(5)      RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

         During 1996 the U.K. operations have experienced a reduction in sales
levels of nearly 40% over levels maintained in the later part of 1995. The lower
revenues have decreased capacity utilization thus creating a negative impact on
the Company's financial position. At the close of the third quarter the Company
announced that it will, over the next approximately six months, restructure its
assembly operation in the U.K., and during that time period transfer production
from the U.K. to the Company's manufacturing facility in Lamphun, Thailand. The
shifting of labor-intensive production from the U.K. to Thailand is expected to
reduce manufacturing costs and produce gains through efficiencies derived from
the Thailand facility's proximity to a number of existing and prospective
customers in Asia. As part of this restructuring the Company incurred the
following charges: $13.5 million write-off in intangible assets, $8.8 million
write-down of property, plant and equipment and $6.9 million in employee and
lease termination charges. The Company expects to pay out $3.2 million of the
employee and lease termination costs within the next six to nine month period
and has therefore classified the remaining $3.7 million obligation as a
noncurrent liability.


Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         Net Sales
         Net sales for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1996
increased 30% and 47%, respectively, over the same periods in 1995 due to the
inclusion of sales from the Company's U.K. operation acquired in December, 1995.
Excluding the additive effect of ADFlex U.K., sales for the three months ended
September 30, 1996 were negatively impacted by program delays among customers in
the hard disk segment involving new magneto-resistive (MR) recording technology,
a slow down for mature products and order cancellations from certain major
customers.

         Gross Profit
         Gross profit as a percentage of net sales (gross margin) for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 1996 was (1%) and 11% as compared to 27% and
28%, respectively, for the same periods in 1995. Overall gross margins for the
three month period ended September 30, 1996 were severely impacted by losses
sustained by the Company's U.K. operations.

         The U.K. operations perform assembly of components on flexible circuits
primarily for high capacity hard disk drives. During 1996 the U.K. operations
have experienced a reduction in sales levels of nearly 40% over levels
maintained in the later part of 1995. The reduction in sales has been primarily
related to delays in the introduction of MR drives by certain customers of the
Company, the decision by one customer to exit the disk drive business, and the
decision by a hard disk drive manufacturer to cease manufacturing operations and
shift all production responsibility to Japan. The severe reduction in revenues
resulted in decreased capacity utilization. Additionally, manufacturing yields
on certain new parts were substantially lower than anticipated by the Company in
the third quarter of 1996. As a result of lower revenues and decreased
utilization and the resulting negative impact on the Company's financial
position, the Company decided to transfer assembly operations from the U.K. to
Mexico and Thailand. The transfer of assembly will take approximately six
months, during which time the U.K. operation will continue to fulfill the
requirements of the Company's customers. Given the transfer, cost structure and
the estimate that such transfer will take about six months, the Company expects
minimal gross margins from its assembly operations for the next several
quarters. The Company anticipates that the benefits associated with the transfer
to Thailand and Mexico will not be realized until the middle of 1997.

         The Company's U.S. and Mexico operations, which perform primarily
circuit manufacturing and finishing, also experienced declines in gross margins
due to lower than expected revenues, product mix and certain inventory
provisions. Sales to hard disk drive manufacturers throughout 1996 have been
substantially lower than reported in 1995 due to delays in their new product
introductions and the restructuring of certain hard disk drive customers. 

                                       7
<PAGE>   8
While sales to hard disk drive customers increased in the third quarter of 1996
as compared to the previous quarters, such sales are substantially below that of
the prior year. The Company believes that demand for high volume HDD will
increase during the next quarter. Sales to notebook manufacturers increased
sequentially in the third quarter of 1996 but remain lower than that reported in
the comparable period one year ago due to significant declines in sales to two
notebook manufacturers. The Company's sales to communication and array
applications increased in the third quarter of 1996 as compared to the previous
quarter and prior year.

         In response to projected increases in sales in the second half of 1995,
the Company increased its capital spending. As a result, depreciation expense
has increased during 1996. The reduction in sales from the Company's U.S. and
Mexico operations in 1996 have, however, resulted in operating inefficiencies,
decreased capacity utilization and resulted in inventory write-offs which have
adversely impacted the related gross margins in 1996.

         The Company expects that near term gross margins will be adversely
affected by product mix, assembly versus bare flex circuit revenue mix, lower
yields on newer parts and the implications of transferring assembly operations
to Mexico and Thailand.

