STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Today, the Company is providing an update on its expected results for the fourth quarter of 2012 and the first quarter of 2013.&nbsp;On November&nbsp;26, 2012, the Company stated it expected to report
fourth quarter fully diluted earnings at an essentially break-even level.&nbsp;The Company now expects to record a substantial after tax loss, primarily&nbsp;as a result of certain charges recorded for the fourth quarter.&nbsp;Commenting on the
fourth quarter, Mr.&nbsp;Simms stated, &#147;Our earlier expectations of essentially break-even results for the fourth quarter assumed an operating loss would be offset by the previously disclosed gain on the settlement of certain insurance
litigation.&nbsp;Our actual operating loss was larger than forecast, and we also recorded several large non-cash charges, including the&nbsp;impairment of goodwill, an increase in reserves for certain inventories of raw materials and components, and
a reduction in the carrying value of certain deferred tax assets.&nbsp;Accordingly, we anticipate Vicor will report for the fourth quarter an after tax loss, on a per share basis, of approximately ($0.12) per share.&nbsp;Our final results will be
disclosed on February&nbsp;26</FONT><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="1"><SUP STYLE="vertical-align:baseline; position:relative; bottom:.8ex">th</SUP></FONT><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">.&#148; </FONT></P>

27%.&nbsp;We are therefore expecting to record first quarter revenue and earnings sequentially lower than the fourth quarter.&nbsp;Reflecting our near-term demand expectations, we undertook a reduction in force on February&nbsp;12</FONT><FONT

manufacturing personnel within our Brick Business Unit and our VI Chip subsidiary continuing on an as-needed basis.&nbsp;As I stated in November, we believe our financial performance may not improve until after new products in which we have made
considerable investment begin to contribute to our revenues and earnings.&nbsp;We began introducing these products in 2011, and will have additional new product introductions throughout 2013.&nbsp;Anticipating that these products will have more
favorable performance and cost attributes, we remain committed to our strategy and the organizational changes we have made to support this strategy.&#148; </FONT></P>
