                         ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

                              ______________, 2002


     This Proxy  Statement is furnished in connection  with the  solicitation by
the Board of Directors of EVTC,  Inc. (the "Company") of proxies in the enclosed
form   for   the   Annual    Meeting   of    Stockholders    to   be   held   at
[________________________________________________________________________]    on
________________ 2002] at [______] A.M., and for any adjournment or adjournments
thereof, for the purposes set forth in the foregoing Notice of Annual Meeting of
Stockholders.

     A proxy may be revoked by a stockholder  at any time before its exercise by
filing with the  Secretary  of the Company,  at the address set forth above,  an
instrument of  revocation  or a duly executed  proxy bearing a later date, or by
attendance at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders and electing to vote in person.
Attendance  at the Annual  Meeting of  Stockholders  will not, in and of itself,
constitute revocation of a proxy.

     At the  Annual  Meeting,  the  Stockholders  will  vote  on  the  following
proposals:

     1.   The election of three (3) directors,  named in the accompanying  Proxy
          Statement  to serve on the Board of  Directors  of the  Company  until
          their respective successors are elected and qualified;

     2.   The  ratification  of  the  appointment  of  BDO  Seidman,  LLP as the
          independent  auditors  of the  Company  for  the  fiscal  year  ending
          September 30, 2002; and

     3.   The transaction of such other business as may properly come before the
          meeting.

     The  Company  knows of no  other  matters  to be  presented  at the  Annual
Meeting. If any additional matters should be properly  presented,  proxies shall
be voted in accordance with the judgment of the proxy holders.

     Each  stockholder of the Company is requested to complete,  sign,  date and
return the enclosed proxy without delay in order to ensure that the shares owned
by such stockholder are voted at the Annual Meeting.  Any stockholder may revoke
a proxy at any time before it is voted by: (i) delivering  written notice to the
Secretary of the Company, at the address of the Company set forth above, stating
that the proxy is revoked,  (ii) executing a subsequent  proxy and delivering it
to the  Secretary  of the Company,  or (iii)  attending  the Annual  Meeting and
voting  in  person.  Each  properly  executed  proxy  returned  will be voted as
directed.  In addition,  if no directions  are given or  indicated,  the persons
named in the accompanying proxy intend to vote proxies in favor of the foregoing
proposals.

     The Company will bear the cost of soliciting proxies.  Directors,  officers
and  employees of the Company may solicit  proxies  personally  or by telephone,
telegram  or  mail.  Such   directors,   officers  and  employees  will  not  be
additionally  compensated  for  such  solicitation  but  may be  reimbursed  for
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection therewith. Arrangements
will also be made





with brokerage  houses and other  custodians,  nominees and  fiduciaries for the
forwarding of proxy material to the  beneficial  owners of the Common Stock held
of record by such persons and the Company  will,  upon request,  reimburse  such
custodians,  nominees and  fiduciaries  for  reasonable  out-of-pocket  expenses
incurred in connection therewith.

     The  principal  executive  offices of the  Company are located at 3125 Bolt
Street,  Fort  Worth,  Texas  76110.  The  approximate  date on which this Proxy
Statement and the accompanying  form of Proxy will first be sent or given to the
Company's stockholders is February ___, 2002.

                                VOTING SECURITIES

     Only  holders of shares of Common  Stock of record at the close of business
on February ___, 2002 (the "Record  Date") are entitled to notice of and to vote
at the Annual Meeting or any adjournment  thereof. On the Record Date there were
[____________]  shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding.  Each outstanding
share of Common  Stock is entitled to one vote upon all matters to be acted upon
at the Annual Meeting.

                                VOTING PROCEDURES

     The directors will be elected by the affirmative vote of a plurality of the
shares of Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting,
provided a quorum exists.  The approval of the selection of BDO Seidman,  LLP as
the Company's independent auditors for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2002
requires  the  affirmative  vote of a  majority  of the  shares of Common  Stock
present  in person or  represented  by proxy at the  Meeting,  provided a quorum
exists.

