PART I
DPAC Technologies Corp., a California corporation (DPAC) through its wholly owned
subsidiary, Quatech, Inc. (Quatech), designs, manufactures, and sells device
connectivity and device networking solutions for a broad market. Quatech sells its
products through a global network of distributors, system integrators, value added
resellers, and original equipment manufacturers (OEM). The Company sells to customers
in both domestic and foreign markets.
Merger
On April 28, 2005, DPAC entered into a merger agreement, as subsequently amended,
with Quatech for a transaction to be accounted for as a purchase under accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The merger was approved by
both Quatech and DPAC shareholders on February 23, 2006 and was consummated on February
28, 2006. For accounting purposes, the transaction was considered a reverse merger
under which Quatech was considered the acquirer of DPAC. Accordingly, the purchase price
was allocated among the fair values of the assets and liabilities of DPAC, while the
historical results of Quatech are reflected in the results of the combined company.
Except where otherwise noted, the financial
information contained herein represents the results of operations of Quatech through
the merger date, and combined Quatech and DPAC after the merger date of February 28,
2006.

General Description of Business
Quatech is an industry leader in device networking and connectivity solutions.
Through design, manufacturing and support, Quatech maintains high standards of
reliability and performance. Customers include OEMs, value added resellers (VARs) and
System Integrators, as well as end-users in many industries, including banking,
retail/POS, access control, building automation and security, and energy management.
DPAC was incorporated in California in September 1983, originally under the name
Dense-Pac Microsystems, Inc., and changed its name to DPAC Technologies Corp. in August
2001.
Quatech was incorporated in Ohio in 2000 as W.R. Acquisition, Inc. In July 2000,
W.R. Acquisition acquired the assets and business of Quatechs predecessor, Qua Tech,
Inc., an Ohio corporation, and the company changed its name to Quatech, Inc. The Company
has its worldwide headquarters in Hudson, OH.
At the time of the acquisition in July 2000, Qua Tech, Inc. developed and marketed a
data acquisition product line as well as a device connectivity product line. The data
acquisition product line consisted of analog-to-digital converters, digital I/O hardware,
signal conditioning hardware, and related software. The analog to digital converters as
well as the digital I/O products were available for a number of computer bus
architectures including ISA, PCI, and PC Card. The device connectivity product line
included a number of multi-port serial adapters supporting asynchronous and synchronous
transmissions. The products were also available on multiple computer bus architectures
including ISA, PCI and PC Card. In addition, Qua Tech, Inc. had just completed the
release of the initial USB to Serial product line.
Subsequent to the acquisition, Quatech evaluated the market opportunities in both
the data acquisition and device connectivity markets and made the determination to focus
product development, along with sales and marketing activities, on the device
connectivity product lines. All product development activities related to the data
acquisition products were suspended. Sales and marketing activities in support of the
data acquisition products were restricted to the support of a limited number of existing
original equipment manufacturers and resellers.
Quatech has continued to enhance the device connectivity product line through the
development and release of additional products. These products have been developed as a
reaction to both general market and specific customer demand. Significant new products
released in this timeframe include a full line of universal PCI multi-port serial cards
that support both 5V and 3.3V PCI slots, 8 and 16 port versions of the USB to Serial
products, ruggedized multi-port, serial PC Card products, and multi-port serial Compact
Flash products.
In 2001, Quatech initiated the development of its serial device server product line
that would allow devices with traditional serial ports to be connected to a Local Area
Network (LAN) through a TCP/IP connection. This product line was released for commercial
availability in late 2003. Quatech has continued the development of this product line
through the release of new product models, including products capable of connecting to
the network through a wireless 802.11 interface.
In October 2009, Quatech acquired the SocketSerial product line from Socket Mobile.
The products in the SocketSerial product line consist of a CompactFlash serial card, a PC
serial card, a PC dual serial card, and a PC quad serial card, all with fixed and
removable cable models. Also included are a USB to Serial Adapter, USB to Ethernet
Adapter and a license to sell the Cordless Serial Adapter. In addition, Quatech has added
several of the North American and International distribution partners that had
historically sold the SocketSerial products to its list of distribution partners for both
its device and networking connectivity product lines.
Products
Quatech products can be categorized into two broad product lines:
Our Device Connectivity products include:
|
|
|
Multi-port serial boards that add ports to desktop computers to allow
for the connection of multiple peripherals with standard interfaces.
These products are used in a variety of industries including banking,
transportation management, kiosks, satellite communications, and
retail point of sale. |
|
|
|
|
Mobile products that add ports for laptop and handheld computers.
These products include multi-port serial adapters, parallel port
adapters, and Bluetooth products. |
|
|
|
|
USB to Serial products that add standard serial ports to any computing
environment through a USB port. These products address the need to add
connectivity through a solution that is external to the computer.
These products are used in several markets including retail point of
sale and kiosks. |
4
Our Device Networking products include:
|
|
|
Serial device server products that connect peripherals to a local area
network through a standard TCP/IP interface. This product line was
introduced in 2003 and was extended in 2004 through the introduction
of product models that connect to the local area network through a
wireless 802.11 interface. |
|
|
|
|
Industrial rated, embedded wireless modules that enable OEM customers
to add standard 802.11 connectivity capabilities to their products.
These modules address the needs of a number of industries including
transportation, telematics, warehouse and logistic, and point of sale. |
Multi-port serial boards consists primarily of ISA bus and PCI bus products with 1,
2, 4, or 8 asynchronous serial ports as well as single port synchronous serial ports.
Mobile products consists primarily of PC Card and Compact Flash products with 1, 2,
or 4 asynchronous serial ports, PC Cards with a single synchronous serial port and a PC
Card with a single parallel port.
In March 2005, Quatech announced the introduction of new four and eight port
multiple electrical interface (MEI) products to the device server product line. These
products were released for general availability in May 2005.
In March 2005, Quatech announced the introduction of six new wireless products to
the device server product line. These products were released for general availability in
March 2005.
In June 2004, Quatech announced its intention of developing a line of RFID reader
products. A prototype was developed and demonstrated at the RFID World conference in
April 2004. No further work has been done in the development of this product line since
the development of the initial prototype. Quatech is continuing to monitor this market
prior to committing the resources necessary to complete the development of this product
line.
Airborne TM wireless product line the Airborne wireless product line
was acquired with the merger of DPAC and Quatech and was originally announced by DPAC in
September 2003 to address needs in the industrial wireless marketplace with a product
known as the Airborne Wireless LAN Node module. The wireless product utilizes the 802.11
standard communications protocol (also known as WiFi) and targets the identified growth
opportunities in embedded and plug-and-play applications, where we believe OEM customers
as well as end-user customers have a need for an integrated local area network wireless
connectivity solution. The wireless module includes a radio, base-band processor, an
application processor and software for a drop-in web-enabled WiFi solution for
connecting equipment, instrumentation and other devices to a local area network. An
additional plug-and-play version of the product was developed and named AirborneDirect.
This product provides a web-enabled wireless connectivity solution for industrial
equipment already in field use. Since, for the customer, there is no need to develop the
software, or develop the radio frequency and communications expertise in-house, customers
can realize reduced product development costs and a quick time-to-market. The
AirborneDirect modules provide instant local area network and Internet connectivity, and
connect through standard serial or Ethernet interfaces to a wide variety of applications.
The Airborne modules are designed to provide wireless local area network and
Internet connectivity in transportation, logistics, point of sale devices, medical
equipment, and other industrial products and applications. The product was designed to
address the needs of small to medium volume applications where time to market, industrial
temperature compatibility and ease of implementation are key factors in the decision to
implement a wireless connectivity solution. Equipment with an Airborne module, either
embedded or attached, can be monitored and controlled by a handheld device, by a personal
computer in a central location or over the Internet. This eliminates cabling, allows the
equipment to be portable and provides an effective mode of supplying the non-PC device to
a local area network and the Internet. For example, the module can be a solution for
communicating remote sensing and data collection activities through the Internet to a
users PC or network database software.
Distribution, Marketing and Customers
Quatech sells its products through a global network of distributors, system integrators,
value added resellers, and original equipment manufacturers. Internationally, Quatech
sells and markets its products through over 50 distributors and resellers in more than 30
countries. Quatech customers operate in a broad array of markets including retail point
of sale, industrial automation, financial services and banking, telecommunications,
transportation management, access control and security, gaming, data acquisition, and
homeland security. All customers are supported from Quatechs headquarters in Hudson, OH
or from sales and technical support personnel located in Southern California. No single
customer accounted for more than 10% of net sales in 2009.
5
International Sales
The Company had export sales that accounted for 26% and 23% of total net sales in
2010 and 2009, respectively. Export sales were primarily to Canada and Western European
and South American countries. Foreign sales are made in U.S dollars. Specific demand
shifts by customers could result in significant changes in our export sales from year to
year.
All of Quatechs assets are located in the United States. The Company does not own
or operate any manufacturing operations or sales offices in foreign countries.
Operations
Quatech procures all parts and certain services involved in the production of its
products, and subcontracts its product manufacturing to outside partners who specialize
in such services. Quatech believes that this approach is optimal as it reduces fixed
costs, extends manufacturing capacity and increases production flexibility.
Quatechs products are manufactured using both standard and semi-custom components.
Most of these components are available from multiple sources in the domestic electronics
distribution market. There are, however, several components that are provided only by
single-source providers.
The manufacturing for the wireless product is being done offshore. We are reliant on
the offshore manufacturer to provide a quality product and meet our production
requirements. We currently have a ten to fifteen week lead-time on various products and
schedule the manufacturing requirements based on our sales forecasts. Changes to the
sales forecast could affect the inventory level of the wireless product. There is
currently no second source for the production of the wireless module, but Quatech does
have the right to transfer production to another manufacturer if there are problems with
the manufacturer. If Quatech were required to change its primary offshore manufacturer,
it would require significant time. This may lead to not having sufficient inventory to
meet pending sales requirements. We believe that the offshore manufacturer is of
sufficient size and resources to meet any production requirements that we may have,
including any foreseeable increased volume needs for the wireless products.
Our reliance on certain single-source and limited-source components exposes us to
quality control issues if these suppliers experience a failure in their production
process or otherwise fail to meet our quality requirements. A failure in single-source or
limited-source components or products could force us to repair or replace a product
utilizing replacement components. If we cannot obtain comparable replacements or
effectively retune or redesign our products, we could lose customer orders or incur
additional costs, which could have a material adverse effect on our gross margins and
results of operations.
Research and Development
Our future success will depend in major part on our ability to develop new products
or product enhancements to keep up with technological advances and to meet customer
needs. Our research and development efforts for 2011 will focus on developing new
wireless and related products and expanding our product offerings.
Quatechs engineering, research and development expenses were $733,000 in 2010 and
$775,000 in 2009. Additionally, the Company capitalized $0 and $29,000 of software
development costs incurred in 2010 and 2009, respectively. Quatech does not rely upon
patent protection to protect its competitive position. The nature of the market Quatech
competes in places a heavy emphasis on the ability of Quatech to service and support the
customer along with the reliability of the products design and manufacturing.
Engineering activities consist of the design and development of new products and the
redesign of existing products to keep current with changes in the industry and products
offered by the Companys competitors. The Company also designs and develops new products
for specific customers and such activities are often conducted in partnership with our
customers.
We are currently involved in research and development for new software and hardware
approaches for utilization in our wireless product line, as well as the development of
package level products that may incorporate our wireless products as part of the overall
system design. Our product development activities are solution driven, and our goal is to
create technological advancements by working with each customer to develop advanced
cost-effective products that solve each customers specific requirements. However, we,
for the most part, develop products within the 802.11 standard and infrequently might
develop patentable inventions. The 802.11 standards on which our products are based are
defined by IEEE and designed to ensure interoperability of all products purporting to
meet the standard.
6
Service and Warranty
We offer warranties of various lengths, which differ by customer and product type and
typically cover defects in materials and workmanship. We perform warranty and other
maintenance services for our products in Ohio and at our contract manufacturer overseas.
Competitive Conditions
Quatech competes in the device connectivity and device networking markets. Both of
these markets are characterized by a broad number of competitors, both domestic and
foreign, of varying size. Quatech competes on the basis of providing reliable products,
marketed at a mid-level price compared to other competitive offerings. Quatech emphasizes
customer service and
support as a key differentiator. Quatechs ability to meet rapid delivery
requirements is a key element of our ability to service the customer. This requires us to
carry significant amounts of inventory to meet our customers forecasted needs.
As the markets for multi-port serial adapters in both the PC Card form factor and
