Board of Directors:

Monarch Activist Partners (Monarch) and Ancora Capital (Ancora) are both significant shareholders of Peak International (PEAK), each owning more than 5% of the company. As evidenced by this 13D filing, a group has been formed with the company's largest shareholder (and director) Skiritai Capital. Both Ancora and Monarch have individually articulated their concerns about the strategic direction of the company, but have now lost faith in the board's ability to exercise responsible business judgment and fulfill its fiduciary responsibilities.

As significant investors we are growing increasingly alarmed by the communication we are receiving from the company. In a letter to Monarch dated February 2, 2008, Peak director Christine Russell wrote:

It is unconscionable that any Board member could speak about acquisitions when the CEO (as of the last investor call) had not even presented a turn-around plan to the Board to stem the company's dismal operating performance and cash bleeding. As a responsible fiduciary you would expect a plan to be on its way to execution by the time of an investor call that reports a continuing decline in the business. However, in Peak's case a plan had not even been delivered to the Board (according to Dean Personne's statement) despite several quarters of lost revenue and a declining cash position. The Board as characterized by Ms. Russell's statement not only lacks a sense of urgency, but is completely misguided in thinking that the current operators who have failed to deliver results for Peak shareholders should be in any position to consolidate companies into Peak.

Ms. Russell is a CFO of a public company (Virage Logic Corporation, ticker "VIRL"), however her statement suggests she may need to revisit Finance 101. Peak trades at 0.3x book value and nearly a negative enterprise value, making its equity useless as currency for an acquisition. If she intends to use the only attractive asset the company has, its cash, for acquisitions then she would not only eliminate the single stellar attribute of the company, but take away a valuable resource often required in turnarounds. We are astounded by her lack of ability to apply basic financial principles to PEAK's current predicament.

The fact that she as a Board member isn't solely focused on turn-around efforts is truly scary and speaks to how misguided the Board is in setting strategic direction.

Since the Board appears to have appointed Ms. Russell as their spokesperson, we can only assume her views represent that of the rest of the Board (except for Mr. Silvestri). By failing to act quarter after quarter to right the business and instead speak of acquisitions as if the company were operating in some other universe, we have come to the firm conclusion that the Board is not in the least concerned about protecting shareholder value. By failing to right size the business and cut costs to mitigate the company's cash burn we believe that the Board members are in breach of their fiduciary responsibilities and need to step down immediately.

As the current Board appears to be unwilling to step down we are seeking to replace the existing Board, except for Russ Silvestri, with new directors who represent significant shareholders and will do right by the vast majority of Peak's investors. We hope the current Board will not opt to go forward in a protracted battle as it has done enough to erode value. It is time for individuals with a stake in the company's future to have a say in how it operates. We have already spoken to and identified shareholders who represent what we believe to be 40-45% (including ourselves and Skiratai) of the Company's outstanding shares who would vote for our proposals. We believe that a proxy solicitation will easily put us over the 50% level needed to remove the current Board members and replace them with our nominees. Therefore, any action taken by the current Board to oppose us and block our efforts will simply be self-serving entrenchment. All of the current directors face continuing embarrassment as a result of their inaction and the prospect of looming litigation should the current Board fail to turn the company around.

We hope you give this letter careful deliberation and for once in your tenures as directors do the right thing and let the company's owners take the helm as fiduciaries.

Sincerely,

/s/ James Chadwick
