Disclaimer Statement
API Technologies Corp. (“API Technologies” or the “Company”) makes no express or implied representation or warranty as to the
accuracy or completeness of the information contained in this presentation or in any additional evaluation materials, whether written
or oral, made available in connection with any further investigation of the Company. The Company expressly disclaims any and all
liability that may be based on such information, errors therein or omissions therefrom. In furnishing this presentation, the Company
makes no obligation to provide the recipient with access to any additional evaluation materials or to update the information contained
herein. This presentation shall neither be deemed an indication of the state of affairs of the Company nor constitute an indication that
there has been no change in the business affairs of the Company since the date hereof or since the dates as of which information is
given in this presentation.
This presentation is proprietary and confidential and may not be reproduced or distributed to others at any time without API
Technologies’ prior written consent.
This presentation may include certain forward looking statements and projections. Any such statements and projections reflect various
estimates and assumptions concerning anticipated results. No representations or warranties are made by the Company or any of its
affiliates or representatives as to the accuracy of any such statements or projections. Whether or not any such forward looking
statements or projections are in fact achieved will depend upon future events, many of which are not within the Company’s control.
Accordingly, actual results may vary from the projected results and such variations may be material. Some of the factors that could
affect projected results are included in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Any statements
contained herein describing documents and agreements are summaries only and are qualified in their entirety by reference to such
documents and agreements.
In addition, this presentation sets forth certain pro forma financial information. This pro forma financial information gives effect to the
Company’s acquisition of Spectrum Control, Inc. (“Spectrum Control”) as well as certain other recently completed acquisitions,
including the acquisition of SenDEC Corporation  (“SenDEC”). Such pro forma financial information is based on certain assumptions
and adjustments and does not purport to present API Technologies’ actual results of operations or financial condition had the
transactions reflected in such pro forma financial information occurred at the beginning of the relevant period, in the case of income
statement information, or at the end of such period, in the case of balance sheet information, nor is it necessarily indicative of the
results of operations that may be achieved in the future. In addition, the assumptions underlying certain pro forma financial
information reflect projected cost savings. API Technologies’ ability to achieve these cost savings will depend upon the Company’s
success in implementing cost reduction plans and in integrating Spectrum Control into its business. API Technologies cannot make
any assurances that these cost savings will be realized within the time frames expected or at all, and the Company may incur
unexpected costs in integrating Spectrum Control that offset these expected cost savings.
