement with Providential Securities, Inc. PHI had an operating subsidiary, Diva Entertainment, Inc (“Diva").
Providential Securities, Inc. (“Providential") was incorporated in the State of California on October 8, 1992. It operated a securities brokerage service in Fountain Valley, CA and New York City, NY. The principal markets for Providential's services were individual investors who were located throughout the United States. Providential bought and sold securities for its customers through a number of different markets, utilizing a brokerage clearinghouse to transact the trades. Subsequent to year-end, due to the results of a NASD examination, Providential has ceased its operations in the securities brokerage business. (See Note 3)
REORGANIZATION
On October 28, 1999 PHI entered into a corporate combination agreement (the “Agreement") with Providential, whereby PHI acquired all the outstanding shares of Providential in exchange for 20,000,000 shares of PHI common stock. The transaction was consummated on January 14, 2000. In addition, as a covenant under the Agreement, PHI was required to enter into an agreement to sell to Havilland Limited, all of the shares of Diva owned by PHI as well as to assign all of its rights, title and interest in an Option Agreement to Havilland Limited. (The Option Agreement gave PHI the option to purchase additional shares of Diva's common stock at its $.001 par value in order for PHI to maintain at least a 65% interest in Diva's outstanding common shares.) PHI's officers and directors resigned their positions and the shareholders of Providential assumed control of the two entities (together as “the Company"). The PHI shares are restricted against resale pursuant to the provisions of federal and state securities laws. Providential's shareholders of record as of the closing date owned approximately 75% of PHI's common stock. The acquisition has been treated as a capital transaction in substance, rather than a business combination, and was deemed a “reverse acquisition" for accounting purposes. Accordingly, Providential was the accounting acquirer. The operations of PHI have been included with those of Providential from the acquisition date.
The sale of Diva was consummated on June 30, 2000, whereby all of the shares of Diva owned by PHI as well as all of its rights, title and interest in the Option Agreement were exchanged for assignment to and assumption by Havilland Limited of the amounts due by PHI to officers of Diva amounting to $617,781, the amounts due to PHI from Diva amounting to $94,843 and the return of 135,000 shares of common stock of PHI owned by Havilland.
During February 2000 the Company formed a California corporation, Providential Clearing, Inc. as a vehicle to effectuate the purchase of a self-clearing broker-dealer and to operate a securities clearing firm. As of June 30, 2002 this subsidiary has had no operations.
On April 30, 2002, the Company consummated an agreement to acquire 56.67% equity interest in SlimTech, Inc., a Nevada corporation, in exchange for 3,000,000 shares of the Company's restricted common stock. SlimTech plans to be a distributor of LCD (liquid crystal display) computer flat screens and other consumer electronics. Since SlimTech is a dormant entity with insignificant assets or liabilities, no pro forma information is presented.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Providential Holdings, Inc., Providential Securities, Inc., Providential Clearing, Inc., and SlimTech, Inc., collectively referred to as the "Company". All significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase that are readily convertible into cash to be cash equivalents.
MARKETABLE SECURITIES
The Company's securities are classified as available-for-sale and, as such, are carried at fair value. Securities classified as available-for-sale may be sold in response to changes in interest rates, liquidity needs, and for other purposes. The Company does not currently have any held-to-maturity or trading securities.
Unrealized holding gains and losses for available-for-sale securities are excluded from earnings and reported as a separate component of stockholder's equity. Realized gains and losses for securities classified as available-for-sale are reported in earnings based upon the adjusted cost of the specific security sold.
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of the related asset or group of assets, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and carrying value of the asset or group of assets.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Maintenance and repair costs are charged to expense as incurred; costs of major additions and betterments are capitalized. When property and equipment are sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in income.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION
The cost of property and equipment is depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Depreciation and amortization of fixed assets are computed on a straight-line basis.
NET EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings per Share ("SFAS No. 128"). SFAS No. 128 eliminates the presentation of primary and fully diluted earnings per share ("EPS") and requires presentation of basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period and common stock equivalents outstanding at the end of the period. Common stock equivalents have been excluded from the calculation of weighted-average shares for purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share for 2002 and 2001; as such inclusion is anti-dilutive.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
In October 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation". SFAS No. 123 prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all stock-based compensation plans, including employee stock options, restricted stock, employee stock purchase plans and stock appreciation rights. SFAS No. 123 requires compensation expense to be recorded (i) using the new fair value method or (ii) using the existing accounting rules prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for stock issued to employees" (APB 25) and related interpretations with proforma disclosure of what net income and earnings per share would have been had the Company adopted the new fair value method. The Company has elected to account for stock-based compensation plans under the intrinsic value method and to disclose the pro forma amounts using the fair value method.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Statement of financial accounting standard No. 107, Disclosures about fair value of financial instruments, requires that the Company disclose estimated fair values of financial instruments. The carrying amounts reported in the statements of financial position for current assets and current liabilities qualifying as financial instruments are a reasonable estimate of fair value.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company recognized commission and fee revenue when the security transaction was complete and the commission or fee had been earned. The Company recognizes other service income when the service has been completed. The Company's revenue recognition policies are in compliance with Staff accounting bulletin (SAB) 101. Expenses are recognized in the period in which the corresponding liability is incurred.
