                                  THE COMPANY
 
GENERAL
 
     The Company is a leading independent provider of "high-mix" electronic
manufacturing services and repair and warranty services to original equipment
manufacturers ("OEMs"). The Company's manufacturing services focus on a market
niche of "high-mix" electronic products--products that are characterized by
small lot sizes with differences in configuration from each lot size to the
next--with an emphasis on high-speed production. Following its recent
acquisition of the CTI Companies, the Company now also provides "hub-based"
repair and warranty services that are marketed as part of the logistics service
offerings of the two largest transportation companies that specialize in
overnight delivery services in the United States. These "hub-based" services are
provided principally through facilities located inside such transportation
companies' national sorting, warehouse and logistics hub facilities (the
"Overnight Delivery Hubs") in Memphis, Tennessee and Louisville, Kentucky. The
Company's ten largest customers on a pro forma revenue basis for the first nine
months of 1997, taking into account the Company's recently completed
acquisitions, would have been: Exabyte Corporation, AlliedSignal Inc., Apple
Computer, Inc., Hewlett-Packard Company, Ohmeda Inc., ADC Telecommunications,
International Business Machines Corporation, Gateway 2000, Inc., Sony Corp of
America, Inc. and ESI Automation Inc.
 
INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
 
     Outsourcing of electronic manufacturing services continues to grow as OEMs
increasingly focus on their core competencies of designing and marketing their
products. According to Technology Forecasters, an independent market research
firm, the worldwide market for electronic manufacturing services is expected to
grow from $60 billion in 1996 to $140 billion in 2000, representing a compound
annual growth rate of 24%. The Company believes that the growth of outsourcing
combined with the increasing number of types of electronic products that have
emerged over the last decade is fundamentally changing the nature of the
electronic manufacturing industry. In particular, the Company believes that OEMs
are offering, and in the future will increasingly offer, electronic products
that are customized to the diverse specifications of end users and therefore
OEMs will require more services from electronic manufacturing service providers.
The Company believes that such additional services will include high-mix
manufacturing capability, "box-build" and "build-to-order" ("BTO") capabilities,
inventory and logistics management, and integrated repair and warranty services.
 
STRATEGY
 
     The Company's objective is to be a leading provider of electronic
manufacturing services exclusively focused on the needs of high-mix OEM
customers in its targeted markets. The Company believes its customers are
increasingly focused on improved inventory management, reduced time to market,
BTO
                                        3
<PAGE>   5
 
production, access to leading-edge manufacturing technology and reduced capital
investment. The Company's strategy is to provide a unique set of capabilities
derived from its two key core competencies:
 
     "High-mix" manufacturing competence. The Company's high-mix
     manufacturing competence is based on the Company's capabilities in
     small-lot processing at high production speeds, and allows the Company
     to produce high-mix products with high levels of responsiveness and
     flexibility to changes in customers' needs. The nature of high-mix
     products historically makes them difficult to manufacture at high
     production speeds or with a high level of responsiveness.
 
     "Hub-based" repair and warranty services. The Company provides its
     customers with enhanced services through the integration of the
     Company's repair and warranty services with the facilities of the
     overnight delivery service providers located at the Overnight Delivery
     Hubs. This integration enables the Company to simplify inventory and
     logistics management for its customers and to provide high-speed
     fulfillment of repair and warranty service orders. The two overnight
     delivery service providers market the Company's repair and warranty
     services as part of their own logistics services offerings. The
     Company is developing plans to use the high-speed order fulfillment
     advantages of the hub-based facilities to provide a platform from
     which the Company can provide BTO services.
 
ACQUISITIONS
 
     Through the Acquisitions (as defined below) completed in 1997, the Company
has expanded its operations from one manufacturing facility in Colorado at the
beginning of 1997 to seven facilities throughout the United States at September
30, 1997. The Acquisitions, described below, have strategically expanded the
Company's breadth of high-mix service offerings to include concurrent
engineering, subassembly manufacturing, next-day delivery of assemblies and
warranty and post-warranty repair services.

     Certain statements in this Prospectus, including statements contained in
the Summary, and under the captions "Business and Properties," "Managements'
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and
elsewhere in this Prospectus constitute "forward-looking statements" within the
meaning of the PSLRA, that involve known and unknown risks, including, without
limitation, statements containing the words "believes," "anticipates,"
"estimates," "expects," "may" and words of similar import or statements of
management's opinion. In addition, this Prospectus contains, on pages 3, 27 and
28, forecasts of future growth in markets served by the Company. These forecasts
were prepared by entities that are not affiliated with the Company or the
Underwriters and are based on assumptions formulated by such entities without

expectations and the Company's ability to keep pace with technological
developments and governmental actions.
 
                                  RISK FACTORS
 
     In addition to the other information contained in this Prospectus,
prospective investors should consider carefully the following information before
making an investment in the Common Stock offered hereby.
 
MANAGEMENT OF GROWTH; GEOGRAPHIC EXPANSION
 
     The Company has experienced rapid growth since February 1997 and intends to
pursue continued growth through internal expansion and acquisitions. The
Company's rapid growth has placed, and could continue to place, a significant
strain on the Company's management information, operating and financial systems.
In order to maintain and improve results of operations, the Company's management
will be required to manage growth and expansion effectively. The Company's need
to manage growth effectively will require it to continue to implement and
improve its management information, operating and financial systems and internal
controls, to develop the management skills of its managers and supervisors and
to train, motivate and manage its employees. There can be no assurance that the
Company's historical revenue growth will continue. The Company's failure to
effectively manage growth could adversely affect the Company's results of
operations. See "-- Acquisition Strategy" and "-- Uncertainties Relating to the
Integration of CTI Companies."
 
     In 1997, the Company has acquired, and undertaken the construction of,
facilities in several locations and the Company may acquire or build additional
facilities from time to time in the future. The Company's results of operations
could be adversely affected if its new facilities do not achieve growth
sufficient to offset increased expenditures associated with growth of operations
and geographic expansion. Should the Company increase its expenditures in
anticipation of a future level of sales which does not materialize, its results
of operations would be adversely affected. As the Company continues to expand,
it may become more difficult to manage geographically-dispersed operations.
There can be no assurance that the Company will successfully manage other plants
it may acquire or build in the future.
 
                                        8
<PAGE>   10
 
ACQUISITION STRATEGY
 
     The Company has actively pursued in the past, and expects to actively
pursue in the future, acquisitions in furtherance of its strategy of
aggressively expanding its operations, geographic markets, service offerings,
customer base and revenue base. Acquisitions, including the CTI Merger, the
AlliedSignal Asset Purchase and the CE Merger, involve numerous risks, including
difficulties in the integration of the operations, technologies and products and
services of the acquired companies and assets, the diversion of management's
attention and the Company's financial resources from other business activities,
the potential to enter markets in which the Company has no or limited prior
experience and where competitors in such markets have stronger market positions
and the potential loss of key employees and customers of the acquired companies.
In addition, during the integration of an acquired company, the financial
performance of the Company will be subject to the risks commonly associated with
an acquisition, including the financial impact of expenses necessary to realize
benefits from the acquisition and the potential for disruption of operations.
 
     Acquisitions by the Company have in the past been financed with substantial
borrowings. Although the Company intends to use the net proceeds of the offering
made hereby to retire a significant portion of its outstanding indebtedness, the
Company may incur significant amounts of indebtedness in connection with future
acquisitions, other transactions or funding expansions of the Company's
operations. Future acquisitions may also involve potentially dilutive issuances
of equity securities.
 
     There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to identify
suitable acquisition opportunities, to consummate acquisitions successfully or,
with respect to recent or future acquisitions, integrate acquired personnel and
operations into the Company successfully. The Company currently has no
understandings or commitments with respect to any future acquisition
transactions.
 
UNCERTAINTIES RELATING TO THE INTEGRATION OF THE CTI COMPANIES
 
     In addition to the general risks described under "-- Acquisition Strategy,"
the acquisition of the CTI Companies presents other specific risks. The
acquisition of the CTI Companies represents a significant expansion of the
Company's operations into markets in which, prior to the CTI Merger, the
Company's management team had limited prior experience. The Company's management
team now includes management personnel and employees of the CTI Companies who
have not previously worked with the Company. The Company's effort to
successfully enter the electronics repair and warranty business will depend on
the ability of this new, combined management team to work together effectively
and on the Company's ability to retain key personnel of the CTI Companies.
 
     The Company's future success is also dependent upon its ability to
effectively integrate the CTI Companies into the Company. There can be no
assurance as to the timing or amount of any marketing opportunities or revenue
increases that may be realized as the result of the acquisition of the CTI
Companies. Further, there can be no assurance that the CTI Merger will enhance
the Company's competitive position and business prospects.
 
     The diversion of management attention, the inability to satisfy the
foregoing needs and any other difficulties encountered in the integration
process could have an adverse effect on the Company's business, results of
operations and financial condition.
 
DEPENDENCE ON A LIMITED NUMBER OF CUSTOMERS; RELATIONSHIPS WITH TRANSPORTATION
PROVIDERS
 
     The Company has historically relied on a small number of customers to
generate a significant percentage of its revenue. On a pro forma basis taking
into account the Acquisitions, in the first nine months of 1997, three of the
Company's customers each accounted for more than 10% of the Company's net
revenues and the Company's ten largest customers accounted for 67.9% of the
Company's net revenue. In 1996, two of the Company's customers each accounted
for more than 10% of the Company's net revenues and the Company's ten largest
manufacturing customers represented 76.9% of net revenue. The Company expects
that AlliedSignal Inc. ("AlliedSignal"), which is one of the Company's
 
                                        9
<PAGE>   11
 
ten largest customers, will account in 1998 for a significantly larger portion
of the Company's net revenue than it has historically. The loss of AlliedSignal
as a customer would, and the loss of any other significant customer could, have
a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results of
operations.
 
     If the Company's efforts to expand its customer base are not successful,
the Company will continue to depend upon a relatively small number of customers
for a significant percentage of its net sales. There can be no assurance that
current customers, including AlliedSignal, or future customers of the Company
will not terminate their manufacturing arrangements with the Company or
significantly change, reduce or delay the amount of manufacturing services
ordered from the Company. Ohmeda, Inc. ("Ohmeda")which has been one of the
Company's ten largest customers, has announced future plans to consolidate its
outside manufacturing arrangements with another electronic contract
manufacturer. See "-- Absence of Long-Term Manufacturing Contacts." In addition,
the Company may from time to time hold significant accounts receivable from
sales to certain customers. The insolvency or other inability of a significant
customer to pay outstanding receivables could have a material adverse effect on
the Company's results of operations and financial condition.
 
     The Company's repair and warranty operations are built around their
principal locations at the Overnight Delivery Hubs of the two largest
transportation companies that specialize in overnight delivery services in the
United States and are integrated with the logistics operations of these
overnight delivery service providers and participate in joint marketing programs
to customers of these overnight delivery service providers. The Company believes
that the location of its repair facilities at the Overnight Delivery Hubs is a
significant competitive advantage for the Company's repair and warranty service
offerings and a majority of the Company's repair and warranty service customers
come from joint marketing efforts with such transportation providers. The
Company does not, however, have any long-term contracts or other arrangements
with these overnight delivery service providers, each of which could elect to
cancel the Company's lease, to cease providing scheduling accommodations or to
cease joint marketing efforts with the Company at any time. If the Company
ceased to be allowed to share facilities and marketing arrangements with either
or both of these overnight delivery service providers, there can be no assurance
that alternate arrangements could be made by the Company to preserve such
advantages and the Company could lose significant numbers of repair customers.
In addition, work stoppages or other disruptions in the transportation network
may occur from time to time which may affect these transportation providers.
Such events could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and
results of operations.
 
ABSENCE OF LONG-TERM MANUFACTURING CONTRACTS
 
     As is typical in the electronic manufacturing services industry, the
Company frequently does not obtain long-term purchase orders or commitments from
its customers, but instead works with them to develop nonbinding forecasts of
the future volume of orders. Based on such nonbinding forecasts, the Company
makes commitments regarding the level of business that it will seek and accept,
the timing of production schedules and the levels and utilization of personnel
and other resources. A variety of conditions, both specific to each individual
customer and generally affecting each customer's industry, may cause customers
to cancel, reduce or delay orders that were either previously made or
anticipated. Generally, customers may cancel, reduce or delay purchase orders
and commitments without penalty, except, in some cases, for payment for services
rendered, materials purchased and, in limited circumstances, charges associated
with such cancellation, reduction or delay. Significant or numerous
cancellations, reductions or delays in orders by customers would have a material
adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of
operations.
 
IMPLEMENTATION OF NEW INFORMATION SYSTEM
 
     The Company is implementing a new management information system (the "MIS
System"), based on commercially available Oracle software products, that is
designed to track and control all aspects of its manufacturing services. Among
other things, the implementation of the MIS System includes the conversion of
the Company's Automated Execution System ("AES"), which is a customized software
package designed to meet the needs of the Company's "Asynchronous Processing
Manufacturing"
 
                                       10
<PAGE>   12
 
("APM") process, into software compatible with the MIS System. The Company
currently expects to complete the implementation of the MIS System by December
1997 at the Company's Rocky Mountain facility. Thereafter, the Company intends
to implement the MIS System at its other facilities as soon as practicable.
There can be no assurance, however, that the MIS System can be properly
installed at the Rocky Mountain facility or any other facility of the Company.
Furthermore, there can be no assurance that, if installed, the MIS System will
operate as designed or provide the Company's operations any additional
efficiency. If the MIS System fails to operate as designed, the Company's
operations could be disrupted by lost orders resulting in lost customers or by
inventory shortfalls and overages and the Company could be compelled to
write-off the development costs of such software. Such disruptions or events
could adversely affect results of operations and the implementation of the
Company's strategy. See "Business and Properties -- Strategy" and "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."
 
PROTECTION OF KNOW-HOW AND TRADE SECRETS
 
     APM and the supporting AES software represent and, are expected to continue
to represent, a critical part of the Company's high-mix manufacturing strategy.
The use, by third parties, of the concepts or processes, developed by the
Company, that comprise APM is not legally restricted. In addition, the Company
has a non-exclusive license to use the AES software that, in conjunction with
other commercially available software programs and databases, coordinates the
APM process. The APM process is therefore subject to replication by a competitor
willing to invest the resources to do so and the AES software is therefore
available from third parties having rights thereto. To protect its know-how and
processes related to APM, the Company primarily relies upon a combination of
nondisclosure agreements and other contractual provisions, as well as the
confidentiality and loyalty of its employees. However, there can be no assurance
that these steps will be adequate to prevent a competitor from replicating the
APM process or that a competitor will not independently develop know-how or
processes similar or superior to the Company's APM process. The adoption by its
competitors of a process that is similar to, or superior to, the Company's APM
process would likely result in a material increase in competition faced by the
Company for its targeted market of high-mix OEMs.
 
DEVELOPMENT OF PLAN FOR BUILD-TO-ORDER
 
     The Company's strategy includes the development of a business plan to
integrate its existing and newly-acquired businesses in order to offer BTO
services, oriented around a hub-based distribution system, to its customers.
This plan represents an expansion into a new line of business with which the
Company has no operating experience and will require capital expenditures,
certain operational changes and integration of the AES software throughout all
of the Company's facilities. There can be no assurance that the Company will
successfully implement this plan or market these services and the failure to do
so could change the Company's business and growth strategies and adversely
affect the Company's long-term business prospects. See "Business and
Properties -- Strategy" and "Business and Properties -- Services."
 
VARIABILITY OF QUARTERLY RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
     The Company's quarterly results of operations are affected by several
factors, primarily the level and timing of customer orders and the mix of
turnkey and consignment orders. The level and timing of orders placed by a
customer vary due to the customer's attempts to balance its inventory, changes
in the customer's manufacturing strategy and variation in demand for its
products due to, among other things, product life cycles, competitive conditions
and general economic conditions. In the past, changes in orders from customers
have had a significant effect on the Company's quarterly results of operations.
Other factors affecting the Company's quarterly results of operations may
include, among other things, the Company's success in integrating the businesses
of the CTI Companies and the CE Companies and the operations acquired in the
AlliedSignal Asset Purchase, costs relating to the expansion of operations
including development of the Company's plan to develop a BTO business, price
competition, the
 
                                       11
<PAGE>   13
 
Company's level of experience in manufacturing a particular product, the degree
of automation used in the assembly process, the efficiencies achieved by the
Company in managing inventories and other assets, the timing of expenditures in
anticipation of increased sales and fluctuations in the cost of components or
labor. Any of these factors could adversely affect the Company's quarterly
results of operations. See "-- Acquisition Strategy," "-- Uncertainties Relating
to the Integration of the CTI Companies" and "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."
 
COMPETITION
 
     Contract Manufacturing. Competition in the electronic manufacturing
services industry is intense. The Company competes against numerous domestic and
foreign manufacturers, including SCI Systems, Inc., Solectron Corporation,
Benchmark Electronics, Inc., DII Group, Inc., Plexus Corp., Reptron Electronics,
Inc., and others, many of which are substantially larger or have greater
financial or operating resources than the Company. Many of the Company's
competitors are more established in the industry and have substantially greater
manufacturing, financial, engineering and marketing resources than the Company.
The Company also faces competition from the manufacturing operations of its
current and potential customers, which are continually evaluating the relative
merits of internal manufacturing versus outsourcing. Certain of the Company's
competitors have broader geographic breadth than the Company. In addition,
several contract manufacturers have established manufacturing facilities in
foreign countries. The Company believes that foreign manufacturing facilities
are more important for contract manufacturers that focus on high-volume consumer
electronic products, and do not afford a significant competitive advantage in
the Company's targeted market for complex, mid-volume products for which greater
flexibility in specifications and lead times is required. The Company believes
that the principal competitive factors in its targeted market are quality,
reliability, ability to meet delivery schedules, technological sophistication,
geographic location and price.
 
     Repair and Warranty Services. The Company also has a number of competitors
in the repair and warranty services industry, including Cerplex Group, Inc.,
Aurora Electronics, Inc., Logistics Management, Inc., Sequel, Inc., Data
Exchange Corp., DecisionOne Holdings Corp., and others. In addition, the Company
competes with certain OEMs that provide repair and warranty services for their
own products. Some of the Company's competitors in the repair and warranty
services industry are more established in the industry and have substantially
greater financial, engineering and marketing resources than the Company. The
Company believes that its location within the Overnight Delivery Hubs gives it a
significant competitive advantage. However, a competitor can, and in some cases
has, gained similar advantages by locating a repair facility in close proximity
to the Overnight Delivery Hubs. The Company also faces competition from its
current and potential customers, which are continually evaluating the relative
merits of providing repair and warranty services internally versus outsourcing.
The Company believes that the principal competitive factors in its targeted
repair and warranty services market are quality, reliability, ability to meet
delivery schedules and price.
 
TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE
 
     The electronic manufacturing services industry is characterized by rapidly
changing technology. The Company believes that its future success will depend on
its ability to keep pace with technological changes in order to meet customer
needs. The Company could be required to make substantial capital expenditures to
acquire equipment embodying any new technology necessary to serve the needs of
its customers. See "Business and Properties -- Industry Overview," "Business and
Properties -- Strategy" and "Business and Properties -- Services."
 
INVENTORY RISK; LIMITED AVAILABILITY OF COMPONENTS AND MANUFACTURING EQUIPMENT
 
     In the first nine months of 1997, substantially all of the Company's net
sales were derived from turnkey sales. In turnkey manufacturing, the Company
provides materials as well as manufacturing
 
                                       12
<PAGE>   14
 
services and often bears the risk of fluctuations in materials costs, scrap and
excess inventory, which could adversely affect the Company's gross profit
margins. In addition, some materials used by the Company have been subject to
industry-wide shortages and suppliers have been forced to allocate available
quantities among their customers. In addition, work stoppages or other
disruptions in transportation services may occur from time to time which may
affect availability of materials. The Company's inability to obtain any needed
materials during periods of allocations, work stoppages or disruptions in
transportation services could cause delays in shipments to the Company's
customers, and could also adversely affect results of operations.
 
     Significant lead times also are involved in acquiring certain equipment
used in the Company's manufacturing process. Although the Company has increased
its manufacturing capacity in response to the expansion of its customer base,
there can be no assurance that the Company will have sufficient capacity at any
given time to meet its customers' demands if such demands exceed anticipated
levels.
 
ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE
 
     The Company's operations and properties are subject to certain federal,
state and local regulatory requirements relating to environmental, waste
management, health and safety matters. Some risk of costs and liabilities
related to these matters is inherent in the Company's business, as with many
other businesses. In the event of violation, these regulations provide for civil
and criminal fines, injunctions and other sanctions and, in certain instances,
allow third parties to sue to enforce compliance. In addition, new, modified or
more stringent requirements or enforcement policies could be adopted that may
adversely affect the Company. In certain cases, the Company could be liable for
environmental clean-up and other costs resulting from actions of others
occurring on or near the Company's properties or, even if not liable, the
Company could find itself forced to defend against assertions of potential
liability for the actions of others. There can be no assurance that material
costs and liabilities will not be incurred in complying with those regulations
or in defending against any such liability, or that past or future operations
will not result in exposure to injury or claims of injury by employees or the
public.
 
CONCENTRATION OF OWNERSHIP
 
     Upon completion of this offering and including shares issuable upon
exercise of vested options, the officers and directors of the Company will
continue to own (assuming the exercise of all currently vested options held by
them) approximately 48.0% of the Company's Common Stock then outstanding.
Consequently, the officers and directors will continue to be able to exercise
substantial control over the election of the Company's directors, the outcome of
corporate actions requiring shareholder approval, the business and affairs of
the Company and future direction of the Company. The concentration of the
ownership of the Common Stock among the Company's directors is likely to delay
or prevent a change of control of the Company without the consent of such
directors. See "Principal Shareholders" and "Selling Shareholders."
 
SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALES
 
     Sales of a substantial number of shares of Common Stock in the public
market after this offering could adversely affect the market price of the Common
Stock. Without consideration of the contractual rights and prohibitions
described below, there is also a substantial number of shares of Common Stock
that are eligible for sale in public markets pursuant to Rule 144 under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or will become so
eligible, in the near future. In addition, substantial numbers of shares of
Common Stock are issuable upon exercise of outstanding options issued by the
Company and the Company has registered, under the Securities Act, the resale of
1,155,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of options granted to
employees under the Company's 1989 Stock Option Plan, 1993 Incentive Stock
Option Plan, Equity Incentive Plan and Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee
Directors (collectively, the "Stock Option Plans"). Shortly after completion of
the offering made hereby, the Company intends to file a registration statement
on Form S-8 to register under the Securities Act the resale of an additional
1,140,000 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under
 
                                       13
<PAGE>   15
 
the Stock Option Plans. Moreover, certain of the Company's shareholders have
certain contractual rights to cause the Company to register their shares for
resale or to require the inclusion of their shares in registration statements
otherwise filed by the Company.
 
     The Company, the Company's directors and executive officers and the Selling
Shareholders have agreed with the Underwriters not to make certain sales or
dispositions of shares of Common Stock or securities convertible or exercisable
for Common Stock for a period of 180 days (and in some cases 360 days) after the
date of this Prospectus without the prior written consent of Salomon Brothers
Inc. Salomon Brothers Inc may, in its sole discretion at anytime without notice,
consent to an early termination of such agreements. See "Shares Eligible for
Future Sales."
 
VOLATILITY RISK FACTOR
 
     The Company's Common Stock has experienced significant price volatility
historically, and such volatility may continue to occur in the future. Factors
such as announcements of large customer orders, order cancellations, new product
introductions by the Company or competitors or general conditions in the
electronics industry, as well as variations in the Company's actual or
anticipated results of operations, may cause the market price of the Company's
Common Stock to fluctuate significantly. Furthermore, the stock market has
experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations in recent years, often for
reasons unrelated to the operating performance of the specific companies. These
broad market fluctuations may materially adversely affect the price of the
Company's Common Stock. There can be no assurance that the market price of the
Company's Common Stock will not experience significant fluctuations in the
future, including fluctuations that are unrelated to the Company's performance.
 
ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS
 
     Several provisions of the Company's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws
could deter or delay unsolicited takeovers or delay or prevent changes in
control or management of the Company, including transactions in which
shareholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over then
current market prices. In addition, such provisions could limit the ability of
shareholders to approve transactions that they may deem to be in their best
interests. See "Description of Capital Stock and Other Securities."

                                USE OF PROCEEDS
 
     The net proceeds to the Company from the sale of the shares of Common Stock
being offered hereby, after deducting underwriting discounts and estimated
offering expenses, are estimated to be approximately $52.1 million ($53.6
million if the Underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full)
assuming a public offering price of $16.00 (the last reported sales price of the
Common Stock on the Nasdaq National Market on October 20, 1997). Such proceeds
will be used by the Company as follows: (i) to make a $6.0 million contingent
payment to the previous owners of certain of the CTI Companies that becomes due
upon completion of the offering made hereby; (ii) to retire a term loan of
approximately $20 million; (iii) to pay down the Company's revolving credit
facility, which as of September 30, 1997, had outstanding borrowings of
approximately $22.5 million; and (iv) to pay a portion of the outstanding
subordinated notes in the principal amount of $15 million (the "Subordinated
Notes") held by Richard L. Monfort. The term loan and the revolving loan
(collectively, the "Bank One Loan") were incurred pursuant to a Credit
Agreement, dated as of September 30, 1997, among the Company and Bank One,
Colorado, N.A. ("Bank One") and the Subordinated Notes were issued and sold
pursuant to a Note Agreement, dated as of September 5, 1997 between the Company
and Richard L. Monfort. Both the Bank One Loan and the Subordinated Notes were
incurred in connection with the CTI Merger and the AlliedSignal Asset Purchase.
See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations -- Liquidity and Capital Resources," for a description of the terms,
including interest rates, of the Bank One Loan and the Subordinated Notes.

                                DIVIDEND POLICY
 
     The Company does not intend to pay cash dividends on the Common Stock in
the foreseeable future. The Company instead intends to retain its earnings for
use in the operation and expansion of its business. Any future cash dividends
would depend on future earnings, capital requirements, the Company's financial
condition and other factors deemed relevant by the Board of Directors. Under the
terms of the Bank One Loan, the Company may not pay dividends without the
consent of Bank One. See the description of the Bank One Loan in "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations -- Liquidity and Capital Resources."

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
     The information set forth below contains "forward looking statements"
within the meaning of the PSLRA. Such statements are subject to risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
expressed in the statements. See "Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking
Statements."
 
