          NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)
 
NOTE 1 -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
     The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules or
regulations. The interim financial statements are unaudited, but reflect all
adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair
presentation. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
 
     The results of operations for the three or nine months ended June 27, 1998
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending September 30, 1998. These condensed consolidated financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto
for the year ended September 30, 1997 included in the Company's annual report on
Form 10-K.
 
     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
 
NOTE 2 -- ACQUISITIONS
 
     In November 1997, the Company acquired Elexsys International, Inc.
("Elexsys") in a merger transaction. Under the terms of the merger agreement,
the Company's common stock was exchanged for all of Elexsys' outstanding common
stock and employee stock options. Approximately 3.3 million shares of common
stock were issued to acquire Elexsys. The merger was accounted for as a pooling
of interests, and therefore, all prior periods presented were restated to
combine the results of the two companies. A reconciliation of the financial
statements for the nine months ended June 28, 1997, to previously reported
information is as follows (in thousands):

     In February 1998, the Company acquired Pragmatech, Inc. ("Pragmatech") in a
stock purchase transaction. The purchase price was approximately $5.7 million.
The acquisition, which was accounted for as a purchase, included the payment of
cash and the assumption of liabilities. Pro forma statements of operations
reflecting the acquisition of Pragmatech are not shown, as they would not differ
materially from reported results.

NOTE 5 -- EARNINGS PER SHARE
 
     In the first quarter of fiscal 1998, the Company adopted the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, "Earnings Per
Share." SFAS 128 requires the replacement of previously reported primary and
fully diluted earnings per share (EPS) as required by Accounting Principles
Board Opinion No. 15 (APB 15) with basic earnings per share and diluted earnings
per share.
 
     Basic EPS was computed by dividing net income by the weighted average
number of shares of common stock outstanding during the third quarters and the
first nine months of fiscal 1998 and 1997. Diluted EPS for the third quarters
and the first nine months of 1997 and 1998 includes dilutive common stock
equivalents, using the treasury stock method, and assumes that the convertible
debt instruments were converted into common stock, if dilutive. As a result of
the adoption of SFAS No. 128, the Company's reported earnings per share for 1997
were restated.
 
NOTE 6 -- STOCK SPLIT
 
     On June 10, 1998, the Company effected a two-for-one stock split in the
form of a 100 percent stock dividend. Shareholders of record as of May 20, 1998
received one additional share of common stock for every share owned. Share and
per share data for all periods presented herein have been adjusted to give
effect to the stock split.
 
NOTE 7 -- DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING
 
     In June 1998, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities." SFAS 133 requires certain accounting and reporting
standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Because the Company
does not engage in derivative or hedging activities, the impact of adopting this
standard is considered immaterial.
 
NOTE 8 -- SUBSEQUENT EVENT
 
     On July 17, 1998, the Company called for the redemption of its 5 1/2
percent convertible subordinated notes, due 2002. Prior to the redemption, which
is expected to occur on August 19, 1998, holders may convert the notes into the
Company's common stock at a price of $14.096 per share, or about 70.94 shares
per $1,000 principal amount of notes.

ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
       OF OPERATIONS
 
GENERAL
 
     Sanmina Corporation ("Sanmina" or the "Company") is a leading independent
provider of customized integrated electronics manufacturing services ("EMS"),
including turnkey electronic assembly and manufacturing management services, to
original equipment manufacturers ("OEM") in the electronics industry. Sanmina's
electronics manufacturing services consist primarily of the manufacture of
complex printed circuit board assemblies using surface mount ("SMT") and pin
through-hole ("PTH") interconnection technologies, the manufacture of custom
designed backplane assemblies, fabrication of complex multi-layer printed
circuit boards, and testing and assembly of completed systems. In addition to
assembly, turnkey manufacturing management also involves procurement and
materials management, as well as consultation on printed circuit board design
and manufacturability. Sanmina, through its Sanmina Cable Systems (formerly
known as "Golden Eagle Systems") subsidiary, also manufactures custom cable
assemblies for electronics industry OEMs.
 
     Sanmina's manufacturing and assembly plants are located in Northern
California, Richardson, Texas, Manchester, New Hampshire, Durham, North
Carolina, Guntersville, Alabama, and Dublin, Ireland. Golden Eagle's
manufacturing facility is located in Carrollton, Texas. In addition, as a result
of the Elexsys merger, Sanmina has added new fabrication and assembly plants in
Northern California, Southern California, Nashua, New Hampshire, and
Peterborough, England. As a result of the Pragmatech acquisition, Sanmina added
new assembly plants in Northern California.
 
