ROMDATA's unique features and opportunities are essential for understanding its potential for success.  The Company has family contacts at Convergence International which it has used to secure the exclusive supplier arrangement it has with CI.  The Carpassian market for computer equipment is growing and underserved.  Through its relationship with CI, ROMDATA can profit from this market opportunity by satisfying that demand. 

Convergence International, headed by Mr. Muk Raker, consists of three graduates of the Polytechnic Institute in Maincity, Carpassia.  These men are electrical engineering experts who specialize in computer hardware, and have extensive knowledge of computer software as well.  They are capable of fully assembling computers, attaching peripherals (both internal and external), and customizing software.  Their computer hardware and software knowledge is advanced, and they have established contacts in government agencies who recognize their expertise.  These government agencies have a strong demand for Western computer equipment and are looking to Convergence International to meet that demand.  ROMDATA will supply the needed computer equipment to CI.  The two companies have agreed to split net profits from any business transactions on a 60/40 basis (with ROMDATA receiving 60% of the profits). 

Convergence International has already received a large order from the Carpassian Department of Energy.  ROMDATA will supply the equipment for that order and can begin operations with an order backlog already in place.

Leif Raker, director of sales at ROMDATA, is Muk Raker’s son.  Leif Raker has extensive business contacts in Carpassia.  He studied  in the United States and received his Ph.D. in Transportation Engineering from USA University in 1973.  From 1974 - 1988 he worked for Carpassia's transit department as the director of international trade.  In 19xx, he joined ROMDATA’s sales department.  Mr. Raker has traveled around the world putting together import and export deals.  His contacts in the Carpassian trade office will facilitate the flow of computer equipment into the country.  In addition, he has many international contacts throughout Eastern Europe.  These contacts will be useful if ROMDATA decides to expand outside of Carpassia.

In Carpassia, as in many former communists nations, making professional contacts is difficult, and trying to compete with a company who already has those contacts is almost impossible.  Leif Raker’s involvement with ROMDATA will facilitate conducting business in Carpassia which will give the Company a unique competitive advantage. 

ROMDATA also has the advantage of its U.S. operations.  ROMDATA has had a 15 year relationship with Zell Computing, one of the largest American computer manufacturers.  Zell is interested in expanding internationally and ROMDATA’s business opportunity provides a way of doing that.  Zell has agreed to allow ROMDATA to sell its full line of computer equipment and peripherals to Convergence International.  In addition, Zell has agreed to let ROMDATA privately brand the computer equipment it sells internationally.  ROMDATA will continue to sell Zell’s products to the American market.
