LogicVision Announces Preliminary Fourth Quarter Results

San Jose, Calif. - January 7, 2003 - LogicVision, Inc., (NASDAQ:LGVN), a leading provider of embedded test IP for integrated circuits and systems, today announced preliminary results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2002. The Company now expects that revenues for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2002 will be in the range of $2.0 million to $2.1 million, principally due to deferred purchase orders. Fourth-quarter loss on a GAAP basis is expected to be between approximately ($0.31) and ($0.32) per share. LogicVision expects to have approximately $41.5 million in cash and marketable securities with a $2.5 million balance outstanding under its line of credit, or net cash and marketable securities of $2.57 per share, as of the end of the quarter.

Vinod Agarwal, President and Chief Executive Officer of LogicVision, said, "Despite an increasing interest in embedded test by major semiconductor manufacturers, continuing concerns about the downturn in the semiconductor industry and resulting budget constraints led to purchase deferrals by certain customers. For the last few quarters, LogicVision has adopted the strategy of focusing on key semiconductor suppliers to provide a total solution from silicon debug to manufacturing test. This strategy may elongate the sales cycle but has the potential to make LogicVision's embedded test solution a de facto standard, providing cost and time-to-market benefits to our customers and significant growth for LogicVision We believe that this focused account strategy is evolving well and currently expect this strategy to lead to positive cash flow by the second half of 2003."

LogicVision cautions that its anticipated results are preliminary, based on the best information currently available, and subject to the closing of its financial records and customary quarterly accounting procedures. The Company plans to release its full results for the fourth quarter and full year 2002 before the market opens on Friday, January 24, with a conference call at 11AM PST. The Company will provide additional guidance and a more detailed business outlook at that time.
