                  Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                          October 31, 2001 and 2000
                                 (Unaudited)



Basis of Presentation

The information at October 31, 2001 and for the three and six months ended
October 31, 2001 and 2000, is unaudited but includes all adjustments
(consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which, in the opinion of
management, are necessary to state fairly the financial information set forth
therein in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America. The interim results are not necessarily indicative
of results to be expected for the full fiscal year. These financial statements
should be read in conjuction with the audited financial statements for the
year ended April 30, 2001 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.


Comprehensive Income (loss)

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive
Income ("SFAS No. 130") requires that items defined as other comprehensive
income, such as unrealized investment gains and losses and foreign currency
translation gains and losses, be seperately classified in the consolidated
financial statements and that the accumulated balance of other comprehensive
income (loss) be reported separately from retained earnings and additional
paid in capital in the equity section of the consolidated balance sheet.
Comprehensive loss for the three and six months ended October 31, 2001 was
$85,000 and $1,932,000, respectively. Comprehensive income for the prior year
three and six months ended October 31, 2000 was $3,051,000 and $5,931,000,
respectively.


Acquisition

On March 23, 2001, the Company acquired certain assets, principally including
inventory, accounts receivable and equipment of Memory Card Technology A/S
("MCT"), a corporation in suspension of payments under Danish bankruptcy law.
MCT designs and manufactures memory from its facility in Denmark and has sales
offices in Europe, Latin America and the Pacific Rim. The Company purchased
the assets from MCT for total consideration of approximately $32,006,000 of
which approximately $28,581,000 was paid in cash plus the assumption of
certain payables and accrued expenses, certain direct transaction cost and
certain MCT employee rationalization costs all of which total approximately
$3,425,000. The net assets acquired by the Company were recorded at their
respective fair values under the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly,
the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net
tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in the amount of
$11,144,000 represents goodwill which, as of October 31, 2001, includes
approximately $1,100,000 which had been assigned to the workforce acquired
(See New Accounting Standards). The results of operations of MCT for the
period from May 1, 2001 through October 31, 2001 have been included in the
consolidated results of operations of the Company.



Significant Accounting Policies


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's foreign subsidiaries' functional currency is the U.S. dollar as
all revenues are received in U.S. dollars and a majority of expenditures are
made in U.S. dollars. The Company and its foreign subsidiaries report in U.S.
dollars. For subsidiaries that maintain their accounts in currencies other
than the U.S. dollar, the Company uses the current method of translation
whereby the statements of earnings are translated using the average exchange
rate and the assets and liabilities are translated using the period end
exchange rate. Foreign currency translation gains or losses are recorded as a
separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss. Foreign
currency non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated using historical
rates of exchange. Foreign currency transaction gains or losses are included
in the consolidated statement of earnings. For the three and six month periods
ended October 31, 2001 and 2000, the Company had no foreign currency
transaction gains or losses.

Restructuring charges

In fiscal 2002's first quarter, the Company initiated a restructuring of its
operations which resulted in a workforce reduction of approximately 25%. The
Company recorded a restructuring charge of $1,200,000, in the quarter ended
July 31,2001 which primarily relates to severance payments. As of October 31,
2001, the Company had paid out approximately $662,000 of the charges with the
majority of the balance expected to be paid in the Company's current fiscal
year.

Inventory valuation

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, with costs determined
by the first-in, first-out method. Inventories at October 31, 2001 and April
30, 2001 consist of the following categories:

                    October 31, 2001    April 30, 2001

Financial information by geographic location

The Company operates in one business segment and develops, manufactures and
markets a variety of memory systems for use with servers, workstations,
desktop and notebook computers which are manufactured by various companies.
Revenues for the three and six month periods ended October 31, 2001 by

Derivative Financial Instruments

Effective May 1, 2001, the Company adopted SFAS 133. This Statement requires
the recognition of all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities
in the consolidated balance sheet, and the periodic adjustment of those
instruments to fair value. The classification of gains and losses resulting
from changes in the fair values of derivatives is dependent on the intended
use of the derivative and its resultant designation. In an effort to limit its
interest expense and cash flow exposure, the Company entered into an interest
rate swap agreement on and for the duration of the Company's $10,000,000
variable rate term loan. The swap agreement fixed the interest rate at 7.16%
for the entire loan balance and for the entire loan term.

