DPAC TECHNOLOGIES CORP.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

 

NOTE 1  - General Background

 

Agreement with QuaTech, Inc.

 

On April 26, 2005, we announced that DPAC has entered into a definitive agreement with QuaTech, Inc. that sets forth the terms of a proposed acquisition by us of QuaTech, Inc. through a triangular stock-for-stock merger. For accounting purposes, the transaction may be considered a reverse-acquisition of us by QuaTech, Inc.  A copy of the agreement has been incorporated by reference as Exhibit 2.4 hereto.

 

5



 

Following the transaction, QuaTech would be a wholly-owned subsidiary of DPAC. Under the definitive agreement, QuaTech’s shareholders and stakeholders would receive DPAC shares in an amount equal to 150 percent of the amount of DPAC’s partially diluted shares on a record date on the terms and subject to the conditions of the agreement.  Also, we intend to issue and sell additional shares or securities for purposes of helping us to conserve working capital, to finance the QuaTech transaction, and to provide us added working capital.

 

QuaTech, a privately-held company, 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 OEM’s, VAR’s and System Integrators, as well as end-users in many industries, including banking, retail/POS, access control, building automation and security, and energy management. QuaTech is a leading supplier of data connectivity products to financial institutions, serving five of the top ten U.S. banks.

 

Founded in 1983 and headquartered in Hudson, Ohio, QuaTech sells and supports its solutions both direct and through a global network of resellers and distributors.

 

The consummation of the merger, as contemplated by the definitive agreement, is subject to various conditions, including the approval of DPAC shareholders and QuaTech shareholders, as well as satisfaction of certain other requirements and the absence of material adverse changes in conditions.  Other factors that affect DPAC’s business and its ability to conclude a merger transaction include, but are not limited to, that our Airborne(TM) products are new, that we sell to original equipment manufacturers for new product introductions by them, and that all of these are subject to risks and uncertainties regarding new product introductions such as uncertainty of market acceptance. Another major condition is that the parties need additional financing to complete the transactions as envisioned. Such financing may not be available on favorable terms. There are no assurances possible, and none is intended, that the transaction will be completed at all or on the terms described. The transaction is and shall continue to be subject to numerous conditions and contingencies until the transaction is completed. Also, there can be no assurance that such transaction, if completed, will succeed in achieving our goals.

 

DPAC Technologies Corp. will provide further detailed information to its shareholders in a definitive proxy statement to solicit their vote for the transaction.

 

The transaction’s costs and diversion of management attention could negatively impact results.

 

The transaction would involve a change of control, in that it is likely that voting control of DPAC may be given to shareholders of QuaTech. If the principal former shareholders of QuaTech were to act in concert, they might be able to elect a majority of DPAC’s Board of Directors

 

Description of Business

 

DPAC Technologies Corp. (formerly Dense-Pac Microsystems, Inc.) (“DPAC” or the “Company” or “we” or “our”) is a provider of wireless connectivity products for industrial, transportation, medical and other commercial applications. The AirborneTM wireless Local Area Network (LAN) Node Module was introduced in September 2003 after an initial year of research and development. The product is designed to enable OEM equipment designers to incorporate 802.11 wireless LAN connectivity into their device, instrument or equipment through the inclusion of the Company’s Wireless LAN Node Module in their system design. The Company also sells Airborne Direct plug-and-play wireless products that add 802.11 wireless connectivity to legacy instruments and equipment that have a pre-existing serial or Ethernet data port.

 

Our products are used in medical monitoring and diagnostic equipment, heavy construction vehicles, forklifts, printers, point of sale devices, machine tools and other instruments and devices that seek to communicate data wirelessly with a local area network. We sell products to both original equipment manufacturers (OEM’s), who incorporate our products into their proprietary systems, and directly to individual operators for deployment into their existing networks.

 

6



 

DPAC Technologies Corp. (“DPAC” or the “Company” or “we” or “our”) 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. Our web site is at www.DPACtech.com. The information on our web site is not part of this report.

 

During fiscal year 2005, the Company sold its Industrial, Defense and Aerospace (“IDA”) product line and ceased the sale and production of memory stacking services to providers of high-density memory boards for the personal computer, server and telecommunications markets. These product lines had comprised the majority of the Company’s historical revenues.  We now treat the results of operations and any remaining assets for these product lines as discontinued operations in our financial statements.

 

Except where otherwise noted, the financial information contained herein represents our continuing operations and excludes the discontinued IDA and memory stacking products.

 

NOTE 2  - Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited interim Condensed Financial Statements of DPAC as of May 31, 2005 and for the three ended May 31, 2005 and 2004, reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and a restructuring charge), which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete-year financial statements. DPAC®, DPAC Technologies® and AirborneTM are registered trademarks of DPAC Technologies Corp.

 

These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2005. Operating results for the three months ended May 31, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending February 28, 2006.

 

Some historical amounts have been reclassified to be consistent with the current financial presentation.

 

NASDAQ SmallCap Listing

 

In August 2004, DPAC (ticker: DPAC) elected to apply and was approved for listing of its common stock on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, transferring from the Nasdaq National Market listing after its shareholders’ equity balance decreased to less than the $10 million level required for continued listing on the National Market.