     Sanmina's operating results are affected by a number of factors, including
timing of orders from major customers, mix of products ordered by and shipped to
major customers, the volume of orders as related to the Company's capacity,
ability to effectively manage inventory and fixed assets, timing of expenditures
in anticipation of future sales and the economic conditions in the electronics
industry. Operating results can also be significantly influenced by development
and introduction of new products by the Company's customers. From time to time,
the Company experiences changes in the volume of sales to each of its principal
customers, and operating results may be affected on a period-to-period basis by
these changes. The Company's customers generally require short delivery cycles,
and a substantial portion of the Company's backlog is typically scheduled for
delivery within 120 days. Quarterly sales and operating results therefore depend
in large part on the volume and timing of bookings received during the quarter,
which are difficult to forecast. The Company's backlog also affects its ability
to plan production and inventory levels, which could lead to fluctuations in
operating results. In addition, a significant portion of the Company's operating
expenses is relatively fixed in nature and planned expenditures are based in
part on anticipated orders. Any inability to adjust spending quickly enough to
compensate for any revenue shortfall may magnify the adverse impact of such
revenue shortfall on the Company's results of operations. 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
fluctuations in the price of the Company's common stock.
 
     Sanmina's customers are manufacturers in the telecommunications, networking
(data communications), industrial and medical instrumentation and computer
systems segments of the electronics industry. These industry segments, and the
electronics industry as a whole, are subject to rapid technological change and
product obsolescence. Discontinuance or modification of products being
manufactured by the Company could adversely affect the Company's results of
operations. The electronics industry is also subject to economic cycles and has
in the past experienced, and is likely in the future to experience, recessionary
periods. A general recession in the electronics industry could have a material
adverse effect on Sanmina's business, financial condition and results of
operations. In addition, the Company has no firm long-term volume commitments
from its customers and over the last few years has experienced reduced lead-time
in customer orders. In addition, customer orders can be canceled and volume
levels can be changed or delayed. The timely replacement of canceled, delayed or
reduced orders with new business cannot be assured. There can be no assurance
that any of the Company's current customers will continue to use the Company's
manufacturing services. The loss of one or more of the Company's principal
customers, or reductions in sales to any of such
 
                                        8
<PAGE>   9
 
customers, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
financial condition and results of operations.
 
     Sanmina has pursued, and intends to continue to pursue, business
acquisition opportunities, particularly when these opportunities have the
potential to enable Sanmina to increase its net sales while maintaining
operating margin, access new geographic markets, implement Sanmina's vertical
integration strategy and/or obtain facilities and equipment on terms more
favorable than those generally available in the market. Acquisitions of
companies and businesses and expansion of operations involves certain risks,
including (i) the potential inability to successfully integrate acquired
operations and businesses or to realize anticipated synergies, economies of
scale or other value, (ii) diversion of management's attention, (iii)
difficulties in scaling up productions at new sites and coordinating management
of operations at new sites and (iv) loss of key employees of acquired
operations. No assurance can be given that the Company will not incur problems
with integrating acquired operations, and there can be no assurance that the
Company's recent acquisitions, or any future acquisition will result in a
positive contribution to the Company's results of operations. Furthermore, there
can be no assurance that the Company will realize value from any such
acquisition which equals or exceeds the consideration paid. In addition, there
can be no assurance that the Company will realize anticipated strategic and
other benefits from expansion of existing operations to new sites. Any such
problems could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
financial condition and results of operations. In addition, future acquisitions
may result in dilutive issuances of equity securities, the incurrence of
additional debt, large one-time write-offs and the creation of goodwill or other
intangible assets that could result in amortization expense.
 
     This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Section 72A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. The Company's future results from operations could vary
significantly from these contemplated by such forward-looking statements as a
result of the factors described herein. The financial and other information
contained herein should be read in conjunction with the Company's annual report
on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1997.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
     In November 1997, the Company completed its acquisition of Elexsys in a
transaction that was accounted for as a pooling of interests. Accordingly,
results for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 1997 have been
restated to combine the results of operations of both Sanmina and Elexsys.
 
     The following table sets forth, for the three and nine months ended June
27, 1998 and June 28, 1997, certain items as a percentage of net sales. The
table and the discussion below should be read in connection with the condensed
consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, which appear elsewhere
in this report.

     Sales for the third quarter of fiscal 1998 ended June 27, 1998 increased by
31% to $197.1 million from $150.2 million in the corresponding quarter of the
prior year. Sales for the nine months ended June 27, 1998 increased by 29% to
$528.4 million from $409.2 million in the same period of the prior year. The
increase in net sales was due primarily to increased shipments of EMS assemblies
to both existing and new customers. The Company experienced growth across the
customer base and the four key target markets of telecommunications, data
communications, industrial and medical instrumentation and high performance
computer systems. The overall increase in net sales reflects the continuing
trend toward outsourcing within the electronics industry. For the third quarter
of fiscal 1998, and the nine months ended June 27, 1998, approximately 87% of
the Company's net sales represented value-added EMS assembly shipments with the
remaining portion consisting of printed circuit board fabrication shipments. For
fiscal 1997, EMS assembly revenues comprised 78% of Sanmina's revenues. The
increase in the percentage of revenues represented by EMS assembly revenues was
mainly due to the increased shipments of EMS assemblies to both existing and new
customers.
 
