San Jose, CA - July 22, 2003 - ParthusCeva, Inc. (NASDAQ: PCVA;
LSE: PCV), the industry's leading licensor of Digital Signal Processor
(DSP) cores and platform-level IP solutions, today announced results for

cellular design wins in Asia, resulting in strong sales growth in the
region in the second quarter. Operating expenses for the second quarter of
2003 were $7.3 million, compared with $8.6 million (including a
restructuring charge of $1.4 million) for the first quarter. Operating
income for the second quarter was $216,000, compared with an operating
loss of $1.4 million in the first quarter. Due to the weakening of the

a translation loss of $199,000 in the first quarter.

amounted to $65.3 million.

As previously announced, with the assumption by Chet Silvestri of his
duties of Chief Executive Officer, Eli Ayalon and Brian Long will no
longer perform executive functions at the company, but will remain on the
Board of Directors as Chairman and Vice Chairman, respectively.

Chet Silvestri, Chief Executive Officer of ParthusCeva, commented:

"I am pleased that ParthusCeva has achieved operating
profitability and positive net income in the second quarter, driven by
robust licensing performance with six licensing agreements signed. We
achieved continued strong adoption of our open-standard DSPs, including
two with semiconductor companies ranked in the top five worldwide. I am
also delighted with 41% quarter-on-quarter growth in royalty revenues, as
our licensees successfully ship products containing ParthusCeva
technology.

We have sustained our licensing momentum in the first weeks of the
third quarter. This momentum, underpinned by a portfolio of new DSP and
platform products we plan to launch in the next couple of quarters, gives
us confidence that we can achieve our corporate goals of profitable growth
and technology leadership." All results are presented in accordance with
US GAAP

quarter due to a variety of factors including our lengthy sales cycle,
