6.    RESTRUCTURING CHARGE

In connection  with the Company's  restructuring  plan following the merger with
Zytec Corporation,  the Company recorded a pre-tax  restructuring charge of $9.6
million during the first quarter of 1998. This charge relates to the elimination
of duplicate  facilities in an effort to reduce costs  pursuant to the Company's
integration  plan.  Specific  restructuring  actions  include the elimination of
three  manufacturing  facilities  through  the  consolidation  of  manufacturing
operations,  with  corresponding personnel reductions,  the realignment of the
Company's   workforce  to  eliminate   duplicate   functions   particularly   in
administrative   areas,  the   rationalization   of  product  lines,  and  other
cost-savings actions.

The  components  of the  restructuring  charge at April 3, 1998 were as  follows
($000s):

                                         Amount   
                                        ---------

Employee termination benefits            $3,956
Product line rationalization              2,411
Asset write-offs                          1,231
Facility closures                         2,002
                                        ---------
                                         $9,600
                                        =========

Employee  termination  benefits  primarily  represent  severance  pay and  other
benefits   associated  with  the  elimination  of  approximately  400  positions
worldwide,  with  more  than 70% of the  eliminated  positions  coming  from the
rationalization  of certain  duplicate  manufacturing  locations in Europe.  The
provision for the facility closures includes lease termination payments, service
contracts  obligations,  and other exit costs associated with facility closures.
The product line  rationalization  provision of the restructuring charge relates
to the  discontinuation  of non-core  product  lines and  write-offs  of certain
inventory items not transferable to other locations. In addition,  certain fixed
assets  (including  duplicate   management   information  systems  and  unusable
equipment) were written down to their net realizable value.

Total  expected  cash  expenditures  relating  to the  restructuring  charge are
estimated to be approximately $6.0 million, which, with the exception of certain
lease-related cash  requirements,  is expected to be paid within the next twelve
months.

As of April 3, 1998,  $6.0  million of the  restructuring  charge is included in
accrued liabilities and the remainder is recorded as a reduction in the carrying
amount of related assets.

                         PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

                  ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                   FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

In connection  with the Company's  restructuring  plan following the merger with
Zytec Corporation,  the Company recorded a pre-tax  restructuring charge of $9.6
million during the first quarter of 1998.  Including the  restructuring  charge,
net income was $3.2 million, or $0.08 per share. Sales for the quarter increased
29% to $147.2 million from $114.5 million in the first quarter of 1997.

Including the  restructuring  charge,  operating  income in the first quarter of
1998 was $5.3 million, or 3.6% of sales, compared to $11.0 million, or 9.6% of
sales, in the first quarter of 1997.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The 29% sales  increase in sales over the first  quarter of 1997  stemmed from a
stronger than anticipated  demand from customers in the computing sector.  Sales
to  networking  customers  met the  Company's  expectations  while demand in the
telecommunications  and wireless  markets was lower than expected as a result of
reduced Asian end use demand and customers' inventory reduction programs.

Although gross profit for the current quarter increased by $8.7 million over the
first  quarter  of 1997,  gross  margin of 26.0% was about  level with the 25.8%
reported for the same period a year ago.  Margins continue to be impacted by the
shift in sales mix to the Company's  high-volume,  lower-margin  OEM  customers.
Although  the Company  continues  to focus on reducing  manufacturing  costs and
improving  overall  processes,  the Company does not  anticipate  that its gross
margins  will  increase   significantly  from  1997  levels  due  to  continuing
competitive pricing pressures and changes in product mix, especially as more OEM
programs are awarded.

For the first  quarter of 1998,  selling,  general and  administrative  ("SG&A")
expenses as a percentage  of sales  decreased  to 9.8%  compared to 10.5% in the
year ago quarter. However, in absolute dollar terms, SG&A increased $2.3 million
primarily  due  to  integration  activities  following  the  merger  with  Zytec
Corporation  and the inclusion of the Elba Group  acquired in July of 1997.  The
integration costs were incurred to support marketing  activities,  to change the
Company's  name to  Artesyn  Techonologies,  to  begin  implementation  of a new
enterprise-wide  information system, and to familiarize the Company's employees,
customers,  suppliers  and  investors  with  the  resources  of the new  Artesyn
Technologies.

Research and development ("R&D") spending increased  approximately $2.5 million,
or 38%,  compared to the first  quarter of 1997.  The higher  expense  level was
primarily  attributable  to the cost of developing new products  consistent with
the Company's ongoing commitment to develop and produce high-quality, innovative
products targeted at the communications  industry. As a percentage of sales, R&D
expenses were 6.1% for the first quarter of 1998 versus 5.7% for the  comparable
prior year period.  The Company  believes  that the timely  introduction  of new
technology and products is an important  component of its  competitive  strategy
and  anticipates  future R&D  spending  will not  significantly  differ from the
historical trend.

The Company recorded a pre-tax  restructuring  charge of $9.6 million during the
first  quarter of 1998.  This charge  relates to the  elimination  of  duplicate
facilities in an effort to reduce costs  pursuant to the  Company's  integration
plan.   Specific   restructuring   actions  include  the  elimination  of  three
manufacturing facilities through the consolidation of manufacturing  operations,
with  corresponding  personnel  reductions,  the  realignment  of the  Company's
workforce to eliminate duplicate functions particularly in administrative areas,
the  rationalization  of product lines, and other  cost-savings  actions.  Total
expected cash expenditures relating to the restructuring charge are estimated to
be   approximately   $6.0  million,   which,   with  the  exception  of  certain
lease-related cash requirementsis, is expected to be paid within the next twelve
months.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At April 3, 1998,  the  Company's  cash balance  decreased to $50.7 million from
$55.4 million on January 2, 1998 due to  significant  uses of cash for principal
debt repayments and capital expenditures. These activities were funded with cash
from operations and proceeds from exercises of stock options.

Inventories  increased  $6.3 million,  or 11%, from January 2, 1998 primarily in
the  Power  Conversion  division  as a result  of  production  planning  to meet
manufacturing lead times and anticipated demand for new product introductions.

Accounts  payable  increased  $6.4 million,  or 17%, from January 2, 1998 due to
increases in capital expenditures, operating expenses, and material purchases to
support the Company's growth in sales.

Cash  provided by operations  increased to $11.1 million for the thirteen  weeks
ended April 3, 1998 from $6.6 million for the thirteen weeks ended April 4, 1997
primarily due to income from operations excluding the $9.6 million restructuring
charge  partially  offset by smaller  increases in accounts  payable and accrued
liabilities.

Net cash used in investing  activities increased to $5.3million for the thirteen
weeks ended April 3, 1998 from $2.8 million for the  thirteen  weeks ended April
4, 1997 due to higher equipment purchases.

Net cash used in financing  activities of $10.1  million for the thirteen  weeks
ended  April  3,  1998  reflects  mainly  long-term  debt  principal  repayments
including $2.2 million on the Company's  seven-year term loan and  approximately
$7.0 million on the  Company's  Austrian  subsidiary's revolving loans and notes
payable.

The Company  has a $20 million  revolving  line of credit that  extends  through
April 1, 2000. As of April 3, 1998, the Company had made no borrowings under the
line of credit and was in compliance  with the agreement's  covenants.  Based on
current plans and business  conditions,  the Company  believes that its cash and
equivalents,  its available  credit line,  cash generated from  operations,  and
other  financing  activities  are  expected  to  be  adequate  to  meet  capital
expenditures,  working capital requirements, debt and capital lease obligations,
and operating lease commitments through the remainder of fiscal 1998.
