NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 27, 1998
(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 27, 1998, are
not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the year ending June
30,  1999.  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, 1998.

NOTE B - INCOME TAXES

U.S.  income  taxes in excess of estimated  foreign  income tax credits have not
been  provided  on  certain  undistributed   earnings  of  foreign  subsidiaries
aggregating  $91  million at  December  27,  1998,  which are  considered  to be
permanently  invested.  Otherwise,   approximately  $20  million  of  cumulative
deferred  income  taxes  would  have been  provided.  The  estimated  income tax
provision for fiscal 1999 differs from the U.S. statutory income tax rate due to
state income taxes offset by lower taxed foreign earnings considered permanently
invested.

NOTE C - EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic  earnings per share are  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

Total  unused  credit  amounts  available  to the Company at December  27, 1998,
including those available under the asset securitization agreement, approximated
$654 million.


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, including
statements   herein,   relating  to  such  matters  as   anticipated   financial
performance, business prospects and outlook, plant expansions, foreign sales and
currency risks, technological developments, price competition, operating margin,
liquidity,  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  cause  actual  results  to  differ  materially  include
component   availability   and   pricing,   management   of   growth,   customer
concentration, customer order flow, competition, technological change, 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, 1998.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Sales  declined  2.8% in the  second  quarter  to $1.74  billion  from the $1.79
billion in the same period a year earlier.  Net income  declined  13.1% to $32.7
million in the second  quarter of fiscal 1999 from the $37.6 million in the same
quarter of fiscal  1998.  Basic and diluted  earnings  per share for the quarter
were $.54 and $.48,  respectively,  compared with $.63 and $.55 per share a year
earlier.

Sales for the first six months of fiscal  year 1999  declined  6.3% from that in
fiscal  1998's first six months  ($3.31  billion  compared  with $3.53  billion,
respectively).  Net income was $62.6 million  compared with $73.9 million a year
earlier.  Basic and  diluted  earnings  per share for the first six months  were
$1.04 and $.93,  respectively,  compared  with $1.24 and $1.08 per share for the
prior fiscal year's first six months.

Finished product assembly accounted for approximately  one-half of the Company's
sales both in the first six  months of fiscal  year 1999 and in total for fiscal
year 1998.  Foreign sales  represented 41% of consolidated  sales in fiscal year
1999's first six months in comparison  to 31% in total in fiscal year 1998.  The
trend for increased  percentage of the  Company's  sales being  generated by its
lower cost foreign operations is expected to continue.

Operating  margins declined from the year earlier periods  primarily  because of
startup and  transition  costs of new and  enlarged  facilities  and projects in
addition to intense industry price pressures. While a number of new projects are
proceeding, certain  customer market share shifts have occurred with a resultant
effect on sales.

Net interest  expense for the second quarter of fiscal 1999 remained at the same
approximate  percent of sales as that  incurred  in same  quarter of fiscal 1998
(.28% in fiscal 1999 and .29% in fiscal 1998). For the first six months,  fiscal
1999's net interest  expense  increased  to .30% from .27% in fiscal 1998.  This
increase resulted from lower interest income as interest rates declined and cash
was used to purchase assets. Interest income netted against interest expense was
earned from temporary investment of cash.

Estimated  effective  income  tax rate  differs  from the  U.S.  statutory  rate
primarily  due to the effects of state income taxes offset by lower income taxes
on foreign earnings  considered  permanently  invested.  The estimated effective
income tax rate  declined in fiscal 1999 from that  estimated a year earlier due
to increased lower taxed foreign earnings.

Fiscal  1999 second  quarter's  and first six months' net income as a percent of
sales were 1.9% compared with 2.1% in the prior fiscal year's  similar  periods.
This decline principally resulted from lower margins as previously discussed.

OUTLOOK

The  Company's  current  outlook  is that  March and June  quarter  revenue  and
earnings figures will not meet earlier expectations but, however, should meet or
exceed year earlier  results.  A multiplant  headcount  reduction  program is in
progress in the interest of efficiency enhancement.

The recently announced  consolidation of the Company's Watsonville,  California,
plant with other plants is not currently  expected to  materially  impact future
earnings.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

Working capital at December 27, 1998, was $804 million  compared to $759 million
at June 30, 1998. This change mainly  resulted from increased  current assets in
support of larger quarterly revenues. December 27, 1998's current ratio declined
slightly from June 30, 1998's 2.0 to 1.9.

Available  liquidity at December 27, 1998,  was $846 million,  comprised of $654
million  in  unused  credit  facilities  and  $192  million  in  cash  and  cash
equivalents.  Somewhat lower available liquidity may result during the remainder
of  fiscal  1999 as it is  used to fund  expenditures  in  support  of  capacity
expansion. The Company believes that existing liquidity is sufficient to support
near term needs.

Fiscal 1999's  capital  expenditures  are  currently  estimated at $150 million.
However,  if market  conditions  change from those  currently  anticipated,  the
Company  may  increase  or  decrease  the  capital  expenditure  level.  Capital
expenditures  will  also  be  impacted  if  the  Company  acquires  any  further
manufacturing  operations  from  other  companies.  The  Company  has an ongoing
program of actively  investigating  business  opportunities  generated  by other
companies' outsourcing.

The recently announced pending acquisition of VeriFone,  Inc.'s Kunshan,  China,
operation will be funded from existing liquidity. The acquisition is anticipated
to be completed in the Company's June quarter.

YEAR 2000 READINESS

The  Company is  actively  engaged in a Year 2000  readiness  project to address
compatibility  compliance  of  its  software  and  equipment.  The  Company  has
established a working group to oversee its Year 2000 readiness  efforts,  and to
monitor vendors' and customers'  status in this area as well. This working group
is headed by a Company Senior Vice President.

Year 2000  compliant  software  revisions  to various  software  packages  (both
internally  developed  and  externally  purchased)  that  process the  Company's
interlocking  order entry,  shop floor control and other  manufacturing  systems
have been substantially completed. Testing of Year 2000 readiness is anticipated
to be substantially completed by June 1999.

All of the Company's  accounting  systems,  except  payroll and  invoicing,  are
currently  being  processed on upgraded Year 2000 compliant  software  packages.
Upgraded  Year 2000  compliant  software  packages for payroll and invoicing are
currently  being  tested,  and are planned to be fully  installed  during fiscal
1999's fourth quarter.

The possibility  exists that the Company may inadvertently  fail to identify and
correct  a Year  2000  problem.  The  Company  believes  the  impact  of such an
occurrence  would be minor and  correctable,  as it has upgraded  and  purchased
substantial  quantities  of Year 2000  compliant  software  and  equipment,  and
continues to do so.

Based on its inquiries to date, the Company  believes  satisfactory  progress is
being made by its major vendors and customers on Year 2000 readiness.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK.

The  Company's  Brazilian  operations  are the  source  of its  primary  foreign
currency  exposure.  (Refer to Item 7a. of the  Company's  June 30,  1998,  Form
10-K.) Recently, the Brazilian currency has seen a substantial devaluation. This
devaluation  will  result in a currency  exchange  loss in the  Company's  third
quarter.  Net current assets of  approximately  $13 million at December 27, 1998
are partially exposed to Brazilian currency fluctuations.  The Company is taking
steps to reduce its exposure to the Brazilian currency in all reasonable ways.