 

Recently, DPAC received a notice of the Nasdaq Staff’s Determination to De-List DPAC.  There are two individual bases for de-listing our common stock.  Our shares fail to meet two individual requirements for a continuing listing on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market(sm):  (a) firstly, we have written-off all of the goodwill on our balance sheet and this resulted in our shareholders’ equity being decreased to less than the $2.5 million level; and (b) secondly, the time has elapsed in which we were allowed to try to resolve our continued deficiency in the minimum bid price requirement, which is $1.00 per share.  During June 2004, DPAC first received a letter from the Nasdaq Stock Market indicating that our common stock had failed to meet the Nasdaq SmallCap Market’s $1.00 per share requirement for the preceding 30 consecutive trading days. The first Nasdaq notice letter allowed us 180 days to regain compliance, or until December 20, 2004. On December 21, 2004, we received a letter from the Nasdaq Stock market granting us an additional 180 days to regain compliance, or until June 20, 2005. We did not regain compliance, and no additional time was given to regain compliance.

 

If our listing continues to the time of the merger with Quatech (see Item 1), and if the merger is approved and is completed, DPAC will request to maintain its listing on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market.  The

 

7



 

Staff of the Nasdaq Stock Market has notified us that they have determined that, if our transaction with QuaTech, Inc., is completed, the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications department would judge us, including QuaTech, Inc. as a newly added subsidiary, as if we were an initial listing applicant.  The standards for initial listing are higher than for continued listing.  For instance, we might have particular difficulty meeting the minimum bid price requirement, which is $4.00, for initial listing.

 

We gave written notice to Nasdaq on May 20, 2005 that requested a hearing on the Nasdaq Staff’s determination described in the preceding paragraph.  In addition, we notified Nasdaq that we failed to continue to meet the $2.5 million minimum shareholders’ equity requirement for continued listing, and anticipated failing to meet the June 20, 2005 deadline.  We requested that the hearing address such issues, as well.

 

Nasdaq held a Hearing and considered our request to continue listing to the time of the merger with QuaTech.  As of the date hereof, we are awaiting their decision.  We could be delisted for failing to meet the two continuing listing criteria mentioned above.

 

DPAC intends and has agreed to request approval from our shareholders during the fiscal year 2005 annual meeting for the QuaTech, Inc. transaction. If approved, we believe that the transaction will result in a shareholders’ equity in excess of its minimum, whether for continuing listing or initial listing.  Further, we believe if our shareholders concurrently approve a reverse stock split of fifteen-for-one, the resultant common stock price per share could be raised above the minimum bid price compliance level for continuing listing; provided, however, the Nasdaq Hearing Panel may decide not to grant us a continued listing and the Nasdaq Staff has determined to delist our shares because we have failed to maintain all the minimum criteria, and even if the listing continues, the Nasdaq Staff has also determined that our transaction with QuaTech, Inc. will be treated as an initial listing of a new entity, not as a continuing listing.  Further listing privileges can be denied either based on specific rules or in the discretion of Nasdaq.  We are also not assured of an initial listing (if treated as such) even if QuaTech, Inc. is consolidated with us because it may be impractical for us to meet the higher requirements of initial listing, in particular the $4.00 per share minimum bid price requirement.  If any requirement for listing is not met, the securities of the company would then be trade on the over-the-counter bulletin board.

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

The Company has elected, pursuant to SFAS 123, to continue using the intrinsic value method of accounting for stock-based awards granted to employees and directors in accordance with Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting for its stock option and purchase plans. We only record compensation expense for stock-based awards granted with an exercise price below the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant.

 

SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, as amended by SFAS 148, requires the disclosure of pro forma net income and earnings per share. Under SFAS 123, and as amended by SFAS 148, the fair value of stock-based awards to employees is calculated through the use of option-pricing models, even though such models were developed to estimate the fair value of freely tradable, fully transferable options without vesting restrictions, which significantly differ from the Company’s stock option awards. These models also require subjective assumptions, including future stock price volatility and expected time to exercise, which greatly affect the calculated values.

 

As prescribed in SFAS 123, the Company’s calculations are based on a single-option valuation approach and forfeitures are recognized as they occur. Had compensation cost for the Company’s stock option plans been determined based on the estimated fair value at the grant dates for awards under those plans consistent with the fair value method of SFAS 123 utilizing the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, the Company’s net loss from continuing operations and basic and diluted earnings loss per share for the quarters ended May 31, 2005 and 2004 would have approximated the pro forma amounts indicated below:

In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS 123R). Under the provisions of SFAS 123R, companies are required to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period. On April 14, 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission approved a delay to the effective date of SFAS 123R. Under the new SEC rule, SFAS 123R is effective for annual periods that begin after June 15, 2005. SFAS 123R applies to all awards granted, modified, repurchased or cancelled by the Company after February 28, 2006 and to unvested options at the date of adoption.

 

NOTE 3 – Liquidity

 

The Company has incurred losses from continuing operations during the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 and for each of the last three fiscal years. At May 31, 2005, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1.3 million, working capital of $423,000 and a current ratio of 1.2 to 1. This compares to a cash balance of $2.7 million, working capital of $1.5 million and a current ratio of 1.8 to 1 at February 28, 2005.

Management expects the Company will continue to consume cash for the next several quarters.  The rate at which cash will be consumed is primarily dependent on the amount of revenues realized during each period.  Based on the Company’s current cash flow requirements, management believes that our positive cash position will not be adequate to continue to maintain liquidity throughout the ensuing fiscal year. This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company will seek to close the merger with QuaTech and continue to seek additional equity or financing in order to meet its obligations, as they are due.  There can be no assurance that additional financing would be available if and when needed on terms favorable to the Company.

 

NOTE 4  - Discontinued Operations

 

 As a result of the significant decline in the demand for the Company’s legacy stacking products experienced during fiscal year 2004 and continuing into fiscal year 2005, the Company implemented a number of restructuring initiatives to focus future endeavors of the Company on the Airborne™ product line.

