IMP Reports Third Quarter Fiscal 1999 Results

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 10, 1999--IMP, Inc.
(Nasdaq:IMPXD) today announced its financial results for the third
fiscal quarter, ending Dec. 27, 1998, of the 1999 fiscal year.

Net revenue for the third fiscal quarter of 1999 was $9.8 million
as compared to $6.7 million in the prior quarter and $9.4 million for
the same period last year. The net loss for the quarter was $188,000,
or $.07 per share, compared to a loss of $3.3 million, or $1.20 per
share in the prior quarter, and a loss of $1.1 million, or $.40 per
share for the same period last year.

All per share results are calculated on the post-one-for-ten
reverse stock split basis that was effective after the close of
business on Jan. 12, 1999.

"A 45% increase in revenue over the prior quarter allowed IMP to
approach the financial breakeven point for the first time since the
Company restructured its operations in fiscal 1997. This was aided by
a high gross margin contribution from non-recurring process license
fee revenues," said Phil Ferguson, president and CEO.

"Orders received to date for shipment in the fourth fiscal
quarter are ahead of those received at the same time for last quarter.
We have limited visibility into demand for the first quarter and
beyond as many customers continue to order only to meet their
immediate needs."

At the end of the quarter, the company's cash position remained
low. The company has recently completed an equity financing of
approximately $2.4 million and continues to take measures to conserve
its cash and is working with financial institutions to restructure its
debt. In addition, the company continues to evaluate possible
strategic options for the company's future.

Statements in this press release regarding IMP's business that
are not historical facts are "forward-looking statements" that involve
risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to demand for the
company's products, foundry utilization, the ability of the company to
develop, manufacture and market new products, demand by end-users for

detailed from time to time in the company's reports filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, including the company's most
recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