In accordance with the provisions in SFAS 133, the Company designated this
swap as a cash flow hedge and recorded the fair value of the instruments on
the balance sheet at that date, with a correspondening adjustment to
comprehensive earnings (loss). Due to the nature and characteristics of the
Company's designated hedging instruments, all adjustments to the fair values
of such instruments will be adjusted via comprehensive earnings. The effect of
adopting SFAS 133 at May 1, 2001, and the amounts recorded related to its
derivative financial instruments as of and for the six month period ended
October 31, 2001, were not material to the Company's consolidated financial
position and did not impact the Company's consolidated results of operations
or cash flows. The Company's credit facility contains financial covenants as
defined in the agreement which the Company was not in compliance with at
October 31, 2001, but for which it has received a waiver of compliance.

New Accounting Standards

In July 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 141, Business Combinations, and
Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.  Statement 141
requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business
combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 as well as all purchase method
business combinations completed after June 30, 2001.  Statement 141 also
specifies criteria intangible assets acquired in a purchase method business
combination must meet to be recognized and reported apart from goodwill,
noting that any purchase price allocable to an assembled workforce may not be
accounted for separately.  Statement 142 will require that goodwill and
intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but
instead tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the
provisions of Statement 142.  Statement 142 will also require that intangible
assets with definite useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated
useful lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment
in accordance with SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of.

The Company adopted the provisions of Statement 141 upon issuance. The Company
has elected to adopt the provisions of Statement 142 in its first fiscal
quarter ended July 31, 2001, as allowed by the Statement.

Statement 141 requires, upon adoption of Statement 142, that the Company
evaluate its existing intangible assets and goodwill that were acquired in a
prior purchase business combination, and to make any necessary
reclassifications in order to conform with the new criteria in Statement 141
for recognition apart from goodwill. Effective May 1, 2001, approximately $1.2
million assigned to the value of the MCT workforce has been reclassified to
goodwill. Since the Company has adopted Statement 142, the Company has
reassessed, as of May 1, 2001 the useful lives and residual values of all
intangible assets acquired in purchase business combinations, and did not make
any amortization period or carrying value adjustments.  In addition, to the
extent an intangible asset is identified as having an indefinite useful life,
the Company is required to test the intangible asset for impairment in
accordance with the provisions of Statement 142 in the first interim period.
There are no indefinite life intangible assets.

In connection with the transitional goodwill impairment evaluation, Statement
142 requires the Company to perform an assessment of whether there is an
indication that goodwill is impaired as of the date of adoption.  To
accomplish this the Company must identify its reporting units and determine
the carrying value of each reporting unit by assigning the assets and
liabilities, including the existing goodwill and intangible assets, to those
reporting units as of the date of adoption. The Company then has up to six
months from the date of adoption to determine the fair value of each reporting
unit and compare it to the reporting unit's carrying amount.  To the extent a
reporting unit's carrying amount exceeds its fair value, an indication exists
that the reporting unit's goodwill may be impaired and the Company must
perform the second step of the transitional impairment test. In the second
step, the Company must compare the implied fair value of the reporting unit's
goodwill, determined by allocating the reporting unit's fair value to all of
it assets (recognized and unrecognized) and liabilities in a manner similar to
a purchase price allocation in accordance with Statement 141, to its carrying
amount, both of which would be measured as of the date of adoption. This
second step is required to be completed as soon as possible, but no later than
the end of the year of adoption.  Any transitional impairment loss will be
recognized as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in the
Company's statement of earnings. The Company has completed this task and has
concluded that the estimated fair value of its acquired business (MCT),which
is the reporting unit as defined by Statement 142, as of May 1, 2001, exceeded
its carrying amount and therefore no indication of an impairment of the
goodwill on the MCT transaction existed upon the adoption of the statement.

As of May 1, 2001, the date of adoption, the Company has unamortized goodwill
in the amount of $11,144,000 and unamortized identifiable intangible assets
(customer list) in the amount of $5,856,000 all of which will be subject to
the transition provisions of Statements 141 and 142. The customer list is
being amortized over 5 years, with $1.2 million of amortization expense
expected per year.  Amortization expense related to goodwill (including value
assigned to the workforce) was $255,000 for the year ended April 30, 2001. The
Company's diluted earnings per share for fiscal 2001 would have been $0.90 per
share versus $0.88 per share as previously reported, had this amortization
expense not been reported. There was no goodwill amortization expense in the
three and six months ended October 31, 2000 as the Company's acquisition was
not consumated until March 2001.  Accordingly, the adoption of this Statement
does not require a proforma net income calculation for those prior three and
six month periods.  Although the Company evaluated the carrying value of its
intangible assets and goodwill as of May 1, 2001 and concluded that such
assets had not been impaired, continued economic weakness and its associated
impact on capital spending coupled with the overall decline in pricing for
DRAMs and its associated impact on the Company's selling prices has put
pressure on the Company's worldwide operations. As such, the Company believes
another impairment analysis will be required for both the intangible assets
and the acquired goodwill. Such analysis is expected to be performed when the
DRAM market stabilizes which management expects will be in the next several
months. It is not practical to reasonably estimate the impact of the
reassessment at this time.

