Exhibit 99.2

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

On May 16, 2014, Emerson Electric Co. ("Emerson") and Bel Fuse Inc. ("Bel", the "Company", "we", or "our") announced the execution of a definitive agreement in which Emerson would sell its Emerson Network Power Connectivity Solutions business ("Connectivity Solutions" or "CS") to Bel for $105 million including working capital adjustments (the "CS Transaction").  The CS Transaction closed in two stages.  The purchase of the U.S. and U.K. subsidiaries closed on July 25, 2014 and the purchase of the China subsidiary closed on August 29, 2014.  These pro forma financial statements combine the financial information of all subsidiaries within the CS Transaction.

On June 19, 2014, Bel completed its acquisition of the Power-One Power Solutions ("Power Solutions" or "PS") business of ABB Ltd, ("ABB") pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement with Power-One, Inc. ("Power-One") and PWO Holdings B.V. ("PWO Holdings" and, together with Power-One, collectively, the "Sellers").  Bel paid approximately $117 million in cash on a cash and debt-free basis.

On June 19, 2014, the Company had entered into a senior Credit and Security Agreement (the "New Secured Credit Agreement") with KeyBank National Association ("KeyBank"), as administrative agent, swing line lender and issuing lender, and the other lenders identified therein.  The Company is the borrower under the New Secured Credit Agreement, which consists of (i) a $50 million revolving credit facility, (ii) a $145 million term loan facility ("Term Loan") and (iii) a $70 million delayed draw term loan ("Delayed Draw Term Loan"). Concurrent with its entry into the New Secured Credit Agreement, the Company borrowed under the New Secured Credit Agreement to complete its acquisition of PS business from ABB.   On July 25, 2014, the Company borrowed under the New Secured Credit Agreement to complete its acquisition of the U.S. and U.K. Connectivity Solutions subsidiaries of Emerson. The Term Loan borrowing of $145 million was applied to the acquisition of the PS business and the combined borrowings of $90 million were applied to the acquisition of the CS business ($70 million related to the Delayed Draw Term Loan and $20 million in borrowings under the revolving credit facility). The CS Transaction was funded with the aforementioned borrowings and $12 million in cash paid by the Company.

On July 25, 2013, ABB completed its acquisition of Power-One, which was a former U.S. based, publicly-held corporation and which included the PS business. Due to the change in control of Power-One, its assets and liabilities were remeasured to fair value as of July 25, 2013 to reflect ABB's basis in the assets and liabilities of Power-One. The new basis of accounting recorded by ABB upon acquisition of Power-One was pushed down to the combined carve-out financial statements of Power Solutions as of July 25, 2013. This acquisition of Power-One by ABB on July 25, 2013 results in a split presentation of the Power Solutions business during 2013.  The period prior to the acquisition by ABB is referred to as the Predecessor period and the period subsequent to the acquisition by ABB is referred to as the Successor period.

Because we now control both the PS and CS businesses, we have applied acquisition accounting as if both transactions closed as of January 1, 2013. Our preliminary purchase price has been allocated to the respective assets and liabilities based on current estimates and currently available information and is subject to revision based on final determinations of fair value and the final allocation of purchase price to the assets and liabilities of the respective businesses.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2013 and for the six month period ended June 30, 2014, give effect to our acquisitions of Power Solutions and Connectivity Solutions and the financing obtained to fund these acquisitions.  The historical consolidated financial information has been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements to give effect to or remove the effect of events that are (1) directly attributable to these acquisitions, (2) factually supportable, and (3) expected to have a continuing impact on our results.  The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations do not reflect any of Bel management's expectations for revenue enhancements, cost savings from the combined companies' operating efficiencies, synergies or other restructurings, or the costs and related liabilities that would be incurred to achieve such revenue enhancements, cost savings from operating efficiencies, synergies or restructurings, which could result from the these acquisitions.