ADVERTISING
The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred.
COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income ("SFAS No. 130"), establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income is defined to include all changes in equity, except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Among other disclosures, SFAS No. 130 requires that all items that are required to be recognized under current accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements.
INCOME TAXES
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income (loss). Valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
REPORTING OF SEGMENTS
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information ("SFAS No. 131"), which supersedes Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 14, Financial Reporting for Segments of a Business Enterprise, establishes standards for the way that public enterprises report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires reporting of selected information about operating segments in interim financial statements regarding products and services, geographic areas and major customers. SFAS No. 131 defines operating segments as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Currently, SFAS 131 has no effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements as substantially all of the Company's operations are conducted in one industry segment.
RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to certain risks and uncertainties. The Company provides its product on unsecured credit to most of its customers. Consequently, the Company's ability to collect the amounts due from customers is affected by economic fluctuations and each customer's ability to pay.
ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS
In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangibles." SFAS No. 142 addresses the initial recognition, measurement and amortization of intangible assets acquired individually or with a group of other assets (but not those acquired in a business combination) and addresses the amortization provisions for excess cost over fair value of net assets acquired or intangibles acquired in a business combination. The statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, and is effective July 1, 2001 for any intangibles acquired in a business combination initiated after June 30, 2001. The Company had evaluated any accounting effect arising from the recently issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangibles" on the Company's financial position. As a result, the Company wrote off the Goodwill of $ 128,560 that was derived from the business acquisition during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002.
SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," was issued in August 2001. SFAS No. 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, and addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. This statement supersedes SFAS No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations - Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions," for the disposal of a segment of a business. The Company is evaluating any accounting effect, if any, arising from the recently issued SFAS No. 144, "Goodwill and Other Intangibles" on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
In May 2002, the Board issued SFAS No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections ("SFAS 145"). SFAS 145 rescinds the automatic treatment of gains or losses from extinguishments of debt as extraordinary unless they meet the criteria for extraordinary items as outlined in APB Opinion No. 30, Reporting the Results of Operations, Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions. SFAS 145 also requires sale-leaseback accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to sale-leaseback transactions and makes various technical corrections to existing pronouncements. The provisions of SFAS 145 related to the rescission of FASB Statement 4 are effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002, with early adoption encouraged. All other provisions of SFAS 145 are effective for transactions occurring after May 15, 2002, with early adoption encouraged. The Company does not anticipate that adoption of SFAS 145 will have a material effect on its earnings or financial position.
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." This statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue No. 94-3, “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." This statement requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. Under EITF Issue 94-3, a liability for an exit cost, as defined, was recognized at the date of an entity's commitment to an exit plan. The provisions of this statement are effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002 with earlier application encouraged. The Company does not expect adoption of SFAS No. 146 to have a material impact, if any, on its financial position or results of operations.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain amounts in the 2001 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2002 presentation.
NOTE 3 - NASD EXAMINATION AND DISCONTINUANCE OF PROVIDENTIAL SECURITIES, INC.
After the completion of a routine audit of Providential Securities, Inc. ("Providential") in July and August 2000, the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. alleged that Providential violated certain provisions of the NASD's Conduct Rules 2120, 2330, 2110 and 3010, and Rules 15c2-4, 10b-5, 10b-9 and 15c3-3 of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Providential Securities, Inc. and Henry Fahman voluntarily submitted a Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent (“AWC",), which was accepted by NASD Regulation, Inc. on October 27, 2000, as follows:
Providential and Henry Fahman accepted and consented, without admitting or denying the alleged violations, to the entry of the following findings by NASD Regulation, Inc.:
From in or about December 15, 1998 through June 15, 1999, Providential Securities, through its Private Placement Memorandum, offered and sold one hundred three thousand (103,000) shares of Series I Class A Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock in Providential Securities, Inc. for five hundred fifteen thousand dollars ($515,000) to twenty-two (22) customers. In connection with the Private Placement Memorandum, Providential Securities made certain misrepresentations or omissions in soliciting investments from public customers, such as: failure to disclose that an officer of Providential Securities could make contributions to help meet the minimum requirement; failure to disclose Providential Securities, Inc.'s disciplinary history whereby Providential Securities, Inc. and Henry Fahman, jointly and severally, were fined $28,500 for net capital deficiencies and for failing to send the requisite written notification or confirmation in fifty eight (58) securities transactions to public customers; and failure to disclose that Henry Fahman was ordered to requalify by examination as a financial and operational principal.