THE COMPANY
 
  GENERAL
 
     The Company is a leading independent provider of high-mix electronic
manufacturing services to OEMs in the aerospace and avionics, medical,
communications, industrial instruments and controls and computer-related
products industries. The Company's manufacturing services consist of assembling
complex printed circuit boards, cables, electro-mechanical devices and finished
products. The CTI Companies provide repair and warranty services to OEMs in the
communications and computer industries.
 
     The Company's quarterly results of operations are affected by several
factors, primarily the level and timing of customer orders and the mix of
turnkey and consignment orders. The level and timing of orders placed by a
customer vary due to the customer's attempts to balance its inventory, changes
in the customer's manufacturing strategy and variation in demand for its
products due to, among other things, product life cycles, competitive conditions
and general economic conditions. In the past, changes in orders from customers
have had a significant effect on the Company's quarterly results of operations.
Other factors affecting the Company's quarterly results of operations may
include, among other things, the Company's success in integrating the businesses
of the CTI Companies and the CE Companies and the operations acquired in the
AlliedSignal Asset Purchase, costs relating to the expansion of operations
including development of the Company's plan to develop a BTO business, price
competition, the Company's level of experience in manufacturing a particular
product, the degree of automation used in the assembly process, the efficiencies
achieved by the Company in managing inventories and other assets, the timing of
expenditures in anticipation of increased sales and fluctuations in the cost of
components or labor.
 
     In the third quarter of 1996, the Company introduced Asynchronous Process
Manufacturing, a new manufacturing methodology, at its Rocky Mountain facility.
APM is an innovative combination of high-speed manufacturing equipment,
sophisticated information systems and standardized process teams designed to
manufacture mixtures of small quantities of products more flexibly and faster.
APM allows for the building of small lots in very short cycle times and
increases throughput by decreasing setup time, standardizing work centers and
processing smaller lot sizes. The Company has done this by designating teams to
set up off-line feeders and standardizing loading methods regardless of product
complexity. APM has allowed the Company to increase productivity by producing
product with fewer people which ultimately reduces costs and increases gross
profit. The Company completed implementing APM at its Rocky Mountain facility in
October 1996 and has begun implementing APM at its existing Newberg, Oregon
facility, but will not complete that implementation until after its new
manufacturing facility under construction in Newberg, Oregon is completed. The
Company also plans to implement APM at its other facilities, at appropriate
times.
 
  RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
 
     During the first nine months of 1997, the Company has completed the CE
Merger, the AlliedSignal Asset Purchase and the CTI Merger, all of which have
effected the Company's results of operations and financial condition in 1997.
 
     CE Merger. On February 24, 1997, the Company acquired two companies, CEI
and its affiliate CEWI, for approximately $10.9 million consisting of 1,980,000
shares of Common Stock and approximately
 
                                       19
<PAGE>   21
 
$5.5 million in cash, which included approximately $0.6 million of transaction
costs. The Company recorded goodwill of approximately $8.0 million, which will
be amortized over 30 years. The combined revenues for the CE Companies for the
fiscal year ended September 30, 1996 was approximately $32.5 million. In
connection with this transaction, the Company renegotiated its line of credit
and obtained a 90-day bridge loan in the amount of $4.9 million (which was
subsequently repaid), the proceeds from which were used to pay the cash
consideration related to the CE Merger, as discussed above. See "-- Liquidity
and Capital Resources."
 
     AlliedSignal Asset Purchase. In August and September 1997, the Company
completed the initial elements of two transactions with AlliedSignal pursuant to
which the Company acquired certain inventory and equipment located in Ft.
Lauderdale, Florida, subleased the portion of AlliedSignal's facility where such
inventory and equipment was located and employed certain persons formerly
employed by AlliedSignal at that location. The Company also hired certain
persons formerly employed by AlliedSignal in Tucson, Arizona and agreed with
AlliedSignal to provide the personnel and management services necessary to
operate a related facility on behalf of AlliedSignal on a temporary basis.
Subject to the satisfaction of the requirements of the Hart-Scott-Rodino
Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, the Company has agreed to acquire
AlliedSignal's inventory and equipment located at AlliedSignal's Tucson, Arizona
facility. The Company has agreed to purchase from a third party a production
facility in Tucson, Arizona that is currently being renovated. Upon completion
of such renovations (expected for the first quarter of 1998), the Company will
move that inventory and equipment and related employees to its own facility and
will begin its own production there. The aggregate purchase price of all the
assets to be acquired by the Company from AlliedSignal is expected to
approximate $15 million, of which $10.9 million had been paid through September
30, 1997. The Florida facility is currently used, and the Arizona facility will
initially be used, to produce electronic assemblies for AlliedSignal. The
Company is also seeking to use the Florida and Arizona facilities to provide
services for customers other than AlliedSignal. The Company has agreed to pay
AlliedSignal one percent of gross revenue for all electronic assemblies and
parts made for a customer other than AlliedSignal at the Arizona or Florida
facilities through December 31, 2001.
 
     CTI Merger. On September 30, 1997, the Company acquired the CTI Companies
for approximately $29.3 million in cash and debt assumption, 1,858,975 shares of
the Company's Common Stock and a $6 million contingent payment payable upon
closing of this offering. The Company recorded goodwill of approximately $32.4
million, which will be amortized over 30 years. In connection with this
acquisition, the Company entered into the Bank One Loan and issued the
Subordinated Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $15 million. See
"-- Liquidity and Capital Resources."
 
     In many respects, the CTI Companies and the Company are financially and
operationally complementary businesses. This tends to give management at the CTI
Companies more alternatives when making decisions that affect profit margins and
overall operations. The CTI Companies have historically turned receivables at a
slower rate and inventories at approximately the same rate as the Company. In
1996, the CTI Companies turned receivables at an approximate rate of 57 days or
6 times a year and turned inventories every 79 days or approximately 5 times a
year. In 1996, the Company turned receivables at an approximate rate of 25 days
or approximately 14 times a year and turned inventories every 62 days or
approximately 6 times a year. The Company, after the CTI Merger, expects its
receivables and inventory to turn over at a slower rate due to the inclusion of
the CTI Companies.
 
     The Company is involved in the front end of many OEMs' new-product
introductions and is subject to production fluctuations relating to the OEMs'
product demands. The CTI Companies' repair and warranty service is dependent on
the size of the products installed base. Thus, the Company's production of a
particular product is related to overall product life cycle and length of demand
for such product. The CTI Companies' repair and warranty service is dependent on
the size of the installed base and extent of use of such product.
 
     Historically, the CTI Companies have generated gross profit percentages of
approximately 30%. This is significantly higher than the Company's historic
gross profit percentages which have ranged from
 
                                       20
<PAGE>   22
 
approximately 5% to 10% from 1994 to 1996. This is due to the high value-added
content of the CTI Companies' operations. The Company expects the overall impact
of combining operations of the CTI Companies with the Company to be higher
overall gross, operational and net profit percentages due to the CTI Companies'
overall higher profitability levels as a percentage of sales. This is based on
historic results, and there is no guarantee that these trends will continue.

</TABLE>
 
     Nine Months Ended September 30, 1997 Compared to Nine Months Ended
September 30, 1996
 
     Net Sales. The Company's net sales increased by 45.8% to $65.0 million
during the first nine months of 1997, from $44.6 million for the first nine
months of 1996. The increase in net sales is due primarily to the inclusion of
the operations from the CE Companies, acquired on February 24, 1997, the
inclusion of the operations of the Company's Fort Lauderdale facility, acquired
from AlliedSignal on August 11, 1997, and increased orders from existing
customers.
 
     Gross Profit. Gross profit increased by 333.3% to $8.2 million during the
first nine months of 1997, from $1.9 million during the first nine months of
1996. The gross profit margin for the first nine months of 1997 was 12.7%
compared to 4.3% for the first nine months of 1996. The increase in gross profit
percentage is related to (i) the operations of the CE Companies, which have
historically had a higher gross profit percentage and (ii) the adoption of APM
in the later part of 1996 in the Rocky Mountain facility which has resulted in
greater operating efficiencies. In addition, as revenues have increased, fixed
overhead costs such as labor costs and depreciation have been absorbed in cost
of goods resulting in higher margins. Finally, the Company incurred a
restructuring charge in cost of goods of $0.5 million in the third quarter of
fiscal 1996, primarily related to severance pay and the write-off of inventory
associated with the restructuring of the Company's customer base, which
accentuated the difference in gross profit between the first nine months of 1996
and 1997.
 
     Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and
administrative ("SGA") expenses increased by 50.6% to $5.1 million for the first
nine months of 1997 compared with $3.4 million for the same period for the first
nine months of 1996. As a percentage of net sales, SGA expense increased to 7.9%
in the first nine months of 1997 from 7.7% in the same period of 1996. The
Company incurred a restructuring charge of $0.9 million in the third quarter of
1996, primarily from severance pay for terminated employees at the Rocky
Mountain facility. Without the restructuring charge, SGA expense for the first
nine months of 1996 would have been 5.6% of sales. The increase in SGA expenses
is primarily
 
                                       21
<PAGE>   23
 
due to the inclusion of the CE Companies' SGA expenses, SGA expenses related to
the Company's Fort Lauderdale, Florida facility, and increased investment in
information technology and marketing.
 
     Impairment of Fixed Assets.  During the third quarter of 1996, the Company
incurred a write down associated with impaired assets in the amount of $725,869.
See "-- 1996 Compared to 1995 -- Impairment of Fixed Assets."
 
     Operating Income. Operating income increased to $3.0 million for the first
nine months of 1997 from a loss of $2.2 million for the first nine months of
1996. Operating income as a percentage of net sales increased to 4.5% in the
first nine months of 1997 from negative 5.0% in the same period of 1996. The
increase in operating income is attributable to the CE Merger, increased
efficiencies associated with APM, and the acquisition and operation of the Fort
Lauderdale, Florida facility. Without the $2.1 million write down in the third
quarter of 1996, the nine-month 1996 operating loss would have been $0.1
million, and the operating profit margin would have been approximately
breakeven.
 
     Interest Expense. Interest expense was $1.1 million for the first nine
months of 1997 as compared to $0.4 million for the same period in 1996. The
increase in interest is primarily the result of the incurrence of debt
associated with the CE Merger and the AlliedSignal Asset Purchase in Arizona and
Florida, and increased operating debt used to finance both inventories and
receivables for the Company in the first nine months of fiscal 1997.
 
     Income Tax Expense. The effective income tax rate for the first nine months
of fiscal 1997 was 36.5% compared to 35.4% from the same period a year earlier.
This percentage can fluctuate because relatively small dollar amounts tend to
move the rate significantly as estimates change. The Company expects that the
rate will be higher in the upcoming quarters. This higher anticipated effective
tax rate is due to the impact of the nondeductible goodwill component of the CTI
Merger and CE Merger.
 
     1996 Compared to 1995
 
     Net Sales. Net sales in 1996 increased 15.6% to $56.9 million from $49.2
million in 1995. The increase in net sales is due primarily to increased
material sales associated with a box-build project for one customer. The top ten
customers in 1996 accounted for 77.6% of total sales volume, as compared to
80.4% in 1995.
 
     Gross Profit. Gross profit in 1996 decreased 25.5% from 1995 to $2.9
million. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales for 1996 was 5.1% compared to
7.9% in 1995. One reason for the decline in gross profit is related to
restructuring charges of $0.5 million that were included in cost of goods sold
in the third quarter of 1996. Without the restructuring, gross profit would have
been $3.4 million or 5.9% of net sales. These restructuring charges were
severance expenses related to a decrease in workforce, write down of inventory
related to changes in the Company's customer mix, and expenses related to the
reorganization of the manufacturing floor and manufacturing process in
connection with the implementation of APM.
 
     Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. SGA expense for 1996
increased by 35.6% over 1995 to $4.2 million. The increase is due to
restructuring charges for severance expenses related to reduction in workforce
and other expenses related to organizational changes in the amount of $0.9
million in the third quarter of 1996. Excluding the restructuring charges, the
SGA expense would have been $3.3 million which is an increase of $179,980 or
5.8% over 1995. This increase was due primarily to increased sales commissions
and related expenses associated with the sales growth from 1995 to 1996 levels
as noted above. As a percentage of net sales, SGA expense increased to 7.4% in
1996 from 6.3% in 1995. Without the restructuring changes, SGA expenses would
have been 5.8% of net sales for the year ended 1996.
 
     Impairment of Fixed Assets.  During the third quarter of 1996, the Company
incurred a write down associated with impaired assets in the amount of $0.7
million. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 "Accounting for the
impairment of long-lived assets and for long-lived assets to be disposed of,"
requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be held
and used by
 
                                       22
<PAGE>   24
 
an entity be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Long-lived
assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be disposed of should be reported
at the lower of carrying amount of fair value less cost to sell. The Company
went through a corporate restructuring in the third quarter of 1996 which
included a workforce reduction and the implementation of APM which resulted in
certain assets no longer being used in operations. Certain software that will no
longer be used, as well as excess equipment that was sold, were written down to
fair value in accordance with Statement No. 121.
 
     Operating Income. Operating income in 1996 decreased 352.3% to a loss of
$2.0 million from income of $801,321 in 1995. Operating income as a percent of
sales decreased to negative 3.6% in 1996 from 1.6% in 1995. The decrease in
operating income was primarily attributable to the restructuring charges and
impairment of fixed assets noted above in the amount of $2.1 million. Excluding
the restructuring charges, the Company would have had operating income of $0.1
million or 0.2% of net sales for 1996. The decrease, excluding the restructuring
charges, was related to product mix changes and related overhead expenses to put
new programs in place as well as increased variable selling costs associated
with higher sales volumes in the first two quarters of 1996.
 
     Interest Expense. Interest expense in 1996 increased 31.7% from 1995 to
$0.5 million. Borrowing due to increases in inventory and accounts receivable
levels is the primary reason for the increase in interest expense.
 
     Income Tax Expense. The Company's effective income tax rate for 1996 was
35.4% compared to 26.3% for 1995. Tax expense for 1995 was lower due to certain
research expenditures incurred in 1992, 1993, 1994 and 1995 for which the
Company claimed federal tax credits. The Company's Rocky Mountain facility is
also located in a State of Colorado enterprise zone. The Company receives state
tax credits for capital expenditures and increases in the number of Company
employees but, as sales increase, these state tax credits will have a relatively
smaller effect on the Company's effective income tax rate.
 
     1995 Compared to 1994
 
     Net Sales. Net sales in 1995 decreased 6.3% to $49.2 million from $52.5
million in 1994. In 1995, revenues generated from sales to three of the
Company's largest customers decreased by approximately $13.5 million when
compared to 1994 levels. One customer moved into a larger facility and decided
to decrease its outsourced manufacturing requirements. The decrease in orders
from the other two customers was due to the Company's inability to be
competitive on material pricing because of the Company's inability to take
advantage of volume buying. In 1994, these three customers accounted for
approximately $23.6 million of revenues compared to approximately $10 million in
1995. The top ten customers in 1995 accounted for 80.4% of total sales volume,
as compared to 91.3% in 1994. The Company replaced a significant portion of the
lost revenues attributable to the decrease in orders with new sources of revenue
during 1995.
 
     Gross Profit. Gross profit in 1995 decreased 28.1% from 1994 to $3.9
million. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales for 1995 was 7.9%, compared
to 10.3% in 1994. These decreases are attributable to several factors. First,
the overall number of different assemblies ordered annually by customers
increased by 200 assemblies from 703 assemblies at December 31, 1994 to 903
assemblies at December 31, 1995. At December 31, 1993, the Company had
approximately 619 assemblies. The increase in the number of assemblies resulted
in a decrease in efficiency manifested in increased costs related to the
start-up of manufacturing of such new assemblies and other costs. Such start-up
costs primarily consisted of increased labor costs due to difficulties in
scheduling large numbers of assemblies, including costs for new personnel,
training, overtime and increased rework costs. The Company also experienced
increases in other manufacturing costs, including increased costs of production
planning, documentation, engineering and scrap costs. Second, the Company made
investments in equipment and facilities at the end of 1994 and the beginning of
1995. Due to such investments, depreciation expense increased by $0.7 million to
$1.7 million in 1995 from $1.0 million in 1994. Third, during 1995, periodic
material shortages created upward pressure on material prices and affected
manufacturing schedules which had a negative impact on gross margins.
 
                                       23
<PAGE>   25
 
     Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. SGA expense for 1995
increased by 29.2% over 1994 to $3.1 million. The increase is primarily the
result of non-recurring costs related to corporate re-structuring in the third
quarter, consulting fees related to corporate reengineering processes, increased
selling expenses related to a new sales office in Texas and a new sales
representative in California, and increased administrative expenses related to
being a publicly-held company. As a percentage of net sales, SGA expense
increased to 6.3% in 1995 from 4.6% in 1994.
 
     Operating Income. As a result of the factors described above, operating
income in 1995 decreased 73.5% in 1994 to $0.8 million. Operating income as a
percentage of net sales decreased from 5.7% in 1994 to 1.6% in 1995.
 
     Interest Expense. Interest expense in 1995 increased 127.7% from 1994 to
$399,389. The increase was attributable the Company's use of bank debt to fund
increases in inventory growth and accounts receivable which were related to the
previously mentioned change in product mix. Also, the Company acquired
approximately $2.5 million in property and equipment in 1995, which was financed
with short term debt. As discussed below under "Liquidity and Capital
Resources," the Company received cash from a sale-leaseback transaction in
December 1995 of $3.7 million. In addition, the Company retired approximately
$3.3 million of short-term debt, in December 1995.
 
     Income Tax Expense. The Company's effective income tax rate for 1995 was
26.3% compared to 35.2% for 1994. The decrease in the effective tax rate is
primarily attributable to certain research expenditures incurred in 1992, 1993,
1994 and 1995 for which the Company will claim federal tax credits. Also, the
Company's facilities are located in a state enterprise zone. The Company
receives state tax credits for capital expenditures and increases in the number
of Company employees. As sales and earnings increase, these state tax credits
will have a relatively smaller effect on the Company's effective income tax
rate.
 
  LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
     At September 30, 1997, working capital totaled $411,296. Working capital at
December 31, 1996 was $8.5 million compared to $9.9 million at December 31, 1995
and $6.7 million at December 31, 1994. The increase in working capital from 1994
to 1995 is attributable primarily to a sale-leaseback transaction which closed
in December 1995. The Company sold equipment at a sales price of $3.7 million
and retired short-term debt in the amount of $3.3 million in December 1995. The
subsequent decrease in working capital in 1996 is attributable primarily to the
purchase of fixed assets and long-term debt retirement. The decrease in working
capital in the first nine months of 1997 is attributable to the increased
borrowings under the Company's line of credit associated with the CTI Merger.
 
     Cash used in operations for the first nine months of 1997 was $12.3 million
compared to $0.5 million in the same period last year. Cash provided by
operations in 1996 was $35,667 compared to cash used in operations of $0.9
million in 1995 and $0.7 million in 1994. The AlliedSignal Asset Purchase in
Florida and Arizona and the CTI Merger resulted in a significant use of funds,
particularly in the purchase of inventory and equipment in the third quarter of
1997. The increase in cash used in operations in 1995 is attributable primarily
to increases in accounts receivable and inventories. Accounts receivable
increased 434.9% to $18.3 million at September 30, 1997 from $3.4 million at
September 30, 1996. Accounts receivable decreased 22.4% to $3.9 million at
December 31,1996 from $5.0 million at December 31, 1995, and increased 29.1% at
December 31, 1995 from $3.9 million at December 31, 1994. A comparison of
receivable turns (i.e., annualized sales divided by current accounts receivable)
for the first nine months of 1997 and the first nine months of 1996 is 4.7 and
17.4 turns, respectively. The 1997 receivable turn is distorted because the
sales for the first quarter of 1997 includes only one month and four days of the
CE Companies' revenues. The balance sheet of the Company as of September 30,
1997, includes the consolidation of the CTI Companies and the AlliedSignal Asset
Purchase, but there has been no corresponding revenue recognition from the CTI
Merger and only one month and 20 days of the revenues from the operations in
Fort Lauderdale, Florida and Tucson, Arizona. Receivable turns for 1996, 1995
and 1994 were 14.7, 9.9 and 13.6, respectively. Inventories increased 258.1% to
$32.8 million at
 
                                       24
<PAGE>   26
 
September 30, 1997 from $10.1 million at September 30, 1996. Inventories
decreased 7.2% to $9.1 million on December 31, 1996 from $9.9 million on
December 31, 1995 and increased 31.8% on December 31, 1995 from $7.5 million on
December 31, 1994. A comparison of inventory turns (i.e., annualized cost of
sales divided by current inventory) for the first nine months of fiscal 1997 and
1996 shows a decrease to 2.3 from 5.6, respectively. The 1997 inventory turns
are distorted because the cost of sales for the first quarter includes only one
month and four days of the CE Companies' costs. Also the 1997 third quarter
ending balance sheet includes the consolidation of the CTI Companies and the
AlliedSignal Asset Purchase, but there has been no corresponding revenue
recognition from the CTI Companies and only one month and 20 days of costs of
running the Fort Lauderdale, Florida and Tuscon, Arizona operations. Inventory
turns for 1996, 1995 and 1994 were 5.9, 4.6 and 6.3, respectively. Inventory
increases in the early stages of new turnkey business may create delays and
decrease the turning of inventory until the new assemblies are in full
production.
 
     The Company used cash to purchase capital equipment totaling $6.4 million
in the first nine months of 1997, compared with $2.1 million in the same period
last year. The Company also used cash to purchase the CE Companies and CTI
Companies, as explained earlier, in the amount of $24.6 million. Proceeds from
long-term borrowings of $35.0 million were used to help fund the purchase of the
CE Companies and CTI Companies. The Company used cash from investing activities
of $2.0 million in 1996, compared to providing cash of $1.3 million in 1995 and
using cash of $9.0 million in 1994. The Company used cash to purchase capital
equipment totaling $2.4 million in 1996, compared with $2.5 million in 1995. In
1995, the Company received cash from the sale of equipment primarily from the
sale-leaseback transaction mentioned above of $3.7 million. In 1994, capital
equipment consisting primarily of manufacturing and computer equipment in the
amount of $5.3 million was purchased. In addition, $3.7 million was spent for
the construction of a new manufacturing facility and the purchase of an
additional parcel of land to allow for future expansion. The capital equipment
was purchased with proceeds from the Company's initial public offering in 1994.
 
     In connection with the CTI Merger and the AlliedSignal Asset Purchase, the
Company entered into the Bank One Loan comprised of a $25 million revolving line
of credit, maturing on September 30, 2000 and a $20 million term loan maturing
on September 30, 2002. The proceeds of the Bank One Loan were used for (i)
funding the CTI Merger and (ii) repayment of the then-existing Bank One line of
credit, bridge facility and equipment loan. The Bank One Loan bears interest at
a rate based on either the LIBOR or Bank One prime rate plus applicable margins
ranging from 3.25% to 0.50% for the term facility and 2.75% to 0.00% for the
revolving facility. Borrowings on the revolving facility are subject to
limitation based on the value of the available collateral. The Bank One Loan is
collateralized by substantially all of the Company's assets, including real
estate and all of the outstanding capital stock and memberships of the Company's
subsidiaries, whether now owned or later acquired. The agreement for the Bank
One Loan contains covenants restricting liens, capital expenditures,
investments, borrowings, payment of dividends, mergers and acquisitions and sale
of assets. In addition, the loan agreement contains financial covenants
restricting maximum annual capital expenditures, recapturing excess cash flow
and requiring maintenance of the following ratios: (i) maximum senior debt to
EBITDA (as defined in the agreement for the Bank One Loan); (ii) maximum total
debt to EBITDA; (iii) minimum fixed charge coverage; (iv) minimum EBITDA to
interest; and (v) minimum tangible net worth requirement with periodic step-up.
As of September 30, 1997, the borrowing availability under the Bank One Loan was
approximately $2.5 million.
 
     In addition to the Bank One Loan, the Company has issued the Subordinated
Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $15 million, with a maturity date of
December 31, 2002 and bearing a rate of the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate,
adjusted monthly ("LIBOR"), plus 2.00% in order to fund the AlliedSignal Asset
Purchase. The Subordinated Notes are payable in four annual installments of
$50,000 and one final payment of $14.8 million at maturity, but may be prepaid
in whole or in part at the option of the Company at any time. All payments and
prepayments in respect of the Subordinated Notes are fully subordinated to all
payments in respect of the Bank One Loan. The Subordinated Notes are accompanied
by warrants for 500,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at an exercise
price of $8.00 (the
 
                                       25
<PAGE>   27
 
"Warrants"). The Warrants were exercised on October 9, 1997. The holder of the
Subordinated Notes is Richard L. Monfort, a director of the Company. See
"Certain Relationships and Related Transactions."
 
     The Company has begun construction of a new manufacturing facility in
Oregon to replace its present facility located in Oregon at an approximate cost
of $5.8 million. The Company will fund this from operational cash flow and, to
the extent necessary, available lines of credit.
 
     The Company intends to use the proceeds from the offering made hereby to
make a $6 million contingent payment to the previous owners of certain of the
CTI Companies and to repay all or part of the Bank One Loan. See "Use of
Proceeds."
 
     The Company may require additional capital to finance enhancements to, or
expansions of, its manufacturing capacity in accordance with its business
strategy. Management believes that the need for working capital will continue to
grow at a rate generally consistent with the growth of the Company's operations.
The Company may seek additional funds, from time to time, through public or
private debt or equity offerings, bank borrowing or leasing arrangements;
however, no assurance can be given that financing will be available on terms
acceptable to the Company.
 
     New Accounting Standard. In February 1997, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board issued Statement No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" ("SFAS 128")
which revised the calculation and presentation provisions of Accounting
Principles Board Opinion 15 and related interpretations. SFAS 128 is effective
for the Company's fiscal year ending December 31, 1997 and retroactive
application is required. The Company believes the adoption of SFAS 128 will not
have a material effect on its determination of earnings per share.

                            BUSINESS AND PROPERTIES
 
GENERAL
 
     The Company is a leading independent provider of high-mix electronic
manufacturing services ("EMS") and repair and warranty services to OEMs. The
Company's manufacturing services focus on a market niche of high-mix electronic
products -- products that are characterized by small lot sizes with differences
in configuration from each lot size to the next -- with an emphasis on
high-speed production. Following its recent acquisition of the CTI Companies,
the Company now also provides hub-based repair and warranty services that are
marketed as part of the logistics service offerings of the two largest companies
that specialize in overnight delivery services in the United States. These
hub-based services are provided principally through facilities located inside
the Overnight Delivery Hubs in Memphis, Tennessee and Louisville, Kentucky.
 