     A quorum is  established  if the  holders  of a  majority  of the votes are
present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual  Meeting.  Votes will be
counted and certified by one or more Inspectors of Election.  In accordance with
Delaware law,  abstentions and "broker  non-votes" (i.e. proxies from brokers or
nominees  indicating that such persons have not received  instructions  from the
beneficial  owner or other  persons  entitled to vote shares as to a matter with
respect to which the  brokers or  nominees  do not have  discretionary  power to
vote) will be treated as present for purposes of  determining  the presence of a
quorum. Broker non-votes with respect to any matter are not considered as shares
entitled to vote and will,  therefore,  have no legal effect on the vote on that
particular  matter.  The enclosed  proxies will be voted in accordance  with the
instructions  thereon.  Unless otherwise stated,  all shares represented by such
proxy will be voted as instructed. Proxies may be revoked as noted above.

                                       2

SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

     Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, as amended,  requires  EVTC's  executive
officers,  directors  and persons who  beneficially  own more than 10% of EVTC's
common  stock to file  reports  of their  beneficial  ownership  and  changes in
ownership (Forms 3, 4 and 5, and any amendment  thereto) with the SEC. Executive
officers,  directors,  and  greater-than-ten  percent  holders  are  required to
furnish EVTC with copies of all Section  16(a) forms they file.  Based solely on
its  review  of such  forms  received  by it,  EVTC  believes  that  all  filing
requirements  applicable to its  directors,  executive  officers and  beneficial
owners of 10% or more of the common stock were complied with during fiscal 2001.

STOCK OPTION PLANS

     The Company  maintains  stock  option  plans  designated  as the 1992 Stock
Option Plan (the "1992 Plan"),  the 1996 Stock Option Plan (the "1996 Plan") and
the 2000  Stock  Option  Plan (the  "2000  Plan").  The 1992 and 1996 Plans each
reserve 500,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock for issuance,  and the 2000
Plan reserves 1,000,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock for issuance,  upon
the  exercise  of options  designated  as either  (i)  incentive  stock  options
("ISOs") under the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986,  amended (the "Code") or (ii)
non-qualified  options.  Nonqualified  options  may be granted  to  consultants,
directors  (whether  or not they are  employees),  employees  or officers of the
Company.  In certain  circumstances,  the exercise of stock  options may have an
adverse effect on the market price of the Company's Common Stock.

     The purpose of the Option Plans is to encourage  stock ownership by certain
directors,  officers  and  employees  of the Company and  certain  other  people
instrumental  to the  success of the  Company  and give them a greater  personal
interest in the success of the Company. The Option Plans are administered by the
Board  of  Directors  and/or  the  Compensation  Committee.  The  Board  or  the
Compensation  Committee,  as  applicable,  within the  limitations of the Option
Plans,  determines  the persons to whom options  will be granted,  the number of
shares to be covered by each option, whether the options granted are intended to
be ISOs, the duration and rate of exercise of each option,  the option  purchase
price per share and the manner of exercise, the time, manner and form of payment
upon exercise of an option,  and whether  restrictions such as repurchase rights
by the Company  are to be imposed on shares  subject to  options.  ISOs  granted
under the Option  Plans may not be granted at a price less than the fair  market
value (110% of fair market value in the case of ISOs granted to persons  holding
10% or more of the voting  stock of the Company) of the Common Stock on the date
of grant.  Options  granted under the Option Plans will expire not more than ten
years from the date of grant (five years in the case of ISOs  granted to persons
holding 10% or more of the voting  stock of the  Company).  Except as  otherwise
provided in the individual option agreement  granting such options,  any options
granted  under the  Option  Plans are not  transferable  during  the  optionee's
lifetime  but are  transferable  at death by will or by the laws of descent  and
distribution.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

     There are currently no  employment  agreements in effect with the Company's
executive officers.

                          COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT

     The Compensation Committee reviews,  recommends and approves changes to the
Company's  compensation  policies and programs and is responsible  for reviewing
and approving the  compensation of the Chief Executive  Officer and other senior
officers of the Company.

     The following  report shall not be deemed  incorporated by reference by any
general  statement  incorporating  by reference  this Proxy  Statement  into any
filing  under the  Securities  Act of 1933 (the  "Securities  Act") or under the

COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY

     The Company believes that executive compensation should be based upon value
returned  to  stockholders.  The  Company has  developed  compensation  programs
designed  to  reflect   Company   performance  and  to  be  competitive  in  the
marketplace.  In designing its compensation  programs,  the Company attempted to
reflect both value  created for  stockholders  while  supporting  the  Company's
strategic  goals.  The  Company's  compensation  programs  reflect the following
themes:

     o    Compensation  should be meaningfully  related to the value created for
          stockholders.

     o    Compensation  programs  should  support the Company's  short-term  and
          long-term strategic goals and objectives.

     o    Compensation  programs  should promote the Company's  value and reward
          individuals for outstanding contributions to the Company's success.

     o    Short-term  and long-term  compensation  should be designed to attract
          and retain superior executives.

