3.   INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

        In October 1997, the Company completed its initial public offering and
issued 5,000,000 shares of its common stock to the public at a price of $11.50
per share. The Company received cash of approximately $52.5million, net of
underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses. Upon the
closing of the initial public offering, all outstanding shares of the Company's
then outstanding Convertible Preferred Stock were automatically converted into
shares of common stock.

4.   INCOME TAXES

        The effective tax rate for the six months ended October 31, 1997 was
14%. This rate is based on the Company's estimation of the expected geographical
mix of its fiscal 1998 income.

<PAGE>   7

5.   NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

        Net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average
number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period.
Common equivalent shares consist of convertible preferred stock (using the "if
converted" method) and stock options (using the "treasury stock" method). Common
equivalent shares are excluded from the computation if their effect is
antidilutive, except that, pursuant to a Securities and Exchange Commission
Staff Accounting Bulletin, convertible preferred stock and warrants (using the
"if converted" method) and common equivalent shares (using the "treasury stock"
method and the initial public offering price) issued in conjunction with and
subsequent to the Recapitalization of the Company have been included in the
computation as if they were outstanding for all periods for which net income
(loss) per share data has been presented.

6.   RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

        In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share". This
statement is effective for the Company's period ending January 31, 1998. The
Statement adjusts the calculation of earnings per share under generally accepted
accounting principles. Under the new standard, primary earnings per share is
replaced by basic earnings per share and fully diluted earnings per share is
replaced by diluted earnings per share. If the Company had adopted this
Statement for the three and six months ended October 31, 1997 and October 31,
1996, respectively, the Company's pro forma earnings (loss) per share would have
been as follows:

        In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income" (FAS
130) and No. 131 "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information" (FAS 131). The company does not believe that FAS 130 and 131 will
have any material impact on its financial reporting requirements.

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results 
        of Operations

        This quarterly report of Form 10-Q contains trend analysis and other
forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such
statements include expectations as to future operating results, future
expenditures, future cash requirements, and future industry conditions and
involve risks and uncertainties. The Company's actual results could differ
materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements as a result
of certain factors, including those set forth under "Factors That May Affect
Future Operating Results" below and elsewhere in the Form 10-Q. A more detailed
discussion of risks faced by the Company is set forth in the Company's
Registration Statement on Form S-1 (SEC File No. 333-34557) filed with the SEC
in connection with the Company's initial public offering.

OVERVIEW

        International Manufacturing Services, Inc. provides product design,
prototyping, printed circuit board assembly, final system assembly, materials
procurement, inventory management, testing, packaging, distribution and depot
repair services to original equipment manufacturers in the electronics industry.

        The Company's Hong Kong operations, which commenced business in 1983,
were acquired in 1990 by Maxtor Corporation ("Maxtor"), a manufacturer of hard
disk drives, along with other manufacturing operations and assets. International
Manufacturing Services, Inc. was formed in November 1994 as a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Maxtor. In June 1996 the Company was recapitalized as an
independent company.

        In this regard, the Company redeemed approximately 76.5% of Maxtor's
share ownership with a combination of $25.0 million cash, $20.0 million
principal senior subordinated notes (the "Maxtor Notes") and a warrant for
300,000 shares of Class A Common Stock. The Company raised the cash portion of
the redemption price by issuing to a group of investors a combination of Common
Stock, Preferred Stock and junior subordinated notes. The redemption and share
transactions are hereafter referred to as the "Recapitalization". For accounting
purposes, the redemption of Maxtor's share in ownership was treated as a
recapitalization and, accordingly, no change in the accounting basis of the
Company's assets was made. After the closing of the Company's initial public
offering in October, 1997, the Company repaid the Maxtor Notes and the warrant
was automatically terminated in accordance with its terms.

        Prior to fiscal 1996, substantially all the Company's revenues were
derived from sales to Maxtor. In connection with the Recapitalization, Maxtor
agreed to purchase from the Company certain quarterly minimum quantities of
products through June 1999, provided that the Company continues to be
competitive on the bases of price and quality. Over the last two fiscal years,
the Company has evolved from being a captive EMS provider to Maxtor to an
independent EMS provider serving 15 additional customers. These customers
collectively represented approximately 56.0% of total revenues for the six
months ended October 31, 1997. The Company typically enters into manufacturing
contracts with each of its customers, but has no long-term volume purchase
commitments from any customer other than Maxtor. The Company remains dependent
upon a relatively small number of customers for a significant percentage of its
revenues. For fiscal 1996 and 1997, and the six months ended October 31, 1997,
Maxtor accounted for approximately 83.1%, 48.6% and 44.0 % of total revenues,
respectively, and Bay Networks accounted for approximately 1.6%, 31.3% and 42.0%
of total revenues, respectively.

