   To the Shareholders of
   Current Electronics, Inc. and Current Electronics Washington, Inc.:
   
   We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of Current
   Electronics, Inc. (an Oregon Corporation) and Current Electronics
   Washington, Inc. (a Washington S Corporation) as of September 30, 1996
   and 1995, and the related combined statements of income and retained
   earnings and cash flows for the years then ended.  These combined
   financial statements are the responsibility of the Companies'
   management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
   combined financial statements and supplementary combining information
   based on our audits.
   
   We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
   standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
   to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
   are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a
   test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
   financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting
   principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well
   as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We
   believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
   
   In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
   fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Current
   Electronics, Inc. and Current Electronics Washington, Inc. as of
   September 30, 1996 and 1995, and the results of their operations and
   their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with generally
   accepted accounting principles.

   Notes to Combined Financial Statements
    
                              
   
   
   1.  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS:
   
   Current Electronics, Inc. (CEI) was incorporated on December 29, 1983
   in the State of Oregon.  CEI's primary business is contract
   manufacturing of electronic circuit boards and other components for
   its customers, who are located primarily in the Portland metropolitan
   area.
   
   Current Electronics Washington, Inc. (CEWI) was incorporated as an
   S Corporation in the State of Washington in 1994 and is also a
   contract manufacturer of electronic circuit boards.  CEWI's primary
   customer is in Redmond, Washington.
   
   CEI and CEWI (the Companies) provide contract manufacturing on both a
   consigned basis (customer retains title to the raw materials) and
   turnkey basis (the Companies own the raw materials).
   
   2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
   
    
   
   Principles of Combination
   
   The financial statements combine the accounts of the Companies, after
   elimination of intercompany items and transactions.  These companies
   are being combined as they are under common ownership and management. 
   The accounting policies referred to below represent the policies of
   both companies, unless otherwise specified.
   
   Cash Equivalents
   
   Cash equivalents consists of short-term, highly liquid investments
   with maturities at the date of purchase of 90 days or less.
   
   Inventories
   
   Inventories are valued at standard cost which approximates lower of
   cost (first-in, first-out) or market, and include materials, labor and
   manufacturing overhead.
   
   Property and Equipment
   
   Property and equipment are stated at cost.  Depreciation and
   amortization are provided using the straight-line method over the
   estimated useful lives of the assets:  Machinery and production
   equipment--5 to 15 years and furniture, fixtures and computer
   equipment--5 to 7 years.  Leasehold improvements are amortized over
   the estimated useful life of the asset.
   
   Advertising
   
   Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.  For the fiscal years
   ended September 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994, advertising costs were
   $48,266, $24,642 and $33,357, respectively.
   
   Revenue Recognition
   
   Revenues are recognized when the product is shipped to the customer.
   
   Concentrations of Credit Risk
   
   The Companies' revenues are principally generated from a small number
   of electronics companies based in Oregon and Washington.  During 1996,
   four of the Companies' customers accounted for 74% of combined net
   sales.  For the year ended September 30, 1995, three customers
   accounted for 52% of combined net sales.  For the year ended September
   30, 1994, four customers accounted for 63%  of combined net sales. 
   Historically, the Companies have not incurred significant losses
   related to its accounts receivable.  However, the loss of any one
   customer could have a significant impact on the future results of the
   Companies' operations.
   
   Use of Estimates
   
   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
   accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
   and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
   liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
   amounts of expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results may
   differ from those estimates and such differences could be material to
   the financial statements.
   
   Recent Pronouncement
   
   In 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
   Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 (SFAS 121), "Accounting for the
   impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be
   Disposed of."  SFAS 121 requires an assessment of impairment of long-lived
   assets under certain conditions and recognition of loss in the event the 
   net book value of such assets exceeds the future undiscounted cash flows
   attributable to such assets.  In such instances a loss would be recorded
   based on the fair market value of the applicable asset.  SFAS 121 is
   effective for the Companies' fiscal year ending September 30, 1997.
   Adoption of SFAS 121 is not expected to have a material impact on the
   Company's financial position or results of operations.
   
   Reclassifications
   
   Certain balances for prior periods have been reclassified to be
   consistent with the September 30, 1996 presentation.
   
   3.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
   
   CEI and CEWI lease office and factory space from Hewitson, Hewitson
   and Hewitson (HHH), a partnership which is comprised of the majority
   shareholders of CEI.  Lease rates between the Companies and these
   shareholders are based on estimated fair market values.  Rents paid to
   the partnership for the years ended September 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994
   were $428,402, $259,720 and $182,520, respectively.
   
   CEI provides selling, general and administrative services to CEWI. 
   Services totaling $150,000, $60,000 and $0  were allocated to CEWI for
   the years ended September 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
   
   CEI owes HHH a combined total of $59,066 under a note (see Note 9) as
   of September 30, 1996.  CEI owed the partnership $113,055 under two
   notes at September 30, 1995.  CEI owed HHH a total of $39,190 under a
   note as of September 30, 1994.
   
   4.  OPERATING LEASES:
   
   Total rental expense under operating leases was $472,212, $362,241 and
   $232,516 during fiscal 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  Future
   minimum lease payments under noncancelable operating leases as of
   September 30, 1996 are as follows:

   Future payments under long-term debt arrangements, by year, are as
   follows:
   
   
                             Year Ended September 30,
   
                                      1997                 $   599,019

   10.  PROFIT SHARING PLAN:
   
   The Companies maintain a contributory employees' profit sharing plan
   which covers all eligible employees of the Company.  The plan provides
   for annual contributions in an amount to be determined by the
   Companies' Board of Directors at its discretion.  CEI's contribution
   for the years ended September 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994 was
   approximately $285,000, $125,000 and $92,000 , respectively.
   
