NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2000
(1) Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Business
--------
IEC Electronics Corp. (IEC) is an independent contract manufacturer of complex
printed circuit board assemblies and electronic products and systems. IEC offers
its customers a wide range of manufacturing services, on either a turnkey or
consignment basis, including material procurement and control, manufacturing and
test engineering support, statistical quality assurance and complete resource
management.
Consolidation
-------------
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of IEC Electronics
Corp.,and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, IEC Electronics-Edinburg, Texas Inc.
(Edinburg), IEC Arab, Alabama Inc.(Arab) until January 26, 2000 when each of
Edinburg and Arab merged into IEC and also includes from August 31, 1998, IEC
Electronics-Ireland Ltd(Longford), (collectively, the Company). In December
1999, the Company closed its underutilized Longford operations and transferred
some of the customers served there to its other operations in New York and
Texas. In August 1998, the Company announced plans to close its Arab operations
and to transfer many of the customers served in that facility to the Company's
other operations in New York and Texas. All significant intercompany
transactions and accounts have been eliminated.
Revenue Recognition
-------------------
The Company recognizes revenues upon shipment of product for both turnkey and
consignment contracts.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
-------------------------
Cash and cash equivalents include money market and bank account balances. The
Company's cash and cash equivalents are held and managed by institutions which
follow the Company's investment policy. The fair value of the Company's
finanical instruments approximates carrying amounts due to the relatively short
maturities and variable interest rates of the instruments, which approximate
current market interest rates.
Inventories
-----------
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. The
major classifications of inventories are as follows at period end (in
thousands):

================ ================
Foreign Currency Translation
----------------------------
The assets and liabilities of the Company's foreign subsidiary are translated
based on the current exchange rate at the end of the period for the balance
sheet and a weighted-average rate for the period of the consolidated statement
of operations. Translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of
equity. Transaction gains or losses are included in operations.

(2) Comprehensive Income
--------------------
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130,
"Reporting Comprehensive Income"(SFAS No. 130)on October 1, 1998. SFAS No. 130
requires comprehensive income and its components to be presented in the
financial statements. Comprehensive income, which includes net (loss)
income and foreign currency translation adjustments, was as follows for the

(3) Financing Arrangements
----------------------
On December 28, 1999, the Company refinanced its existing credit facility with a
new bank group. As amended on March 30, 2000, the new agreement is a three year
secured asset based facility for $35.0 million. The credit facility consists of
two components, the first a $25.0 million revolving credit facility based on
eligibility criteria for receivables and inventory. Amounts borrowed are limited
to 85 percent of qualified accounts receivable, 20 percent of raw materials,
and 30 percent of finished goods inventory, respectively. The second component
consists of a $10 million three-year term loan with monthly principal
installments based on a five year amortization beginning in April 2000. At
June 30, 2000, $20.2 million was outstanding with $14.3 million available
under the new three year secured asset based facility.
The Company is required to meet certain financial covenants in relation to its
aforementioned credit facilities. At June 30, 2000, and through the date of
this filing, the Company was in compliance with these debt covenants. During
the fourth quarter, Management has begun working with its lenders to obtain
amendments to its debt agreement and/or waivers to certain of its financial
ratio covenants. If the Company is not able to obtain the necessary amend-
ments and/or waivers, management believes that the Company may default on cer-
tain of these covenants during the fourth quarter of this fiscal year.
However, management believes that such amendments and/or waivers will be
successfully obtained.
(4) Life Insurance Proceeds
-----------------------
The Company's President and Chief Executive Officer died suddenly on December
11, 1999. In the second quarter of fiscal 2000, the Company received non-taxable
income from insurance proceeds of approximately $2.0 million
(5) Litigation
-------------
The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims which arise in the
ordinary course of its business. Although occasional adverse decisions (or
settlements) may occur, the Company believes that the final disposition of such
matters will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position or
results of operations of the Company.