        During fiscal 1997, the Company took significant steps to expand its
manufacturing operations and to broaden the range of the manufacturing services
it provides. As part of its strategy to locate operations in low cost regions,
the Company transferred its Hong Kong manufacturing operations to China while
retaining its component procurement and regional administrative functions in
Hong Kong. In connection with the relocation, the Company recorded a charge of
$3.0 million associated with employee severance and excess facilities costs. The
Company also expanded its manufacturing facilities in Thailand from 41,000
square feet to 93,000 square feet. In January 1997, the Company acquired the
assets of Pentagon Systems, a design and prototype production company, for $4.4
million cash, 450,000 shares of Class A Common Stock and assumed certain
liabilities. The Company recorded goodwill of 

<PAGE>   9

$3.4 million in connection with the acquisition, which is being amortized over
seven years on a straight line basis. In May 1997, the Company commenced
manufacturing operations in San Jose, California.

        The Company has chosen to locate its manufacturing facilities in certain
countries in Asia to improve operational efficiencies and to take advantage of
generally lower income tax rates and the availability of tax incentives extended
to encourage foreign investment. The Company has operating subsidiaries located
in foreign countries, some of which enjoy multiple year tax holidays. As a
result, the Company estimates its effective tax rate for fiscal 1998 to be
approximately 14.0%.

        The extent to which revenues are generated on a turnkey or consignment
basis has a significant effect on the level of the Company's total revenues and
gross margins. For revenues generated on a turnkey basis, the Company procures
all materials used to manufacture the customer's product, which results in
higher revenue per unit. For revenues generated on a consignment basis, the
customer procures the materials and provides them to the Company at no charge.
As a result, revenues from turnkey manufacturing tend to be higher and gross
margins tend to be lower than revenues and margins generated from consignment
manufacturing. The Company's total revenues and overall gross margin may
fluctuate significantly from period to period depending upon the mix of revenues
derived from turnkey and consignment manufacturing. Moreover, the Company's
agreement with Maxtor permits Maxtor to consign component parts to the Company
from time to time. The Company believes that Maxtor and other customers consider
various factors in choosing to allocate procurement responsibility to the
Company, including their relationships with key component suppliers and their
ability to obtain components at lower prices than obtainable by the Company.
Because none of the Company's customers, including Maxtor, is committed over the
long term to any particular manufacturing basis, the Company is unable to
predict the mix of revenues derived from turnkey and consignment manufacturing
for any future period.

        In October 1997, the Company completed its initial public offering and
issued 5,000,000 shares of its Class A Common Stock to the public at a price of
$11.50 per share and received cash of approximately $52.5 million, net of
underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated expenses.

Total Revenues

        Total revenues increased 100.6% from $37.6 million for the three months
ended October 31, 1996 to $75.4 million for the three months ended October 31,
1997. Total revenues increased 64.9% from $85.0 million for the six months
ended October 31, 1996 to $140.1 million for the six months ended October 31,
1997. The increase in total revenues for the three and six month periods was
primarily due to an increase in the volume of units shipped to Maxtor, Bay
Networks and to a lesser extent, new customers in the data communications and
telecommunications industries. Additionally, revenues were affected by a
favorable mix of revenues derived from sales made on a turnkey basis and the
addition of revenue derived from design services.

        The Company's largest customers during both the three and six month
periods ending October 31, 1997 were Maxtor and Bay Networks, Inc. Sales to
Maxtor for the three and six months ending October 31,1997 accounted for
approximately 43.0% and 44.0%, respectively of total revenues. Sales to Bay
Networks Inc. for the three months and six months ended October 31, 1997 were
43.0% and 42.0% of total revenues respectively.

Gross Profit

        Gross profit for the three months ended October 31, 1997 increased to
$7.4 million from $4.1 million for the three months ended October 31, 1996.
Gross margin (gross profit as a percentage of total revenues) decreased to 9.8%
from 11.0% for the same periods. The reduction in gross margin in the three
months ended October 31, 1997 was primarily attributed to an increase in turnkey
revenue, which typically generates lower margins, offset in part by a reduction
in certain labor and overhead expenses resulting from the devaluation of the
Thai baht. Gross profit for six months ended October 31, 1997 increased to $13.7
million from $5.2 million for the six months ended October 31, 1996. Gross
margin increased to 9.8% from 6.1% for the same periods. Gross profit and gross
margin for the six months ended October 31, 1996 were adversely affected by a
$2.0 million inventory charge associated with a financially troubled customer's
cancellation of orders. Increases in gross profit and gross margin for the six
months ended October 31, 1997 were attributable to direct labor savings of
approximately $3.6 million resulting from the relocation of the Company's Hong
Kong manufacturing facility to China, where direct labor hourly rates are
significantly lower than in Hong Kong and the higher utilization rate of the
Company's manufacturing facilities. 

