    4.0 Market Analysis Summary

    The MArket for our products will be mainly the African states, beginning with Nigeria, Kenyaand South Africa, later extending to other African countries.

    A further possibility is to send a few samples to Education Institutions where laptop ownershipwill be high, once the covers are seen as fashionable then this should attract further sales.

    4.3 Industry Analysis

    The computer accessories Industry is well developed in the Western World, whilst in Africa thetrend of purchasing add ons for computers and mobile phones is yet to be fully established.

    The conditions in African countries lend themselves to our products perfectly.

    The sometimes dusty conditions in transport are conducive to protecting any largeelectronic investment.

    The low cost of our accessories are affordable improvements to existing hardware. Our accessories can be purchased on the net, inside African Countries.

    8.0 Financial Plan

    It is assumed that the owner's private resources will be sufficient to finance any monthly cash-flow shortage. However, it would be advisable to establish a bank relationship as soon aspossible. Sales could very well increase at a much sharper rate than assumed in theseconservative projections. Sharper sales will result in a greater need for funds in support of

    inventory and receivables. An over-draft line of credit of $10,000-15,000 would be an excellentcushion to fall back on.
