Providential Holdings’ Subsidiary ATC Technology Completed Its
Christmas Shipments to Wal-mart Stores
Fountain Valley, Calif., (November 26, 2003) – Providential Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB: PRVH; Berlin and Frankfurt Stock Exchanges: PR7, WKN 935160; www.phiglobal.com) today announced its wholly-owned subsidiary ATC Technology Corp. (www.atctech.com), has completed its shipment to Wal-mart Stores Inc. (USA) (NYSE:WMT) for its flagship product, GamegoTM.
This award-winning product, GamegoTM will be available in 500 select and larger high-video-game-volume Wal-mart stores across the USA for this Christmas season. Shoppers can go to www.atctechnologycorp.com\Wal-mart\store-locations.htm site to see the 500 stores and locate the stores in their states for this product. Estimated available date in the stores will be after December 8 and shoppers are suggested to call the individual Wal-mart store to confirm the actual arrival date. Many thousands of Xbox, PS2 and Nintendo game console users will have a chance to buy this popular product in these Wal-mart stores. Wal-mart has indicated that the retail price will be under $200. We believe that this aggressive pricing will create a fast sell-through and enable Wal-mart to re-order from ATC very quickly.
ATC Technology Corp, winner of a Design and Engineering award on its mobile display design and having appeared in numerous newspapers and TV channels, based in Tempe, Arizona, is an innovator and leader in mobile DVD and video game display products. It makes GamegoTM, MoviegoTM, a mobile DVD system and VidegoTM, a wireless car entertainment system. These patent-pending products and future additions will play an important role in the current $20 billion and the forecasted $60 billion mobile entertainment industry (statistics courtesy Video Game Review magazine). The Moviego and Vidego products are available through auto dealerships, such as Lexus, Mercedes Benz, Honda and Audi.
Henry Fahman, Chairman and CEO of Providential Holdings, commented, “The ATC team has done a fabulous job in completing the Wal-mart production. This has manifested Providential’s ability to make things happen and to create value for our shareholders. We also want to thank the other Providential team leaders for their dedication in their work in progress and wish them the same success as the ATC team.”
Norm Klein,VP of Operations of ATC Technology Corp., stated, “I am very happy to report to our PRVH shareholders that ATC has executed this Wal-mart project right on time and within our projected budget. With this large Wal-mart order’s experience under our belt, we are now ready to work on several equally big orders for 2004.”
Keith Wong, President and CEO of ATC Technology Corp., added, “I am proud and invigorated at the same time today. I am very proud that ATC has become a supplier to Wal-mart, which is very selective of its suppliers. I am very invigorated because ATC has overcome all the challenges to meet Wal-mart’s production and shipment deadlines.”
