NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1—BASIS OF PRESENTATION

        These statements should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 2, 2011. The operating results for the three-month and six-month periods ended July 3, 2011 and cash flows for the six-month period ended July 3, 2011, are not necessarily indicative of the results that will be achieved for the full fiscal year ending January 1, 2012 or for future periods.

        The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared without audit and reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for the allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation, restructuring costs, goodwill and intangible asset valuation, impairment costs, depreciation and amortization, sales returns and discounts, warranty costs, derivative valuation, uncertain tax positions and the recoverability of deferred tax assets, stock compensation, business combinations, contingencies and the fair value of assets and liabilities disclosed. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management's estimates and assumptions. The statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations.

        The balance sheet at January 2, 2011 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. The accompanying interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Power-One, Inc.'s ("the Company") Form 10-K for the year ended January 2, 2011.

        The Company's reporting period coincides with the 52- to 53-week period ending on the Sunday closest to December 31, and its fiscal quarters are the 13- to 14-week periods ending on the Sunday nearest to March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31. The three month and six month periods ended July 3, 2011 and July 4, 2010 were 13-week and 26-week periods, respectively.

NOTE 2—CHANGES TO SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND RELATED DISCLOSURES

        Recent Pronouncements and Accounting Changes—In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2009-13, "Multiple- Deliverable Revenue Arrangements a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force," ("ASU 2009-13"). This update provides amendments to the criteria of ASC 605, "Revenue Recognition," for separating consideration in multiple- deliverable arrangements. The amendments to this update establish a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable. This Accounting Standards Update will be applied on a prospective basis for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with earlier application permitted. Alternatively, an entity can elect to adopt this standard on a retrospective basis. The Company adopted the measurement requirements of this guidance prospectively with no impact to the consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2—CHANGES TO SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND RELATED DISCLOSURES (Continued)

        In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04 which relates to fair value measurement (FASB ASC Topic 820), which amends current guidance to achieve common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The amendments generally represent clarification of FASB ASC Topic 820, but also include instances where a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or disclosing information about fair value measurements has changed. The guidance also expands the disclosures for fair value measurements that are estimated using significant unobservable (Level 3) inputs. This guidance is effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and is to be applied prospectively. The adoption of this standard will not materially impact the Company's consolidated financial statement statements.

        In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-5, Presentation of Comprehensive Income. This standard requires presentation of the items of net income and other comprehensive income in one continuous statement, referred to as the statement of comprehensive income, or in two separate, but consecutive, statements of net income and other comprehensive income. The new requirements are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted and full retrospective application is required. The Company does not expect a significant impact on the Company's financial positions as a result of adoption of these new requirements.

NOTE 3—FAIR VALUE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

        ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures" establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair values into three levels as follows:

        The fair value of certain of the Company's financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other current liabilities approximate their recorded carrying amounts because of their short-term nature.

        On April 23, 2009, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Silver Lake Sumeru Fund, L.P. and Silver Lake Technology Investors Sumeru, L.P. (collectively, "Silver Lake Sumeru") pursuant to which Silver Lake Sumeru invested $60 million of new capital in the Company. As a result of the transaction, the Company issued $36.4 million in aggregate principal amount of senior convertible notes due 2019 (the "New Notes). The principal sum of the New Notes is due on May 8, 2019; however, the notes are redeemable at the option of the holder after five years from issuance and annually thereafter. Interest relating to the notes will be paid semi-annually at a rate of 6% per year the first year, 8% the second year and 10% thereafter, beginning November 8, 2009. The New Notes are convertible into Power-One common stock at a conversion price of $1.35. The conversion price is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. There are no financial covenants relating to the New Notes; however, there are certain restrictions that limit the sale of assets, and the incurrence of liens and debt.