<PAGE>   11

This effect, however, was partially offset by associated reductions in selling
prices, as the Company passed through certain cost savings to its customers.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

        Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 85.1% from $1.7
million for the three months ended October 31, 1996 to $3.2 million for the
three months ended October 31, 1997. As a percentage of total revenues, selling,
general and administrative expenses decreased to 4.2% for the three months ended
October 31, 1997from 4.6% for the three months ended October 31, 1996 . Selling,
general and administrative expenses increased 70.9% from $3.4 million for the
six months ended October 31, 1996to $5.9 million for the six months ended
October 31, 1997 and increased as a percentage of total revenues from 4.0% for
the six months ended October 31, 1996 to 4.2% for the six months ended October
31, 1997. The increase in absolute dollars for the three months ended October
31, 1997 and the six months ended October 31, 1997 was the result of increased
personnel costs and marketing expenses of approximately $300,000 and $724,000,
respectively, to support new customer development, the inclusion of
approximately $375,000and $695,000, respectively, of expenses attributable to
the acquisition of Pentagon Systems and, to a lesser extent, increased
administrative expenses associated with a new manufacturing facility in China
and expanded operations in Thailand.

Net Interest Expense

        Net interest expense increased from $1.1 million in the three months
ended October 31, 1996 to $1.2 million in the three months ended October 31,
1997 and increased from $1.7 million in the six months ended October 31, 1996 to
$2.5 million for the six months ended October 31, 1997. The increases in net
interest expense during the three and six months ended October 31, 1997 were
primarily due to an increased level of borrowings outstanding during the same
periods and, to a lesser extent, a slightly higher interest rate applicable to
these higher levels of borrowings.

Provision for Income Taxes

        The Company's income tax provision for the three months and six months
ended October 31, 1997 was computed using an effective tax rate of 14.0%. This
rate is based upon the Company's estimation of its geographic distribution of
income for fiscal 1998. This rate is lower than the United States Federal
statutory rate of 35.0% due primarily to the fact that income generated by
foreign operations is subject to lower or no foreign income taxes. No income tax
provision was made for the three and six months ended October 31, 1996 due to
the fact that the Company was in a loss position for these periods.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

        Prior to June 1996, the Company was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Maxtor
and funded its operations through cash provided by operations and intercompany
financing provided by Maxtor. Since the Recapitalization in June 1996 but prior
to its October 1997 initial public offering ("IPO"), the Company funded its
working capital needs and capital expenditures through borrowings under its
credit facility and cash provided by operations. At October 31, 1997, the
Company's principal sources of liquidity consisted of net proceeds from the IPO,
borrowings under its credit facility and cash provided by operations.

        During the six months ended October 31, 1997 $8.2 million of cash was
consumed by operating activities. During the six months ended October 31, 1996
$1.3 million of cash was generated by operations. The use of cash from
operations in the six months ended October 31, 1997 was primarily attributable
to growth in accounts receivable and inventory balances.

<PAGE>   12

        Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended October 31,
1997 and the six months ended October 31, 1996 was $6.5 million and $1.2 million
respectively. The investing activity in both periods was related primarily to
the purchase of capital equipment for expansion and upgrading of manufacturing
operations.

        During the six months ended October 31, 1997, the Company generated
$32.5 million from financing activities. This includes $52.5 million of net
proceeds from the issuance of Class A Common Stock in the IPO offset in part by
a repayment of $20 million of subordinated debt owed to Maxtor. During the six
months ended October 1996, the Company generated $0.7 million from financing
activities including $12.0 million in net proceeds from the sale of Common Stock
and Preferred Stock, $12.5 million from issuance of 12.0% junior subordinated
notes, and $2.0 million from borrowings under the line of credit.
Approximately $25.0 million of these amounts was used to redeem a portion of
Maxtor's share ownership in the Company.

         The Company has a committed line of credit with Chase Manhattan Bank,
that subject to certain limitations, provides up to $22.0 million of borrowing
capacity to fund working capital and capital expenditures. At October 31, 1997,
borrowings under the line of credit were $9.5 million compared to $9.0 million
at April 30, 1997. Additional borrowings of $12.5 million were available under
this line of credit at October 31, 1997. At October 31, 1997 the effective
interest rate under the line of credit was approximately 7.9%. The line of
credit requires that the Company maintain compliance with certain financial
minimums, including with respect to earnings before income interest expense,
income tax, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), and certain financial
ratios, including EBITDA to interest expense, EBITDA less capital expenditures
to interest expense, and total debt to EBITDA. The line of credit also imposes
certain restrictions, including limits on amounts attributable to capital
leases, performance bonds, permitted investments, dividends, employee loans,
amendments to certain existing agreements and instruments, prepayments of other
indebtedness, and capital expenditures. As of October 31, 1997, the Company was
in compliance with all such financial covenants and restrictions.

