SILICOM LIMITED (NASDAQ:SILC) - Silicom Ltd. (Silicom), incorporated in 1987, is engaged in the design, manufacture, marketing and support of connectivity solutions for a range of computer users. The Company is active in high-end server networking cards, high-end networking bypass cards, connectivity solutions for portable personal computers (PCs) and broadband Internet access. In high-end server networking cards, Silicom is able to leverage its expertise in networking and operating systems. In high-end networking Bypass cards, the Company produces server-networking cards with special functionalities for security appliances and it leverages its server networking cards for the growing security market. Connectivity solutions for portable PCs is Silicom's traditional area of expertise, in which demand for its products has declined and in which it expects to phase out over time. In broadband Internet access, the Company leveraged its technology and connectivity solutions know-how but operations in this industry are declining as well.
High end Server Networking Cards
The Company has developed a line of products for the evolving server networking industry, which facilitates interaction between servers, allowing them to communicate with each other. The products Silicom has developed use its Ethernet and operating systems expertise. The first products in this line are eight multi-port, gigabit-Ethernet, server-networking cards. These are products that allow server-based systems to exploit the potential of gigabit Ethernet. The products have either two, four or six ports, which plug into the servers between which interaction is facilitated. Silicom's business model for its server networking lines of products is called the Design Win Model. It is based on the exploitation of the Company's intellectual property relating to connectivity solutions and networking.
The Company's competitor in this area is Intel.
High-end Networking Bypass Cards for Security and other Network Appliances
Following the production of its Server Networking Cards, Silicom developed some of these same products with a bypass feature. Intended for mission-critical environments, the Silicom Gigabit Ethernet Bypass Networking Cards feature bypass circuitry to maintain continuity of network connectivity in the event of a gateway failure. The products are divided into two groups. One group of products is based on Broadcom's chipset and the other group is based on Intel's chipset. Products based on Broadcom's chipset are PXG6, PXG4, PXG2, PXG2F, PEG1, PEG1F, PXG2BP, and PXG4BP. The number in each product name represents the number of gigabit-Ethernet ports.
In April 2004, the Company announced the release of its products, which is based on a transmission control protocol/ /Internet protocol (TCP/IP) offload engine (TOE) solution. Multi-port gigabit-Ethernet cards can work at high speeds, but in some cases, they bring the central processing unit (CPU) utilization of the host-server to almost 100%. Silicom's TOE (TCP/IP Offload Engine)/ Internet small computer systems interface (iSCSI) server adapters are designed to accelerate server performance through the elimination of server-CPU bottlenecks by handling computation-intensive tasks, which releases the CPU of the host-server and allows it to deal with its original missions.
Silicom's competitors in this segment include Alacritec, Inc., Adaptec Inc., Emulex Inc., Qlogic Inc., and JNI Inc.
Traditional Connectivity Solutions for Portable PCs
In the field of portable computers, the Company's strength has been its range of single and multi-function connectivity products that incorporate various Silicom and third-party technologies to provide portable computer users with a solution to their connectivity problems. The trend in the data communications industry has been to incorporate modems as built-in elements of portable PCs, and to incorporate Ethernet and fast Ethernet as built-in elements of portable PCs. Both these trends have obviated much of the need for Silicom's modem and Ethernet/Fast Ethernet PC card products. The M

About SQUEEZETRIGGER.COM
WWW.SQUEEZETRIGGER.COM is a service designed to help bonafide shareholders of publicly traded US companies fight short selling. SqueezeTrigger.com has built a proprietary database that uses Threshold list feeds and short sale time and sale data from NASDAQ, AMEX and NYSE to generate detailed and useful information to combat the short selling problem. For the first time, actual trade by trade data is available to the public that shows the attempted size, actual size, price and average value of short sales in stocks that have been shorted. This information is valuable in determining the precise point at which short sellers go out-of-the-money and start losing on their short trades.
SQUEEZETRIGGER.COM has built a massive database that collects, analyzes and publishes a proprietary SqueezeTrigger for each stock that has been shorted. The SqueezeTrigger database of nearly 2.5 billion short sale transactions goes back to January 1, 2005 and calculates the exact price at which the Total Short Interest is short in each stock. This data was never before available prior to January 1, 2005 because the Self Regulatory Organizations (primary exchanges) guarded it aggressively. After the SEC passed Regulation SHO, exchanges were forced to allow data processors like SqueezeTrigger.com to access the data.
The SqueezeTrigger database collects individual short trade data on over 7,000 NYSE, AMEX and NASDAQ stocks and general short trade data on nearly 8,000 OTCBB and PINKSHEET stocks. Each month the database grows by approximately 50,000,000 short sale transactions and provides investors with the knowledge necessary to time when to buy and sell stocks with outstanding short positions. By tracking the size and price of each montha'a"s short transactions, SQUEEZETRIGGER.COM provides institutions, traders, analysts, journalists and individual investors the exact price point where short sellers start losing money and a short squeeze can begin.
