components and sub-assemblies within the end user's equipment. XP segments its
business into Communications, Defence and Avionics, Industrial and Medical. By
servicing these markets, XP provides investors with access to technology and
industrial sectors of the worldwide electronics market.

The market is highly fragmented and made up of a large number of Original
Equipment Manufacturers who source standard and modified standard power
supplies from several hundred power supply companies.