     Through a series of acquisitions completed in 1997, the Company has
expanded its operations from one manufacturing facility in Colorado at the
beginning of 1997 to seven facilities throughout the United States at September
30, 1997. Additionally, these Acquisitions have strategically expanded the
Company's breadth of high-mix service offerings to include concurrent
engineering, subassembly manufacturing, next-day delivery of assemblies and
warranty and post-warranty repair services. The Acquisitions are expected to
provide the Company with new opportunities to develop programs to help its
existing customers reduce inventory, and allow the Company to cross-market its
services to the CTI Companies' existing customer base. See "Prospectus
Summary -- Acquisitions" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations -- The Company -- Recent Developments."
 
INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
 
     Electronics Manufacturing Services. The electronic manufacturing services
industry emerged in the United States in the 1970s and began to grow rapidly in
the 1980s. By subcontracting their manufacturing operations, OEMs realized
productivity gains by reducing manufacturing capacity and the number of in-house
employees needed to manufacture products. As a result, capital that such OEMs
would have otherwise devoted to manufacturing operations became available for
other activities, such as product development and marketing. Over time, OEMs
have determined that manufacturing is not one of their core competencies,
leading them to outsource an increasing percentage, and in some cases all, of
their manufacturing to EMS providers. The Company believes that many OEMs now
view EMS providers as an integral part of their business and manufacturing
strategy rather than as a back-up source to in-house manufacturing capacity
during peak periods. The types of services now being outsourced have also grown.
The Company believes that OEMs are outsourcing more design engineering,
distribution and after-sale support, in addition to material procurement,
manufacturing and testing. Technology Forecasters, an independent market
research firm, has forecasted that the worldwide market for electronic contract
manufacturing services is expected to grow from $60 billion in 1996 to $140
billion in 2000, representing a compound annual growth rate of 24%.
 
     Repair and Warranty Services. OEMs are also under pressure to control their
warranty and service costs without allowing customer service to suffer. This
pressure has increased as warranty periods have grown longer and product
life-cycles have grown shorter. As with manufacturing services, many OEMs have
determined that handling repair and warranty service and providing repair
services after warranty expiration are not within their core competencies.
Outsourcing allows the OEMs to focus their efforts on product research, design,
development and marketing. OEMs can also obtain other benefits from the use of
outside repair service providers, including reduced spares inventory, faster
turns on inventory and improved customer service for products during the
warranty period as well as after expiration of the warranty period. The
Company's hub-based service centers allow OEMs and their customers accelerated
repair cycles by eliminating transportation legs to and from the shipper to the
repair facilities. Dataquest, an independent market research firm, forecasts
that worldwide electronic hardware maintenance market revenues will increase
from $87.4 billion in 1995 to $106 billion in 2000. In addition, Dataquest
estimates that the three segments that the Company's repair and warranty
services are focused on -- personal

computers, workstations and data communications equipment -- will grow from
$19.4 billion in 1995 to $28 billion in 2000.
 
     Industry Trends. The Company believes that the growth of outsourcing
combined with the increasing number of types of electronic products that have
emerged over the last decade have significantly increased the variety of
electronic manufacturing services required by OEMs. Management also believes
that more OEMs from diverse industries are outsourcing manufacturing. The
proliferation of electronic products in such diverse fields as digital avionics,
electronic medical diagnostics and treatment, communications, industrial
controls and instrumentation and computers has placed increasing demands on EMS
providers to adapt to new requirements specific to different product types.
Similarly, the increasing diversity of the industries served by their OEM
customers is placing increased demands on EMS providers to expand their
value-added capabilities or more narrowly focus on a particular set of OEMs from
particular industry groups. These demands include unique time to market models,
manufacturing methods, technologies, quality criteria, and logistic needs,
resulting in an increasing need for EMS providers to specialize their services.
The Company believes that the key competitive trends in the industry may be
summarized as follows:

</TABLE>
 
     The Company believes that OEMs are offering, and in the future will
increasingly offer, electronic products that are customized to specifications of
OEMs on a "box-build" basis and to the specifications of end users on a BTO
basis. In "box-build" services, the manufacturer assembles parts and components,
some of which may be purchased from other manufacturers, into a finished product
that meets the OEM's specifications. BTO services are box-build services in
which the lot size may frequently consist of a single unit and is customized to
the specifications of an end user. Typically, these products have some basic,
mass-produced parts and special parts that are combined in numerous
configurations to form highly customized products. The Company believes EMS
providers seeking to participate in this BTO market niche will be required to
build these products as orders are received from OEMs to permit such OEMs to
reduce their inventory costs and to meet end-users' desires for fast order
fulfillment. The Company is pursuing a specialization strategy within the EMS
industry that focuses on providing a broad range of high-mix manufacturing and
repair and warranty services with an emphasis on high-speed production and
repair. The Company believes that OEMs that have historically been volume
producers, but who are now shifting to BTO business models, will also be
attracted to EFTC's integrated assembly, logistic, and repair capabilities at
the Overnight Delivery Hubs.
 
     Management believes that the Company's exclusive focus on high-mix
production techniques will serve the needs of traditional OEMs and is also
well-suited for the BTO market. All of the Company's systems are oriented toward
small-lot processing from cable assembly, to card assembly, to box-build, to
repair and warranty services. It is the Company's strategy to enter the BTO
market at the box-build level. The Company will outsource all mass-produced
items to commodity suppliers and manufacture the complex high-mix items at one
of the Company's regional facilities. Final BTO assembly will be done
 
                                       28
<PAGE>   30
 
within the Overnight Delivery Hubs in Memphis and Louisville where the Company
currently offers repair and warranty services. This strategy positions the
Company to offer OEMs a simplified, more cost effective logistic solution to the
delivery of their products. By locating its repair and warranty services within
the Overnight Delivery Hubs, the Company believes it can reduce inventory
pipelines, minimize transportation legs and gain more time to respond to
customer needs.
 
STRATEGY
 
     The Company's objective is to be a leading provider of electronic
manufacturing services exclusively focused on the needs of high-mix OEM
customers in its targeted markets. The Company believes its customers are
increasingly focused on improved inventory management, reduced time to market,
BTO production, access to leading-edge manufacturing technology and reduced
capital investment. The Company's strategy is to offer customers select service
offerings which utilize the Company's core competency of small-lot processing
and logistics benefits arising from the unique positioning of its repair and
warranty services and, in the future, BTO services within the Overnight Delivery
Hubs. The Company believes that this strategy will offer OEMs the most efficient
model to deliver BTO products. The Company's strategy is to create a broad
geographic presence, to provide innovative manufacturing solutions, to provide a
broad range of manufacturing services including, in the future, BTO services and
to help OEMs simplify inventory and logistics management.
 
     Broad Geographic Presence. Electronic component manufacturing requires
close coordination of design and manufacturing efforts. The Company's strategy
to achieve that coordination is to provide front-end design in
manufacturability, engineering services, design for test engineering services,
prototypes, and complex high-mix production through regional facilities located
close to OEM engineering centers. This proximity allows for faster product
introduction and greater use of concurrent engineering. In pursuit of its
manufacturing strategy, the Company has made acquisitions in Oregon, Washington,
Arizona and Florida. To pursue its integrated repair and warranty strategy, the
Company has acquired the CTI Companies, a repair and warranty services
organization located within the Overnight Delivery Hubs in Memphis, Tennessee,
Louisville, Kentucky and Tampa, Florida. The Company believes that this
configuration of sites allows the Company to provide flexible, time-critical
services to its customers. See "-- Description of Property."
 
     Innovative Manufacturing Solutions. The Company has designed APM to improve
cycle times in the manufacture of high-mix products. APM allows for the building
of small lots in very short cycle times by moving products asynchronously across
standardized processes. The Company is continuing to refine APM with the goal of
reducing average manufacturing cycle time to two days. See "-- Services --
Asynchronous Process Manufacturing." The Company has also innovated additional
services customized to meet the specialized needs of high-mix OEMs such as its
Total Solution Prototype Services ("TSPS"), the industry's first fixed-price
turnkey prototype service, its Component Obsolescence Program ("COP") and its
"Point-of-Use Stocking Program" ("PUP").
 
     Broad Range of Manufacturing Services. The Company's regional plants are
actively involved in customer's new product introductions. As each newly built
or acquired facility is integrated into the Company's operations, each is
expected to have "design for manufacturability" ("DFM"), "design for test"
("DFT"), prototype, circuit card and cable assembly capabilities and to
incorporate APM for the manufacture of high-mix products. See
"-- Services -- Design and Testing Services." The CTI Companies' facilities
based at the Overnight Delivery Hubs now enable the Company to provide "design
for serviceability" capabilities and to market the CTI Companies' repair and
warranty services as complements to the Company's broad range of manufacturing
services. See "--Services--Repair and Warranty Services."
 
     Provide Build-To-Order Services. The Company believes it has the necessary
skills and processes and is developing the integration plan necessary to
establish BTO capability for completed computers and instruments and systems at
its facilities based in the Overnight Delivery Hubs. Locating this activity at
the Overnight Delivery Hubs is intended to allow the Company's OEM customers to
effect delivery of
 
                                       29
<PAGE>   31
 
products to their customers with the fewest legs of transportation and the
simplest logistic channel, thereby reducing the OEMs' inventory investments. The
Company expects to manufacture complex high-mix circuit cards at its regional
sites, out-source high-volume commodities to mass producers and conduct final
assembly and test at its Overnight Delivery Hubs. See
"-- Services -- Build-to-Order Services."
 
     Simplified Logistics and Inventory Management. The Company seeks to
differentiate itself from its competitors by offering the customer service
offerings that utilize logistic benefits resulting from the positioning of the
Overnight Delivery Hubs. By taking advantage of the movement of goods through
the Overnight Delivery Hubs and the timing of the arrival and departure of
planes from the Overnight Delivery Hubs, the Company believes it will be
well-positioned within the industry to minimize: (1) the number of
transportation legs incurred in the overall movement of goods; (2) the total
inventory pipelines required for final build of goods in a BTO model; and (3)
the inventory pipeline required to support a rapid repair and warranty service.
See "-- Services -- Repair and Warranty Services."
 
SERVICES
 
     Manufacturing Services Overview. The Company's turnkey manufacturing
services consist of assembling complex printed circuit boards (using both
surface mount and pin-through-hole interconnection technologies), cables,
electromechanical devices and finished products. The Company also provides
computer-aided testing of printed circuit boards, subsystems and final
assemblies. In certain instances, the Company completes the assembly of its
customers' products at the Company's facilities by integrating printed circuit
boards and electro-mechanical devices into other components of the customer's
products. The Company obtained, from the International Organization of
Standards, ISO 9002 certification in 1994.
 
     The Company offers customer-select service offerings which utilize the
Company's core competency of small-lot processing and logistic benefits due to
the position of its repair and warranty service operations within the Overnight
Delivery Hubs. The Company is developing plans to offer BTO services in the
future which would be based at the Overnight Delivery Hubs. In addition, the
Company has also innovated additional services customized to meet the needs of
OEMs that develop and sell high-mix products. These include APM, TSPS, PUP and
COP.
 
     Asynchronous Process Manufacturing. In the third quarter of 1996, the
Company introduced Asynchronous Process Manufacturing, a new manufacturing
methodology, at its Rocky Mountain facility. APM is an innovative combination of
high-speed manufacturing equipment, sophisticated information systems and
standardized process teams designed to manufacture mixtures of small quantities
of products faster and with more flexibility. APM allows for the building of
small lots in very short cycle times. The Company is continuing to refine APM
with the goal of reducing manufacturing cycle time for high-mix circuit cards to
two days. The Company plans to implement APM at all of its facilities and for
all of its customers as part of a strategy to focus the Company exclusively on
manufacturing high-mix products. APM implementation requires a complete redesign
of the Company's manufacturing operations, reorganizing personnel into process
teams and revising documentation. At the Company's Rocky Mountain facility, the
physical moves were completed in September 1996 and by the end of October 1996
APM was fully implemented. The Company has begun implementing APM at its
existing Newberg, Oregon facility, but will not complete that implementation
until after its new manufacturing facility under construction in Newberg, Oregon
is completed. The Company also plans to implement APM at its other facilities,
at appropriate times.
 
     APM improves throughput of certain assembly processes over traditional
continuous (synchronous) flow processing ("CFM"), which is the predominant
method used in high-volume manufacturing. With APM, the Company is able to
process products rapidly using a combination of new discontinuous flow methods
for differing product quantities, fast surface mount assembly systems, test
equipment and high-volume, high-speed production lines. In the APM model,
materials are moved through the production queue at high-speed and not in a
continuous or linear order as under CFM. Instead, materials are moved
 
                                       30
<PAGE>   32
 
though the assembly procedure in the most efficient manner, using a computer
algorithm developed for the Company's operations, with all sequences controlled
by a computerized information system.
 
     High-mix manufacturing using APM involves a discontinuous series of
products fed through assembly in a start-stop manner, heretofore incompatible
with high-speed techniques. APM is an alternative to both CFM and batch
processing often used in smaller scale manufacturing. Until now, the combination
of small lots with numerous differences in configuration from each lot to the
next and high-speed manufacturing has been viewed as difficult, if not
impossible, by many high-mix manufacturers. The Company believes that CFM
techniques used by high-volume, high-speed ECMs cannot accommodate high-mix
product assembly without sacrificing speed, while smaller ECMs, capable of
producing a wide variety of products, often find it difficult to afford
high-quality, high-speed manufacturing assets or to keep up with OEMs' growing
product demand. Under CFM, all assembly occurs on the same line, thereby slowing
down the process with non-value-added operations. Under APM, all non-value-added
operations are performed in the most efficient manner, off-line, thereby keeping
the assembly process moving. A hybrid of CFM and batch production techniques,
APM sets optimal process parameters and maximizes velocity in producing smaller
lot quantities. By designating teams to set up off-line feeders, standardizing
loading methods regardless of product complexity, and most importantly,
improving employee motivation, the Company's application of APM has decreased
set-up and cycle times, standardized work centers, allowed processing of smaller
lot sizes and increased the Company's productivity.

     Design and Testing Services. The Company also participates in product
design by providing its customers "concurrent engineering" or "design for
manufacturability" services. The Company's applications engineering group
interacts with the customer's engineers early in the design process to reduce
variation and complexity in new designs and to increase the Company's ability to
use automated
 
                                       31
<PAGE>   33
 
production technologies. Application engineers are also responsible for assuring
that a new design can be properly tested at a reasonable cost. Engineering input
in component selection is also essential to assure that a minimum number of
components are used, that components can be used in automated assembly and that
components are readily available and cost efficient. The Company also offers
customers a quick-turnaround, turnkey prototype service.
 
     The Company has the capability to perform in-circuit and functional
testing, as well as environmental stress screening. In-circuit tests verify that
components have been properly inserted and that the electrical circuits are
complete. Functional tests determine if a board or system assembly is performing
to customer specifications. Environmental tests determine how a component will
respond to varying environmental factors such as different temperatures and
power surges. These tests are usually conducted on a sample of finished
components although some customers may require testing of all products to be
purchased by that customer. Usually, the Company designs or procures test
fixtures and then develops its own test software. The change from
pin-through-hole technology to surface mount technology is leading to further
changes in test technology. The Company seeks to provide customers with highly
sophisticated testing services that are at the forefront of current test
technology. Because the density and complexity of electronic circuitry
constantly are increasing, the Company seeks to utilize developing test
technology in its automated test equipment and inspection systems in order to
provide superior services to its customers.
 
     Repair and Warranty Services. The Company has recently acquired the CTI
Companies, a hub-based, component-level repair organization focused on the
personal computer and communications industries. The CTI Companies pioneered the
"end-of-runway" or "airport-hub-based" repair strategy and are the only
providers with operations inside and integrated with the operations of the
Overnight Delivery Hubs. The Company believes that through the CTI Companies'
long tenure in the industry, high-quality technical capabilities, logistically
advantageous site locations, and strong relationships with transportation
industry leaders, the CTI Companies have developed an optimized "service spares
pipeline," allowing lower OEM costs and improving end-user service levels.
 
     The Company's repair service offering complements the transportation
logistics services marketing efforts of the two principal transportation
providers at the Overnight Delivery Hubs, who work with the Company in providing
access to large OEM accounts. The Company has exercised tight cost control on
costs by using a flexible, part-time labor pool and leveraging the sales and
marketing efforts of these transportation and logistics service providers.
Additionally, beyond the requisite piece-part inventory for repairs, the Company
carries minimal OEM inventory and is thus less exposed to inventory obsolescence
than many competitors.
 
     The Company's repair and warranty division has developed superior brand
equity with high levels of service achievable through product and vendor repair
specialization. The Company believes that, through its experience of perfecting
an integrated service and logistics model, it has erected a barrier to entry for
potential competitors who might also seek to locate repair and warranty service
centers at the Overnight Delivery Hubs. Moreover, the Company believes the CTI
Companies have succeeded in increasing certain customers' service spare part
inventory turnover rates significantly. The experiences of the CTI Companies
with those customers provide evidence to demonstrate to potential OEM customers
the cost savings associated with significant increases in service spare
inventory turnover.
 
     The Company's repair and warranty services handle various types of
equipment, including monitors, PC boards, routers, laptops, printers, scanners,
fax machines, pen-based products, PDAs, and keyboards. The Company works with
its customers on "advance exchange" programs, whereby end users receive
overnight replacement of their broken components, which are in turn repaired by
the Company and replaced into the OEMs' "service spares inventory pipeline" for
future redistribution. The Company thus assists OEM customers in increasing
inventory turns, reducing spares inventory, lowering overall costs, accelerating
repair cycles, and improving customer service. Customer service is improved
through both quicker turnaround time for in-warranty claims, as well as having
the Company support end-customers with out-of-warranty claims and end-of-life
products.
 
                                       32
<PAGE>   34
 
     Build-to-Order Services. The Company believes OEMs are shifting their focus
to increase demand for customized products. In the past, electronic products
were typically mass produced, sold through distributors to retailers who, in
turn, sell to the mass market. Currently, the Company believes there will be an
increased need for custom producers who build to a custom order received
directly from an end user through telephone or Internet ordering systems. For
example, several computer manufacturers have begun to market computers directly
to, and to receive orders directly from, end-users. The products are then
rapidly custom-built and delivered to the end-user.
 
     Custom products are by definition high-mix in that they are built in small
lots and produced in a wide variety of configurations. Management believes that
the Company's core competency of small-lot processing using its APM model will
permit the Company to begin providing BTO services. The Company is developing a
plan to begin BTO manufacturing, which includes these elements:
 
     - high-mix circuit cards and subassemblies will be manufactured at one of
       its regional sites,
 
     - commodity high-volume cards and subassemblies will be outsourced to
       volume commodity producers,
 
     - the Company's high-mix products and outsourced commodities will be
       delivered to its BTO facilities located within Overnight Delivery Hubs,
 
     - orders will be received at the Overnight Delivery Hubs, and
 
     - final product will be assembled at facilities currently used for
       repair/service utilizing the APM model and delivered to the end user.
 
Management believes that this infrastructure, combined with its APM model, will
provide OEMs a cost-advantageous model to serve their BTO needs. The Company can
give no assurance, however, that it will begin BTO service or that the Company
will successfully attract customers to utilize this new offering.
 
CUSTOMERS AND MARKETING
 
     The Company seeks to serve traditional high-mix OEMs and OEMs that produce
high-volume products and need high-mix repair and warranty services, which by
their nature are high-mix services, or plan to implement high-mix BTO
strategies. The Company has recently reorganized its manufacturing marketing
efforts to focus on the following markets: (1) aerospace and avionics; (2)
medical devices; (3) communications; (4) industrial controls and
instrumentation; and (5) computer-related products.
 
     Each segment has or will have a marketing manager located at the corporate
center in Denver. The marketing manager's responsibility is to understand their
market, to know which companies are the market share leaders, to know which are
the emerging growth companies within the sector, and to know what new products
and technologies are being introduced into that sector. From that data, the
marketing manager develops a target account list and appropriate strategies and
tactics for pursuing those accounts. Regional sales managers located at each of
the Company's regional sites will assist the marketing managers. The regional
sales managers are responsible for identifying and pursuing accounts within
their region that fit the Company's targeted outlets. This interlocked or
"webbed" sales and marketing organization positions the Company to pursue
accounts on both a national and regional basis.
 
     In addition, a key part of the Company's repair and warranty services
marketing strategy is to continue to utilize the sales force of the two
transportation providers located in the Overnight Delivery Hubs to sell the
Company's repair and warranty services as an integral part of the logistics
service offerings of these transporation providers.

     interests in favor of Bank One, and any other lenders from time to time
     under the Bank One Loan.
 
 (2) This lease will expire on December 31, 1999.
 
 (3) This facility is located on approximately 10 acres of land owned by the

     Company has leased a 10,000 square foot facility from an unaffiliated third
     party.
 
                 CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
 
     SMI. Sales Management International, Inc. ("SMI") was formed in 1987 by Mr.
Jack Calderon, President, Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company,
Mr. Allen S. Braswell, Sr., the Chairman of CTI and Mr. Allen S. Braswell, Jr.,
the President and Chief Executive Officer of CTI. SMI, acting as sales agent for
CTI, secured a large contract from IBM to repair computer monitors and received
a commission of 2% of revenues derived from such contract. In November 1990,
CTI's Board of Directors passed a resolution stating that in the event of a
change of control of CTI, SMI would receive 2% of the purchase price or $0.5
million, whichever is less. The total proceeds received by SMI as the result of
the consummation of the CTI Merger was $0.5 million, of which Mr. Calderon
received $166,667, representing his 33.3% interest. Since his employment with
the Company, Mr. Calderon has not received any other compensation from SMI.
 
     Leases. CTI leases a portion of its repair facilities in Tampa, Florida
from Allen S. Braswell, Sr. a director of the Company. The Company leases
approximately 15,000 square feet and the monthly lease cost is $3.44 per square
foot and $300 per month for taxes. The building is used for repair operations
and storage. The Company expects such arrangement to end in March 1998.
 
     The Company currently leases a manufacturing facility in Newberg, Oregon
from Mr. Charles Hewitson, Mr. Gregory Hewitson and Mr. Matthew Hewitson, each
of whom is a director of the Company. The Company expects, upon completion of
its new facility which is currently under construction, to relocate its Newberg
operations from the leased facility to the new facility and to terminate such
lease. The Company also leases a manufacturing facility in Moses Lake,
Washington from the Hewitsons and the Company expects to continue such
arrangement.
 
     Contingent Payment. In connection with the CTI Merger, the Company agreed
to pay Allen S. Braswell, Sr., Allen S. Braswell, Jr. (each a director of the
Company) and other members of their families,
 
                                       36
<PAGE>   38
 
who were the indirect owners of the membership interests in Airhub and CTI LLC,
on a pro rata basis, up to $6.0 million in three annual installments, subject to
the achievement by the CTI Companies of certain goals relating to earnings
before interest and taxes and subject to certain other conditions. Such
agreement also provided for payment to the members of Airhub and CTI LLC of $6.0
million minus any earnout payments made or due and payable, in the event of
either (i) a change in control of the Company; (ii) a public offering of the
Company's Common Stock; or (iii) a private offering of the Company's Common
Stock with aggregate net proceeds to the Company of not less than $40 million.
Accordingly such $6.0 million contingent payment will become payable upon
completion of the offering made hereby. See "Use of Proceeds."
 
     Director Representation of the CTI Companies. Mr. Robert K. McNamara, a
director of the Company, is a Managing Director of Broadview, an investment
banking firm, and in such capacity represented the CTI Companies in connection
with the CTI Merger. Broadview is an investment bank that has represented
numerous companies in connection with mergers and acquisitions in the technology
sector. Broadview received a fee of approximately $900,000 in connection with
the consummation of the CTI Merger. The previous owners of certain of the CTI
Companies have agreed to pay Broadview an additional fee of $60,000 upon receipt
of the $6.0 million contingent payment referred to above. See "-- Contingent
payment."
 
     Issuance of Subordinated Notes. Mr. Richard L. Monfort, a member of the
Company's Board of Directors, purchased $15 million in aggregate principal
amount of Subordinated Notes issued by the Company on September 9, 1997. The
Subordinated Notes have a five-year maturity and bear interest at a variable
rate (adjusted monthly) equal to 2.00% over the applicable LIBOR rate. The
principal amount of the Subordinated Notes mature in four annual installments of
$50,000 (commencing on the first anniversary of their issuance) and a final
payment for the balance at maturity. In connection with the issuance of the
Subordinated Notes, on October 6, 1997, the Company issued Warrants to purchase
500,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at an exercise price of $8.00 per
share to Mr. Monfort. The Warrants were exercised on October 9, 1997.

               DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK AND OTHER SECURITIES
 
     The Company's authorized capital stock consists of 45,000,000 shares of
Common Stock and 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, each with a par value of
$0.01 per share. As of October 9, 1997, there were 8,313,135 shares of Common
Stock outstanding, held of record by 247 persons, and no Preferred Stock was
outstanding. Upon completion of this offering, and after the exercise of certain
options before the closing of this offering, there will be 11,854,135 shares of
Common Stock (exclusive of shares subject to outstanding options and warrants)
and no shares of Preferred Stock outstanding.
 
     The following summary description of the Company's capital stock does not
purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
Company's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws and to Colorado law. See
"Available Information."
 
COMMON STOCK
 
     Holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share of Common
Stock held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders.
Accordingly, holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock entitled to
vote in any election of directors may elect all of the directors standing for
election. Subject to preferences for any outstanding Preferred Stock, holders of
Common Stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends as the Board of
Directors may declare out of funds legally available for that purpose. In the
event of a liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, holders of
Common Stock are entitled to share ratably all assets remaining after payment of
liabilities and the liquidation preference of any outstanding Preferred Stock.
 
     Holders of Common Stock have no preemptive rights. All of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock are, and the Common Stock to be sold in this Offering
will be, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
 
     American Securities Transfer, Inc., is the transfer agent and registrar for
the Common Stock.
 
