Chairman' s Letter
To Our Shareholders:
The last fiscal year has been a challenging one for our company. Early in
the year, we concluded that our largest customer's financial difficulties
were serious enough that we had to reluctantly cease competing for their
business. Sales to this original equipment manufacturer had accounted for
approximately $22 million of our revenues in the prior fiscal year and only
$3 million in fiscal year 2006, all in our first quarter. Additionally, our
revenues were adversely impacted by a decline in the average selling prices
for our products which was caused by a larger than normal decline in the
price of memory chips. The Company's average selling price per gigabyte
declined by approximately 22% in fiscal 2006 compared to the prior year.
Recognizing that our Company has significant operating leverage and that
achieving top line growth is our most important priority, we have taken the
following steps to meet these challenges. After interviewing a number of
candidates, we hired Tony Pawlik as Vice President of Sales. Mr. Pawlik has
over 25-years of technology sales management experience with industry leaders
such as Samsung and Texas Instruments. With this sales leadership resource
in place, we have focused our sales and marketing resources back on the
underlying principles that built our compatible memory business. From a
resource standpoint, we have expanded our domestic sales team, adding eight
professionals. We will utilize the additional capacity to reinforce our
value proposition at the end-user and value-added reseller level. This level
of customer relationship is key to facilitating revenue growth by creating
demand at the source. With this strategy and additional capacity, we expect
to expand our customer base of large corporate end-users and value-added
resellers. While we have increased our selling capacity, we have made other
operational changes that should keep our overall cost structure materially
unchanged.
Despite the significant challenges, we operated profitably and our already
strong financial condition continued to improve. For fiscal 2006, we
achieved:
* Net earnings of $2.8 million.
* Cash flow generated from operating activities of $5.5 million.
* Dividends paid totaling $1.8 million.
* Open market stock repurchases totaling $230,000.
* Working capital growth of 10% to $21.4 million.
* A current ratio of 8.9, with cash and equivalents increasing by 51% to
$14.0 million.
As we enter the new fiscal year, we see signs that the organizational changes
we have put in place are beginning to have a positive impact. Our quotation
rate is up from recent quarters and our order rate has improved. We are
optimistic that we will see improved operating performance in fiscal 2007.
Our Board of Directors' goal has always been to build shareholder value. In
May, 2005, the Board of Directors initiated a regular quarterly cash dividend
of $0.05 per share. In February, 2006, the Board of Directors approved a 20%
increase to the quarterly dividend, which now stands at $0.06 per share.
On behalf of the Company's Board of Directors and management team, I would
like to thank our shareholders for their continued support and our employees
for their hard work and dedication.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
Overview
Dataram is a developer, manufacturer and marketer of large capacity memory
products primarily used in high performance network servers and workstations.
The Company provides customized memory solutions for original equipment
manufacturers (OEMs) and compatible memory for leading brands including Dell,
HP, IBM, Silicon Graphics and Sun Microsystems. The Company also
manufactures a line of memory products for Intel and AMD motherboard based
servers.
The Company's memory products are sold worldwide to OEMs, distributors,
value-added resellers and end-users. The Company has a manufacturing
facility in the United States with sales offices in the United States, Europe
and Japan.
The Company is an independent memory manufacturer specializing in high
capacity memory and competes with several other large independent memory
manufacturers as well as the OEMs mentioned above. The primary raw material
used in producing memory boards is dynamic random access memory (DRAM) chips.
The purchase cost of DRAM chips typically represents approximately 75% of the
total cost of a finished memory board. Consequently, average selling prices
for computer memory boards are significantly dependent on the pricing and
availability of DRAM chips.