        The Company has certain long-term notes payable through fiscal year 2013 held at a European subsidiary. Amounts outstanding at July 3, 2011 and January 2, 2011 related to the installment notes were less than $0.1 million, bearing interest at 2%. The long-term notes payable agreements require the Company's subsidiary to provide certain financial reports to the lender but do not require compliance with any financial covenants. In addition, this subsidiary has an agreement with a European bank to provide borrowings secured by the subsidiary's land and building over a ten-year period. The initial commitment to lend under this agreement was $9.2 million, with the commitment amount reduced ratably on a quarterly basis beginning March 31, 2004 and ending December 30, 2013. No borrowings were outstanding under this secured note payable agreement at July 3, 2011 and January 2, 2011. The agreement contains financial covenants that require a minimum EBITDA as a percentage of net revenue and a maximum percentage of debt to equity. At July 3, 2011 and January 2, 2011, the Company was in compliance with the debt covenants related to all long-term borrowing arrangements.

NOTE 12—CONTINGENCIES

        SynQor, Inc. v Power-One, Inc, et. al.    United States District Court, Eastern District of Texas, Civil Action No. 2:07cv497 TJW/CE. This action was initiated by SynQor, Inc. against the Company and eight other power supply manufacturers on November 13, 2007. The complaint alleges that certain products of the Company infringe certain patents held by SynQor in relation to unregulated bus converters and/or point of load (POL) converters used in intermediate bus architecture power supply systems. On December 21, 2010 the jury returned a verdict in favor of SynQor, finding that all of the defendants directly or indirectly infringed all of the claims in the five patents-in-suit and finding Power-One liable for damages in the amount of approximately $25.6 million. The patents-in-suit are United States patents and the decision covers only the sales of infringing products in the United States.

        A final judgment has not yet been entered by the District Court; however the Company believes that errors were made during the trial and that there is a strong basis for an appeal. The Patents and Trademarks Office is re-examining four of the five patents-in-suit and has issued office actions that preliminarily reject the claims in two of the four patents.

        Including interest, supplemental damages and other items, the Company believes that its maximum exposure related to this matter is $30 million. The Company has accrued $22.7 million representing what it believes to be probable and reasonably estimable based on its discussion with and analysis by counsel of the basis for its appeal.

        In addition, the Company is involved in various other claims and legal proceedings which have arisen in the normal course of business. Management does not believe that the outcome of any currently pending claims or legal proceedings in which the Company is involved will have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flow.

NOTE 13—STOCK BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

        The Company accounts for stock-based awards in accordance with ASC 718, "Compensation—Stock Compensation." The Company has granted stock awards under its 1996 and 2004 stock incentive plans, which generally vest between one and four years from the date of grant.

NOTE 13—STOCK BASED COMPENSATION PLANS (Continued)

        During the quarter ended July 3, 2011, the Company issued 0.5 million performance share unit awards. The share units vest based on the performance of the Company's stock price measured over a three-year period measured against a specified index and are eligible for a maximum payout of 150% of the share units granted. The fair value of performance share units was estimated on the date of grant using the Monte Carlo Simulation method, as the share units contain market conditions. The grant date fair value of $8.52 per share was determined using risk-free interest rate of 1.01%, volatility of 84%, and an expected term of three years.

        The fair value of non-vested share units awarded by the Company is measured using the closing fair market value as reported on the NASDAQ Stock Market of the Company's stock on the date the awards are granted. The following table presents the non-vested share unit activity under the Company's stock based compensation plans:

NOTE 14—EARNINGS PER SHARE (EPS)

        Basic and diluted earnings per common share ("EPS") are calculated utilizing the "two-class" method. Under the two-class method, EPS is computed by dividing earnings allocated to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Earnings are allocated to both common shares and participating securities based on the respective

Introduction

Overview

        We are organized into two Strategic Business Units ("SBUs"), Renewable Energy Solutions and Power Solutions. The SBUs were created during fiscal 2010 to focus on both the products and services we provide and the customers and end markets that we serve. We are focused on improving our operational and financial performance. Our top objectives are to gain additional market share, execute our operational strategy, and increase profitability and cash flows.