PCI form factor mature, Quatech has placed emphasis on the development and marketing of
products that address the growth markets of multi-port USB to serial adapters and device
servers that connect devices to Ethernet Local Area Networks. Quatech believes that these
emerging product lines are significant to its future growth.
We have competition from other wireless products using 802.11 technologies. There
are also other companies that offer similar products with the same or other
configurations and radio communication protocols, including cellular, Bluetooth and
proprietary radio solutions that will compete with our Airborne wireless module. The
primary competitors in providing embedded 802.11 wireless solutions to OEM customers are
Lantronix Inc. and Digi International Inc. Other competitors may provide alternative
radio protocols such as cellular or other proprietary technologies for sale to OEMs.
These competitors include Wavecom SA, Maxstream, and Skybility. Other companies such as
Symbol Technologies Inc. and Cisco Systems Inc. make wireless solutions that are not
primarily aimed at OEM customers, but may be used in those applications and have been in
certain circumstances. Many of these companies in the wireless market have greater
financial, manufacturing and marketing capabilities than we have.
Backlog
As of December 31, 2010 Quatech had backlog orders which management believed to be
firm commitments of approximately $664,000. As of December 31, 2009 Quatech had backlog
orders which management believed to be firm commitments of approximately $540,000. All of
these orders pending as of December 31, 2010 are expected to ship in calendar year 2011.
Backlog as of any particular date is not necessarily indicative of Quatechs future sales
trends.
Product orders in our backlog are subject to changes in delivery schedules or to
cancellation at the option of the purchaser without significant penalty. While we
regularly review our backlog of orders to ensure that it adequately reflects product
orders expected to ship within the one year period, we cannot make any guarantee that
such orders will actually be shipped or that such orders will not be delayed or cancelled
in the future. We make regular adjustments to our backlog as customer delivery schedules
change and in response to changes in our production schedule. Accordingly, we stress that
backlog as of any particular date should not be considered a reliable indicator of sales
for any future period and our revenues in any given period may depend substantially on
orders placed in that period.
Personnel
As of December 31, 2010, Quatech employed 22 full time employees, 19 of which are
located at Quatechs facility in Hudson, Ohio, 3 of which are located in Southern
California. Of the 22 full-time employees, 4 were in general and administration, 7 were
in sales, marketing and customer support, 6 were in engineering, research and
development, and 5 were in operations and manufacturing. The Company occasionally hires
part-time employees. The Company believes that it has a good relationship with its
employees and no employees are represented by a union.
Cautionary Statements
Investors should carefully consider the risks described below and all other
information in the Form 10-K. The risk and uncertainties described below are not the only
one facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to the
Company may also impair the Companys business and operations.
Statements in this Report that are not historical facts, including all statements
about our business strategy or expectations, or information about new and existing
products and technologies or market characteristics and conditions, are forward-looking
statements that involve risks and uncertainties. These include, but are not limited to,
the factors described below which could cause actual results to differ from those
contemplated by the forward-looking statements.
7
Potential Future Insufficiency of Capital and Financial Resources
Our financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The report of
our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on our financial statements for the
year ended December 31, 2010 contains an explanatory paragraph noting that certain
conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our
ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to establish
profitable operations and to raise additional financing. We have been taking steps
intended to achieve positive cash flows, including the acquisition of a product line and
reduction and management of our
operating costs. Our current senior credit facility will mature and become payable
in May of 2011, and we will be required to refinance this credit facility. We may require
additional financing to meet our ongoing obligations through the end of the year ending
December 31, 2011. Our continued ability to obtain financing may be unavailable if and
when needed. If we obtain additional financing, the terms and conditions of the financing
could have material adverse effects on the market price of the common stock. Problems
that we could encounter because of insufficient capital include but are not limited to
additional costs and expenses, including higher interest rates and the acceleration of
maturity dates on other debt financing. Some additional costs might be associated with
complying with or defending legal actions by or for creditors, or paying fees, charges or
costs of creditors. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect
the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the
amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may result from the outcome of
this uncertainty.
Product Development and Technological Change
The wireless connectivity industry is characterized by rapid technological change
and is highly competitive with respect to timely product innovation. Our wireless
products are subject to obsolescence or price erosion because competitors are
continuously introducing technologies with the same or greater capacity as our
technology. As a result, wireless products may have a product life of not more than one
to three years.
Our future success depends on our ability to develop new wireless products and
product enhancements to keep up with technological advances and to meet customer needs.
Any failure by us to anticipate or respond adequately to technological developments and
customer requirements, or any significant delays in product development, firmware or
software development, or introduction of wireless technologies could have a material
adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, the
Company could incur additional operating costs with the introduction of new products.
There can be no assurance that we will be successful in planned product development
or marketing efforts, or that we will have adequate financial or technical resources for
planned product development and promotion.
Uncertainty of Market Acceptance or Profitability of New Products
The introduction of new products, such as our recent product introductions for the
wireless marketplace, could require the expenditure of an unknown amount of funds for
research and development, tooling, software development, manufacturing processes,
inventory and marketing. In order to successfully develop products, we will need to
successfully anticipate market needs and may need to overcome rapid technological change
and competition. In order to achieve high volume production, we will need to out-source
production to third parties or enter into licensing arrangements and be successful in the
management of sub-contractors overseas. We are inexperienced in the wireless industry,
and our plans in that industry are unproven. We have limited marketing capabilities and
resources and are dependent upon internal sales and marketing personnel and a network of
independent sales representatives for the marketing and sale of our products. There can
be no assurance that our products will achieve or maintain market acceptance, result in
increased revenues, or be profitable.
Parts Shortages and Over-Supplies and Dependence on Suppliers
The electronics and components industry is characterized by periodic shortages or
over-supplies of parts that have in the past and may in the future negatively affect our
operations. We are dependent on a limited number of suppliers and contractors for
wireless and semiconductor devices used in our products, and we have no long-term supply
contracts with any of them.
Due to the cyclical nature of these industries and competitive conditions, we, or
our sub-contractors, may experience difficulties in meeting our supply requirements in
the future. Any inability to obtain adequate deliveries of parts, either due to the loss
of a supplier or industry-wide shortages, could delay shipments of our products, increase
our cost of goods sold and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and results of operations.
Credit Risks and Dependence on Major Customers
We grant credit to customers in a variety of commercial industries. Credit is
extended based on an evaluation of the customers financial condition and collateral is
not required. Estimated credit losses are provided for in the financial statements. Our
inability to collect receivables from any larger customer could have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
8
Intellectual Property Rights
Our ability to compete effectively is dependent on our proprietary know-how and our
ability to develop and apply technology. We do not have patents for our products in the
wireless area. The wireless industry is characterized by vigorous protection and pursuit
of intellectual property rights. We believe that it may be necessary, from time to time,
to initiate litigation against one or more third parties to preserve our intellectual
property rights. In addition, from time to time, we have received, and
may continue to receive in the future, notices that claim we have infringed upon,
misappropriated or misused other parties proprietary rights, which claims could result
in litigation. Such litigation would likely result in significant expense to us and
divert the efforts of our technical and management personnel. In the event of an adverse
result in such litigation, we could be required to pay substantial damages, cease the
manufacture, use and sale of certain products, expend significant resources to develop
non-infringing technology, and discontinue the use of certain processes or obtain
licenses to use the infringed technology. Such a license may not be available on
commercially reasonable terms, if at all. Our failure to obtain a license or our failure
to obtain a license on commercially reasonable terms could cause us to incur substantial
costs and suspend manufacturing products using the infringed technology. If we obtain a
license, we would likely be required to make royalty payments for sales under the
license. Such payments would increase our costs of revenues and reduce our gross profit.
In addition, any litigation, whether as plaintiff or as defendant, would likely result in
significant expense to us and divert the efforts of our technical and management
personnel, whether or not such litigation is ultimately determined in our favor. In
addition, the results of any litigation are inherently uncertain.
Management of Growth or Diversification
Successful expansion or diversification of the Companys operations will depend on
the ability to obtain new customers, to attract and retain skilled management and other
personnel, to secure adequate sources of supply on commercially reasonable terms and to
successfully manage new product introductions. To manage growth or diversification
effectively, we will have to continue to implement and improve our operational, financial
and management information systems, procedures and controls. As we expand or diversify,
we may from time to time experience constraints that will adversely affect our ability to
satisfy customer demand in a timely fashion. Failure to manage growth or diversification
effectively could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Competition
There are companies that offer or are in the process of developing similar types of
wireless products, including Lantronix, Digi-International and others. We could also
experience competition from established and emerging network companies. There can be no
assurance that our products will be competitive with existing or future products, or that
we will be able to establish or maintain a profitable price structure for our products.
We expect to face competition from existing competitors and new and emerging
companies that may enter our existing or future markets with similar or alternative
products, which may be less costly or provide additional features. In addition, some of
our significant suppliers are also our competitors, many of whom have the ability to
manufacture competitive products at lower costs as a result of their higher levels of
integration. We also face competition from current and prospective customers that
evaluate our capabilities against the merits of manufacturing products internally.
Competition may arise due to the development of cooperative relationships among our
current and potential competitors or third parties to increase the ability of their
products to address the needs of our prospective customers. Accordingly, it is possible
that new competitors or alliances among competitors will emerge and rapidly acquire
significant market share.
We expect our competitors will continue to improve the performance of their current
products, reduce their prices and introduce new products that may offer greater
performance and improved pricing, any of which could cause a decline in sales or loss of
market acceptance of our products. In addition, our competitors may develop enhancements
to or future generations of competitive products that may render our technology or
products obsolete or uncompetitive.
Product Liability
In the course of our business, we may be subject to claims for product liability for
which our insurance coverage is excluded or inadequate.
Variability of Gross Margin
Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 40% for the year ended December 31, 2010
as compared to 41% for the year ended December 31, 2009. In the first quarter of 2009, we
sold our manufacturing capability to one of our contract manufacturers. This resulted in
lower fixed costs but may negatively impact future gross margins due to higher variable
costs. Any change in the gross margins can typically be attributed to the mix of
products, average selling prices, revenue levels, the use of outside contract
manufacturers, and increases to our fixed cost structure. As we market our products, the
product mix may change over time and result in changes in the gross margin.
9
We expect that our net sales and gross margin may vary significantly based on these
and other factors, including the mix of products sold and the manufacturing services
provided, the channels through which our products are sold, changes in product selling
prices and component costs, the level of manufacturing efficiencies achieved and pricing
by competitors. Declines in the selling prices of our products could have a material
adverse effect on our net sales and could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations. Accordingly, our ability to maintain or
increase net sales will be
highly dependent upon our ability to increase unit sales volumes of existing
products and to introduce and sell new products in quantities sufficient to compensate
for any declines in selling prices.
Declining product-selling prices may also materially and adversely affect our gross
margin unless we are able to reduce our cost per unit to offset declines in product
selling prices. There can be no assurance that we will be able to increase unit sales
volumes, introduce and sell new products or reduce our cost per unit. We also expect that
our business may experience significant seasonality to the extent we sell a material
portion of our products in Europe (due to their vacation cycles) and to the extent, our
exposure to the personal computer market remains significant.
Decline of Demand for Product Due to Downturn of Related Industries
We may experience substantial period-to-period fluctuations in operating results due
to factors affecting the wireless, computer, telecommunications and networking
industries. From time to time, each of these industries has experienced downturns, often
in connection with, or in anticipation of, declines in general economic conditions. A
decline or significant shortfall in growth in any one of these industries or a technology
shift, could have a material adverse impact on the demand for our products, and
therefore, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operations. There can be no assurance that our net sales and results of operations will
