Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.

Red Oak’s managing member, David Sandberg, is a Director of SMTC Corporation (the “Company”).   Mr. Sandberg has repeatedly informed the Board that he believes that the value of SMTC’s business and net operating loss carry forwards exceeds its current market valuation.  Despite this favorable view of SMTC, Red Oak sold ­­­11,800 SMTC shares on Monday, November 15, 2010, representing just under 0.5% of its total position, in an effort to balance the size of the SMTC investment in one of its Funds vs. dollars which may leave that Fund on December 1, 2010.  Red Oak presently has no intent to sell additional stock near current price levels or to own less than 5% of the Company for the foreseeable future absent a sale of the Company at a premium, but reserves its right to change its view based on its continuing evaluation of the Company's prospects, general market conditions, the availability of alternate inve stments at attractive prices, the price of Company shares, and other factors.  Red Oak may at times consider the sale of a part of its SMTC position to provide liquidity in its fund, to re-balance the fund's portfolio, and to accomplish tax planning objectives.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

(a)

The aggregate percentage of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock reported owned by each Reporting Person is based on 15,067,487 shares of common stock of SMTC Corporation outstanding on October 31, 2010, as reported SMTC Corporation’s preliminary proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 12, 2010. Each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership with respect to any shares of Common Stock other than the shares owned directly and of record by such Reporting Person.


Red Oak Partners beneficially owns 2,470,392 shares of Common Stock, representing 16.40% of all the outstanding shares of Common Stock.  The Funds are each controlled by Red Oak Partners.  Therefore, Red Oak Partners may be deemed to beneficially own (i) the 2,191,980 shares of Common Stock held by Red Oak Fund, and (ii) the 278,412 shares of Common Stock held by Pinnacle Fund.


Mr. Sandberg beneficially owns 2,488,792 shares of Common Stock, representing 16.52% of all the outstanding shares of Common Stock.  Mr. Sandberg, as the managing member of Red Oak Partners may be deemed to beneficially own the 2,470,392 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Red Oak Partners through the Funds.


Red Oak Fund may be deemed to beneficially own 2,191,980 shares of Common Stock, representing 14.55% of all the outstanding shares of Common Stock.  Pinnacle Fund may be deemed to beneficially own 278,412 shares of Common Stock, representing 1.85% of all the outstanding shares of Common Stock.


(b)

Each of Red Oak Partners and Mr. Sandberg may be deemed to have shared voting and dispositive power with respect to (i) the 2,191,980 shares of Common Stock held by Red Oak Fund and (ii) the 278,412 shares of Common Stock held by Pinnacle Fund.  No Fund shares with any other Fund voting or dispositive power with respect to the shares such Fund beneficially owns.
