In-house production means: Your product stays in our facility from raw idea or material to fi nal disposition. Why is this important? We eliminate the middle man! Therefore, we can produce at a lower cost, deliver in a quicker turn around, and complete with a message of unparalleled quality and service.

Instead of relying on several dozen vendors, GoldenROM does it all. We then have those unused resources to employ inward, instead of having to constantly deal with outside vendors who generally are prone to higher pricing, late delivery, and questionable quality.

Are we the low cost leader? No. Well at least, not on purpose. Instead, our prices refl ect the care and diligence that goes into making sure that every component of your masterpiece leaves our facilities in world class condition!

In a nutshell, You can depend on GoldenROM! We get it right.

GoldenROM aims to “set the standard” for ethical business conduct. We will achieve this through six virtues: Honesty, Integrity, Respect, Trust, Responsibility, and Citizenship.

Honesty: to be truthful in all our endeavors; to be honest and forthright with one another and with our customers, communities, suppliers, and shareholders.

Integrity: to say what we mean, to deliver what we promise, and to stand for what is right.

Respect: to treat one another with dignity and fairness, appreciating the diversity of our workforce and the uniqueness of each team member.

Trust: to build confi dence through teamwork and open, candid communication.

Responsibility: to speak up - without fear of retribution - and report concerns in the work place, including violations of laws, regulations and company policies, and seek clarifi cation and guidance whenever there is doubt.

Citizenship: to obey all the laws of the United States and the other countries in which we do business and to do our part to make the communities in which we live better.

You can count on us to do everything in our power to meet GoldenROM’s standards. We are counting on you to do the same. We are confi dent that our trust in you is well placed and we are determined to be worthy of your confi dence.

In a very short time period, GoldenROM, Inc. has enjoyed tremendous success. We can attribute our success to the following:

• Marketing: Dealing with channel problems and barriers to entry; or solving problems with major advertising and promotion budgets.

• Product quality: GoldenROM’s duplication lab has run error free for nearly 5 years of operation. We do not ship product if there exists the slightest amount of defect.

• Management: Products delivered on time, costs controlled, marketing budgets managed. There is a temptation to fi x on growth at the expense of profi ts.

• Diverse Menu of Services: It is necessary to provide our customers and potential clients a complete turnkey solution.

• Quick Turn Around: Today’s software developer wants Just-in-Time (JIT) manufacturing. In order to provide this, it is necessary to process orders quickly and accurately.

• Competitive Pricing: GoldenROM constantly monitors products and services of its competitors and gauges what the market can bear. While we do not price gouge, we do price our services fairly and competitively.

GoldenROM has been nominated for the Fortune 500 Fastest Growing Companies in the U.S. and our CEO, DC Signorini, has been nominated for Entreprenuer of the Year for 1999, 2000 and 2002.

GoldenROM Mission Statement

Our Success

“I received my order and everything looks Great! Thanks SO much for everything, you were really helpfull throughout the whole proccess. Tell your boss you need a raise, says me! Thanks again.” -- Logan Kendell, Musician

Page 6: CB 03 1 - SBContract€¦ · of DVD(DVD-5 DVD-9 DVD-10, DVD-18), CDROM Replication, CDR Duplication (Both CDROM and CD AUDIO), and DVD Authoring/ Multimedia Encoding Services. GoldenROM

Although GoldenROM is considered to be the most quality driven fi rm on the east coast, we believe that everyone has room to improve. In the summer of 1998, we hired a Supervisor for Quality & Customer Satisfaction. This “Quality Czar” position helps GoldenROM be even more systematic and successful about how we manage for and deliver quality to our customers.

GoldenROM’s approach to quality begins with understanding client’s needs and expectations in general, and in particular on a job by job basis. These expectations would pertain to all aspects of the job: such as pre-press, duplication, labeling, printing, binding, shipping, and even accounting tasks.

Before jobs are accepted, GoldenROM personnel work with clients to fully understand their requirements and to be sure that those requirements can be met. The requirements are then communicated among all personnel involved in satisfying that job, and it is understood that when anything is unclear, people ask questions rather than make assumptions.

