Trading Statement

23 January 2009

                               XP Power Limited                                

                                Trading Update                                 

XP Power, one of the world's leading developers and manufacturers of mission
critical power control solutions to the electronics industry, is today issuing
an update on trading as guidance for the year ended 31 December 2008.

The board reiterates the guidance given in the Company's trading update issued
on 21 November 2008 that trading since the half year has been satisfactory and,
as a result, the Board expects to meet market expectations for the year ending
31 December 2008. In addition, following significant investment in the research
and development function, the Company is expecting an increase in its own IP
revenues which subsequently will help improve the overall gross margin.

Across its key markets - the industrial, technology and healthcare sectors - XP
Power's continued investment in research and development has built a pipeline
of class leading products which allows it to capitalise on the fundamental and
increasing demand for smaller, more efficient and more environmentally friendly
power control components.

The Company also announces that due to the strengthening of the US Dollar it
has just restructured its banking facilities as it suits the Company to borrow
in US Dollars. The Company's senior debt facility of £16 million, which was due
to expire in September 2011, and its revolving credit facility of £5 million
which expires in September 2009 have been replaced by a single term debt
facility of US$36 million which will expire in September 2011. The repayments
under this new facility will commence in March 2010. The new facility is priced
at 2.00% above LIBOR. The arrangement reflects the bank's confidence in XP
Power's cash generative business model.

Duncan Penny, Chief Executive of XP Power, commented "In these difficult times,
I am happy to be able to confirm that XP Power is on track for the full year.
Looking forward, although the wider economic outlook for the next twelve months
is uncertain, the Board is confident that the significant investment made in
research and development and manufacturing makes XP Power very competitively
placed to capitalise on the commercial opportunities in its different markets."

XP Power expects to release preliminary results for the year ending 31 December
2008 on 23 February 2009.
