                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)


NOTE 1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


     BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Jabil Circuit,
         Inc. and subsidiaries ("the Company") are unaudited and have been
         prepared based upon prescribed guidance of the Securities and Exchange
         Commission ("SEC"). As such, they do not include all disclosures
         required by generally accepted accounting principles, and should be
         read in conjunction with the annual audited consolidated statements as
         of and for the year ended August 31, 1997 contained in the Company's
         1997 annual report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, the
         accompanying consolidated financial statements include all adjustments,
         consisting of normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair
         presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash
         flows for the periods presented when read in conjunction with the
         annual audited consolidated financial statements and related notes
         thereto. The results of operations for the nine-month period ended May
         31, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results that should be
         expected for a full fiscal year.


     EARNINGS PER SHARE


         The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128
         (SFAS 128), "Earnings per Share," in the second quarter of fiscal 1998.
         Under SFAS 128, the Company presents two earnings per share (EPS)
         amounts. Basic EPS is calculated based on net earnings available to
         common shareholders and the weighted-average number of shares
         outstanding during the reported period. Diluted EPS includes additional
         dilution from potential common stock, such as stock issuable pursuant
         to the exercise of stock options outstanding. All earnings per share
         amounts for all periods have been presented, and where necessary,
         restated to conform to the Statement 128 requirements.

</TABLE>

         For the three-month and nine-month periods ended May 31, 1998, options
         to purchase 60,000 shares of common stock were outstanding during the
         period but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per
         share because the options' exercise prices were greater than the
         average market price of the common shares, and therefore, the effect
         would be antidilutive. For the three-month and nine-month periods ended
         May 31, 1997, 40,000 and 42,000, respectively, antidilutive options
         existed.


COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

         At May 31, 1998, the Company had approximately $25 million in new
         facility and equipment purchase commitments outstanding.

         The Company is party to certain lawsuits in the ordinary course of
         business. Management does not believe that these proceedings,
         individually or in aggregate, are material or that any adverse outcomes
         of these lawsuits will have a material adverse effect on the Company's
         financial statements.



NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

         In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
         Standards No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income. Statement 130
         establishes standards for reporting comprehensive income. The Statement
         defines comprehensive income as the change in equity of an enterprise
         except those resulting from shareholder transactions. All components of
         comprehensive income are required to be reported in a new financial
         statement that is displayed with equal prominence as existing financial


                                       7

         statements. The Company will be required to adopt this statement
         September 1, 1998. As the Statement addresses reporting and
         presentation issues only, there will be no impact on earnings from its
         adoption.

         In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
         Standards No. 131, Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and
         Related Information. Statement 131 establishes standards for related
         disclosures about the products and services, geographic areas, and
         major customers of an enterprise. The Company will be required to adopt
         this Statement for financial statements for the fiscal year ending
         August 31, 1998. As this Statement addresses reporting and disclosure
         issues only, there will be no impact on earnings from its adoption.

NOTE 2.  PROPOSED ACQUISITION

         In May 1998, The Company signed a Memorandum of Understanding with
         Hewlett-Packard Company to acquire HP's Laserjet Solutions Group
         Formatter Manufacturing Organization (FMO). Under the terms of the
         memorandum, the Company will acquire the printed-circuit assembly
         assets of the FMO operations in Boise, Idaho and Bergamo, Italy and
         offer employment to the 600 employees of those operations. The closing
         is subject to the completion of due diligence and other terms and
         conditions and is expected to be completed in August 1998.

                      JABIL CIRCUIT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations contains trend analysis and a number of forward-looking statements.
These statements are based on current expectations and actual results may differ
materially. Among the factors which could cause actual results to vary are those
described in "Business Factors" below.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         The Company's net revenue for the third quarter and first nine months
of fiscal 1998 increased 25% and 43% to $310 million and $960 million,
respectively from $248 million and $673 million in the third quarter and first
nine months of fiscal 1997. This increase from the previous fiscal year was
primarily due to increased production of communications and computer peripherals
products. Foreign source revenue represented 33% of net revenue for the third
quarter and first nine months of fiscal 1998 compared to 26% and 31%,
respectively, for the same periods of fiscal 1997. The increase in foreign
source revenue was attributable to increased production at the Company's foreign
locations.

