Gideon Wertheizer, Chief Executive Officer of CEVA stated: "CEVA's
flagship technology, the CEVA-X DSP managed to drive licensing activity in
2005 with ten new deals signed, particularly in the Asia Pacific region
where it is recognized as the DSP-of-choice for leading wireless
semiconductor companies. In addition, we licensed our mobile multimedia
solutions to four of our strategic customers who plan to deploy it in 3G
multimedia phones and portable video players."

Wertheizer, continued; "In 2005, CEVA launched three new platforms, two
of which are DSP-based: CEVA-Audio, a low-cost digital audio platform;
CEVA-VoP, a voice-over packet platform; and CEVA-SAS, a serial
connectivity platform. The market in 2005 indicated a clear shift in
customer preference away from the traditional approach of licensing
standalone DSPs, and towards licensing highly integrated application
platforms incorporating all the necessary hardware and software for their
target applications. The introduction of these platforms, along with the
continued development and improvement of the CEVA mobile multimedia, GPS
and SATA platforms provides CEVA licensees with ease-of-integration,
faster time-to-market and lower development costs for their leading-edge
products."

Yaniv Arieli, Chief Financial Officer of CEVA stated: "Although we
experienced a challenging year with respect to revenue, we have managed to
improve the financial strength of the company. We generated positive cash
flow of $2.0 million during the year. CEVA's cash balances and marketable
securities were $61.6 million at December 31, 2005, compared to $59.6
million at the end of 2004. In addition, DSOs improved significantly
during the year to 63 days compared to 105 days in 2004 and our working
capital increased by $3.3 million. In 2005 our gross margins improved to
88% of revenue from 86% in 2004 and reached 90% gross margins in the
fourth quarter of 2005. Finally, we are constantly monitoring our
operating expenses closely and have managed to reach lower than expected
costs in the fourth quarter of 2005."