PREFERRED STOCK
 
     The Company is authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock.
Subject to the limitations prescribed by law, the Board of Directors is
authorized to divide the Preferred Stock into series and to fix and determine
the relative rights and preferences of the shares of any series so established.
The authority of the Board with respect to each series shall, to the extent
allowed by the Colorado Corporate Code or any successor statute include, without
limitation, the express authority to establish and fix the following: the number
of shares and designation of any series of Preferred Stock and the dividend
rights and terms, dividend rate, conversion rights and terms, voting rights,
redemption rights and terms, liquidation preferences and sinking fund or reserve
account terms of any series of Preferred Stock. Any such Preferred Stock could
have economic and other rights senior to the Common Stock, so that the issuance
of such Preferred Stock could adversely affect the market value of the Common
Stock. The issuance of Preferred Stock may also have the effect of delaying,
deferring or preventing a change in control of the Company without any action by
the shareholders. The Company has no current plans to issue any such shares of
Preferred Stock.
 
CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE COMPANY'S ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION AND BYLAWS
 
     Certain provisions of the Company's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws
summarized below may have an anti-takeover effect and may delay, defer or
prevent a tender offer or takeover attempt that a shareholder might consider in
his or her best interest, including attempts that might result in a premium over
the market price for the shares held by shareholders. See "Risk
Factors -- Anti-Takeover Provisions."
 
     The Company's Articles of Incorporation provide for a classified Board of
Directors. For purposes of determining their terms, directors are divided as
evenly as possible into three classes, with elections for each class every three
years on a staggered basis. See "Management."
 
                                       48
<PAGE>   50
 
     In addition to the provisions described above, the Company's Articles of
Incorporation and Bylaws provide (i) that vacancies on the Board of Directors
may be filled only by the remaining directors (unless the Board approves the
filling of such vacancies by the shareholders or there are no directors
remaining, in which case the shareholders shall fill any such vacancies), (ii)
that any action required or permitted to be taken by the shareholders of the
Company may be taken only at a duly called annual or special meeting of the
shareholders of the Company, and may not be taken by consent in writing or
otherwise except upon the unanimous consent of all shareholders entitled to vote
thereon, (iii) that special meetings of the Company's shareholders may be called
only by the Company's Chairman of the Board, President or Board of Directors
pursuant to a resolution approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the
directors then in office, (iv) that the Company may not engage in certain
business combinations with, in general, a person who is the beneficial owner of
10% or more of the Company's outstanding voting stock (with certain exceptions
relating to persons who held Common Stock on December 9, 1993) without the
authorization or approval, or the affirmative vote of holders of at least 80% of
the outstanding shares and a majority of the shares not beneficially owned by
the interested shareholder in each case voting together as a single class or the
satisfaction of certain price, consideration and procedural requirements, (v)
that the shareholders or the Company may adopt, amend, or repeal Bylaws only
with the approval of holders of at least 80% of the shares, (vi) removal of any
director requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 80% of the
outstanding shares, (vii) for an advance notice procedure for the nomination,
other than by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or a committee of
the Board of Directors, of candidates for election as directors as well as for
other shareholder proposals to be considered at annual meetings of shareholders,
and (viii) that, except as otherwise required by law, no shareholder may
nominate a person for election to the Board of Directors at a special meeting
unless the special meeting is called for the election of directors and the
shareholder satisfies the requirements for nominating directors. In general,
notice of intent to nominate a director or raise business at such meetings must
be received by the Company not less than 60 nor more than 90 days before the
meeting, and must contain certain information concerning the person to be
nominated or the matters to be brought before the meeting and concerning the
shareholder submitting the proposal. The affirmative vote of the holders of at
least 80% of the outstanding shares is generally required to amend or repeal, or
adopt any provision inconsistent with, the provisions described in this
paragraph or to provide for cumulative voting.
 
                        SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
 
     Upon completion of the offering made hereby, there will be 11,854,135
shares of Common Stock outstanding (exclusive of shares subject to outstanding
options and warrants). Of these shares, all of the 4,000,000 shares to be sold
in this offering and an additional 5,870,310 previously issued shares will be
freely tradable without restriction under the Securities Act, by persons who are
not "affiliates" of the Company as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the
Securities Act. The remaining 5,983,825 shares are "restricted securities" as
that term is defined under the Securities Act or are held by affiliates of the
Company (the "Non-Trading Shares") and may not be sold in the absence of
registration under the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom, including the
exemptions contained in Rule 144 and Rule 701 under the Securities Act, and may
not be sold except in accordance with the lockup agreement described below.
 
     The Company, its directors and executive officers and the Selling
Shareholders have agreed (the "Lockup Agreement") with the Underwriters not to
make certain sales or dispositions of shares of Common Stock or securities
convertible or exercisable for Common Stock for a period of 180 days (or, in the
case of Gerald J. Reid, Lucille A. Reid, Lloyd A. McConnell, Charles E.
Hewitson, Matthew J. Hewitson, Gregory C. Hewitson, Allen S. Braswell, Sr. and
Allen S. Braswell, Jr., for a period of 360 days) after the date of this
Prospectus without the prior written consent of Salomon Brothers Inc, subject to
certain exceptions. See "Underwriting." Salomon Brothers Inc may, in its sole
discretion at any time without notice, consent to an early termination of the
Lockup Agreement with respect to some or all of the shares subject thereto.
 
                                       49
<PAGE>   51
 
     Upon termination of the 180-day lockup period, approximately 221,220 of the
Non-Trading Shares will be eligible for sale, and upon the termination of the
360-day lockup period, approximately 4,946,631 of the Non-Trading Shares will be
eligible for sale, in each case subject to the requirements of Rule 144. In
addition, the directors, officers and Selling Shareholders who have agreed to
180-day or 360-day lockup periods hold currently exercisable options to purchase
336,386 shares of Common Stock, 324,386 of which may be sold following the
expiration of the 180-day lockup period, and 12,000 of which may be sold
following the expiration of the 360-day lockup period, under the registration
statements on Form S-8 described below.
 
     In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, if at least one year has
elapsed since the later of the date of acquisition of "restricted securities"
from the Company or from an "affiliate" of the Company, the acquiror or
subsequent holder thereof will be entitled to sell, within any three-month
period, a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of one percent of
the shares of Common Stock then outstanding or the average weekly trading volume
of the Common Stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the sale of such
shares. Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to certain manner of sale
provisions, notice requirements and the availability of current public
information about the Company. If (i) at least two years have elapsed since the
later of the date of acquisition of any "restricted securities" from the Company
or from an "affiliate" of the Company and (ii) the acquiror or subsequent holder
thereof is deemed not to have been an "affiliate" of the Company at any time
during the preceding three months, such person will be entitled to sell such
shares under Rule 144 immediately without regard to the volume limitations,
manner of sale provisions, public information requirements or notice
requirements described above.
 
     The Company also has reserved 2,295,000 shares of Common Stock for issuance
under its Equity Incentive Plan and its Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee
Directors (collectively, the "Plans"). Options to purchase 1,152,700 of such
shares have been issued under the Plans and 879,776 of such options have vested
and remain outstanding. The resale of 1,155,000 shares of Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of such options has been registered on Form S-8 and, shortly after
the offering made hereby, the Company intends to file registration statements on
Form S-8 to register the resale of the remaining 1,140,000 shares of Common
Stock reserved for issuance under the Company's Stock Option Plans. In addition,
43,800 shares are reserved for issuance upon the exercise of the options issued
and outstanding under the Company's 1993 Stock Option Plan, which is now closed.
The resale of such shares has also been registered by the Company on Form S-8.
 
     Under the terms and subject to the conditions of certain registration
rights agreements, certain of the Company's shareholders, including certain
Selling Shareholders, and certain of their transferees, are entitled to rights
with respect to registration under the Securities Act of their shares of Common
Stock not sold in the offering made hereby. If the Company proposes to register
any of its securities under the Securities Act, either for its account or for
the account of other security holders, the Company is required, subject to
certain conditions, to use its best efforts to include in such registration the
registrable securities held by those shareholders entitled to registration
rights. In addition, subject to certain conditions, such shareholders may
require the Company to file registration statements under the Securities Act
with respect to the registrable securities of the Company held by them. The
Company's directors, officers, Selling Shareholders and certain other
shareholders holding registration rights have waived such rights with respect to
the registration of the Common Stock being offered hereby. Furthermore, each of
the Company's directors officers and Selling Shareholders who have entered into
Lockup Agreements have also effectively waived the ability to exercise any such
registration rights until the expiration of the applicable lockup period.
 
     No assurances can be given with respect to the effect, if any, of future
public sales of restricted shares of Common Stock or the availability of
restricted shares of Common Stock for sale in the public market. Sales of
substantial amounts of Common Stock in the public market could adversely affect
prevailing market prices.

     In the Underwriting Agreement, the several Underwriters have agreed,
subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, to purchase all of the
above-listed shares of Common Stock if any such shares are purchased. In the
event of a default by any Underwriter, the Underwriting Agreement provides that,
in certain circumstances, the purchase commitments of the nondefaulting
Underwriters may be increased or the Underwriting Agreement may be terminated.
 
     The Company and the Selling Shareholders have been advised by the
Representatives that the several Underwriters propose initially to offer the
above-listed shares to the public at the price to public set forth on the cover
page of this Prospectus and to certain dealers at such price less a concession
not in excess of $          per share. The Underwriters may allow, and such
dealers may reallow, a concession not in excess of $          per share to other
dealers. After the initial public offering, the public offering price and such
concession may be changed.
 
     The Company and the Selling Shareholders have granted the Underwriters an
option, exercisable during the 30-day period after the date of this Prospectus,
to purchase up to 100,000 and 500,000 additional shares of Common Stock,
respectively, at the same price per share as the initial 4,000,000 shares of
Common Stock to be purchased by the several Underwriters. The Underwriters may
exercise such option only to cover over-allotments, if any, incurred in
connection with the sale of the shares of Common Stock made hereby. To the
extent that the Underwriters exercise such option, each Underwriter will have a
firm commitment, subject to certain conditions, to purchase the same proportion
of the additional shares as the number of shares of Common Stock set forth
opposite such Underwriter's name in the table above bears to the total number of
shares of Common Stock initially offered by the Underwriters.
 
     The Company has agreed with the Underwriters not to offer, sell or contract
to sell, or otherwise directly or indirectly dispose of (whether by actual
disposition or effective economic disposition due to cash settlement or
otherwise), or announce the offering of, any other shares of Common Stock or any
securities convertible into, or exchangeable for, shares of Common Stock, for a
period of 180 days following the date of this Prospectus. The Company may,
however, issue Common Stock upon the exercise of options outstanding on the date
of this Prospectus.
 
     The directors and executive officers of the Company and the Selling
Shareholders of the Company have agreed with the Underwriters not to offer,
sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of, or file a registration
statement with the Commission in respect of, or establish or increase a put
equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within
the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange
Act") with respect to, any shares of capital stock of the Company or any
securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for such capital
stock, or publicly announce an intention to effect any such transaction, for a
period of 180 days (or, in the case of

Gerald J. Reid, Lucille A. Reid, Lloyd A. McConnell, Charles E. Hewitson,
Matthew J. Hewitson, Gregory C. Hewitson, Allen S. Braswell, Sr. and Allen S.
Braswell, Jr., for a period of 360 days) following the date of this Prospectus
without the prior written consent of Salomon Brothers Inc, other than (i) any
shares of Common Stock offered hereby, (ii) any option or warrant or the
conversion of a security outstanding on the date of, and described in, this
Prospectus and (iii) shares of Common Stock disposed of as bona fide gifts
approved by Salomon Brothers Inc.
 
     In connection with the offering made hereby, certain Underwriters and
selling group members and their respective affiliates may engage in transactions
that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the Common
Stock. Such transactions may include stabilization transactions effected in
accordance with Rule 104 of Regulation M under the Exchange Act, pursuant to
which such persons may bid for or purchase Common Stock for the purpose of
stabilizing its market price. The Underwriters may also engage in passive market
making transactions in the Common Stock in accordance with Rule 103 of
Regulation M. The Underwriters also may create a short position for the account
of the Underwriters by selling more Common Stock in connection with the offering
made hereby than they are committed to purchase from the Company and the Selling
Shareholders, and in such case may purchase Common Stock in the open market
following completion of the offering made hereby to cover all or a portion of
such short position. The Underwriters may also cover all or a portion of such
short position, up to 600,000 shares of Common Stock, by exercising the
Underwriters' over-allotment option referred to above. In addition, Salomon
Brothers Inc, on behalf of the Underwriters, may impose "penalty bids" under
contractual arrangements with the Underwriters whereby it may reclaim from an
Underwriter (or dealer participating in the offering made hereby), for the
account of other Underwriters, the selling concession with respect to Common
Stock that is distributed in the offering made hereby but subsequently purchased
for the account of the Underwriters in the open market. Any of the transactions
described in this paragraph may result in the maintenance of the price of the
Common Stock at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open
market. None of the transactions described in this paragraph is required, and,
if they are undertaken, they may be discontinued at any time.
 
     As permitted by Rule 103 under Regulation M, the Underwriters (and selling
group members) that are market makers ("passive market makers") in the Common
Stock may make bids for or purchases of Common Stock in the Nasdaq National
Market until such time, if any, when a stabilizing bid for such securities has
been made. Rule 103 generally provides that a passive market maker (i) may not
make net daily purchases of the Common Stock in excess of the greater of (1) 200
shares and (2) 30% of its average daily trading volume in such securities for
the two full consecutive calendar months immediately preceding the filing date
of the registration statement of which this Prospectus forms a part, (ii) may
not effect transactions or display bids for the Common Stock at a price that
exceeds the highest independent bid for the Common Stock by persons who are not
passive market makers (iii) may not display bids of a size that exceed the
lesser of (1) the minimum quotation size for the Common Stock and (2) the
remaining purchase capacity under clause (i) above and (iv) must identify its
bids as such.
 
     Each Underwriter will represent and agree in the Underwriting Agreement
that (i) it has not offered or sold, and, prior to the expiration of the period
ending six months after the date of this Prospectus, will not offer or sell any
of the shares offered hereby to persons in the United Kingdom, except to persons
whose ordinary activities involve them in acquiring, holding, managing or
disposing of investments (as principal or as agent) for the purposes of their
businesses or otherwise in circumstances which have not resulted and will not
result in an offer to the public in the United Kingdom, within the meaning of
the Public Offers of Securities Regulations 1995 (the "Regulations"), (ii) it
has complied and will comply with all applicable provisions of the Financial
Services Act 1986 with respect to anything done by it in relation to the shares
offered hereby in, from or otherwise involving the United Kingdom, and (iii) it
has only issued or passed on and will only issue or pass on in the United
Kingdom any document received by it in connection with the issue of the shares
offered hereby to a person who is of a kind described in Article 11(3) of the
Financial Services Act 1986 (Investment Advertisements) (Exemptions) Order 1996
or is a person to whom such document may otherwise lawfully be issued or passed
on.

     The Underwriting Agreement provides that the Company and the Selling
Shareholders will indemnify the several Underwriters against certain liabilities
and expenses, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or contribute to
payments that the Underwriters may be required to make in respect thereof.
 
                                 LEGAL MATTERS

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
 
The Board of Directors
EFTC Corporation:
 
     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of EFTC
Corporation and subsidiaries as of September 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996 and
1995, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders'
equity and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and for each
of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1996. These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
financial statements 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of EFTC
Corporation and subsidiaries as of September 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996 and
1995, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997 and for each of the years in the three-year
period ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
               SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 AND DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1995
 
(1) NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
     Business
 
     EFTC Corporation (the "Company"), is an independent provider of electronic
manufacturing services to original equipment manufacturers in the computer
peripherals, medical equipment, industrial controls, telecommunications
equipment and electronic instrumentation industries. The Company's manufacturing
services consist of assembling complex printed circuit boards (using both
surface mount and pin-through-hole technologies), cables, electro-mechanical
devices and finished products. The Company also provides computer aided testing
of printed circuit boards, subsystems and final assemblies and "hub based"
repair and warranty services.
 
     Basis of Presentation
 
     The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
EFTC Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries since their date of formation
or acquisition, as described in note 2. All intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
     The preparation of consolidated 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 and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
     The financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 are
unaudited but, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments, consisting
only of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for a fair
presentation of the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Information recorded in the notes to financial statements that relate to the
interim unaudited financial statements is also unaudited. The operating results
for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of
the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1997.
 
     Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
     Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with original
maturities of six months or less.
 
     Inventories
 
     Inventories are stated at the lower of weighted average cost or market.
 
     Property, Plant and Equipment
 
     Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Maintenance and repairs
are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is computed using straight-line
and accelerated methods over estimated useful lives ranging from 31 to 39 years
for buildings, and 5 to 10 years for furniture and fixtures and machinery and
equipment.
 
     Intangible Assets
 
     Intangible assets consist of goodwill and acquired intellectual property
which are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful
lives of 30 and 10 years, respectively. Acquired intellectual property consists
of circuit board assembly designs and specifications in the amount of $1.1
million, net of accumulated amortization of $7,000, and is included in other
noncurrent assets.

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
               SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 AND DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1995
 
     Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
 
     The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of"
(SFAS No. 121), effective January 1, 1996. SFAS 121 requires that long-lived
assets and certain identifiable intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset
may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is
generally measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future
net cash flows to be expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are
considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the
amount by which the carrying amounts of the assets exceed the fair values of the
assets. Adoption of this statement effective January 1, 1996 did not have a
material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of
operations or liquidity. In connection with the Company's restructuring in
August 1996, the Company recorded a provision for impairment of certain fixed
assets of $725,869.
 
     Income Taxes
 
     Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable
income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be
recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a
change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the
enactment date.
 
     Revenue Recognition
 
     The Company recognizes revenue upon shipment to customers.
 
     Income (Loss) Per Share
 
     Income per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares
and common equivalent shares outstanding during the year. Common equivalent
shares totaling 414,068 are included in the computation for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997 and consist of stock options, determined using the
treasury stock method. Common equivalent shares were not significant or
antidilutive for all other periods included in the accompanying consolidated
financial statements.
 
     Stock-based Compensation
 
     The Company accounts for its employee stock compensation plans as
prescribed under Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, "Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees." Pro forma disclosures of net income and earnings
per share required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (SFAS
123), "Accounting for Stock-based Compensation," are included in note 7 to the
financial statements.
 
(2) BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND ASSET ACQUISITIONS
 
     On September 30, 1997, the Company acquired three affiliated companies,
Circuit Test, Inc., Airhub Service Group L.C. and CTI International, L.C. (the
CTI Companies) for approximately $29.3 million consisting of 1,858,975 shares of
the Company's common stock and approximately $20.5 million in cash which
includes approximately $1 million of transaction costs. In addition, the Company
will make a $6 million contingent payment payable upon closing of a public
offering of securities. The Company recorded goodwill of approximately $32.4
million, which will be amortized over 30 years. The acquisition

was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting for business
combinations and, accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial
statements include the results of operations of the acquired businesses since
the date of acquisition.
 
     In August and September 1997, the Company completed the initial elements of
two transactions with AlliedSignal Inc. (AlliedSignal) pursuant to which the
Company acquired certain inventory and equipment located in Ft. Lauderdale,
Florida, subleased the facility where such inventory and equipment was located
and employed certain persons formerly employed by AlliedSignal at that location.
The Company also hired certain persons formerly employed by AlliedSignal in
Arizona and agreed with AlliedSignal to provide the personnel and management
services necessary to operate a related facility on behalf of AlliedSignal on a
temporary basis. Subject to the satisfaction of the requirements of the
Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, the Company will acquire
AlliedSignal's inventory and equipment located at the Arizona facility. The
aggregate purchase price of all the assets to be acquired by the Company from
AlliedSignal is expected to approximate $15.0 million, of which $10.9 million
had been paid through September 30, 1997. The Company has also agreed to pay
AlliedSignal one percent of gross revenue for all electronic assemblies and
parts made for customers other than AlliedSignal at the Arizona or Florida
facilities through December 31, 2006.
 
     On February 24, 1997, the Company acquired two affiliated entities, Current
Electronics, Inc., an Oregon Corporation, and Current Electronics (Washington),
Inc., a Washington Corporation (the CE Companies), for total consideration of
approximately $10.9 million, consisting of 1,980,000 shares of Company common
stock and approximately $5.5 million in cash which included approximately
$600,000 of transaction costs. The Company recorded goodwill of approximately
$8.0 million in connection with the acquisition, which is being amortized over
30 years. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting for business combinations and, accordingly, the accompanying
consolidated financial statements include the results of operations of the
acquired businesses since the date of acquisition.
 
     The following unaudited pro forma information assumes that the acquisitions
of the CTI Companies and the CE Companies had occurred on January 1, 1996 (in
thousands):

(4) DEBT
 
     During September 1997, the Company issued $15 million of subordinated notes
to a director and stockholder of the Company. The subordinated notes bear
interest at LIBOR plus 2% (7.63% at September 30, 1997) and are payable in four
annual installments of $50,000 and one final payment of $14.8 million in
September 2002. Payments on the notes are subordinate to the Company's senior
bank debt. The subordinated notes also include warrants to acquire 500,000
shares of the Company's common stock at $8.00 per share. The warrants were
issued in October 1997, were valued at approximately $500,000 using the
Black-Scholes pricing model, and such amount has been recorded as debt discount
and is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the notes. The
warrants were exercised on October 9, 1997 for total proceeds of $4 million.
 
     Long-term debt to others consists of the following:

(a) In connection with the CTI Companies business combination and the
    AlliedSignal asset acquisition, the Company entered into a new loan
    agreement comprised of a $25 million revolving line of credit, renewable on
    an annual basis until September 30, 2000, and a $20 million term loan
    maturing on September 30, 2002. The proceeds of the new loan agreement were
    used for (i) funding the CTI merger and (ii) repayment of the existing line
    of credit and bridge facility and equipment loan. Borrowings under the
    agreement bear interest at a rate based on either LIBOR or the prime rate
    plus

    applicable margins ranging from 0.50% to 3.25% for the term facility (8.5%
    at September 30, 1997) and 0% to 2.75% for the revolving facility (8.5% at
    September 30, 1997). Borrowings on the revolving facility are subject to
    limitation based on the value of the available collateral and are included
    in current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The
    loan agreement is collateralized by substantially all of the Company's
    assets. The loan agreement contains restrictive covenants relating to
    capital expenditures, limitation on investments, borrowings, payment of
    dividends, mergers and acquisitions, as well as the maintenance of certain
    financial ratios. The revolving facility requires a commitment fee of 0.5%
    per annum on any unused portion. As of September 30, 1997, the borrowing
    availability under the agreement was approximately $2.5 million. This credit
    facility may be also withdrawn or canceled at the bank's option under
    certain conditions such as default or in the event the Company experiences a
    material negative change in its financial condition.
 
     Annual maturities of long-term debt, including the subordinated notes, are
as follows at September 30, 1997:

(7) STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS
 
     The Company has three stock option or equity incentive plans: the 1993
Incentive Stock Options Plan (the "1993 Plan"), the Electronic Fab Technology
Corp. Equity Incentive Plan (the "Equity Incentive Plan") and the Electronic Fab
Technology Corp. Stock Option Plan for Non-employee Directors (the "Non-employee
Directors Plan"). Options to purchase 180,000 shares of common stock at an
exercise price of $3.33 have been granted under the 1993 Plan. These options
generally vest over a five-year period and expire April 22, 2003. The Equity
Incentive Plan provides for the grant of non-qualified stock options, incentive
stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and stock units.
Substantially all employees are eligible for the grant of awards. This plan was
amended to increase the maximum number of shares of common stock that can be
granted under this Plan to 1,995,000. The Non-Employee Directors Plan provides
for options to acquire shares of common stock to members of the Board of
Directors who are not also employees. A total of 300,000 shares are available
for grant under this plan. The Company has also issued 692,500 nonqualified
options to officers and employees. Options generally vest over 7 years and
vesting may accelerate based on increases in the market price of the Company's
stock.

     The Company applies the provisions of APB Opinion 25 and related
interpretations in accounting for its plans. Accordingly, because the Company
grants options at fair value, no compensation cost has been recognized for its
fixed stock option plans in 1997, 1996, 1995 and 1994.
 
     The weighted average fair value of options granted during the nine months
ended September 30, 1997 and the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 were
$4.97, $4.15 and $4.92, respectively. In estimating the fair value of options,
the Company used the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following
assumptions.

               SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 AND DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1995
 
     If compensation cost for the Company's three stock-based compensation plans
had been determined using the fair values at the grant dates for awards under
those plans consistent with SFAS 123, the Company's pro forma net income (loss)
and income (loss) per share would have been as follows:

several years, and additional awards are made each year. In addition,
compensation cost for options granted prior to January 1, 1995 has not been
considered.

     The Company also has 80,000 warrants outstanding which were issued to the
underwriter in connection with the Company's initial public offering in 1994.
The warrants are exercisable at $9.00 per share and expire in 1999. None of the
warrants have been exercised as of September 30, 1997.
 
(8) FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
     The carrying amounts of the Company's financial instruments at September
30, 1997 and December 31, 1996 and 1995 are deemed to approximate estimated fair
values. The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the
instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties.
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, accounts
payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of the short
maturity of these instruments. The carrying amounts of notes payable and
long-term debt approximate fair value because of the variable nature of the
interest rates of these instruments.

               SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 AND DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1995
 
(9) EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
 
     The Company has a 401(k) Savings Plan covering substantially all employees,
whereby the Company matches 50% of an employee's contributions to a maximum of
2% of the employee's compensation. Additional profit sharing contributions to
the plan are at the discretion of the Board of Directors. During the nine months
ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 and the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995
and 1994, contributions from the Company to the Plan were approximately $92,000,
$85,000, $108,000, $106,000 and $90,000, respectively.
 
     The Company also had a Profit and Gain Sharing Plan by which a percentage
of net income before taxes was allocated to the plan. During the years ended
1995 and 1994, contributions from the Company to the plan were approximately
$97,150 and $487,000, respectively. No contributions were made during the nine
months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 and the year ended December 31, 1996 as
the plan was discontinued.
 
     During 1996, the Company established an employee incentive plan based upon
employee productivity, transaction accuracy and profitability and contributed
approximately $210,000 to the plan in 1996 and $125,000 during the nine months
ended September 30, 1997.
 
(10) TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES
 
     Included in accrued compensation as of September 30, 1997, is $500,000 of
commissions payable to an entity in which individuals who are stockholders,
officers and directors of the Company have a majority ownership interest.
 
     The Company purchased approximately 10 acres of land for aggregate
consideration of $500,000 from Tech Center Properties, a general partnership, in
March 1994. The Company constructed an additional facility on the land. A
director of the Company is related to a 50% partner of Tech Center Properties.
 
