Third Quarter 2008 Results

Revenues in the third quarter of 2008 were $3.2 million, compared with $3.0 million in the second quarter of 2008.

Net loss in the third quarter of 2008 was $499,000, or $0.05 per share, compared with a net loss of $1.0 million, or $0.10 per share, reported in the second quarter of 2008. The third quarter net loss was the smallest reported by LogicVision since 2001 when the Company went public.

Gross margins in the third quarter were 74 percent, compared with 73 percent in second quarter of 2008.

Operating expenses were $2.9 million in the third quarter, including $137,000 of stock-based employee compensation charges in accordance with SFAS 123 ( R ). This compares with $3.3 million of operating expenses in the second quarter of 2008, including $116,000 of stock-based employee compensation charges in accordance with SFAS 123(R).

At September 30, 2008 LogicVision had $7.5 million in cash, cash equivalents and investments, compared with $6.2 million at June 30, 2008. The company has no outstanding bank debt.

"We are pleased with our third quarter financial results. Our revenue was at the high end of the guidance we gave in July, our net loss was better than the guidance we gave, and our cash balance increased to $7.5 million," said James T. Healy, president and CEO of LogicVision. "We are seeing some booking volatility. The current state of the economy has resulted in delayed orders. On the other hand we believe that are building good momentum with leading semiconductor companies for adoption of our test and diagnostic solutions to help them streamline production and yield ramp of customer's designs at the right costs. As companies move to lower nodes, larger designs and convergent technologies the problem of affordable quality becomes more pronounced and therefore our value more compelling thus driving broader adoption of logic-BIST," said Mr. Healy.

Guidance for the Fourth Quarter of 2008

    --  Revenues are expected to be in the range of $3.0 million to $3.2
        million.
