                                NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

         The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Elexsys
         International,  Inc. and its subsidiaries  (the "Company")  contain all
         adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, which, in
         the  opinion  of  management,  are  necessary  to  present  fairly  the
         financial  position of the  Company as of March 30, 1996 and  September
         30, 1995,  the results of its  operations  for the three and six months
         ended  March 30,  1996 and April 1, 1995 and its cash flows for the six
         months ended March 30, 1996 and April 1, 1995. Certain  information and
         footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements have
         been  condensed  or omitted  pursuant to rules and  regulations  of the
         Securities and Exchange Commission,  although the Company believes that
         the disclosures in the consolidated  financial  statements are adequate
         to make the information presented not misleading.

         The consolidated financial statements included herein should be read in
         conjunction with the consolidated  financial  statements of the Company
         for the year ended September 30, 1995, included in the Company's Annual
         Report on Form 10-K for that fiscal year.

         Inventories consist of the following (in thousands):

Note 3 - Earnings Per Share

         Primary and fully  diluted  earnings per common share for the three and
         six months  ended March 30,  1996 and April 1, 1995 have been  computed
         based on weighted  average common shares  outstanding  and common stock
         equivalents  (stock  options)  as of the above dates and do not include
         the assumed  conversion of the 5 1/2 percent  Convertible  Subordinated
         Debentures  due 2012 into common  stock as such effect  would have been
         antidilutive.


Note 4 - Income Taxes

         In the first six months of 1996,  the Company  recorded a provision  of
         $3,000 for  income  taxes.  This  related to a  provision  for  federal
         alternative  minimum  taxes of $139,000  partially  offset by a foreign
         income tax benefit of $136,000  based on the Company's  United  Kingdom
         subsidiary  net  operating  loss for the first six months of 1996.  The
         remaining  carryforwards,  for which  future  benefit  is not  assured,
         expire in various amounts through 2008.

                                NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Note 5 - Translation of Foreign Currencies

         Assets and liabilities of the Company's  United Kingdom  subsidiary are
         translated  into US dollars at the exchange  rates in effect at the end
         of the  period.  Revenue  and  expense  accounts  are  translated  at a
         weighted  average of  exchange  rates  which were in effect  during the
         year. Translation adjustments that arise from translating the Company's
         United Kingdom subsidiary's financial statements from pound sterling to
         US dollars are  accumulated  in a separate  component of  stockholders'
         equity.  Transaction  gains and losses  that arise from  exchange  rate
         changes on transactions  denominated in a currency other than the local
         currency are included in results of operations as incurred. For the six
         months ended March 30, 1996, there were no material  transaction  gains
         or losses.


Note 6 - Purchase of the assets of Anetec Technologies, Inc.

         The Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of May 3,
         1996 to acquire  the  assets on Anetec  Technologies,  Inc.,  a company
         serving the small  prototype  and  engineering  marketplace  located in
         Fremont,  California  for $1 million in cash, a promissory  note in the
         principal  amount of $1 million  and  100,000  shares of the  Company's
         common stock. As of May 14, 1996, the transaction had not closed.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


                                                     
The following  discussion  should be read in conjunction  with the  Consolidated
Financial Statements and Notes thereto contained elsewhere within this Report on
Form 10-Q. Except for the historical information contained herein, the following
discussion   contains   forward-looking   statements   that  involve  risks  and
uncertainties.  The actual future results of the Company could differ materially
from those  discussed  here.  Factors  that could  cause or  contribute  to such
differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in this section and
those  discussed in the  Company's  Form 10-K for the year ended  September  30,
1995.


Results of Operations

Net sales
Net sales  increased  30  percent  for the three  months  ended  March 30,  1996
compared to the second  quarter of fiscal  1995.  For the six months ended March
30,  1996,  net sales  increased  29 percent  over net sales for the  comparable
period in fiscal  1995.  The  increase in net sales  resulted  from an increased
demand for printed circuit boards from the Company's existing customer base, new
customers, and the April 1995 acquisition in the United Kingdom.

Cost of sales
Cost  of  sales  as  a  percentage of net sales  improved from 92 percent in the
second  quarter of fiscal  1995 to 81 percent  for the second  quarter of fiscal
1996. For the six months ended March 30, 1996,  cost of sales as a percentage of
net sales improved from 90 percent for the first six months of fiscal 1995 to 81
percent for the six month period ended March 30, 1996.  The  improvement in cost
of sales for the three and six months ended March 30, 1996 was  attributable  to
improved  operating  efficiencies,  cost  reductions  and  a  one-time  worker's
compensation  dividend  payment of  approximately  $560,000  partially offset by
start-up costs associated with the Company's new plants in  the  United Kingdom 
and Plano, Texas.