Fiscal 2006 Compared With Fiscal 2005
Revenues for fiscal 2006 were $41.8 million compared to $65.7 million in
fiscal 2005. The decline in revenue came primarily from reduced sales to one
OEM customer, that has been experiencing financial difficulties. Revenues
derived from sales to this customer were $3.0 million in fiscal 2006 compared
to $21.9 million in fiscal 2005. Fiscal 2006 sales to this customer occurred
in the Company's first fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2005. Revenues were
also adversely impacted by a decline in average selling prices. The Company's
average selling price per gigabyte declined by approximately 22% in fiscal
2006 compared to the prior year. This was primarily related to lower average
prices of DRAM chips. The Company's average price paid per DRAM was
approximately 35% lower in fiscal 2006 than fiscal 2005.
Revenues for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2006 and 2005 by geographic
region were:

================ ================
Cost of sales was $29.5 million in fiscal 2006 or 70.5 percent of revenue
compared to $49.8 million or 75.8 percent of revenue in fiscal 2005. Fiscal
2006 cost of sales as a percentage of revenue is considered by management to
be lower than normal and primarily results from higher than expected sales of
certain large capacity memory products, which typically command higher
margins. Management expects that cost of sales as a percentage of revenue
will generally be approximately 75%, which is in line with its historical
norm. Fluctuations either up or down of 3% or less in any given period are
not unusual and can result from many factors, some of which are a rapid
change in the price of DRAMs, a change in product mix possibly resulting from
a large order or series of orders for a particular product or a change in
customer mix. Additionally, fiscal 2006 cost of sales included royalty
expense of approximately $173,000, or 0.4% of revenue compared to $469,000,
or 0.7% of revenue in fiscal 2005. Management believes it is reasonable to
assume that future royalty expense will be generally in line with fiscal year
2006 royalty expense as a percentage of revenue.
Engineering and development costs amounted to $1.1 million in fiscal 2006 and
$1.3 million in fiscal 2005. Management believes levels of expenditures in
both fiscal years are within a normal range and expects that fiscal 2007
expenditures will remain within the same range. The Company maintains its
commitment to the timely introduction of new memory products.
Selling, general and administrative costs were $9.2 million in fiscal 2006
versus $10.7 million in fiscal 2005. This reduction in expense is primarily
the result of reduced salary and employee related costs due to reduced
workforce. Approximately $257,000 of the expense reduction was from reduced
levels of depreciation and amortization expenses of certain assets, primarily
leasehold improvements.
Other income, net for fiscal year 2006 totaled $2.4 million versus $202,000
in fiscal 2005. Fiscal 2006 other income included approximately $1.9 million
of gain on the sale of the Company's undeveloped land of, $455,000 of net
interest income and $65,000 of foreign currency transaction losses. Fiscal
2005 other income, net consisted primarily of $94,000 of net interest income,
$75,000 of gains on sale of certain assets and $33,000 of foreign currency
transaction gains.
Income tax expense (benefit) for fiscal 2006 was $1.7 million versus ($2.6
million) in fiscal 2005. In April, 2005, management concluded that it was
more likely than not that the Company will utilize all of its net operating
loss ("NOL") carry forwards. As a result, fiscal 2005 income tax benefit
includes a reversal of the valuation allowance, totaling approximately $2.6
million, that the Company had previously placed on its net operating loss
(NOL) carry forwards. In April, 2006, after review of its operating results
and operating plans, management concluded that it remains more likely than
not that the Company will utilize all of its NOL carry forwards. As of April
30, 2006, the Company has a NOL carry forward of approximately $4.8 million
which can be used to offset future taxable income.