(11) RESTRUCTURING
 
     In the third quarter of 1996, management initiated a plan to restructure
the Company's manufacturing operations and various administrative functions,
including a change in the manufacturing process and a reorganization of the
sales department. Restructuring charges of $2,127,000 were charged to operations
for the year ended December 31, 1996. The restructuring plan involved the
termination of 142 employees consisting of approximately 90 direct manufacturing
employees and 52 indirect overhead positions. The total severance related costs
approximated $615,000. The Company changed its manufacturing strategy to focus
on high-mix production and developed its Asynchronous Process Manufacturing
(APM) concept. Software development costs unrelated to the Company's new
manufacturing strategy but related to previous manufacturing processes developed
by consultants were written off in the approximate amount of $442,000. As part
of the Company's 1996 restructuring, inventory allowances, totaling
approximately $344,000, were recorded to provide for future losses to be
incurred related to the separation of certain customers who did not meet the
Company's new manufacturing strategy. In addition, due to changes in the
manufacturing process which eliminated the use of various equipment, property,
plant and equipment was written off in the amount of $726,000 in accordance with
SFAS No. 121. The restructuring charge was allocated to cost of goods sold,
selling, general and administrative expenses and impairment of fixed assets in
the amounts of approximately $479,000, $922,000 and $726,000, respectively. The
restructuring has been completed and no liabilities associated with the
restructuring remain at September 30, 1997.

(12) BUSINESS AND CREDIT CONCENTRATIONS
 
     The Company operates in the electronic manufacturing services segment of
the electronics industry. The Company's customers are primarily located in the
United States and sales and accounts receivable are concentrated with customers
principally in the computer peripherals and medical equipment industries. The
Company has a policy to regularly monitor the credit worthiness of its customers
and provides for uncollectible amounts if credit problems arise. Customers may
experience adverse financial difficulties, including those that may result from
industry developments, which may increase bad debt exposure to the Company. In
addition, the electronics manufacturing services industry has experienced
component supply shortages in the past. Should future component shortages occur,
the Company may experience reduced net sales and profitability.
 
     Sales to significant customers as a percentage of total net sales were as
follows:

     The businesses acquired in the CTI Companies business combination focus on
repair and warranty operations which are located at the principal locations of
the overnight delivery hubs of two overnight package transportation providers
and are integrated with the logistics operations of these transportation
providers and participate in joint marketing programs to customers of these
transportation providers. If the Company ceased to be allowed to share
facilities and marketing arrangements with either or both of these major
transportation providers, there can be no assurance that alternate arrangements
could be made by the Company to preserve such advantages and the Company could
lose significant numbers of repair customers. In addition, work stoppages or
other disruptions in the transportation network may occur from time to time
which may affect these transportation providers.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
 
The Board of Directors
Circuit Test, Inc. and Affiliates:
 
     We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of Circuit Test,
Inc. and affiliates as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related combined
statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the
years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1996. These combined financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these combined financial statements
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 combined financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Circuit Test, Inc.
and affiliates as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period
ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
 
     As discussed in note 1(a), the companies included in the combined financial
statements changed in 1996.
 
     Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the combined
financial statements taken as a whole. The combining information in the
accompanying schedules is presented for purposes of additional analysis of the
combined financial statements rather than to present the financial position,
results of operations and cash flows of the individual companies. The combining
information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits
of the combined financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in
all material respects in relation to the combined financial statements taken as
a whole.

                          ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AND 1996
                                  (UNAUDITED)
 
(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
  (a) Description of Business and Principles of Combination
 
     Circuit Test, Inc. and affiliates (the Company) are primarily engaged in
the business of repairing computer components and related peripherals.
 
     The combined financial statements include the financial statements of
Circuit Test, Inc., located in Tampa, Florida, and affiliates Circuit Test
International, L.C., located in Memphis, Tennessee and Airhub Service Group,
L.C., located in Louisville, Kentucky. The financial statements are combined
because of common ownership. All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in combination.
 
     On February 28, 1996, Airhub Service Group, L.C., a Kentucky limited
liability company, was formed with two 50%/50% members. In a tax-free transfer,
the net liabilities of Circuit Test International, L.C.'s Kentucky division were
transferred to Airhub Service Group, L.C. on March 1, 1996. Management has
elected to include Airhub Service Group, L.C. in its 1996 combined financial
statements. The 1995 Airhub Service Group, L.C. financial statements represent
the Kentucky division balances.
 
     The members of a limited liability company have no personal liability
related to the company other than to the extent of their equity balances. Both
members have equal economic and voting interests. Unless previously terminated,
Airhub Services Group, L.C. will continue in existence until February 28, 2026
and Circuit Test International, L.C. will continue in existence until August 13,
2022.
 
     During November 1995, the Company decided to close one of its two Tampa
facilities. This facility was closed in early 1996 upon the expiration of the
Company's facility lease. The Company's affiliate near Boston, Massachusetts,
Disk Maintenance, Inc., was closed in August 1996 subsequent to the expiration
of the facility lease. During 1996, owners of the Company opened a facility in
Brazil.
 
     In connection with the closing of the Tampa facility, the Company incurred
costs of approximately $490,000 and $223,000 in 1996 and 1995, respectively.
 
     In prior years, the financial statements of Disk Maintenance, Inc. were
included in the combined financial statements. Management has elected to omit
Disk Maintenance, Inc. from the 1996 combination due to its closure. The
accompanying 1995 and 1994 combined financial statements have been restated to
reflect the change in reporting entity. Net income (loss) for 1996, 1995 and
1994 would have been $(439,357), $1,124,608 and $468,993, respectively, had Disk
Maintenance, Inc. been included in the combination.
 
  (b) Revenue Recognition
 
     Revenues are recognized when products are shipped.
 
  (c) Accounting Estimates
 
     Management is required to make estimates and assumptions during the
preparation of the combined financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. These estimates and assumptions affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the dates of the combined financial statements. They
also affect the reported amounts of net income. Actual results could differ from
these estimates and assumptions.

  (d) Cash and Cash Equivalent
 
     The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original
maturities of six months or less to be cash equivalents.
 
  (e) Inventory
 
     Inventory consists primarily of computer parts and components and is valued
at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the weighted average
method. In October 1996, the Company entered into an agreement with a third
party which included the purchase of inventory in the amount of $1,188,000, with
payments to be made according to a predetermined schedule during 1997. Such
purchased inventory remaining on hand was approximately $1,028,000 at December
31, 1996 (note 7).
 
  (f) Property and Equipment
 
     Property and equipment are stated at cost. Equipment under capital leases
is stated at the present value of minimum lease payments.
 
     Depreciation on property and equipment is calculated on the straight-line
method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Equipment held under
capital leases and leasehold improvements are amortized straight line over the
shorter of the lease term or estimated useful life of the assets.
 
  (g) Pre-Opening Expenses
 
     Circuit Test International, L.C. began operations in January 1993 and is
amortizing pre-opening expenses, which are included in other assets (net balance
of approximately $8,510 at June 30, 1997, $17,600 at December 31, 1996 and
$36,900 at December 31, 1995) using the straight-line method over 60 months.
 
  (h) Income Taxes
 
     Circuit Test, Inc. has elected to be treated as an "S" Corporation under
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Circuit Test International, L.C. and
Airhub Service Group, L.C. have each elected to be treated as a limited
liability company. Under these elections, the stockholders or partners are
individually responsible for reporting their share of taxable income or loss.
Accordingly, no provision for federal or state income taxes has been reflected
in the accompanying combined financial statements.
 
  (i) Gain-Sharing Bonuses
 
     The Company has a gain-sharing bonus plan whereby employees are rewarded
for attaining quality and profit goals. Gain-sharing bonuses paid for the six
months ended June 30, 1997 and years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 were
$321,026, $309,174, $220,431 and $81,932, respectively.
 
  (j) Reclassifications
 
     Certain 1995 and 1994 amounts have been reclassified to conform with the
1996 presentation.

(7) SUBSEQUENT EVENT
 
     In May 1997, a third party requested to terminate an agreement that the
Company had entered into to purchase certain assets and other rights. A new
agreement was reached that resulted in a reduction in purchase price for the
assets previously purchased. In June 1997, the Company reduced the assets which
are included in inventory and the corresponding payable to the third party by
approximately $1,000,000.
 
     On July 9, 1997, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger
(Agreement) with EFTC Corporation (EFTC). The Agreement provides that EFTC will
acquired the Company through the merger of the Company with and into EFTC
(Merger). In the Merger, subject to adjustment and certain exceptions,
stockholders of Circuit Test, Inc. will have the right to receive 1,858,974
shares of EFTC common stock and the members of Airhub Service Group, L.C. and
Circuit Test International, L.C. will receive approximately $19,500,000 and have
certain liabilities assumed by EFTC. Stockholders and members of the Company
will also participate in an earnout based on future earnings. The obligations of
the Company and EFTC to consummate the Merger are subject to various conditions,
including the condition that the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares
of common stock of EFTC vote to approve the Agreement. If the necessary
stockholder vote is obtained and all other conditions to the Merger are
satisfied, the Merger is expected to be completed on or before October 30, 1997.

                     NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                       SEPTEMBER 30, 1996, 1995 AND 1994
 
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
 
                                      F-41

             NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
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.
 
INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION
 
     The interim consolidated financial statements included herein have been
prepared, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations, although the management of the Company believes that the
disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
Interim financial statements are by necessity somewhat tentative; judgments are
used to estimate interim amounts for items that are normally determinable only
on an annual basis. For example, the effective income tax rate is based on
estimates of annual amounts of taxable income, tax credits and other factors.
 
     The interim period information included herein reflects all adjustments
which are, in the opinion of the management of the Company, necessary for a fair
statement of the results of the respective interim periods. Results of
operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be
expected for an entire year.
 
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

             NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
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.

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
 
     Article Five of the Company's Articles of Incorporation and Article VI of
the Company's Bylaws require the Company to indemnify, to the fullest extent
authorized by applicable law, any person who is or is threatened to be made a
party to any civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative or investigative
proceeding instituted or threatened by reason of the fact that he is or was a
director or officer of the Company or is or was serving at the request of the
Company as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust, other enterprise or employee benefit plan.
 
     Article Four of the Company's Articles of Incorporation provides that, to
the fullest extent permitted by the Colorado Corporation Code or any successor
statute, directors of the Company shall not be liable to the Company or any of
its shareholders for monetary damages caused by a breach of a fiduciary duty by
such director.
 
     Sections 7-109-102 and 103 of the Colorado Business Corporation Act
("CBCA") authorize the indemnification of directors and officers against
liability incurred by reason of being a director or officer and against expenses
(including attorney's fees) judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and
reasonably incurred in connection with any action seeking to establish such
liability, in the case of third-party claims, if the officer or director acted
in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the best Interests of the corporation, and in the case of actions by or in the
right of the corporation, if the officer or director acted in good faith and in
a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best Interest of
the corporation and if such officer or director shall not have been adjudged
liable to the corporation, unless a court otherwise determines. Indemnification
is also authorized with respect to any criminal action or proceeding where the
officer or director also had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was
unlawful.
 
     The above discussion of the Company's Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws and
the CBCA is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of
each of the foregoing.
 
     Reference is made to the Underwriting Agreement, the proposed form of which
is filed as Exhibit 1.1, in which each Underwriter agrees, under certain
circumstances, to indemnify the directors and officers of the Company and
certain other persons against certain civil liabilities.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.
 
     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
registrant, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy
as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a
claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by
the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person
in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

     The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:
 
          (1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act
     of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part
     of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in
     a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or
     (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this
     registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.
 
          (2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
     Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of
     prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to
     the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that
     time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

                             THIRD AMENDMENT TO
                         MASTER AGREEMENT REGARDING
                   ASSET PURCHASE AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

        This Third Amendment ("Amendment") is entered into as of September 5,
1997 with respect to that certain Master Agreement Regarding Asset Purchase and
Related Transactions dated July 15, 1997 (the "Master Agreement") entered into
and between AlliedSignal Avionics, Inc., a Kansas corporation ("Avionics"),
AlliedSignal Inc., a Delaware corporation operating through its Aerospace
Equipment Systems Business Unit ("AES"), and EFTC Corporation, a Colorado
corporation (EFTC"), as amended by that certain First Amendment to Master
Agreement Regarding Asset Purchase and Related Transactions and that certain
Second Amendment to Master Agreement Regarding Asset Purchase and Related
Transactions.  

        The parties hereby agree to amend the Master Agreement as follows: 

        1.      The parties acknowledge and agree that, based on the estimated
valuation of the assets to transfer to EFTC on the AES Asset Transfer Date, a
filing under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as
amended (the "Hart-Scott Act") is required prior to the AES Asset Transfer
Date.  

        2.      Each party agrees to promptly file a notification and report in
accordance with the Hart-Scott Act and shall use its best good faith efforts to
complete the Federal Government's antitrust review of the transactions
contemplated herein under the Hart-Scott Act which includes promptly furnishing
any additional information requested of it under the Hart-Scott Act.

        3.      As a condition precedent to the AES Asset Transfer, the parties
and any other person (as defined in the Hart-Scott Act and the rules and
regulations thereunder) required in connection with the acquisition or the
other transactions contemplated by this Agreement to file a Notification and
Report Form for Certain Mergers and Acquisitions with the Department of Justice
and Federal Trade Commission pursuant to Title II of the Hart-Scott Act shall
have made such filing and the applicable waiting period with respect to each
such filing (including any extension thereof by reason of a request for
additional information) shall have expired or been terminated.

        4.      AES and Avionics on the one hand and EFTC on the other hand
agree to share equally the cost of the filing fee under the Hart-Scott Act. 

        This Amendment shall not otherwise change, amend, limit or affect any
other provision of the Agreement, which shall continue in full force and
effect.  Any capitalized terms used in this Agreement which are not defined
herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them under the Master Agreement.

make, use or sell any product, or part therefor, in any country, provided,
however, that the payments required by this License Agreement to be made by

                         3.  Delivery of Technical Data

                 3.1    Within thirty (30) days of the Avionic's Personal

<PAGE>   4
readable form and source code and supporting documentation to the extent
available, listed on Schedule A.

         .       3.3    Licensor agrees to provide such additional
information as may be reasonably necessary or desirable for Licensee to
continue the business of manufacturing electronic assemblies as previously
conducted by AES and Avionics, provided such additional information is in
existence and in a tangible medium as of the Effective Date.

                                  4.  Warranty

                 4.1    Licensor warrants that the Technical Information and
Technical Data provided to Licensee hereunder is the same as that which is used
by AES and Avionics respectfully as of the Effective Date in their manufacture
of electronic assemblies, and that to the best of Licensor's knowledge
Licensee's use of Technical Data and Technical Information in a manner
previously utilized by AES and Avionics prior to the Effective Date hereof will
not violate any third party rights in existence as of the Effective Date, but
Licensor does not make any other warranty, either expressed or implied,
including warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose
and shall have no liability with respect to the Technical Information or
Technical Data, or the use thereof; nor does Licensor assume any responsibility
or make any warranty with respect to electronic assemblies or Licensed Product,
or parts therefor, manufactured, sold or used under this License Agreement.

                 4.2    With respect to electronic assemblies manufactured,
sold, or used under this License Agreement that are not Licensed Product,
Licensee shall hold Licensor harmless from any patent infringement liability
and product liability arising from such electronic assemblies and shall
maintain appropriate product liability insurance to cover such electronic
assemblies.

                 4.3    With respect to Licensed Product, all indemnity shall
be governed by the purchase order under which the Licensed Product was ordered
from Licensee.

                 4.4    If a part of the data delivered hereunder does not
meet the warranty specified above, Licensor will, upon discovery of such
discrepancy or upon notification thereof by Licensee correct the discrepancy in
that part of the data by supplying amended or additional data.

                 4.5    All Technical Information and Technical Data is
supplied in confidence solely for the use of Licensee under this License
Agreement and Licensee agrees to handle the Technical Information and Technical
Data in the same manner that it handles its own proprietary information, but
shall use at least reasonable care in keeping the Technical Information and
Technical Data confidential.  Licensee agrees: (a) not to use or permit use of
any Technical Data or Technical Information except in accordance with the
licenses herein granted; and (b) not to disclose any Technical Data or
Technical Information to others (including affiliates of Licensee) except to
the extent





                                       4
<PAGE>   5
such disclosure is reasonably necessary in connection with Licensee's
operations under this License Agreement and only then if such disclosure is
subject to the same limitations on the recipient as on Licensee hereunder; and
except as required by law or legal process.  The obligations under this Section
4.5 shall not apply to (i) information already known to Licensee prior to
receipt from Licensor; (ii) information in the public domain including
information that can be reverse engineered from a Licensed Product; (iii)
information received from a third-party without similar restrictions; or (iv)
information developed independently by or for Licensee.

                                5.  Compensation

                 5.1.   Licensee shall pay to Licensor a nonrefundable,
noncreditable down payment of one million two hundred fifty thousand dollars
($1,250,000.00) to be paid pursuant to the terms of the Master Agreement.

                 5.2    For a period starting with the Effective Date and
ending on December 31, 2001, for all electronic assemblies and parts therefor
made for a customer other than AlliedSignal at the Licensee Subleased Facility
or the Licensee Tucson Facility, or at any successor Licensee facility within
fifty (50) miles of either of these Facilities, Licensee shall pay to Licensor
a running royalty of one percent (1.0%) of Gross Revenue for all such
electronic assemblies to be paid on or before the twentieth (20th) day of the
month following the calendar quarter covered thereby.

                 5.3    With respect to customers other than AlliedSignal,
along with the quarterly running royalty payments under Section 5.2, Licensee
shall provide to Licensor a report showing for the period covered by the
payment: (a) a list of all separately identifiable types of electronic
assemblies delivered, leased or otherwise disposed of; (b) the quantity of such
electronic assemblies of each type sold, leased or otherwise disposed of; (c)
the Gross Revenue for electronic assemblies of each type and, (d) the
quantities of, and Gross Revenue for, parts sold, leased or otherwise disposed
of, identified by the electronic assembly type, and (e) the derivation of the
amount payable to Licensor from the foregoing information.  Licensor agrees to
keep such reports confidential even as to other AlliedSignal businesses, unless
otherwise requested by Licensee.

                 5.4    In addition to the obligation to pay royalties under
Section 5.2, Licensee shall pay such royalties for all electronic assemblies
shipped to customers other than AlliedSignal by December 31, 2001 for which
payment has not been received by Licensor.  This payment shall be made on
January 20, 2002.  The parties agree that the licenses granted by Licensor to
Licensee hereunder will be fully-paid upon receipt and acceptance by Licensor
of all royalty payments due by January 20, 2002 under this License Agreement,
and a final corresponding report.

                 5.5.   Licensee shall pay interest to Licensor at a rate of
two percent (2%) over the prime per annum interest rate quoted by Chase
Manhattan Bank on any and all amounts that are at any time overdue and payable
to Licensor under this License





                                       5
<PAGE>   6
Agreement, such interest being calculated on each such overdue amount from the
date when such amount became due to the date of actual payment thereof.  The
payment of such interest shall not replace any of Licensor's other rights under
this License Agreement resulting from Licensee's default by failure to pay any
amounts due hereunder.

                 5.6    All amounts payable to Licensor under this License
Agreement are to be paid in U.S.A. currency.

                 5.7    Licensee shall keep such records that will enable,
under generally accepted accounting principles, the royalties due hereunder to
be accurately determined.  Licensor shall have the right to select an
independent representative or accountant to inspect Licensee's records once a
year on reasonable notice and during regular business hours to verify
Licensee's reports and payments.  Such inspections shall be at the expense of
Licensor unless a variation or error exceeding Ten Thousand U.S. Dollars (U.S.
$10,000.00) of royalty due, is discovered in the course of the inspection,
whereupon, Licensee shall reimburse Licensor for the expense.

                 5.8    All payments to be made to Licensor shall be made by
wire transfer to:

                                  Mellon Bank

                                  Advice-AE-O-144

                 5.9    In the event that Licensee is terminated for default
under the Long Term Agreement, or any purchase order thereunder, between
AlliedSignal and Licensee relating to Licensed Product and upon written request
by Licensor, Licensee shall provide to Licensor any and all improvements and
modifications Licensee has made to Technical Information and Technical Data
relating to Licensee's manufacture of Licensed Product for AES and Avionics and
Licensor shall have a royalty free, irrevocable license, with right to
sublicense to AlliedSignal and to AlliedSignal Avionics Inc., to use all of
these improvements and modifications strictly to make or have made Licensed
Product for AlliedSignal.  In the event Licensor exercises rights pursuant to
this Section 5.10, any remaining obligations of Licensee under Section 5 shall
automatically terminate.  Licensor agrees that its obligations with respect to
all information provided under this Section 5.10 shall be commensurate with
Licensee's obligations under Section 4.5 hereof.

Each party's sole and exclusive remedy for any alleged breach of this License
Agreement shall be an action for monetary damages and/or specific performance,
except that a party may seek injunctive relief for breach of Section 4.3 of
this License Agreement.  Failure on the part of either party to notify the
other party of any violation of this License Agreement shall not constitute a
waiver of that party's right to pursue the stipulated remedies hereof because
of such violation or any like or different subsequent violation.

                 6.3    Expiration of this License Agreement shall not excuse
Licensee from paying Licensor all royalties earned pursuant to Article 5 of
this License Agreement prior to expiration, and all royalties thus earned, but
unpaid, shall immediately become due and payable.

                 6.4    Licensor agrees that the licenses granted to Licensee
hereunder shall not, under any circumstances, be subject to revocation or
termination for any reason by Licensor.

                       ACCOUNTS PAYABLE SERVICE AGREEMENT

         THIS ACCOUNTS PAYABLE SERVICE AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") dated as of
August 11, 1997 is entered into by and between AlliedSignal Avionics Inc., a
Kansas corporation ("Avionics") and EFTC Corporation, a Colorado corporation
("EFTC") with reference to the following facts:

         WHEREAS, Avionics, AlliedSignal, Inc. operating through its Aerospace
Equipment Systems Business Unit, and EFTC have entered into a MASTER AGREEMENT
REGARDING ASSET PURCHASE AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS  dated July 15, 1997, as
amended, providing, in part, for the sale of certain assets related to the
manufacture of electronic circuit card assemblies to Avionics (the "Master
Agreement"); and

         WHEREAS, Avionics and EFTC have entered into a LONG TERM PURCHASE
AGREEMENT dated July 15, 1997 (LTA no. R20046) in which EFTC agrees to provide
electronic circuit card assemblies to Avionics;

         WHEREAS, in order to provide for an orderly transition of the business
sold, Avionics and EFTC entered into a TRANSITION SERVICES AGREEMENT dated
August 11, 1997 providing for certain transition services to be provided to
EFTC by Avionics and providing for the use of Avionics material resources
planning system ("Mac Pac") for a transitional period;


         WHEREAS, in order for Mac Pac to function properly, purchase orders
for materials and related invoice payments will need to be processed through
Mac Pac and the parties desire to enter into this Agreement to set forth the
terms and conditions by which Avionics will provide support to EFTC in this
regard.

         NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration the receipt and
sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

         1.      Accounts Payable Service.  This Agreement applies to the
processing of orders for materials required in connection with the manufacture
of goods for Avionics at the EFTC Ft. Lauderdale site only and for no other
purpose.  The process by which materials will be ordered and paid for during
the Term is as follows:

                 1.1      Mac Pac will generate order requests based on
         production forecast, stock in hand and projected lead times;

                 1.2      EFTC will collect such order requests and promptly
         process them and place orders as directed by Mac Pac through the Mac
         Pac system in coordination with Avionics;

                 1.3      Avionics will invoice EFTC for the cost of the
         materials at actual cost and such payments are due net 45 days from
         EFTC's receipt of invoice;




                                      1
<PAGE>   2
                 1.4      Avionics will timely pay the material vendor based on
         the information provided through the Mac Pac system.

         2.      Term.  The term of this Agreement will commence as of the date
hereof and continue for such time as EFTC continues to have the use of the Mac
Pac system under the Transition Services Agreement.  The parties acknowledge
and agree that they intend for such services to extend for up to nine months
from the date hereof.  This agreement may be extended by mutual agreement in
writing signed by both parties.

         3.      Invoicing.   Avionics will invoice EFTC for material utilized
by the EFTC Florida operations on a daily basis.  The invoice is triggered by
receipt of a part into Procurement D (purchasing module within Mac Pac).  The
invoice will be generated based on a report generated from MacPac.  The invoice
will include the following information: purchase order number, part number,
line item number, quantity received, unit price, extended price, date received,
vendor name, vendor number and payment terms.  Invoices will be submitted to
the following address:

                                EFTC Corporation
                              7251 West 4th Street
                               Greeley, CO 80631
                              Customer Code 086015
                            Attention Olivia Rengal

         4.      Payment Terms.  All payments are due net 45 days from EFTC's
receipt of invoice.  Remittance shall be paid by check and sent to the
following lock box location:

                             AlliedSignal Aerospace
                                  PO Box 93439
                            Chicago, IL  60673-3439

The invoice number must be indicated on the remittance check.  In the event
EFTC does not timely pay such invoices, Avionics may at its discretion either:
(i) require EFTC to pay for all materials ordered through the Mac Pac system in
advance or (ii) offset amounts due from EFTC against any amounts owed to EFTC.

         5.       Limitations on Part Numbers.  For the period of time that
EFTC is operating within MacPac no additional part numbers shall be added into
the system unless the part number is an Avionics part number required for
Avionics assemblies.

         6.      Limitation of Liability.  Avionics is providing this service
as a convenience to EFTC for a limited period in connection with the transition
of operations and Avionics is not in the business of providing such services to
third parties.  Avionics makes no representation or warranty of any kind
regarding the Mac Pac system or any data contained in the Mac Pac system and
the provisions of this Agreement will not be construed as such.  EFTC agrees
not to hold Avionics responsible for any particular result or for the failure
of the system to operate as planned.  EFTC will indemnify,





                                       2
<PAGE>   3
defend and hold Avionics harmless from and against any and all claims against
Avionics arising from or in connection with the services it is performing
hereunder.  EFTC acknowledges and agrees that it is responsible for the payment
of the materials ordered and that Avionics is merely acting as a paying agent
of EFTC and does not have privity of contract or responsibility to the material
vendors.

         7.      Arbitration.

                 7.1      Any controversy, claim or dispute arising out of or

the determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate
(collectively "Dispute"), shall be determined by arbitration in Phoenix,

procedures of the AAA.