 

On June 14, 2004, DPAC sold all of its memory stacking patent and patent applications and related excess inventory associated with our legacy commercial product line for $670,000 in cash. Under the agreement, DPAC accepted agreed upon orders for LP Stacks™ subject to material and capacity availability through July 30, 2004 and all orders were shipped no later than August 6, 2004. In conjunction with the sale, the Company’s memory stacking product line was discontinued. This product line accounted for $16.3 million (or 83%) of the Company’s net sales during fiscal year 2004 and $3.9 million (or 56%) of the Company’s net sales for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2005. Accordingly, the Company completed the planned shut down of its in-house manufacturing, disposed of all related manufacturing equipment and vacated the portion of its leased facility utilized for manufacturing purposes during the third quarter of fiscal year 2005. The product lines are classified as discontinued operations beginning in the second fiscal quarter of 2005.

 

On May 6, 2004, DPAC reached an agreement with a third party to sell DPAC’s industrial, defense and aerospace (IDA) memory product line. The agreement transferred all of our relevant licensed rights to the specified technology and product line, and certain inventory and assets for $333,000 in cash and contingent future consideration based on the revenues of the product lines for the next two years. The amount of the additional consideration cannot yet be determined. The entire IDA product line, including royalty revenues, accounted for $3.16 million (or 16%) of the Company’s net sales during fiscal year 2004 and $1.7 million (or 24%) of the Company’s net sales for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2005. In conjunction with the sale of the memory stacking product line as well as the shut down of the Company’s manufacturing process, the Company determined that, after completing shipments of existing IDA orders, it would no longer have continuing significant involvement with the IDA product line. The product line was categorized as discontinued during the second quarter of fiscal year 2005.

 

In accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” both the IDA and memory stacking product lines are classified as discontinued operations beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2005, and the related financial results are reported separately as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Certain financial information regarding these product lines included in discontinued operations is set forth below:

During the quarter ended August 31, 2004, the Company recorded a reserve for vacated excess facilities of $295,000. During the quarter ended May 31, 2005, the Company was able to sub lease the vacated premises, which had previously been considered to be highly unlikely. The Company therefore recorded a reduction to the reserve in the amount of $102,900, reflecting the estimated value of future lease receipts. This resulted in a credit of $102,900 to restructuring charges for discontinued operations for the quarter ended May 31, 2005. The accrued severance charges are payable over the period ending December 31, 2006.  No other restructuring charges were recorded in the quarter ended May 31, 2005.

NOTE 5 – Goodwill

 

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable assets acquired. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually, or when a possible impairment is indicated, using the fair value based test prescribed by SFAS 142. 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 the accounting value of our net assets. In estimating the fair value of the entire Company, we review the average and closing stock prices for our Common Stock, as well as other factors including using a discounted cash flow analysis. If the fair value of the entire Company is determined to be less than the accounting value of our net assets, we could be required to record an impairment loss for our goodwill that could have a material adverse impact on our operating results for the period in which such charge was recorded.

 

Pursuant to SFAS 142, the Company performed its annual valuation to determine if an impairment of goodwill had occurred as of February 28, 2005. The Company reviewed the market value of its outstanding common stock, as well as subjective valuations based on projections of revenues, costs of goods sold, operating margins and cash flows. Based on these analyses, the Company concluded that projected future cash flows to be generated from operations were not sufficient to substantiate a fair value of the entire Company to support the accounting value of our net assets. Based on this analysis, the Company concluded that the entire amount goodwill had been impaired and, therefore, recorded a non-cash impairment charge of  $4.5 million during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2005.

NOTE 7 - Concentration of Customers

 

During the three months ended May 31, 2005, sales to two major customer accounted for 12% and 10% of net sales. Accounts receivable from these customer accounted for 13% of net accounts receivable at May 31, 2005. The Company has and will have customers ranging from large OEM’s to startup operations.  We have had limited prior collections experience with most of our customers.  Any inability to collect receivables from any such customers could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position and liquidity.

 

NOTE 8  - Short-Term Debt

 

At May 31, 2005, the Company had $60,000 of short-term debt, with an annual interest rate of 5.5%, payable monthly, through July 2005.

 

The Company’s bank credit facility expired in June 2005.

NOTE 10 – Net Loss Per Share

 

The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share”. Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share would reflect the potential dilution of securities by including other common stock equivalents, such as stock options and warrants, in the weighted-average number of shares outstanding, if dilutive. Such equivalents have been excluded in the table below because they are antidilutive.

The number of shares of common stock, no par value, outstanding at May 31, 2005 was 23,744,931.

NOTE 11 – Segment Information

 

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the Company’s chief operating decision-maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s chief executive officer reviews financial information and makes operational decisions based upon the Company as a whole. Therefore, the Company reports as a single segment.

 

The Company had export sales (primarily to Western European countries) accounting for approximately 13% of net sales for the three months ended May 31, 2005. Foreign sales are made in U.S. dollars. All long-lived assets are located in the United States.

 

NOTE 12 – 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. The Company exercises significant judgment relating to the projection of future taxable income to determine the recoverability of any tax assets recorded on the balance sheet. 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. During the year ended February 28, 2005 and the first three months ended May 31, 2005, the Company established a full valuation allowance associated with its net deferred tax assets.

 

The valuation allowance was calculated in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (“SFAS 109”), which requires 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 Company’s net losses in recent periods represented sufficient negative evidence to require a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets under SFAS 109. This valuation allowance will be evaluated periodically and could be reversed partially or totally if business results shall have sufficiently improved to support realization of our deferred tax assets.

