Back to the present, lol. This one one mentioned on the BTS thread-
RMTR
Ramtron International Corporation is a fables semiconductor company focused on creating widespread use of its proprietary memory technologies through both direct product sales and licensing activities with the world's leading semiconductor manufacturers. Ramtron designs, develops, and markets two types of specialty semiconductor memory products; non-volatile ferroelectric random access memory (FRAM) devices and high-performance enhanced dynamic random access memories (Enhanced-DRAM). Ramtron's FRAM products are developed and marketed by Ramtron International Corporation, while the Company's Enhanced-DRAM products are developed and marketed through its 80% owned subsidiary, Enhanced Memory Systems, Inc. (EMS), and Ramtron's wholly owned subsidiary, Mushkin Inc.
For the six months ended 6/30/02, revenues totaled $25.3 million, up from $6.8 million. Net loss applicable to Common fell 85% to $1.9 million. Revenues reflect increased FRAM product sales and higher sales at the Company's Mushkin subsidiary. Lower loss also reflects a decrease in research and development expenses and lower general and administrative costs.
For the 3 months ended 09/30/2002, revenues were 13,825; after tax earnings were 153.

CNBC ratings:
Ramtron International Corporation, a micro-cap value company in the technology sector, is expected to match the market over the next six months with above average risk.
Over the next 1-2 months, StockScouter forecasts that value stocks will be in favor, micro-cap stocks will be in favor, and technology stocks will be in favor
Earnings growth in the past year has accelerated moderately compared to earnings growth in the past three years. Positive
One or more analysts has modestly increased quarterly earnings estimates for RMTR. Positive
Previous day's closing price for RMTR was significantly above its 50-day moving average. Very positive
The price-to-sales multiple is slightly higher than the average for all stocks in the StockScouter universe. Negative for a small company like RMTR
The StockScouter measure of relative price change and consistency is low. Negative
Quicken ratings:
RMTR misses the mark on relative strength with a score of 84.
RMTR has an average daily dollar volume of $183,287
RMTR's revenues and earnings per share are up more than 81.3% and 100.0%, respectively, in the company's most recent published filing.
RMTR racked up sales of $47.3 million over the past 12 months.
Of the 22.1 million of shares outstanding, 5.25 million are owned by insiders so insider holdings account for 23.8% of the company stock.
Unfortunately, in the course of RMTR's daily business operations, the company is using more cash than it generates. Not good
RMTR's most recent fiscal year end pre-tax margin of -52.10% is below its five-year average of -41.58%, and it's also below the five-year industry average of -7.58%.
RMTR's most recent fiscal year end return on equity of -173.70% is below its five-year average of -106.70% and it's also below the five-year industry average of 1.60%.
RMTR has a 0.28 long-term debt/equity ratio.
RMTR is trading at 3.29 times book value so it fails this test.

seems to be some dispute over patent rights:
Under a Patent Office decision on August 13, 2001, the Company was found to be the first to invent, however, the Patent Office concluded that the enablement and best-mode requirements for patent issuance had not been met by the Company. In October 2001, both the Company and National filed a Request for Reconsideration with the Patent Office. The Patent Office response is still pending. If the Company's Request for Reconsideration is denied, the Company intends to appeal the decision of the Patent Office. …./ The Company is uncertain as to the ultimate outcome of the interference proceeding, as well as to the resulting effects upon the Company's financial position or results of operations.
I don't understand this part, seems they took on some debt back in March:
NOTE 6. LONG-TERM DEBT