                 7.4      Any party may seek from any court interim or
provisional relief that is necessary to protect the rights or property of that
party, pending the appointment of the arbitrator or pending the arbitrator's
determination of the merits of the controversy.

                 7.5      The parties shall bear their own costs and expenses,
including attorneys' fees, but the arbitrator may, in the award, allocate all
of the administrative costs of the arbitration, including the fees of the
arbitrator and mediator, against the party who did not prevail.

                 7.6      The arbitration award shall be in writing and shall
specify the factual and legal bases for the award.  Judgment on the award may
be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

                                                                  March 10, 1994



                       CONVERTIBLE STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT

                 To  Subscribe for and Purchase Common Stock of
                         ELECTRONIC FAB TECHNOLOGY CORP.

                              VOID AFTER MARCH 9, 1999


        THIS CERTIFIES that, for value received, [name and address] or
registered assigns, is entitled to subscribe for and purchase from Electronic
Fab Technology Corp., a Colorado corporation whose offices are located at 7251
West 4th Street, Greeley, Colorado 80634 (the "Company"), at the price of $9.00
per share (as from time to time adjusted as provided below, the "Warrant
Price"), at any time and from time to time but not earlier than March 10, 1995
(the "Commencement Date") or later than March 9, 1999 (the "Expiration Date"),
up to [number of shares] fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock,
$.01 par value, of the Company ("Common Stock"), upon the terms and conditions
hereinafter set forth.

        Section 1.      Exercise of Warrant

        (a)  Manner of Exercise

        Subject to the provisions of Section 11 hereof, this Warrant may be
exercised, at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part, beginning on
the Commencement Date and ending at 5:00 PM in Denver, Colorado on the
Expiration Date, by the holder hereof (hereinafter referred to as the
"Warrantholder"), by completing and signing the subscription form attached
hereto, surrendering this Warrant at the office of the Company in Denver,
Colorado (or at such other agency or office of the Company in the United States
as it may designate by notice in writing to the Warrantholder at the address of
the Warrantholder appearing on the books of the Company), and tendering to the
Company the Warrant Price for each share being purchased by certified or
official bank check made payable to the Company.  At 5:01 p.m. on the
Expiration Date, this Warrant, to the extent not previously exercised or
converted, shall become void, and all rights to acquire shares of Common Stock
hereunder shall thereupon cease.  A certificate or certificates for the shares
of Common Stock purchased upon exercise, registered in the name of the
Warrantholder, shall be delivered to the Warrantholder within a reasonable
time, not exceeding ten business days, after this Warrant shall have been so
exercised; and, unless this Warrant has expired, a new Warrant covering the
number of shares (except a remaining fractional share of common Stock), if any,
with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised shall
also be issued to the Warrantholder within such time. The Warrantholder shall
for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of the number of
shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant has been properly exercised from
the date on which this Warrant was surrendered and payment of the Warrant Price
was made as provided above, irrespective of the date of delivery of such
certificate or certificates, except that, if the date of
<PAGE>   2
such surrender and payment is a date on which the stock transfer books of the
Company are closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of
such shares at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the
stock transfer books are open. The Company will at no time close its transfer
books against the transfer of the shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon
the exercise of this Warrant in any manner which materially interferes with the
timely exercise of this Warrant. 

     (B) FRACTIONAL SHARES

     No fractional shares shall be issued upon exercise of this Warrant. If any 
fractional interest in a share of Common Stock would, except for the provisions
of this Section 1, be delivered upon any such exercise, the Company shall pay
to the Warrantholder an amount in case equal to the current fair market value
of such fractional interest as determined in good faith by the Board of
Directors of the Company.

     (C) ISSUE TAX

     The issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon exercise of
this Warrant shall be made without a charge to the Warrantholder for any
issuance  tax in respect thereof, provided that the Company shall not be
required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer
involved in the  issuance and delivery of any certificate in a name other than
that of the Warrantholder.

 
     SECTION 2.     ADJUSTMENT OF NUMBER OF SHARES 

     Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Price for any stock dividend or
distribution or any subdivision or combination of the outstanding shares of the
Common Stock as provided in Section 3, the Warrantholder shall thereafter be
entitled to purchase, at the Warrant Price resulting from such adjustment, the
number of shares (calculated to the nearest tenth of a share) obtained by
multiplying the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by
the number of shares purchasable pursuant hereto immediately prior to such
adjustment and dividing the product thereof by the Warrant Price resulting from
such adjustment. 

SECTION 3.      ADJUSTMENTS OF WARRANT PRICE

(a)     DIVIDENDS

     In case the Company shall declare a dividend or made any other
distribution upon any stock of the Company payable in Common Stock the Common
Stock so distributed shall be deemed to have been issued in a subdivision of
outstanding shares as provided in Section 3(b). In case the Company shall
declare a dividend or make any other distribution upon any stock of the Company
payable in options to purchase Common Stock ("Options") or securities
convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock ("Convertible Securities") or
other securities, the Options, Convertible Securities or other securities so
distributed, together with the shares of Common Stock with respect to which
they were distributed, shall be deemed to have been issued in a
reclassification of outstanding shares as provided in Section 3(c).

     (b)     SUBDIVISION OR COMBINATION OF STOCK

     In case the Company shall at any time subdivide its outstanding shares of 
Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Warrant Price in effect 
immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately reduced, and 
conversely, in case the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company shall
be combined into a smaller number of shares, the Warrant Price in effect 
immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased.

     (c)     REORGANIZATION, RECLASSIFICATION, CONSOLIDATION, MERGER OR SALE

     If any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of 
the Company or any consolidation or merger of the Company with another 
corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all the Company's assets to
another corporation shall be effected in such a way that holders of Common 
Stock shall be entitled to receive securities (including Common Stock) or the 
property (including cash) with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, then
as a condition of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger 
or sale, lawful and adequate provisions shall be made whereby the Warrantholder
shall thereafter have the right to receive upon the exercise of this Warrant, 
in addition to or in lieu of (as the case may be) the shares of Common Stock of
the Company immediately theretofore issuable upon such exercise, such
securities (including Common Stock) or other property (including cash) as may 
be 

 
                                      -2-
<PAGE>   3
issued or paid in such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation or merger
or as a result of such sale with respect to or in exchange for a number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common 
Stock immediately theretofore so issuable had such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale not taken place, and in any such
case appropriate provision shall be made so that the provisions hereof
(including, without limitation provisions, for adjustments of the Warrant Price)
shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be, in relation to securities
or other property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant. 
The Company will not effect any such consolidation or merger unless prior to the
consummation thereof the resulting or surviving corporation (if other than the
Company) in such consolidation or merger shall assume, by written instrument
executed and mailed or delivered to the Warrantholder at the last address of the
Warrantholder appearing on the books of the Company, the obligation to deliver
to the Warrantholder, upon exercise  or conversion of this Warrant, such 
securities or other assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions,  the
Warrantholder may be entitled to receive.

        (d)     NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENT

        Upon any adjustment of the Warrant Price, the Company shall give
written notice thereof, by first-class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the
Warrantholder at the address of the Warrantholder as shown on the books of the
Company, which notice shall state the Warrant Price resulting from such
adjustment and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of
the Warrants following such adjustment, setting forth in reasonable detail the 
method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based.

        Section 4.      CONVERSION

        At any time and from time to time, beginning on the Commencement Date
and ending at 5:00 p.m. in Denver, Colorado on the Expiration Date, this
Warrant may by converted, in whole or in part, into a number of shares of fully
paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock equal to N in the formula:

        N       =       E -     P X E
                                -----
                                  C

where

        E       =       the total number of shares then issuable upon exercise
                        of the Warrant or, if less than all of the Warrant is
                        being converted, the number of shares then issuable
                        upon exercise of the portion of the Warrant being 
                        converted:

        P       =       the Warrant Price in effect on the date on conversion;
                        and

        C       =       the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date
                        of conversion.

The fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of conversion shall equal
the average  "reference price" of the Common Stock on the 10 trading days
immediately preceding the date of conversion.  The "reference price" of the
Common Stock on each such trading day shall equal the closing price of the
Common Stock on the principal exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed
or, if the Common Stock is not then listed on an exchange, as reported by
NASDAQ, or, if the closing price of the Common Stock is not then reported by
NASDAQ, the average of the bid and asked prices of the Common Stock as reported
by NASDAQ or, if the Common Stock is not then included on NASDAQ, by any other
recognized source selected by the Company.  In order to exercise the 
conversion right, the Warrantholder shall complete and sign the conversion form
attached hereto and surrender this Warrant at the office of the Company in 
Greeley, Colorado (or at such other agency or office as the Company may have 
designated as provided in Section 1(a) and the date of such surrender shall for
all purposes be the date of conversion.  The Company shall deliver stock 
certificates (and a new Warrant, if applicable) to the Warrantholder, and the 
Warrantholder shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of the shares
issuable upon conversion, at the times and in the manner provided in Section 
1(a) as though this Warrant had been exercised for such shares on the date of 
conversion.  If on the date of conversion the Warrantholder would be entitled
to receive upon the exercise of this warrant, in addition to or in lieu of
shares of Common Stock, securities (including Common Stock) or other property 
(including cash) as provided in Section 3(c), the provisions of this Section 
4 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to such securities or other property.

        SECTION 5.      STOCK TO BE RESERVED

        The Company will at all times reserve and keep available out of its
authorized Common Stock or its treasury shares, solely for the purpose of
issuance upon the exercise or conversion of this Warrant as herewith provided,
such number of shares of Common Stock as shall then be issuable upon the
exercise of this Warrant. The Company covenants that all shares of Common
Stock which shall be issued upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant shall
be duly and validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable and free from all
taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof, and, without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company covenants that it will
from time to time take all such action as may be required to ensure that the
par value per share of the Common Stock is at all times equal to or less than
the effective Warrant Price. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts
to take all such action as may be necessary to ensure that all such shares of
Common Stock may be so issued without violation of any applicable law or
regulation, or of any requirements of any national securities exchange upon
which the Common Stock of the Company may be listed the Company has not
granted and will not grant any right of first refusal with respect to shares
issuable upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant, and there are no
preemptive rights associated with such shares.

or issuable upon exercise or conversion of the Warrants, all securities other
than Common Stock issued or issuable upon exercise or conversion of the Warrants
as a result of the provisions of Section 3 hereof, any additional shares of

in respect of any such shares of Common Stock or other securities or in
connection with any subdivision or combination thereof, and any other securities
received in lieu of or in exchange for any such shares of Common Stock or other
securities upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant or in connection with any
capital reorganization, reclassification, merger or consolidation; provided,
however, that any shares of Common Stock or other securities that have been sold
pursuant to an effective registration statement pursuant to this Section or

Securities Act and the Regulations, without limitation as to amount, shall cease
to be Registrable Securities.

        (b)     DEMAND REGISTRATION

        Subject to the qualifications set forth in this Section 6(b), a
Majority of the Holders shall have the right, at any time and from time to
time, but not earlier than the Commencement Date or later than the Expiration
Date, to make


                                     -4-

<PAGE>   5
written request of the Company to register under the Securities Act and the
Regulations all or any portion of the Registrable Securities.  Promptly after
receipt of a request for registration pursuant to this Section 6(b), the
Company shall notify all other Holders of such request and shall include in the
registration effected hereunder such Registrable Securities as any other Holder
shall request within 15 days after such notice.  As soon as reasonably
practicable after receipt of the original request, the Company shall file with
the SEC a registration statement for the registration of the Subject Stock for
sale to the public and use its reasonable best efforts to cause such
registration statement to become effective.  The Company is obligated to effect
only one such registration pursuant to this Section 6(b).

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company shall furnish to each of the
Holders a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company
stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the
Company it would be significantly disadvantageous to the Company and its
shareholders for such a registration statement to be filed (other than as a
result of the time and expense involved in the registration process), the
Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than
90 days after receipt of the request to effect such a registration; provided,
however, that the Company may not utilize this right more than once; and
provided, further, that the Holder who made such written request to effect such
registration, may, at any time in writing during the period of the deferral,
withdraw the request for such registration and thereby preserve the right
provided in this Section 6(b) to request such registration on a subsequent
occasion.

     At any time prior to the effectiveness of a registration statement filed 
pursuant to this Section 6(b), the Holders of a majority of the Subject Shares
covered thereby may instruct the Company to withdraw the registration
statement.  If following any such withdrawal, the Holders shall reimburse the
Company for all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it in connection with the
registration, including expenses incurred in withdrawing the registration
statement, the Holders shall have the right to require the Company to file a
registration statement under this Section 6(b) on a subsequent occasion.

     In connection with any offering of Subject Stock registered pursuant to
this Section 6(b), the Company agrees not to effect any public sale or 
distribution of Common Stock for the seven-day period preceding, and the 90-day
period beginning on, the effective date of such registration.

     (c)     PIGGYBACK REGISTRATION

     If, on or before the sixth anniversary of the Commencement Date, the
Company proposes; to register any of its securities with the SEC under the
Securities Act (other than pursuant to a request under Section 6(b) and other
than on a registration statement of Form S-4, 5-8 or other form on which
Registrable Securities cannot be registered for sale to the public), the Company
shall promptly give written notice thereof to the Holders.  If, within 15 days
after receipt of such notice, any Holder submits a written request to the
Company specifying the amount of Registrable Securities that the Holder wishes
to include in such registration, the Company shall include the Registrable
Securities specified in such request in such registration statement.  The
Holders shall be entitled to a total of two registrations pursuant to this
Section 6(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the registration statement that
the Company proposes to file relates to an underwritten public offering of its
securities, and if the lead underwriter in such offering advises the Company
that, in its opinion, all of the shares of Subject Stock cannot reasonably be
included in the offering without adversely affecting the Company's ability to
sell the securities it proposes to offer, the number of shares of Subject Stock
that the Company is obligated to include in such registration shall be reduced
to the number of shares that the lead underwriter determines in good faith may
be included in the offering.  If the number of shares of Subject Stock included
in the offering is so reduced, the reduction shall apply pro rata to all Holders
who have requested that Registrable Securities be included in proportion to the
numbers of shares specified in their respective requests.  The Company shall not
be required to complete any registration commenced under this Section 6(c) if it
decides for any reason not to proceed with the offering of the securities it
proposed to register.

     (d)     HOLDBACK AGREEMENT

     The Holders agree not to effect any public sale or public distribution of
equity securities of the Company, or any securities convertible into or
exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, during the seven days prior to
and the 90-day period beginning on the effective date of any underwritten
registration in which Registrable Securities are included (except as part of
such underwritten registration) unless the underwriters managing the registered
public offering otherwise agree.

                                     -5-

<PAGE>   6
        (e)     PREPARATION OF DOCUMENTS

        Prior to filing any registration statement, or any amendments or
supplements thereto, which includes any Registrable Securities, the Company
will furnish to counsel for each Holder who has included Registrable Securities
in such registration statement copies of all documents proposed to be filed,
which documents will be subject to the timely review of such counsel.  Each
Holder shall be responsible for all fees and expenses of its own counsel.  The
Company shall allow each such Holder to conduct any desired due diligence in
connection with such review, subject to receipt of a reasonably satisfactory
confidentiality agreement from such Holder.  Each Holder agrees to provide all
such information and materials and take all action as may be reasonably
required in order to permit the Company to comply with all applicable
requirements of the SEC and to obtain any desired acceleration of the effective
date of such registration statement.

        (f)     COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY
        
        In connection with any registration of Subject Stock pursuant to this
Section 6, the Company shall (i) file such pre-effective amendments, provide
such supplemental information to the SEC and take such other steps as may
reasonably be required to cause the registration statement to become effective;
(ii) furnish to each Holder of Subject Stock such number of copies of the
registration statement and each amendment thereto, and of each preliminary and
final prospectus and each supplement thereto, as such Holder may reasonably
request in order to effect the offering and sale of the Subject Stock, but only
while the Company shall be required under the provisions hereof to cause the
Registration Statement to remain current; (iii) use its best efforts to qualify
the Subject Stock covered by the registration statement for offer and sale
under the blue sky or securities laws of such jurisdictions as any such Holder
shall reasonably request; (iv) keep each such Holder advised in writing as to
the status of each registration throughout the registration process; (v) use
its best efforts to keep the registration statement current and effective for a
period of at least 90 days after its original effective date; (vi) prepare and
file with the SEC such post-effective amendments and supplements to the
registration statement and the related prospectus as may be necessary to comply
with the provisions of the Securities Act and the Regulations with respect to
the disposition of all securities covered by the Registration Statement; (vii)
use its best efforts to cause all Subject Stock to be listed on each securities
exchange or automated quotation system on which the Common Stock is then
listed; (viii) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Subject Stock and
a CUSIP number for all Subject Stock, in each case not later than the effective
date of the registration; and (ix) otherwise comply with the
Securities Act and the Regulations.

        (g)     EXPENSES

        With respect to any registration of Subject Stock pursuant to this
Section 6, except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 6(b), the Company
will pay all expenses incident to the performance of its obligations hereunder,
including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, fees and
expenses of compliance with state securities or blue sky laws, printing or
copying expenses, messenger, telephone and delivery expenses, and fees and
disbursements of its counsel and independent certified public accountants. 
Each Holder including Registrable Securities in any registration pursuant to
this Section 6 will be responsible for all stock transfer taxes and
underwriter's or broker's discounts and commissions relating to the Registrable
Securities sold by such Holder, all internal management, personnel and
administrative costs of such Holder and the fees and expenses of counsel, if
any, retained by such Holder in connection with the registration.

        (h)     INDEMNIFICATION

        The Company will indemnify, to the maximum extent permitted by law,
each Holder who includes Registrable Securities in any registration pursuant to
this Section 6, its officers and directors and each person who controls such
Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims,
damages, liabilities and expenses (or actions, proceedings or settlements in
respect thereof) arising out of any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus or
preliminary prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in which
Subject Stock is included pursuant to this Section 6, including any exhibits or
materials incorporated by reference therein, or any omission or alleged
omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein (in the
case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
made) or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except
insofar as the same are (i) caused by or contained in any information with
respect to such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder for
use therein or (ii) caused by the Holder's failure to deliver a copy of the
prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto after the Company has
furnished the Holder with a sufficient number of copies thereof.  In connection
with an underwritten offering, the 

                                     -6-

<PAGE>   7
Company will indemnify the underwriters thereof, their officers and directors
and each person who controls such underwriters (within the meaning of the
Securities Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the
indemnification of the holders of the Subject Stock.

        Each Holder who includes Registrable Securities in any registration
pursuant to this Section 6 will indemnify, to the maximum extent permitted by
law, the Company, its officers and directors, and each person who controls the
Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims,
damages, liabilities and expenses or actions, proceedings or settlements in
respect thereof) arising out of (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus or
preliminary prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in which such
Registrable Securities are included, including any exhibits or materials
incorporated by reference therein, or any omission or alleged omission to state
therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, insofar and only
insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information with respect
to such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder for use
therein or (ii) the Holder's failure to deliver a copy of the prospectus or any
amendments or supplements thereto after the Company has furnished the Holder
with a sufficient number of copies thereof.  In connection with an underwritten
offering, each such Holder will indemnify the underwriters thereof, their
officers and directors and each person who controls such underwriters (within
the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided above with
respect to the indemnification of the Company.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the liability of any Holder pursuant to this Section shall not exceed an amount
equal to the proceeds of the sale of Registrable Securities sold pursuant to
such registration statement that are received by or for the benefit of such
Holder.

        Any person entitled to indemnification under this Section 6(b) will (i)
give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect
to which it seeks indemnification and (ii) unless in such indemnified party's
reasonable judgment (based on written advice of counsel) a conflict of interest
between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist or arise with
respect to such claim which would prevent the same counsel from representing
both parties, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such
claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party.  If such
defense is assumed, the indemnifying party will not be responsible for
attorneys' fees subsequently incurred by any indemnified party, but, if the
counsel retained by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified parties
also represents the indemnifying party in the action, each indemnified party
shall be entitled to participate in (but not control) the defense of the
claim with counsel selected and compensated by it.  An indemnifying party who is
not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim will not be
obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties
indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in
the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party (based on written advice of
counsel) a conflict of interest may exist or arise between such indemnified
party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim
which would prevent the same counsel from representing both parties.

        If the indemnification provided for in this subsection 6(h) is legally
unavailable to an indemnified party hereunder in respect of any losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions, proceedings or
settlements in respect thereof) referred to herein, then the indemnifying
party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the
amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses,
claims, damages, liabilities, expenses, actions, proceedings or settlements in
such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of indemnifying
party and the indemnified party.  The relative fault of the indemnifying and
indemnified parties shall be determined by reference to, among other things,
whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a
material fact, has been made by, or relates to information supplied by, the
indemnifying or the indemnified party or parties, and the parties' relative
intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent
such action.  The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses,
claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to
include any reasonable legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by
such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding.  The parties
agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this
paragraph were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of
allocation which does not take into account the relative fault of the parties
as described above.  No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within
the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to
contribute from any person who is not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation.

        The indemnification and contribution obligations set forth in this
Section 6(h) shall survive the termination or expiration of this Warrant.

<PAGE>   8
        (l)     Limitation

        Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the Company shall not be
required to include in any registration hereunder the Registrable Securities of
any Holder who could, at the time such registration becomes effective, sell all
Registrable Securities owned by such Holder in a single three-month period
pursuant to Rule 144 of the Regulations.

        SECTION 7.      NOTICES OF RECORD DATES

        In the event that the Company shall propose

        (1)     the establishment of a record date or the closing of the
                transfer books of the Company for the purpose of determining the
                holders of any class of securities who are entitled to receive
                any dividend or other distribution, or any right to subscribe
                for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any
                class or any other securities or property, or to receive any
                right to sell shares of stock of any class or any other right,
                or

        (2)     any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification
                or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company or any
                transfer of all or substantially all the assets of the Company
                to or consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any
                other corporation or entity, or

        (3)     any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or
                winding-up of the Company,

then and in each such event the Company will give notice to the Warrantholder
specifying (i) the record date or the date such transfer books are to be closed
for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right and stating the amount
and character of such dividend, distribution or right and (ii) the date on
which any such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, transfer,
consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is to take place,
and the time, if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of record of
Common Stock will be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for
securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization,
reclassification, recapitalization, transfer, consolidation, merger,
dissolution, liquidation or winding-up. Such notice shall be given at least 10
days and not more than 90 days prior to the date therein specified, and such
notice shall state that the action in question or the record date is subject to
the effectiveness of a registration statement under the Securities Act or to a
favorable vote of stockholders, if either is required.

        SECTION 8.      NO STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS OR LIABILITIES

        This Warrant shall not entitle the Warrantholder to any voting rights
or other rights as a stockholder of the Company. No provision hereof, in the
absence of affirmative action by the Warrantholder to purchase shares of Common
Stock, and no mere enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the
Warrantholder shall give rise to any liability of such Warrantholder for the
Warrant Price or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is
asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

        SECTION 9.      LOST, STOLEN, MUTILATED OR DESTROYED WARRANT            

        If this Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company
shall, on such terms as to indemnity as it may reasonably impose (which shall,
in the case of a mutilated Warrant, include the surrender thereof), issue a new
Warrant of like denomination and tenor as the Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated
or destroyed. Any such new Warrant shall constitute an original contractual
obligation of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated
or destroyed Warrant shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.

        SECTION 10.     NOTICES

        All notices, requests and other communications required or permitted
to be given or made hereunder shall be in writing, and shall be personally

requested, postage prepaid, to the addresses of the parties given above or to

notice is sent by Federal Express, the second business day after such notice is
sent by mail in accordance with this

        (a)     SECURITIES LAW RESTRICTIONS

        Neither this Warrant nor the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the

Neither this Warrant nor the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise
or conversion of this Warrant may be sold, transferred, hypothecated, assigned,

Company by the Warrantholder, into a certificate or certificates evidencing the
right to acquire upon exercise or conversion the same aggregate number of

terminated only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which
enforcement of such change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought.

        SECTION 13.     SEVERABILITY

        If one or more provisions of this Warrant are held to be unenforceable
under applicable law, such provision shall be excluded from this Warrant, and

                                  INTRODUCTION

       1.1    Establishment.  Effective December 22, 1993, EFTC Corporation, a
Colorado corporation, formerly named "Electronic Fab Technology Corp.,"
(hereinafter referred to, together with its Affiliated Corporations (as defined
in subsection 2.1(a)) as the "Company" except where the context otherwise
requires), established the EFTC Corporation Equity Incentive Plan, formerly
named the "Electronic Fab Technology Corp. Equity Incentive Plan" (the "Plan")
for certain key employees of the Company.  Article XVI of the Plan provides
that the Board may amend the Plan from time to time.  The Plan is hereby
amended and restated, effective July 9, 1997, subject to shareholder approval
(the "Effective Date").  The Plan permits the grant of stock options,
restricted stock awards, stock appreciation rights, stock units and other stock
grants to certain key employees of the Company.

       1.2    Purposes.  The purposes of the Plan are to provide the key
employees selected for participation in the Plan with added incentives to
continue in the service of the Company and to create in such employees a more
direct interest in the future success of the operations of the Company by
relating incentive compensation to the achievement of long-term corporate
economic objectives, so that the income of the key employees is more closely
aligned with the income of the Company's shareholders.  The Plan is also
designed to attract key employees and to retain and motivate participating
employees by providing an opportunity for investment in the Company.

       The Plan shall be administered by the Committee.  In accordance with the

<PAGE>   7
and duties of the Company and the Participants with respect to Awards granted

provided herein.  The Committee may from time to time adopt such rules and
regulations for carrying out the purposes of the Plan as it may deem proper and
in the best interests of the Company.  The Committee may correct any defect,
supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or in any
agreement entered into hereunder in the manner and to the extent it shall deem
expedient and it shall be the sole and final judge of such expediency.  No
member of the Committee shall be liable for any action or determination made in

conclusive for all purposes and on all persons.