That Providential's use of the private placement funds mainly for Providential's own operational purposes (more than for those represented in the private placement memorandum) amounted to conversion or improper use of those funds thus violating the Conduct Rules 2110 and 2330.
That Providential, acting through Henry Fahman, violated SEC Rule 15c2-4, SEC Rule 10b-9, and Conduct Rule 2110 (a) by not utilizing a proper escrow account for the investment funds received, (b) by not retaining the private placement funds until the minimum requirement was met, and (c) by not refunding these funds to the customers when the minimum was not met, or not met in a timely manner.
That by receiving and controlling funds from public customers in connection with the private placement, Providential became obligated to comply with the full provisions of SEC Rule 15c3-3 (during the period of January through at least March, 1999, Providential Securities, through Henry Fahman, and Providential's financial and operations principal, Theodore Fahman, failed to compute the reserve requirements, and set aside appropriate reserves for customer protection.
That Providential, acting through Henry Fahman, in violation of Conduct Rule 3010(a) and Membership and Registration Rule 1018, was operating three non-registered supervisory jurisdiction branch offices, and that while Providential's membership agreement limited the firm's branch activities to two branches, there were at least seven full-service satellite locations, thereby violating Conduct Rule 2110 and Membership and Registration Rule 1014.
That both Providential and Henry Fahman also violated Membership and Registration Rule 1030 for failing to enforce Membership and Registration Rule 1031(a) by allowing four individuals with deficiencies in license registration to conduct a securities business during much of 1998 and 1999.
That Providential and Henry Fahman failed to comply with Membership and Registration Rule 1030 by failing to enforce Rule 1032(f) by allowing five individuals to act in the capacity of equity trader with deficiency in registration as Limited Representative-Equity Traders.
That Providential and Henry Fahman also violated Membership and Registration Rule 1120 and Conduct Rule 2110 by permitting a broker to conduct business and earn commissions, while his status was "inactive" as a result of his failing to complete his continuing education requirements.
That from on or about May 2, 2000 through May 30, 2000, Providential Securities, Inc. distributed biased communications to the public regarding its ProTimer service through the World Wide Web.
Providential Securities, Inc. and Henry Fahman also consented to the imposition, at a maximum, of the following sanctions:
Providential shall be censured, fined $115,000.00 and shall offer rescission to those public customers who participated in the Providential Private Placement. Providential shall provide proof in form satisfactory to NASDR's District 2 staff of its offer of rescission to the customers who participated in the Providential Private Placement. In addition, to the extent the offer of rescission is accepted by any investors, Providential is ordered to provide proof of payment of the restitution in a form satisfactory to the District 2 NASDR staff, no later than 120 days after acceptance of the Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent. Henry Fahman shall be banned, in all capacities, from associating with any NASD member.
Based upon the above-mentioned circumstances, Providential Securities, Inc. withdrew its membership from the NASD in October 2000 and ceased its securities brokerage operation. The fine of $115,000 is included in accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Company has offered all Preferred Stock holders rescission on their investment.

NOTE 9 - DUE TO OFFICER
Due to officer, represents advances made by an officer of the Company, which are non-interest bearing, unsecured and due on demand.
NOTE 10 - CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES
The Company issued convertible promissory notes in March and April 2000 amounting $1,350,000 plus interest due on September 28, 2000 and $400,000 plus interest due on October 21, 2000. These notes are essentially demand notes that have a six-month term and bear interest at 8% annually, unless the notes are in default, in which instance the interest rate will increase to 12% annually. Further, the notes bear a redemption premium, based upon the date of redemption equal to: 5% if within the first 60 days; 10% if within the second 60 days; 15% if within the third 60 day-period, and 20% if redeemed after 181 days. On the 180th day, the Company can require the holders to convert (if a registration statement is in effect) the notes into common stock. After the 180th day, only the holders can elect to convert - no right of the Company to force conversion after that time. On the second anniversary, any remaining notes will automatically covert into common stock (if a registration statement is in effect). If the conversion is at the direction of the Company, then, in addition to the redemption amount, the Company would also owe a 20% per annum rate of return on the redemption amount.
