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 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,
1999 contained in our 1999 annual report on Form 10-K. In our opinion, the
accompanying consolidated financial statements include all adjustments,
consisting of only 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 three-month period ended November 30, 1999
are not necessarily indicative of the results that should be expected for a
full fiscal year.
EARNINGS PER SHARE
The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted
earnings per share (in thousands, except per share data):

For the three-month periods ended November 30, 1998 and 1999, options
to purchase 80,000 and 198,690, respectively, 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,
their effect would be antidilutive.
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
We were named as a defendant, along with 87 other companies engaged in
the electronics and other industries, in a patent infringement lawsuit
filed by the Lemelson Medical, Education & Research Foundation Limited
Partnership ("Lemelson") in the U.S. District Court for the District of
Arizona on February 26, 1999. The defendants include certain of our
suppliers, customers and competitors. The complaint alleges that Jabil and
the other defendants are each infringing upon as many as 18 patents held by
Lemelson relating to the defendants' manufacturing processes and products.
The complaint seeks to enjoin the defendants from further alleged acts of
infringement, an unspecified amount of damages to compensate Lemelson for
alleged past infringement, together with interest and costs, such damages
to be trebled due to alleged willful infringement, reasonable attorney's
fees, and such other relief that the court may award. We, along with
several other defendants, jointly hired legal counsel to represent us in
the litigation and filed an answer to the complaint denying the substantive
allegations in the complaint and raising various affirmative defenses.
Lemelson has offered to license the patents alleged to be infringed. Based
on our understanding of the terms that Lemelson has made available to
certain licensees, we believe that obtaining a license from Lemelson under
the same or similar terms would not have a material adverse effect on our
results of operations or financial condition. We have not yet determined,
however, whether to seek such a license, and we cannot assure you that, if
sought, we would be offered the same or similar terms or that the ultimate
resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on us.
We are party to certain other lawsuits in the ordinary course of
business. We do 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 our financial position or results of
operations.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Statement 133 - Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities. Statement 133 establishes methods of accounting for derivative
financial instruments and hedging activities related to those instruments
as well as other hedging activities. We are currently evaluating this
Statement and have yet to form an opinion on whether its adoption will have
any significant impact on our consolidated financial statements. We will be
required to implement Statement 133 for our fiscal year ending August 31,
2001.

NOTE 2. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
On September 1, 1999 we acquired, through our Jabil Global Services
subsidiary, the net assets of EFTC Services, Inc., an electronic product
service and repair business. Jabil Global Services continues to offer
repair and warranty services for existing and future customers from its
hub-based operations in Memphis, Tennessee; Louisville, Kentucky; and
Tampa, Florida. The purchase price of approximately $27 million was paid in
cash. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and resulted in
approximately $18 million of goodwill, which is being amortized on a
straight-line basis over a period of 15 years. The consolidated financial
statements include the operating results of the acquired business from the
date of acquisition. Pro forma results of operations have not been
presented because the effect of the acquisition was not material.
On September 13, 1999 we issued approximately 5.6 million shares of
our common stock for all the outstanding common stock of GET Manufacturing,
Inc., a China-based electronics manufacturing services provider. In
connection with the merger we recorded a one-time acquisition-related
charge of $5.2 million ($4.7 million after-tax) consisting of key employee
severance and legal and professional fees associated with the merger.
Substantially all of the costs have been incurred by November 30, 1999. The
business combination was accounted for as a pooling-of-interests and,
accordingly, our historical consolidated financial statements presented
herein have been restated to include the accounts and results of operations
of GET Manufacturing, Inc. There were no significant adjustments to conform
GET Manufacturing, Inc.'s methods of accounting with that of Jabil Circuit,
Inc. In addition, there were no transactions between the two companies
prior to the combination.
A reconciliation of the previously reported results for the three months
ended November 30, 1998 to the results in this form 10-Q is as follows (in
thousands):

