NeoMagic Corporation Announces First Quarter Shipments

Efforts to revitalize the Company are progressing in accordance with its strategic plan and the Company will continue to take steps to position the Company for growth.

San Jose, California - NeoMagic Corporation (NMGC.PK), the pioneer of embedded memory and logic technology, announced today that its efforts to revitalize the Company are progressing in accordance with its strategic plan and the Company will continue to take steps to position the Company for growth.

NeoMagic expects gross product revenue to increase between 4th quarter fiscal year 2011 ended (January 30, 2011), and its 1st quarter fiscal year 2012 ended (May 1, 2011), and to continue to increase in the following fiscal quarter of fiscal year 2012, as full shipments to our primary customer resumed in April 2011.

NeoMagic's new strategic plan focuses on the development of USB 3.0 based semiconductors, specifically UFD (flash drive) and SSD (solid state drive) controllers. The Company and its Board of Directors also firmly believe that these products have excellent growth potential.

To ensure that NeoMagic can allocate its full resources towards these higher-growth markets, the Company has reduced operating costs. These cost saving initiatives are an important component of the recently approved business plan.

Additionally, as previously announced, NeoMagic retained InStream Partners, an investment banker, specializing in mergers, acquisitions, private capital raising and valuations for public and private technology and growth companies, to expand its investor base and to help fund the Company's long-term growth.