        The Company's future liquidity and cash requirements will depend upon
many factors, including the level of its operations, the degree and pace of
expansion or acquisition of facilities and adoption of new manufacturing
technology, and the mix of revenues derived from consignment and turnkey
operations. The Company anticipates that its planned purchases of capital
equipment for fiscal 1998 will aggregate expenditures of approximately $17.0
million, of which approximately $6.6 million have been made as of October 31,
1997. The Company believes that its existing cash balances, cash generated from
operations, and funds available under its line of credit or alternate
financings, if available to the Company, will be sufficient to fund its
currently anticipated working capital, capital expenditure and debt service
requirements for the next twelve months. Nonetheless, in the event that the
Company experiences significant continued growth, the Company may need to
finance such growth and any corresponding working capital needs, with additional
public and private offerings of debt or equity. There can be no assurance as to
the availability of such financing or, if available, the terms thereof.

<PAGE>   13

FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE OPERATING RESULTS

        In addition to the other information in this Form 10Q, the following are
important factors that should be carefully considered in evaluating the Company
and its business.

Short Period of Independent Operations; No Assurance of Future Profitability

        The Company's Hong Kong operations, which commenced business in 1983,
were acquired in 1990 by Maxtor, a manufacturer of hard disk drives, along with
other manufacturing operations and assets. International Manufacturing Services,
Inc. was formed in November 1994 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Maxtor. In June
1996, the Company was recapitalized as an independent company. Through December
1996, the Company was dependent upon Maxtor for certain financial and
administrative services. The Company has limited experience operating as an
independent entity, and there can be no assurance that it will be able to
operate effectively as an independent company. The Company only began
implementing independent financial and consolidated reporting systems and
procedures in June 1996. The Company believes that continued enhancements in
financial, management and operational information systems will be needed to
manage any expansion of the Company's operations. The failure to implement such
enhancements could have a material adverse effect upon the Company's business,
financial condition and operating results.

        The Company's limited history of operations as an independent entity
make reliable predictions of future operating results difficult. In particular,
the Company's performance to date should not be considered indicative of future
results. There can be no assurance that any of the Company's business strategies
will be successful or that the Company will be able to sustain growth or
profitability on an annual or quarterly basis.

Variability of Operating Results

        The primary factors affecting the Company's annual and quarterly
operating results are: timing of customer orders; price competition; volume of
orders received relative to the Company's capacity; announcements, introductions
and market acceptance of a customer's new products; evolution in the life cycles
of customer products; timing of expenditures in anticipation of future customer
orders; effectiveness in managing manufacturing processes; changes in cost and
availability of labor and components; fluctuations in material costs; the mix of
material costs relative to labor and manufacturing overhead costs; and the mix
of revenues derived from consignment and turnkey manufacturing (consignment
manufacturing, where the customer procures materials, tends to result in higher
gross margins but lower revenues, and turnkey manufacturing, where the Company
procures materials, tends to result in lower gross margins but higher revenues).
Other factors affecting operating results include the Company's level of
experience in manufacturing a particular product, the degree of automation used
in the assembly process, the efficiencies achieved by the Company in managing
inventories and fixed assets, and customer product delivery requirements. An
adverse change in any one of these factors or a combination thereof could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's future business, financial condition or
results of operations.

        The Company has no long-term volume purchase commitments from any
customer other than Maxtor. From time to time, the Company may procure materials
without a customer purchase commitment. The Company must continually make other
significant decisions based on estimates of future conditions, including the
level of business that it will accept, production schedules, personnel needs and
other resource requirements. A variety of conditions, however, both specific to
particular customers and generally affecting the market segments served by the
Company, may cause customers to cancel, reduce or delay orders. The level and
timing of a customer's orders may vary due to a number of factors including
product design changes, the customer's attempts to balance its inventory,
changes in the customer's manufacturing strategy, acquisitions of or
consolidations among customers, and variations in demand for the customer's
products. Most of the Company's customers typically do not commit to firm
delivery dates more than one quarter in advance. The Company's inability to
forecast the level of customer orders with certainty makes it difficult to
schedule production and maximize utilization of manufacturing capacity. In the
past, anticipated orders from several of the Company's customers have failed to
materialize or have been 

<PAGE>   14

deferred in certain cases. On other occasions, customers have required rapid
increases in production which have placed a significant burden on the Company's
resources. Such customer order fluctuations and deferrals have had a material
adverse effect on the Company's results of operations in the past, and there can
be no assurance that the Company will not experience such effects in the future.
In addition, the Company's customers have the ability to request that
manufacturing be performed on a consignment, turnkey or partial turnkey basis,
which can cause significant fluctuations in the Company's revenues and gross
margins.