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.



ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


     This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations contains forward looking statements within the meaning
of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and section 21E of
the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Actual results could
differ materially from those projected in the forward looking statements.


Results of Operations

     In fiscal 2002's first quarter, the Company initiated a restructuring of
its operations, which resulted in a workforce reduction of approximately 25%.
Accordingly, in the quarter ended July 31, 2001, the Company recorded a
restructuring charge of $1,200,000, which primarily related to severance
payments. As of October 31, 2001, the Company had paid out approximately
$662,000 of the charges with the balance expected to be paid in the Company's
current fiscal year. The restructuring is expected to reduce operating
expenses by approximately $4 million annually.

     Revenues for the three month period ending October 31, 2001 were
$19,173,000 compared to revenues of $39,866,000 for the comparable prior year
period. Fiscal 2002 six month revenues totaled $41,744,000 versus six month
revenues of $77,862,000 for the prior fiscal year. Revenues in this year's
fiscal second quarter include $7,835,000 attributable to the operations of the
Company's acquisition, which was completed in March 2001. Six month revenues
attributable to the Company's acquired operations were $17,671,000. The
decrease in revenues was primarily the result of decreased average selling
prices for the Company's products caused by the decline in price of Dynamic
Random Access Memory (DRAM) chips, the primary raw material used in the
Company's products. During the quarter ended October 31, 2001, DRAM prices
declined by more than 40% from the beginning of the quarter to the end of the
quarter and by approximately 85% from the second quarter of last fiscal year.
As a result of this decline, average selling prices for the Company's products
in this year's second quarter have declined by approximately 85% from the
comparable prior year period.

     Cost of sales for the second quarter and six months of fiscal 2002 were
63% and 66% of revenues, respectively versus 77% for the same prior year
periods. The decrease in cost of sales as a percentage of revenues is
attributable to the fact that the Company's average selling prices for its
products did not decline at the same rate that its primary raw material (DRAM)
costs declined.

     Engineering and development costs in fiscal 2002's second quarter and six
months were $413,000 and $1,007,000, respectively, versus $414,000 and
$786,000 for the same prior year periods. The Company intends to maintain its
commitment to the timely introduction of new memory products as new
workstations and computers are introduced.

     Selling, general and administrative costs in fiscal 2002's second quarter
and six months increased to 27% of revenues for the quarter and six months
from 10% and 11%, respectively for the same prior year periods. Three and six
month total expenditures increased by $1,150,000 and $2,860,000 from the
comparable prior year periods. However, on a sequential quarter basis,
selling, general and administrative costs have been reduced by $846,000
primarily as a result of the previously mentioned restructuring of the
Company's operations, which was initiated at the end of this fiscal year's
first quarter.


     Intangible asset amortization recorded in fiscal 2002's second quarter
and six month was $296,000 and $593,000, respectively versus nil for the same
periods in fiscal 2001 as the Company's acquisition was not consummated until
March 2001.

     Other income (expense), net for the second quarter and six months totaled
($143,000) and ($297,000) for fiscal 2002 and $292,000 and $522,000 for the
same periods in fiscal 2001. Other income (expense), net for fiscal 2002's
three and six months consisted of interest expense of $241,000 and $490,000
offset by interest income of $98,000 and $193,000. Fiscal 2001's three and six
months other income (expense), net of consisted primarily of interest income
on short-term investments.

     Income tax expense for the three and six months ended October 31, 2001
was $899,000 and $1,304,000, respectively versus $1,877,000 and $3,645,000 in
the comparable prior year periods. For the current fiscal year, income tax
expense was recognized on income realized in the United States at an effective
rate of 38% and no income tax benefit was recognized for losses incurred in
international subsidiaries. The prior year's three and six month expense
included only the Company's normal combined federal and state tax expense with
an effective rate of approximately 38%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     As of October 31, 2001, working capital amounted to $19.1 million
reflecting a current ratio of 2.9 compared to working capital of $20.5 million
and a current ratio of 2.5 as of April 30, 2001.

     The Company's trade receivables, inventory and accounts payable balances
have declined by $8,267,000, $2,553,000 and $3,541,000, respectively from the
beginning of the fiscal year. This is primarily the result of the the
declining revenue levels previously discussed. The Company turns its
receivables and inventory at approximately the same rate regardless of its
revenue level. Therefore, these assets can be expected to expand or contract
in a manner that corresponds with revenue changes.