                                   ARTICLE IV

                           STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN

       4.1    Number of Shares.  The number of shares of Stock that are
authorized for issuance under the Plan in accordance with the provisions of the
Plan and subject to such restrictions or other provisions as the Committee may
from time to time deem necessary shall not exceed 1,995,000.  This
authorization may be increased from time to time by approval of the Board and
by the shareholders of the Company if, in the opinion of counsel for the
Company, shareholder approval is required.  Shares of Stock that may be issued
upon exercise of Options, or Stock Appreciation Rights, that are issued as
Restricted Stock Awards, that are issued with respect to Stock Units, and that
are issued as incentive compensation or other stock grants under the Plan shall
be applied to reduce the maximum number of shares of Stock remaining available
for use under the Plan.  The Company shall at all times during the term of the
Plan and while any Options or Stock Units are outstanding retain as authorized
and unissued Stock at least the number of shares from time to time required
under the provisions of the Plan, or otherwise assure itself of its ability to
perform its obligations hereunder.

       4.2    Other Shares of Stock.  Any shares of Stock that are subject to
an Option that expires, or that is forfeited or for any reason is terminated
unexercised, and any shares of Stock withheld for the payment of taxes or
received by the Company as payment of the exercise price of an Option shall
automatically become available for use under the Plan.

       4.3    Adjustments for Stock Split, Stock Dividend,  Etc.  If the
Company shall at any time increase or decrease the number of its outstanding
shares of Stock or change in any way the rights and privileges of such shares
by means of the payment of a stock dividend or any other distribution upon such
shares payable in Stock, or through a stock split, subdivision, consolidation,
combination, reclassification or recapitalization involving the Stock, then in
relation to the Stock that is affected by one or more of the above events, the
numbers, rights and privileges of the following shall be increased, decreased
or changed in like manner as if they had been issued and outstanding, fully
paid and nonassessable at the time of such occurrence:  (i) the shares of Stock
as to which Awards may be granted under the Plan and (ii) the shares of the
Stock then included in each outstanding Award granted hereunder.

       4.4    Other Distributions and Changes in the Stock.  If

              (a)    the Company shall at any time distribute with respect to
the Stock assets or securities of persons other than the Company (excluding
cash or distributions referred to in Section 4.3), or

              (b)    the Company shall at any time grant to the holders of its
Stock rights to subscribe pro rata for additional shares thereof or for any
other securities of the Company, or

              (c)    there shall be any other change (except as described in
Section 4.3) in the number or kind of outstanding shares of Stock or of any
stock or other securities into which the Stock shall be changed or for which it
shall have been exchanged,

and if the Committee shall in its discretion determine that the event described
in subsection (a), (b), or (c) above equitably requires an adjustment in the
number or kind of shares subject to an Option or other Award, an adjustment in
the Option Price or the taking of any other action by the Committee, including
without limitation, the setting aside of any property for delivery to the
Participant upon the exercise of an Option or the full vesting of an Award,
then such adjustments shall be made, or other action shall be taken, by the
Committee and shall be effective for all purposes of the Plan and on each
outstanding Option or Award that involves the particular type of stock for
which a change was effected.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Section 4.4, pursuant to Section 8.3 below, a Participant holding Stock
received as a Restricted Stock Award shall have the right to receive all
amounts, including cash and property of any kind, distributed with respect to
the Stock upon the Participant's becoming a holder of record of the Stock.

       4.5    General Adjustment Rules.  No adjustment or substitution provided
for in this Article IV shall require the Company to sell a fractional share of
Stock under any Option, or otherwise issue a fractional share of Stock, and the
total substitution or adjustment with respect to each Option and other Award
shall be limited by deleting any fractional share.  In the case of any such
substitution or adjustment, the total Option Price for the shares of Stock then
subject to an Option shall remain unchanged but the Option Price per share
under each such Option shall be equitably adjusted by the Committee to reflect
the greater or lesser number of shares of Stock or other securities into which
the Stock subject to the Option may have been changed, and appropriate
adjustments shall be made to other Awards to reflect any such substitution or
adjustment.

       4.6    Determination by the Committee, Etc.  Adjustments under this
Article IV shall be made by the Committee, whose determinations with regard
thereto shall be final and binding upon all parties thereto.

                            CORPORATE REORGANIZATION

       5.1    Reorganization.  Upon the occurrence of any of the following
events, if the notice required by Section 5.2 shall have first been given, the
Plan and all Options then outstanding hereunder shall automatically terminate
and be of no further force and effect whatsoever, and other Awards then
outstanding shall be treated as described in Sections 5.2 and 5.3, without the
necessity for any additional notice or other action by the Board or the
Company:  (a) the merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another
corporation or other reorganization (other than a reorganization under the
United States Bankruptcy Code) of the Company (other than a consolidation,
merger, or reorganization in which the Company is the continuing corporation
and which does not result in any reclassification or change of outstanding
shares of Stock); or (b) the sale or conveyance of the property of the Company
as an entirety or substantially as an entirety (other than a sale or conveyance
in which the Company continues as holding company of an entity or entities that
conduct the business or business formerly conducted by the Company); or (c) the
dissolution or liquidation of the Company.

       5.2    Required Notice.  At least 30 days' prior written notice of any
event described in Section 5.1 shall be given by the Company to each Option
Holder and Participant unless (a) in the case of the events described in
clauses (a) or (b) of Section 5.1, the Company, or the successor or purchaser,
as the case may be, shall make adequate provision for the assumption of the
outstanding Options or the substitution of new options for the outstanding
Options on terms comparable to the outstanding Options except that the Option
Holder shall have the right thereafter to purchase the kind and amount of
securities or property or cash receivable upon such merger, consolidation,
other reorganization, sale or conveyance by a holder of the number of Shares
that would have been receivable upon exercise of the Option immediately prior
to such merger, consolidation, sale or conveyance (assuming such holder of
Stock failed to exercise any rights of election and received per share the kind
and amount received per share by a majority of the non-electing shares), or (b)
the Company, or the successor or purchaser, as the case may be, shall make
adequate provision for the adjustment of outstanding Awards (other than
Options) so that such Awards shall entitle the Participant to receive the kind
and amount of securities or property or cash receivable upon such merger,
consolidation, other reorganization, sale or conveyance by a holder of the
number of Shares that would have been receivable with respect to such Award
immediately prior to such merger, consolidation, other reorganization, sale or
conveyance (assuming such holder of Stock failed to exercise any rights of
election and received per share the kind and amount received per share by a
majority of the non-electing shares).  The provisions of this Article V shall
similarly apply to successive mergers, consolidations, reorganizations, sales
or conveyances.  Such notice shall be deemed to have been given when delivered
personally to a Participant or when mailed to a Participant by registered or
certified mail, postage prepaid, at such Participant's address last known to
the Company.

       5.3    Acceleration of Exercisability.  Participants notified in
accordance with Section 5.2 may exercise their Options at any time before the
occurrence of the event requiring the giving of notice (but subject to
occurrence of such event), regardless of whether all conditions of exercise





                                       6
<PAGE>   10
relating to length of service, attainment of financial performance goals or
otherwise have been satisfied.  Upon the giving of notice in accordance with
Section 5.2, all restrictions with respect to Restricted Stock and other Awards
shall lapse immediately, all Stock Units shall become payable immediately and
all Stock Appreciation Rights shall become exercisable.  Any Options, Stock
Appreciation Rights or Stock Units that are not assumed or substituted under
clauses (a) or (b) of Section 5.2 that have not been exercised prior to the
event described in Section 5.1 shall automatically terminate upon the
occurrence of such event.

       5.4    Limitation on Payments.  If  the provisions of this Article V
would result in the receipt by any Participant of a payment within the meaning
of Section 280G of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder and if
the receipt of such payment by any Participant would, in the opinion of
independent tax counsel of recognized standing selected by the Company, result
in the payment by such Participant of any excise tax provided for in Sections
280G and 4999 of the Code, then the amount of such payment shall be reduced to
the extent required, in the opinion of independent tax counsel, to prevent the
imposition of such excise tax; provided, however, that the Committee, in its
sole discretion, may authorize the payment of all or any portion of the amount
of such reduction to the Participant.


                                   ARTICLE VI

                                 PARTICIPATION

       Participants in the Plan shall be those Eligible Employees who, in the
judgment of the Committee, are performing, or during the term of their
incentive arrangement will perform, vital services in the management, operation
and development of the Company or an Affiliated Corporation, and significantly
contribute, or are expected to significantly contribute, to the achievement of
long-term corporate economic objectives.  Participants may be granted from time
to time one or more Awards; provided, however, that the grant of each such
Award shall be separately approved by the Committee, and receipt of one such
Award shall not result in automatic receipt of any other Award.  Upon
determination by the Committee that an Award is to be granted to a Participant,
written notice shall be given to such person, specifying the terms, conditions,
rights and duties related thereto.  Each Participant shall, if required by the
Committee, enter into an agreement with the Company, in such form as the
Committee shall determine and which is consistent with the provisions of the
Plan, specifying such terms, conditions, rights and duties.  Awards shall be
deemed to be granted as of the date specified in the grant resolution of the
Committee, which date shall be the date of any related agreement with the
Participant.  In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of the
Plan and any such agreement entered into hereunder, the provisions of the Plan
shall govern.

<PAGE>   11
                                  ARTICLE VII

                                    OPTIONS

       7.1    Grant of Options.  Coincident with or following designation for
participation in the Plan, a Participant may be granted one or more Options.
The Committee in its sole discretion shall designate whether an Option is an
Incentive Option or a Non-Qualified Option.  The Committee may grant both an
Incentive Option and a Non-Qualified Option to an Eligible Employee at the same
time or at different times.  Incentive Options and Non-Qualified Options,
whether granted at the same time or at different times, shall be deemed to have
been awarded in separate grants and shall be clearly identified, and in no
event shall the exercise of one Option affect the right to exercise any other
Option or affect the number of shares for which any other Option may be
exercised, except as provided in subsection 7.2(j).  An Option shall be
considered as having been granted on the date specified in the grant resolution
of the Committee.

       7.2    Stock Option Certificates.  Each Option granted under the Plan
shall be evidenced by a written stock option certificate (an "Option
Certificate").  An Option Certificate shall be issued by the Company in the
name of the Participant to whom the Option is granted (the "Option Holder") and
in such form as may be approved by the Committee.  The Option Certificate shall
incorporate and conform to the conditions set forth in this Section 7.2 as well
as such other terms and conditions that are not inconsistent as the Committee
may consider appropriate in each case.

              (a)    Number of Shares.  Each Option Certificate shall state
that it covers a specified number of shares of Stock, as determined by the
Committee.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, the maximum
number of shares of Stock to be granted subject to Options to any one
Participant during the term of this Plan shall be 300,000 shares of Stock.

              (b)    Price.  The price at which each share of Stock covered by
an Option may be purchased shall be determined in each case by the Committee
and set forth in the Option Certificate, but in no event shall the price be
less than 100 percent of the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date the
Option (both Incentive and Non-Qualified) is granted.

              (c)    Duration of Options; Restrictions on Exercise.  Each
Option Certificate shall state the period of time, determined by the Committee,
within which the Option may be exercised by the Option Holder (the "Option
Period").  The Option Period must end, in all cases, not more than ten years
from the date the Option is granted.  The Option Certificate shall also set
forth any installment or other restrictions on Option exercise during such
period, if any, as may be determined by the Committee; however, no Option may
be exercised for at least six months after the date of grant.  Each Option
shall become exercisable (vest) over such period of time, if any, or upon such
events, as determined by the Committee.

              (d)    Termination of Employment, Death, Disability, Etc.  The
Committee may specify the period, if any, after which an Option may be
exercised following termination of the Option Holder's employment.  The effect
of this subsection 7.2(d) shall be limited to determining the consequences of a
termination and nothing in this subsection 7.2(d) shall restrict or otherwise





                                       8
<PAGE>   12
interfere with the Company's discretion with respect to the termination of any
individual's employment.  If the Committee does not otherwise specify, the
following shall apply:

                     (i)    If the employment of the Option Holder  terminates
       for any reason other than death or Disability within six months after
       the date the Option is granted or if the employment of the Option Holder
       is terminated within the Option Period for "cause", as determined by the
       Company, the Option shall thereafter be void for all purposes.  As used
       in this subsection 7.2(d), "cause" shall mean a gross violation, as
       determined by the Company, of the Company's established policies and
       procedures.

                     (ii)   If the Option Holder becomes Disabled, the  Option
       may be exercised by the Option Holder, or in the case of death by the
       persons specified in subsection (iii) of this subsection 7.2(d), within
       one year following his or her Disability (provided that such exercise
       must occur within the Option Period), but not thereafter.  In any such
       case, the Option may be exercised only as to the shares as to which the
       Option had become exercisable on or before the date of the Option
       Holder's termination of employment because of Disability.

                     (iii)  If the Option Holder dies during the Option  Period
       while still employed or within the one year period referred to in (ii)
       above or the three-month period referred to in (iv) below, the Option
       may be exercised by those entitled to do so under the Option Holder's
       will or by the laws of descent and distribution within one year
       following the Option Holder's death, (provided that such exercise must
       occur within the Option Period), but not thereafter.  In any such case,
       the Option may be exercised only as to the shares as to which the Option
       had become exercisable on or before the date of the Option Holder's
       death.

                     (iv)   If the employment of the Option Holder by the
       Company is terminated (which for this purpose means that the Option
       Holder is no longer employed by the Company or by an Affiliated
       Corporation) within the Option Period for any reason other than cause,
       Disability or the Option Holder's death, and such termination occurs
       more than six months after the Option is granted, the Option may be
       exercised by the Option Holder within three months following the date of
       such termination (provided that such exercise must occur within the
       Option Period), but not thereafter.  In any such case, the Option may be
       exercised only as to the shares as to which the Option had become
       exercisable on or before the date of termination of employment.

              (e)    Transferability.  Each Option shall not be transferable by
the Option Holder except by will or pursuant to the laws of descent and
distribution.  Each Option is exercisable during the Option Holder's lifetime
only by him or her, or in the event of disability or incapacity, by his or her
guardian or legal representative.

              (f)    Consideration for Grant of Option.  Each Option Holder
agrees to remain in the employment of the Company, at the pleasure of the
Company, for a continuous period of at least one year after the date the Option
is granted, at the salary rate in effect on the date of such agreement





                                       9
<PAGE>   13
       or at such changed rate as may be fixed, from time to time, by the
       Company.  Nothing in this paragraph shall limit or impair the Company's
       right to terminate the employment of any employee.

              (g)    Exercise, Payments, Etc.

                     (i)    Manner of Exercise.  The method for exercising each
       Option granted hereunder shall be by delivery to the Company of written
       notice specifying the number of Shares with respect to which such Option
       is exercised.  The purchase of such Shares shall take place at the
       principal offices of the Company within thirty days following delivery
       of such notice, at which time the Option Price of the Shares shall be
       paid in full by any of the methods set forth below or a combination
       thereof.  Except as set forth in the next sentence, the Option shall be
       exercised when the Option Price for the number of shares as to which the
       Option is exercised is paid to the Company in full.  If the Option Price
       is paid by means of a broker's loan transaction described in subsection
       7.2(g)(ii)(D), in whole or in part, the closing of the purchase of the
       Stock under the Option shall take place (and the Option shall be treated
       as exercised) on the date on which, and only if, the sale of Stock upon
       which the broker's loan was based has been closed and settled, unless
       the Option Holder makes an irrevocable written election, at the time of
       exercise of the Option, to have the exercise treated as fully effective
       for all purposes upon receipt of the Option Price by the Company
       regardless of whether or not the sale of the Stock by the broker is
       closed and settled.  A properly executed certificate or certificates
       representing the Shares shall be delivered to or at the direction of the
       Option Holder upon payment therefor.  If Options on less than all shares
       evidenced by an Option Certificate are exercised, the Company shall
       deliver a new Option Certificate evidencing the Option on the remaining
       shares upon delivery of the Option Certificate for the Option being
       exercised.

                     (ii)   The exercise price shall be paid by any of the
       following methods or any combination of the following methods at the
       election of the Option Holder, or by any other method approved by the
       Committee upon the request of the Option Holder:

                            (A)    in cash;

                            (B)    by certified, cashier's check or other check
       acceptable to the Company, payable to the order of the Company;

                            (C)    by delivery to the Company of certificates
       representing the number of shares then owned by the Option Holder, the
       Fair Market Value of which equals the purchase price of the Stock
       purchased pursuant to the Option, properly endorsed for transfer to the
       Company; provided however, that no Option may be exercised by delivery
       to the Company of certificates representing Stock, unless such Stock has
       been held by the Option Holder for more than six months; for purposes of
       this Plan, the Fair Market Value of any shares of Stock delivered in
       payment of the purchase price upon exercise of the Option shall be the
       Fair Market Value as of the exercise date; the exercise date shall be
       the day of delivery of the certificates for the Stock used as payment of
       the Option Price; or





                                       10
<PAGE>   14
                            (D)    by delivery to the Company of a properly
       executed notice of exercise together with irrevocable instructions to a
       broker to deliver to the Company promptly the amount of the proceeds of
       the sale of all or a portion of the Stock or of a loan from the broker
       to the Option Holder required to pay the Option Price.

              (h)    Date of Grant.  An Option shall be considered as having
       been granted on the date specified in the grant resolution of the 
       Committee.

              (i)    Withholding.

                     (i)    Non-Qualified Options.  Upon exercise of an Option,
       the Option Holder shall make appropriate arrangements with the Company
       to provide for the amount of additional withholding required by Sections
       3102 and 3402 of the Code and applicable state income tax laws,
       including payment of such taxes through delivery of shares of Stock or
       by withholding Stock to be issued under the Option, as provided in
       Article XV.

                     (ii)   Incentive Options.  If an Option Holder makes a
       disposition (as defined in Section 424(c) of the Code) of any Stock
       acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Incentive Option prior to the
       expiration of two years from the date on which the Incentive Option was
       granted or prior to the expiration of one year from the date on which
       the Option was exercised, the Option Holder shall send written notice to
       the Company at its principal office in Greeley, Colorado (Attention:
       Corporate Secretary) of the date of such disposition, the number of
       shares disposed of, the amount of proceeds received from such
       disposition and any other information relating to such disposition as
       the Company may reasonably request.  The Option Holder shall, in the
       event of such a disposition, make appropriate arrangements with the
       Company to provide for the amount of additional withholding, if any,
       required by Sections 3102 and 3402 of the Code and applicable state
       income tax laws.

              (j)    Issuance of Additional Option.  If an Option Holder pays
all or any portion of the exercise price of an Option with Stock, or pays all
or any portion of the applicable withholding taxes with respect to the exercise
of an Option with Stock that has been held by the Option Holder for more than a
period, not shorter than six months, to be determined by the Committee, the
Committee may, in its sole discretion, grant to such Option Holder a new Option
covering the number of shares of Stock used to pay such exercise price and/or
withholding tax.  The new Option shall have an Option Price per share equal to
the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date of the exercise of the
Option and shall have the same terms and provisions as the exercised Option,
except as otherwise determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.

       7.3    Restrictions on Incentive Options.

              (a)    Initial Exercise. The aggregate Fair Market Value of the
Shares with respect to which Incentive Options are exercisable for the first
time by an Option Holder in any calendar year, under the Plan or otherwise,
shall not exceed $100,000.  For this purpose, the Fair Market Value of the
Shares shall be determined as of the date of grant of the Option.





                                       11
<PAGE>   15
              (b)    Ten Percent Shareholders.   Incentive Options granted to
an Option Holder who is the holder of record of 10% or more of the outstanding
Stock of the Company shall have an Option Price equal to 110% of the Fair
Market Value of the Shares on the date of grant of the Option and the Option
Period for any such Option shall not exceed five years.

       7.4    Shareholder Privileges.  No Option Holder shall have any rights
as a shareholder with respect to any shares of Stock covered by an Option until
the Option Holder becomes the holder of record of such Stock, and no
adjustments shall be made for dividends or other distributions or other rights
as to which there is a record date preceding the date such Option Holder
becomes the holder of record of such Stock, except as provided in Article IV.


                                  ARTICLE VIII

                            RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS

       8.1    Grant of Restricted Stock Awards.  Coincident with or following
designation for participation in the Plan, the Committee may grant a
Participant one or more Restricted Stock Awards consisting of Shares of Stock.
The number of Shares granted as a Restricted Stock Award shall be determined by
the Committee.

       8.2    Restrictions.  A Participant's right to retain a Restricted Stock
Award granted to him under Section 8.1 shall be subject to such restrictions,
including but not limited to his continuous employment by the Company or an
Affiliated Corporation for a restriction period specified by the Committee or
the attainment of specified performance goals and objectives, as may be
established by the Committee with respect to such Award.  The Committee may in
its sole discretion require different periods of employment or different
performance goals and objectives with respect to different Participants, to
different Restricted Stock Awards or to separate, designated portions of the
Stock shares constituting a Restricted Stock Award.  In the event of the death
or Disability of a Participant, or the retirement of a Participant in
accordance with the Company's established retirement policy, all employment
period and other restrictions applicable to Restricted Stock Awards then held
by him shall lapse with respect to a pro rata part of each such Award based on
the ratio between the number of full months of employment completed at the time
of termination of employment from the grant of each Award to the total number
of months of employment required for such Award to be fully nonforfeitable, and
such portion of each such Award shall become fully nonforfeitable.  The
remaining portion of each such Award shall be forfeited and shall be
immediately returned to the Company.  In the event of a Participant's
termination of employment for any other reason, any Restricted Stock Awards as
to which the employment period or other restrictions have not been satisfied
(or waived or accelerated as provided herein) shall be forfeited, and all
shares of Stock related thereto shall be immediately returned to the Company.

       8.3    Privileges of a Shareholder, Transferability.  A Participant
shall have all voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights with respect to
Stock in accordance with its terms received by him as a Restricted Stock Award
under this Article VIII upon his becoming the holder of record of





                                       12
<PAGE>   16
such Stock; provided, however, that the Participant's right to sell, encumber,
or otherwise transfer such Stock shall be subject to the limitations of Section
13.2.

       8.4    Enforcement of Restrictions.  The Committee shall cause a legend
to be placed on the Stock certificates issued pursuant to each Restricted Stock
Award referring to the restrictions provided by Sections 8.2 and 8.3 and, in
addition, may in its sole discretion require one or more of the following
methods of enforcing the restrictions referred to in Sections 8.2 and 8.3:

              (a)    Requiring the Participant to keep the Stock certificates,
duly endorsed, in the custody of the Company while the restrictions remain in
effect; or

              (b)    Requiring that the Stock certificates, duly endorsed, be
held in the custody of a third party while the restrictions remain in effect.


                                   ARTICLE IX

                                  STOCK UNITS

       A Participant may be granted a number of Stock Units determined by the
Committee.  The number of Stock Units, the goals and objectives to be satisfied
with respect to each grant of Stock Units, the time and manner of payment for
each Stock Unit, and the other terms and conditions applicable to a grant of
Stock Units shall be determined by the Committee.


                                   ARTICLE X

                           STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

       10.1   Persons Eligible.  The Committee, in its sole discretion, may
grant Stock Appreciation Rights to Eligible Employees.

       10.2   Grant.  The Committee shall determine at the time of the grant of
a Stock Appreciation Right the time period during which the Stock Appreciation
Right may be exercised, which period may not commence until six months after
the date of grant.

       10.3   Exercise.  A Stock Appreciation Right shall entitle a Participant
to receive a number of shares of Stock (without any payment to the Company,
except for applicable withholding taxes), cash, or Stock and cash, as
determined by the Committee in accordance with Section 10.4 below.  If a Stock
Appreciation Right is issued in tandem with an Option, except as may otherwise
be provided by the Committee, the Stock Appreciation Right shall be exercisable
during the period that its related Option is exercisable.  A Participant
desiring to exercise a Stock Appreciation Right shall give written notice of
such exercise to the Company, which notice shall state the proportion of Stock
and cash that the Participant desires to receive pursuant to the Stock
Appreciation Right exercised.  Upon receipt of the notice from the Participant,
the Company shall deliver to the person entitled





                                       13
<PAGE>   17
thereto (i) a certificate or certificates for Stock and/or (ii) a cash payment,
in accordance with Section 10.4 below.  The date the Company receives written
notice of such exercise hereunder is referred to in this Article X as the
"exercise date".  The delivery of Stock or cash received pursuant to such
exercise shall take place at the principal offices of the Company within 30
days following delivery of such notice.

       10.4   Number of Shares or Amount of Cash.  Subject to the discretion of
the Committee to substitute cash for Stock, or Stock for cash, the amount of
Stock which may be issued pursuant to the exercise of a Stock Appreciation
Right shall be determined by dividing: (a) the total number of shares of Stock
as to which the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised, multiplied by the amount
by which the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the exercise date exceeds the
Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date of grant of the Stock
Appreciation Right, by (b) the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the exercise
date; provided, however, that fractional shares shall not be issued and in lieu
thereof, a cash adjustment shall be paid.  In lieu of issuing Stock upon the
exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, the Committee in its sole discretion
may elect to pay the cash equivalent of the Fair Market Value of the Stock on
the exercise date for any or all of the shares of Stock that would otherwise be
issuable upon exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right.

       10.5   Effect of Exercise.  If a Stock Appreciation Right is issued in
tandem with an Option, the exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right or the
related Option will result in an equal reduction in the number of corresponding
Options or Stock Appreciation Rights which were granted in tandem with such
Stock Appreciation Rights and Options.

       10.6   Termination of Employment.  Upon the termination of employment of
a Participant, any Stock Appreciation Rights then held by such Participant
shall be exercisable within the time periods, and upon the same conditions with
respect to the reasons for termination of employment, as are specified in
Section 7.2(d) with respect to Options.


                                   ARTICLE XI

                           OTHER COMMON STOCK GRANTS

       From time to time during the duration of this Plan, the Board may, in
its sole discretion, adopt one or more incentive compensation arrangements for
Participants pursuant to which the Participants may acquire shares of Stock,
whether by purchase, outright grant, or otherwise.  Any such arrangements shall
be subject to the general provisions of this Plan and all shares of Stock
issued pursuant to such arrangements shall be issued under this Plan.

                                  ARTICLE XII

                               CHANGE IN CONTROL

       12.1   In General.   Upon a change of control in the Company as defined
in Section 12.2, then (a) all options shall become immediately exercisable in
full during the remaining term thereof, and shall remain so, whether or not the
Participants to whom such Options have been granted remain employees of the
Company or an Affiliated Corporation; (b) all restrictions with respect to
outstanding Restricted Stock Awards shall immediately lapse; (c) all Stock
Units shall become immediately payable; and (d) all other Awards shall
immediately become exercisable or shall vest, as the case may be, without any
further action or passage of time.

