Item 5: Other Information
Simtek Corporation released the following press release dated May 4, 2001,
titled "Simtek Reports Record Revenues, Strong Backlog, Despite Industry
Slowdown":
SIMTEK REPORTS RECORD REVENUES, STRONG BACKLOG, DESPITE INDUSTRY SLOWDOWN
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado - May 4, 2001 - Simtek Corporation, provider of high
performance nonvolatile memory and logic integrated circuits, announced
financial results for the first quarter ending March 31, 2001.
"We are extremely pleased that our core business was able to grow substantially
year to year and in sequential quarters. Simtek took an aggressive posture last
year to establish our market position with strategic customers by giving them
our best support, while not taking an unfair pricing advantage when materials
were in short supply," stated Douglas Mitchell, Simtek's president and CEO.
"This approach allowed Simtek to establish strong relationships in applications
that continue to grow rapidly in the marketplace. Simtek maintains previously
forecasted growth exceeding 60% and expects significant increases in earnings
going forward. Now, as materials are becoming readily available and our volumes
continue to increase, we'll be able to improve our cost basis throughout this
year. We're also looking to hire additional engineering staff to accelerate our
product development. With all that's been accomplished in the past twelve months
we really look forward to what we can do over the next couple of years."
The company posted total revenues of $4,331,721, including $3,975,104 from
Simtek operations and $356,617 from Q-DOT operations. In March of 2001 Simtek
completed the acquisition of Q-DOT Group, Inc. using the "pooling of interest"
form of accounting. Summary financial statements will now report the results of
the combined company for current and historical records.
Pro Forma revenues from Simtek operations in 1Q01 of $3,975,104, were 58% higher
than $2,513,393 posted in the first quarter of 2000 and 36% higher than
$2,929,978 posted in the fourth quarter of 2000. Pro Forma revenues from Q-DOT
operations in 1Q01 of $356,617 were down from $923,632 for the same period in
2000 and approximately flat from $387,268 in the fourth quarter of 2000.
Unusual expenses were incurred in the first quarter of 2001, consisting of
$258,000 for amortized costs related to investor relations services performed by
two investment bank firms and $263,000 of legal, auditing and labor costs
associated with the acquisition of Q-DOT. The amortization of investor relations
services will continue through September 2001.
