Alliance Semiconductor's CEO N. Damodar Reddy talks to The Wall Street Transcript
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 9, 2001--The Wall Street Transcript has published an in-depth interview with N. Damodar Reddy, CEO of Alliance Semiconductor (Nasdaq:ALSC), in which he talks at length about the company's future.
The entire 1,700-word interview is available free online at twst.com
Reddy gives an overview of the company. "To date the company is not only a supplier of SRAMs but also a DRAM supplier to P.C. and as well as communication markets. That includes SRAMs, DRAMs and, to some extent, flash. That is the status of the company."
Reddy continues, "Today, I think, our focus, investment-wise, we are looking into networking communications and the wireless area. At the same time, we have well over $1 billion worth of securities. Based on that, we will be looking seriously into acquisitions of some synergistic companies in the future, also."
Reddy explains, "R&D is critical to our model. We have to invest in R&D of memory designs, and technology to maintain our leadership position. At the same time, R&D expenses as a percentage of revenue go down when revenues are growing. At the same time, we have to build a strong design organization within the company. We are focusing on the design side, and our joint-venture partners are focusing on technology and we work with them very closely. Our R&D expenses are going to be under control, and that's one of the nice things with this model."
