LOGIC Devices Reports Fiscal 2002:
Returns to Profitability in Fourth Quarter -- Shows Strong
Balance Sheet
SUNNYVALE, Calif.--Nov. 22, 2002--LOGIC Devices Incorporated
(Nasdaq:LOGC - News), today reported revenue and earnings
for its fiscal year ended September 29, 2002. The Company's
revenues decreased 34 percent, from $10,007,800 in fiscal
2001 to $6,572,600 in fiscal 2002. The Company experienced
a net loss of $2,123,600, or $(0.31) per share, for fiscal
2002, compared to a net loss of $212,000, or $(0.03) per share,
in fiscal 2001.
The fourth quarter of fiscal 2002 revenues were $1,880,000,
an increase of 4.4 percent over the prior quarter. For the
quarter ended September 29, 2002, the Company had net earnings
of $43,800, or $0.01 per share, compared to a net loss of
$773,000, or $(0.11) per share, in the third quarter of fiscal
2002, and a net loss of $335,000, or $(0.05) per share, in
the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001.
"LOGIC's fourth quarter performance was the best of
fiscal 2002," stated Bill Volz, president. "Overall
industry demand has been weak and our revenues tracked with
the industry. However, activity seems to have finally reached
a bottom. The Company's revenues have increased progressively
since the low point of the second fiscal quarter."
"We reduced inventory by 19 percent, while maintaining
a strong commitment to new product development, with R&D
expenditures at 27 percent of revenues. The Company's cash
position also doubled in the final quarter of fiscal 2002.
This cash allowed the Company to negotiate attractive pricing
on new design automation software, because we were able
to prepay a significant portion of the cost during a time
when many design automation software vendors are very hungry."
"The Company ended its fiscal 2002 with current assets
of $13,974,000 and current liabilities of only $299,700,
which results in an impressive current ratio of 47 to 1,
and a phenomenal quick ratio of 13 to 1. Furthermore, the
Company subsequently collected a large portion of its accounts
receivable shortly after the fiscal year-end, which substantially
increased its cash position to approximately $3 million.
While fiscal 2002 was a very tough year, the Company is
proud of the things it did accomplish," concluded Volz.
