| LOGIC DEVICES REPORTS SECOND QUARTER
OF FISCAL 2001
SUNNYVALE, Calif. (April 26, 2001) - LOGIC Devices Incorporated (Nasdaq: LOGC),
today reported revenue and earnings for the three months
ended April 1, 2001. Revenues for the quarter ended April
1, 2001 were $2,539,600 compared to $2,768,800 for the quarter
ended April 2, 2000. The Company recorded earnings of $11,900,
or $0.00 per share, for the fiscal 2001 quarter, compared
to $93,400, or $0.01 per share, for the fiscal 2000 quarter.
"The general slowing of the economy and particularly
of the semiconductor industry resulted in an eight percent
decrease in revenues compared with the prior year,"
stated Bill Volz, president of LOGIC Devices. "While
we are disappointed by this 8% drop, our comparative results
were much better than the rest of the industry has been
reporting, reflecting the diversity of the markets where
our products are used. The tough cost-cutting decisions
we made in the past year have prepared us to ride out the
current environment. In fact, while the downturn has adversely
affected certain markets we service, we have used the sharp
personnel cutbacks in the industry to significantly expand
our product development team.
By the first of May, our product development team will double
in size since the beginning of the year. We are determined
to grow our way through this slow period."
"As with most companies in the industry, we have limited
visibility at this time. However, with proprietary positions
in a broad base of key electronic systems, our current concerns
are primarily over the timing of certain large revenue opportunities.
With this confidence, we are proceeding to take full advantage
of the opportunities that this environment presents to position
for the inevitable recovery," concluded Volz.