 

NOTE 13 – Private Placement of Common Stock

 

On May 6, 2004, the Company completed a private placement of approximately 2.5 million shares of common stock and warrants for net proceeds of approximately $1.8 million. In conjunction with the sale of stock, the Company issued warrants to purchase additional common stock. The Series A warrants expire in five years and are exercisable for approximately 1.24 million additional shares of common stock to the investors at $1.24 per share.  Of these Series A Warrants, 968,836 are called “Restricted” as they were not exercisable until November 5, 2004. The remaining Series A warrants are immediately exercisable. The Series B warrants expire 320 days after July 14, 2004 and are immediately exercisable for approximately 1.03 million additional shares of common stock to the investors at $.97 per share. The placement agent has received warrants to purchase approximately 238,000 shares of common stock at $1.07 per share that were not exercisable until November 5, 2004, and that will expire in five years. The warrants are callable by DPAC under certain conditions.

 

The Company valued the warrants using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

 

(a) expected life equal to the contract life of each warrant,

 

14



 

(b) 100% volatility and 3.7% risk-free interest rate for the Series A and placement agent warrants, and

 

(c) 94% volatility and 1.5% risk-free interest rate for the Series B warrants.

 

This calculation resulted in the following valuations: $700,000 for the Series A warrants, $0.24 million for the Series B warrants, and $0.14 million for the placement agent warrants. The value ascribed to the warrants has been treated as a reduction to common stock issued in the private placement.

 

NOTE 14 – Restructuring Costs

 

As a result of the significant decline in the demand for the Company’s stacking products, the Company implemented a number of restructuring initiatives during fiscal year 2004 and 2005 to focus future endeavors of the Company on the Airborne™ product line and to transition to an outsourced manufacturing model.

 

During the fiscal year ended February 28, 2005, the Company recorded net restructuring charges affecting continuing operations of $665,000, which are comprised of severance charges as the result of a reduction in workforce of ten individuals, including the company’s prior CFO. The accrued severance charges are payable over the period ending December 2006. No restructuring charges were recorded for continuing operations in the quarter ended May 31, 2005.

 

A summary of the activity that affected the Company’s accrued restructuring costs of continuing operations during the three months ended May 31, 2005 is as follows:

NOTE 15 – QuaTech Merger

 

On April 26, 2005, DPAC announced that we have entered into a definitive agreement with QuaTech, Inc. that sets forth the terms of a proposed merger on a stock-for-stock basis. A copy of the agreement has been filed with the SEC under Form 8-K/A.  QuaTech, a privately-held company, is an industry leader in device networking and connectivity solutions.  Following the transaction, QuaTech would be a wholly-owned subsidiary of DPAC. Under the letter of intent, QuaTech’s shareholders and stakeholders would receive DPAC shares in an amount equal to 150 percent of the amount of DPAC’s partially diluted shares on a record date and on terms to be determined.

 

The consummation of the merger, as contemplated by the definitive agreement, is subject to various conditions, including the approval of DPAC shareholders and QuaTech shareholders, as well as satisfaction of certain other requirements and the absence of material adverse conditions.

NOTE 16 – Commitments and Contingencies

 

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 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 management’s attention from our operations. Such diversions could have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

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 Company’s 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 also entered into a severance agreement with the CEO that provides for compensation equivalent to one year of salary should the CEO be terminated for any reason other than cause.

 

Product warranty costs have not been significant.  The Company has had limited warranty-related experience with our Airborne™ products.

 

ITEM 2 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the condensed financial statements and notes to those statements included elsewhere in this Report. This Report and the following discussion contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.  Forward-looking statements include statements of our beliefs, plans, objectives, expectations, anticipated results and intentions. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in our forward-looking statements. Every statement that is not entirely historic in this Report is considered to be forward-looking statement. 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 the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 28, 2005 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 15, 2005, as well as those discussed in this Item or elsewhere herein. We undertake no obligation to publicly release the

 

16



 

result of any revisions to our forward-looking statements that may be required to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

 

Operating Losses

 

The Company has experienced losses from operations for the past thirteen quarters.  Even if our expectations for net sales for future periods are met, we continue to expect losses from operations for several future quarters. Our longer-term potential for profitability depends upon successful product introductions by our present and future customers. Their products incorporate our Airborne products into the final OEM products for sale to the end-user customers.  We must secure a sufficient number of OEM customers whose products generate a sufficient sales volume for our product before we can reach the revenues necessary for profitability.  This is due to the level of selling, general and administrative expenses and research and development expenses we are incurring to introduce the product to the market and other expenses.

 

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.

 

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.

 

Other primary factors that may in the future affect our results of operations include our efforts to reduce our operating expenses and our fixed overhead.  Our costs in any particular period could include higher costs associated with stock-based compensation.

 

Accordingly, for these reasons among many others, there can be no assurance that we will become profitable in any future period.

 

Our operating results were materially reduced from historic levels by our sale on May 6, 2004 of the industrial, defense and aerospace product line as well as the sale on June 6, 2004 of the LP memory stacking business. These two legacy product lines accounted for approximately $19.5 million (99%) of the fiscal year 2004 net sales, prior to restatement for discontinued operations. After we sold these product lines in fiscal year 2004, we began reporting operating results from these product lines as discontinued operations.  These discontinued operations are excluded from our operating results.

 

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

 

17



 

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.

