Our report dated February 6, 2004, contains an explanatory paragraph relating
to the fact that the consolidated financial statements of Ramtron
International Corporation and subsidiaries for the year ended December 31,
2001 were audited by other auditors who have ceased operations. As described
in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements, those consolidated
financial statements have been revised to include the transitional
disclosures required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142,
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, which was adopted by the Company as of
January 1, 2002. However, we were not engaged to audit, review, or apply any
procedures to the 2001 consolidated financial statements of Ramtron
International Corporation and subsidiaries other than with respect to such
disclosures and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or any other form
of assurance on the 2001 consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.
