Note 1. Organization and Nature of Business

 

Since 1967, Dataram Corporation (“Dataram” or the “Company”) has been an independent manufacturer and reseller of memory products and provider of performance solutions. The Company provides customized memory solutions for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and compatible memory for leading brands including Cisco, Dell, Fujitsu, HP, IBM, Lenovo and Oracle as well as a line of memory products for Intel and AMD motherboard based servers.  Dataram manufactures its memory in-house to meet three key criteria - quality, compatibility, and selection - and tests its memory for performance and original equipment manufacturer (OEM) compatibility as part of the production process.  With memory designed for over 50,000 systems and with products that range from energy-efficient DDR4 modules to legacy SDR offerings.  The Company is a CMTL Premier Participant and ISO 9001 (2008 Certified). Its products are fully compliant with JEDEC Specifications.

 

Dataram’s customers include an international network of distributors, resellers, retailers, OEM customers and end users.

 

Dataram competes with several other large independent memory manufacturers and the OEMs noted above.  The primary raw material used in producing memory boards is dynamic random access memory (DRAM) chips. The purchase cost of DRAMs is the largest single component of the total cost of a finished memory board. Consequently, average selling prices for computer memory boards are significantly dependent on the pricing and availability of DRAM chips.