        Our strategy is to gain market share by entering new markets, including North America, Asia Pacific and the Middle East as well as provide our customers with innovative products and additional product offerings. Our new product introductions increase power density and provide our customers with a greater range of options to meet their diverse solar needs. Our new product offering range from a line of liquid-cooled inverters which serve the demands of the utility market, particularly in North America, to microinverters which are currently in the testing phase. In addition, we are adding software management capabilities to our inverter offering in order to allow customers the ability to remotely monitor and control individual photovoltaic plants or assets. We are also expanding our Power Solutions product line which includes our Platinum efficiency for custom front-end applications as well as other applications supporting the medical, rail and industrial equipment customers.

        As part of our renewable energy solutions operational strategy, we have entered into the North American, Chinese and Indian markets and have established new factories in North America and China, product development laboratories, and continue to build our regional sales and service teams. We will continue to invest in sales and marking, R&D and our global service team as we believe these are key drivers of our business. We are focused on reducing lead times, improving deliveries to customer request dates, and reducing freight and other transportation costs by localizing the supply chain.

        Lastly, we are continuing to drive profitability and improving our cash flows by refining our manufacturing operations thereby reducing our costs to manufacture and ramping production at our new facilities in North America and China.

        Renewable Energy Solutions:    We offer inverters, management systems, accessories and services for the renewable energy market place that includes both photovoltaic/solar and wind applications.

In the renewable energy market, we sell a broad product line of inverters and service offerings that provide our customers with industry-leading efficiency, harvesting power, uptime, reliability, monitoring through software and ease-of-installation. We sell our renewable energy products to distributors/installers, EPCs and OEMs. We are engaged in the design and production of inverters for renewable energy products that convert photovoltaic/solar or wind energy into useable AC power. Our string inverters are used in residential and small commercial applications, while our central inverters are designed for large commercial and utility installations for both the solar and wind markets. These products scale in size from 300 watts up to 2.5 MW. Our product offering also provides our customers with greater control and monitoring of their renewable energy assets using a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform.

        Power Solutions:    Our power conversion and power management solutions are used in computer servers, data storage, networking, telecommunications and industrial applications. We sell our power conversion products to OEMs, distributors, and service providers. We are engaged in the design and production of the following power conversion products:

        Recent Pronouncements and Accounting Changes—See Part I. Item 1. Note 2—"CHANGES TO SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND RELATED DISCLOSURES—Recent Pronouncements and Accounting Changes" in the notes to the consolidated condensed financial statements, herein.

        We follow accounting standards set by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, ("FASB"). The FASB sets generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") that we follow to ensure we consistently report our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. We have updated references to GAAP issued by the FASB in this "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" to reflect the guidance in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC").

Results of Operations

Consolidated

        During the first six months of fiscal 2011, demand in both the renewable energy and power markets remained strong. While certain macro-economic pressures in the European market impacted our ability to increase revenue over the levels achieved during the latter half of fiscal 2010, revenue

20



grew by approximately 38% during the first six months of 2011 as compared with the same period of 2010.

        Net Sales.    Net sales increased $137.9 million, or 37.6%, to $504.8 million for the first six months of fiscal 2011 from $366.9 million for the first six months of fiscal 2010. Net sales increased $45.8 million, or 21.3%, during the second quarter of fiscal 2011 as compared with the same period in 2010. The increase in sales is a result of volume increases in the sales of products primarily impacted by the inverter sales for the rooftop market in Italy and Europe as well as by increased sales of renewable energy products into North America and Asia.

