I wouldn't be surprised if Cypress eventually buys all of Simtek if their product pans out in the coming Qs.
Maybe Doug heard those rumors and was not for it and step down to consult in lieu of quitting.
Just my conjectures and I do feel Simtek is now poised to do well in the coming Qs.
Good luck to you and gooooooooooo SRAM!

Simtek Corporation Accelerates Vesting for Stock Options
via COMTEX
May 10, 2005
Move Will Reduce Company's Reported Compensation Expense Over Next Three Years
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., May 10, 2005 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ --
Simtek Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: SRAM), a global provider of advanced nonvolatile semiconductor memory products, today announced that on May 3, 2005, the Company accelerated vesting of certain unvested and out-of-the-money stock options previously awarded to employees and officers. Because the price of Simtek's common stock was $0.57 on May 3, 2005, the options, which are exercisable at $0.62 and above, had no economic value on the date of acceleration. As a result of the acceleration, options to purchase approximately 1.7 million shares of Simtek common stock are now exercisable. Options held by non-employee directors were excluded from the vesting acceleration.
Under the recently revised Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 123, "Share-Based Payment," Simtek will apply the expense recognition provisions relating to stock options beginning in the first quarter of 2006. As a result of the acceleration, the Company expects to reduce the stock option expense it otherwise would be required to record by approximately $506,000 in 2006, $215,000 in 2007, and $14,000 in 2008 on a pre-tax basis.

Simtek Announces $4.0 Million Common Stock Investment by Cypress to Co-Develop Advanced Nonvolatile Memory Technology
Friday May 6, 9:00 am ET
Companies Will Share Costs to Create Next-Generation SONOS Process for 0.13-Micron Embedded Applications
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., May 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Simtek Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: SRAM - News), a global provider of advanced nonvolatile semiconductor memory products, and Cypress Semiconductor Corporation (NYSE: CY - News) today announced a comprehensive agreement to jointly develop a 0.13-micron Silicon-Oxide-Nitride-Oxide-Silicon (SONOS) nonvolatile memory process. Simtek will use the technology to produce a family of 4 Mbit nvSRAM and Value-Added-Memory (VAM) products while Cypress plans to use it in a wide variety of devices including its next-generation PSoC(TM) programmable mixed signal arrays. Initial products are scheduled for 2006.
ADVERTISEMENT
Under the agreement Cypress will invest $4.0 million in 6,740,816 shares of Simtek common stock. Simtek will use the proceeds primarily to support the 0.13-micron process and product developments. Simtek and Cypress will work together to add the SONOS nonvolatile capability to Cypress's baseline CMOS process, which is in production at its Minnesota wafer fabrication plant. Both Simtek and Cypress will develop independent, non-competing products to be manufactured on the process, with each company benefiting from manufacturing efficiencies driven by their combined volumes.
"We are highly motivated to add SONOS to our 0.13-micron line," said T.J. Rodgers, Cypress's president and CEO. "Over several years of development at Cypress, the SONOS process has proven to be robust, manufacturable and cost- effective. This new relationship with Simtek enables both companies to share experience, intellectual property and development costs to bring a wide range of products to market more quickly while improving production efficiencies."
"Simtek is very excited to engage with a company of Cypress's stature and capabilities," stated Douglas Mitchell, Simtek's president and CEO. "We have excellent engineering and production relationships with our other manufacturing partners, including, Chartered Semiconductor and DongbuAnam Semiconductor. This new relationship with Cypress achieves the 'next-step' in Simtek's ability to deliver a wide range of high performance products to the marketplace. With Cypress's support and endorsement of SONOS technology, we believe that the broad market will grow larger and more rapidly."
Mitchell added that the relationship with Cypress is expected to lead to an extended range of products beyond the 0.8- and 0.25-micron products already in production. "By increasing the range of densities and performance options, we'll continue to grow our ability to serve broader and larger markets," he said. "Revenues are expected to grow with our existing processes in the foreseeable future, while the addition of 0.13-micron technology supports 4 Mbit nvSRAMs, a family of Value-Added-Memory variants and the potential for innovative new architectures. It's too early to make specific revenue projections, but we consider the Cypress relationship and the capability to offer a complete family of products to be major milestones in Simtek's ability to develop markets."
Cypress is a leading developer of SONOS and has used the technology in its PSoC Programmable System on Chip(TM) devices for several years. The technology is noted for low-cost, non-volatile elements that integrate well with advanced CMOS technologies, enabling low-cost, high-performance reprogrammable products. Cypress's PSoC devices are configurable mixed signal arrays that integrate a fast 8-bit microcontroller with many peripheral functions typically found in an embedded design. PSoC devices provide the advantages of an ASIC without the ASIC NRE or turnaround time. A single PSoC device can integrate as many as 100 peripheral functions with a microcontroller, saving customers design time, board space and power consumption. Customers can save from five cents to as much as $10 in system costs.
Simtek's Value-Added-Memory architecture leverages its core nvSRAM architecture by adding an on-chip microcontroller, programmable logic gates, low-power oscillator and internal communication bus, supporting quick-turn, low-cost implementations of additional features such as a real-time clock and serial input/output. These features dramatically add to the range of supported applications with little incremental cost.

