“The second quarter of 2008 was another good quarter. Our revenues, net loss and cash position were in line with the guidance we gave in April, and our bookings were $7.1 million,” said James T. Healy, president and CEO of LogicVision. “The new orders came from 15 customers and included a sizeable renewal from an existing major customer as well as a first-time order from a new customer that could potentially grow into a bigger account. This quarter’s bookings combined with $10.5 million of new orders in the first quarter gives us a total of $17.6 million of new orders in the first half of 2008 -- making it the highest six-month booking period in the company’s history.”

“LogicVision’s high quality, quick time to market and cost effective solutions continue to make inroads into the automotive, storage and consumer market segments. Despite the end-market softness, we are seeing increased design starts in these areas, which is where our products are being used. Some companies are interested in our solutions because we can help them to reduce their overall production costs, and others are particularly focused on our ability to help them deliver a high quality product. Overall, our potential market is growing and customers are increasingly receptive to our value proposition of helping them deliver high quality, differentiated products in a timely manner and with low comparable costs. As a result, we continue to believe that we are on track to record solid year-over-year revenue growth,” said Mr. Healy.

Guidance for the Third Quarter of 2008
• Revenues are expected to be in the range of $3.0 million to $3.2 million.
