MEMSCAP REPORTS FIRST HALF 2001 FINANCIAL RESULTS

First Half 2001 Net Income : 357 000 Euros, or 5.9% of First Half Revenue
Strong Investment Policy and Staff Increase

GRENOBLE, France, and OAKLAND, Calif., September 10, 2001
MEMSCAP (Euronext: MEMS), a leading provider of MEMS for the communications industry, today reported its results for the half-year ending June 30, 2001.

First half 2001 revenue, at € 6.1M, totaled 5.3 times the revenue for the same period the previous year.

Total operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2001, were € 6.9M compared with € 2.1M for the same period in 2000, research and development rising to € 2.4M from € 1.24M in the same period last year.

MEMSCAP's staff also increased from 102 at the end of 2000 to 152 in June 2001.

At the same time, MEMSCAP succeeded in reducing its operating losses, which represented over 90% of revenue on June 30, 2000, and represented 17% of the revenue on June 30, 2001.

The Company reported a net income of € 357 000 (or 5.9% of revenue) for the first half period ending June 30, 2001,
compared with a net loss of € 554 000 (47.5% of revenue) a year before.

As of June 30, 2001, MEMSCAP had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of € 83.5M, compared to € 9.6M as of June 30, 2000, primarily a result of proceeds (€ 83.2M) from the Company's initial public offering on March 1st, 2001.

"Despite an erratic sector, our financial results are in accordance with the forecasts announced during the IPO," stated Jean-Michel Karam, President and CEO, MEMSCAP "Our revenue for the first half of 2001 was double the revenue earned in all of FY2000. Additionally, we are very cost-conscious and want to finance the construction of our fabrication facility near Grenoble by leasing, in order to maintain a significant cash flow for upcoming projects."

Highlights for the first half of 2001

Strategic agreement with Walsin Lihwa Corporation
MEMSCAP signed a multimillion-dollar strategic agreement with Taiwan-based Walsin Lihwa Corporation that will offer wireless equipment designers a full concept-to-manufacture chain for low-cost MEMS-based product designs. The ten-year partnership will also establish product development programs that will push the capabilities of RF MEMS components and modules, and related fabrication technology, for emerging commercial applications.

Key Senior Management Appointment
In May, MEMSCAP announced the appointment of Vincent Tempelaere to the position of Senior Vice President for investor relations and mergers and acquisitions. In his new capacity, he reports to President and CEO Jean-Michel Karam and is responsible for financial analyst and investor relations and for pursuing strategic mergers and acquisitions presented by the Company at the time of the IPO.

Creation of a subsidiary in Finland
In June, MEMSCAP continued to strengthen its product line and infrastructure when it entered the active optical components market through the establishment of a subsidiary in Finland. The new subsidiary offers record-breaking source technology for plastic optical fiber developed by MEMSCAP R&D partner ORC, as well as small-quantity production capability.

European Semiconductor/Wacker Siltronics Award
Additionally, on June 25, MEMSCAP was awarded the European Semiconductor/Wacker Siltronics award for best European start-up in the semiconductor industry.

The construction of MEMSCAP's fabrication facility for optical MEMS components, located in Bernin, France, is proceeding as scheduled, with the exterior structure slated for completion by September 30 and delivery of class-10 cleanroom equipment by December 20.
