LogicVision Reports Financial Results for the Second Quarter 2002

San Jose, Calif., July 19, 2002 - LogicVision, Inc. (Nasdaq: LGVN), a leading provider of embedded test IP for integrated circuits and systems, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2002. Revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 were $3.7 million, a 5% decrease from revenues of $3.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2001.

As stated in the Company's preliminary results released on July 2, 2002, revenues for the second quarter were below expectations due to market weakness resulting in purchase deferrals by several customers and an industry-wide delay in system-on-a-chip design starts. The Company's fundamental business and financial condition remain strong. The Company ended the second quarter 2002 with no debt on its balance sheet, and a cash and marketable securities balance of $43.9 million or $2.94 per share at June 30, 2002.

On a generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis, including deferred stock-based compensation and accretion of redeemable convertible preferred stock charges, LogicVision reported a net loss of $1.9 million or ($0.13) per share for the quarter, compared with a net loss of $2.1 million or ($1.11) per share for the second quarter of 2001. On a pro-forma basis, excluding deferred stock-based compensation and accretion of redeemable convertible preferred stock charges, net loss was $1.5 million or ($0.10) per share for the second quarter of 2002, compared with a net loss of $1.4 million or ($0.73) per share for the second quarter of 2001.

Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2002 were $9.5 million, representing an increase of 36% compared to $7.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. On a GAAP basis, LogicVision reported a net loss of $1.9 million or ($0.13) per share for the six months ended June 30, 2002, compared with a net loss of $5.1 million or $(2.65) per share for the six months ended June 30, 2001. On a pro-forma basis, net loss was $1.0 million or ($0.07) per share for the six months ended June 30, 2002, compared with a net loss of $3.6 million or ($1.89) per share for the six months ended June 30, 2001.

Vinod Agarwal, President and Chief Executive Officer said, "We are disappointed with our second quarter financial results, which are a direct reflection of the conditions impacting the entire industry. The sharp falloff in design starts and changing patterns in the order cycle are resulting in longer approval processes and purchase deferrals. With that said, our technology remains the leader in its field and we continue to use this time to further strengthen our competitive position. Two such actions we have already taken include the establishment of a direct sales subsidiary in Japan and the formation of a new engineering support and services division dedicated to providing engineering and consulting services for a total debug and test solution to our top 25 customers."

Forward-Looking Guidance

John Barnet, Chief Financial Officer, commented, "We expect the cautious customer buying behavior will remain for the next few quarters and have adjusted our forecasts to reflect our more conservative outlook. We now expect revenues in the third quarter will be in the $3.9 million to $4.0 million range. Including a charge associated with the establishment of our direct sales subsidiary in Japan, we anticipate that we will report a net loss for the third quarter 2002 on a GAAP basis in the range of $2.2 million to $2.3 million, or ($0.15) to ($0.16) per share."