Selling, General and Administrative
Selling,  general and administrative (SG&A) expense for the three and six months
ended March 30, 1996 increased 42 percent as compared to the similar fiscal 1995
periods.  As a percentage of net sales,  SG&A increased from 9.4 percent for the
second  quarter of fiscal 1995 to 10.3 percent for the second  quarter of fiscal
1996. SG&A as a percentage of net sales increased from 9.2 percent for the first
six months of fiscal  1995 to 10.2  percent  for the six months  ended March 30,
1996.  The increase in SG&A was due to the  inclusion of the SG&A expense of the
Company's  new United  Kingdom  subsidiary,  and an increase in employee  costs,
resulting primarily from the replacement of manufacturing  representatives  with
direct sales employees.

Research and development
Research and development  expenditures for the three months ended March 30, 1996
decreased 23 percent  compared to the second quarter of fiscal 1995. For the six
months ended March 30, 1996, research and development  expenditures decreased 44
percent from the  comparable  six month period of fiscal 1995.  The decrease was
due to reduced  engineering  labor and benefit  costs as a  consequence  of past
restructurings by the Company.

Interest expense, net
Interest  expense,  net of interest  income,  decreased 35 percent for the three
months ended March 30, 1996 from the comparable  quarter in fiscal 1995. For the
six months  ended March 30,  1996,  interest  expense,  net of interest  income,
decreased 25 percent from the  comparable  six month period of fiscal 1995.  The
decrease is mainly  attributable to a decrease in borrowings from an asset-based
lender  in  the  second  quarter  of  1996  and a  reduction  in the  number  of
outstanding  convertible  subordinated debentures due to the March 1995 exchange
of debentures for the Company's common stock, partially offset by an increase in
interest expense incurred by the Company's subsidiary in the United Kingdom.

Factors that may affect future results
The Company's future operating results may be adversely  affected by a number of
factors,  including general economic conditions,  foreign competition,  industry
consolidation,  the  Company's  ability to  develop,  manufacture,  and sell its
products  profitably,  and the  cyclical  nature of the  business of some of the
Company's customers.

The Company participates in a highly competitive  industry.  The printed circuit
board industry has been  characterized by stringent  customer demands for timely
deliveries, service and quality of products and by aggressive pricing practices.
The Company's  operating results could be materially  adversely  affected should
the Company be unable to meet any one of these customer demands.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company recorded cash flows from operating activities of $5.3 million during
the first six months of fiscal 1996  compared to $53,000  during the same period
of the previous year. Higher positive cash flow provided by operating activities
during  the  first  six  months of fiscal  1996 was  primarily  due to  improved
profitability, partially offset by an increase in the use of working capital.

The cash provided by operating  activities  was offset by cash used by investing
activities of $4,358,000  (used for the purchase of capital  equipment) and cash
used by financing  activities of $1,554,000 (used primarily for the repayment of
short-term  borrowings  and  long-term  debt,  less  amounts  received  from the
exercise of stock options by certain employees and additions to long-term debt).
Capital equipment was purchased for normal  replacement,  for processes that the
Company had previously  outsourced,  and for the  enhancement  of  manufacturing
capabilities.

As of March 30, 1996, the Company had short-term  borrowings with an asset-based
lender,  net of cash collections  held by the lender,  of $1,178,000 under a $15
million line of credit  agreement that was  established on December 17, 1993 and
amended on January 30, 1996.  Under the terms of the  agreement,  the  Company's
cash  collections  are applied to any  outstanding  borrowings upon the receipts
clearing the bank. At March 30, 1996, the  asset-based  lender was in possession
of $436,000 of the Company's cash collections.  Accordingly, such funds are owed
to the Company upon clearing the bank. The line of credit is  collateralized  by
substantially  all of the  Company's  assets and its will remain in effect until
December 17, 1997.  The Company was in  compliance  with all of the covenants as
defined within the agreement.

At March 30, 1996 the  Company  had  outstanding  commitments  to  purchase  the
remaining  $1.3 million  balance of a $1.6  million  order for  electrical  test
equipment to support expanded  capacity.  On April 11, 1996, the Company entered
into an equipment lease agreement for approximately $1.5 million to finance such
equipment.

During the six month period,  the Company's  ratio of current  assets to current
liabilities  improved  from 1.4 to 1 to 1.6 to 1.  Management  believes that the
Company's existing working capital,  its remaining  borrowing capacity and funds
generated from operations  will be sufficient to meet projected  working capital
requirements and other cash requirements through fiscal 1996.