not be materially and adversely affected in the future due to changes in demand from
individual customers or cyclical changes in the wireless, computer, telecommunications,
networking or other industries utilizing our products.
Our suppliers, contract manufacturers or customers could become competitors
Many of our customers internally design and/or manufacture their own wireless
communications network products. These customers also continuously evaluate whether to
manufacture their own wireless communications network products or utilize contract
manufacturers to produce their own internal designs. Certain of our customers and
prospective customers regularly produce or design wireless communications network
products in an attempt to replace products manufactured by us. We believe that this
practice will continue. In the event that our customers manufacture or design their own
wireless communications network products, such customers could reduce or eliminate their
purchases of our products, which would result in reduced revenues and would adversely
impact our results of operations and liquidity. Wireless infrastructure equipment
manufacturers with internal manufacturing capabilities, including many of our customers,
could also sell wireless communications network products externally to other
manufacturers, thereby competing directly with us. In addition, our suppliers or contract
manufacturers may decide to produce competing products directly for our customers and,
effectively, compete against us. If, for any reason, our customers produce their wireless
communications network products internally, increase the percentage of their internal
production, require us to participate in joint venture manufacturing with them, engage
our suppliers or contract manufacturers to manufacture competing products, or otherwise
compete directly against us, our revenues would decrease, which would adversely impact
our results of operations.
International Sales
International sales may be subject to certain risks, including changes in regulatory
requirements, tariffs and other barriers, timing and availability of export licenses,
political and economic instability, difficulties in accounts receivable collections,
natural disasters, difficulties in staffing and managing foreign subsidiary and branch
operations, difficulties in managing distributors, difficulties in obtaining governmental
approvals for telecommunications and other products, foreign currency exchange
fluctuations, the burden of complying with a wide variety of complex foreign laws and
treaties, potentially adverse tax consequences and uncertainties relative to regional,
political and economic circumstances. Moreover, and as a result of currency changes and
other factors, our competitors may have the ability to manufacture competitive products
in Asia or otherwise at lower cost than we would incur to have them manufactured.
We are also subject to the risks associated with the imposition of legislation and
regulations relating to the import or export of high technology products. We cannot
predict whether the United States or other countries will implement quotas, duties, taxes
or other charges or restrictions upon the importation or exportation of our products.
Because sales of our products have been denominated to date in United States dollars,
increases in the value of the United States dollar could increase the price of our
products so that they become relatively more expensive to customers in the local currency
of a particular country, leading to a reduction in sales and profitability in that
country. Future international activity may result in foreign currency denominated sales.
Gains and losses on the conversion to United States dollars of accounts receivable,
accounts payable and other monetary assets and liabilities arising from international
operations may contribute to fluctuations in our results of operations. Some of our
customers purchase orders and agreements are governed by foreign laws, which may differ
significantly from United States laws. Therefore, we may be limited in our ability to
enforce any rights under such agreements and to collect damages, if awarded. These
factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and
results of operations.
10
Limited Experience in Business Combinations or Acquisitions
We may pursue a strategy of acquiring additional companies or businesses. We may
pursue selective acquisitions to complement our internal growth. We have limited
experience in acquiring other businesses, product lines and technologies. In addition,
the attention of our management team may be diverted from our core business if we
undertake an acquisition. Potential acquisitions also involve numerous risks, including,
among others:
|
|
|
Problems assimilating the purchased operations, technologies or products; |
|
|
|
|
Costs associated with the acquisition; |
|
|
|
|
Adverse effects on existing business relationships with suppliers and customers; |
|
|
|
|
Sudden market changes; |
|
|
|
|
Risks associated with entering markets in which we have no or limited prior experience; |
|
|
|
|
Potential loss of key employees of purchased organizations; and |
|
|
|
|
Potential litigation arising from the acquired companys operations before the acquisition. |
Our inability to overcome problems encountered in connection with such acquisitions
could divert the attention of management, utilize scarce corporate resources and harm our
business. In addition, we are unable to predict whether or when any prospective
acquisition candidate will become available or the likelihood that any acquisition will
be completed.
Cyclical Nature of Wireless and Electronics Industries
The wireless and the electronics industries are highly cyclical and are
characterized by constant and rapid technological change, rapid product obsolescence and
price erosion, evolving standards, short product life cycles and wide fluctuations in
product supply and demand. The industry has experienced significant downturns, often
connected with, or in anticipation of, maturing product cycles of both the producing
companies and their customers products and declines in general economic conditions.
These downturns have been characterized by diminished product demand, production
overcapacity, high inventory levels and accelerated erosion of average selling prices.
Any future downturns could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating
results. Furthermore, any upturn in these industries could result in increased demand
for, and possible shortages of, components we use to manufacture and assemble our
products. Such shortages could have a material adverse effect on our business and
operating results.
Our reliance on contract manufacturers exposes us to risks of excess inventory or
inventory carrying costs
If our contract manufacturers are unable to respond promptly and timely to changes
in customer demand, we may be unable to produce enough products to respond to sudden
increases in demand resulting in lost revenues, or alternatively, in the case of order
cancellations or decreases in demand, we may be liable for excess or obsolete inventory
or cancellation charges resulting from contractual purchase commitments that we have with
our contract manufacturers. We regularly provide rolling forecasts of our requirements to
our contract manufacturers for planning purposes, pursuant to our agreements, a portion
of which is binding upon us. Additionally, we are committed to accept delivery on the
forecasted terms for a portion of the rolling forecast. Cancellations of orders or
changes to the forecasts provided to any of our contract manufacturers may result in
cancellation costs payable by us.
By using contract manufacturers, our ability to directly control the use of all
inventory is reduced because we do not have full operating control over their operations.
If we are unable to accurately forecast demand for our contract manufacturers and manage
the costs associated with our contract manufacturers, we may be required to pay inventory
carrying costs or purchase excess inventory. If we or our contract manufacturers are
unable to utilize such excess inventory in a timely manner, and are unable to sell excess
components or products due to their customized nature, our operating results and
liquidity would be negatively impacted.
11
Product Returns and Order Cancellation
To the extent we have products manufactured in anticipation of future demand and
that does not materialize, or in the event a customer cancels outstanding orders, we
could experience an unanticipated increase in our inventory. In addition, while we may
not be contractually obligated to accept returned products, and have typically not done
so in the past, we may determine that
it is in our best interest to accept returns in order to maintain good relations
with our customers. Product returns would increase our inventory and reduce our revenues.
We have had to write-down inventory in the past for reasons such as obsolescence, excess
quantities and declines in market value below our costs.
We have no long-term volume commitments from our customers that are not subject to
cancellation by the customer. Sales of our products are made through individual purchase
orders and, in certain cases, are made under master agreements governing the terms and
conditions of the relationships. Customers may change, cancel or delay orders with
limited or no penalties. We have experienced cancellations of orders and fluctuations in
order levels from period-to-period and we expect to continue to experience similar
cancellations and fluctuations in the future that could result in fluctuations in our
revenues.
Additional Capital Funding May Impair Value of Investment
We may need to raise additional capital. Our potential means to raise capital
potentially include public or private equity offerings or debt financings. Our future
capital requirements depend on many factors including our research, development, sales
and marketing activities, acquisitions, and other costs. We do not know whether
additional financing will be available when needed, or will be available on terms
favorable to us. To the extent we raise additional capital by issuing equity securities,
our shareholders may experience substantial dilution and the new equity securities may
have greater rights, preferences or privileges than our existing common stock. To the
extent we raise additional capital by issuing debt, our shareholders would incur
additional interest expenses that would reduce earnings and cash flow of the Company.
Also, plans to borrow and repay the debt are subject to numerous risks. In the event the
debt is not repaid as and when due, additional costs and debt would be incurred to
satisfy and refinance the obligation, and the debt therefore could grow. If a companys
debt coverage costs are excessive, its equity can lose value for reasons including a
decline in creditworthiness.
Geographic Concentration of Operation
Our wireless product line is manufactured overseas in Taiwan, with some contract
manufacturing conducted locally. Due to the geographic concentration, a disruption of
their manufacturing operations resulting from sustained process abnormalities, human
error, government intervention or natural disasters such as earthquakes, fires or floods
could cause us to cease using or limit our sub-contractors operations and consequently
harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Compliance with Environmental Laws and Regulations
We are subject to a variety of environmental laws and regulations governing, among
other things, air emissions, waste water discharge, waste storage, treatment and
disposal, and remediation of releases of hazardous materials. Our failure to comply with
present and future requirements could harm our ability to continue manufacturing our
products. Such requirements could require us to acquire costly equipment or to incur
other significant expenses to comply with environmental regulations. The imposition of
additional or more stringent environmental requirements, the results of future testing at
our facilities, or a determination that we are potentially responsible for remediation at
other sites where problems are not presently known to us, could result in expenses in
excess of amounts currently estimated to be required for such matters.
Key Personnel
The Company may fail to attract or retain the qualified technical sales, marketing
and managerial personnel required to operate its business successfully.
DPACs future success depends, in part, upon ability to attract and retain highly
qualified technical, sales, marketing and managerial personnel. Personnel with the
necessary expertise are scarce and competition for personnel with proper skills is
intense. Also, attrition in personnel can result from, among other things, changes
related to acquisitions, as well as retirement or disability. The Company may not be able
to retain existing key technical, sales, marketing and managerial employees or be
successful in attracting, assimilating or retaining other highly qualified technical,
sales, marketing and managerial personnel in the future. If the Company is unable to
retain existing key employees or is unsuccessful in attracting new highly qualified
employees, business, financial condition and our results of operations could be
materially and adversely affected.
12
Stock Price Volatility and Market Overhang
Existing shareholders may suffer with each adverse change in the market price of our
common stock. The market price of our common stock will be affected by a variety of
factors in the future. Most obviously, our shares may suffer adversely if and when our
future operating results are below the expectations of investors. The stock market in
general, and the market for shares of technology companies in particular, experiences
extreme price fluctuations. Our common stock market price is made more volatile because
of the relatively low volume of trading in our common stock. When trading is sporadic,
significant price movement can be caused by a relatively small number of shares.
Another factor that may affect our common stock price will be the number of our
outstanding shares and, at times, the number and prices of warrants that could be
exercised. At December 31, 2010, we have accrued dividends on our Preferred Stock payable
in common shares equating to 32,580,930 common shares and which were issued on March 28,
2011. At December 31, 2010, we have reserved a total of 14,118,000 shares for issuance
upon exercise of outstanding warrants. Holders of our warrants hold registration rights
that are intended to make the warrant shares immediately available for public sale upon
exercise, and warrants may be exercised at any time until their expiration. It is
foreseeable that when a warrant has an intrinsic value, which is usually called being
in-the-money, the holder may desire to exercise the warrant and immediately sell the
stock. If our common stock trades at prices higher than a warrants exercise price, the
shares can be sold at a profit. At such times, sales of large numbers of shares received
upon exercises of warrants might materially and adversely affect the market price of our
common stock.
Other Contingent Contractual Obligations
The Company has not recorded any liability for these indemnities, commitments and
guarantees in the accompanying balance sheets. However, during its normal course of
business, the Company has made certain indemnities, commitments and guarantees under
which it may be required to make payments in relation to certain transactions. These
include indemnities to all directors and officers pertaining to claims on account of
acting as a director or officer. In the event that the Company has, or is claimed to
have, any indemnification obligation related to current or former directors or officers,
the costs and expenses could be material to the Company and the amount of cost and
expense of such an obligation would not necessarily be limited whatsoever. Other
indemnities are made to various lessors in connection with facility leases for certain
claims arising from such facility or lease; other indemnities are made to vendors and
service providers pertaining to claims based on the negligence or willful misconduct of
the Company; and other indemnities involve the accuracy of representations and warranties
in certain contracts and are made in favor of the other contractual party. The duration
of these indemnities, commitments and guarantees varies and, in certain cases, may be
indefinite. The majority of these indemnities, commitments and guarantees do not provide
for any limitation of the maximum potential for future payments the Company could be
obligated to make. The Company may also issue a guarantee in the form of a standby letter
of credit as security for contingent liabilities under certain customer contracts, which
would customarily be for a limited amount. Product warranty costs are not significant.

