Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
December 28, 1997
(Unaudited)

Note A - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying  unaudited condensed  consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned  subsidiaries after elimination
of significant intercompany accounts and transactions.  The financial statements
have been  prepared  in  accordance  with  instructions  to Form 10-Q and do not
include  all the  information  and  footnotes  required  by  generally  accepted
accounting  principles for complete financial  statements.  Independent auditors
have not examined the statements (and all other information in this report), but
in the opinion of the Company all adjustments, which consist of normal recurring
accruals  necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the period,  have
been made.  The results of operations for the period ended December 28, 1997 are
not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the year ending June
30,  1998.  For  further  information,   refer  to  the  consolidated  financial
statements  and footnotes  included in the Company's  annual report on Form 10-K
for the year ended June 30, 1997.

Note B - Income Taxes

U.S. income taxes are not provided on certain undistributed  earnings of foreign
subsidiaries  aggregating  approximately $42 million at December 28, 1997, which
are considered  permanently  invested.  Otherwise,  approximately $11 million of
cumulative deferred income taxes would have been provided.  Income tax provision
for fiscal year 1998 differs from the U.S.  statutory  income tax rate primarily
due to state income taxes.

Note C - Earnings per Share

In the second quarter of fiscal 1998,  the Company  adopted the new earnings per
share computations  required by FASB Statement No. 128. Basic earnings per share
is  computed  by  dividing  reported  net income for the period by the  weighted
average number of common stock  outstanding  during the period. A reconciliation
of the net income and  weighted  average  number of shares  used for the diluted
earnings per share computations follows:

Note D - Changes in Amount  Outstanding  of Securities or  Indebtedness

At  December  28,  1997 the  Company  had  approximately  $15 million of certain
accounts receivable sold under its asset securitization agreement, compared with
approximately  $36  million at June 30,  1997.  The  Company can sell up to $200
million of certain  accounts  receivable  with limited  recourse under its asset
securitization agreement.

Total unused  credit  facilities  available to the Company at December 28, 1997,
including that available under the asset securitization agreement,  approximated
$658 million.  The initial  renewal date for the Company's  credit  facility has
been extended to December 8, 2002. 


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

From time to time, the Company may publish  forward-looking  statements relating
to such matters as anticipated financial performance,  business prospects, plant
expansions,  technological developments,  new products, and similar matters. The
Private  Securities  Litigation  Reform Act of 1995  provides a safe  harbor for
forward-looking  statements.  In  compliance  with such safe harbor  terms,  the
Company notes that a variety of factors could cause the Company's actual results
and  experience  to  differ   materially  from  anticipated   results  or  other
expectations expressed in the Company's forward-looking  statements or from past
performances.   The  risks  and  uncertainties   that  may  affect   operations,
performance,  development and results of the Company's  business  include future
cash use and other factors noted in Item 1. of SCI Systems, Inc.'s Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997.

Results of Operations

Sales for the second quarter were $1.79 billion compared to $1.48 billion in the
same period a year earlier,  a 20.6%  increase.  Net income  increased  26.8% to
$37.6 million from $29.6  million in the same quarter of fiscal 1997.  Basic and
diluted earnings per share  for the  quarter  were $.63 and $.55,  respectively,
compared  with  $.50  and $.44  per  share a year  earlier.  Return  on  average
shareholders' equity for the second quarter remained at 23.0%, the same level as
that experienced in fiscal 1997's second quarter.

Sales for the first six months of fiscal 1998  increased  21.6% to $3.53 billion
from $2.90 billion for the first six months of the prior fiscal year. Net income
increased  35.3% to $73.9  million  compared  with $54.7 million a year earlier.
Basic and  diluted  earnings  per share for the first six months  were $1.24 and
$1.08, respectively,  compared with $.92 and $.82 per share for the prior fiscal
year's  first six months.  Return on average  shareholders'  equity  improved to
23.3% for the first six  months  of fiscal  1998 from  21.8% for the  comparable
period in fiscal 1997.

