QuickLogic Receives Nasdaq Notice Regarding Delayed Filing of Form 10-Q

SUNNYVALE, Calif. – November 20, 2006 – QuickLogic Corporation (NASDAQ: QUIK), the lowest power programmable logic leader, today announced that it received a Nasdaq Staff Determination notice on November 14, 2006 stating that the Company is not in compliance with the requirements for continued listing under Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14) because it has not timely filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended October 1, 2006, and that its securities are, therefore, subject to delisting from the Nasdaq Global Market. The Company previously announced it received a Staff Determination Letter because it has not timely filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended July 2, 2006.

As disclosed in its October 25, 2006 press release, the Company’s internal review of stock option practices and related accounting has not been completed. Accordingly, the Company will file its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the second and third fiscal quarters once the review is complete. The Company will make every effort to complete its review and provide full financial results as soon as practicable.

QuickLogic had a hearing with the Nasdaq Qualifications Listing Panel on September 26, 2006 and has not received a decision from the Panel.  The November 14, 2006 Nasdaq Staff Determination notice indicated that the Nasdaq Listing Qualification Panel will also consider the not timely filed third quarter report in rendering a determination regarding the Company’s continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market. QuickLogic will present its views with respect to this matter to the hearing panel. Pending a decision by the hearing panel, QuickLogic’s common stock will remain listed on The Nasdaq Global Market. However, there can be no assurance that the hearing panel will grant the Company’s request for continued listing.