ITEM 7: |

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATION. |
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of
operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes to those
statements included elsewhere in this Report. This discussion contains certain
forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements of
our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Our actual results could differ
materially from those discussed here. The cautionary statements made in this Report
should be read as being applicable to all forward-looking statements wherever they
appear. Numerous important factors, risks and uncertainties affect our operations and
could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these
or any other forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf. Factors that could
cause or contribute to such differences include those discussed in Risk Factors, as
well as those discussed elsewhere herein. We undertake no obligation to publicly release
the result of any revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be required to
reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of
unanticipated events.
Period-to-period comparisons of our financial results are not necessarily meaningful
and should not be relied upon as indications of future performance. It is likely that
from time to time our operating results will be below the expectations of some investors
and not above the expectations of enough investors. In such events, the market price of
our Common Stock would be adversely affected, in some proportion, and perhaps
disproportionately. We ourselves have difficulties forecasting, and there are
numerous risks and uncertainties concerning, the timing of our customers initiating
their production orders and the amounts of such orders, fluctuating market demand for and
declines in the selling prices of similar products, decreases or increases in the costs
of the components, uncertain market acceptance, our competitors, delays, or other
problems with new products, software, manufacturing, inefficiencies, cost overruns, fixed
overhead costs, competition from new wireless products using 802.11 with newer
technology, and challenges managing production from overseas suppliers, among other
factors, each of which will make it more difficult for us to meet expectations.
14
Successful implementation of the Airborne wireless products and new product lines
will require, among other things, best-in-class designs, exceptional customer service and
patience. Also timing of revenue may be affected by the length of time it may take our
customers in designing our Airborne product into their product lines and introducing
their products. In addition, our revenues are ultimately limited by the success of our
customers products in relation to their competition.
Fluctuations in Operating Results
The primary factors that may in the future create material fluctuations in our
results of operations include the following: timing and amount of shipments, changes in
the mix of products sold, any inability to procure required components, whether new
customer orders are for immediate or deferred delivery, the sizes and timing of
investments in new technologies or product lines, a partial or complete loss of any
principal customer, any addition of a significant new customer, a reduction in orders or
delays in orders from a customer, excess product inventory accumulation by a customer,
and other factors.
The need for continued significant operating expenditures for research and
development, software and firmware enhancements, ongoing customer service and support,
and administration, among other factors, will make it difficult for us to reduce our
operating expenses in any particular period, even if our expectations for net sales for
that period are not met. Therefore, our fixed overhead may negatively impact our
operating results.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
We prepare our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. As such, we are required to make
certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that we believe to be reasonable based upon
the information available. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts
of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. In order to aid you in fully
understanding and evaluating our reported financial results, the significant accounting
policies which we believe to be the most subjective and critical include the following:
Revenue Recognition
The majority of our revenue is derived from the sales of products. We recognize
product revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred,
the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is probable and there are no
post-delivery obligations other than warranty. Revenue is recognized from the sale of
products at the point of passage of title, which is at the time of shipment to customers,
including OEMs, distributors and other strategic end user customers. Revenue recognition
is deferred in all instances when the earnings process is incomplete, such as sales to
certain customers that may have certain rights of return and price protection provisions.
Revenue on sales to distributors where a right of return exists is recognized upon
sell-through, when products are shipped from the distributor to the distributors
customer. Revenue related to those products in our distribution channel at the end of
each reporting period which has not sold-through is deferred. Quatech also offers
marketing incentives to certain customers. These incentives are incurred based on the
level of expenses the customers incur and are charged to operations as expenses in the
same period.
Accounts Receivable
We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the
inability of our customers to make required payments. The amount of our reserves is based
on historical experience and our analysis of the accounts receivable balances
outstanding. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting
in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required
which would result in an additional general and administrative expense in the period such
determination was made. While such credit losses have historically been within our
expectations and the provisions established, we cannot guarantee that we will continue to
experience the same credit loss rates that we have in the past, which could adversely
affect our operating results.
Inventories
We value our inventory at the lower of the actual cost to purchase and/or
manufacture or the current estimated market value of the inventory. We regularly review
inventory quantities on hand and record a provision for excess and obsolete inventory
based primarily on our estimated forecast of product demand and production requirements
for the next twelve months. We additionally consider additional facts and circumstances
in order to determine whether any condition exists that would confirm or
deny the need for recording a write-down. A significant increase in the demand for
our products could result in a short-term increase in the cost of inventory purchases
while a significant decrease in demand could result in an increase in the amount of
excess inventory quantities on hand. Additionally, our estimates of future product demand
may prove to be inaccurate, in which case we may have understated or overstated the
provision required for excess and obsolete inventory. In the future, if our inventory is
determined to be overvalued, we would be required to recognize such costs in our cost of
goods sold at the time of such determination. Likewise, if our inventory is determined to
be undervalued, we may have over-reported our costs of goods sold in previous periods and
would be required to recognize such additional operating income at the time of sale of
the related inventory. Therefore, although we make every effort to ensure the accuracy of
our forecasts of future product demand, any significant unanticipated changes in demand
or technological developments could have a significant impact on the value of our
inventory and our reported operating results.
15
Property, Plant and Equipment
The Company periodically reviews the recoverability of its long-lived assets. The
Company also reviews these assets for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
Recoverability of these assets is determined by comparing the forecasted undiscounted
future net cash flows from the operations to which the assets relate, based on
managements best estimates using appropriate assumptions and projections at the time, to
the carrying amount of the assets. If the carrying value is determined not to be
recoverable from future operating cash flows, the asset is deemed impaired and an
impairment loss is recognized equal to the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds
the estimated fair value of the asset.
Capitalized Developed Software
Certain software development costs are capitalized after a product becomes
technologically feasible and before its general release to customers. Significant
judgment is required in determining when a product becomes technologically feasible.
Capitalized development costs are then amortized over the products estimated life
beginning upon general release of the product. Periodically, we compare a products
unamortized capitalized cost to the products net realizable value. To the extent
unamortized capitalized cost exceeds net realizable value based on the products
estimated future gross revenues (reduced by the estimated future costs of completing and
selling the product) the excess is written off. This analysis requires us to estimate
future gross revenues associated with certain products and the future costs of completing
and selling certain products. Changes in these estimates could result in write-offs of
capitalized software costs.
Goodwill and Indefinite Lived Intangibles
We review the recoverability of the carrying value of goodwill and intangibles on an
annual basis at December 31st or more frequently when an event occurs or
circumstances change to indicate that an impairment of goodwill or intangibles has
possibly occurred. Since we operate in a single business segment as a single business
unit, the determination of whether any potential impairment of goodwill exists is based
on a comparison of the fair value of the entire Company to its carrying value. In
estimating the fair value of the entire Company, the Market Approach and Income Approach
are the methodologies deemed the most reliable and are the primary methods used for our
impairment analysis, with the income approach weighted 60% and the market approached
weighted 40%. The valuation analysis is dependent upon a number of various factors
including estimates of forecasted revenues and costs, appropriate discount rates and
other variables. The first step of the goodwill impairment test consists of comparing the
carrying value of the reporting unit to its fair value. If the fair value of the entire
Company is determined to be less than the carrying value of the Company, we would be
required to take the second step of the goodwill impairment test to measure the amount of
impairment loss, if any, and to record such impairment loss for our goodwill. Based on
our impairment testing as of December 31, 2010, the fair value of our single reporting
unit exceeded its carrying value by approximately $995,000, which management believes to
be substantial and not indicative of potential impairment. As the total of the companys
fair value exceeded the carrying value of net assets, it passed the first step of the
impairment test and, accordingly, the second step was not required to be performed.
Recording an impairment charge for goodwill could have a material adverse impact on our
operating results for the period in which such charge was recorded.
Deferred Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences
between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured
using enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected
to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets when it
is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized. During the years ended
December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company recorded a full valuation allowance associated
with its net deferred tax assets.
The Company records an estimated income tax liability to recognize the amount of
income taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred income tax
liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been
recognized in our financial statements or income tax returns. Judgment is required in
estimating the future income tax consequences of
events that have been recognized in the Companys financial statements or the income
tax returns. The Company estimates and provides an allowance for deferred tax assets
based on estimated realization of the asset utilizing information related to historical
taxable income and projected taxable income.
16
Included in total deferred tax assets, the Company has an income tax carryforward
for federal net operating losses. The cumulative federal net operating loss carryforward
of approximately $12,308,000 expires through 2030; however, as a result of the merger
between Quatech, Inc. and DPAC Technologies Corp, a substantial portion of DPACs federal
net operating loss carryforward is subject to the provisions of Sec. 382 of the Internal
Revenue Code (IRC), and therefore, is not available for immediate benefit to the company.
The realization of the Companys deferred tax assets, including this federal net
operating loss, and the related valuation allowance are significant estimates requiring
assumptions regarding the sufficiency of future taxable income to realize the future tax
deduction from the reversal of deferred tax assets and the net operating loss prior to
their expiration. The valuation allowance has been provided based upon the Companys
assessment of future realizability of certain deferred tax assets, as it is more likely
than not that sufficient taxable income will not be generated to realize these temporary
differences. The net increase in the valuation allowance was $252,201 for 2010 and
$419,790 for 2009. The amount of the corresponding valuation allowance could change
significantly in the near term if estimates of future taxable income are changed.
The Company adheres to the provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes. ASC 740 prescribes
a recognition threshold that a tax position is required to meet before being recognized
in the financial statements, and provides guidance on derecognition, measurement,
classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and
transition issues. It is the Companys practice to recognize penalties and/or interest
related to income tax matters in interest and penalties expense.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In January 2009, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Release No.
33-9002, Interactive Data to Improve Financial Reporting. The final rule requires
companies to provide their financial statements and financial statement schedules to the
SEC and on their corporate websites in interactive data format using the eXtensible
Business Reporting Language (XBRL). The rule was adopted by the SEC to improve the
ability of financial statement users to access and analyze financial data. The SEC
adopted a phase-in schedule indicating when registrants must furnish interactive data.
Under this schedule, the Company will be required to submit filings with financial
statement information using XBRL commencing with its June 30, 2011 quarterly report on
Form 10-Q. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of XBRL reporting on its
financial reporting process.
In October 2009, the FASB amended revenue recognition guidance for arrangements with
multiple deliverables. The guidance eliminates the residual method of revenue recognition
and allows the use of managements best estimate of selling price for individual elements
of an arrangement when vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE), vendor objective
evidence (VOE) or third-party evidence (TPE) is unavailable. This guidance should be
applied on a prospective basis for revenue arrangements entered into or materially
modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with early adoption
permitted. Full retrospective application of the guidance is optional. The Company does
not expect the impact of adopting this guidance to have a material effect on its
financial statements.
In April 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-13 (ASU 2010-13),
CompensationStock Compensation (Topic 718). ASU 2010-13 provides amendments to ASC
Topic 718 to clarify that an employee share-based payment award with an exercise price
denominated in the currency of a market in which a substantial portion of the entitys
equity securities trades should not be considered to contain a condition that is not a
market, performance, or service condition. Therefore, an entity would not classify such
an award as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as equity. The amendments in ASU
2010-13 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years,
beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The provisions of ASU 2010-13 are not expected
to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows
of the Company.
In December 2010, the FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update 2010-28(ASU
2010-28), IntangiblesGoodwill and Other (Topic 350). ASU 2010-28 amends ASC Topic
350. ASU 2010-28 clarifies the requirement to test for impairment of goodwill. ASC
Topic 350 requires that goodwill be tested for impairment if the carrying amount of a
reporting unit exceeds its fair value. Under ASU 2010-28, when the carrying amount of a
reporting unit is zero or negative an entity must assume that it is more likely than not
that a goodwill impairment exists, perform an additional test to determine whether
goodwill has been impaired and calculate the amount of that impairment. The
modifications to ASC Topic 350 resulting from the issuance of ASU 2010-28 are effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and interim periods within those
years. Early adoption is not permitted. The provisions of ASU 2010-28 are not expected
to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows
of the Company.