        Net sales by business segment were as follows, in millions:

Gross Profit

                         

Gross profit, in millions

  $ 87.4   $ 79.4   $ 171.6   $ 125.1  

Gross profit margin

    33.6 %   37.0 %   34.0 %   34.1 %

        Gross profit for the first six months of fiscal 2011 was $171.6 million compared with a gross profit of $125.1 million in the comparable period in 2010. As a percentage of net sales, gross margin

21



decreased slightly to 34.0% for the first six months of fiscal 2011 from a gross margin of 34.1% for the same period in 2010. Gross profit for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 was $87.4 million compared with a gross profit of $79.4 million in the comparable period in 2010. As a percentage of net sales, gross margin decreased to 33.6% for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 from a gross margin of 37.0% for the same period in 2010. The decrease in gross margin during the second quarter of fiscal 2011 as compared with the same period of 2010 primarily related to higher factory overhead and start-up costs associated with the new facilities in North America and China.

        Selling, General and Administrative Expense.    Selling, general and administrative expense increased $8.8 million, or 26%, to $42.0 million for the first six months of fiscal 2011 from $33.2 million for the same period in 2010. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expense decreased to 8% for the first six months of fiscal 2011 from 9% for the same period in fiscal 2010. Selling, general and administrative expense increased $2.7 million, or 15%, to $20.9 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 from $18.2 million for the same period in 2010. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative was 8% for both the second quarter of fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010.

        Selling expense increased $4.0 million, or 26%, to $19.1 million for the first six months of 2011 from $15.1 million for the same period in 2010. Selling expense increased $2.0 million, or 24%, to $10.1 million for the second quarter of 2011 from $8.1 million for the same period in 2010. The increase in selling expense was primarily related to our investment in the expansion of the sales and marketing teams as well as in advertising and trade shows in order to support our initiatives to grow market share and revenue.

        General and administrative expense increased $4.8 million, or 27%, to $22.9 million for the first six months of 2011 from $18.1 million for the same period in 2010. General and administrative expense increased $0.7 million, or 7%, to $10.8 million for the second quarter of 2011 from $10.1 million for the same period in 2010. The increase in general and administrative expense is primarily a result of an increase in infrastructure to support the revenue growth.

        Research and Development.    Research and development expense increased by $6.5 million, or 38%, to $23.4 million for the first six months of fiscal 2011 from $16.9 million in the first six months of fiscal 2010. As a percentage of net sales, research and development was 5% during the first six months of 2011 and 2010. Research and development increased by $3.5 million, or 41%, to $12.1 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 from $8.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2010. As a percentage of net sales, research and development increased to 5% during the second quarter of 2011 from 4% during the same period of 2010. The increase in research and development was primarily due to our continued investment in new product introductions and expansion of research and development efforts during 2011.

        Amortization of Intangible Assets.    Amortization of intangible assets was $0.9 million for the first six months of 2011 compared to $0.7 million for the same period in 2010. Amortization of intangible assets was $0.5 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to $0.4 million in the second quarter of 2010.

        Restructuring Charge and Asset Impairment.    During 2009, we announced and implemented a plan to restructure our global organization in response to ongoing demand uncertainty and to exit our factory in the Dominican Republic. Through implementation of this action, we were able to (i) realign global manufacturing and sourcing; (ii) improve operational performance; (iii) increase efficiencies in the supply chain and manufacturing process and (iv) improve our ability to respond to customer requirements in a cost effective manner. With respect to the 2009 restructuring plan, during the three and six months ended July 4, 2010, we recorded approximately $2.5 million and $3.4 million, respectively, of restructuring charges in accordance with ASC 420 and ASC 712, as applicable.

22



In addition, we recorded $0.4 million of asset impairment charges in connection with the restructuring related to the consolidation of facilities during the three and six months ended July 4, 2010. No restructuring charges were recorded during the three or six month periods ended July 3, 2011.

        Income from Operations.    As a result of the items above, income from operations was $104.5 million for the first six months of fiscal 2011 compared with income from operations of $70.4 million for the first six months of fiscal 2010. Income from operations was $53.3 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 compared with income from operations of $49.3 million for second quarter of fiscal 2010.