Throughout the production of the job, clients are fully involved and approve such aspects as proofs, verifi cation masters, press sheets, and samples before any further processing is done. In this way satisfaction is almost guaranteed.

Key processes are monitored throughout the company for ways to improve consistency, effi ciency and value to clients. Quality Assurance personnel, for example, assist the duplication, assembly, and fulfi llment areas to monitor key quality variables such as data integrity, component piece accuracy, and accurate shipment methods.

In addition, key external and internal indicators of performance have been developed for the overall company and for individual departments as part of the quality planning process, and these are monitored and reviewed regularly to identify opportunities for improvement. As such, opportunities are identifi ed, appropriate personnel are involved and actions developed with corresponding responsibilities and schedules for implementation.

Management is actively involved in the quality process and formally reviews progress in improving performance on a monthly basis. Where appropriate to ensure consistency, procedures are developed, written, and implemented.

Statistical process controls monitor production and provide valuable performance data for continuous process improvements. Our assembly procedures are clearly defi ned and documented in accordance with ISO 9002 Quality Management Systems.

Our strict control measure provides for Continuous Improvement, Client Satisfaction, Team Building, and Business Planning.

Quality

“IONA had been utilizing a variety of local printers to burn CD’s and print or silk screen the CD’s labels. Golden ROM had approached IONA about the variety of products and services that they offered, all at a cost that was allowed for greater savings. To date, IONA has done four different projects with GoldenROM and the product quality and service levels have far exceeded IONA’s initial expectations.” -- IONA

Tradition

Whenever we are looking to use the latest that technology has to offer we now turn to GoldenROM for all of our needs. They offer the ‘Right Price at The Right Time’ everytime.” -- Judge.com

New technologies are great, but only as effective as the people who operate them. With each new capability, GoldenROM provides its employees with the education and training necessary for effi cient and effective implementation.

OPTICS, which stands for Online Production Tracking and Inventory Control System, was developed by GoldenROM, Inc. for its clients to allow the viewing of real time production information by the client, for the client.

Developed 100% in house by GoldenROM’s software engineers, the real-time order tracking module allows customers to log in to GoldenROM’s secure SQL server and browse past and present production orders and their statuses within the operation of GoldenROM’s production process.

OPTICS is unique in that the system ties in several of GoldenROM’s production software modules to deliver to the client production data in real-time. No other company in the CDROM industry offers such comprehensive real-time job monitoring.

Given a secure login, the client can have access to up-to-the-minute order specifi cs like job status, job progress, billing, and tracking information. The OPTICS system ties in with both UPS and FEDEX tracking systems to provide the client with exact information about the job and its routing.

OPTICS offers point and click functionality over the web using Internet Explorer and Netscape. Because it is web based, no client side software is needed. Once given a login account, the client then has the ability to add secondary accounts for fellow staff members to use the system if necessary.

OPTICS: The GoldenROM Advantage

GoldenROM’s highly skilled, experienced work force is a primary reason for the Company’s ability to consistently produce exceptional quality work under tight time constraints.

In addition, GoldenROM’s work force has demonstrated the ability to effectively respond to various last minute customer modifi cations and unexpected changes while delivering the fi nal product on time.

We promote from within. This ensures that the knowledge base and skillset we have worked hard to attain is kept within our ranks.

And, when we need to look outside of the company for new team members, GoldenROM screens each applicant thoroughly to ensure that we recruit only the fi nest individuals.

Nearly 72% of all software distributed in the United States is done so through the East Coast distribution channel. That is why companies as far away as Seattle, Washington choose to use GoldenROM, Inc. as its Software Manufacturing Facility. Companies such as this save money (not having to ship completed HEAVY product to the major distribution warehouses) and save time (not having to wait for the product to ship across the country.)

By placing total turnkey orders with GoldenROM, software clients can enjoy an extra 2 to 3 day cushion added to their already tight delivery times.

GoldenROM’s International Sales Headquarters is located in Southwestern Pennsylvania, aproximately 17 miles south of Pittsburgh. The region enjoys a strong technical base of talent due in part to Carnegie Mellon University and its School of Computer Science and has been the home of more Fortune 500 companies than any other city in the USA.
