As you probably have read or heard by now, DataCard Corporation
has sought a temporary restraining order enjoining Deluxe Check
Printers, Inc. and National Com uter Systems, Inc. from
effecting the sale of 38% of Da aCard stock. Because of the
uncertainty created by the pending acquisition by National
Computer, the satellite/feeder lant project we have been
pursuing the past eight months as been placed on "hold"
until such time as this issue is resolved.
We are unhappy about the delay in the satellite project caused
by these events... events that w re unforeseen. We hope that
the matter will be resolved exp ditiously and that the
project can go forward.
As soon as events pennit, I wi 1 1 1 et you know of any changes
in the status of the project. gain, at this time the project
is on "hold".
Thank you for your continuing c operation.
Sincerely,
