This press release includes forward-looking statements. You can
identify these statements by their forward-looking words such as
"may," "will," "expect," "anticipate," "believe," "guidance,"
"estimate," "intend," predict," and "continue" or similar words or any
connection with any discussion of future events or circumstances or of
management's current estimates or beliefs. Forward-looking statements
are subject to risks and uncertainties, and therefore results may
differ materially from those set forth in those statements. A
transaction as contemplated would require approvals of the Boards of
Directors and shareholders of both parties and numerous other
conditions. Full details of such a transaction will be provided to
DPAC shareholders and filed with the SEC by DPAC as and when
appropriate. There is no assurance possible, and none is intended,
that the transaction will be completed at all or on the terms
described. The transaction is and shall continue to be subject to
numerous conditions and contingencies until the transaction is
completed. DPAC Technologies Corp. will provide further detailed
information to its shareholder as and when required to solicit their
consent. The transaction's costs and diversion of management attention
could negatively impact results. Delisting of our shares could have
adverse effects on the liquidity of trading in the common stock and
the price per share. Other factors that affect DPAC's business and its
ability to conclude a merger transaction include, but are not limited
to, that our Airborne(TM) products are new, that we sell to original
equipment manufacturers for new product introductions by them, and
that all of these are subject to risks and uncertainties regarding new
product introductions such as uncertainty of market acceptance. The
parties need additional financing to complete the transactions as
envisioned. Such financing may not be available on favorable terms.
Also, there can be no assurance that such transaction will be
completed or, if completed, that it will be successful. The
transaction would involve a change of control, in that it is likely
that voting control of DPAC may be given to former shareholders of
QuaTech, and if the principal former shareholders of QuaTech were to
act in concert, they might be able to elect a majority of DPAC's Board
of Directors. Other factors that affect DPAC's business include, but
are not limited to, the degree of market acceptance of our existing
and planned wireless connectivity products, future business
opportunities with these products, protection of licensed technology
or proprietary rights, risks of litigation, our need for additional
financing in order to realize our opportunities, other challenges
related to completing our proposed merger with QuaTech, Inc., further
challenges in subsequently combining our operations with QuaTech,
Inc.'s own, and general market and economic conditions. More
information about the risks and challenges faced by DPAC Technologies
Corp. is contained in the Securities and Exchange Commission filings
made by the Company on Form 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K. DPAC Technologies
Corp. specifically disclaims any obligation to update or revise any
forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information,
future developments or otherwise.