Increased  volume led to higher sales in fiscal 1998's second  quarter and first
six months  compared  with the same  periods in fiscal  1997.  Finished  product
assembly  accounted for  approximately  one half of the  Company's  sales in the
first six months of fiscal 1998.  Foreign sales increased to 31% of consolidated
sales in fiscal 1998's first six months in comparison to 25% in total for fiscal
1997. The current Asian Regional  economic  conditions have thus far had a small
effect on the Company.  However, Asian price competition may become more severe.
This Region's sales are transacted  primarily in U.S. dollars, and most products
manufactured in the Region are exported.

Operating  margin for the second  quarter of fiscal 1998  improved to 3.81% from
3.60% for the prior fiscal year's second quarter. Operating margin for the first
six months of fiscal  1998  improved  to 3.78% from 3.48% for the same period in
last fiscal  year.  Improved  cost  efficiencies,  especially  in the  Company's
foreign operations, generated this improvement.  Immediate term operating margin
growth may be affected by sizeable current expansion programs.

Net  interest  expense  decreased  slightly  to .29% of sales for fiscal  1998's
second quarter compared with .31% in fiscal 1997's second quarter. For the first
six months of fiscal 1998, net interest  expense  declined to .27% of sales from
the .36%  experienced  in fiscal  1997's  first six months.  Increased  interest
income earned on temporary  investment  of cash not  currently  required to fund
existing  operations  generated the lower net interest expense for the first six
months. The Company  anticipates that quarterly interest income will continue to
decline as the year progresses due to reduced investment of excess cash as it is
used to fund planned expansion.

Estimated  effective  income  tax rate  differs  from the  U.S.  statutory  rate
primarily due to the effects of state income taxes.

Net income as a percent of sales  improved  marginally  to 2.1% in fiscal 1998's
second  quarter  from 2.0% for fiscal  1997's  second  quarter.  Net income as a
percent of sales  improved to 2.1% in fiscal  1998's  first six months from 1.9%
for the same period last fiscal year. These improvements  resulted from improved
operating margin and lower net interest expense sales percentage.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

December 28, 1997's working capital of $748 million approximated June 30, 1997's
$754 million.  The current  ratio (1.8) at December 28, 1997  declined  slightly
from June 30, 1997's ratio (2.0).

Available  liquidity  at December 28, 1997 was $864  million,  comprised of $658
million  in  unused  credit  facilities  and  $206  million  in  cash  and  cash
equivalents.  Lower available  liquidity is anticipated  during the remainder of
fiscal 1998 as cash is used to fund working capital and capital  expenditures in
support of planned capacity  expansion and revenue growth.  The Company believes
that existing liquidity is sufficient to support near term growth. Fiscal 1998's
capital  expenditures  may be as high as $200  million,  $100  million more than
estimated depreciation and amortization.

Order backlog  believed by the Company to be firm at December 28, 1997 was $3.09
billion,  compared with $2.76 billion a year earlier.  The Company's  backlog is
being  affected  by  normal  seasonality,   shorten  component  lead  times  and
continuing average selling price declines.

                          (FORMERLY SPACE CRAFT, INC.)


         SCI SYSTEMS,  INC., a corporation  organized and existing  under and by
virtue of the  General  Corporation  Law of the State of  Delaware,  does hereby

(formerly  Space Craft,  Inc.),  declaring said  amendment to be advisable,  and
declaring  that  approval of said  amendment  be  considered  at the next Annual

                  SECOND: The Board of Directors at said meeting of the Board of
Directors  resolved that Article  Fourth of the Second  Restated  Certificate of
Incorporation of SCI Systems,  Inc. should be amended by deleting Section (a) of
Article  Fourth  in its  entirety  and  by  substituting  in  lieu  thereof  the
following:

                  "FOURTH.    (a)  The  aggregate  number  of shares  which  the
                  corporation  shall have the  authority to issue is Two Hundred
                  Million  (200,000,000)  shares of common  stock with par value

                  every  holder  of  stock  of  the  corporation,  be it  Common
                  Stock or Preferred  Stock,  shall be entitled to one  vote, in
                  person  or  by  proxy,  for  each  share  of  Common  Stock or
                  Preferred  Stock  standing  in  his  name  on the books of the
                  corporation.  The Common  Stock and the Preferred  Stock shall
                  vote together as one class unless otherwise expressly required
                  by law."

