On October 5, 2009, Trident Microsystems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) provided revised guidance for its fiscal first quarter ended September 30, 2009.

The Company expects to report cash of approximately $161 million at quarter end which is slightly lower than guidance based upon the timing of working capital in the quarter.