       12.2   Definition.   For purposes of this Plan, a "change in control"
shall be deemed to have occurred if (a) a person (as such term is used in
Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act) becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule
13d-3 under the 1934 Act) of shares of the Company or the Company's successor
having 30% or more of the total number of votes that may be cast for the
election of directors of the Company without the prior approval of at least a
majority of the members of the Company's Board of Directors unaffiliated with
such person (unless such person beneficially owns shares with at least 15% of
such votes on the Effective Date), or (b) individuals who constitute the
directors of the Company at the beginning of a 24-month period cease to
constitute at least two-thirds of all directors at any time during such period,
unless the election of any new or replacement directors was approved by a vote
of at least a majority of the members of the Company's Board of Directors in
office immediately prior to such period and of the new and replacement
directors so approved.


                                  ARTICLE XIII

                       RIGHTS OF EMPLOYEES; PARTICIPANTS

       13.1   Employment.  Nothing contained in the Plan or in any Award
granted under the Plan shall confer upon any Participant any right with respect
to the continuation of his employment by the Company or any Affiliated
Corporation, or interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any
Affiliated Corporation, subject to the terms of any separate employment
agreement to the contrary, at any time to terminate such employment or to
increase or decrease the compensation of the Participant from the rate in
existence at the time of the grant of an Award.  Whether an authorized leave of
absence, or absence in military or government service, shall constitute a
termination of employment shall be determined by the Committee at the time.

       13.2   Nontransferability.  No right or interest of any Participant in
an Option, a Stock Appreciation Right, a Restricted Stock Award (prior to the
completion of the restriction period applicable thereto), a Stock Unit, or
other Award granted pursuant to the Plan, shall be assignable or transferable
during the lifetime of the Participant, either voluntarily or involuntarily, or
subjected to any lien, directly or indirectly, by operation of law, or
otherwise, including execution, levy, garnishment, attachment, pledge or
bankruptcy.  In the event of a Participant's death, a Participant's





                                       15
<PAGE>   19
rights and interests in Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock
Awards, other Awards, and Stock Units shall, to the extent provided in Articles
VII, VIII, IX, X and XI, be transferable by will or the laws of descent and
distribution, and payment of any amounts due under the Plan shall be made to,
and exercise of any Options may be made by, the Participant's legal
representatives, heirs or legatees.  If in the opinion of the Committee a
person entitled to payments or to exercise rights with respect to the Plan is
disabled from caring for his affairs because of mental condition, physical
condition or age, payment due such person may be made to, and such rights shall
be exercised by, such person's guardian, conservator or other legal personal
representative upon furnishing the Committee with evidence satisfactory to the
Committee of such status.

       13.3   No Plan Funding.  Obligations to Participants under the Plan will
not be funded, trusteed, insured or secured in any manner.  The Participants
under the Plan shall have no security interest in any assets of the Company or
any Affiliated Corporation, and shall be only general creditors of the Company.


                                  ARTICLE XIV

                              GENERAL RESTRICTIONS

       14.1   Investment Representations.  The Company may require any person
to whom an Option, Stock Appreciation Right, Restricted Stock Award, Stock
Unit, or Stock is granted, as a condition of exercising such Option or Stock
Appreciation Right, or receiving such Restricted Stock Award, Stock Unit, or
Stock, to give written assurances in substance and form satisfactory to the
Company and its counsel to the effect that such person is acquiring the Stock
for his own account for investment and not with any present intention of
selling or otherwise distributing the same, and to such other effects as the
Company deems necessary or appropriate in order to comply with Federal and
applicable state securities laws.

       14.2   Compliance with Securities Laws.  Each Option, Stock Appreciation
Right, Restricted Stock Award, Stock Unit, and Stock grant shall be subject to
the requirement that, if at any time counsel to the Company shall determine
that the listing, registration or qualification of the shares subject to such
Option, Stock Appreciation Right, Restricted Stock Award, Stock Unit, or Stock
grant upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or the
consent or approval of any governmental or regulatory body, is necessary as a
condition of, or in connection with, the issuance or purchase of shares
thereunder, such Option, Stock Appreciation Right, Restricted Stock Award,
Stock Unit or Stock grant may not be accepted or exercised in whole or in part
unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall
have been effected or obtained on conditions acceptable to the Committee.
Nothing herein shall be deemed to require the Company to apply for or to obtain
such listing, registration or qualification.

       14.3   Changes in Accounting Rules.  Notwithstanding any other provision
of the Plan to the contrary, if, during the term of the Plan, any changes in
the financial or tax accounting rules applicable to Options, Stock Appreciation
Rights, Restricted Stock Awards, Stock Units or other Awards shall occur which,
in the sole judgment of the Committee, may have a material adverse





                                       16
<PAGE>   20
effect on the reported earnings, assets or liabilities of the Company, the
Committee shall have the right and power to modify as necessary, any then
outstanding and unexercised Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, outstanding
Restricted Stock Awards, outstanding Stock Units and other outstanding Awards
as to which the applicable employment or other restrictions have not been
satisfied.


                                   ARTICLE XV

                            OTHER EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

       The amount of any compensation deemed to be received by a Participant as
a result of the exercise of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right, the sale of
shares received upon such exercise, the vesting of any Restricted Stock Award,
distributions with respect to Stock Units, or the grant of Stock shall not
constitute "earnings" or "compensation" with respect to which any other
employee benefits of such employee are determined, including without limitation
benefits under any pension, profit sharing, life insurance or salary
continuation plan.


                                  ARTICLE XVI

                  PLAN AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION AND TERMINATION

       The Board may at any time terminate, and from time to time may amend or
modify the Plan provided, however, that no amendment or modification may become
effective without approval of the amendment or modification by the shareholders
if shareholder approval is required to enable the Plan to satisfy any
applicable statutory or regulatory requirements, or if the Company, on the
advice of counsel, determines that shareholder approval is otherwise necessary
or desirable.

       No amendment, modification or termination of the Plan shall in any
manner adversely affect any Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted
Stock Awards, Stock Units, Stock or other Award theretofore granted under the
Plan, without the consent of the Participant holding such Options, Stock
Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock Awards, Stock Units, Stock or other
Awards.


                                  ARTICLE XVII

                                  WITHHOLDING

       17.1   Withholding Requirement.  The Company's obligations to deliver
shares of Stock upon the exercise of any Option, or Stock Appreciation Right,
the vesting of any Restricted Stock Award, payment with respect to Stock Units,
or the grant of Stock shall be subject to the Participant's satisfaction of all
applicable federal, state and local income and other tax withholding
requirements.





                                       17
<PAGE>   21
       17.2   Withholding With Stock.  At the time the Committee grants an
Option, Stock Appreciation Right, Restricted Stock Award, Stock Unit, other
Award, or Stock, it may, in its sole discretion, grant the Participant an
election to pay all such amounts of tax withholding, or any part thereof, by
electing to transfer to the Company, or to have the Company withhold from
shares otherwise issuable to the Participant, shares of Stock having a value
equal to the amount required to be withheld or such lesser amount as may be
elected by the Participant.  All elections shall be subject to the approval or
disapproval of the Committee.  The value of shares of Stock to be withheld
shall be based on the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date that the
amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined (the "Tax Date").  Any such
elections by Participants to have shares of Stock withheld for this purpose
will be subject to the following restrictions:

              (a)    All elections must be made prior to the Tax Date.

              (b)    All elections shall be irrevocable.

              (c)    If the Participant is an officer or director of the
Company within the meaning of Section 16 of the 1934 Act ("Section 16"), the
Participant must satisfy the requirements of such Section 16 and any applicable
Rules thereunder with respect to the use of Stock to satisfy such tax
withholding obligation.


                                 ARTICLE XVIII

                              REQUIREMENTS OF LAW

       18.1   Requirements of Law.  The issuance of Stock and the payment of
cash pursuant to the Plan shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules and
regulations.

       18.2   Federal Securities Law Requirements.  If a Participant is an
officer or director of the Company within the meaning of Section 16, Awards
granted hereunder shall be subject to all conditions required under Rule 16b-3,
or any successor rule promulgated under the 1934 Act, to qualify the Award for
any exception from the provisions of Section 16(b) of the 1934 Act available
under that Rule.  Such conditions shall be set forth in the agreement with the
Participant which describes the Award or other document evidencing or
accompanying the Award.

       18.3   Governing Law.  The Plan and all agreements hereunder shall be
construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Colorado.


                                  ARTICLE XIX

                              DURATION OF THE PLAN

       Unless sooner terminated by the Board of Directors, the Plan shall
terminate on December 21, 2003 and no Option, Stock Appreciation Right,
Restricted Stock Award, Stock Unit,





                                       18
<PAGE>   22
other Award or Stock shall be granted, or offer to purchase Stock made, after
such termination.  Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock Awards,
other Awards, and Stock Units outstanding at the time of the Plan termination
may continue to be exercised, or become free of restrictions, or paid, in
accordance with their terms.

                               STOCK OPTION PLAN
                           FOR NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS


       The Board of Directors (the "Board") of EFTC Corporation, a Colorado
Corporation, formerly named "Electronic Fab Technology Corp." (the "Company"),
established the EFTC Corporation Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors,
formerly named the "Electronic Fab Technology Corp. Stock Option Plan for
Non-Employee Directors," (the "Plan"), effective December 22, 1993.  Section
5.2 of the Plan provides that the Board may amend the Plan from time to time.
The Plan is hereby amended and restated, effective July 9, 1997, subject to
shareholder approval (the "Effective Date").


                                    PURPOSES

       The purposes of the Plan are to provide to certain directors of the
Company who are not also employees of the Company added incentive to continue
in the service of the Company and a more direct interest in the future success
of the operations of the Company by granting to such directors options
("Options") to purchase shares of the common stock (the "Stock") of the Company
upon the terms and conditions described below.


                                   ARTICLE I

                                    GENERAL

       1.1    Definition.  For purposes of the Plan and as used herein, a "non-
employee director" is an individual who (a) is a member of the Board and (b) is
not an employee of the Company.  For purposes of the Plan, an employee is an
individual whose wages are subject to the withholding of federal income tax
under section 3401 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time
to time (the "Code").  A non-employee director to whom an Option is granted is
referred to herein as a "Holder."

       1.2    Nature of Options.  The Options granted hereunder shall be
options that do not satisfy the requirements of section 422 of the Code.





                                       1
<PAGE>   4
                                   ARTICLE II

                                    OPTIONS

       2.1    Participation.  Each non-employee director on the Effective Date
and each non-employee director elected thereafter shall be eligible to receive
Options to purchase Stock in accordance with Section 2.2 on the terms and
conditions herein described.

       2.2    Grant.

              (a)    Grant.  The Board, in its sole discretion, may grant
Options to individual non-employee directors.  The Board shall have full
discretion as to the number and date of the grant of Options and may grant
Options covering different numbers of shares of Stock to different directors.

              (b)    Date of Grant.  The date on which a non-employee director
receives an Option hereunder is referred to as the date of grant of such
Option.

              (c)    Option Certificates.  Each Option granted under the Plan
shall be evidenced by a written stock option certificate (an "Option
Certificate") issued in the name of the non-employee director to whom the
Option is granted.  The Option Certificate shall incorporate and conform to the
terms and conditions set forth herein.

       2.3    Terms.  Options issued pursuant to the Plan shall have the
following terms and conditions in addition to those set forth elsewhere herein:

              (a)    Number.  Each non-employee director shall receive under
the Plan Options to purchase the number of shares of Stock determined by the
Board, subject to adjustment as provided in Article III.  Such grants shall be
effective at the times specified in Section 2.2.

              (b)    Price.  The price at which each share of Stock covered by
the Option may be purchased by each non-employee director shall be the Fair
Market Value (as defined in Section 5.5) of the Stock on the date of grant,
subject to adjustment as provided in Article III.

              (c)    Duration of Options.  The period within which each Option
may be exercised shall expire ten years from the date the Option is granted
(the "Option Period"), unless terminated sooner pursuant to subsection (d)
below or fully exercised prior to the end of such period.

              (d)    Termination of Service, Death, Etc.  The Option shall
terminate in the following circumstances if the Holder ceases to be a director
of the Company:

                     (i)    If the Holder is removed as a director of the
       Company during the Option Period for cause, the Option shall be void
       thereafter for all purposes.

                     (ii)   If the Holder ceases to be a director of the
       Company on account of disability within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3)
       of the Code, the Option may be exercised by the Holder (or, in case of
       death thereafter, by the persons specified in Section 2.3(d)(iii))
       within one year following the date on which the Holder ceased to be a





                                       2
<PAGE>   5
       director (if otherwise within the Option Period), but not thereafter.
       In any such case, the Option may be exercised as to all shares of Stock
       specified therein, notwithstanding Section 2.3(g).

                     (iii)  If the Holder dies during the Option Period while
       still serving as a director or within the three-month period referred to
       in Section 2.3(d)(iv) below, the Option may be exercised by those
       entitled to do so under the Holder's will or by the laws of descent and
       distribution within one year following the Holder's death (if otherwise
       within the Option Period), but not thereafter.  In any such case, the
       Option may be exercised as to all shares of Stock specified therein,
       notwithstanding Section 2.3(g).

                     (iv)   If the Holder ceases to be a director within the
       Option Period for any reason other than removal for cause, disability or
       death, the Option may be exercised by the Holder within three months
       following the date of such termination (if otherwise within the Option
       Period), but not thereafter.  In any such case, the Option may be
       exercised only as to the shares as to which the Option had become
       exercisable on or before the date the Holder ceased to be a director.

              (e)    Transferability, Exercisability.  Each Option granted
under the Plan shall not be transferable by a Holder other than by will or the
laws of descent and distribution and shall be exercisable during the Holder's
lifetime only by the Holder or, in the event of disability or incapacity, by
the Holder's guardian or legal representative.  Notwithstanding any other
provision of the Plan, no Option may be exercised unless and until the Plan is
approved by the shareholders of the Company in accordance with Section 5.4.

              (f)    Exercise, Payments, Etc.

                     (i)    The method for exercising each Option granted shall
       be by delivery to the Company of written notice specifying the number of
       shares with respect to which the Option is exercised.  The purchase of
       Stock pursuant to the Option shall take place at the principal office of
       the Company within thirty days following delivery of such notice, at
       which time the purchase price of the Stock shall be paid in full by any
       of the methods set forth in Section 2.3(f)(ii) or a combination thereof.
       If the purchase price is paid by means of a broker's loan transaction as
       described in clause (C) of Section 2.3(f)(ii), in whole or in part, the
       closing of the purchase of the Stock under the Option shall take place
       on the date on which, and only if, the sale of Stock upon which the
       broker's loan was based has been closed and settled, unless the Holder
       makes an irrevocable written election, at the time of exercise of the
       Option, to have the exercise treated as fully effective for all purposes
       upon receipt of the purchase price by the Company regardless of whether
       or not the sale of the Stock by the broker is closed and settled.  A
       properly executed certificate or certificates representing the Stock
       shall be delivered to the Holder upon payment therefor.  If Options on
       less than all shares evidenced by an Option Certificate are exercised,
       the Company shall deliver a new Option Certificate evidencing the Option
       on the remaining shares on delivery of the outstanding Option
       Certificate for the Option being exercised.

<PAGE>   6
                     (ii)   The exercise price shall be paid by any of the
       following methods or any combination of such methods, at the option of
       the Holder:  (A) cash; (B) certified, cashier's or other check
       acceptable to the Company, payable to the order of the Company; or (C)
       delivery to the Company of irrevocable instructions to a broker to
       deliver promptly to the Company the amount of sale or loan proceeds
       required to pay the purchase price of the Stock; or (D) delivery to the
       Company of certificates representing the number of shares of Stock then
       owned by the Holder, the Fair Market Value of which (determined as of
       the date the notice of exercise is delivered to the Company) equals the
       price of the Stock to be purchased pursuant to the Option, properly
       endorsed for transfer to the Company.  No Option may be exercised by
       delivery to the Company of certificates representing Stock that has been
       held by the Option Holder for less than six months or such other period
       as shall be sufficient for the Company to avoid, if possible, the
       recognition of expense with respect to the Option for accounting
       purposes.

              (g)    Service Required for Exercise.  Except as set forth in
Sections 2.3(d), 4.3, 4.4 and 5.4, each Option shall become exercisable in
increments after each month of continuous service by the Holder as a
non-employee director of the Company commencing with the twelfth month of
continuous service from the date of grant.  The number of shares as to all or
part of which the Option may be exercised after twelve months of continuous
service as a non-employee director after the date of grant shall be 1/4 (12/48)
of the total number of shares covered by the Option, with an additional 1/48
being exercisable after each additional month of continuous service as a
non-employee director through the 48th month of continuous service.  Except as
set forth in Sections 2.3(d), 4.3 and 4.4, the Option shall not be exercisable
as to any shares as to which the continuous service requirement has not been
satisfied, regardless of the circumstances under which the Holder ceased to be
a director.  The number of shares as to which the Option may be exercised shall
be cumulative, so that once the Option becomes exercisable as to any shares it
shall continue to be exercisable as to those shares until expiration or
termination of the Option as provided in the Plan.


                                  ARTICLE III

                                AUTHORIZED STOCK

       3.1    The Stock.  The total number of shares of Stock as to which
Options may be granted pursuant to the Plan shall be 300,000 in the aggregate.
The number of shares of Stock authorized for grant hereunder shall be adjusted
in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.2.  Shares of Stock underlying
expired or cancelled and unexercised Options shall again be available for grant
under the Plan.  The Company shall at all times reserve a sufficient number of
shares of Stock, or otherwise assure itself of its ability to perform its
obligations hereunder.

       3.2    Adjustments for Stock Split, Stock Dividend, Etc.  If the Company
shall at any time increase or decrease the number of its outstanding Shares by
means of payment of a stock dividend or any other distribution upon such Shares
payable in Stock, or through a stock split, subdivision, consolidation,
combination, reclassification or recapitalization involving the Stock,





                                       4
<PAGE>   7
or change in any way the rights and privileges of such Shares, then the
numbers, rights and privileges of the following shall be increased, decreased
or changed in like manner as if the corresponding Shares had been issued and
outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable at the time of such occurrence: (a)
the Shares as to which Options may be granted under the Plan; and (b) the
Shares then subject to each outstanding Option.  Upon any occurrence described
in this Section 3.2, the total Option Price under each then outstanding Option
shall remain unchanged but shall be apportioned ratably over the increased or
decreased number of Shares subject to the Option.

       3.3    Adjustments for Certain Distributions of Property.  If the
Company shall at any time distribute with respect to its Stock assets or
securities of other persons (excluding cash dividends or distributions payable
out of capital surplus and dividends or other distributions referred to in
Sections 3.2 or 3.4), then the Option Price of outstanding Options shall be
adjusted to reflect the fair market value of the assets or securities
distributed, the Company shall provide for the delivery upon exercise of such
Options of cash in an amount equal to the fair market value of the assets or
securities distributed or a combination of such actions shall be taken, all as
determined by the Committee in its discretion.  Fair market value of the assets
or securities distributed for this purpose shall be as determined by the
Committee.

       3.4    Distributions of Capital Stock and Indebtedness.  If the Company
shall at any time distribute with respect to its Stock shares of its capital
stock (other than Stock) or evidences of indebtedness, then a proportionate
part of such capital stock and evidences of indebtedness shall be set aside for
each outstanding Option and, upon the exercise of such Option, delivered to the
Option Holder.

       3.5    No Rights as Shareholder.  An Option Holder shall have none of
the rights of a shareholder with respect to the Shares subject to an Option
until such Shares are transferred to the Option Holder upon the exercise of
such Option.  Except as provided in this Article III, no adjustment shall be
made for dividends, rights or other property distributed to shareholders
(whether ordinary or extraordinary) for which the record date is prior to the
date such Shares are so transferred.

       3.6    Fractional Shares.  No adjustment or substitution provided for in
this Article III shall require the Company to issue a fractional share.  The
total substitution or adjustment with respect to each Option shall be limited
by deleting any fractional share.


                                   ARTICLE IV

                  CORPORATE REORGANIZATION; CHANGE OF CONTROL

       4.1    Reorganization.  Upon the occurrence of any of the following
events, if the notice required by Section 4.2 shall have first been given, the
Plan and all Options then outstanding hereunder shall automatically terminate
and be of no further force and effect whatsoever, without the necessity for any
additional notice or other action by the Board or the Company:  (a) the





                                       5
<PAGE>   8
merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation (other
than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing
corporation and which does not result in any reclassification or change of
outstanding shares of Stock); or (b) the sale or conveyance of the property of
the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety (other than a sale
or conveyance in which the Company continues as a holding company of an entity
or entities that conduct the business or businesses formerly conducted by the
Company); or (c) the dissolution or liquidation of the Company.

       4.2    Required Notice.  At least 30 days' prior written notice of any
event described in Section 4.1 shall be given by the Company to each Holder,
unless in the case of the events described in clauses (a) or (b) of Section
4.1, the Company, or the successor or purchaser, as the case may be, shall make
adequate provision for the assumption of the outstanding Options or the
substitution of new options for the outstanding Options on terms comparable to
the outstanding Options except that the Holder of each Option then outstanding
shall have the right thereafter to purchase the kind and amount of shares of
stock or other securities or property or cash receivable upon such merger,
consolidation, sale or conveyance by a holder of the number of shares of Stock
that would have been receivable upon exercise of the Option immediately prior
to such merger, consolidation, sale or conveyance (assuming such holder of
Stock failed to exercise any rights of election and received per share the kind
and amount received per share by a majority of the non-electing shares).  The
provisions of this Article IV shall similarly apply to successive mergers,
consolidations, sales or conveyances.  Such notice shall be deemed to have been
given when delivered personally to a Holder or when mailed to a Holder by
registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, at such Holder's address last
known to the Company.

       4.3    Acceleration of Exercisability.  Subject to Section 5.4, Holders
notified in accordance with Section 4.2 may exercise their Options at any time
before the occurrence of the event requiring the giving of notice (but subject
to occurrence of such event), regardless of whether all conditions of exercise
relating to length of service as a director have been satisfied.

       4.4    Change of Control.  If a Change in Control (as defined below)
occurs, all Options shall become exercisable in full, regardless of whether all
conditions of exercise relating to continuous service have been satisfied.  A
"Change in Control" is deemed to have occurred if (a) a person (as such term is
used in Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange
Act")) becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the
Exchange Act) of shares of the Company or the Company's successor having 30% or
more of the total number of votes that may be cast for the election of
directors of the Company without the prior approval of at least a majority of
the members of the Board unaffiliated with such person (unless such person
beneficially owns shares with at least 15% of such votes on the Effective
Date), or (b) individuals who constitute the directors of the Company at the
beginning of a 24-month period cease to constitute at least two-thirds of all
directors at any time during such period, unless the election of any new or
replacement directors was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the
members of the Board in office immediately prior to such period and of the new
and replacement directors so approved.   Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Section 4.4, no Option will become exercisable by virtue of
the occurrence of a Change in Control if the





                                       6
<PAGE>   9
Holder of that Option or any group of which that Holder is a member is the
person whose acquisition constituted the Change in Control.


                                   ARTICLE V

                               GENERAL PROVISIONS

       5.1    Expiration.  The Plan shall terminate whenever the Board adopts a
resolution to that effect.  After termination, no additional Options shall be
granted under the Plan, but the Company shall continue to recognize Options
previously granted.

       5.2    Amendments, Etc.  The Board may from time to time amend, modify,
suspend or terminate the Plan.  Nevertheless, no such amendment, modification,
suspension or termination shall impair any Option theretofore granted under the
Plan or deprive any Holder of any shares of Stock that he may have acquired
through or as a result of the Plan without the consent of the Holder.  The
Company shall obtain the approval of shareholders to any amendment or
modification of the Plan to the extent required by Rule 16b-3 under the
Exchange Act ("Rule 16b-3") (or any successor applicable rule) or by the
listing requirements of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or
any stock exchange on which the Company's securities are quoted or listed for
trading.

       5.3    Treatment of Proceeds.  Proceeds from the sale of Stock pursuant
to Options granted under the Plan shall constitute general funds of the
Company.

       5.4    Effectiveness.  This Plan shall be effective on the Effective
Date, subject to approval by the shareholders of the Company in accordance with
applicable law within 12 months before or after the Effective Date.  If the
shareholders of the Company do not approve the Plan as specified above, the
Plan as in effect prior to this amendment and restatement shall remain in
effect.

       5.5    Fair Market Value.  The "Fair Market Value" of a share of Stock
shall be the last reported sale price of the Stock on the NASDAQ National
Market System on the day the determination is to be made, or if no sale took
place on such day, the average of the closing bid and asked prices of the Stock
on the NASDAQ National Market System on such day, or if the market is closed on
such day, the last day prior to the date of determination on which the market
was open for the transaction of business, as reported by NASDAQ.  If, however,
the Stock should be listed or admitted for trading on a national securities
exchange, the Fair Market Value of a share of the Stock shall be the last sales
price, or if no sales took place, the average of the closing bid and asked
prices on the day the determination is to be made, or if the market is closed
on such day, the last day prior to the date of determination on which the
market was open for the transaction of business, as reported in the principal
consolidated transaction reporting system for the principal national securities
exchange on which the Stock is listed or admitted for trading.  If the Stock is
not listed or traded on NASDAQ or on any national securities exchange, the Fair





                                       7
<PAGE>   10
Market Value for purposes of the grant of Options under the Plan shall be
determined by the Committee in good faith in its sole discretion.

       5.6    Section Headings.  The Section headings are included herein only
for convenience, and they shall have no effect on the interpretation of the
Plan.

       5.7    Severability.  If any article, section, subsection or specific
provision is found to be illegal or invalid for any reason, such illegality or
invalidity shall not affect the remaining provisions of the Plan, and the Plan
shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal and invalid provision had
never been set forth in the Plan.

       5.8    Rule 16b-3.  This Plan is intended to comply with the
requirements of Rule 16b-3 and any successor applicable rule so that grants
under the Plan will not affect the status of non-employee directors as
disinterested persons for purposes of Rule 16b-3 and that such grants will
otherwise satisfy the requirements of Rule 16b-3.  To the extent the Plan does
not conform to such requirements, it shall be deemed amended to so conform
without any further action on the part of the Board of Directors or
shareholders.

       Amended and restated as of July 9, 1997.

performance of the Company. The 1997 Bonus Plan will provide the President,
Chief Executive Officer, the Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and the
Vice President, Chief Administrative Officer with the opportunity to receive
cash bonuses for specified increases in corporate earnings per share as
determined by the Committee.