                  THIRD: That thereafter, pursuant to resolution of its Board of
Directors,  and upon  notice  in  accordance  with  Section  222 of the  General

of Delaware.


         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, SCI Systems, Inc. has caused this Certificate to be

fiscal  quarter are required to be delivered to the Agent,  the Co-Agent and the
Banks, pursuant to Section 9.12(a)(i) or 9.12(a)(ii), as appropriate,  and shall

Borrower, the Agent, the Co-Agent and the Banks signatory thereto until the next
quarterly  determination,  the  applicable  Commitment Fee Percentage is 0.125%.
Notwithstanding the foregoing,  if the Debt Rating assigned by Standard & Poor's

differential of the Debt Ratings is greater than one level (including  numerical
modifiers  and (+) and (-) as  levels),  the Debt Rating  immediately  below the
highest Debt Rating shall apply) and if only one of Standard & Poor's or Moody's
rates the Borrower's  long-term  senior  unsecured debt, the Debt Rating of such
rating Person shall apply.
 
Permitted  Transaction:  Any action by the  Borrower or any of its  Subsidiaries
which (i) would be prohibited by Section 10.01, Section 10.02, Section 10.03 but
for Section 10.01(viii) (in the case of Section 10.01), Section 10.02(x) (in the
case of Section 10.02) or Section 10.03(viii) (in the case of Section 10.03) and
(ii) involves, directly or indirectly, any Amount not in excess of $25,000,000.


                                                      


(b) The Credit  Agreement is hereby  further  modified by adding to Section 1.01
the following new definitions:

Debt Rating means,  at any date of  determination,  the rating of the Borrower's
long-term senior unsecured debt by Moody's or Standard & Poor's, as the case may
be.
Moody's means Moody's Investor Services, Inc.
Standard & Poor's means Standard & Poor's Ratings Service.

(c) The Credit  Agreement is further  modified by deleting the date "December 8,
2000" appearing in the first line of the definition of "Credit  Expiration Date"
in Section 1.01 and replacing it with the date "December 8, 2002".

(d) The  Credit  Agreement  is  further  modified  by  deleting  the first  five
sentences of Section  3.01(e)  thereof in their entirety and by  substituting in

may,  however,  request an extension of the initial  Credit  Expiration  Date by
submitting a written  request to the Agent no earlier than  September  30, 2001,
and no later than  October 31,  2001.  Upon such  request,  the  initial  Credit
Expiration  Date may be extended by one additional  year upon written consent of
the Required Banks. The Agent will give written notice to the Borrower, not more
than sixty (60) days after receipt of request for  extension  from the Borrower,
stating either that (i) the Required Banks have given their written consent to a
new Credit Expiration Date, which shall be specified in such notice, or (ii) the
Required  Banks have not given their  consent to the  requested  extension.  Any
Credit  Expiration Date subsequent to the initial Credit  Expiration Date may be
extended by one additional year by following the same procedure as for extension
of the Credit  Expiration  Date, with the Borrower  requesting such extension no
earlier than  September 30 and no later than October 31 of each year  subsequent
to 2001.
 
 
(e) The  Credit  Agreement  is hereby  further  modified  by adding to Section 4
thereof the following new Section 4.12:
 