         Gross margin decreased to 12.8% for the third quarter of fiscal 1998
from 12.9% for the same period of fiscal 1997, reflecting a comparable business
mix from the prior year. Gross margin increased to 13.0% for the first nine
months of fiscal 1998 as compared to 12.1% for the same period of the prior
fiscal year. This increase resulted from a shift in product mix to higher
value-added products.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses in the third quarter of
fiscal 1998 increased to 4.2% of net revenue compared to 3.7% in the prior
fiscal year, while increasing in absolute dollars from $9.3 million in fiscal
1997 to $12.9 million in fiscal 1998. Selling, general and administrative
expenses increased to 3.8% of net revenue in the first nine months of fiscal
1998 from 3.7% as compared with the same period of the prior fiscal year, while
increasing in absolute dollars from $24.9 million in fiscal 1997 to $36.9
million in fiscal 1998. The dollar increases were primarily due to increased
staffing and related departmental expenses at all the Company's locations along
with increased information systems staff to support the expansion of the
Company's business.

         Research and development expenses remained a constant 0.3% of net
revenue for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 1998 as compared
to the same periods of fiscal 1997. In absolute dollars, the expenses increased
approximately $342,000 and $624,000, respectively, versus the same periods of
fiscal 1997 due to the expansion of circuit design activities.

         Interest expense increased approximately $0.3 million and $1.1 million,
respectively, in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 1998 to $0.7
million and $2.6 million due to an increase in short-term borrowings and
decreased interest income earned on cash balances.

         The Company's effective tax rate decreased to 31.0% and 31.8% in the
third quarter and first nine months, respectively, of fiscal 1998 from 32.7% and
35.0% in the third quarter and first 

                                       9

<PAGE>   10

nine months of fiscal 1997. The fiscal 1998 tax rate is lower primarily due to
the granting of "pioneer" tax status to the Company's Malaysia subsidiary. This
status allows tax-free treatment of the subsidiary's income for the period
November 1, 1995 to October 30, 2000.

BUSINESS FACTORS

         Due to the nature of turnkey manufacturing and the Company's relatively
small number of customers, the Company's quarterly operating results are
affected by the level and timing of orders, the level of capacity utilization of
its manufacturing facilities and associated fixed costs, fluctuations in
material costs, and by the mix of material costs versus manufacturing costs.
Similarly, operating results are affected by price competition, level of
experience in manufacturing a particular product, degree of automation used in
the assembly process, efficiencies achieved by the Company in managing
inventories and fixed assets, timing of expenditures in anticipation of
increased sales, customer product delivery requirements, and shortages of
components or labor. In the past, some of the Company's customers have
terminated their manufacturing arrangement with the Company, and other customers
have significantly reduced or delayed the volume of manufacturing services
ordered from the Company. Any such termination of a manufacturing relationship
or change, reduction or delay in orders could have an adverse affect on the
Company's results of operations.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         At May 31, 1998, the Company's principal sources of liquidity consisted
of cash and available borrowings under the Company's credit facilities. The
Company and its subsidiaries have committed line of credit facilities in place
with a syndicate of banks that provide up to $100 million of working capital
borrowing capacity.

         The Company generated $69.5 million of cash in operating activities for
the nine months ended May 31, 1998. The generation of cash was primarily due to
net income of $56.5 million, depreciation and amortization of $23.5 million and
a decrease of $12.5 million in inventories, offset by an increase in accounts
receivable of $6.9 million and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued
expenses of $16.4 million.

         Net cash used in investing activities of $70.5 million for the nine
months ended May 31, 1998 was a result of the Company's capital expenditures for
equipment worldwide in order to support increased activities and the
construction of new manufacturing facilities.

         Net cash of $1.1 million was used by financing activities for the nine
months ended May 31, 1998. This was primarily attributable to $2.5 million in
payments of long-term debt, offset by $1.4 million in net proceeds from the
issuance of common stock.

         The Company believes that cash on-hand, funds provided by operations
and available borrowings under the credit facility will be sufficient to satisfy
its currently anticipated working capital and capital expenditure requirements
for the next twelve months.