        Interest Income (Expense), Net.    Net interest expense was approximately $1.8 million for the first six months of fiscal 2011, compared with net interest expense of approximately $4.0 million for the comparable period in 2010. Net interest expense was approximately $0.9 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2011, compared with net interest expense of approximately $2.0 million for the comparable period in 2010.

        Loss on Extinguishment of Debt.    Loss on extinguishment of debt was $5.7 million for the first six months of fiscal 2010. We repurchased $4.5 million in face value of outstanding 8% senior secured convertible notes due 2013 for approximately $10 million during the first six months of fiscal 2010.

        Other Income (Expense), Net.    Net other expense was $6.7 million for the first six months of fiscal 2011, compared with net other income of $1.5 million for the same period in 2010. Included in net other expense for the first six months of fiscal 2011 were losses on foreign currency transactions of approximately $4.9 million primarily related to fluctuations in the Euro, Swiss Franc and Chinese RMB. Included in net other income for the first six months of fiscal 2010 was approximately $0.5 million of gain due to changes in the market value of the embedded derivatives related to the Company's preferred stock. Also included in net other income for the first six months of fiscal 2010 were gains on foreign currency transactions of approximately $0.4 million.

        Net other expense was $4.5 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2011, compared with net other income of $0.7 million for the same period in 2010. Included in net other expense for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 were losses on foreign currency transactions of approximately $2.4 million. Included in net other income for the second quarter of 2010, were gains on foreign currency transactions of approximately $0.1 million.

        Provision for Income Taxes.    The provision for income taxes was $34.1 million for the first six months of fiscal 2011 as compared to $33.0 million recorded during the first six months of fiscal 2010. The provision for income taxes was $16.6 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 as compared to $23.3 million recorded during the second quarter of fiscal 2010. The provision for income taxes recorded during 2011 and 2010 are primarily related to taxes recorded at certain of our profitable European locations and is a result of the increase in revenue and profitability during the first six months of fiscal 2011 in certain of our taxable jurisdictions. The effective tax rate decreased to 34.7% for the first six months of 2011 from 48.4% in the comparable period of 2010 and to 35.5% for the second quarter of 2011 from 52.9% in the comparable period in 2010 as a result of the change in geographical mix of pre-tax income at our foreign locations.

        Our effective tax rate varies significantly from period to period due to the level, mix and seasonality of earnings generated in the U.S. and our various foreign jurisdictions. Under ASC 740-270, "Interim Reporting of Income Taxes," we are required to adjust our effective tax rate for each quarter to be consistent with the estimated annual effective tax rate. Jurisdictions with a projected loss where no tax benefit can be recognized are excluded from the calculation of the estimated annual effective tax rate. Applying the provisions of ASC 740-270 could result in a higher or lower effective tax rate during a particular quarter, based upon the mix and timing of actual earnings versus annual projections.

23


        Although we record deferred income tax assets in jurisdictions where we generate a loss for income tax purposes, we also record a valuation allowance against these deferred income tax assets when, in management's judgment, it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As a result, we may record no tax benefit in jurisdictions where we incur a loss, but record tax expense in jurisdictions where we record taxable income and have no net operating loss (NOL) carryforward. As a result, few meaningful comparisons can be made on our consolidated tax rates between periods.

        Equity in earnings of joint venture.    During the first six months of fiscal 2011 and 2010, we recorded approximately $0.6 million and $0.5 million, respectively, related to our equity share in the earnings of a joint venture. During each of the second quarters of fiscal 2011 and 2010, we recorded approximately $0.4 million related to our equity share in the earnings of a joint venture.

        Preferred stock dividend and accretion.    During each of the six-month periods ended July 3, 2011 and July 4, 2010, and in connection with the issuance of $23.6 million of redeemable convertible preferred stock to Silver Lake Sumeru, we recorded $1.7 million related to the 10% preferred stock dividend and accretion. Included in expense during each of the six-month periods ended July 3, 2011 and July 4, 2010 was $1.2 million related to preferred dividends declared and $0.5 million related to the periodic accretions under the interest method. During each of the second quarters of fiscal 2011 and 2010, we recorded $0.9 million related to the preferred stock dividend and accretion. Included in the expense during each of the second quarters of 2011 and 2010 was $0.6 million related to the preferred stock dividend and $0.3 million related to the periodic accretions under the interest method.