4.12  Voluntary  Reduction in Stated  Amount to Zero. In the event that Borrower
delivers to the Co-Agent,  the  Depositary  and the Dealer a Notice of Requested
Change in Stated Amount requesting a reduction in the Stated Amount to zero, the
Commercial  Paper Banks  hereby  authorize  the  Co-Agent to amend the Letter of
Credit to reflect a Stated  Amount of zero or,  alternatively,  to  request  the
Depositary to return the Letter of Credit to the Co-Agent for cancellation. Upon
receipt of the Letter of Credit from the Depositary,  the Co-Agent is authorized
to cancel the Letter of Credit. If a Letter of Credit has been canceled pursuant
to this  Section  4.12,  Borrower  may send  written  notice to the  Co-Agent no
earlier  than 30 days prior to the end of a calendar  quarter of Borrower and no
later than 10 days prior to the end of such quarter,  directing the Co- Agent to
issue a  replacement  Letter  of Credit  in an  amount  not to exceed  the Total
Commercial  Paper  Commitment.  Subject  to the  terms  and  conditions  of this
Agreement,  the  Co-Agent  shall issue a  replacement  Letter of Credit upon the
satisfaction of the following conditions:
(i) All  applicable  conditions  precedent set forth in Section 7.02 and Section
7.03 hereof have been satisfied;
(ii) The Co-Agent,  the  Depositary  and the Dealer shall have received  written
confirmation from each of Moody's and Standard & Poor's that the rating assigned
to  the  Commercial  Paper  Notes  by  such  Person  following  delivery  of the
replacement Letter of Credit satisfy the requirements of Section 7.03(e) hereof;
 
(iii) The Borrower  shall have  delivered  such other  documents,  agreements or
opinions as may be required by Moody's and  Standard & Poor's as a condition  to
such  Person's  execution and delivery of the  confirmation  described in clause
(ii) above;
 
(iv) The Co-Agent,  the Depositary and the Dealer shall have received an opinion
of counsel for the Borrower that the Drawings  under the  replacement  Letter of
Credit will not constitute voidable preferences under the Bankruptcy Code in the
event of the bankruptcy of the Borrower;
 
(v) The Co-Agent,  the  Depositary and the Dealer shall have received an opinion
of counsel for the Co-Agent  (rendered at the cost and expense of the  Borrower,
which cost and  expense  shall be  reasonable)  that the  replacement  Letter of
Credit is a legally valid,  binding and  enforceable  obligation of the Co-Agent
and that the  issuance  thereof is exempt  from  registration  under the Federal
Securities Laws; and
 
(vi) The  Co-Agent  shall  have  received  such other  documents,  certificates,
opinions (including  reliance letters),  approvals and filings as the Agent, the
Co-Agent or any of their counsel may reasonably  request and which are customary
for transactions of this type,  including  without  limitation,  such agreements
from the  Depositary  as the Agent,  the  Co-Agent  or any of their  counsel may
reasonably request.
 
The Borrower agrees not to request,  or permit,  the authentication and delivery
of,  any  Commercial  Paper  Notes  unless and until a Letter of Credit has been
issued and is outstanding and, in connection therewith, the foregoing conditions
precedent have been satisfied.
 
(f) The Credit  Agreement  is further  modified  by adding to the end of Section
9.12(a), the following new sentence:
 
Simultaneously with the delivery of each set of financial statements referred to
in clause (i) or (ii) above,  the Borrower shall also deliver to the Agent,  the
Co-  Agent  and the  Banks  (x) a  certificate  from  the  Chairman,  President,
Treasurer  or  Chief  Financial  Officer  of  the  Borrower  certifying  to  the
Borrower's Debt Ratings as of the date of such financial  statements,  and (y) a
copy of rating  letters,  if any, from Standard & Poor's and Moody's  confirming
such Debt Ratings.

(g) The Credit  Agreement  is further  modified by  deleting  the  reference  to
"10.03A(i)" from Section 10.02(x) and 10.03(viii), respectively.

(h) The Credit  Agreement is further  modified by deleting clause (i) of Section
10.03A in its entirety and by  substituting  in lieu thereof the  following  new
clause (i):

(i) Engage,  directly or indirectly,  in a transaction involving the acquisition
of any interest in or acquisition of all or  substantially  all of the assets of
any Person so long as such acquisition is consistent with the Borrower's present
business  operations  and so long as the aggregate  amount of such  transactions
described  in this Section  10.03A(i)  does not exceed  $150,000,000  during any
Fiscal Year of the  Borrower;  provided,  however,  for purposes of this Section
10.03A(i) only, the purchase price of any such  transaction  attributable to the
purchase  of  inventory  by Borrower or any  Subsidiary  shall be excluded  when
calculating the purchase price of such transaction; or
 
(i) The Credit  Agreement is hereby further modified by deleting clause (b), (c)
and (d) from Section 15.02  thereof and by  substituting,  in lieu thereof,  the