        The Company's business has experienced and is expected to continue to
experience significant seasonality due, among other things, to the slowdown
during the summer months which historically has occurred in the electronics
industry. In addition, the market segments served by the Company are subject to
economic cycles and have in the past experienced, and are likely in the future
to experience, recessionary periods. A recessionary period affecting the
industry segments served by the Company could have a material adverse effect on
the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. The
Company occasionally experiences constraints in production capacity around
national holidays in Thailand and China. Results of operations in any period
should not be considered indicative of the results to be expected for any future
period, and fluctuations in operating results may also result in variations in
the price of the Class A Common Stock. In future periods, the Company's total
revenues or results of operations may be below the expectations of public market
analysts and investors; in such event, the price of the Class A Common Stock
would likely be materially adversely affected.

Customer Concentration; Dependence on Certain Industries

        For fiscal 1996 and fiscal 1997, and for the six months ended October
31, 1997, Maxtor accounted for approximately 83.1%, 48.6% and 44.0% of total
revenues, respectively, and Bay Networks, Inc. ("Bay Networks") accounted for
approximately 1.6%, 31.3% and 42.0% of the Company's total revenues,
respectively. For fiscal 1996, Diamond Multimedia Systems, Inc. ("Diamond
Multimedia") accounted for approximately 12.8% of total revenues. The Company
expects to continue to depend upon a relatively small number of customers for a
significant percentage of its total revenues. There can be no assurance that the
Company's principal customers will continue to purchase services from the
Company at current levels, or at all. In the past, certain of the Company's
customers have significantly reduced or delayed the volume of manufacturing
services ordered from the Company. There can be no assurance that present or
future customers will not terminate their manufacturing arrangements with the
Company or significantly change, reduce or delay the manufacturing services
ordered from the Company. Significant reductions in sales to any of the
Company's principal customers, or the loss of any one or more major customers,
would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial
condition and results of operations. The Company has no long-term volume
purchase commitments from any customers other than Maxtor. The timely
replacement of canceled, delayed or reduced contracts with new business cannot
be assured. These risks are accentuated because a majority of the Company's
sales are to customers in the electronics industry, which is subject to rapid
technological change and product obsolescence. Accordingly, the Company is
dependent upon the continued growth, viability and financial stability of its
customers, which are in turn substantially dependent on the growth of the
computer peripherals, data communications and telecommunication markets. The
disk drive industry is cyclical and has historically experienced periods of
oversupply and varying growth rates resulting in reduced demand and pricing
pressures on disk drives. Any factors adversely affecting the electronics
industry in general, or any of the Company's major customers in particular,
could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial
condition and results of operations.

Maxtor Corporation- Business Risks; Affiliation

        Maxtor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hyundai Electronics America and
historically has been the Company's largest customer. Maxtor develops,
manufactures and markets hard disk drive storage products for personal computer
systems. Maxtor's business depends in large part upon its ability to continue to
develop and market new hard disk drive products successfully. Any adverse
developments affecting Maxtor could adversely affect its demand for the
Company's services. Maxtor has experienced losses in each of the past five
fiscal years. During the first half of fiscal 1997, orders from Maxtor were
reduced significantly below what the Company 

<PAGE>   15

expected, and the Company's operating results were adversely affected. The loss
of Maxtor's sales volume or a significant portion thereof would have a material
adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of
operations.

        Maxtor is contractually entitled to one representative on the Company's
Board of Directors. Although Maxtor and the Company have separate managements
and boards of directors, Maxtor is a major customer of the Company, a major
shareholder, and an executive officer of Maxtor is a member of the Company's
board of directors. This creates the risk that the Company may give preference
to Maxtor over other customers in the allocation of components in short supply
or production capacity or in the pricing of manufacturing services. Concern over
such risks could affect the willingness of customers and potential customers of
the Company to conduct business with the Company. In an attempt to reduce
potential pricing and other conflicts, in June 1996, the Company and Maxtor
executed a three-year- manufacturing services agreement (the "Manufacturing
Agreement"), the terms of which the Company believes are no less favorable to
the Company and no more favorable to Maxtor than arrangements that either
company could negotiate with others in an arm's-length transaction. Pursuant to
the Manufacturing Agreement, the Company has agreed to provide certain products
and services to Maxtor at competitive prices per unit. In addition, Maxtor has
agreed to place purchase orders for the Company's manufacture of such products
in accordance with certain minimum quarterly volume purchase commitments, which
commitments decrease upon each twelve month anniversary of the effective date of
the Manufacturing Agreement. Maxtor's commitment to place purchase orders for
the Company's manufacture of products is conditioned upon the Company's
providing products competitive in both price and quality with alternative
suppliers of Maxtor. In the event that Maxtor determines that the products the
Company manufactures are not price or quality competitive, and the Company fails
within a specified time period to become competitive in price or quality, then
Maxtor's quarterly volume purchase commitments shall be reduced to the extent
that products are not price or quality competitive. In addition, Maxtor has a
second source supplier of services provided by the Company. Conflicts of
interest could arise, however, notwithstanding such agreement or upon its
termination or renegotiation.

