FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


           ARCA CORP.  DECLARES DIVIDEND DISTRIBUTION


Maple Shade, New Jersey, (Business Wire) June 15, 1999 - The Board of Directors
of ARCA Corp. (OTC BB: ARCC) today declared the following dividend distribution.
One share of ARCA's wholly owned subsidiary, Apta Holdings, Inc., a Delaware
corporation, for each share of ARCA Corp. common stock held by ARCA Corp.
stockholders of record at the close of business on June 28, 1999.

Apta is a financial services holding company.  Through its subsidiaries, Apta
will be engaged in two lines of business:  owning and operating income-producing
real estate, and the originating and servicing of loans to businesses and
consumers, generally secured by real estate or other assets.

On June 8, 1999, ARCA Corp. announced that ARCA and its controlling shareholders
have entered into an agreement with Agate Technologies, Inc. and its controlling
shareholders, with an anticipated closing on June 29th following ARCA's June 28,
1999 shareholders' meeting.

Pursuant to the agreement, ARCA formed Apta Holdings, Inc. and transferred all
of its assets and liabilities to it.  Each shareholder of record of ARCA as of
the close of business on June 28, 1999 shall receive one share of Apta Holdings,
Inc. for each ARCA share then held.  Apta Holdings, Inc. will own and operate
ARCA's current business operations under ARCA's current management.  The shares
of Apta Holdings, Inc. will be distributed after completion of required
regulatory filings which management expects to complete by September 30, 1999.


Under the terms of the agreement, shareholders who own approximately 56 percent
of Agate's common stock will exchange their shares in Agate for 7,867,500 shares
of ARCA common stock, which gives them an ARCA ownership interest in excess of
80 percent.  ARCA shall also offer to all other Agate shareholders, both common
and preferred, the option to exchange their Agate shares for substantially
equivalent ARCA shares.  After the closing, Agate shareholders will therefore
control ARCA, which will have Agate as a majority-owned subsidiary.  Closing is
scheduled for June 29, 1999.

Agate Technologies is a California corporation founded in January 1996.  Agate's
initial focus was to develop, customize, and market hot swap software to the
notebook OEM segment of the PC industry. Agate then applied its hot swap
technology to provide hot swap removable data storage devices bundled with
software for notebook and desktop PCs using today's IDE interface.  Hot swap is
the ability to detach one device (such as a hard drive) from a computer and
attach another device without shutting the computer off and rebooting.

ARCA plans to reincorporate in Delaware effective June 30, 1999 under the name
Agate Technologies, Inc. and to then concentrate on bringing to market Agate's
proprietary products.  ARCA will be guided by Francis C.S. Khoo and Shirley Ooi,
founders of Agate, who will become ARCA directors and executive officers.  It is
anticipated that ARCA's name will change to Agate Technologies, Inc., and its
symbol on the OTC Bulletin Board will change to AGTE on June 30, 1999.

developments may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statements as a result of market uncertainties or industry
factors.  Some important factors that may cause actual results that differ
materially from those in any forward-looking statements may include the
availability of future financing when needed, market acceptance of Agate's
products and services , competitive pressures, and the ability to attract and
retain key executive sales and management personnel.  ARCA disclaims any
obligation or responsibility to update any such forward-looking statements.