     The Company's executive  compensation is based upon three components,  base
salary, annual incentive bonuses and long-term incentives, which are intended to
serve the overall compensation philosophy.

BASE SALARY

     The base salary of each  executive  officer is  determined as a function of
three principal factors: the individual's  performance,  the relationship of the
individual's salary to similar executives in comparable companies, and increases
in the individual's responsibilities, whether through promotions or otherwise.

ANNUAL INCENTIVE BONUS

     The  Company's  annual  incentive  bonuses  are  designed  to  reflect  the
individual  officer's  contribution to the  profitability of the Company and any
special achievements by the respective  officers.  Each officer's bonus is based
upon the Company's  performance in various areas, such as sales, profit margins,
operating  expenses  and  earnings  before  interest  and taxes as compared to a
pre-determined plan for each officer for each year.

                                        Respectfully,

                                        Jack Stefiuk

                   CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

     The Company's automotive refrigerant packaging and distribution  operations
are located in a 21,000  square  foot  building  situated  at 550 James  Street,
Lakewood,  New Jersey  08701.  The building is leased at a rental of $10,000 per
month from George  Cannan,  Sr., the Company's  founder,  Chairman and principal
stockholder,  pursuant to 5-year lease.  The Company  believes that the terms of
such  lease  are at least as  favorable  as those  that it could  obtain  from a
non-affiliated third party. This lease will expire December 31, 2004.

                                       10


     On April 1, 2000,  the  Company  acquired  the  remaining  50%  interest in
Liberty Technologies  International,  Inc. ("Liberty") from Concorde Science and
Technology,  Inc.  ("Concorde"),  its previous joint venture partner.  The total
consideration  paid by the Company for the remaining  fifty percent  interest in
Liberty was approximately $1.6 million, which consideration  consisted of shares
of the Company's  common stock,  loan cash advances to the joint venture  (which
occurred in prior  periods),  and assumed  liabilities.  In connection with this
acquisition the Company,  in fiscal 2001, issued an additional 174,690 shares of
common stock to Concorde,  the issuance of which was  contingent on the price of
the Company's  common stock on March 31, 2001.  Robert Casper, a director of the
Company, is the President of Concorde.

REQUIRED VOTE

     Election of the directors  requires the affirmative  vote of a plurality of

THE BOARD OF  DIRECTORS  OF THE COMPANY  RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" THE ELECTION OF
THE ABOVE NAMED NOMINEES. PROXIES SOLICITED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS WILL BE SO

                         RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT
                             OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

     The firm of BDO Seidman,  LLP has served as the independent auditors of the
Company since 1999.  The Board of Directors  has  appointed BDO Seidman,  LLP to
continue as the  independent  auditors of the Company for the fiscal year ending
September 30, 2002,  subject to  ratification by the Company's  stockholders.  A
representative  of BDO  Seidman,  LLP is  expected  to be  present at the Annual
Meeting to respond to  appropriate  questions  from  stockholders  and to make a
statement if such representative desires to do so.

AUDIT FEES

     BDO  Seidman,  LLP's fees for the  Company's  fiscal 2001 annual  audit and
review of interim financial statements were $111,000.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION SYSTEMS DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION FEES

     The  Company  did not pay any fees to its  auditors  during the last fiscal
year for financial information systems design and implementation fees.

ALL OTHER FEES

     BDO Seidman,  LLP's fees for all other professional services rendered to us
were  $31,000,  which  includes fees for  consulting  and other  accounting  and
auditing  services related  primarily to acquisition  activities.  All fees were
paid to the Company's  principal  accounting  firm, BDO Seidman,  LLP. The Audit
Committee has considered whether the provision of the services included in other
fees is compatible with maintaining the auditor's independence.

REQUIRED VOTE

     The Board of Directors believes that the ratification of the appointment of
BDO Seidman,  LLP is in the best interests of the  stockholders  of the Company.
The approval of the selection of BDO Seidman,  LLP as the Company's  independent
auditors for the fiscal year ending  September 30, 2002 requires the affirmative
vote  of a  majority  of the  shares  of  Common  Stock  present  in  person  or