The notes may be paid by tender of common stock of the Company, with the conversion rate for the issuance of the common stock equal to the “closing price" on the date of the initial purchase of the notes, which is the average of the closing bid price for the five previous trading days. Re-pricing warrants have also been issued in contemporaneous amounts, such that any decrease in the trading price of the stock will entitle the note holders to reset the exercise price to a lower price than that which existed on the closing date. The number of shares issued under the re-pricing warrants is directly linked to the Company's stock price on the conversion date of the notes. As the stock price decreases, the number of shares to be issued pursuant to the re-pricing warrants increase. The note purchasers are also entitled to a separate set of warrants, equal to 20% of the total purchase amounts of the notes acquired, allowing for an exercise price of 110% of the closing price and having a 5-year term.
In accepting these subscriptions for these convertible notes, the Company had agreed to file a registration statement with respect to the Company's common stock to be issued upon conversion of the notes and any exercise of the warrants, with the initial filing to occur within 60 days of the “first closing", which occurred on March 28, 2000. A 2% per month penalty will accrue if the registration statement is not declared effective on or prior to the 181st day following the first closing. The holders have the right to require repayment in cash if no registration statement is in effect on the 181st day. Since this registration statement was
not filed within the first 60 days of the first closing, nor has it been declared effective within 181 days after the first closing, the note holders have the right to the 2% penalty and repayment in cash. The Company has not paid these notes as of the date of this report and will also owe the note holders the 12% default rate and the 20% redemption premium noted above.
During the year ended June 30, 2002, $225,000 of the notes and accrued interest and other fees of $183,695, totaling $408,695, were converted to 170,288 shares of Company's common stock. The market value of the stock issued for the conversion was calculated at $25,240 and the gain of $383,455 resulted from this note conversion was recorded as an extraordinary gain in the financial statements.

All the options were exercisable on July 1, 2001 and expire on December 31, 2002. As of the date of this report, there have been no options exercised and seven million of these options have been forfeited.
As the Company complies with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" in accounting for options issued to employees no compensation expense has been recorded. Had compensation costs for the Company's stock option plan been determined based upon fair value at the grant date consistent with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (SFAS No. 123), “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," the Company's net loss and loss per share as of June 30, 2001 would have been as follows:
Net loss as reported $ (2,015,644)
Net loss - pro forma $ (7,265,484)
Loss per share as reported $ (0.07)
Loss per share - pro forma $ (0.27)
The weighted average fair value of options granted for the year ending June 30, 2001 is $.37. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following assumptions were used for grants in fiscal year 2001: risk-free rate of 6.0 percent; no expected dividend yield; expected volatility of 540 percent; and an expected life of 2.4 years.

NOTE 19- GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTY
As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of $1.2 million for the year ended June 30, 2002. As of June 30, 2002, the Company had a negative working capital of $6.7 million and a shareholder deficit of $5.2 million. Since the main operating subsidiary Providential Securities, Inc. ceased its securities brokerage operations in October 2000, there has been no significant revenue stream for the Company. The Company is in default of the terms of convertible notes at June 30, 2002. These factors, as well as the uncertain conditions that the Company faces in its day-to-day operations, create an uncertainty as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Management has taken action and is formulating additional plans to strengthen the Company's working capital position and generate sufficient cash to meet its operating needs through June 30, 2003 and beyond. Among the actions to be taken, the Company intends to file a Form SB-2 Registration Statement to raise additional capital and is currently in the process of attaining additional financing. In addition, the Company also anticipates generating more revenue through its proposed mergers and acquisitions (See Notes 18). No assurances can be made that management will be successful in achieving its plan.

In July 2002, the Company secured a $10 million equity line of credit from Los Angeles-based Mercator Momentum Fund, L.P. The line of credit's term is three years. The amount the company can receive is dependent on the amount of free trading shares put in an escrow account or an effective registration statement. The company can draw down up to 90 percent of the market price (as defined in the agreement) of the registered shares or the free-trading shares deposited in escrow. The Company agrees to pay a 2 percent fee on the total value of the equity line, 1 percent of which will be payable in cash on the gross proceeds from the first drawdown and the remaining 1 percent fee payable in shares of the Company's common stock. As of the date of this report, no funds have been received against this line of credit.
On August 23, 2002, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with ATC Technology Corporation, an Arizona corporation to purchase all issued and outstanding shares of ATC Technology Corporation. For consideration, the Company agreed to deliver $250,000 in promissory note, non-interest bearing, payable 270 days after closing, and $250,000 in promissory note, non-interest bearing, payable 18 months after closing, 3,000,000 shares of restricted stock of the Company with an option of additional shares to be issued after 270 days if the stock price does not reach $.30, 1,000,000 shares of restricted stock of the Company with an option of additional shares to be issued after one year if the stock price does not reach $.30.