 

During the prior two years, DPAC divested itself of its historical product lines and primary sources of revenues and committed its future and resources to developing and selling wireless technology. During fiscal year 2005, we focused on restructuring DPAC to lower our operating cost structure while ensuring that we maintained our operating flexibility to support future growth in the industry.

 

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.

 

There can be no assurance that we will be able to be profitable in any future period. We believe that period-to-period comparisons of our financial results are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as indications of future performance.

 

Due to the foregoing factors, it is likely that in some future period our operating results and financial condition will be below the expectations of public market or investors generally. In such event, the market price of our Common Stock or other securities could be materially and adversely affected.

 

The following discussion and analysis focuses primarily on the results of operations and financial condition of our continuing operations and separately discusses changes due to discontinued operations.

 

Three Months Ended May 31, 2005 and 2004

 

Net Sales. Our sales are derived primarily from the shipment AirborneTM wireless products and occasional engineering development contracts. Product shipments currently consist of sales of evaluation kits, prototype units, pre-production and limited production quantities of the Company’s AirborneTM wireless product line. Net sales for the quarter ended May 31, 2005 of $264,000 consisted of $256,000 of product shipments and $8,000 of revenues for development contracts. This compares to total net sales of $401,000 for the same period in the prior fiscal year, which consisted of $253,000 of AirborneTM wireless products and $148,000 of revenues related to development contracts.  Revenues from development contracts are not expected to be a significant element of our future revenue base.

 

 Gross Profit. Gross profit for the quarter ended May 31, 2005 was $57,000 as compared to $44,000 in the same period in the prior fiscal year. Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 21% for the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 as compared to 11% for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The increase in gross profit in both absolute dollars and as a percentage of sales is directly related to the product mix. and nature of the revenues. Gross margin on development contracts has historically been very small or break-even. Gross margins are low due to the fact that fixed manufacturing overhead costs are being allocated to prototype and pre-production quantities of product shipments. Our gross margins may be expected to increase when our customers begin ordering larger quantities of our product and the fixed cost base is spread over a larger volume of revenues.  See “Forward-Looking Statements.”

Selling and Marketing Expenses. Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries and commissions, travel expenses, web page development and advertising, trade show expenses, print advertising and public relations expenses. Selling and marketing expenses of $370,000 decreased by $125,000 or 34% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 from $495,000 in the first quarter of the prior fiscal year. The decrease is primarily due to decreased spending related to print advertising of $51,000, web page advertising of $31,000 and the use of outside consultants, primarily engaged in identifying vertical market segments, of $40,000. The Company incurred a higher level of spending during the first quarter of fiscal year 2005 on sales and marketing efforts related to launching the Airborne wireless product line.

 

Research and Development.  Research and development expenses consist primarily of ongoing design and development expenses for new wireless products. Research and development expenses for the quarter ended May 31, 2005 were $315,000 as compared to $314,000 in the first quarter of the prior fiscal year. The Company is continuing to invest in research and development to expand and develop new wireless products. See “Forward-Looking Statements.”

 

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 of $562,000 decreased by $15,000 or 4% from $577,000 in the first quarter of the prior fiscal year. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in salaries and benefits of $53,000 and lower liability and D&O insurance costs of $21,000. These reductions were partially off-set by increases in legal and accounting fees of $59,000.

 

Restructuring Charges. No restructuring charges were incurred during the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 as compared to $85,000 of restructuring charges incurred during the same prior fiscal year period. The prior year period charges consisted of severance charges for one individual.

 

 Interest. For the three months ended May 31, 2005, interest income of $7,700 remained almost constant when compared to interest income of $7,500 for the same period in the prior fiscal year, due to a higher rate of return on lower cash balances.

 

Income Taxes. No income tax benefit or provision has been provided during the quarters ended May 31, 2005 and 2004. 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.

 

Discontinued Operations. The gain from discontinued operations for the first quarter ended May 31, 2005 was $334,000 as compared to a loss of $956,000 for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The gain in the current fiscal period resulted from revenues of $183,000, consisting primarily of royalty revenues, and a reduction in the amount of a previously recorded impairment charge for vacated facilities of $159,000. The prior year quarter loss resulted from revenues of $1.9 million and included impairment and restructuring charges of $714,000.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

At May 31, 2005 we had a cash balance of $1.3 million, and our working capital was $423,000.  The current ratio (current assets to current liabilities) was 1.2 to 1.0. This compares to a cash balance of $2.7 million, working capital of $1.5 million and a current ratio of 1.8 to 1.0 at February 28, 2005.  In our first

 

19



 

quarter of fiscal year 2006 we consumed cash at a rate of approximately $100,000 per week.  If this cash consumption rate continued our cash balance would support us through the end of August 2005 at which time we would need additional capital in order to continue operations.

 

Based on our projected cash consumption rate, management believes that its cash balance of $1.3 million at May 31, 2005 and cash from operations will not be sufficient to finance our operations through fiscal year 2006 without additional financing.  Management intends to address the Company’s need for additional capital through or in connection with a transaction with QuaTech, Inc. As described in our Form’s 8-K filed with the SEC on March 8, 2005 and April 27, 2005, the Company has signed a definitive agreement to acquire QuaTech, Inc. for stock. DPAC and QuaTech are actively engaged in securing the necessary financing to effect and close the transaction. We do not have a binding agreement for the funding which is required for us to complete the transaction with QuaTech or with any person or firm. We can provide no assurance that we or QuaTech will be able to obtain any necessary financing on satisfactory terms, or at all, and consequently we can provide no assurance we will be able to close the transaction with QuaTech or continue operations.