PF-1

The following pro forma financial information is based on our historical consolidated financial statements and the historical combined financial statements of Power Solutions and Connectivity Solutions and is intended to provide you with information about how each transaction might have affected our historical consolidated statement of operations if it had both transactions closed as of January 1, 2013.  We have not presented a pro forma balance sheet herein, as the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2014, filed with the SEC on November 10, 2014, contains the information of Power Solutions and Connectivity Solutions, including a preliminary allocation of purchase price to the assets and liabilities acquired, as of September 30, 2014.

The pro forma financial information below is based on available information and assumptions that we believe are reasonable.  The pro forma financial information is for illustrative and informational purposes only and is not intended to represent or be indicative of what our results of operations would have been had the transactions occurred on the date indicated.  The pro forma financial information also should not be considered representative of our future financial condition or results of operations.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS


(1)   Basis of Presentation

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations have been prepared using the historical consolidated financial statements of Bel, the historical combined carve-out financial statements of Power Solutions and the historical combined carve-out financial statements of Connectivity Solutions.  Bel's operating results for the year ended December 31, 2013 reflect the operating results of TRP and Array, acquired by Bel in March and August 2013, respectively, only for the periods from their respective acquisition dates.  The pro forma statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2013 does not contain the pro forma effects of the TRP and Array acquisitions.

Because we now control Power Solutions and Connectivity Solutions, we have applied acquisition accounting as if both acquisitions had closed as of January 1, 2013. Our preliminary purchase price has been allocated to the respective assets and liabilities based on current estimates and currently available information and is subject to revision based on final determinations of fair value and the final allocation of purchase price to the assets and liabilities of the respective businesses. Purchase accounting adjustments are further described in Notes 3 and 5 below.

In addition to presenting Bel's operations as reported in our historical financial statements, our unaudited condensed combined pro forma statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2013 includes the combined results of Power Solutions for the 12 months ended December 29, 2013 as well as the combined results of Connectivity Solutions for the 12 months ended September 30, 2013.  The pro forma statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2014 include the combined historical results of Bel, Power Solutions and Connectivity Solutions for the six month period ended June 30, 2014.   We believe presenting these combined results is useful in illustrating the presentation of our pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the pro forma periods presented.

Conforming Periods


The latest interim period for Bel prior to the CS acquisition is the second quarter results for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014, while the audited carve-out financials contained in Exhibit 99.1 of this Form 8-K/A2 include the ten-month period ended July 25, 2014.  In order for the unaudited interim pro forma results to be comparable, such interim results of Bel, PS and CS must only reflect six months.  Accordingly, CS's historical financial information for the statement of operations covering the three-month period ended December 31, 2013 and the 25-day period ending July 25, 2014 have been excluded, as follows:

Transaction-Related Adjustments – Power Solutions

(a)
Represents Bel's purchase accounting adjustment for estimated incremental amortization expense of $1.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 and less than $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 resulting from $19.6 million of estimated fair value adjustments related to developed technology and license agreements acquired by Bel.  These adjustments represent the reversal of previously recorded amortization by ABB and the inclusion of Bel's amortization based on its fair value estimates of the developed technology and license agreements acquired.  Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight line basis over an estimated useful life of 8 years.  Also represents the reversal of a non-recurring inventory step-up of $4.4 million.

(b)
Represents Bel's purchase accounting adjustments including estimated incremental depreciation expense of $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 resulting from estimated fair value adjustments to property, plant and equipment of $8 million with remaining useful lives ranging from 3 to 20 years.  Also represents Bel's purchase accounting adjustment for estimated incremental amortization expense of $1.1 million and $0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 and the six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, resulting from $12.7 million of estimated fair value adjustments to customer relationships and non-compete agreements acquired by Bel.

(c)
Represents an adjustment related to amortization on trade names included in the carve-out financials as compared to the trade names actually acquired by Bel.  The value of the trade names are included in the Power Solutions carve-out financials, along with the associated amortization on these trade names since ABB's acquisition in July 2013.  Bel's acquisition of the Power Solutions business of Power-One did not include the Power-One trade name.  As such, this pro forma adjustment removes amortization expense related to the Power-One trade name of $0.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 and $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

(d)
Represents the reversal of non-recurring employee-related expense incurred in connection with the acquisition of PS by Bel.