Simtek Reports 2004 Fourth Quarter and Year End Financial Results
via COMTEX
March 17, 2005
Company Reports 57% Sequential Increase in Fourth Quarter Revenue, Improved Bottom Line
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., March 17, 2005 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ --
Simtek Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: SRAM), a global provider of advanced nonvolatile semiconductor memory products, today reported financial results for its fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2004.
The Company reported fourth quarter revenue of $4,521,000, up 57% sequentially from $2,878,000 in the third quarter, and up 21% from $3,727,000 in the same quarter a year ago. This increase was attributable to growing demand for commercial nonvolatile semiconductor memory products and to initial sales of the Company's new 1 Mbit product family. Net loss for the fourth quarter was $291,000, or less than one cent per basic and diluted share, a sharp sequential improvement over the net loss of $1,412,000, or $0.02 per basic and diluted share, in the third quarter. Net loss in the fourth quarter of 2003 was $306,000, or $0.01 per basic and diluted share.
Revenue for the full year increased nearly 3% to $14,902,000 from $14,504,000 a year ago. The year-ago revenue figure included $956,000 in revenue from the logic product line that was discontinued at the end of 2003 and therefore did not contribute to revenue in 2004. Net loss in 2004 was $3,670,000, or $0.06 per basic and diluted share, as compared with $2,273,000, or $0.04 per basic and diluted share, in 2003.
Simtek's core memory product revenue increased 16% to $13,100,000 from $11,307,000 a year ago. R&D revenue generated by the Company's Q-DOT subsidiary decreased by $431,000 to $1,810,000 as man-hours were shifted to more internal development. The mix of semiconductor sales includes $10,300,000 to commercial customers, up 8% from a year ago due to an increase in unit demand for our nonvolatile memory products in mass storage and office automation systems, and $2,800,000 in high-end industrial and military sales, up 56% from $1,800,000 in 2003.
Simtek closed the year with $2.1 million in cash versus $1.7 million in the third quarter and $3.4 million a year ago.
"Our fourth quarter was our strongest revenue quarter of the year, reflecting increased demand for our commercial memory products and the growing contribution to revenue of our new one megabit products," said Doug Mitchell, president and CEO. "We continue to push hard on our quarter-micron nvSRAM and Value-Added-Memory strategies and are confident of extending our momentum into 2005 and reporting improved financial results for the full year, including a transition to profitability in the second half of the year."
Business Outlook
Simtek expects to achieve higher revenue and improved profitability in 2005. Semiconductor industry forecasts show a slow first half in 2005 with increasing demand ramping around mid-year. Overall, Simtek expects to see industry-wide growth in semiconductor demand for the full year.
Simtek's legacy product shipments should generally track growth in the overall market, reflecting its maturity in the market, while 0.25 micron products will be more dependent on new systems being introduced by equipment manufacturers trying to differentiate themselves with leading-edge features.
During 2004 Simtek transferred its 0.8 micron family from Chartered's FAB1 to FAB2, which is now resulting in improved production yields and will ultimately support lower production costs. These effects will be fully valued during the second quarter of 2005. Market forecasts currently indicate that these products will have extended lives out at least two to three more years.
Simtek achieved significant market acceptance of its 0.25 micron product family through evaluations and design wins that are scheduled to increase production in 2005, although market conditions and internal development activities slowed the growth of these product sales in 2004. The 1 Mbit nvSRAM and Real Time Clock remain the only products of their type available in the market and are finding many applications demanding their capabilities. Well over 100 companies are implementing these products for production, while new design interest continues at a robust pace. Interest is especially high in the 1 Mbit and 256 Kbit products with the integrated Real-Time-Clock, which is capable of supporting back-up operation with energy supplied from a capacitor instead of a traditional battery, allowing system manufacturers to support world-wide initiatives to eliminate contaminates damaging to the environment.