         Operating Expenses
         Engineering, research & development expenses and selling, general &
administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales for the three month period
ended September 30, 1996 were 5% and 9% compared with 4% and 8% for the same
period in 1995, respectively. The percentage increases are due to the additional
expenses associated with the U.K. operations compounded by lower than
anticipated revenues at this location for the three month period. Amortization
of intangibles purchased in the acquisition of ADFlex U.K. was $0.8 million, or
2% of net sales, for the three month period ended September 30, 1996.

         For the nine month period ended September 30, 1996, engineering,
research & development expenses and selling, general & administrative expenses
as a percentage of net were 5% and 9% compared with 4% and 8% for the same
period in 1995, respectively.

         Restructuring Charge
         At the close of the third quarter the Company announced that it will,
over the next approximately six months, restructure its assembly operation in
the U.K., and during that time period transfer production from the U.K. to the
Company's manufacturing facility in Lamphun, Thailand. Following the
restructuring the Company will maintain a technology development center and a
sales and service organization in the U.K. to support its European customers.
The shifting of labor-intensive production from the U.K. to Thailand is expected
to reduce manufacturing costs and produce gains through efficiencies derived
from the Thailand facility's proximity to a number of existing and prospective
customers in Asia. As part of this restructuring the Company incurred the
following charges: $13.5 million write-off in intangible assets, $8.8 million
write-down of property, plant and equipment and $6.9 million in employee and
lease termination charges. The Company expects to pay out $3.2 million of the
employee and lease termination costs within the next six to nine month period.

         Other Income (Expense)
          For the three month period ended September 30, 1996, other income
(expense) includes $207,000 of interest expense on the $10 million subordinated
debenture, $177,000 of interest expense related to borrowings under the line of
credit, the impact of bank fees and translation gains or (losses) offset by
interest income. Other income (expense) for the same period in 1995 represents
principally net interest income on available-for-sale securities.

         For the nine month period ended September 30, 1996, other income
(expense) includes $587,000 of interest expense on the $10 million subordinated
debenture, $485,000 of interest expense related to borrowing on the line of
credit, the impact of bank fees and translation gains or (losses) offset by
interest income and gains on the sale of assets compared with net interest
income generated on investments for the same period in 1995.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         For the nine month period ended September 30, 1996, the Company has
funded its cash needs from $10.2 million in proceeds from its available line of
credit and from $1.8 million generated from issuance of common stock. For the
comparable period in 1995, the Company funded its cash needs from $5.7 million
in cash generated by operations, $4.4 million in sales of available-for-sale
securities and $6.2 million generated from issuance of common stock.

         Net cash used by operating activities for the nine month period ended
September 30, 1996 was $2.6 million compared with $5.7 million provided by
operating activities for the same period in 1995. The Company experienced a net
loss of $25.5 million in the third quarter of 1996 principally due to a $20.8
million after-tax charge related to the restructuring of its U.K. operations.
This charge consisted of write-downs in intangible assets and plant and
equipment as well as the recognition of future obligations for employee and
lease termination charges. The charge did not, therefore, impact current period
operating cash flows. The net loss in the period was compounded by a $5.0
million increase in depreciation and amortization expense as compared to 1995.
During the nine month period ended September 30, 1996 the Company experienced
increased working capital requirements of $11.8 million primarily
for funding of accounts receivable associated with its U.K. operations as
receivables were not purchased in the acquisition. These working capital
requirements were funded in part through the generation of accounts payable and
accrued liability balances with the remainder financed from borrowings under the
existing bank line of credit.

         Net cash used in investing activities was $22.5 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 compared with $9.0 million for the same period
in 1995. Late in the first quarter of 1995, the Company began a capacity
expansion plan in response to increasing sales levels. This expansion continued
into 1996 resulting in capital expenditures for the nine months ended September
30, 1996 of $10.6 million versus $13.4 million for the same period in 1995.
Capital expenditures under the 1995 expansion plan were substantially complete
by the end of the second quarter thus, capital expenditures slowed in the third
quarter of 1996 and were $1.7 million as compared to $6.3 million in 1995. In
January, 1996 the Company paid $12.4 million in connection with its acquisition
of the ADFlex U.K. operations. This payment was financed from existing cash and
cash equivalent balances. Capital expenditures during the period were financed
from existing cash balances and from borrowing under the Company's bank line of
credit.

         Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 was $11.9 million compared with $6.1 million for the same
period in 1995. The Company generated $1.8 million and $6.2 million in the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, through sales of its
common stock. Additionally, the Company borrowed $10.2 million on its bank line
of credit during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 to finance working
capital requirements and capital expenditures as discussed above.