Net Sales
Net sales for the year ended December 31, 2010 of $7,847,000 increased by $1,040,000
or 15% compared to net sales for the year ended December 31, 2009. Net sales related to
the Companys Device Connectivity products increased $19,000 or 1%, and net sales related
to the Companys Device Networking products, including the Airborne wireless product
line, increased by $1,021,000, or 36% from the prior year. The increase in revenues for
the Device Networking product line is the result of improved product shipments to end
customers by our OEM customers and increased penetration into new applications for our
products.
Gross Profit
Gross profit increased by $354,000 or 13% to $3,153,000 in 2010 from $2,799,000 in
2009 due to the increase in net sales. Gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased to
40% for 2010 from 41% in 2009. The decrease in gross profit percentage is due to the
write-down of inventory of $166,000 in the current year partially offset by fixed
operating expenses being spread over a higher revenue base resulting in fixed expenses
representing a smaller percentage of cost of goods sold.
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expenses of $783,000 decreased by $42,000 or by 5% as compared
to 2009. The decrease is due primarily to a decrease in salaries and related expenses of
$71,000, offset by an increase in representative commissions of $19,000 and advertising
Internet search engine costs of $10,000.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses of $733,000 for 2010 decreased by $42,000, or 5%,
as compared to 2009. The decrease is due to a decrease in personnel and consulting costs
incurred, including benefits and travel related costs, of $73,000. These reductions were
partially offset by software developments costs incurred of $29,000 being capitalized in
2009 and no costs being capitalized in 2010. The Company will continue to invest in
research and development to expand and develop new wireless products. See
Forward-Looking Statements.
General and Administrative Expense
General and administrative expenses incurred for 2010 of $1,111,000 decreased by
$136,000 or 11% from the prior year. The decrease was due primarily to decreases in
salaries and benefits of $39,000, non-cash compensation expense related to stock options
of $51,000, business and Directors and Officers insurance premiums of $35,000 and
depreciation expense of $18,000. These reductions were partly off-set by small increases
in other expense items.
Amortization Expense
Amortization expense of $538,000 for 2010 is comprised of the amortization of
purchased intangible assets acquired in the Merger on February 28, 2006 being amortized
over 5 years of $490,000, amortization of internally developed software being capitalized
over 5 years of $38,000, and amortization of the customer list acquired in the
SocketSerial acquisition of $10,000.
Interest Expense
The Company incurred interest and financing costs of $641,000 in 2010 as compared to
$580,000 incurred in 2009. The following non-cash charges are included in interest
expense during 2010: accretion of participation and success fees of $35,000, amortization
of deferred financing costs of $47,000, and amortization of the discount for warrants of
$13,000. The following non-cash charges are included in interest expense during 2009:
accretion of participation fees of $46,000, amortization of deferred financing costs of
$50,000, and amortization of the discount for warrants of $13,000.
Fair Value Adjustment of Put Warrant Liability.
For 2010, the Company recorded a net charge to earnings of $10,600 related to the
adjustment of the liability for the put warrant compared to a net gain of $15,800 for
2009. The Company is required to adjust the put warrant liability to its fair value
through earnings at the end of each reporting period. At December 31, 2010, based on the
Companys common stock average share price of $0.017, the Company calculated the fair
value of the put warrants to be $110,900. The actual settlement amount of the put warrant
liability could differ materially from the value determined based on the Companys stock
price.
Income Taxes
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the differences
between the financial statement carrying values and the tax bases of assets and
liabilities. A full valuation allowance was recorded against the Companys related
deferred tax assets for 2010 and 2009. The Company recorded no income tax provision for
2010 or 2009.
19
DPAC regularly reviews its deferred tax assets for recoverability and establishes a
valuation allowance based on historical taxable income, projected future taxable income,
and the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences. To the extent
that recovery is not believed to be more likely than not, a valuation allowance is
established. Recent net operating losses represent sufficiently negative evidence to
require a continued valuation allowance against the net deferred tax assets. This
valuation allowance will be evaluated periodically and could be reversed partially or
totally if business results have sufficiently improved to support realization of our
deferred tax assets.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company incurred a net loss of $665,000 for 2010 and ended the year with a cash
balance of $48,000 and a deficit in working capital of $1.4 million. The Company incurred
a net loss of $1.1 Million for 2009 and ended the year with a cash balance of $18,000 and
a deficit in working capital of $1.3 million.
Although the Company has reported net losses in recent periods, a significant
portion of our operating expenses are non-cash. For the year ended December 31, 2010,
non-cash operating expenses included depreciation and amortization of $684,000,
write-down of inventory of $166,000, non-cash compensation for stock options of $68,000,
and non-cash interest expense of $95,000. During 2009, non-cash operating expenses
included depreciation and amortization of $595,000, write-down of inventory of $48,000,
non-cash compensation for stock options of $119,000, and non-cash interest expense of
$108,000.
In the third quarter of 2008, the Company took actions to reduce its cash operating
expenses to align its cost structure with the then current economic conditions and a
downturn in the Companys revenue levels. These reductions resulted in annualized
operating cost savings of approximately $600,000. Additionally, during the first quarter
of 2009, the Company consummated an agreement with one of its contract manufacturers and
sold certain equipment and inventory, sublet a portion of its facility to the
manufacturer, and will further engage the manufacturer to produce more of the Companys
products. This transaction provided $150,000 in cash.
In the third quarter of 2009, the Company implemented additional cost reduction
measures by reducing headcount by 3 individuals and implementing a salary reduction
program for all employees of 10%. These measures are expected to result in annual
operating costs reductions of approximately $400,000.
On September 30, 2009, the Company acquired the SocketSerial product line in a
non-cash transaction for the Company. Management believes that margins generated from
future revenues of this product line will help enable the Company to achieve a cash flow
break even from operations.
Net cash provided by operating activities for 2010 was $122,000 as compared to net
cash used of $4,000 for 2009. The net loss of $665,000 incurred in 2010 was offset by
non-cash items, including depreciation and amortization, provision for excess inventory,
non-cash compensation expense, accretion of success fees and amortization of deferred
financing costs, totaling $1.0 million. Cash was used to pay down accounts payable by
$386,000, and fund increases in accounts receivable of $31,000. A decrease in inventories
of $13,000 and in prepaid expenses of $39,000, and an increase in other accrued
liabilities of $132,000 contributed to cash.
Net cash used in investing activities in 2010 of $70,000 was for the property
acquisitions. Net cash provided by investing activities of $124,000 for 2009 consisted of
cash received from the sale of assets of $190,000 and partially offset by property
additions of $37,000 and capitalized developed software of $29,000.
Net cash used in financing activities for 2010 was $22,000 as compared to $112,000
used during 2009. Cash used in the current year consisted of principal repayments on the
Ohio Development loan of $31,000, principal repayments on subordinated debt of $35,000,
payment of preferred stock dividends of $18,000 and financing costs incurred of $13,000,
partially offset by net borrowings under our revolving credit facility of $75,000. Cash
used in 2009 consisted of principal repayments on the Ohio Development loan of $104,000,
principal repayments on subordinated debt of $20,000, and financing costs incurred of
$20,000, partially offset by proceeds from the issuance of preferred stock of $35,000.
The Company operates at leased premises in Hudson, Ohio which are adequate for the
Companys needs for the near term.
The Company does not expect acquiring more than $100,000 in capital equipment during
fiscal year 2011.
As discussed in the financial footnotes to the Financial Statements and
Supplementary Data, the Company has in place a senior revolving credit facility with
Fifth Third Bank, a Loan Agreement with the State of Ohio and a subordinated note with
Canal Mezzanine Partners (each of the State of Ohio loan and the subordinated note with
Canal are subordinated to the interests of Fifth Third Bank). In March of 2011, the
Company entered into a Fourth Amendment to Credit Agreement extending the maturity date
of its Bank revolving credit facility to May 31, 2011.
20
As of December 31, 2010, we were not in compliance with certain of our bank
financial covenants, which included purchasing assets in excess of $100,000.00 from
Socket Mobile, Inc. through the assistance of Development Capital Venture, L.P. without
the express written consent of the bank. These defaults were waived by Fifth Third Bank
by agreement (entered into in March, 2011), but any other events of default were not
waived. Each of the loan agreements with Canal Mezzanine Partners and the State of Ohio
provide for cross-default of such loans in the event the Company defaults on a material
agreement (such as the Bank credit facility) under certain terms. Further, each of the
loan agreements provide for restrictive covenants, including the incurrence of additional
indebtedness and certain equity financings, which restrict the Companys ability to
access other sources of liquidity, absent refinancing all of the existing indebtedness.
The Company is currently talking to a number of other potential lenders with the intent
of replacing the bank line of credit with a new facility; however, we have not at this
time received a commitment from another source that could replace the Bank line in its
entirety. The Bank line currently is set to
mature in May, 2011. Additionally, the Canal Mezzanine and State of Ohio loan
agreements contain provisions that accelerate the maturity and repayment of outstanding
borrowings upon the acceleration of the Bank debt.
At
December 31, 2010, the Company was not in compliance with
certain financial covenants associated with the Canal Mezzanine debt;
however, subsequent to year end, the covenant was modified such
allowing the Company to be in compliance. The Company expects to be able to
remain in compliance with the modified covenant at least through the remainder of 2011.
The report of the independent registered public accounting firm included an
explanatory paragraph regarding certain conditions that raise substantial doubt about our
ability to continue as a going concern. These conditions include the inherent uncertainty
in refinancing our bank line of credit, which matures on May 31, 2011 as well as
continuing operating losses and deficits in our working capital balances. Our ability to
continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to maintain positive cash flows
from operations and to refinance or extend our line of credit. We believe that the steps
we have taken, including the acquisition of a product line and the reduction of our
operating expenses as described above will enable us to achieve positive cash flows from
operations. Additionally, the Company experienced an increase in the rate of new orders
during 2010, resulting in a 15% increase in net sales for 2010 compared to 2009, and a
23% increase in the size of its backlog of firm orders from $540,000 at December 31, 2009
to $664,000 at December 31, 2010. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in
achieving any of these steps, and there can be no assurance that additional financing
will be available on acceptable terms, if at all, and any such terms may be dilutive to
existing stockholders. Our inability to secure and maintain the necessary liquidity will
have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. If
we are unable to secure the necessary capital for our business, we may need to suspend
some or all of our current operations. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and
classification of assets or the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that
may result from the outcome of this uncertainty. If we continue to achieve revenue growth
and maintain positive cash flows from operations, we anticipate requirements for cash
will include funding of higher receivable and inventory balances.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Our off-balance sheet arrangements consist primarily of conventional operating
leases, purchase commitments and other commitments arising in the normal course of
business, as further discussed below under Contractual Obligations and Commercial
Commitments. As of December 31, 2010, we did not have any other relationships with
unconsolidated entities or financial partners, such as entities often referred to as
structured finance, special purpose entities or variable interest entities, which would
have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or
other contractually narrow or limited purposes.
Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments
We incur various contractual obligations and commercial commitments in our normal
course of business. Such obligations and commitments consist primarily of the following:
Debt Payment Obligations
The Company has a significant amount of borrowings and has the following amounts of
aggregate long term debt repayments maturing as of December 31st in future years of $320,000 in
2011, $125,000 in 2012, and $3,039,000 in 2013.
Operating Lease Obligations
As of December 31, 2010, we have operating leases for our facilities with future
minimum payments of $520,000 extending through March 31, 2014.
Purchase Commitments with Contract Manufacturers
We generally issue purchase orders to our contract manufacturers with delivery dates
from four to sixteen weeks from the purchase order date. In addition, we regularly
provide such contract manufacturers with rolling six-month forecasts of material and
finished goods requirements for planning and long-lead time parts procurement purposes
only. We are committed to accept delivery of materials pursuant to our purchase orders
subject to various contract provisions which allow us to delay receipt of such orders or
cancel orders beyond certain agreed lead times. Such cancellations may or may not result
in cancellation costs payable by us. In the past, we have been required to take delivery
of materials from our suppliers that were in excess of our requirements and we have
previously recognized charges and expenses related to such excess material. If we are
unable to adequately manage our contract manufacturers and adjust such commitments for
changes in demand, we may incur additional inventory expenses related to excess and
obsolete inventory. Such expenses could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations.
21
Other Purchase Commitments
We also incur various purchase obligations with other vendors and suppliers for the
purchase of inventory, as well as other goods and services, in the normal course of
business. These obligations are generally evidenced by purchase orders with delivery
dates from four to six weeks from the purchase order date, and in certain cases, supply
agreements that contain the terms and
conditions associated with these purchase arrangements. We are committed to accept
delivery of such materials pursuant to such purchase orders subject to various contract
provisions which allow us to delay receipt of such orders or cancel orders beyond certain
agreed lead times. Such cancellations may or may not result in cancellation costs payable
by us. In the past, we have been required to take delivery of materials from our
suppliers that were in excess of our requirements and we have previously recognized
charges and expenses related to such excess material. If we are not able to adequately
manage our supply chain and adjust such commitments for changes in demand, we may incur
additional inventory expenses related to excess and obsolete inventory. Such expenses
could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operations.
Inflation
Management believes that inflation has not had a significant impact on the price of
our products, the cost of our materials, or our operating results for either of the two
years ended December 31, 2010.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the
effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules
13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the fiscal year ending December 31,
2010 covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our disclosure controls and procedures
are intended to ensure that the information we are required to disclose in the reports
that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities
and Exchange Commissions rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our
management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as the
principal executive and financial officers, respectively, to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosures. Based upon such evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the
Companys disclosure controls and procedures were effective as required under Rules
13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act.
Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control
over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange
Act) of the Company. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to
provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
22
The Companys internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and
procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail,
accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the
company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to
permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures of
the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and
directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or
timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Companys assets
that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may
not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness
to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of
changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures
may deteriorate.
Management, under the supervision of the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over
financial reporting based on the framework in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on
this evaluation, management concluded that the Companys internal control over financial
reporting was effective as of December 31, 2010 under the criteria set forth in the
Internal ControlIntegrated Framework.
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will
prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and
operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the
control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact
that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered
relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no
evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and
instances of fraud, if any, within DPAC have been detected.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Companys
registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.
Managements report was not subject to attestation by the Companys registered public
accounting firm pursuant to the permanent deferral by the Securities and Exchange
Commission that permit the Company to provide only managements report in this annual
report.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
No change in the Companys internal control over financial reporting occurred during
the quarter ended December 31, 2010, that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.

Position with Company (in addition to Director) and Principal Occupations during the Past
Five Years
Samuel W. Tishler, Chairman of our Board of Directors, is an independent consultant,
retired in 2003 as vice president for Corporate Development for Acterna Corporation, a
manufacturer of telecommunications test equipment, and is an experienced strategic
planning and venture investment professional. He was a vice president of Arthur D. Little
Enterprises, Inc. from 1977 to 1986 and a founder of Arthur D. Little Ventures. He also
was a vice president of Raytheon Ventures from 1987 to 1994, and in that capacity was
responsible for its venture capital portfolio. Mr. Tishler has also served on many of the
Boards of venture-backed companies, including Viewlogic Systems and Kloss Video
Corporation.
Mr. Tishlers broad strategic planning background includes the early development of
technology concepts from planning to development and execution. This strategic background
and experience with smaller companies allow him to provide significant leadership to the
Board of Directors and the Company, as a smaller reporting company.
Steven D. Runkel is our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and President, and has served
in that role since February, 2006. From July, 2000 until February, 2006 he was Quatech,
Inc.s CEO and President. Quatech, Inc. and DPAC merged in February of 2006. From May of
1999 until July 2000, he was a Sr. Practice Director for Oracle Corporation with a focus
on Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system implementations. From April 1995 to
April 1999 he served in a number of executive management positions for Innovative Systems
Inc., a CRM software and services company. These positions included President and Chief
Operating Officer from June 1997 to April 1999. Prior to joining Innovative Systems, Mr.
Runkel held leadership positions at Formtek, Inc. and Harris Corporation. Mr. Runkel has
a BS from Pennsylvania State University.
The company believes that Mr. Runkels background in customer relationship
management is critical to DPACs core business strategy of service and support to its
customers.
Dennis R. Leibel has served as a Director of the Company since February 2006 and
chairs the Audit Committee. Mr. Leibel is a private investor and a retired financial and
legal executive. Mr. Leibel also serves on the Board of Directors of Microsemi
Corporation, where he is Chairman, and was formerly a member of the Board of Directors of
Commerce Energy Group, Inc. until 2008. Mr. Leibel holds a B.S. degree in accounting, a
Juris Doctor degree and an L.L.M. degree.
Mr. Leibels experience both in financial matters and as a practicing attorney are
significant benefits to DPAC as a smaller reporting company.
William Roberts is a 30 year veteran in retailing. He currently is Chairman, Belk
Northern Division, a division of Belk Inc. Belk is a $4 billion private retail chain
based out of Charlotte, NC. Prior to Belk, Mr. Roberts held various merchandising
positions with May Department Stores and Macys.
Mr. Roberts experience in the retailing and merchandising fields benefit the company
insofar as its core business (as described above) primarily relates to establishing
strong relationships with its customers.
Mark Chapman is CEO of EDX wireless LLC, a privately held developer of wireless
network planning software. Previously, he was Senior Vice President and General Manager
at Comarco Inc (NASDAQ: CMRO), and President of Ascom Inc, a division of Ascom
(ASCN.SW), a Swiss provider of wireless network test equipment which acquired Comarcos
WTS division in Jan 2009. Prior roles included acting Vice President of Business
Development for WiSpry, a venture funded fabless semiconductor company targeting
broadband and wireless communications, as well as various consulting assignments. From
2001 to 2003, Mr. Chapman served as President and CEO of Ditrans Corp, a developer of
Digital Transceiver products. Mr. Chapmans prior experience also includes various
management, sales and marketing positions at Rockwell Semiconductor (now Conexant) where
he had responsibility for various modem products and later wireless data products. Mr.
Chapman received a BSEE with first class honors from Robert Gordons University,
Aberdeen, Scotland.
Mr. Chapmans technical background and wide ranging experience in industries similar
to DPACs represent knowledge, skills and experience that are highly beneficial to the
company.
James Bole is President and CEO of Almaden Systems LLC, a private information
technology consultancy. Prior to founding Almaden Systems, Jim served as Vice President
of Products and Services at RNA Networks, and previous to that Vice President of SOA
Solutions at Software AG, a German global enterprise software company. Mr. Bole has more
than 25 years of entrepreneurial software development and technical management experience
in both startups and Fortune 100 companies. From 2001 to September 2006, Mr. Bole was
Vice President of Products and Professional Services at Infravio, a venture
capital-backed software startup acquired by Software AG/webMethods. Prior to joining
Infravio, Mr. Bole held executive positions at Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT), Formtek
(acquired by Lockheed Martin), and WorkExchange Technologies. Mr. Bole holds a BS in
Applied Mathematics/Computer Science from Carnegie Mellon University.
Mr. Boles technical background and management experience, both with large
enterprises and smaller companies, are highly valuable to the company as a smaller
reporting company.

