NurLogic Selected As One Of "The Best 30 Small Electronics Companies" For Second Year By Cahners Research

SAN DIEGO  - May 28, 2002 - NurLogic Design, Inc., a developer of high bandwidth connectivity solutions, has been named as one of "The Best 30 Small Electronics Companies" by Cahners Research. NurLogic was also named in last year's selection. The ratings for the chosen 30 companies appeared in Electronic Business magazine's April 2002 issue.

According to Cahners, the 30 best companies were selected by compiling a list of more than 200 public and private electronics companies, whose annual revenues were below $250 million and who have exhibited strong annual and quarterly revenue growth. Sources included a number of public databases, Internet resources, Electronic Business files and nominations submitted by Electronic Business readers. The original list was narrowed down by taking into consideration factors such as profitability, quarter-to-quarter revenue growth and future growth potential, as well as attributes such as innovation, leadership and technology. Of the 30 companies named this year, NurLogic was one of only ten private companies chosen.

"We are pleased that we've been recognized once again for our revenue growth and leadership in this industry," says Lisa Lipscomb, vice president of marketing and co-founder of NurLogic Design. "In times when many companies are struggling, NurLogic's inclusion in this list is testament to our design expertise and outstanding reputation for innovation."