        During the three and six months ended July 3, 2011, demand in the renewable energy market continued to increase at a rapid rate over levels achieved during the same periods of 2010. The revenue growth in the renewable energy market was driven by increased demand in the overall solar market, as well as by our expansion further into Asia, Australia, North America and the Middle East. Operating margins decreased to 31% during the first six months of 2011 from 40% for the comparable period of 2010 and 31% in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 from 42% in the comparable period of 2010 as a result of higher factory overhead and start-up costs associated with the new facilities established in North America and China, as well as increased investment in sales and marketing, service teams, and research and development.

        The improved economic conditions in the power conversion industry as well as higher shipments due to order fulfillment of past due orders, improved factory performance and continued efforts in constraining operating expense contributed to increased revenue and operating profit levels during the three and six months ended July 3, 2011. During the six months ended July 3, 2011, revenue increased by $30.7 million, or 22%, as compared with the same period of 2010. Operating income increased $20.6 million to $14.9 million during the six months ended July 3, 2011 from a loss of $5.7 million during the comparable period in fiscal 2010. During the three months ended July 3, 2011, revenue increased by $8.1 million, or 11%, as compared with the same period in 2010. Operating results increased $5.6 million to $3.1 million during the three months ended July 3, 2011 from a loss of $2.5 million during the comparable period in fiscal 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

        Our cash and cash equivalents balance decreased to $142.7 million at July 3, 2011 from $227.9 million at January 2, 2011. Our primary uses of cash in the first six months of fiscal 2011 consisted of $68.4 million of cash used in operating activities, resulting primarily from $136.5 million cash paid for income taxes, decreases in accounts payable of $81.2 million, and increases in inventory of $16.3 million. Income taxes paid primarily represent Italian tax payments for 2010 as well as estimated taxes on Italian income for the first six months of fiscal 2011. In addition, $19.2 million was used for the acquisition of property and equipment, $5.2 million for the repurchase of our common stock, and $1.2 million for dividends paid related to our redeemable convertible preferred stock. Our primary sources of cash in the first six months of fiscal 2011 included net income of $62.5 million, as well as decreases in accounts receivables of $41.5 million.

        The aggregate limit on all credit facilities was approximately $169.2 million at July 3, 2011. The credit facilities bear interest on amounts outstanding at various intervals based on various applicable published market rates. At July 3, 2011, no amounts were outstanding on the credit facilities, and $0.3 million was committed to guarantee letters of credit. After consideration of these commitments, $168.9 million of additional borrowing capacity was available to us as of July 3, 2011.

        We have certain long-term notes payable in a European subsidiary and amounts outstanding at January 2, 2011, were $0.1 million and bore interest at an interest rate of 2%. The long-term notes payable agreements require our subsidiary to provide certain financial reports to the lender but do not require compliance with any financial covenants.

        The company was in compliance with all debt covenants at July 3, 2011.

        We currently anticipate that our total capital expenditures for 2011 will be in the range of $45 to $55 million primarily for manufacturing equipment and process improvements, equipment related to research and development and product development, additions and upgrades to our facilities and information technology infrastructure, and other administrative requirements. However, the amount of these anticipated capital expenditures likely will change during the year based on changes in expected revenues, our financial condition and the general economic climate.

        Based on current plans and business conditions, we believe our existing working capital and borrowing capacity, coupled with the funds that we expect to generate from our operations, will be sufficient to meet our liquidity requirements for the next twelve months. We will continue to evaluate our liquidity position, and when and if necessary explore alternatives to maximize our position and we may determine to raise additional funding through the issuance of equity or incurrence of debt.