     Gross margin increased from 21.9% in the third quarter of fiscal 1997 to
22.0% in the third quarter of the current year. Gross margin increased from
21.7% for the first nine months of fiscal 1997 to 21.9% for the first nine
months of the current year. The increase in gross margins for the third quarter
and the first nine months of fiscal 1998 is a result of normal changes in the
mix of products shipped to certain customers and normal changes in customer mix.
Due to increased competition, product and customer mix, the Company may
experience decreases in gross margins. In addition, synergies achieved through
integration of acquired operations, including the former operations of Elexsys
have contributed to the increase in gross margins. As the integration of these
operations is substantially complete, the Company does not anticipate achieving
incremental gross margin improvements as a result of synergies achieved in
connection with these acquisitions.
 
     In absolute dollars, operating expenses increased from $11.7 million in the
third quarter of fiscal 1997 to $12.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal
1998. As a percentage of sales, operating expenses decreased from 7.8% in the
third quarter of 1997 to 6.4% in the third quarter of the current year. For the
nine months, operating expenses in absolute dollars increased from $31.4 million
in fiscal 1997 to $38.3 million in fiscal 1998 and operating expenses as a
percentage of sales decreased from 7.7% for the first nine months of fiscal 1997
to 7.3% for the first nine months of fiscal 1998. The first quarter of fiscal
1998 includes a merger charge of $3.9 million. Operating margins increased from
14.1% in the third quarter of 1997 to 15.6% in the third quarter of the current
year. The increase in operating margins is primarily attributable to the
Company's ability to grow revenues at a faster rate than operating expenses.
 
     The relatively constant operating margins reflect the Company's strategy of
seeking to grow revenues while maintaining operating margins at relatively
constant levels. The dollar increase in selling and general and administrative
expenses was primarily the result of increased expenditures to support higher
sales volume. The Company anticipates that operating expenses will increase in
absolute dollars during the next few quarters due to projected additions to the
sales force and other administrative expenditures to support higher sales
volume. However, operating expenses as a percentage of sales are anticipated to
remain relatively constant or decrease depending upon sales volume and the
Company's ability to achieve expected operating efficiencies as a result of the
integration of the acquired Elexsys operations.
 
     For the third quarter of fiscal 1998, the Company reported net interest
expense of $298,000 compared to net interest expense of $681,000 for the
corresponding quarter of last year. For the first nine months of fiscal 1998,
the Company reported net interest expense of $615,000 compared to a net interest
expense of $1,956,000 for the first nine months of fiscal 1997. In the first
quarter of fiscal 1998, the Company paid approximately $12.8 million of
outstanding Elexsys debt. The decrease in outstanding debt resulted in the
reduction in interest expense for the first nine months of fiscal 1998.
 
     The Company's provision for income taxes for the three and nine month
period ended June 27, 1998 is based upon the Company's estimate of the effective
tax rate for fiscal 1998 of 36.5%. For the quarter ended June 28, 1997, the
Company's effective tax rate was 34.4% which reflects the utilization of
Elexsys' net operating loss carryforwards.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
     Cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments as of June 27, 1998 were
$134.9 million as compared to $123.1 million at September 30, 1997. The increase
was mainly attributable to the cash generated from operations. For the nine
months ending June 27, 1998, cash generated from operations was $58.4 million
compared to $37.6 million for the same period of fiscal 1997. The increase
between years primarily relates to the timing of cash flows for receivables and
payables. Working capital increased to $196.0 million as of June 27, 1998
compared to $182.0 million at September 30, 1997.
 
     Net cash used for investing activities for the first nine months of fiscal
1998 primarily related to the purchase of short-term investments and equipment
for which the Company paid a total of approximately $52.8 million in cash.
Additionally, on February 23, 1998, the Company paid approximately $5.7 million
in cash to acquire Pragmatech.
 
     Net cash used for financing activities for the first nine months of fiscal
year 1998 related to the repayment of approximately $23.1 million in outstanding
debt. The proceeds from the sale of common stock, $10.5 million, were offset by
$15.6 million paid for other long-term liabilities.
 
     The Company anticipates that its working capital requirements will increase
in order to support anticipated volumes of business. Additionally, the Company
expects to make additional capital expenditures relating to facility and
equipment enhancements as well as information systems upgrades in existing
facilities. Future liquidity needs will be dependent upon, among other factors,
the extent of capital investments made by the Company in plant and equipment,
working capital needs of acquired businesses, levels of shipments by the Company
and changes in volumes of business and other factors. The Company believes that
its existing cash resources, together with cash generated from operations, will
be sufficient to meet the Company's liquidity and working capital requirements
through at least the end of the current fiscal year.
 
     The Company is in the process of addressing internal and external year 2000
issues. Based on its review of these matters to date, the Company does not
believe that these issues will have a material adverse effect on either the
business, financial condition, or results of operations of the Company. In
particular, the Company does not anticipate material expenditures for upgrading
information systems to address year 2000 concerns.