Fiscal 2005 Compared With Fiscal 2004
Revenues for fiscal 2005 were $65.7 million compared to $62.0 million in
fiscal 2004. The growth in revenue came primarily from sales to OEMs, which
accounted for approximately 50% of revenue in fiscal 2005, compared to
approximately 36% in fiscal 2004. Revenues from the sale of memory for the
compatibles market declined by approximately 18% in fiscal 2005 from fiscal
2004. This reduction is primarily attributable to reduced sales volume of
the Company's products for Intel motherboard based servers sold to channel
assemblers. This market became extremely price sensitive and the Company
chose not to compete for certain customers' business in this market. Average
selling price per gigabyte declined by approximately 2% in fiscal 2005
compared to the prior year.
Cost of sales was $49.8 million in fiscal 2005 or 75.8 percent of revenue
compared to $46.3 million or 74.7 percent of revenue in fiscal 2004. Fiscal
2005 cost of sales included royalty expense of approximately $469,000, or
0.7% of revenue compared to $1,058,000, or 1.7% of revenue in fiscal 2004.
The 2004 royalty expense level was attributable to an agreement entered into
with a company that allowed the Company to use their patented technology
through the date of the agreement. The Company ceased manufacturing products
using this technology in fiscal 2004.
Engineering and development costs amounted to $1.3 million in both fiscal
2005 and fiscal 2004.
Selling, general and administrative costs were $10.7 million in fiscal 2005
versus $12.0 million in fiscal 2004. Approximately $560,000 of the expense
reduction was from reduced levels of depreciation and amortization expenses
as certain assets were fully depreciated in the prior year. The balance of
expense reduction was primarily the result of reduced salary and employee
related costs due to a lower workforce level.
Other income, net for fiscal year 2005 totaled $202,000 versus $119,000 in
fiscal 2004. Fiscal 2005 other income consisted primarily of $94,000 of net
interest income, $33,000 of foreign currency transaction gains and $75,000 of
gains on sale of certain assets. Fiscal 2004 other income consisted
primarily of $6,000 of net interest income, $47,000 of foreign currency
transaction gains and $66,000 of gains on sale of certain assets.
Income tax expense (benefit) for fiscal 2005 was ($2.6 million) versus
$252,000 in fiscal 2004. After review of its operating results and plans,
management concluded in April, 2005, that it was more likely than not that
the Company would utilize all of its NOL carry forwards. As a result, fiscal
2005 income tax benefit includes a reversal of the valuation allowance,
totaling approximately $2.6 million, that the Company had previously placed
on its NOL carry forwards. Fiscal 2004 expense represents a provision for
state income tax expense only as the Company utilized a portion of its NOL
carry forwards to offset any federal tax due and therefore recorded no
federal income tax expense.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's cash and working capital position remains strong. Working
capital at the end of fiscal 2006 amounted to $21.4 million, including cash
and cash equivalents of $14.0 million, compared to working capital of $19.5
million, including cash and cash equivalents of $9.3 million at the end of
fiscal 2005. Current assets at the end of fiscal 2006 were 8.9 times current
liabilities compared to 5.9 at the end of fiscal 2005.
Trade receivables at the end of fiscal 2006 were $4.9 million compared to
fiscal 2005 year-end trade receivables of $8.4 million. This reduction was
primarily the result of lower fourth quarter revenues in fiscal 2006 which
totaled $8.8 million versus $15.1 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal
2005.
The Company generated $5.5 million of cash flows from operating activities
primarily as a result of net earnings of $2.8 million, increased by the non-
cash deferred tax expense of $1.3 million, depreciation and amortization
expense of $787,000 and reduced by the gain on sale of land of $1.9 million.
Additionally, net changes in assets and liabilities contributed $2.5 million
to cash flows from operating activities. Cash provided by investing
activities totaled $773,000 and consisted primarily of proceeds from sale of
