Dataram Reports Fiscal 2013 Second Quarter Financial Results
PRINCETON, N.J. --(Business Wire)--
Dataram Corporation (NASDAQ: DRAM) today reported its financial results
for the three and six months ended October 31, 2012. Revenues for the
three and six months ended October 31, 2012 were $7.0 million and $15.0
million, respectively, which compares to $10.4 million and $20.7 million
for the comparable prior year periods. The Company incurred a net loss
for the three months ended October 31, 2012 of $1.2 million, which
compares to a net loss of $1.2 million for the comparable prior year
period. For the six months ended October 31, 2012, the net loss totaled
$2.2 million as compared to $2.0 million for the prior comparable
period. The Company recorded a charge to cost of sales of approximately
$220,000 in the three months ended October 31, 2012 completing the write
down of XcelaSAN product inventory.
John H. Freeman, Dataram's president and CEO commented, "The economy and
especially the semiconductor industry continued to be soft due to
oversupply of raw materials and reduced customer infrastructure
investment. Since the close of our second quarter on October 31, 2012 we
have seen a stabilization and increase in pricing which can positively
impact our memory business in for the balance of the fiscal year."
In addition to a healthier semiconductor industry, we expect the two
agreements into which the Company entered last quarter will generate
growth and profits for Dataram in 2013 and beyond. One with Shoreline
Memory Inc. ("Shoreline") and the other with Advanced Micro Devices (News - Alert),
Inc. ("AMD") for the purpose of expanding our customer base and product
offerings. The Shoreline Agreement provides for Dataram to fulfill 50%
of the orders Shoreline receives from its primary customers. The second
agreement with AMD (News - Alert) provides for Dataram to develop and sell AMD licensed
and branded versions of its RAMDisk software. AMD's Radeon™ RAMDisk will
target the gaming enthusiast community. Management is unable to
determine the extent that such agreements will generate revenues in the
next two (2) quarters. However, the Company believes these agreements
will provide new revenue sources and expanded markets for the Company's
products.
Mr. Freeman concluded, "These recent agreements and other new
opportunities we are currently pursuing should provide new sources of
revenue, profit and growth for Dataram in 2013 and beyond. The
experience, knowledge and assets we have gained from our current RAMDisk
product, in the development of caching software and in solid state
products are building a strong foundation for growth."