 

The Company’s primary source of operating capital for the three months ended May 31, 2005 was our cash balances.

 

 Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended May 31, 2005 of $1.5 million consisted primarily of the net loss from continuing operations of $1.2 million, increases to inventories of $144,000 and other assets of $165,000 and payments of accrued restructuring charges of $166,000. These amounts were slightly offset by a decrease in accounts receivable of $90,000 and an increase of other accrued liabilities of $55,000. Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended May 31, 2004 of approximately $1.6 million consisted primarily of the net loss from continuing operations of $1.4 million and an increase in accounts receivable of $255,000.

 

The Company’s discontinued operations provided cash of $175,000 and $938,000 for the three months ended May 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The cash generated in the current fiscal year three-month period resulted from the operating income partially offset by payments of accrued restructuring charges and capital leases. The cash generated in the three months ended May 31, 2004 resulted primarily from collections of accounts receivable and reductions in inventory, partially offset by the loss from discontinued operations and payments of restructuring charges. Deferred proceeds from the sale of the IDA product line in May 2004 contributed $311,000 in cash in that prior-year period.

 

Net cash provided by investing activities of $33,000 for the three months ended May 31, 2005 consisted of cash receipts of $50,000 from the technology license agreement and partially offset by $17,000 in equipment purchases. Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended May 31, 2004 consisted of $36,000 of equipment purchases.

 

Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended May 31, 2005 of $88,000 consisted of principal payments on short-term debt. Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended May 31, 2004 consisted of net proceeds of $1.9 million from a private placement of common stock and warrants to purchase common stock.

 

As of May 31, 2005, our future commitments under capital leases through fiscal year 2008 were $229,000. Our commitments due in the fiscal quarter ending August 31, 2005 under capital leases are $28,000.

 

DPAC operates at leased premises in Southern California, which are adequate for the Company’s needs for the near term.

 

As of June 30, 2005, we were in compliance with the covenants, terms and conditions of our leases and debt instruments.

 

Management estimates that the Company, at least pending completion of its transaction with QuaTech, Inc., could continue to consume cash at the rate of about $500,000 per month for the next several

 

20



 

quarters.  Therefore, only if we receive sufficient additional financing, will we be able to seek to close the merger with Quatech.  We must continue to seek additional equity financing and debt financing as a means to continue to implement current plans.

 

 There can be no assurance that additional financing would be available if and when needed on terms favorable to the Company; and any future sale of our equity securities could dilute or subordinate the ownership interest of existing shareholders. Although the rate at which cash will be consumed is dependent on the amount of revenues realized during each period and on the amount of costs, management believes that our positive cash position will not be adequate to continue to maintain liquidity throughout the ensuing fiscal quarter.

 

The actual amount and timing of working capital and capital expenditures that we may incur in future periods may vary significantly and will depend upon numerous factors, including the amount and timing of the receipt of revenues from operations, any potential licensing revenues, and any potential divestitures of assets. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available when needed on terms favorable to the Company, if at all. When our cash balances and internally generated funds are inadequate, we intend to further scale back expenditures while we seek other financing, which might include sales of equity securities that could dilute existing shareholders, or a sale of some of our assets, which may adversely affect our shareholders.

 

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 May 31, 2005, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partners, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose 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 and have incurred various contractual obligations and commercial commitments in our normal course of business. Such obligations and commitments consist primarily of the following:

 

Short-Term Debt

 

At May 31, 2005, we had $60,000 of short-term debt, with an annual interest rate of 5.5%, payable monthly, through July 2005.

 

Capital Lease Obligations

 

We have various capital lease obligations in connection with equipment purchases. Our current outstanding capital lease obligations of $229,000 relate to manufacturing and test equipment and are included as part of short-term or long-term debt of discontinued operations, as appropriate, within our balance sheet.

 

Operating Lease Obligations

 

We have an operating lease for our facilities with future minimum payments of $559,000 as of May 31, 2005.  The obligations accrue at the rate of approximately $24,000 per month.

 

Purchase Commitments with Contract Manufacturers

 

We generally issue purchase orders to our contract manufacturers with delivery dates from four to six weeks from the purchase order date. In addition, we regularly provide such contract manufacturers with

 

21



 

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 may in certain limited circumstances allow us to delay receipt of such orders or cancel orders beyond certain agreed lead times. Such cancellations, if any, may or may not result in cancellation costs payable by us. Cancellation without contractual permission to do so would result in additional potential losses, damages and costs.  In the past, we have been required to take delivery of materials from our suppliers that were in excess of our actual requirements at the time of delivery, and we have previously recognized charges and expenses related to such excess material. If we are unable to adequately manage our commitments to contract manufacturers and adjust such commitments for changes in demand, we may incur additional costs and expenses, including without limitation inventory expenses related to excess and obsolete inventory. Such costs and expenses could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

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.

 

 Severance Agreement Commitments

 

The Company is party to severance agreements with former employees and is obligated to continue payments on these agreements, with the latest obligation being due in December 2006. The balance due from these arrangements at May 31, 2005 is $837,000 in short-term obligations and $224,000 in long-term obligations. The severance agreements arose from the termination of the previous officers of DPAC during fiscal years 2005 and 2004 as highlighted below:

 

Severance of CEO—On December 18, 2003, the Company accepted the resignation of its CEO.  Pursuant to an employment agreement, the former CEO is entitled to salary and benefits totaling approximately $1,100,000 through June 2006.  The Company recorded a charge in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2004 associated with the severance benefits.  Approximately $186,000 of the charge related to the acceleration of stock options.  The remaining benefits are being paid ratably through June 2006.