property and equipment totaling approximately $1.3 million reduced by capital
expenditures of $480,000. Cash used in financing activities totaled $1.5
million and consisted of dividends paid totaling approximately $1.8 million,
open market purchases of the Company's common stock totaling $230,000 reduced
by proceeds from stock option exercises of $459,000.
Capital expenditures were $480,000 in fiscal 2006 compared to $316,000 in
fiscal 2005. Capital expenditures in both fiscal years were historically
low. Fiscal 2007 capital expenditures are expected to be between $700,000
and $900,000. At the end of fiscal 2006, contractual commitments for capital
purchases were zero.
On December 4, 2002 the Company announced an open market repurchase plan
providing for the repurchase of up to 500,000 shares of the Company's common
stock. As of April 30, 2006, the total number of shares authorized for
purchase under the program is 172,196 shares. The Company repurchased 51,450
shares of its common stock in fiscal 2006 at a total price of approximately
$230,000.
On June 21, 2004, the Company entered into a credit facility with a bank,
which provides for up to a $5 million revolving credit line. Advances under
the facility were limited to 75% of eligible receivables, as defined in the
agreement. The agreement provides for LIBOR rate loans and base rate loans
at an interest rate no higher than the bank' s base commercial lending rate.
The Company is required to pay a fee equal to one-eighth of one percent per
annum on the unused commitment. The agreement contains certain restrictive
covenants, specifically a trailing twelve month profitability requirement, a
current asset to current liabilities ratio, a total liabilities to tangible
net worth ratio and certain other covenants, as defined in the agreement.
The agreement was amended on April 4, 2005. The effect of the amendment was
to increase the limit of the Company's combined open market stock repurchases
and dividend payments to $2.5 million per year from $1.0 million per year
without prior waiver. The agreement was scheduled to expire on June 21,
2006. On June 20, 2006, the agreement was amended. The effect of the
amendment was to extend the expiration date of the agreement to August 15,
2008 and remove the eligible accounts receivable limitation on advances under
the facility. The amendment also modified the total liabilities to tangible
net worth ratio covenant. The Company is in compliance with all covenants of
the agreement and there were no borrowings against the credit line in fiscal
2006.
Page 3
Management believes that the Company's cash flows generated from operations
will be sufficient to meet short-term liquidity needs as the Company does not
expect any unforeseen demands beyond general operating requirements for cash.
Management further believes that its working capital together with internally
generated funds from its operations and its bank line of credit are adequate
to finance the Company's long term operating needs and future capital
requirements.
On July 29, 2002, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its
undeveloped land for a price of $3.0 million. The agreement was amended on
October 20, 2004 and again on September 29, 2005. The effect of the
amendments was to increase the purchase price and extend the time to close.
On December 29, 2005, this sale closed. The purchase price was $3,075,000 of
which half, or $1,537,500, was paid in the form of a one-year note which
accrues interest, payable monthly at 5% per annum and is secured by a
mortgage. Of the remainder, $250,000 had been previously paid as deposits
and $1,253,000, which was net of closing costs, was received in cash at
closing. The note receivable is treated as a non-cash transaction in the
2006 Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Prior to closing, the land was
carried at cost on the Company's balance sheet at a value of $875,000 and was
shown as an asset held for sale.
Contractual Obligations
Future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable operating leases (with
initial or remaining lease terms in excess of one year) as of April 30, 2006
are as follows:
Operating leases
Year ending April 30: ________________
2007 $ 417,000
2008 389,000
2009 397,000
2010 404,000
2011 and thereafter 394,000

