Directors and management of DCT believe that the current market value of our
stock which trades below book value, does not appropriately reflect the true
value of the Company and its future potential. The Warrant distribution
expresses the desire of the Company to reward its current shareholders should
the market price for the shares of DCT's common stock return to historical
levels".