         The loss for the quarter caused the Company to be out of compliance at
September 30, 1996 with certain financial covenants under its $20.0 million
revolving line of credit with the First National Bank of Boston and Wells Fargo
Bank (the FNBB line). The Company has reached an agreement in principle with its
banks to amend the FNBB Line to provide additional flexibility with respect to
certain covenants which will allow the Company to more adequately meet its
working capital requirements. At September 30, 1996, the Company had $19.3
million available for borrowing with an outstanding balance of $10.2 million.
The FNBB line requires the Company to maintain certain covenants on a quarterly
basis based on leverage and profitability and prohibits the payment of dividends
and certain types of merger transactions without the prior approval of the
banks.


OTHER MATTERS

         Mexico Operations
         The Mexican Peso experienced significant devaluation relative to the
U.S. Dollar in December 1994 and early 1995. Peso-based operating costs are
primarily wages and benefits for the Company's Mexican hourly union 

                                       9
<PAGE>   10
employees. The initial devaluation had the effect of reducing Mexican labor cost
by nearly 40%. Since that time however , savings have been partially offset by a
series of four wage increases averaging 7-10% each. The Peso has experienced
further devaluation over the past six month period prompting the Mexican
government to mandate a 17% increase in the minimum wage effective December 1,
1996. It is expected that the Company will continue to respond proportionately
to minimum wage increases. The Company does not believe that future wage
increases will exceed the benefit of the devaluation. However, there can be no
assurance that future currency fluctuations and government-mandated wage
increases will not have a material effect on the Company's business, financial
condition and results of operations.

         Thailand Operations
         On August 27, 1996, the Company announced the establishment of a joint
venture with Hana Microelectronics, a diversified electronics manufacturer
headquartered in Thailand, to produce and test advanced chip-on-flex and surface
mount technology assemblies. The venture, ADFlex Thailand Limited, is 80% owned
by the Company. The Company is in the process of transferring equipment and
technical expertise from its existing operations and anticipates beginning
initial shipments in the fourth quarter of 1996.

         Foreign Operations
         The Company's primary finishing and assembly facilities are located in
Agua Prieta, Mexico and Havant, United Kingdom. While the Company believes that
it has established good relationships with its labor force and the local
governments, the spread of the manufacturing process over multiple countries
subjects the Company to risks inherent in international operations. In light of
the Company's increased international presence, the Company is in the process of
developing and implementing a foreign exchange policy to mitigate against the
risk of foreign currency fluctuations in its operations. All of the Company's
sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996 were in United
States dollars.

         Future Operations
         The Company conducted environmental studies of its facility in
Chandler, Arizona which discovered a limited amount of soil contamination that
may require remediation. While the investigation of the extent of this
contamination has not been completed, based on the preliminary information
currently available to it, the Company believes that the costs associated with
the investigation and remediation of this situation will not have a material
adverse effect on its operations or financial condition; however, given the
uncertainties associated with environmental contamination, until a full
investigation is completed there can be no assurance that such costs will not
have a material adverse impact on the Company. Pursuant to the agreements with
Rogers Corporation (Rogers) through which the Company acquired its U.S. and
Mexico flex business, Rogers has retained all environmental liabilities existing
prior to the date of the transaction. While Rogers currently has sufficient
assets to fulfill its obligations under the acquisition agreements, if
pre-closing environmental liabilities requiring remediation are discovered and
the Company was unable to enforce the acquisition agreement against Rogers, the
Company could become subject to costs and damages relating to such environmental
liabilities. Any such costs and damages imposed on the Company could materially
adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition and results of
operations.

         In mid 1995, the Company acquired a manufacturing facility located in
Agua Prieta, Mexico. In connection with this acquisition, the Company conducted
an environmental study of the facility which indicated the contamination by
hazardous materials in the soil and groundwater. Pursuant to the purchase
agreement, the sellers have submitted a remediation plan to the appropriate
Mexican authorities and are currently awaiting approval. The sellers' obligation
for cost of remediation is limited to $2,500,000. A total of $975,000 is being
held in escrow pending sellers' performance of their environmental obligations
under the agreement.

         The Company is subject to a variety of environmental laws relating to
the storage, discharge, handling, emission, generation, manufacture, use and
disposal of hazardous material used to manufacture the Company's flex products.
The Company believes that it has been operating its facilities in substantial
compliance in all material respected with existing environmental laws. However,
the Company cannot predict the nature, scope or effect of legislation or
regulatory requirements that could be imposed or how existing or future laws or
regulations will be administered or interpreted with respect to products or
activities to which they have not previously been applied. 

                                       10
<PAGE>   11
Compliance with more stringent environmental laws, as well as more vigorous
enforcement policies of regulatory agencies, could require substantial
expenditures by the Company and could adversely affect the results of operations
of the Company.