Daily Commentary
Our system posted a BUY-IF today. The previous SELL recommendation that was confirmed was made on 03.14.2005 (2) days ago, when the stock price was 0.8300. Since then SRAM has fallen -12.65% .
Is this finally a good time to buy? Well, it depends. First check what happened at after hours trading and future values. Then, follow the next session very carefully and be on your toes. This candlestick pattern is a bullish one, but we have to see whether it will be confirmed or not.
Do you see a gap-up at the market open? Do you see a white candlestick forming with a higher close at the session's end? Shortly, is it a nice bullish day? If so, place your buy orders and open new long positions. The market is now on the bull side.
But, be careful, also. If you see a gap-down when the market opens, or if the session closes with a bearish sentiment producing a black candlestick characterized by a lower close, do not challenge the market. Ignore the BUY-IF alert. Cancel the buy orders and cover any new long positions that you might have opened. Bears are still in control.
[MOTTO OF THE DAY]
Buy only if the bulls are in charge
Forget about it if the bears surge

HAPPY TRADING:)
Q-DOT, Inc. is a contract research and development (R&D) corporation advancing the state-of-art in data acquisition, signal processing, imaging, and communications for over 23 years. Our work comprises a mix of conventional government and commercial contracts in addition to Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contracts. The SBIR contracts and other government programs provide both a means to pursue challenging, innovative developments and a door to opportunities for commercialization.
Q-DOT, Inc. was founded in 1977 by Thomas E. Linnenbrink, who is the current President and CEO. While originated in Chicago, Q-DOT was moved to Colorado Springs in 1983 to join in the explosive growth of business in semiconductor technologies taking place in this area. Originally, Q-DOT pursued applications of Charge-Coupled Devices (CCDs) in compact, low-power, low-cost instrumentation. Since moving to Colorado, the company's technological interests have expanded to include data conversion and communications using state-of-the-art processes and concepts. Q-DOT has been developing advanced integrated circuits in SiGe HBT/BiCMOS for over eight years.
In March 2001 Q-DOT was acquired by Simtek Corporation, based in Colorado Springs, CO. Simtek is a publicly traded integrated circuit manufacturer specializing in high performance nonvolatile memory products and application specific integrated circuits (ASICs) built to customer specifications using FPGA designs. Q-Dot, Inc. will continue to support government sponsored R&D projects as a wholly owned subsidiary of Simtek, but with the additional goal of creating commercial products based on the advanced technology capabilities developed within the organization.
Two-IF Delta-Sigma ADDC
Q-DOT, Inc. is developing a bandpass Delta-Sigma (DS) analog-to-digital downconverter (ADDC) to acquire radar and communications channels directly from an IF signal. The ADDC will acquire 60 MHz signals at a high IF frequency (e.g., 500 MHz to 1500 MHz). The signal will be converted to high dynamic range (80 dB SINAD, 100 dB SFDR), output suitable for subsequent digital signal processing. The DS modulator is in development in advanced IBM SiGe BiCMOS technology.
High Speed Nyquist ADC
Q-DOT conceptually designed a wide bandwidth, monolithic, analog-to-digital converter (ADC) using advanced IBM SiGe BiCMOS technology intended for low-IF operation. The 10-bit ADC is designed to operate at 3.2 Gs/s with 3.5 GHz bandwidth. The major applications for a 10-bit, 3.2 Gs/s ADC lie in the next generation of instruments. Digital oscilliscopes (DSO), spectrum analyzers, and mass spectrometers will benefit greatly from the ADC.
High Speed DAC
Realized in IBM SiGe BiCMOS, this DAC is designed to convert 14-bit data at 5 Gs/s. Its algorithmic design promises >80 dB SFDR over its 2 GHz bandwidth. Prototype chips are ready for testing
Low Phase Noise Miniature Oscillator (MINO) for Advanced ADCs
Q-DOT is developing a low-noise (10 fs – 30 fs), miniature (5 x 5 x 12.5 mm3) oscillator (MINO) for use in advanced communications and radar systems. The MINO will provide the low-noise, nominally 3 GHz clock waveform for the next generation of ADCs. These 16-bit ADCs are challenged to achieve 100 MHz bandwidth with 100 dB SNR and 100 dB SFDR. The MINO will be a dramatic advance over the state-of-the-art, rack-mounted clock oscillators available today. The MINO circuitry will be realized in IBM SiGe HBT BiCMOS process.
Q-Dot Selects Sequence's Columbus- AMS For Inductance and Capacitance Extraction
SANTA CLARA - October 8, 2004 - Sequence Design today announced that Q-DOT, a company advancing the state-of-art in data conversion, signal processing, and communications, has selected Sequence's RLC Parasitic Extraction tool - Columbus-AMS - for inductance and capacitance extraction.
"Designing mixed-signal circuits well into the microwave region requires exceptional modeling to ensure first-pass success. Prior to using Columbus-AMS, inductance for critical circuit areas was manually calculated. Other tools did not provide the accuracy or ease-of-use required", said Don Herman, director of engineering for Q-DOT, Inc. "This caused numerous painstaking and time-consuming iterations as we identified and analyzed potential problems one small area at a time. But, with Columbus-AMS, inductance and capacitance are quickly and easily extracted for the entire design. This provides insight into potential oscillation and ringing without having to guess where the problems might originate. Columbus-AMS agrees well with our manual inductance calculations and return path analyses, providing the accuracy we need. And, it integrates cleanly into our design flow. Our engineers were able to get Columbus-AMS running and analyze a thorny mixed-signal circuit problem in a couple of weeks, after months of manual analysis."
Parasitic interconnect inductance becomes more prevalent on complex 130 nm circuits due to tightly packed clock trees and power grids, which in turn affect performance and yields. Even small inductances can cause 100+ GHz devices to oscillate. Sequence's Columbus-AMS inductance-modeling methodology has demonstrated greater success on mixed-signal and high-speed analog designs than traditional inductance parasitic approaches. Sequence's patented technology in this area has delivered unparalleled accuracy for ASIC and mixed-signal design houses worldwide.
"Today's high frequency designs must extract inductance or risk design failure," said Rob Mathews, vice president of product marketing, Sequence Design. "Q-DOT tested the limits of our tool. Their bleeding-edge development gives us a sense of where the future of design is going."
About Columbus-AMS
Columbus-AMS is part of Sequence's ExtractionStage suite, delivering unrivaled speed, accuracy, and capacity for designs below 180 nanometers (nm). Columbus-AMS has been adopted by NEC, Renesas, and Toshiba for their leading-edge designs. ExtractionStage manages the complex process-modeling and electrical-modeling challenges facing designers today.
* Accurate, device-level RLC extraction with NTX technology increases confidence in tapeouts
* Proven inductance extraction lets you meet analog specs and avoid post-tapeout surprises
* Selective parasitic modeling around devices eliminates double counting
* Compact parasitic netlists give efficient circuit simulation
* Graphical interface to Cadence Analog Design Environment™ controls extraction without leaving Virtuoso™
* Smart Probing™ lets you analyze R, C, and L interactively

