This news release contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicable securities laws, including statements regarding Route1’s investment plans, financial outlook and future financial performance. Words such as “expects”, “anticipates” and “intends” or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. 

These forward-looking statements are based on Route1’s current projections and expectations about future events and financial trends that management believes might affect its financial condition, operations, results of operations, business strategy, prospects and financial needs, and on certain assumptions and analysis made by Route1 in light of the experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments and other factors management believes are appropriate. These projections, expectations, assumptions and analyses are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that could cause actual results, performance, events and achievements to differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements. Although Route1 believes that the assumptions underlying these forward-looking statements are reasonable, they may prove to be incorrect, and readers cannot be assured that actual results will be consistent with these forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from historical results and from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of numerous factors, including certain risk factors, many of which are beyond Route1’s control, including but not limited to: (i) expected cash position; (ii) integration of acquisitions; (iii) timing of hardware based sales and related payments; (iv) ability to fulfil orders; (v) ability to capitalize on opportunities and to realize synergies across product lines; (vi) the costs and expected results of the patent litigation process initiated by Route1; (vii) exchange rate fluctuations; (ix) historical results not being indicative of future results, (x) expected profit margins, and (xii) other one-time events and other important factors disclosed previously and from time to time in Route1’s public filings with the securities commissions or similar securities regulatory authorities in each of the provinces or territories of Canada. The forward-looking statements contained in this news release represent Route1’s expectations as of the date of this news release, or as of the date they are otherwise stated to be made, and subsequent events may cause these expectations to change.