Executive Officers
The following information is provided with respect to DPACs current executive
officers. Information for Mr. Steven D. Runkel is provided under the heading Directors
above.

Mr. Vukadinovich has served as Chief Financial Officer of DPAC since 2004, having previously served as Controller to DPAC since May of 2000. |
Board of Director Meetings and Committees
During the year ended December 31, 2010, the board of Directors held 4 meetings. All
members of the Board of directors hold office until the next Annual Meeting of
Stockholders or the election and qualification of their successors. Executive officers
serve at the discretion of the Board of Directors.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, each Board of Directors member attended at
least 75% of the meetings of the board of Directors and at least 75% of the meetings of
the committees on which he served.
We currently have two committees of our Board of Directors: the Audit Committee and
the Compensation Committee.
The Audit Committee meets periodically with the companys management and independent
registered public accounting firm to, among other things, review the results of the
annual audit and quarterly reviews and discuss the financial statements. The audit
committee also hires the independent registered public accounting firm, and receives and
considers the accountants comments as to controls, adequacy of staff and management
performance and procedures. As of the end of 2010 the Audit Committee was composed of Mr.
Leibel, Mr. Tishler and Mr. Chapman, all of whom are independent directors. Mr. Leibel is
the Chairman of the Audit Committee, and also serves as our audit committee financial
expert, as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K. The Audit Committee operates
under a formal charter that governs its duties and conduct.
The compensation committee determines the salaries and incentive compensation of our
officers and provides recommendations for the salaries and incentive compensation of our
other employees. There are currently two members of the Compensation Committee, Mr.
Roberts and Mr. Bole. The compensation committee does not operate under a charter.
The Board of Directors does not maintain a standing nominating committee. The board
believes that given its small relative size and familiarity with the company, the costs
associated with maintaining such an additional committee are outweighed and that the
board and the company would not benefit materially by expending board time and resources
with such a formal process. The Board does not have a specific policy as to diversity of
the Board. However, with respect to diversity in its deliberations, the Board considers
the extent to which potential candidates possess sufficiently beneficial skill sets and
characteristics that would contribute to the Boards overall effectiveness.
Board Leadership Structure. Mr. Tishler serves as our Chairman of the Board of
Directors. Mr. Runkel has served as our CEO since the acquisition of Quatech by the
company in 2006. The Board believes that the company benefits from having a non-employee
chairperson, which affords management greater time resources with which to focus on the
core business of the company. The Board does not currently have a designated lead
independent director. The Board believes that the appointment of a designated lead
independent director is not necessary at this time because of the Companys small size
and because the independent directors play an active role in Board matters.
Board Role in Risk Oversight. The Board administers its risk oversight function
directly and through the Audit Committee. The Board and the Audit Committee regularly
discuss with management the Companys major risk exposures, their potential financial
impact on the Company, and the steps taken to monitor and control those risks.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our
officers and directors and those persons who beneficially own more than 10% of our
outstanding shares of common stock to file reports of securities ownership and changes in
such ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Officers, directors and
greater than 10% beneficial owners are also required by rules promulgated by the SEC to
furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.
Based solely upon a review of the copies of such forms furnished to us, we believe
that during 2010 all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to our officers,
directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners were complied with.

Mr. Runkels compensation is included in the Executive Compensation summary table. Mr.
Runkel does not receive any compensation related to being a director of the Company. |
|
(2) |
|
The Company recognized no expense in its consolidated financial statements related to
compensation for directors. |
Prior to 2009, the Company paid its non-employee directors a cash retainer of
$2,000 per quarter. The Chair of the Audit Committee and the Chair of the Compensation
Committee were each paid an additional $1,000 and $500 per quarter, respectively. In
addition to such retainers, non-employee directors received fees of $1,500 for each Board
meeting attended. In addition, non-employee directors received fees of $500 for each
Audit Committee or Compensation Committee meeting attended. The Board members are
reimbursed their out-of-pocket expenses for attending Board and committee meetings. For
2009 and 2010, the Directors agreed to forgo all cash payments. The Compensation
Committee is currently taking under consideration future Director compensation.
Each non-employee director is entitled to be granted annually an option to purchase
up to 50,000 shares of the Companys Common Stock at the fair market value of such shares
at the time of such grant. Such option grants have a 10 year life and are immediately
exercisable and fully vested at the time of grant. No stock option grants were issued to
directors during the 2010 year. On January 10, 2011, the Company issued to its
non-employee directors option grants to purchase 200,000 common shares. This included the
annual 50,000 share grants plus additional shares in lieu of cash compensation. All
options granted had an exercise price of $0.018 per share, the closing stock price on the
day of the grant.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors
DPAC Technologies Corp.
Hudson, Ohio
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of DPAC Technologies Corp. and
subsidiary as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, stockholders equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. The Company has determined that it is not required to have, nor were we engaged to
perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included
consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, 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 DPAC Technologies Corp. and
subsidiary as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the consolidated results of its operations and
its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will
continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, certain
conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Managements
plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 1. The accompanying financial statements
do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations
DPAC Technologies Corp., (DPAC) through its wholly owned subsidiary, Quatech Inc., (Quatech)
designs, manufactures, and sells device connectivity and device networking solutions for a broad
market. Quatech sells its products through a global network of distributors, system integrators,
value added resellers, and original equipment manufacturers (OEM). Quatech designs and
manufactures communication and data acquisition products for personal computer based systems. The
Company sells to customers in both domestic and foreign markets.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. All intercompany transactions and balances
have been eliminated in consolidation.
Going Concern
The Companys financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. Certain
conditions exist that raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going
concern. These conditions include continued operating losses, deficit working capital balances
and the inherent risk in extending or refinancing our bank line of credit, which matures on May
31, 2011. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to maintain
positive cash flows from operations and to raise additional financing. Management believes that
it has taken the necessary steps to achieve positive cash flows from operations, including the
acquisition of a product line and reduction and management of the Companys operating costs. The
Companys continued ability to obtain financing may be unavailable when needed. The accompanying
financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going
concern. As such, they do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability of recorded
asset amounts and classification of recorded assets and liabilities that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.
Liquidity
At December 31, 2010, the Company had a cash balance of $48,000 and a deficit in working capital
of $1,428,000. This compares to a cash balance of $18,000 and a deficit in working capital of
$1,343,000 at December 31, 2009. Although the Company has reported net losses in recent periods,
a significant portion of our operating expenses are non-cash. For 2010, the Company reported a
net loss of $665,000, which included the following non-cash operating expenses: depreciation and
amortization of $684,000, provision for excess inventory of $166,000, non-cash compensation for
stock options of $68,000, and non-cash interest expense of $95,000. For the year ended December
31, 2009, the Company reported a net loss of $1,133,000, which included the following non-cash
operating expenses: depreciation and amortization of $595,000, provision for excess inventory of
$48,000, non-cash compensation expense for stock options of $119,000, and non-cash interest
expense of $108,000.
The Company has taken the following actions to reduce expenses and increase capital: In the third
quarter of 2008, the Company reduced its cash operating expenses to align its cost structure with
then current economic conditions and a downturn in the Companys revenue levels, resulting in
annualized operating cost savings of approximately $600,000. During the first quarter of 2009,
the Company entered into an agreement with one of its contract manufacturers to sell certain
equipment and inventory, lease a portion of its facility to the manufacturer, and further engage
the manufacturer to produce more of the Companys products. This transaction provided $150,000 in
cash and has improved the operating efficiency of the Company. In the third quarter of 2009, the
Company implemented additional cost reduction measures by reducing headcount and implementing a
salary reduction program for all employees resulting in annual operating costs reductions of
approximately $400,000. On September 30, 2009, the Company acquired the SocketSerial product line
in a non cash transaction for the Company. Margins generated from revenues of this product line
have helped enable the Company to achieve a cash flow break even from operations. In March of
2011, the Company entered into a Fourth Amendment to Credit Agreement extending the maturity date
of its Bank revolving credit facility to May 31, 2011.
Going forward, the Company is dependent on financing its operations from through the contribution
generated from future revenues and the use of its bank line of credit. Management believes that
the actions it has taken will help enable the Company to generate positive cash flows from
operations. Additionally, the Company experienced an increase in the rate of new orders during
2010, resulting in a 15% increase in net sales for 2010 compared to 2009, and a 23% increase in
the size of its backlog of firm orders from $540,000 at December 31, 2009 to $664,000 at December
31, 2010. However, a further downturn in our revenue levels can severely impact the availability
under our line of credit and limit our ability to meet our obligations on a timely basis and
finance our operations as needed. The Company is currently talking to a number of other potential
lenders with the intent of replacing the bank line of credit, which matures on May 31, 2011, with
a new facility; however, we have not at this time received a commitment from another source that
could replace the Bank line in its entirety. The Company may find it necessary to raise
additional capital to fund its operations; however, there can be no assurance that additional
capital will be available on acceptable
terms, if at all, if and when it may be needed.
F-7
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
The Company calculates its reserve for excess and obsolete inventory based on the best estimate
available as to the value of the items, and capitalizes labor and overhead to inventory based on
estimates of applicable expenses. The Company estimates an allowance for doubtful accounts of its
accounts receivable based upon a review of delinquent accounts and an assessment of the Companys
historical evidence of collections. Additionally, the Company calculated its warranty reserve on
the best available measure of claims. Because of the inherent uncertainties in estimating the
above, it is at least reasonably possible that the estimates used could change within the near
term.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all short-term debt securities purchased with an initial maturity of three
months or less to be cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable
The Company extends unsecured credit to customers under normal trade agreements, which generally
require payment within 30 days. Accounts greater than 90 days past due are considered delinquent.
The Company does not charge interest on delinquent trade accounts receivable. Unless specified by
the customer, payments are applied to the oldest unpaid invoice. Accounts receivable are
presented at the amounts billed.
Management estimates an allowance for doubtful accounts, which was $23,479, and $26,674 as of
December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The estimate is based upon managements review of
delinquent accounts and an assessment of the Companys historical evidence of collections. The
Company incurred $0 and $1,000 of bad debt expense for the years ended December 31, 2010 and
2009, respectively. Specific accounts are charged directly to the reserve when management obtains
evidence of a customers insolvency or otherwise determines that the account is uncollectible.
Charge-offs of specific accounts for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 totaled $3,195
and $23,773, respectively.
Inventories
Inventories, consisting principally of raw materials, sub-assemblies and finished goods, are
stated at the lower of average cost or market. The Company regularly monitors inventories for
excess or obsolete items and records a provision to write-down excess or obsolete items as
required. At the end of each reporting period, the Company compares its inventory on hand to its
forecasted requirements for the next twelve month period and the Company writes-off the cost of
any inventory that is surplus, less any amounts that the Company believes it can recover from the
disposal of such inventory. The Companys sales forecasts are based upon historical trends,
customer communications, and data regarding market trends and dynamics. Changes in the amounts
recorded for surplus or obsolete inventory are included in cost of goods sold.
Property
Property is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is
computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets,
generally ranging from 3 to 11 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line
basis over the shorter of the useful lives of the improvements or the term of the related lease.
Capitalized Developed Software
Certain software development costs are capitalized after a product becomes technologically
feasible and before its general release to customers. Significant judgment is required in
determining when a product becomes technologically feasible. Capitalized development costs are
then amortized over the products estimated life beginning upon general release of the product.
Periodically, we compare a products unamortized capitalized cost to the products net realizable
value. To the extent unamortized capitalized cost exceeds net realizable value based on the
products estimated future gross revenues (reduced by the estimated future costs of completing
and selling the product) the excess is written off. This analysis requires us to estimate future
gross revenues associated with certain products and the future costs of completing and selling
certain products. Changes in these estimates could result in write-offs of capitalized software
costs. The Company capitalized software development costs of $0 and $29,282 for the years ended
December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
F-8
Financing Costs
Financing costs incurred are amortized over the life of the associated financing arrangements
using the effective interest method. Amortization expense totaled approximately $46,675 and
$50,068 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Long-lived Assets
The Company assesses potential impairments to its long-lived assets when there is evidence that
events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recovered.
An impairment loss is recognized when the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by an
asset (or group of assets) is less than its carrying amount. Any required impairment loss is
measured as the amount by which the assets carrying value exceeds its fair value, and is
recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the related asset and a charge to operations.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually at December
31st or more frequently when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value
of the Companys single reporting unit more likely than not exceeds its fair value. The Company
utilizes the two step test as required to assess goodwill for impairment. The first step of the
goodwill impairment test consists of comparing the carrying value of the reporting unit to its
fair value. Management estimates the fair value of the Company using an average of two methods
and compares the fair value to the carrying amount (net book value) to ascertain if potential
goodwill impairment exists. The Company utilizes methods that focus on its ability to produce
income (Income Approach) and the estimated consideration it would receive if there were a sale
of the Company (Market Approach). Key assumptions utilized in the determination of fair value
in step one of the test included the following: the Companys market capitalization; market
multiples of comparable companies within its industry; revenue and expense forecasts used in the
evaluation are based on trends of historical performance and managements estimate of future
performance; cash flows utilized in the discounted cash flow analysis are estimated using a
weighted average cost of capital determined to be appropriate for the Company. Based on the
Companys analysis for impairment at December 31, 2010, the estimated fair value of the Company
significantly exceeded its carrying value; therefore there was no impairment of goodwill and
other indefinite lived intangibles. Consequently, the second step of the impairment test was not
necessary.

