| LOGIC DEVICES REPORTS PROFIT IN
THIRD QUARTER OF FISCAL 2001
SUNNYVALE, Calif. (July 26, 2001) - LOGIC Devices Incorporated (Nasdaq: LOGC),
today announced financial results for the three months ended
July 1, 2001.
Revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2001 were $2,490,000
compared to $2,990,000 reported for the same quarter in
fiscal 2000. Earnings for the fiscal 2001 quarter were $13,800
($0.00 per share) compared to $146,900 ($0.02 per share)
reported in the same quarter of fiscal 2000. However, the
revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2001 were down
by only two percent compared to the revenues of the second
fiscal 2001 quarter, while earnings actually increased by
16 percent.
"Consistent with our industry, we experienced a challenging
June quarter," stated Bill Volz, president of LOGIC
Devices. "Although general demand is weak, we continue
to enjoy certain special situation opportunities that stabilized
our revenue far more than the steep declines reported by
other semiconductor companies, and also allowed us to maintain
a profitable bottom line."
"With confidence that these special opportunities will
carry us through this industry down cycle, we have prioritized
increasing our R&D efforts in anticipation of the inevitable
positive rebound. As a result of this emphasis on new product
development, R&D expenditures increased 24 percent in
the third quarter of fiscal 2001 compared to the same quarter
of fiscal 2000. Had we maintained a consistent level of
R&D expenditures, earnings for the third quarter of
fiscal 2001 would have been comparable to fiscal 2000,"
concluded Volz.
