NDCA Board of Directors
NDC Automation, Inc.
3101 Latrobe Drive
Charlotte, NC 28211
Gentlemen:
I truly do regret to inform each of you that I am not going to be able to serve
on the Board of Directors of NDC Automation, Inc. I have found that I simply
cannot give the time necessary to be an effective board member. My schedule, my
work load and especially my work with the courts does not allow me as much
flexibility as I would like. It is no one's fault but my own, because I have
chosen this particular type of work. I believe it is in my best interest and the
best interest of NDC Automation, Inc. if I resign effective immediately so that
the Board of Directors can seek a replacement. I would not be available for this
week's board meeting because I received a subpoena on Friday to appear in court
beginning tomorrow. I have no control over the court schedule.
I am very interested in NDC Automation, Inc.'s future, and I will stay abreast
of NDC activities at least through my stock ownership. I apologize for putting
the board in a bind and I do recognize the need for an additional outside board
member. However, my obligations to my own schedule and my own business have
simply taken the time that I had available to serve on the NDC Board. I will be
discussing my decision with you, and I wish you all well and much success in
bringing NDC back to a profitable and valuable company.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Randy Whitt
T. Randolph Whitt, CPA
