quarter, ending a year in which the company solidified its position as a
leader in the development of advanced electrical power management
solutions. Over the past year, Power Analytics saw its customer list

The company also formed and strengthened partnerships with industry
leaders including Envirotrol, Rovisys, Intel (News - Alert) and EnerNex Smart Grid
Labs, which will favorably impact growth in the coming year.
"I'm pleased with the progress we made this past year, particularly in
the fourth quarter," said Michael J. Nark, President and CEO of Power
Analytics. "Our ability to consistently deliver ROI for our customers by
improving throughput capacit, decreasing energy costs, and favorably
impacting downtime and maintenance costs will fuel our future growth,"
he said.
