Safe Harbor Statements

*  The customer may at any time, for any reason, cancel their order and have their deposit returned.  Electra Meccanica does not consider any order as being secured until the vehicle has been delivered and full receipt of the remaining balance of the vehicle purchase price has been received.

**  The order value figures assume that the Company will have the manufacturing capability of producing the required number of SOLOs and Tofinos to satisfy such order numbers which, if Electra Meccanica is not able to guarantee, such future manufacturing capability and actual results may differ materially from those anticipated.  It is also presently expected that any large scale production of either the SOLO or the Tofino will be the result of a long-term joint venture or similar relationship which the Company continues to work on formally establishing.