(e)
In connection with the acquisition, we have incurred and will continue to incur acquisition-related costs, including fees paid to professional advisors for legal and accounting services and other fees, which have been adjusted in the pro forma results above.  This pro forma adjustment includes the reversal of $1.0 million of acquisition-related costs incurred in connection with the Power Solutions acquisition during the six months ended June 30, 2014.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company incurred $3.6 million of acquisition-related costs associated with this acquisition, with further costs expected to be reported during the fourth quarter of 2014.

(f)
Represents net increases in interest expense of $5.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2013 and $2.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014 related to the Term Loan and Bel's revolving credit facility, consisting of:

The interest rates noted in the table above related to the Term Loan represent the weighted-average 3-month LIBOR rate for the period presented, plus the current margin in effect per the terms of the credit agreement.  An increase in the interest rate by 1/8 percent would result in an increase in interest expense of less than $0.1 million and $0.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2013, as compared to the interest expense amounts depicted above.

(g)
A zero tax effect has been provided on the pro forma adjustments since the entities affected by the adjustments are in a full valuation allowance position and any tax effect of the pro forma adjustments would be offset by an adjustment to the valuation allowance.

Items Not Adjusted in Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information – Power Solutions

(a)
We have not adjusted depreciation expense related to property, plant and equipment during the six months ended June 30, 2014, as we believe the fair value adjustments recorded if Bel had acquired Power Solutions on January 1, 2013 would reflect similar fair values to those recorded by ABB in connection with its July 2013 acquisition of Power-One.  The historical statement of operations for Power Solutions for the six months ended June 30, 2014 already includes additional depreciation based on ABB's fair value adjustments and we believe that any difference in Bel's calculation would be immaterial.

(b)
As a result of the PS Transaction, ABB will no longer provide a number of corporate services to the Power Solutions business, the cost of which was previously allocated in the historical financial statements of Power Solutions.  In the future, these services will be provided under new arrangements with Bel and third parties.  No adjustment has been reflected in the pro forma statements of operations for any differences between the amount of estimated costs that will be incurred as part of these new arrangements and the amounts of historically allocated corporate service costs from ABB, as the difference is not deemed material.

Transaction-Related Adjustments – Connectivity Solutions

(a)
In connection with the acquisition of Connectivity Solutions, we have incurred and will continue to incur acquisition-related costs, including fees paid to professional advisors for legal and accounting services and other fees, which have been adjusted in the pro forma results above.  This pro forma adjustment includes the reversal of $0.4 million of acquisition-related costs incurred in connection with the Connectivity Solutions acquisition during the six months ended June 30, 2014.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company incurred $1.6 million of acquisition-related costs associated with this acquisition, with further costs expected to be reported during the fourth quarter of 2014.
(b)
Represents an estimated increase in amortization expense of $1.1 million and $2.3 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2013, respectively, as a result of the increase to the fair value of the finite-lived intangible assets related to developed technology, non-compete agreements and customer relationships.  These assets are amortized over estimated useful lives ranging from 3 to 19 years.

Items Not Adjusted in Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information – Connectivity Solutions

(a)
Bel increased Connectivity Solutions inventory by $2.4 million, to estimated fair value, at the acquisition date.  Cost of sales will increase by this amount during the first inventory turn subsequent to the acquisition date.  These costs are not included in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations as they are considered non-recurring.

(b)
As a result of the CS Transaction, Emerson will no longer provide a number of corporate services to the Connectivity Solutions business, the cost of which was previously allocated in the historical financial statements of Connectivity Solutions.  In the future, these services will be provided under new arrangements with Bel and third parties.  No adjustment has been reflected in the pro forma statements of operations for any differences between the amount of estimated costs that will be incurred as part of these new arrangements and the amounts of historically allocated corporate service costs from Emerson, as the difference is not deemed material.
