SANTA CLARA, CA USA
              Record High Revenues and 11% Revenue Increase YoY

    SANTA CLARA, Calif., July 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- DSP Group, Inc.
(Nasdaq: DSPG), a worldwide leader in developing and providing chip-set
solutions for residential wireless connectivity announced today its results
for the second quarter of 2005.
    Revenues for the second quarter of 2005 were $49,047,000, an increase of
11% from revenues of $44,016,000 for the second quarter of 2004. Net income
for the second quarter of 2005 decreased 12% to $8,248,000, as compared to
$9,371,000 for the second quarter of 2004. Diluted earnings per share (EPS)
for the second quarter of 2005 decreased 7% to $0.28, as compared to $0.30 for
the second quarter of 2004.
    Results for the second quarter of 2004 included a capital gain of
$7,671,000 resulting from the sale of 801,000 shares of AudioCodes Ltd. and a
one-time goodwill impairment charge of $4,304,000 arising from the
GAAP-required re-evaluation of the remaining goodwill associated with the
acquisition of VoicePump Inc. in March 2000.
    Pro-forma net income and diluted EPS for the second quarter of 2004,
excluding the effects of the capital gain and related taxes of $3,068,000 as
well as the impairment of VoicePump goodwill, would have been $9,072,000 and
$0.29, respectively.
    The company believes that the above pro forma presentation of net income
and diluted EPS is useful to investors in comparing results for the quarter
ended June 30, 2005 to the same period during 2004, because it excludes items
that management does not consider meaningful for purposes of analyzing the
company's core operating results and making budget-planning decisions.
    Eli Ayalon, Executive Chairman of DSP Group, stated:  "In keeping with the
company's policy of maintaining high levels of operating profitability even
while increasing investment in research and development to strengthen our
product offerings, we achieved a strong operating profit level of 15% of
revenues, despite a significant increase in research and development expenses
in the second quarter of 2005 as compared to the second quarter of 2004.  This
higher level of research and development expenses reflect an increase of
resources dedicated to developing multimedia over Wi-Fi products from
technologies acquired from Bermai, Inc. in October 2004.  We believe that this
combined approach will continue to benefit our stockholders and increase our
competitive edge."
    Inon Beracha, CEO of DSP Group, stated:  "Record high revenues were
achieved by the company in the second quarter of 2005, reflecting increased
demand and market share in North America for our products. This together with
a strong flow of orders during the quarter improves our revenue visibility for
the third quarter and fiscal year 2005 and continues to validate our business
strategy."