Limited Availability of Materials

        A significant portion of the Company's total revenues is derived from
turnkey manufacturing, in which the Company performs both materials procurement
and assembly services and bears the risk of materials price increases. Almost
all products manufactured by the Company require one or more materials that are
ordered from single or sole sources. Some of these materials are allocated by
such single or sole sources in response to supply shortages. In some cases,
supply shortages may substantially curtail the Company's production of all
assemblies using that component. Further, at various times there have been
industry wide shortages of electronic components, particularly DRAMs, memory
modules, logic devices, microprocessors, specialized capacitors, crystals, ASICs
and other integrated circuits. From time to time, the Company has experienced
supply shortages with respect to various types of these components, although
such shortages have not had a material adverse effect on the Company's operating
results. Nonetheless, materials shortages in the future could result in
manufacturing and shipping delays or price increases, which could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition or
results of operations.

Competition

        The electronics assembly and manufacturing industry is intensely
competitive and includes numerous local, national and international companies, a
number of which have achieved substantial market share. The Company believes
that the primary competitive factors in its targeted markets are cost,
manufacturing technology, product quality, responsiveness and flexibility, the
range of services provided and the location of facilities. To be competitive,
the Company must provide technologically advanced manufacturing services, high
product quality levels, flexible production schedules and reliable delivery of
finished products on a timely and price competitive basis. Failure to satisfy
any of the foregoing requirements could materially and adversely affect the
Company's competitive position. The Company competes against numerous domestic
and foreign manufacturers, including Flextronics International Ltd., Jabil
Circuits, Inc., Sanmina Corporation, SCI Systems, Inc. ("SCI") and Solectron
Corporation, as well as certain large Asia entities. The Company also faces
indirect competition from the manufacturing operations of its current and
prospective customers, which continually evaluate the merits of 

<PAGE>   16

manufacturing products internally rather than using the services of EMS
providers. Many of the Company's competitors have more geographically
diversified international operations, as well as substantially greater
manufacturing, financial, volume procurement, research and development, and
marketing resources than the Company. In recent years, the EMS industry has
attracted new entrants, including large OEMs with excess manufacturing capacity,
and many existing participants have substantially expanded their manufacturing
capacity by expanding their facilities and adding new facilities through both
internal expansion and acquisitions. In the event of a decrease in overall
demand for EMS services, this increased capacity could result in substantial
pricing pressures, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business, financial condition or operating results.

Future Capital Needs

        The Company believes that, in order to achieve its long-term expansion
objectives and maintain and enhance its competitive position, it will need
significant financial resources over the next several years for capital
expenditures including investments in management information systems, working
capital and debt service. The Company has added significant manufacturing
capacity and increased capital expenditures over the past year. It has relocated
its Hong Kong manufacturing facilities to China, expanded its facilities in
Thailand, established a manufacturing facility in San Jose and, through the
acquisition of Pentagon Systems established a design and prototype production
operation in San Jose. The Company also continues to invest in manufacturing
equipment and management information systems. The Company anticipates that its
capital expenditures will continue to increase as the Company expands its
facilities in Asia, invests in necessary equipment to continue new product
production, and continues to invest in new technologies and equipment to
increase the performance and the cost efficiency of its manufacturing
operations. Upon completion of its initial public offering the Company has
limited cash resources and significant future obligations and expects that it
will require additional capital to support future growth, if any. The precise
amount and timing of the Company's future funding needs cannot be determined at
this time and will depend upon a number of factors, including the demand for the
Company's services and the Company's management of its working capital. The
Company may not be able to obtain additional financing on acceptable terms or at
all. If the Company is unable to obtain sufficient capital, it could be required
to curtail its capital expenditures and facilities expansion which could
materially adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition and
results of operations. Moreover, the Company's need to raise additional capital
through the issuance of equity securities may result in additional dilution to
earnings per share.