situation changes in the future. All forward-looking statements attributable to
us are expressly qualified by these cautionary statements.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
All prior year historical financial information has been restated to
reflect the merger with GET Manufacturing, Inc. in the first fiscal quarter
of 2000 which was accounted for as a pooling of interests.
Our net revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2000 increased 39% to
$690 million from $495 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1999. This
increase from the previous fiscal year was primarily due to increased
production of communications and personal computer products. Foreign source
revenue represented 44% of net revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2000
compared to 39% for the same period of fiscal 1999. The increase in foreign
source revenue was attributable to increased production at our
international locations.
Gross margin decreased to 10.6% for the first quarter of fiscal 2000
from 11.0% for the same period of fiscal 1999 reflecting a higher content
of material-based revenue and underutilization of assets in certain
international factories.
Selling, general and administrative expenses in the first quarter of
fiscal 2000 decreased to 3.9% of net revenue compared to 4.2% in the prior
fiscal year, while increasing in absolute dollars from $20.8 million in the
first quarter of fiscal 1999 to $27.1 million in the first quarter of
fiscal 2000. The dollar increases were primarily due to increased staffing
and related departmental expenses at all our locations as well as increased
information systems staff to support the expansion of our business.
11
<PAGE> 12
Research and development expenses decreased to 0.2% of net revenue for
the first quarter of fiscal 2000 as compared to 0.3% for the same period of
fiscal 1999. In absolute dollars, the expenses decreased approximately $0.3
million versus the same period of fiscal 1999.
Amortization of intangibles remained a constant 0.1% of sales, while
increasing from $0.4 million to $0.6 million. This increase is attributable
to the $18 million of goodwill resulting from the EFTC Services, Inc
acquisition. We are amortizing the goodwill on a straight-line basis over
fifteen years.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2000, we completed a merger with
GET Manufacturing, Inc. and recorded a one-time acquisition-related charge
of $5.2 million ($4.7 million after-tax) consisting of key employee
severance and legal and professional fees associated with the merger.
Interest income increased approximately $0.9 million in the first
quarter of fiscal 2000 to $1.2 million as compared to $0.3 million in the
first quarter of fiscal 1999 as a result of increased cash on hand.
Interest expense decreased approximately $1.4 million in the first
three months of fiscal 2000 to $0.6 million as compared to $1.9 million in
the first three months of fiscal 1999 as result of the principal payment on
our private placement debt of approximately $8.3 million made in the fourth
quarter of fiscal 1999 and decreased borrowings to support working capital
needs.
Our effective tax rate decreased to 33.8% in the first quarter of
fiscal 2000 from 34.3% in the first quarter of fiscal 1999. The tax rate is
predominantly a function of the mix of domestic versus international income
from operations. Our international operations are being taxed at a lower
rate than in the United States, primarily due to the tax holiday granted to
our Malaysian subsidiary.
BUSINESS FACTORS
Due to the nature of turnkey manufacturing and our relatively small
number of customers, our quarterly operating results are affected by the
level and timing of orders, the level of capacity utilization of our
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 we achieve 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 our customers
have terminated their manufacturing arrangement with us, and other
customers have significantly reduced or delayed the volume of manufacturing
services ordered from us. Any such termination of a manufacturing
relationship or change, reduction or delay in orders could have an adverse
effect on our results of operations.
12
<PAGE> 13
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At November 30, 1999, our principal sources of liquidity consisted of
cash and available borrowings under our credit facilities. We have
committed line of credit facilities in place with a syndicate of banks that
provide up to $225 million of working capital borrowing capacity. As of
November 30, 1999, we were not utilizing our revolving credit facility.
We used $0.7 million of cash in operating activities for the three
months ended November 30, 1999. The use of cash was primarily due to an
increase in inventories of $78.3 million, an increase of $54.4 million in
accounts receivable, offset by net income of $26.5 million, depreciation
and amortization of $23.0 million, and increases in accounts payable and
accrued expenses of $85.4 million.
Net cash used in investing activities of $88.5 million for the three
months ended November 30, 1999 consisted of our capital expenditures of
$61.9 million for equipment worldwide in order to support increased
activities and cash paid in the EFTC Services, Inc. acquisition of $27.4
million.
On September 13, 1999 we issued approximately 5.6 million shares of
our common stock for all the outstanding common stock of GET Manufacturing,
Inc., a China-based electronics manufacturing services provider.
We believe that cash on-hand, funds provided by operations and
available borrowings under the credit facility will be sufficient to
satisfy our currently anticipated working capital and capital expenditure
requirements for the next twelve months.
"YEAR 2000" READINESS
We are continuing to actively take steps to ensure that our global
information technology infrastructure and business system applications,
manufacturing equipment and systems are Year 2000 compliant. While not all
possible Year 2000-date related disruption scenarios have been experienced,
and there is a possibility of disruptions in the future, through the date
of this report, we have not experienced material disruption or other
significant problems. We are continuing to evaluate and mitigate our
exposure where appropriate.
We are unable to fully determine the effect of a failure of our own
systems or those of third parties with whom we do business, but any
significant failures could have a material adverse effect on our financial
position, results of operations and cash flows.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
There have been no material changes in our market risk during the
three months ended November 30, 1999. Market risk information is contained
under the caption "Quantitative And Qualitative Disclosures About Market
Risk" of our 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
August 31, 1999 and is incorporated herein by reference.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 2: CHANGES IN SECURITIES
On September 13, 1999, we completed the acquisition of 100% of the
voting common stock of GET Manufacturing, Inc., a corporation organized
under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, through the issuance of
approximately 5.6 million shares of our common stock. The acquisition was
made pursuant to an agreement and plan of merger between the us, JG
Acquisition, Inc., a Michigan corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of
ours, GET Manufacturing, Inc., and Mr. Shin Fang. The 5.6 million shares of
common stock issued by us in exchange for 100% of the voting common stock
of GET was not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in
reliance upon an exception provided by Rule 506 of Regulation D and/or
Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Act") and/or Section 4(2) of the Act, and applicable state securities
laws.
