LogicVision Reports First Quarter Financial Results

One Year Backlog Increases to $10.1M; Q1 Bookings Second Highest in Company History

SAN JOSE, Calif. – April 22, 2008 – LogicVision, Inc. (NASDAQ: LGVN), a leading provider of test and yield learning solutions, today announced its financial results for the first quarter of 2008, ended March 31, 2008.

First Quarter 2008 Results
Revenues in the first quarter of 2008 were $3.0 million, compared with $2.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2007.

Net loss in the first quarter of 2008 was $1.3 million, or $0.13 per share, compared with a net loss of $700,000, or $0.07 per share, reported in the fourth quarter of 2007. The per share data has been adjusted to reflect the 1-for-2.5 reverse stock split that became effective March 12, 2008.

Gross margins in the first quarter were 72 percent, compared with 71 percent in fourth quarter of 2007.

Operating expenses were $3.4 million in the first quarter, including $177,000 of stock-based employee compensation charges in accordance with SFAS 123 (R). This compares with $2.8 million of operating expenses in the fourth quarter of 2007, including $143,000 of stock-based employee compensation charges in accordance with SFAS 123(R). First quarter 2008 operating expenses included higher selling expenses associated with new orders received in the first quarter in advance of revenue recognition.

At March 31, 2008 LogicVision had $7.4 million in cash, cash equivalents and investments, compared with $8.3 million at December 31, 2007. The company has no outstanding bank debt.

New orders received during the first quarter totaled $10.5 million, the second highest bookings in the company’s history. The company exited the first quarter with a 12-month backlog of $10.1 million, compared with a 12-month backlog of $8.7 million at the end of the fourth quarter.

“In the first quarter, revenues were within our guidance range, bookings were the second highest in the Company’s history and our 12-month backlog increased to more than $10 million,” said James T. Healy, president and CEO of LogicVision. “New orders received during the quarter were very good; however, our first quarter cash balance was below our guidance and our net operating loss was more than our guidance primarily due to higher expenses associated with first quarter new orders, which were not factored into our previous guidance.

“We recently signed a contract extension with a major customer and added new customers that could potentially grow into bigger accounts, all of which contributed to our solid first quarter bookings. There are a variety of market trends that are increasing the need for our Built-In-Self-Test (BIST) solutions. For example, integrated circuit (IC) designers are under intense pressure to decrease the cost of their components in order to increase profits. This reduction in cost-per-function is driving companies to use higher gate densities, resulting in the fast growth of submicron design starts. At the same time, companies are demanding higher quality ICs in order to avoid the impact of warranty costs and help ensure market success. As a result, we are seeing companies that historically have had internal BIST technologies begin to transition from a ‘make’ to a ‘buy’ decision. As the only viable commercial BIST supplier for logic in the market today, LogicVision is well positioned to capitalize on these trends. We believe we are on track to record solid year-over-year revenue growth,” said Mr. Healy.

Guidance for the Second Quarter of 2008
• Revenues are expected to be in the range of $3.0 million to $3.2 million.
• Net loss is expected to be in the range of $800,000 to $1.0 million, or a net loss in the range of $0.08 to $0.10 per share.
• Cash, cash equivalents and investments are expected to be between approximately $6.0 million and $7.0 million at the end of the second quarter.
