| LOGIC DEVICES REPORTS FIRST QUARTER
OF FISCAL 2001
SUNNYVALE, Calif. (January 23, 2001) - LOGIC Devices Incorporated (Nasdaq:
LOGC), today reported revenue and earnings for the three
months ended December 31, 2000. Revenues for the quarter
increased 2% from $3,009,800 for the quarter ended January
2, 2000 to $3,058,000 for the quarter ended December 31,
2000. The Company recorded an 11% increase in earnings from
$88,000, or $0.01 per share, for the fiscal 2000 quarter,
to $97,300, or $0.01 per share, for the fiscal 2001 quarter.
"In spite of the general slowing of economic activity,
we were able to achieve modest gains in both revenues and
earnings," stated Bill Volz, president of LOGIC Devices.
"Although wafer fabrication capacity remains tight,
the fourth quarter pause in semiconductor growth allowed
us to obtain additional wafers of selected products, for
which our sales forecasts exceeded our inventory position.
Currently, we do not believe the industrial markets our
products serve will be significantly impacted by the slowing
economic conditions, particularly when compared with other
companies with higher exposure to consumer-related products."
"Finally, we are very pleased that the difficult actions
we took in the past year to strengthen our balance sheet,
now position us to weather a tech slow down should the current
softness continue or worsen, concluded Volz.