        We may from time to time seek to retire or purchase our outstanding debt through cash purchases. Such repurchases, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

        Below we identify and disclose all of our significant off balance sheet arrangements and related party transactions. We do not utilize special purpose entities or have any known financial relationships with other companies' special purpose entities.

        Operating Leases.    We enter into operating leases where and when the economic climate is favorable.

        Purchase Commitments.    We have purchase commitments for materials, supplies, services, and property, plant and equipment as part of the normal course of business. Certain supply contracts may contain penalty provisions for early termination. Based on current expectations, we do not believe that we are reasonably likely to incur any material amount of penalties under these contracts.

        Other Contractual Obligations.    We do not have material financial guarantees that are reasonably likely to affect liquidity.

        Related Parties.    We have entered into certain transactions, or have other arrangements with related parties. (See Note 15 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Part I, Item I)

We calculated estimated interest payments for long-term debt as follows: for fixed-rate term debt, we calculated interest based on the applicable rates and payment dates; for variable-rate term debt, we calculated interest based on the most recent applicable interest rates in effect.

Item 3—Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

        Market risks relating to our operations result primarily from changes in interest rates on outstanding financial debt instruments and changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

        Debt.    Our exposure to interest rate risk results from financial debt instruments that we enter. We may also enter into derivative financial instrument transactions, such as swaps, in order to manage or reduce our exposure to interest rate changes related to our indebtedness. However, under no circumstances do we enter into derivative or other financial instrument transactions for speculative purposes. We are exposed to cash flow risk due to changes in market interest rates related to our outstanding debt. For example, in Europe our variable long term debt bears interest on borrowings outstanding at various time intervals and is based on the Euro Interbank Offered Rate (EURIBOR). Our principal risk with respect to our variable long-term debt is to changes in this market rate.

        The table below presents principal cash flows and related weighted average interest rates for our long-term debt obligations at July 3, 2011 by expected maturity dates. The information is presented in U.S. dollar equivalents, our reporting currency, and parenthetically in Eurodollar, where applicable. Additionally, the U.S. dollar equivalent carrying value of Eurodollars denominated debt is sensitive to foreign currency exchange rates. However, a 10% change in the U.S. dollar exchange rate against these currencies would not be expected to have a significant effect on our future earnings.

        Foreign Currency.    A significant portion of our business operations are conducted in various countries in Europe and Asia. As a result, we have a certain degree of market risk with respect to our cash flows due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates when transactions are denominated in currencies other than our functional currency, including inter-company transactions. Historically, we have not actively engaged in substantial exchange rate hedging activities, and at July 3, 2011, we had not entered into any significant foreign exchange contracts. A hypothetical 10% adverse change in foreign currency translation rates would result in a reduction of reported net sales of approximately $34 million and a reduction of reported net income before income taxes of approximately $12 million in the six months ended July 3, 2011. A hypothetical 10% adverse change in foreign currency translation rates would result in a reduction of reported total assets at July 3, 2011 of approximately $53 million. These estimates assume an adverse shift in all foreign currency exchange rates, which do not always move in the same direction; actual results may differ materially.

Item 4—Controls and Procedures

        Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act") is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods.

        As of July 3, 2011, we had carried out an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e), are effective in that they are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We review our disclosure controls and procedures on an ongoing basis and may from time to time make changes aimed at enhancing their effectiveness and to ensure that they evolve with our business.

        There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f), during the quarter ended July 3, 2011 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

        This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as codified in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended from time to time. The forward-looking statements include comments and predictions regarding future events and our future results that are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts, and projections about the industries in which we operate and the beliefs and assumptions of our management. Words such as "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "plan," "intend," "continue," "may," "can," "believe" and similar expressions reflecting something other than historical fact are intended to identify forward- looking statements, but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. Any statements which refer to projections of our future financial performance, our anticipated growth and trends in our businesses, and other characterizations of future events or circumstances are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees, but rather are predictions of and make certain assumptions regarding anticipated future results. Achievement of actual results is dependent upon and will involve a variety of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from assumptions and predictions.