Purchases
At April 30, 2006, the Company had open purchase orders outstanding totaling
$814,000 primarily for inventory items to be delivered in the first quarter
of fiscal 2007. These purchase orders are cancelable.
Inflation
Inflation has not had a significant impact on the Company's revenue and
operations.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In December, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123 (revised 2004),
"Share-Based Payment" ("SFAS 123R"). SFAS 123R addresses the accounting for
transactions in which an enterprise receives employee services in exchange
for (a) equity instruments of the enterprise or (b) liabilities that are
based on the fair value of the enterprise's equity instruments or that may be
settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. SFAS 123R supersedes APB
No. 25 and requires that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-
value based method. SFAS 123R requires companies to recognize an expense for
compensation cost related to share-based payment arrangements, including
stock options and employee stock purchase plans. The Company is required to
implement the proposed standard no later than May 1, 2006.
In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, "Inventory Costs, an
amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4". SFAS 151, amends ARB 43, Chapter 4, to
clarify that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling
costs, and wasted material (spoilage) should be recognized as current-period
charges. In addition, this Statement requires that allocation of fixed
production overheads to the cost of conversion be based on the normal
capacity of the production facilities. The provisions of this Statement are
effective for the Company beginning May 1, 2006. The Company does not
believe that this statement will have a material effect on the Company's
consolidated financial statements.
Critical Accounting Policies
In December 2001, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") published a
Commission Statement in the form of Financial Reporting Release No. 60 which
requested that all registrants discuss their most "critical accounting
policies" in management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and
results of operations. The SEC has defined critical accounting policies as
those that are both important to the portrayal of a company's financial
condition and results, and that require management's most difficult,
subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make
estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. While
the Company's significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 1 to the
consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report, management
believes the following accounting policies to be critical:
Revenue Recognition- Revenue is recognized when title passes upon shipment of
goods to customers. The Company's revenue earning activities involve
delivering or producing goods. The following criteria are met before revenue
is recognized: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, shipment has
occurred, selling price is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably
assured. The Company does experience a minimal level of sales returns and
allowances for which the Company accrues a reserve at the time of sale in
accordance with SFAS No. 48, "Revenue Recognition When Right of Return
Exists". Estimated warranty costs are accrued by management upon product
shipment based on an estimate of future warranty claims.
Page 4
Income Taxes- The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of
accounting for income taxes in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No.
109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". Under the asset and liability method of
SFAS No. 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the
estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the
financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and
their respective tax bases. A valuation allowance is provided when it is
more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will
not be realized. At April 30, 2005, the Company considered certain tax
planning strategies in its assessment as to the recoverability of its tax
assets. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax
rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are
expected to be recovered or settled. Under SFAS No. 109, the effect on
deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in
earnings in the period that the tax rate changes.
Use of Estimates- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities, including deferred tax asset
valuation allowances and certain other reserves and disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects
of revisions are reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the
period they are determined to be necessary. Some of the more significant
estimates made by management include the allowance for doubtful accounts and
sales returns, the deferred tax asset valuation allowance and other operating
allowances and accruals. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
The Company does not invest in market risk sensitive instruments. The
Company's investments during the past fiscal year have consisted of overnight
deposits with banks. The average principal sum invested was approximately
$12.5 million and the weighted average effective interest rate for these
investments was approximately 3.7%. The Company's rate of return on its
investment portfolio changes with short-term interest rates, although such
changes will not affect the value of its portfolio. The Company's objective
in connection with its investment strategy is to maintain the security of its
cash reserves without taking market risk with principal.
The Company purchases and sells primarily in U.S. dollars. The Company sells
in foreign currency (primarily Euros) to a limited number of customers and as
such incurs some foreign currency risk. At any given time, approximately 5
to 10 percent of the Company's accounts receivable are denominated in
currencies other than U.S. dollars. At present, the Company does not
purchase forward contracts as hedging instruments, but could do so as
circumstances warrant.
Common Stock Information
The Common Stock of the Company is traded on the NASDAQ National Market with
the symbol "DRAM". The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated,

