| LOGIC DEVICES REPORTS FIRST QUARTER OF FISCAL 2002
SUNNYVALE, Calif.--Feb. 12, 2002--LOGIC Devices Incorporated
(Nasdaq:LOGC - news) today reported revenue and earnings
for its first quarter of fiscal 2002. Revenues for the fiscal
quarter were $1,771,200, a 42% decrease from the $3,058,000
reported for the first quarter of fiscal 2001. The Company's
earnings fell from $97,300, or 0.01 per share, for the fiscal
2001 quarter, to a loss of $554,200, or ($0.08) per share,
for the fiscal 2002 quarter.
``Like many in the semiconductor industry, LOGIC's performance
in the December quarter was quite disappointing,'' stated
Bill Volz, president of LOGIC. ``The longest and deepest
down cycle in the history of the semiconductor industry
was exacerbated by the near cessation of orders in the weeks
following the September 11 attack. This lack of orders,
on top of an already weak backlog, resulted in a sharp decline
in our December quarter revenues. Fortunately, order rates
have begun to recover and it appears likely that we have
passed through the bottom of this down cycle.
``Additionally, we have quoted on potential orders related
to the military build-up, which should strengthen revenue
levels as the year progresses. In this environment, we remained
focused on achieving a high rate of new product introductions,
while implementing additional cost cutting to maintain our
strong balance sheet ratios. Over the past three-year period,
the Company used the cash flows it generated from operations
to decrease liabilities by 93%, resulting in a very strong
quick ratio of 4.6 as of December 30, 2001. Even with the
weak December quarter, LOGIC's revenues have held up better
than the overall industry during this down cycle. For fiscal
2001, LOGIC revenues were down 15% while the industry experienced
a 34% year-to-year decline. Unfortunately, LOGIC trades
at a significant discount to its peers with a price-to-sales
ratio of 1.42 compared to 6.36 for the industry; a price-to-book
value of 0.86 compared to 5.88 for the industry; and a price-to-cash
flow of 14.65 compared to 41.16 for the industry. I hope
investors previously focused on 'momentum stocks' and 'concept'
companies, will recognize the fundamental value in LOGIC
Devices,'' concluded Volz.
