" LOGIC’s commercial revenues grew 17 percent in fiscal
2003 compared to 2002. However, contrary to our expectations at
the beginning of the year, we experienced a 76 percent drop in sales
to military programs in fiscal 2003 compared to 2002, resulting
in weaker revenues and a net loss,” stated Bill Volz, president
of LOGIC Devices.
" LOGIC’s cost cutting initiatives have allowed us to mitigate the
effect of weaker revenues on the bottom line. Gross profit as a percentage of
sales in fiscal 2003 increased to 28% from 27% in fiscal 2002, allowing us to
continue to place heavy emphasis on new product development. We maintained our
commitment to a high level of product development with R&D expenditures totaling
$1.78 million in 2003. We believe new products are the basis for LOGIC’s
future growth.”
" During fiscal 2003, we reduced inventory levels by an additional
11% and increased our cash position by 70% while also funding $233,700
to repurchase of 222,200 shares of the Company’s common stock
on the open market. The balance sheet remains strong, with our cash
reserves totaling $1.81 million at the end of the year and minimal
liabilities.” concluded Volz.