(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)
(1) Significant Accounting Policies
Description of Business
Dataram Corporation is a worldwide provider of server and workstation memory.
The Company offers a specialized line of gigabyte-class memory for entry to
enterprise-level servers and workstations as well as customized memory
solutions for original equipment manufacturers.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and
include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All
significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
The Company has certain foreign subsidiaries which act only as sales offices
and which are deemed to be essentially branches of the US company. The
functional currency of these sales offices is considered to be the US dollar.
Accordingly, any amounts denominated in a currency other than the US dollar
are being recorded at the balance sheet rate of exchange and gains and losses
arising from changes in foreign currency rates for those assets and
liabilities are being reported in the consolidated statements of earnings.
Reclassification
Certain amounts in the 2005 and 2004 consolidated financial statements have
been reclassified to conform to the 2006 presentation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of unrestricted cash, money market accounts
and commercial paper purchased with maturities of three months or less when
acquired.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined
by the first-in, first-out method.
Note Receivable
On July 29, 2002, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its
undeveloped land for a price of $3.0 million. The agreement was amended on
October 20, 2004 and again on September 29, 2005. The effect of the
amendments was to increase the purchase price and extend the time to close.
On December 29, 2005, this sale closed. The purchase price was
$3,075 of which half, or $1,537, was paid in the form of a one-year
note which accrues interest, payable monthly at 5% per annum and is secured
by a mortgage. Prior to closing, the land was carried at cost on the
Company's balance sheet at a value of $875 and was shown as an asset held for
sale.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation is generally
computed on the straight-line basis. Depreciation and amortization rates are
based on the estimated useful lives, which range from three to five years for
machinery and equipment and five to six years for leasehold improvements.
When property or equipment is retired or otherwise disposed of, related costs
and accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the accounts.
Repair and maintenance costs are charged to operations as incurred.
Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets consist of property, plant and equipment. Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("FAS") No. 144, "Accounting for the
Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" provides a single accounting
model for long-lived assets to be disposed of. SFAS No.144 also changes the
criteria for classifying an asset as held for sale, broadens the scope of
businesses to be disposed of that qualify for reporting as discontinued
operations and changes the timing of recognizing losses on such operations.
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, long-lived assets, such as property, plant
and equipment, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a
comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated undiscounted
future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying
amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment
charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset
exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of
would be separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower
of the carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell, and no longer
depreciated. The Company considers various valuation factors, principally
discounted cash flows, to assess the fair values of long-lived assets.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when title passes upon shipment of goods to customers.
The Company's revenue earning activities involve delivering or producing
goods. The following criteria are met before revenue is recognized:
persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, shipment has occurred, selling
price is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured. The
Company does experience a minimal level of sales returns and allowances for
which the Company accrues a reserve at the time of sale in accordance with
SFAS No. 48, "Revenue Recognition When Right of Return Exists".
Product Development and Related Engineering
The Company expenses product development and related engineering costs as
incurred. Engineering effort is directed to the development of new or
improved products as well as ongoing support for existing products.
Page 10
Income Taxes
The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income
taxes in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for
Income Taxes". Under the asset and liability method of SFAS No. 109,
deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future
tax consequences attributable to differences between assets and liabilities
and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those
temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under SFAS
No. 109, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax
rates is recognized in earnings in the period that the tax rate changes.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration
of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts
receivable. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents in financial
institutions and brokerage accounts. To the extent that such deposits exceed
the maximum insurance levels, they are uninsured. The Company performs
ongoing evaluations of its customers' financial condition, as well as general
economic conditions and, generally, requires no collateral from its
customers.
In fiscal 2006, sales to one customer account for approximately 11% of
revenues and 5% of accounts receivable at April 30, 2006. In fiscal 2005 and
fiscal 2004, sales to one customer accounted for approximately 33% of and 22%
of revenues, respectively.
Net Earnings Per Share
Net Earnings Per Share is presented in accordance with SFAS No. 128,
"Earnings Per Share". Basic net earnings per share is calculated by dividing
net earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
during the period. Diluted net earnings per share was calculated in a manner
consistent with basic net earnings per share except that the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding also includes the dilutive effect of
stock options outstanding (using the treasury stock method).
The following presents a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used
in computing Basic and Diluted net earnings per share.