 

Severance of COO and CFO—The Company also owes termination benefits pursuant to the employment agreements of the two other former officers of the Company who left the Company during fiscal 2005.  The Company recorded charges totaling $995,000 during fiscal 2005 related to these two former officers.  The benefits payable under the employment agreements are being paid ratably through December, 2006.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Among the significant estimates affecting our condensed financial statements are those relating to allowances for doubtful accounts, inventories, goodwill, deferred taxes, stock based compensation and revenue recognition.  We regularly evaluate our estimates and assumptions based upon historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  To the extent actual results differ from those estimates, our future results of operations may be affected.  Detailed information on these critical accounting policies is included under the section entitled “Critical Accounting Polices and Estimates” on pages 22 through 24 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2005. Management believes that as of May 31, 2005, there has been no material change to this information.

 

RISK FACTORS

 

Please read and consider all of the factors mentioned in the following pages.  We describe these factors because they could be very material to the Company’s results.  All of the beliefs and oral statements that we or our directors, officers or agents have made, make herein, or may hereafter make about the Company’s present or future prospects are hereby qualified in their entirety by the additional statement that each of these beliefs and statements is subject to material changes over time and at any time on account of each of these risks and uncertainties:

 

Potential Future Insufficiency of Capital and Financial Resources

 

We require additional financing to meet our ongoing obligations plans through to the end of the fiscal year ending February 28, 2006.  Despite intending to obtain it when needed, it may be unavailable when our liquid resources are at an end. Once we obtain financing, terms of the financing itself could have material adverse effects on the market price of the common stock.  Problems that we could encounter because of insufficient capital are numerous, but  include additional costs and expenses.  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.  Other costs may include relative inefficiencies or loss of productivity, which may be reflected in the financial results.  We could lose lenders, suppliers, vendors, key employees and service providers due to concerns about the Company’s liquidity.  Many costs and fees could become higher as the Company loses liquidity, and this could accelerate the Company’s cash consumption rate.  The combined effect of these problems could lead the Company to have to cease operations and/or file for bankruptcy protection.

 

Pending Agreement and Plan of Reorganization

 

Our plans for future financing and growth center around a transaction with QuaTech, Inc. We are

 

23



 

committed to the transaction, subject to certain conditions, pursuant to a binding written agreement. Although no assurance exists that we will complete the acquisition, we are continuing to incur substantial costs to attempt to complete the transaction, including but not limited to transaction costs.  Should the transaction be terminated, there are additional expenses and costs that we would also incur.  We plan to file a registration statement on Form S-4 in connection with the QuaTech, Inc. transaction and to combine that registration statement with our proxy statement for our annual shareholders’ meeting, which will among other things be held to consider whether to approve the transaction, which involves approving the issuance of shares of our authorized and unissued common stock for all the shares of QuaTech, Inc. and approving more shares, if necessary, for additional financing as described in the proxy statement.

 

Proposed Reclassification

 

Our plans include proposing to our shareholders certain actions, including our proposal to authorize a reverse stock split, in order to achieve compliance with Nasdaq listing requirements.  A reverse stock split will reduce the reported daily trading volume (in terms of number of shares) of our common stock in proportion to the split ratio.  A reverse stock split also will increase substantially the amount of shares of our common stock that are authorized and unissued, making additional shares available for future issuance by our Board of Directors without future shareholder vote.  The number of shares of authorized Common Stock (currently 40 million) will not change but the number of shares issued and outstanding (currently    million) will be reduced in proportion to the reverse split ratio.  Further, no assurance is intended that a reverse stock split will necessarily result in a full proportionate increase in the market price per share of reclassified common stock, and in fact there are numerous examples of reverse splits by other companies failing to maintain a full proportionate increase in the market price per share of the common stock.

 

Product Development and Technological Change

 

We are part of the wireless industry, which is characterized by rapid technological change.  As a result, wireless products may have a product life of not more than one to three years.  Our industry is highly competitive with respect to timely product innovation, performance, time to market, and other characteristics necessary to succeed in the industry. Our products are subject to price erosion and sometimes charges for obsolescence because competitors are continuously introducing technologies with equal or greater capacity as compared with the technology we employ.

 

Any success we hope to have in the long-term will depend on our ability to keep up with technological advances and to meet customers demands by developing new wireless products and product enhancements continually.  We would incur additional operating costs along with the development, manufacture and introduction of new products.  Our cash resources require us to prioritize expenditures; and, therefore, from time to time, we may forsake and have actually forsaken a major portion or all of our development of future products in favor of more immediate needs.  We hope to improve our financial condition by raising additional capital in the future so that we can adequately anticipate and respond to technological developments and customer requirements for product development, firmware or software development, or adoption of newer wireless technologies, any of which independently or in combination could have material adverse effects on any revenues we hope we can achieve.

 

There can be no assurance that we will be successful in planned product development or marketing efforts, nor that we will obtain enough financial resources for the efforts we hope to exert, nor that we .  We presently do not have adequate financial or technical resources for as much product development and promotion as will be needed to sustain us in the long-term.

 

Uncertainty of Market Acceptance or Profitability of New Products

 

The introduction of new products, such as our product 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

 

24



 

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 will be granting credit to customers in a variety of commercial industries.  Credit is extended based on an evaluation of the customer’s 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.

 

The model for accounts receivable for wireless customers may change to a larger customer base and smaller average receivables.  Although we have a significant customer, many of our receivables may come from smaller, higher risk development companies.