The developed technology was acquired in the DPAC Quatech merger on February 28, 2006. The fair
value was determined to be $2,450,094 at the acquisition date and is being amortized over its
estimated life of 5 years. The fair value for the customer list acquired with the SocketSerial
product line acquisition on September 30, 2009 of $50,000 is being amortized over its expected
life of 5 years.
Total amortization expense related to the above assets was $500,020 and $490,020 for the years
ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
F-9
Revenue Recognition
Revenue on sales to customers is recognized upon shipment provided that persuasive evidence of a
sales arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, title has transferred, collection
of resulting receivables is reasonably assured, and there are no remaining significant
obligations. Revenue on sales to distributors where a right of return exists is recognized upon
sell-through, when products are shipped from the distributor to the distributors customer.
Revenue related to those products in our distribution channel at the end of each reporting period
which has not sold-through is deferred. The amount of deferred revenue included in other accrued
liabilities on the Companys balance sheet was $68,587 and $9,991 at December 31, 2010 and 2009,
respectively.
A reserve for defective products is recorded for customers based on historical experience or
specific identification of an event necessitating a reserve. Development revenue is recognized
when services are performed and was not significant for any of the periods presented.
The Company also offers marketing incentives to certain customers. These incentives are incurred
based on the level of expenses the customers incur and are charged to operations as expenses in
the same period.
Advertising Costs
The cost of advertising is charged to expense as incurred. Advertising expense for the years
ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 totaled approximately $77,000 and $64,000, respectively.
Shipping and Handling Costs
The costs of shipping and handling billed to customers in sale transactions are recorded as
revenue. Costs incurred for shipping and handling to customers are reported in cost of good sold.
Total shipping and handling costs incurred to ship goods to customers were approximately $82,000
and $68,000 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of
credit risk consist principally of accounts receivable, which are derived primarily from
distributors, original equipment manufacturers, and end customers.
The Company maintains its cash balances primarily in one financial institution which is insured
under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company recognizes compensation expense, using a fair-value based method, for costs related
to all share-based payments including stock options and stock issued under our employee stock
plans. The Company estimates the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant
using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is
ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite
service periods in our consolidated statements of operations.
Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between
financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using enacted tax
rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company
records a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that
such assets will not be realized. During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company
recorded a full valuation allowance associated with its net deferred tax assets.
The Company adheres to the provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes. ASC 740 prescribes
a recognition threshold that a tax position is required to meet before being recognized
in the financial statements, and provides guidance on derecognition, measurement,
classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and
transition issues. It is the Companys practice to recognize penalties and/or interest
related to income tax matters in interest and penalties expense.
As of December 31, 2010, the Companys prior three income tax years remain subject to examination
by the Internal Revenue Service, as well as various state and local taxing authorities.
Net Income (Loss) per Share
Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average
number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflect the
potential dilution of securities by including other common stock equivalents, including stock
options, in the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for a period, if dilutive.

For the 2010 and 2009 periods presented, the diluted
net loss per share is equivalent to the basic net loss
per share because the Company experienced losses in
these years and thus no potential common shares
underlying stock options, warrants, or convertible
preferred stock have been included in the net loss per
share calculation. Options and warrants to purchase
8,513,000 and 8,181,000 shares of Common Stock in 2010
and 2009, respectively, have been omitted from the loss
per share calculation as their effect is anti-dilutive. |
|
(2) |
|
Also excluded from both the 2010 and 2009 period
computations are approximately 32 million common shares
issuable for payment of accrued preferred stock
dividends payable at December 31, 2010, and the
potential of approximately 71 million common shares
that would have been issued upon the conversion of the
total number of shares of Preferred Stock outstanding
at each date at the option of the preferred
shareholders. |
The number of shares of common stock, no par value, outstanding at both December 31, 2010 and
2009 was 109,414,896. Additionally, there were unissued accrued dividend shares of 32,580,930 and
3,571,429 issuable at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The Company issued the 32,580,930
shares on March 28, 2011.
Preferred Stock
At December 31, 2010 the Company had outstanding 30,000 shares of convertible, voting,
cumulative, 15% Series A preferred stock. Dividends accrue and are payable quarterly in arrears
at the annual rate of 9% of the Original Issue Price of $100 per share, either in cash or common
stock, at the decision of the Company. Since the Company was not listed for trading on the
American Stock Exchange, a NASDAQ Stock Market or the New York Stock Exchange as of December 31,
2009, effective beginning January 1, 2010, dividends accrue and are to be paid quarterly in
arrears at the annual rate of 15%. For purposes of valuing the common stock payable to holders of
Series A Preferred in lieu of cash with respect to such quarterly dividends, the value shall be
deemed to be the average of the closing bid or sale prices (whichever is applicable) over the 10
day period ending the day prior to the dividend payment date. During the year ended December 31,
2009, the Company issued 11,408,553 common shares in payment of dividends of $191,252. At
December 31, 2010, the Company had accrued dividends of $482,500, of which $465,000 is
distributable in common stock, equating to 32,580,930 common shares issuable, and $17,500 of
which is accrued to be paid in cash. The Company did not issue any common shares during the year
ended December 31, 2010. At December 31, 2009, The Company had accrued dividends of $67,500, of
which $50,000 was distributable in common stock, equating to 3,571,429 common shares issuable,
and $17,500 of which was accrued to be paid in cash.
Series A preferred stock can, at the option of the holder, be converted into fully paid shares of
common stock. The number of shares of common stock into which shares of Series A preferred may be
converted shall be obtained by multiplying the number of shares of Series A preferred to be
converted by the Original Issue Price of $100 and dividing the result by the product of $0.034
(the Reference Price) times 1.25, which equates to approximately 71 million common shares
should the total number of outstanding preferred shares be converted. After December 31, 2009,
the Company can redeem the Series A preferred shares at a price per share equal to the Original
Issue Price. The holders of preferred stock have preference in the event of liquidation or
dissolution of the Company over the holders of common stock.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying value of the Companys cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts
payable, and debt approximate fair value due to the relatively short period of time to maturity.
Fair Value Measurements
In September 2006, the FASB issued ASC No. 820, Fair Value Measurements (ASC 820, and
previously referred to as Statement No. 157). The accounting pronouncement establishes a
three-level hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. In general, fair
value determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
or liabilities. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize data points that are observable
such as quoted prices, interest rates and yield curves. Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs
are unobservable data points for the asset or liability, and includes situations in which there
is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.

The Company values the put warrant liability by calculating the difference between the
Companys closing stock price at the end of a reporting period and the exercise price per share
multiplied by the number of warrants granted. The Company has classified the fair value of the
warrants as a liability and changes in the fair value of the warrants are recognized in the
earnings of the Company. The Company recognized a loss of $10,600 and a gain of $15,800 for the
years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, related to the change in value of the put
warrant liability. In addition, the actual settlement amount of the put warrant liability could
differ materially from the value determined based on the Companys stock price. There was no
change in the valuation technique used by the Company since the last reporting period.
The Subordinated Debt Agreement, which funded on January 31, 2008, provides for a formula driven
success fee equal to 7.0 times the trailing twelve months EBITDA minus indebtedness plus cash,
times 5.5%, to be paid at maturity or a triggering event. The success fee is being accounted for
as a separate contingent component of the note and will be revalued at each reporting period. The
success fee is calculated at the end of each reporting period based on the trailing twelve months
EBITDA, with the resultant amount multiplied by the percentage of the loan period remaining at
each measurement date. As such, the liability is trued up at each reporting period based on the
time elapsed, with the remaining unamortized portion of the success fee accreted monthly as
additional interest expense over the remaining term of the loan. Based on the results of the
above calculation, the Company recorded a liability of $18,319 and $0 for the success fee as of
December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. There was no change in the valuation technique used by
the Company since the last reporting period.
Comprehensive Income
The Company had no items of other comprehensive income for 2010 and 2009.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In January 2009, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Release No. 33-9002,
Interactive Data to Improve Financial Reporting. The final rule requires companies to provide
their financial statements and financial statement schedules to the SEC and on their corporate
websites in interactive data format using the eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL).
The rule was adopted by the SEC to improve the ability of financial statement users to access and
analyze financial data. The SEC adopted a phase-in schedule indicating when registrants must
furnish interactive data. Under this schedule, the Company will be required to submit filings
with financial statement information using XBRL commencing with its June 30, 2011 quarterly
report on Form 10-Q. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of XBRL reporting on its
financial reporting process.
In October 2009, the FASB amended revenue recognition guidance for arrangements with multiple
deliverables. The guidance eliminates the residual method of revenue recognition and allows the
use of managements best estimate of selling price for individual elements of an arrangement when
vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE), vendor objective evidence (VOE) or third-party
evidence (TPE) is unavailable. This guidance should be applied on a prospective basis for
revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after
June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. Full retrospective application of the guidance is
optional. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its
financial statements.
F-12
In April 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-13 (ASU 2010-13),
CompensationStock Compensation (Topic 718). ASU 2010-13 provides amendments to ASC Topic 718
to clarify that an employee share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the
currency of a market in which a substantial portion of the entitys equity securities trades
should not be considered to contain a condition that is not a market, performance, or service
condition. Therefore, an entity would not classify such an award as a liability if it otherwise
qualifies as equity. The amendments in ASU 2010-13 are effective for fiscal years, and interim
periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The provision of ASU
2010-13 are not expected to have a material effect on the financial position, results of
operations or cash flows of the Company.
In December 2010, the FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update 2010-28(ASU 2010-28),
IntangiblesGoodwill and Other (Topic 350). ASU 2010-28 amends ASC Topic 350. ASU 2010-28
clarifies the requirement to test for impairment of goodwill. ASC Topic 350 requires that
goodwill be tested for impairment if the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair
value. Under ASU 2010-28, when the carrying amount of a reporting unit is zero or negative an
entity must assume that it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, perform an
additional test to determine whether goodwill has been impaired and calculate the amount of that
impairment. The modifications to ASC Topic 350 resulting from the issuance of ASU 2010-28 are
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and interim periods within those
years. Early adoption is not permitted. The provisions of ASU 2010-28 are not expected to have a
material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
NOTE 2 PRODUCT LINE ACQUISITION
On September 30, 2009, in a non-cash transaction for the Company, the Company acquired from
Socket Mobile, Inc. (Socket) the SocketSerial product line and all assets of Socket which
pertain to Sockets serial card business (the Business), including the tangible personal
property and assets of Socket related to the Business; rights to any contract, purchase order,
license or other agreement to the ownership, manufacture and distribution of the assets; certain
rights to the intellectual property and proprietary rights related to or useful in connection
with the Business and customer lists; the SocketSerial brand name and the SocketSerial website.
The products in the SocketSerial product line consist of a CompactFlash serial card, a PC serial
card, a PC dual serial card, and a PC quad serial card, all with fixed and removable cable
models. Also included are a USB to Serial Adapter, USB to Ethernet Adapter and a license to sell
the Cordless Serial Adapter. Quatech intends to continue to manufacture and distribute the
SocketSerial product line and assumed existing customer support responsibilities. The transaction
was completed with the assistance of Development Capital Ventures, LP (DCV), the Companys
majority shareholder. DCV initially purchased the Assets from Socket and immediately transferred
the Assets to the Company in exchange for 8,750 shares of the Companys Series A Preferred Stock.
The Assets were acquired for a purchase price of $500,000, of which $450,000 was payable at
closing, and a contingent $50,000 payment would have become payable upon the attainment by
Quatech of $250,000 in quarterly sales revenue from the sale of SocketSerial products in any
quarter through the quarter ending December 31, 2010. No sales of the SocketSerial products
attained the $250,000 threshold in any quarterly period through December 31, 2010; therefore the
contingent $50,000 is not payable. The purchase price was allocated as follows:

The acquired Assets were not placed fully into service until December 31, 2009 and will begin
being depreciated in January 2010 under their respective lives, estimated to be 5 years, on a
straight line basis.

