SANTA CLARA, Calif., May 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- NeoMagic Corporation (Nasdaq: NMGC) today reported its financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2009, ended April 27, 2008. Total revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2009 was $592 thousand, compared to total revenue of $830 thousand for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, and $482 thousand for the first quarter of fiscal 2008. Net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2009 was $4.9 million, or $0.39 per share, compared to a net loss of $4.5 million, or $0.36 per share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 and a net loss of $3.2 million, or $0.26 per share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. Included in the first quarter results was a gain on the sale of patents of $9.5 million or $0.76 per share.

The first quarter fiscal 2009 non-GAAP net loss was $4.2 million, or $0.33 per share, compared to $4.1 million, or $0.33 per share, in the previous quarter and compared to a $3.8 million net loss, or $0.31 per share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. Non-GAAP results exclude the impact of stock-based compensation expenses, gains on the sale of patents, and gains and losses recorded for the changes in fair value of warrant liabilities.

"In fiscal Q1 we experienced a pause in our revenue growth, consistent with other handset chip providers in this post-holiday quarter. But I am very pleased with the new design wins we are gathering for our recently introduced MiMagic 8 Applications Processor and our NeoMobileTV Co-processor. Both of these new products have been recognized by our new customers for the exciting mobile TV features they enable. These customers have indicated that they anticipate going into production this calendar year," said Douglas Young, President and CEO of NeoMagic Corporation.

"We are pleased to have completed a patent sale transaction in February 2008 for net proceeds of $9.5 million," stated Steve Berry, CFO of NeoMagic.

Safe Harbor Statement

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, related to the Company's design wins, the expectations of revenue based upon design wins and expected orders from those design wins, new products and revenue opportunities from those new products. These forward-looking statements reflect current expectations. However, actual events and results could vary significantly based on a variety of factors, including but not limited to customer acceptance of NeoMagic products, the market acceptance of mobile TV feature phones and other devices developed and marketed by customers that use the Company's products, the success of customers' plans to develop multimedia phones, feature phones and other products, the acceptance of advanced multimedia services such as H.264 television on mobile phones and other products, the Company's ability to execute product and technology development plans on schedule, and the timely availability of sufficient manufacturing capacity at the Company's foundry to meet future customer demand for products. There is no certainty that current or future design wins will result in revenue for NeoMagic or that customer forecasts will be accurate. Customers may cancel or delay their production orders, projects or switch to other vendors. In addition, customers may fail to achieve their expected sales objectives due to competitive or other reasons resulting in excess or obsolete inventory requiring write-downs and charges to cost of revenue. Additional risks that could affect the Company's future operating results are more fully described in the Company's most recent annual report and other filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and are available online at http://www.sec.gov. NeoMagic may, from time to time, make additional written or oral forward-looking statements, including statements contained in filings with the SEC and reports to shareholders. NeoMagic does not undertake the obligation to update any forward-looking statements that may be made by or on behalf of the company, except as may be required by law.

Non-GAAP Reporting -- The Company's management uses non-GAAP measures to evaluate the performance of our business and to estimate future performance. Since management finds this measure to be useful, we believe that our investors benefit from seeing our results "through the eyes" of management in addition to seeing our GAAP results. For comparison purposes, the Company makes reference to certain gross margin, operating margin, net loss and net loss per share. These non-GAAP results were reached by excluding stock-based compensation expense, gains on the sale of patents, and gains and losses recorded for the changes in fair value of warrant liabilities. We reference those results to allow a better comparison of results in the current period to those in prior periods and to provide meaningful insight to the Company's on- going operating performance. We have reconciled such non-GAAP results to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Our reference to these non-GAAP results should be considered in addition to results that are prepared under current accounting standards but should not be considered a substitute for results that are presented as consistent with GAAP. It should also be noted that our non-GAAP information may differ from the non-GAAP information provided by other companies.