Product Warranty
The majority of the Company's products are intended for single use;
therefore, the Company requires limited product warranty accruals. The
Company accrues estimated product warranty cost at the time of sale and any
additional amounts are recorded when such cost are probable and can be
reasonably estimated.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of financial instruments is determined by reference to market
data and other valuation techniques as appropriate. The Company believes
that there is no material difference between the fair value and the reported
amounts of financial instruments in the consolidated balance sheets.
Stock-Based Compensation
At April 30, 2006, the Company has stock-based employee and director
compensation plans, which are described more fully in Note 4. The Company
accounts for those plans under the recognition and measurement principles of
APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related
Interpretations. No stock-based compensation cost is reflected in net income
for stock options, as all options granted under those plans had an exercise
price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of
the grant.
The following table illustrates the effect on net earnings (loss) and
earnings (loss) per share if the Company had applied the fair value
recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, " Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation" (" SFAS 123" ) to stock-based employee compensation:

The 2005 expense includes a pro forma tax benefit from the reversal of the
valuation allowance on certain pro forma net operating losses from previous
years.

The fair value of each stock option granted during the year is estimated on
the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the
following assumptions:

Weighted average fair value of options
granted during the year $ 3.18 $ 3.22 $ 2.50
(2) Long-Term Debt
On June 21, 2004, the Company entered into a two year credit facility with a
bank, which provides for up to a $5,000 revolving credit line. Advances
under the facility were limited to 75% of eligible receivables, as defined in
the agreement. The agreement provides for LIBOR rate loans and base rate
loans at an interest rate no higher than the bank's base commercial lending
rate. The Company is required to pay a fee equal to one-eighth of one
percent per annum on the unused commitment. The agreement contains certain
restrictive covenants, specifically a trailing twelve month profitability
requirement, a current asset to current liabilities ratio, a total
liabilities to tangible net worth ratio and certain other covenants, as
defined in the agreement which the Company was in compliance with at April
30, 2006. The agreement was amended on April 4, 2005. The effect of the
amendment was to increase the limit of the Company's combined open market
stock repurchases and dividend payments to $2,500 per year from $1,000 per
year without prior waiver. On June 20, 2006, the agreement was amended. The
effect of the amendment was to extend the expiration date of the agreement to
August 15, 2008 and remove the eligible accounts receivable limitation on
advances under the facility. The amendment also modified the total
liabilities to tangible net worth ratio covenant. The Company is in
compliance with all covenants of the agreement and there were no borrowings
against the credit line in fiscal 2006.

During fiscal 2005, the Company reversed the valuation allowance it had
previously placed on its deferred tax assets since management concluded that
it is more likely than not that such assets will be realized through future
taxable income or certain tax planning strategies. The Company has U.S. net
operating loss carry forwards of approximately $4,823, which can be used to
offset income through 2023. The tax benefit of net operating loss carry
forwards utilized in the three years ended April 30, 2006 were:

(4) Stock Option Plans
The Company has a 1992 incentive and non-statutory stock option plan for the
purpose of permitting certain key employees to acquire equity in the Company
and to promote the growth and profitability of the Company by attracting
and retaining key employees. In general, the plan allowed granting of up to
2,850,000 shares, adjusted for stock splits, of the Company's common stock at
an option price to be no less than the fair market value of the stock on the
date such options are granted. Under option agreements granted under the
plan, the holder of the option may purchase 20% of the common stock with
respect to which the option has been granted on or after the first
anniversary of the date of the grant and an additional 20% of such shares on
or after each of the four succeeding anniversary dates. At April 30, 2006,
655,430 of the outstanding options are exercisable. No further options may be
granted under this plan.
The Company also has a 2001 incentive and non-statutory stock option plan for
the purpose of permitting certain key employees to acquire equity in the
Company and to promote the growth and profitability of the Company by
attracting and retaining key employees. In general, the plan allows granting
of up to 1,800,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an option price to
be no less than the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the
date such options are granted. Currently, options granted under the plan
vest ratably on the annual anniversary date of the grants. Vesting periods
for options currently granted under the plan range from one to five years.
At April 30, 2006, 261,650 of the outstanding options are exercisable.
The status of the plans for the three years ended April 30, 2006, is as

The Company periodically grants nonqualified stock options to non-employee
directors of the Company. These options are granted for the purpose of
retaining the services of directors who are not employees of the Company and
to provide additional incentive for such directors to work to further the
best interests of the Company and its shareholders. The options granted to
these non-employee directors are exercisable at a price representing the fair
value at the date of grant, and expire ten years after date of grant. Of
each option, 100% are exercisable one year after the date of grant. At April
30, 2006, 128,000 of the outstanding options are exercisable.

Dataram Corporation:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Dataram

consolidated statements of earnings, stockholders' equity and cash flows for
the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures
in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Dataram