(6) Accounting Pronouncements
------------------------------------
In June 1999, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 137,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of
Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133 for one year". With issuance of SFAS
No. 137, the Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 133 on a prospective basis
for interim periods and fiscal years beginning March 1, 2001. The Company
believes that the effect of adoption of SFAS No. 133 will not be material based
on the Company's current risk management strategies.
(7) Longford Operations
-------------------
In February 2000, a third party purchased from the Company certain assets of
Longford and assumed the lease of the Longford facility. This resulted in a
benefit of $949 thousand from the reversal of a previously established
restructuring reserve.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
------------------------------------
Results of Operations - Three Months Ended June 30, 2000, Compared to the
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Three Months Ended June 25, 1999.
----------------------------------
Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2000, were $54.7 million,
compared to $37.5 million for the comparable period of the prior fiscal year, an
increase of 45.9%. The increase in sales is primarily due to an increase in
demand from the Company's two largest customers. Turnkey sales for the quarter
represented 97% and 97% of net sales for the comparable period of the
prior fiscal year.
Gross profit was $0.7 million or 1.3% of net sales for the three month period
ended June 30, 2000 versus $0.6 million or 1.5% of sales in the comparable
period of the prior fiscal year. The minimal increase in gross profit is due to
improved fixed manufacturing overhead absorption being mitigated by increased
material and direct labor costs.
Selling and administrative expenses increased to $3.1 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2000, from $2.6 million in the comparable quarter of the
prior fiscal year. This increase is primarily due to increases in sales
commissions, salary and other expenses. As a percentage of net sales, selling
and administrative expenses decreased to 5.6% from 7.0% in the comparable period
of the prior fiscal year.
Net loss for the quarter was ($2.8)million versus ($1.7)million in the
comparable period of the prior fiscal year. Loss per share was ($0.37)
as compared to loss per share of ($0.23) in the comparable period of
prior fiscal year. Excluding the reversal of the previously established re-
structuring charge for the closure of the Longford facility of $92 thousand,
the net loss would have been ($2.9) million or ($0.38) per share in the current
quarter.
Higher accounts receivable levels are reflective of the increased volume of
sales.
At quarter-end the inventory level was $36.3 million, up from $30.7 million
since the beginning of the fiscal year. This represents annualized turnover of
5.4. Inventory growth to support increasing production levels is currently
a major focus item at IEC.
Results of Operations - Nine months Ended June 30, 2000, compared to nine
------------------------------------------------------------------------
months ended June 25, 1999.
----------------------------
Net sales for the nine months ended June 30, 2000, were $162.8 million, as
compared to $108.7 million for the comparable period of the prior fiscal year,
an increase of 49.8%. Turnkey sales represented 97% and 96% of net
sales for the comparable period of the prior fiscal year.
Gross profit was $3.1 million or 1.9% of sales in fiscal 2000 versus $0.4
million or 0.4% of sales in the comparable period of the prior fiscal year.
The increase was due to higher sales volume and improved fixed manufacturing
overhead absorption.
Selling and administrative expenses increased to $9.2 million for the nine
months ended June 30, 2000, from $8.0 million in the comparable period of the
prior fiscal year. This increase is primarily due to increases in sales
commissions, salary and other expenses. As a percentage of net sales, selling
and administrative expenses decreased to 5.7% from 7.4% in the comparable period
of the prior fiscal year.
Net loss for the nine months was($4.6) million versus ($5.8) million
in the comparable period of the prior fiscal year. Loss per share was ($0.61)
as compared to loss per share of ($0.76) per share in the comparable period of
the prior fiscal year. Excluding the reversal of the previously established
restructuring charge for the closure of the Longford facility of $949 thousand,
and the life insurance proceeds of $2.0 million, the net loss would have been
($7.6) million or ($1.00) per share in the current period.
Higher accounts receivable levels are reflective of the increased volume of
sales.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------
Net sales for the month of June 2000 were $24.9 million, representing 45.5% of
the total net sales for the three month period ending June 30, 2000. The
Company operates on a fiscal quarter consisting of four weeks in the first and
second months and five weeks in the third month.
On December 28, 1999, the Company refinanced its existing credit facility with a
new bank group. As amended on March 30, 2000, the new agreement is a three year
secured asset based facility for $35.0 million. The credit facility consists of
two components, the first a $25.0 million revolving credit facility based on
eligibility criteria for receivables and inventory. Amounts borrowed are limited
to 85 percent of qualified accounts receivable, 20 percent of raw materials,
and 30 percent of finished goods inventory, respectively. The second component
consists of a $10 million three-year term loan with monthly principal
installments based on a five year amortization beginning in April 2000. At
June 30, 2000, $20.2 million was outstanding with $14.3 million available
under the new three year secured asset based facility.
The Company is required to meet certain financial covenants in relation to its
aforementioned credit facilities. At June 30, 2000, and through the date of
this filing, the Company was in compliance with these debt covenants. During
the fourth quarter, Management has begun working with its lenders to obtain
amendments to its debt agreement and/or waivers to certain of its financial
ratio covenants. If the Company is not able to obtain the necessary amend-
ments and/or waivers, management believes that the Company may default on cer-
tain of these covenants during the fourth quarter of this fiscal year.
However, management believes that such amendments and/or waivers will be
successfully obtained.
Subject to the foregoing, the Company believes that its funds generated from
operations and its existing credit facilities will be sufficient for the
Company to meet its capital expenditures and working capital needs for its
operations as presently conducted.
The impact of inflation on the Company's operations has been minimal due to the
fact that it is able to adjust its bids to reflect any inflationary increases in
cost.
Year 2000 Conversion
--------------------
The Company completed its Year 2000 Project ("Y2K") as scheduled, including
addressing leap year calendar date calculation concerns. The possibility of
significant interruptions of normal operations has been reduced. As of June 30,
2000, the Company's products, computing, and communications infrastructure
systems have operated without Y2K related problems and appear to be Y2K ready.
The Company is not aware that any of its major customers or third-party
suppliers have experienced significant Y2K related problems.
The Company believes that all of its critical systems are Y2K ready. However,
this is not a guarantee that the Company has discovered all possible failure
points. Specific factors contributing to this uncertainty include failure to
identify all systems, non-ready third parties whose systems and operations
impact the Company, and other similar uncertainties.
Contingency plans are complete and will be implemented if required. Should a
significant problem occur, the Company would revert to standard manual
contingency procedures to continue operation until the problem is corrected.
To date, the Company has spent an estimated $500,000 on this project. The
funding for this project comes from operations and working capital. None of the
Company's other mission critical information projects have been delayed due to
the implementation of the Y2K project.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
------------------------------------
In June 1998, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.137, "Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of Effective Date
of FASB Statement No. 133",was issued. With issuance of SFAS No.137, the Company
is required to adopt SFAS No. 133 on a prospective basis for interim periods and
fiscal years beginning March 1, 2001. The Company believes that the effect of
adoption of SFAS No.133 will not be material based on the Company's current risk
management strategies.
Forward-looking Statements
--------------------------
Except for historical information, statements in this quarterly report are
forward-looking made pursuant to the safe harbor created by the Private