Included in the total deferred tax assets, the Company has an income tax carryforward for
federal net operating losses. The cumulative federal net operating loss carryforward of
approximately $12,308,000 expires through 2030; however, as a result of the merger between
Quatech, Inc. and DPAC Technologies Corp, a substantial portion of DPACs federal net operating
loss carryforward is subject to the provisions of Sec. 382 of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC),
and therefore, is not available for immediate benefit to the company. Management has not yet
determined the final impact of the IRC Sec. 382 limitation on the federal net operating loss
carryforward. The realization of the Companys deferred tax assets, including this federal net
operating loss, and the related valuation allowance are significant estimates requiring
assumptions regarding the sufficiency of future taxable income to realize the future tax
deduction from the reversal of deferred tax assets and the net operating loss prior to their
expiration. The valuation allowance has been provided based upon the Companys assessment of
future realizability of certain deferred tax assets, as it is more likely than not that
sufficient taxable income will not be generated to realize these temporary differences. The net
increase in the valuation allowance was $252,201 for 2010 and $419,790 for 2009. The amount of
the corresponding valuation allowance could change significantly in the near term if estimates of
future taxable income are changed.
F-15
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the differences between the
financial statement carrying values and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. The 2010 and
2009 valuation allowances were calculated using an assessment of both negative and positive
evidence when measuring the need for a valuation allowance. Evidence evaluated by management
included operating results during the most recent three-year period and future projections, with
more weight given to historical results than expectations of future profitability, which are
inherently uncertain. The Companys net losses in recent periods represented sufficient negative
evidence to require a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets. This
valuation allowance will be evaluated periodically and could be reversed partially or totally if
business results have sufficiently improved to support realization of deferred tax assets.
A reconciliation of the Companys effective tax rate compared to the federal statutory rate is as

Revolving Credit Facility
The Company has a revolving line of credit with a Bank providing for a maximum facility of
$1,500,000 working capital line of credit through May 31, 2011. At December 31, 2010, the
facility had a floating interest rate at the 30 day LIBOR (.26% at December 31, 2010) plus 8.5%.
Per the terms of the Third Amendment to Credit Facility, the line expired on December 15, 2010.
In March 2011, the Company entered into a Fourth Amendment (Amendment) to Credit Agreement,
effective as of December 15, 2010, extending the maturity date to May 31, 2011, and maintaining
the interest rate at the LIBOR Rate, plus 8.5%. Interest is
payable monthly on the last day of each month, until maturity. The Company is obligated to pay to
the Bank an extension fee of $17,500 per the terms of the Fourth Amendment, with $7,500 due with
the signing of the agreement and $10,000 due at maturity. All other terms and conditions of the
Credit Agreement remain unchanged by the Amendment. Availability under the line of credit is
formula driven based on applicable balances of the Companys accounts receivable and inventories.
Based on the formula, at December 31, 2010 the Company had availability to draw up to the maximum
line amount of $1,500,000. For 2010, the average debt balance on the line of credit was
$1,500,000 and the weighted average interest rate was 8.75%. The Credit Facility is secured by
substantially all of the assets of the Company and expires on May 31, 2011.
As of December 31, 2010, we were not in compliance with certain of our bank financial covenants,
which included purchasing assets in excess of $100,000.00 from Socket Mobile, Inc. through the
assistance of Development Capital Venture, L.P. without the express written consent of the bank.
These defaults were waived by Fifth Third Bank by agreement (entered into in March, 2011), but
any other events of default were not waived. Each of the loan agreements with Canal Mezzanine
Partners and the State of Ohio provide for cross-default of such loans in the event the Company
defaults on a material agreement (such as the Bank credit facility) under certain terms.
Further, each of the loan agreements provide for restrictive covenants, including the incurrence
of additional indebtedness and certain equity financings, which restrict the Companys ability to
access other sources of liquidity, absent refinancing all of the existing indebtedness. The
Company is currently talking to a number of other potential lenders with the intent of replacing
the bank line of credit with a new facility; however, we have not at this time received a
commitment from another source that could replace the Bank line in its entirety. The Bank line
currently is set to mature in May, 2011. Additionally, the Canal Mezzanine and State of Ohio
loan agreements contain provisions that accelerate the maturity and repayment of outstanding
borrowings upon the acceleration of the Bank debt.
Ohio Development Loan
On January 27, 2006 Quatech entered into a Loan Agreement with the Director of Development of the
State of Ohio pursuant to which Quatech borrowed $2,267,000 for certain eligible project
financing. The State of Ohio debt accrues interest at the rate of 9.0% per year. Payments of
interest only were due and payable monthly from March 2006 through February 2007. Thereafter,
Quatech was obligated to make 48 consecutive monthly principal payments of $10,417 plus interest
with the then balance due on February 1, 2011. During the second quarter of 2010, the repayments
terms of the note were modified by means of an Allonge to the original instrument and provided a
new debt amortization table. The modification deferred all monthly principal payments for a
period of 11 months from October 2009 through September 2010 and extended the maturity date of
the note. Per the modified agreement, the Company was obligated to make only monthly interest
payments from November 2009 through September 2010. Thereafter, Quatech is obligated to make
monthly principal payments of $10,417 plus interest through January 2013, with the remaining
balance due in January 2013. The Company is current on all payments through December 31, 2010. At
maturity, Quatech is obligated to pay the State of Ohio a participation fee equal to the lesser
of 10% of the maximum principal amount borrowed or $250,000. The State of Ohio debt is secured by
all the assets of Quatech which security interest is subordinated to the interest of the Bank.
The participation fee is being accrued as additional interest each month over the term of the
loan.
Subordinated Debt
On January 31, 2008, the Company entered into a Senior Subordinated Note and Warrant Purchase
Agreement (Agreement) with Canal Mezzanine Partners, L.P. (Canal), for $1,200,000. The
subordinated note has a stated annual interest rate of 13% and a five year maturity date.
Interest only payments are payable monthly during the first five years of the note with all
principal due and payable on the fifth anniversary of the note. The Agreement also provides for a
formula driven success fee based on a multiple of the trailing twelve months EBITDA, to be paid
at maturity or a triggering event, and for issuance of warrants entitling Canal to purchase 3% of
the Companys fully diluted shares at time of exercise at a nominal purchase price. At December 31, 2010, the
Company was not in compliance with the Funded Debt to EBITDA covenant.
Subsequent to year end and effective December 31, 2010, the covenant was
modified to read equal to or less than 5.0, with which the Company is in
compliance, and expects to be able to remain in compliance with. In conjunction with
the covenant modification and effective March 1, 2011, the interest rate
was increased from 13% to 16% per annum.
In October 2008, the Company
entered into an Amendment to the Agreement providing for a second tranche of
Senior Subordinated Debt financing from Canal of $250,000, which was due and
payable on February 15, 2009. In March 2010, the Company and Canal
came to agreement, effective November 1, 2009, that established a modified
payment schedule and increased the interest rate from 13% to 16% per annum. The
Company repaid $55,000 of the principal balance. In April 2011, the Company and
Canal came to agreement modifying the maturity date to July 31, 2011.
The warrants associated with the Canal debt have a 10 year life and are exercisable at any time.
The subordinated note has been discounted by the fair value of the detachable warrants, with a
corresponding contribution to capital. The discount, calculated to be $63,800 at time of
issuance, is being amortized as additional interest expense and accretes the note to face value
at maturity. The Company determined the fair value of the warrant by using the Black-Scholes
pricing model and calculating 3% of fully diluted shares at time of issuance, including a
potential 50 million common shares for the conversion of the outstanding Series A preferred
stock, which equated to approximately 4.9 million shares and using the closing stock price on the
date of the transaction of $0.014 per share.
F-17
The success fee is defined as equal to 7.0 times the trailing twelve months EBITDA minus
indebtedness plus cash, times 6.0%, to be paid at maturity or a triggering event. The success fee
is being accounted for as a separate contingent component of the note and will be revalued at
each reporting period. The success fee is calculated at the end of each reporting period based on
the trailing twelve months EBITDA, with the resultant amount multiplied times the percentage of
the loan period remaining at each measurement date. As such, the liability is trued up at each
reporting period based on the time elapsed, with the remaining unamortized portion of the success
fee accreted monthly as additional interest expense over the remaining term of the loan. $18,319
was accrued for the success fee was accrued at December 31, 2010 based on the formula calculation
and no success fees were accrued as of December 31, 2009.
Put Warrant Liability
In connection with the Subordinated Loan Agreement between the Company and the Hillstreet Fund,
entered into on February 28, 2006 and which was paid in full on January 31, 2008, the Company
issued a 10-year warrant (Put Warrant) for 5,443,457 common shares at an exercise price of
$0.00001 per share. The warrant expires on February 28, 2016. The Put Warrant continues to remain
outstanding and can be put to the Company at any time based on criteria set forth in the
warrant agreement at a price equal to the greatest of (i) the fair market value as established by
a capital transaction or public offering; (ii) six times the Companys EBITDA for the trailing 12
month period; and (iii) an appraised value. The Company values the put warrant liability by
calculating the difference between the Companys closing stock price at the end of a reporting
period and the exercise price per share multiplied by the number of warrants granted. The Company
has classified the fair value of the warrant as a liability and changes in the fair value of the
warrant are recognized in the earnings of the Company. The Company recognized a loss of $10,600
and a gain of $15,800 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, related to
the change in value of the put warrant liability. In addition, the actual settlement amount of
the put warrant liability could differ materially from the value determined based on the
Companys stock price.
The aggregate amounts of combined long term debt, excluding the put warrant liability, maturing
as of December 31st in future years is $320,000 in 2011, $125,000 in 2012, and $3,039,000 in
2013.
Interest expense incurred of $641,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010 included the following

NOTE 7 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Lease Commitments
The Company leases office and operation facilities in Hudson, Ohio under an operating lease
arrangement that expires on March 31, 2014. The minimum annual rentals under this lease are being
charged to expense on a straight line basis over the lease term. Deferred rents were $8,775 as of
December 31, 2010 and $13,500 as of December 31, 2009. The facility lease requires additional
payments for property taxes, insurance and maintenance costs. Additionally, the Company leases
certain equipment under operating leases. The Company had no capital leases as of December 31,
2010. The following table summarizes the future minimum payments under the Companys operating
leases at December 31, 2010:

rental receipts of $59,000 as the Company has sublet a portion of its facility in Hudson, OH to
one of its contract manufacturers.
Legal Proceedings
We are subject to various legal proceedings and threatened legal proceedings from time to time as
part of our business. We are not currently party to any legal proceedings nor are we aware of any
threatened legal proceedings, the adverse outcome of which, individually or in the aggregate, we
believe would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operations. However, any potential litigation, regardless of its merits, could result in
substantial costs to us and divert managements attention from our operations. Such diversions
could have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
F-18
Other Contingent Contractual Obligations
Over time, the Company has made and continues to make certain indemnities, commitments and
guarantees under which it may be required to make payments in relation to certain transactions.
These include: indemnities to past, present and future directors, officers, employees and other
agents pursuant to the Companys Articles, Bylaws, resolutions, agreements or otherwise;
indemnities to various lessors in connection with facility leases for certain claims arising from
such facility or lease; indemnities to vendors and service providers pertaining to claims based
on the negligence or willful misconduct of the Company; and indemnities pursuant to contracts
involving protection of selling security holders against claims by third parties arising from any
alleged inaccuracy of information in registration statements filed by the Company with the SEC or
involving indemnification of the other parties to contracts from any damages arising from
misrepresentations made by the Company. The Company may also issue a guarantee in the form of a
standby letter of credit as security for contingent liabilities under certain customer contracts.
The duration of these indemnities, commitments and guarantees varies and, in certain cases, may
be indefinite. The majority of these indemnities, commitments and guarantees may not provide for
any limitation of the future payments that the Company could potentially be obligated to make.
The Company has not recorded any liability for these indemnities, commitments and guarantees in
the accompanying balance sheets.
The Company has written severance agreements with the current CEO and CFO that provide for
compensation equivalent to one year of compensation and six months of compensation, respectively,
should either individual be terminated for any reason other than cause.
NOTE 8 STOCK OPTION PLANS
The Company recognizes compensation expense, using a fair-value based method, for costs related
to all share-based payments including stock options and stock issued under our employee stock
plans. The Company estimates the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant
using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is
ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite
service periods in our consolidated statements of operations.
Under the terms of the Companys 1996 Stock Option Plan, (the Plan), qualified and nonqualified
options to purchase shares of the Companys common stock are available for issuance to employees,
officers, directors, and consultants. As amended on February 23, 2006, the Plan initially called
for options to purchase 15,000,000 shares with an increase to the total number of options
available in the plan of 4% of the number of outstanding shares of common stock each year until
the end of the option plan. On February 23, 2006, the termination date for the plan was extended
to January 11, 2011. At December 31, 2010, 22,655,000 shares were available for future grants
under the Plan. Subsequent to year end and prior to the termination date of the plan, the Company
issued 9,100,000 options shares.
Options issued under this Plan are granted with exercise prices at fair market value and
generally vest immediately for options granted to directors and at a rate of 25% per year for
options granted to employees, and expire within 10 years from the date of grant or 90 days after
termination of employment.
During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company recognized compensation expense
for stock options of $68,496 and $119,371. The expense is included in the consolidated statement
of operations as general and administrative expense. Total unamortized compensation expense
related to non-vested stock option awards at December 31, 2010 was $46,000, which is expected to
be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.7 years. The Companys calculations were made
using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, with the following weighted average assumptions:

Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of the Companys stock. The Company used
historical experience with exercise and post employment termination behavior to determine the
options expected lives. The expected life represents the period of time that options granted are
expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury rate with a maturity
date corresponding to the options expected life. The dividend yield is based upon the historical
dividend yield.

NOTE 9 CONCENTRATION OF CUSTOMERS
No single customer accounted for more than 10% of net sales for 2010 and one customer accounted
for 11% of net sales in 2009. No single customer accounted for more than 10% and one customer
accounted for 13% of accounts receivable at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
NOTE 10 SEGMENT INFORMATION
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial
information is available that is evaluated regularly by the Companys chief operating
decision-maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing
performance. The Companys chief executive officer reviews financial information and makes
operational decisions based upon the Company taken as a whole. Therefore, the Company reports as
a single segment.
The Company had export sales that accounted for 26% and 23% of total net sales in 2010 and 2009,
respectively. Export sales were primarily to Western European countries, Canada, Brazil, and
Singapore. Foreign sales are made in U.S dollars. All long-lived assets are located in the United
States.
