| LOGIC DEVICES REPORTS FIRST QUARTER
OF FISCAL 2003
SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(Jan. 29, 2003)--LOGIC Devices Incorporated
(Nasdaq:LOGC - News), today reported revenue and earnings
for its first quarter of fiscal 2003. Revenues for the fiscal
quarter were $1,322,700, a 25% decrease from the $1,771,200
reported for the first quarter of fiscal 2001. The Company's
earnings fell from a loss of $554,200, or 0.08 per share,
for the fiscal 2002 quarter, to a loss of $725,500, or ($0.11)
per share, for the fiscal 2003 quarter.
"Unfortunately, the economy continues to be slow and
the semiconductor industry remains in its longest downcycle
in history," stated Bill Volz, president of LOGIC Devices.
"This downturn and slow economy has deeply affected
our revenues. However, the cost-cutting initiatives put
in place the past few years have helped to reduce the effect
of these revenue declines. While our fiscal 2003 revenues
declined by $448,500 compared to fiscal 2002, the net loss
increased by only $171,300."
"Our cost-cutting initiatives have helped LOGIC maintain
build a very strong stable balance sheet," continued
Volz. "At the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2003,
we have $2.5 million of cash on hand, while we had only
$202,900 at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2002.
In addition, for the fiscal 2002 quarter, we had $1.1 million
of liabilities, while we have only $344,900 of liabilities
at the end of the fiscal 2003 quarter. While times are definitely
tough and continue to test the mettle of all companies,
we feel LOGIC has positioned to withstand the storm,"
concluded Volz.
