"I am extremely pleased with our accomplishments in 2001.

Our fourth quarter and annual financial performance were exceptional in a difficult global economic climate.

In particular, we posted solid increases in revenue and profits throughout the year", said Moshe Gavrielov, Chief Executive Officer of Verisity.

"Over the course of the year, we expanded our customer base and provide mission critical solutions to leading systems, semiconductor and Star IP companies".

" In the past six years, Verisity has focused on automating the solutions that verify the front-end of the design process where customers spend most of their time and efforts.

This is a very significant untapped market and provides one of the largest growth opportunities in the EDA space today.

Traditionally, customers have used their own in-house developed software to validate their designs, but as the complexity of these designs has increased, customers required a more timely and efficient method for verifying their designs and looked to Verisity to provide the solution", added Gavrielov.

"As we look forward, we are confident in our business strategy and competitive position and will continue to invest and develop leading-edge verification tools for our customers".