Risks Of International Operations

        Substantially all of the Company's manufacturing operations are located
in Thailand and China. The distance between Asia and the United States creates
logistical barriers, and the Company's success depends in part on its ability to
convince OEMs in the United States that the advantages of the Company's
Asia-based manufacturing facilities outweigh any perceived inconvenience or
uncertainty of overseas manufacturing.

        The Company may be affected by economic and political conditions in each
of the countries in which it operates and certain other risks of doing business
abroad, including import duties, changes to import and export regulations
(including quotas), possible restrictions on the transfer of funds, employee
turnover, labor or civil unrest, long payment cycles, greater difficulty in
collecting accounts receivable, the burdens and cost of compliance with a
variety of foreign laws, and, in certain parts of the world, political
instability. For example, the Company could be adversely affected if the current
policies encouraging foreign investments or foreign trade by Thailand and China
were to be abandoned. In addition, the attractiveness of the Company's services
to its United States customers is affected by United States trade policies, such
as "most favored nation" status and trade preferences, which are reviewed
periodically by the United States government. In the past, United States
government officials have discussed the possible refusal of the United States to
extend China's "most favored nation" status. Changes in policies by the United
States or foreign governments could result in, for example, increased duties,
higher taxation, currency conversion limitations, hostility toward United
States-owned operations, limitations on imports or exports, or the expropriation
of private enterprises, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business, financial condition or results of operations.

<PAGE>   17

        The Company's operations and assets are subject to significant
political, economic, legal and other uncertainties in China and Thailand. Under
its current leadership, the Chinese government has been pursuing economic reform
policies, including the encouragement of foreign trade and investment and
greater economic decentralization. No assurance can be given, however, that the
Chinese government will continue to pursue such policies, that such policies
will be successful if pursued, or that such policies will not be significantly
altered from time to time. Moreover, despite progress in developing its legal
system, China does not have a comprehensive and highly developed system of laws,
particularly with respect to foreign investment activities and foreign trade.
Enforcement of existing and future laws and contracts is uncertain, and
implementation and interpretation thereof may be inconsistent. As the Chinese
legal system develops, the promulgation of new laws, changes to existing laws
and the preemption of local regulations by national laws may adversely affect
foreign operations in China. While Thailand has a longer history of promoting
foreign investments than China, Thailand has recently experienced economic
turmoil and a significant devaluation of the Thai currency. There can be no
assurance that this period of economic turmoil will not result in the reversal
of current policies encouraging foreign investment and trade, restrictions on
the transfer of funds overseas, employee turnover, labor unrest or other
domestic Thai economic problems that could adversely affect the Company. To
date, economic problems in Thailand have not had an adverse impact on the
Company's business, financial condition or results of operations, but there can
be no assurance that there will not be such an impact in the future.

Risk of Increased Taxes

        The Company has structured its global operations to take advantage of
the generally lower statutory income tax rates in Asian countries and certain
tax holidays in China and Thailand that have been extended to encourage foreign
investment. As part of this structure, the Company renders certain technical and
administrative services on behalf of its Asia subsidiaries in the United States.
If tax rates were to rise, if the Company's tax holidays were not renewed or if
tax authorities were to challenge successfully the adequacy of the amounts paid
to the Company for these services or generally the manner in which profits are
recognized and allocated among the Company and its subsidiaries, the Company's
taxes would increase and its business, financial condition, results of
operations or cash flow could be materially adversely affected. The Company
believes that profits from its operations in Asia are not sufficiently connected
to the United States to give rise to United States taxation, but there can be no
assurance that United States tax authorities will not challenge the Company's
position or, if such challenge is made, that the Company would prevail in any
such dispute. In certain circumstances, United States tax law requires a United
States parent corporation to recognize as current income profits earned by its
foreign subsidiaries. The Company believes that, except for certain passive
income which is not expected to be material in amount, these laws should not be
applicable to the subsidiaries activities and income, but there can be no
assurance that United States tax authorities will not challenge the Company's
position or, if such challenge is made, that the Company would prevail in any
such dispute. If the Company's profits from its Asia operations become subject
to United States income taxes, the Company's taxes could increase, and its
results of operations and cash flow could be materially adversely affected. The
expansion by the Company of its operations in the United States may also
increase its effective tax rate. The current maximum United States federal
income tax rate is 35.0%; the Company currently expects its effective income tax
rate for fiscal 1998 to be approximately 14%.

