Interim Management Statement

CML Microsystems Plc (the "Company"), which designs, manufactures and markets a broad range of semiconductors, primarily for global communication and data storage markets, today issues the following Interim Management Statement. This statement, as required by the UK Listing Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules, refers to the Company's trading results for the period from 1 April 2010 to 16 July 2010.

Firm trading continues

The Group's operating results for the opening quarter are materially ahead of internal expectations and reflect the continued firm trading conditions that first emerged during the latter part of the prior financial year. Comparable period revenues are ahead in all target market segments and geographic regions although European business lags advances made in the Americas and Far Eastern territories.

Improved trading levels coupled with a stable gross margin and continuing cost control has enabled the Group to make progress in reducing its net debt levels whilst also funding necessary working capital requirements.

There have been no other material events or transactions since 1 April 2010.

Outlook

The Board remains confident of continued progress through the rest of the year and expects a return to first half and full year profitability.
