The Company posted total revenues of $4,105,613 for the third quarter of 2001, compared to $3,374,164 for the same period in 2000. Revenue for the first nine months was $13,170,094, up from $11,097,168 in 2000. All financial reporting for years 2000 and 2001 includes the combined results of Simtek and its recent acquisitions of Integrated Logic Systems, Inc., Macrotech Semiconductor and Q-DOT Group Inc. The Company reported a $425,392 loss from operations for the third quarter, which includes unusual expenses of $214,833 for amortized costs related to investor relations services performed by two investment bank firms. Additionally, $143,000 of inventory valuation write-downs reflecting lower production costs and a reserve of $100,000 against future costs of logic products were taken in the third quarter. Inventory levels were improved from $2,343,497 at the end of the second quarter to $1,604,769 at the end of the third quarter and accounts payable were lowered from $1,858,535 to $946,643 over the same period, reflecting favorable balance sheet changes. "We remain fully committed to growing our business through product expansions and market penetration," stated Douglas Mitchell, Simtek's president and CEO. "Simtek has accomplished top-line growth while developing infrastructure to carry us into the future, when vast segments of our industry have shown declining revenues. With our recent addition of Don Carrigan to our top Sales and Marketing position and our co-development contract with Amkor Technologies to install Simtek's SONOS process in their quarter micron wafer fabrication line, we have taken major steps towards preparing for the next industry growth cycle. I strongly believe that companies who prepare now when business is toughest will best be able to take advantage of the upturn when it comes. Simtek is making those preparations and will be well positioned for new opportunities." -2- FINANCIAL RESULTS Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended ------------------ ----------------- Sept 30 Sept 30 ------- ------- 2001 2000 2001 2000 ----- ----- ----- ---- Net Sales $4,105,613 $3,374,164 $13,170,094 $11,097,168 Cost of Sales 2,931,461 2,086,531 9,085,025 6,584,396 Gross Margin 1,174,152 1,287,633 4,085,069 4,512,772 Total Operating Expenses 1,599,544 5,637,681 5,116,184 7,990,852 Income (loss) from Operations (425,392) (4,350,048) (1,031,115) (3,478,080) Other Income (Expense) 6,262 44,993 54,927 20,085 Equity in Losses of Q-DOT Acoustics and - (23,979) (4,631) (70,895) Write-off of Related Advances Net Income (Loss) before Taxes (419,130) (4,329,034) (980,819) (3,528,890) Provision for income taxes - - - (44,000) Net Income (Loss) (419,130) (4,329,034) (980,819) (3,572,890) Basic and diluted earnings per share (.01) (.09) (.02) (.08) Basic and diluted shares outstanding 53,701,538 48,625,953 53,679,465 46,564,041 Simtek Corporation delivers fast re-programmable nonvolatile semiconductor memories and cost-effective FPGA to ASIC conversions.
