       Acquisition of the 20% minority interest in XP Power Srl (Italy)        

XP Power, one of the world's leading developers and manufacturers of critical
power control components to the electronics industry, announces the acquisition
of the outstanding 20% of the issued share capital of XP Power Srl, the Group's
sales distribution company in Italy, for a maximum consideration of €225,000
(approximately £203,000) in cash. The transaction completed on 12 July 2011 and
brings the Group's total holding in XP Power Srl to 100%.

For the year ended 31 December 2010, XP Power Srl made a profit after tax of €
195,000 (approximately £175,000) and had net assets of €311,000 (approximately
£280,000). XP Power does not expect to make any fair value adjustments to the
net assets acquired.

The Directors of XP Power believe that 100% ownership of XP Power Srl will
allow more control over the sales operations in Italy which will, in turn, help
drive the strategy of targeting key accounts with the Group's own-designed
product portfolio.