What are your theories? Post Your theories!!!
I have four theories on these big orders that were going though since I have been watching and playing this one.
1. As you know the dealers buy when the retailers are selling and vise versa. This theory doesn't hold up though because it was in an up trend when these BIG orders were going through.
2. The two Institutional holders or accountants know that the numbers in the 4th quarter is going to be great!!
3. People with a lot of money are shooting in the dark hoping for big numbers on the 17th.
4. The mm's are planning on this being big and bought up those big orders to resell at a higher price.
As always HAPPY TRADING:)
Disclaimer-my stocks are per the advice of my lucky eight ball, please seek your own professional consultant ....
I've been putting deep thought into this. If in fact that mm just wanted the shares this bad as they say on Raging bulls message board and the buy prices are all high and not low, I'm thinking they are going to drop the price for at least these 100,000 shares that they picked up after the bell. Probably they will divide these 100,000 shares into little lots. Either that or they will raise the price and drop the 100000 shares, but I think its the other way around that they are going to do a shake down. Especially since I posted to other boards to add this to their watch lists. they like to mess with me LOL! At least I swear they target me!! But like I said earlier, Don't be mad at me if I'm wrong and they shot the price up wards!
I've seen alot of big orders going through on this one, so either people with a lot of money are just shooting in the dark hoping for good numbers on the 17th of this month or some one knows some thing that I can't seem to find out!
HAPPY TRADING:)

I would say yes, but a rumor that I didn't see has be stumped on what they will do.. Supposedly a big order went through after he bell which I didn't see any proof of. They are talking about it here. http://ragingbull.lycos.com/mboard/boards.cgi?board=SRAM
I looked where I look at my times and sales and I don't see it.
but on this quote it looks like it did happen.
I'm guessing, but usually when there is a big gap between bid and ask the price is going to drop, so I'm going to have to say its going to drop on Monday, but its just my guess, so if it doesn't drop don't be mad at me but the evidence I feel its looking like a drop on monday!!
I hope this helps! Take care!
HAPPY TRADING:)

Daily Commentary
Our system posted a BUY-IF today. The previous SELL recommendation that was confirmed was made on 01.20.2005 (47) days ago, when the stock price was 0.5700. Since then SRAM has gained 24.56% .
Is this finally a good time to buy? Well, it depends. First check what happened at after hours trading and future values. Then, follow the next session very carefully and be on your toes. This candlestick pattern is a bullish one, but we have to see whether it will be confirmed or not.
Do you see a gap-up at the market open? Do you see a white candlestick forming with a higher close at the session's end? Shortly, is it a nice bullish day? If so, place your buy orders and open new long positions. The market is now on the bull side.
But, be careful, also. If you see a gap-down when the market opens, or if the session closes with a bearish sentiment producing a black candlestick characterized by a lower close, do not challenge the market. Ignore the BUY-IF alert. Cancel the buy orders and cover any new long positions that you might have opened. Bears are still in control.
[MOTTO OF THE DAY]
Buy only if the bulls are in charge
Forget about it if the bears surge