     The Company' capital expenditures this fiscal year to date total
$868,000. Management expects that capital expenditures for the remainder of
the fiscal year to be at similar levels.

     During the second fiscal quarter, the Company purchased and retired
91,250 shares of its common stock at a total price of $599,000 under its
existing open market repurchase authorization. As of October 31, 2001, the
total number of shares  remaining available for purchase under the current
authorization is 203,450 shares.

     During fiscal 2001, the Company entered into a credit facility with its
bank which provided for a $10 million term loan and a $15 million revolving
credit line. The Company's prior $12 million revolving credit facility was
closed. The term loan matures in March 2006 and is payable in twenty equal
quarterly installments. In May 2001, the Company entered into an arrangement
with its bank which fixes the interest rate of the term loan at 7.16% for the
duration of the loan. The credit facility contains financial covenants as
defined in the agreement which the Company was not in compliance with at
October 31, 2001, but for which it has received a waiver of compliance.  At
October 31, 2001 the amount outstanding under the term loan was $9.0 million.
At October 31, 2001 the amount available for borrowing under the revolving
credit line was $15 million. Management believes that its working capital
together with internally generated funds and its bank line of credit are
adequate to finance the Company's long term operating needs and future capital
requirements.

Safe Harbor Statement

     The information provided in this interim report may include forward-
looking statements relating to future events, such as the development of new
products, the commencement of production or the future financial performance
of the Company. Actual results may differ from such projections and are
subject to certain risks including, without limitation, risks arising from:
changes in the price of memory chips, changes in the demand for memory systems

      amortization of $1.5 million or $0.16 per share
   o  Cash and Equivalents increase $3.1 million or 26 percent
      over prior quarter

PRINCETON, N.J. November 20, 2001 - Dataram Corporation (NASDAQ:DRAM) today
reported its financial results for its fiscal second quarter ended October 31,
2001. Revenues for the second quarter were $19.2 million compared to $22.6
million in the prior fiscal quarter and $39.9 million for the second quarter
of the previous fiscal year.  The Company's net earnings before depreciation
and amortization for the second quarter were $1.5 million, or $0.16 per
diluted share. Consolidated net earnings increased to $160,000 or $0.02 per
diluted share from a loss of $1.8 million or $0.21 in the prior quarter, which
included restructuring charges of $1.2 million.

    o  Includes restructuring charges of $1.2 million


"The action we took to restructure our company has reduced operating costs by
$1.1 million from the previous quarter. This is in line with our projected
annual savings of $4 million," stated Robert Tarantino, Dataram's chairman and
CEO.  "Although we continued to experience revenue pressure, as memory prices
continued to decline in the second quarter, our competitive position,
supported by a 34-year reputation for reliability, allowed us to maintain our
gross margin dollars."

Mr. Tarantino continued, "As part of our integration plan, Lars Marcher,
president of Dataram International has also been named a Vice-President of
Dataram Corporation and joins our corporate management team. Despite the
economic slowdown, our management team is successfully integrating our
overseas acquisition and has returned the company to profitability. We are
well along in the process of rolling out our server products to our
international sales team and expect this to positively impact our future
operating results.  Our restructuring and integration plans have produced an
effective operation that is well positioned to exploit the inevitable economic
turnaround."

The Company's free cash flow significantly exceeds its net earnings. The
Company's non-cash depreciation and amortization charges through the first six
months of this fiscal year totaled approximately $2.8 million versus capital
expenditures of approximately $0.7 million. These levels of non-cash charges
and capital expenditures and their impact on free cash flow are representative
of expected future levels for at least the remainder of this fiscal year and
next fiscal year.

Dataram's chief financial officer, Mark Maddocks, added, "The continuing
weakness in demand over the last few quarters has triggered changes in both
our operating and competitive strategies.  Our new cost structure positions
the company to operate and grow profitably today while providing us with the
operating leverage to significantly increase our profits as market conditions
improve."  Mr. Maddocks continued, "Our cash position continues to grow with
cash and cash equivalents increasing to $15.0 million during the second
quarter from $11.9 million at the end of the prior quarter. During the second
quarter, the company purchased 91,250 shares of its common stock at a total
price of $599,000 under its existing open market repurchase authorization. We
anticipate that we will continue to participate in the market for our shares.
While our confidence in Dataram's future is certain, the sustained lack of
market visibility makes providing earnings guidance difficult at this time.
When economic and industry related developments provide us with more reliable
insight, we will provide guidance at that time."

Dataram will conduct a conference call at 4:15 p.m. (EST) today to present its
second quarter financial results and to respond to investor questions.