   11.  INCOME TAXES:
   
   CEI accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of
   Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes"
   (SFAS 109).  Under the liability method specified by SFAS 109, the
   deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the
   temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of
   assets and liabilities as measured by the enacted tax rates for the
   years in which the taxes are expected to be paid.  At September 30,
   1996 and 1995, total deferred tax liabilities were $122,000 and
   $289,000, respectively.  In 1995, deferred tax liabilities primarily
   represent tax depreciation differences and utilization of cash method
   for tax purposes on consigned sales.  In 1996, these deferred tax
   liabilities primarily represent book/tax depreciation differences. 
   There were no significant deferred tax assets at September 30, 1996
   and 1995.
   
   CEWI has elected to be taxed as an S corporation.  Earnings and losses
   for federal tax purposes will be included in the personal income tax
   returns of the shareholders.  Accordingly, there is no provision for
   income taxes or deferred taxes reflected in the accompanying combined
   financial statements related to CEWI.
   
   CEI's effective tax rate of 33%, 39% and 48%  for fiscal 1996, 1995
   and 1994, respectively, differs from the federal statutory rate
   primarily due to state taxes and nondeductible officer life insurance
   premiums.  The 1996 effective rate is lower than the 1995 effective
   rate principally due to a one-time credit allowed by the State of
   Oregon and corrections of prior year estimates.
   
   12.  SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY:
   
   Both CEI and CEWI have 2,000,000 shares common stock authorized and
   1,000,000 shares preferred stock authorized, with a par value of $.01
   per share.  At September 30, 1996 and 1995, 300 shares of common stock 
   were issued and outstanding for both  Companies.  Subsequent to
   September 30, 1996, the Board of  Directors approved a 100-for-one
   stock split for CEI.  CEWI paid $240,000, $75,000 and $0 of dividends
   for the years ended September 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
   
   CEI and CEWI  maintain shareholder agreements which restrict the
   nature in which shares can be disposed.  In accordance with these
   agreements, the Company and/or its shareholders have right of first
   refusal as to the purchase of any shares being disposed.  The purchase
   price of such shares is based on the estimated fair market due at date
   of disposition, as determined by the Companies' Board of Directors or
   independent appraiser.

   financial position of EFTC as of December 31,1996 and the CE Companies
   as of September 30, 1996 assuming EFTC had completed a business
   combination with the CE Companies as of December 31,1996 using the
   purchase method of accounting.  Accordingly, the combined identifiable
   assets and liabilities of the CE Companies have been adjusted to their
   estimated fair values based upon a preliminary purchase price of
   approximately $10.9 million.
   
     The unaudited condensed pro forma statement of operations  assumes
   the business combination occurred on January 1, 1996 and includes the
   historical operations of EFTC for the year ended December 31,1996 and
   the historical operations of the CE Companies for the fiscal  year
   ended  September 30, 1996,  adjusted for the pro forma effects of the
   business combination.
   
     The following unaudited condensed pro forma financial information has
   been prepared based upon assumptions deemed appropriate by EFTC and
   are not necessarily indicative of the consolidated financial position
   or results of operations if the business combination had been
   consummated on the assumed dates and are not necessarily indicative of
   the actual results of the future operations of the combined companies.

   Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Information
   
   (A) Basis of Presentation
   
       On January 15, 1997, EFTC and CEI entered into the Merger
   Agreement that provides for the merger of CEI with and into a newly
   formed subsidiary of EFTC.  Additionally, EFTC and the shareholders of
   CEWI entered into a   Purchase Agreement that provides for the
   acquisition by EFTC of all of the outstanding common stock of CEWI. 
   The CE Companies are affiliates as a result of common ownership.  The
   Merger Agreement and Purchase Agreement were consummated on February
   24,1997.  Under the terms of the Merger Agreement and the Purchase
   Agreement, EFTC    paid approximately $4.9 million in cash and issued
   1,980,000 shares of its common stock to the stockholders of the
   CE Companies.  The Merger and the Acquisition were both  accounted for
   using the purchase method of accounting for business combinations. 
   Actual adjustments may differ from those presented herein upon
   finalization of the purchase accounting adjustments.
   
   (B) Pro Forma Adjustments
   
       The following pro forma adjustments have been made to the
          accompanying pro forma condensed financial information:
   
    1. To record goodwill in the amount of $7.1 million based upon the
       allocation of the estimated $10.9 million cost of the Merger and the
       Acquisition ($4.9 million in cash and 1,980,000 shares of Common Stock
       at $2.75 per share, based upon an independent valuation and estimated
       transaction costs) and to eliminate the equity accounts of the CE
       Companies.  No allocation was made to leasehold improvements with a
       historical book value of $476,351, which are expected to be abandoned. 
   
    2. To record the borrowings for the Merger and the Acquisition of
       $4.9 million.
   
    3. To record interest expense on the borrowings for the Merger and the
       Acquisition at an assumed interest rate of 8.5% per annum.
   
    4. To record amortization of goodwill resulting from the Merger and the 
       Acquisition over a 30 year period.
   
    5. Elimination of depreciation expense relating to certain leasehold
       improvements that are expected to be abandoned after consummation 
       of the Merger and the Acquisition.
   
    6. To record income tax expense (benefit) for the taxable income of CEWI,
       an S Corporation, net of the effect of the pro forma adjustments.
