What Do Customers Want and Why The Inflection
Point Now..

1. More and more lower voltages are needed by our
   customers
2. Number of outputs are increasing
3. Power management functions are escalating, as are
   of components
4. Power takes too much space costs too much
5. Power is getting more complex integration has
   been non-existent

Z-One Architecture Benefits of Z-7000

• Any voltage, any current, any configuration
  architecture is highly adaptive flexible
  system reconfiguration on-the-fly
• Real-time telemetry continually monitors
  temperature, current, and voltage for precise and
  optimized control
• Open architecture communications with
  industry-standard I2C interface bus and affiliate
  program with BOTH module mfg. and silicon
  partners
• More reliable and flexible fault management
  strategies
• 90 reduction in time to market, development,
  of components board traces

Z-Series Digital Power Manager
Z-Point Of Load Converters
29
2nd Generation Digital Power

• 2nd Gen POLs "Server Series"
• Triples output current to 60 amps
• High current expands market
• Very high level of interest
• Enhanced Digital Power Manager
• IC replaces entire module (1/6th the footprint)
  with increased functionality
• Controls four non-Z converters, e.g., fans
• No-Bus Z-1000 Series POLs
• NO protocol, NO memory, NO software and NO
  programming are required
• Lower price point matches analog POLs

30
Results for Z-One Digital Power

• We have a significant head-start on the
  competition. No other competitors module
  available due to our IP
• Market adoption was significantly delayed by
  competing technology that violated Power-Ones
  IP. Jury found for Power-One in recent lawsuit
• The Zs disruptive architecture is a true
  revolution in power and 2nd Generation POLs -
  tripled the output current!
• Licensed technology (second sourcing)
• Module 2nd source with Murata Mfg. (Top 5 DC/DC
  supplier)
• Semiconductor Z-affiliate announced with Atmel in
  July05 and with Micrel LDO (Low Drop-Out)
  regulator IC in Sept 06
• Silicon Labs joined the Z-Alliance in August 06
• Micrel joined the Z-Alliance in March 07
• Customers can offer products with additional
  system features and benefits and with faster TTM
  (time to market)
• New markets opened, e.g., Storage Server,
  Military, Aerospace Security (total POL market
  exceeds 1.0 billion)
• Board-level design wins continue significantly
  more embedded in the customers systems

31
Recent Actions Improvement Plans
32
2005/2006 Major Restructuring/Sales Growth

• 2005 Goal of profitability achieved in Q3 Q4
• Reduced gt30M in overhead SGA
• High-cost Norway functions moved to low-cost
  areas
• Telecom Power Systems integrated with embedded
  business
• 2006 Return of Growth
• Return of sales growth was 1 goal
• Server Storage and Power Systems growth
• 10-15 growth was at high-end without acquisition
  
• Acquisition in Oct. of Power Electronics Group of
  Magnetek
• Q4 negative changes to core business started

33
2007 Integration Execution, Synergy Cost
Control

• Acquisition increased sales dramatically to 512M
  with significant opportunities for growth
• Material costs and synergy/leverage some
  improvement, but off-set by higher logistics
  costs and inefficiencies
• Acquisition integration and synergies
• Shutdown California facility moved products to
  low-cost areas
• Closure of Hungary mfg. in Q4-07 completed move
  to low-cost Slovakia in Q1-08
• Moving China outsourced products to acquired mfg.
  in Asia
• SGA restructured for 20M in savings
• High-cost RD (U.S. Ireland) moved to
  lower-cost areas
• Texas and Finland shutdown
• Improved Gross Margins and lowered costs, but not
  as much as planned (Positive EBITDA in Q3 Q4)

34
2008 Focus on Gross Margin Efficiency

• Sales orders are not the issue there are many
  opportunities. We must be profitable with a
  500M business.
• Main issues are 1.) factory costs
  increases/inefficiencies, 2.) material costs, and
  3.) logistical costs, both fuel and excess
  component movements
• 1. Factory costs
• All low-cost/high-volume products are being
  transferred to Asia Increases efficiencies with
  less product movement, economy of scale, and
  lowest cost
• All factories and products are being evaluated
  and product transferred to align with
  customer/supplier bases to gain optimum cost
  savings
• Low margin products and projects (customers) will
  be rationalized
• 2. Material costs
• Progress has been made, but not as much as
  planned and the savings have been offset with
  escalating logistical costs.
• We have focused teams assigned for this to
  continue driving down the costs of materials
• 3. Logistic costs
• Improved 1.5 in gross margin in Q4, more
  improvements expected
• Need to minimize movement of components - Lowest
  costs materials are in Asia, having more products
  manufactured in the area should increase savings