 

Intellectual Property Rights

 

Our ability to compete effectively is dependent on our proprietary know-how, technology and patent rights. We have applied for additional patents in the wireless area. There can be no assurance that our patent applications will be approved, that any issued patents will afford our products any competitive advantage or that any of our products will not be challenged or circumvented by third parties, or that patents issued to others will not adversely affect the sales, development or commercialization of our present or future products.

 

We are involved from time to time in claims and litigation over intellectual property rights, which may adversely affect our ability to manufacture and sell our products.

 

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, 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

 

25



 

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 New Product Introduction

 

Successful introduction of our products 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 any resultant growth effectively, we will have to continue to implement and improve our operational, financial and management information systems, procedures and controls. 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 this process 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, if any, is excluded or inadequate.

 

Variability of Gross Margin

 

Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 21% for fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2005 as compared to 11% for the fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2004.  The change in the gross margins can be attributed to the volume of products sold.

 

26



 

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. The selling prices of our products may decline depending upon the price changes of our cost of sales, which would have a material adverse effect on our net sales and could, have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation.

 

We also expect that our business may experience significant seasonality to the extent it sells a material portion of our products in Europe (due to vacation cycles) and to the extent our exposure to the wireless market remains significant.

 

Our average sales prices have historically declined, and we anticipate that the average sales prices for our products will continue to decline and could negatively impact our gross profit margins.

 

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

 

In fiscal year 2005, approximately 15% of our sales were export sales, primarily to Canada and Western Europe as compared to 12% in fiscal year 2004 and none for 2003. Foreign sales are made in U.S. dollars. The increase was primarily due to the wireless product being available for sale and new customers overseas. 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 increased 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.

 

Limited Experience in Business Combinations or Acquisitions

 

We are pursuing a strategy of acquiring additional companies or businesses.  We are in the process of one transaction.  We may pursue selective acquisitions to complement our internal growth. If the present transaction closes, we will issue stock that would dilute our shareholders’ percentage ownership, incur substantial debt, assume contingent liabilities, and use other company assets available at the time of acquisition. If and when we make any future combinations or acquisitions, we could do so again. 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 company’s 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 one contract manufacturer exposes us to risks of excess inventory or inventory carrying costs.

 

If our contract manufacturer is 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 a contract manufacturer, our ability to directly control the use of all inventory is reduced since we do not have full operating control over their operations. If we are unable to accurately forecast demand for our contract manufacturer and manage the costs associated with our contract manufacturer, we may be required to pay inventory carrying costs or purchase excess inventory. If we or our contract manufacturer 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.

 

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 to Impair Value of Investment

 

We need to raise additional capital.  Our potential means to raise capital potentially include public or private equity offerings or debt financings. Our present financial condition mandates that we obtain additional financing for the sake of continuing operations until our revenues from operations have grown.

 

29



 

We need to obtain financing in connection with QuaTech, Inc. to complete that transaction.  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. If we cannot raise needed funds on acceptable terms, we would not be able to complete our transaction with QuaTech, Inc. and shall not be able to continue developing or enhancing our products, taking advantage of future opportunities or responding to competitive pressures or unanticipated requirements. 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, we would incur additional interest expenses that would reduce earnings and cash flow per share of the Company.  Also, any plans to borrow money and repay that debt later are usually 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 company’s debt coverage costs are excessive, its equity can lose value for reasons including a decline in creditworthiness.

 

Geographic Concentration of Operation

 

For the wireless products none of our manufacturing operations are located in our facility in Garden Grove, California. Our wireless product line is manufactured overseas in Taiwan, with some contract manufacturing conducted locally. Due to the geographic concentration, a disruption of the 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 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.

 

DPAC’s 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 results of operations of DPAC could be materially and adversely affected.

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.  We have reserved a total of 1,480,292 shares for issuance upon exercise of outstanding, unexpired 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 warrant’s 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.

 

An additional factor that independently affects the common stock is a potential future adjustment to certain outstanding warrants that, until such provision expires by its own terms on May 5, 2009 will be adjusted to that lower exercise price if we sell stock; however, the number of shares purchasable with the warrant is constant.  For example, there are presently 730,794 shares purchasable at $1.235 each under those warrants; but if we were to sell shares of common stock (except in certain instances defined as excluded issuances) at, for instance, $0.40 each, the warrants would become warrants to purchase 730,794 shares at $0.40 each.  The adjustments can reduce the warrants’ exercise price but not increase it.

 

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 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

The Company invests excess cash in money market funds. Money market funds do not have maturity dates and do not present a material market risk.  Also our debt instruments, consisting principally of capital lease agreements, were based on fixed interest rates; and therefore for the three-month period

 

31



 

covered by this Report, interest expense was not sensitive to any changes in the general level of United States interest rates.

 

ITEM 4.  Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.  The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in the Company’s Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only partial assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

 

As of May 31, 2005, the end of the quarter covered by this report, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and  operation  of  the  Company’s  disclosure  controls  and  procedures  as  required  by SEC Rule 13a – 15(b). Based on the foregoing, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

 

Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1 - Legal Proceedings

 

We are or could be subject to various legal proceedings and threatened legal proceedings from time to time as part of the conduct of our business. We believe we are not currently party to any material legal proceedings nor aware of any threatened material legal proceedings, the adverse outcome of which, individually or in the aggregate, 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 management’s attention from our operations. Such costs and diversions could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

ITEM 2  -  Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

 

On April 26, 2005, we entered into an agreement and plan of reorganization with QuaTech, Inc. that restricts us from paying any dividends on our common stock.
