SDC has as a shareholder and partner for this aquisition: SDC shareholder, Harbour and Associates, Inc. the prominent Detroit-based automotive manufacturing and management/consulting firm, has become a Strategic Partner with SDC in its pending acquisition of Czech truck manufacturer, Tatra.

Their client list includes BMW, Ford Motor Company, DaimlerChrysler, General Motors, Fiat, Toyota and many others. Harbour is also the publisher of The Harbour Report, the highly recognized analysis of manufacturing in the North American and European automotive industry... About Tatra: (from press release) 98 revenues US 240 mil assets US 190 mil 6,000 workers 2,000 trucks anuually Business plan to turn company around into internationally recognized automotive co. Has joined SDC International strategic board just recently: 1. "Dennis K. Pawley, known as the manufacturing czar who helped Chrysler Corp. become Detroit's most efficient automaker, has joined SDC as a Strategic Board Advisor.Most recently the Executive Vice President of North American manufacturing for DaimlerChrysler AG as well as a member of its Board of Management, Pawley came to Chrysler in 1989 after positions over 34 years with General Motors, Mazda and United Technologies. Pawley tailored the Japanese-style system to American workers and his system became known as the Chrysler Operating System, receiving accolades worldwide. Pawley's systems were largely responsible for Chrysler's turnaround, which included double-digit annual increases in both productivity and profits, a result which SDC hopes to bring to Tatra's operations." 2. "Richard Donnelly, who retired March 31st as President of General Motors Europe, has joined SDC International's management team as a Strategic Board Advisor. Donnelly is, also, a shareholder of SDC. Donnelly had responsibility for GM's vehicle business in Europe with annual revenues of $25 billion, 80,000 employees producing in 11 countries and selling 1.9 million vehicles annually in 42 countries throughout Western, Central and Eastern Europe.

THE BEST PART (from press release) SDC International is a publicly-traded U.S.-based company founded to manufacture, finance and globally distribute high-quality industrial and transportation products manufactured in former Communist countries. Upon the acquisition closing and consolidation of financial statements, SDC would be one of the few Bulletin Board stocks to rapidly qualify for the larger U.S. exchanges. Tanslation: IMO potential much higher stock price short term and very good long term investment. (provided everything falls into place for these guys)...anyway I think a very interesting story... All facts and figures were the best I could put together and may not be completely accurate. Lets hope this company does it. Huge potential here. Cray