Currency Fluctuations

           While the Company transacts business predominately in United States
dollars, and substantially all of its revenues are collected in United States
dollars, a portion of the Company's costs are denominated in other currencies,
such as the Thai baht, the Hong Kong dollar and the Chinese renminbi. As a
result, changes in the relation of these and other currencies to the United
States dollar will affect the Company's costs of goods sold and operating
expenses and could result in exchange losses. To date, the recent economic
problems in Thailand, including the devaluation of the Thai baht, have not had
an adverse impact on the Company's business, financial condition or results of
operations, but there can be no assurance that there will not be such an impact
in the future. The impact of future exchange rate fluctuations on the Company's
results of operations cannot be accurately predicted. From time to time the
Company has engaged in, and may continue to engage in, exchange rate hedging
activities, although to date such hedging activities have not been material.
There can be no assurance that any hedging techniques implemented by the Company
will be successful.

<PAGE>   18

Management of Growth and Expanded Operations

        During fiscal 1997 and through the six months ended October 31, 1997,
the Company experienced a period of rapid expansion through both internal growth
and acquisition. Expansion has caused, and is expected to continue to cause,
strain on the Company's infrastructure, including its managerial, technical,
financial and other resources. To manage further growth, the Company must
continue to enhance financial and operational controls, develop additional
executive officers and hire qualified personnel. Continued growth will also
require increased investments to add manufacturing capacity and to enhance
management information systems. The Company may experience certain
inefficiencies as it integrates new operations and manages geographically
dispersed operations. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
manage its expansion effectively, and a failure to do so could have a material
adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition or results of
operations.

        New operations, whether foreign or domestic, can require significant
start-up costs and capital expenditures. In the event that the Company continues
to expand its domestic or international operations, there can be no assurance
the Company will be successful in generating revenue to recover start-up and
operating costs.

Dependence on Key Personnel

        The Company's continued success depends to a large extent upon the
efforts and abilities of key managerial and technical employees. The Company's
business will also depend upon its ability to continue to attract and retain
qualified employees. Although the Company has been successful in retaining key
managerial and technical employees to date, the loss of services of certain key
employees, in particular any of its three executive officers, could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition or
results of operations. None of the Company's key employees is party to an
agreement that provides the Company with assurance as to his or her continued
employment. Moreover, the Company does not maintain key-man life insurance on
any of its personnel.

Risks Associated with Acquisitions

        The Company's business strategy includes the expansion of its business
and manufacturing capabilities, including through acquisitions. Although the
Company is not currently contemplating any material acquisition or reviewing any
particular opportunity, the Company occasionally reviews various acquisition
prospects, including companies or manufacturing process technologies
complementary to the Company's business.

        Acquisitions involve numerous risks, including: difficulties in the
assimilation of the operations, products, personnel and cultures of the acquired
companies; the ability to manage geographically remote units effectively; the
diversion of management attention from other day-to-day business concerns;
difficulties entering markets in which the Company has limited or no direct
experience; and the potential loss of key employees of the acquired companies.
In addition, acquisitions may result in dilutive issuances of equity securities;
incurrence of additional debt; reduction of existing cash balances; amortization
expenses related to goodwill and other intangible assets; and other charges to
operations that may have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
financial condition or results of operations. Moreover, there can be no
assurance that any equity or debt financings proposed in connection with any
acquisition would be available to the Company on acceptable terms, or at all, if
suitable strategic acquisition opportunities were to arise. Although the Company
expects to analyze any opportunity before committing its resources, there can be
no assurance that any acquisition that is completed will result in long-term
benefits to the Company or that it will be able to manage the resulting business
effectively.

Technological Change and Process Development

        The markets in which the Company's customers compete are characterized
by rapid technological change, evolving industry standards and frequent product
introductions and enhancements. The Company is continually evaluating the
advantages and feasibility of new manufacturing processes. The Company believes
that its future success will depend upon its ability to deliver manufacturing
services which meet changing customer needs and to

successfully anticipate or respond to technological changes in manufacturing
processes on a cost-effective and timely basis. There can be no assurance that
the Company will be successful in these efforts.

Concentration of Stock Ownership

        Upon completion of the IPO, the current directors and executive officers
of the Company and their respective affiliates beneficially owned in the
aggregate approximately 72.3% of the Company's outstanding shares of Common
Stock (including shares issuable pursuant to stock options which may be
exercised within 60 days of July 31, 1997). As a result, such persons, acting
together, would have the ability to approve or disapprove significant corporate
transactions. In addition, upon the closing of the IPO, the Board of Directors
had the authority to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred
stock, to determine the powers, preferences and rights and the qualifications,
limitations or restrictions granted to or imposed upon any unissued series of
undesignated preferred stock, and to fix the number of shares constituting any
series and the designation of such series, without any further vote or action by
the Company's stockholders. The preferred stock could be issued with voting,
liquidation, dividend and other rights superior to the rights of the Common
Stock. The concentration of ownership and the issuance of preferred stock under
certain circumstances could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change
in control of the Company.