        Risks and uncertainties that could affect our results include, but are not limited to, the risk that the market for the sale of certain products and services may not develop as expected; the impact of competitive products or technologies; competitive pricing pressures; the ability to secure sufficient quantities of components within the time frame necessary to meet our customers' requirements; increases in raw material costs; the ability to resolve contract manufacturer supply chain constraints that might impact on-time deliveries to customers; inventory increases tied to component acquisitions or end product build up based on forecasts that do not materialize in part or in full; delays or cancellations of new product designs; delays or cancellations of orders by customers; the difficulty of efficiently managing the company's cost structure for capital expenditures, materials and overhead, as well as operating expenses such as wages and benefits due to the vertical integration of the company's manufacturing processes; the ability to achieve and execute upon planned movements of the location of manufacturing selected products, specifically the achievement of projected manufacturing realignment to, and increase in manufacturing utilization and output in, our China and North American facilities; the ability to implement our plans to improve operational efficiency; potential business disruptions, including labor unrest, work stoppages, and short or long term labor disruptions; the existence or enactment of adverse U.S. and foreign government regulation; the reduction or discontinuation of incentives; the risk that the development of products and services may not proceed as planned; general adverse domestic and international economic conditions including interest rate and currency exchange rate fluctuations; costs involved (i.e. the total amount, and/or the amount incurred in any given quarter) due to attacks and challenges to, or assertions by us of, our intellectual property rights; the ability to attract and retain key personnel; the ability to manage our international operations and currency exchange rate fluctuations relating to transactions or accounts conducted or maintained in currencies other than U.S. dollars; the ability to capture customers in new markets that we are pursuing; market fluctuations or volatility that could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline; and changes in the regulatory environment in which our business operates. Persons reading this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are cautioned that such forward-looking statements are only predictions, and actual events or results may differ materially and adversely. In evaluating such statements, readers should specifically consider the various factors which could cause actual events or results to differ materially and adversely from those indicated by such forward-looking statements. For a detailed description of such factors, see "Risk Factors" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 2, 2011. We undertake no obligation to modify or revise any forward- looking statement to take into account or otherwise reflect subsequent events or circumstances arising after the date that the forward-looking statement was made.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1—Legal Proceedings

        SynQor, Inc. v Power-One, Inc, et. al.    United States District Court, Eastern District of Texas, Civil Action No. 2:07cv497 TJW/CE. This action was initiated by SynQor, Inc. against the Company and eight other power supply manufacturers on November 13, 2007. The complaint alleges that certain products of the Company infringe certain patents held by SynQor in relation to unregulated bus converters and/or point of load (POL) converters used in intermediate bus architecture power supply systems. On December 21, 2010 the jury returned a verdict in favor of SynQor, finding that all of the defendants directly or indirectly infringed all of the claims in the five patents-in-suit and finding Power-One liable for damages in the amount of approximately $25.6 million. The patents-in-suit are United States patents and the decision covers only the sales of infringing products in the United States.

        A final judgment has not yet been entered by the District Court; however the Company believes that errors were made during the trial and that there is a strong basis for an appeal. The Patents and Trademarks Office is re-examining four of the five patents-in-suit and has issued office actions that preliminarily reject the claims in two of the four patents.

        Including interest, supplemental damages and other items, the Company believes that its maximum exposure related to this matter is $30 million. The Company has accrued $22.7 million representing what it believes to be probable and reasonably estimable based on its discussion with and analysis by counsel of the basis for its appeal.

        In addition, the Company is involved in various other claims and legal proceedings which have arisen in the normal course of business. Management does not believe that the outcome of any currently pending claims or legal proceedings in which the Company is involved will have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flow.

Item 1A—Risk Factors

        There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in the "Risk Factors" section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2011.

Item 5—Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
