     have been prepared based upon prescribed guidance of the
     Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). As such, they do not
     include all disclosures required by generally accepted
     accounting principles, and should be read in conjunction with
     the annual audited consolidated statements as of and for the
     year ended August 31, 1995 contained in the Company's 1995
     annual report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, the
     accompanying consolidated financial statements include all
     adjustments, consisting of normal and recurring adjustments
     necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position,
     results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented
     when read in conjunction with the annual audited consolidated
     financial statements and related notes thereto. The results of
     operations for the nine month period ended May 31, 1996 are not
     necessarily indicative of the results that should be expected
     for a full fiscal year.

  B) Net Income Per Share

     Net income per share is computed using the weighted average
     number of common shares and dilutive common equivalent shares
     outstanding during the applicable period. Common equivalent
     shares consist of stock options, using the treasury stock
     method. 

2) Public Stock offering                                

     The Company completed a secondary public offering of 4,025,000
     shares on November 3, 1995 in which the Company sold 2,875,000
     shares (including an over-allotment option of 375,000 shares)
     and certain selling stockholders sold 1,150,000 shares.  Net
     proceeds to the Company (net of underwriters' discounts,
     commissions and other offering costs of $350,000) were
     approximately $39,152,500. 

3) Debt

    	In May 1996 , the Company completed a private placement of $50
     million  Senior Notes due 2004. The Notes have a fixed interest
     rate of 6.89%, with interest payable on a semi-annual basis.
     Principal is payable in six equal annual installments beginning
     May 30, 1999.

4) Note Payable to Bank

     In May 1996 the Company renegotiated their secured line of
     credit facility and has established a $60,000,000 unsecured
     revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks
     ("Revolver"). At May 31, 1996 there were no borrowings under the
     revolver and the entire $60,000,000 was available.  Under the
     terms of the Revolver, borrowings may be made under either
     Floating Rate Loans, or Eurodollar rate loans. The Company pays
     interest on outstanding floating rate loans at the bank's prime
     rate. The Company pays interest on outstanding Eurodollar loans
     at the London Interbank Offering Rate (LIBOR) in effect at the
     loan inception date plus a factor of .75% to 1.25% depending on
     the company's funded debt to total capitalization ratios. The
     Company pays a commitment fee on the unused portion of the
     Revolver at .175% to .25% depending on the Company's funded debt
     to total capitalization ratios. 



5) Commitments and Contingencies

    	At May 31, 1996 the Company had outstanding approximately
     $1,000,000 in equipment purchase commitments.
 
	    During the 1993 and 1994 fiscal years, the Company and Epson
     America, Inc. ("Epson") entered into several written and oral
     agreements and purchase orders providing for the joint
     development by the parties, and manufacture by the Company, of
     notebook computers pursuant to specifications provided by Epson.
     Pursuant to the parties' agreements, the Company procured
     materials for production. The Company contends that Epson
     breached the agreement by refusing to honor its purchase
     commitments citing production delays resulting from the
     unavailability of certain components and defects in certain
     materials supplied to the Company. On December 23, 1994, the
     Company instituted a breach of contract action against Epson in
     the Circuit Court of the Sixth Judicial Circuit of the State of
     Florida, requesting certain specified and unspecified monetary
     damages, including damages in an amount equal to $6,278,282,
     representing unpaid receivables, and incidental and
     consequential damages, including, among others, loss of design
     and development costs, costs of unused or specially purchased
     inventory and lost profits. Such action was subsequently removed
     to the United States District Court for the Middle District of
     Florida. On July 21, 1995, Epson filed a counterclaim citing
     damages in excess of $52 million for, among other things, breach
     of contract and negligent misrepresentation. The Company
     mitigated damages arising from Epson's breach by selling
     notebook computers to an electronics distributor. Epson contends
     that the Jabil computer manual furnished with these computers
     infringed certain Epson copyrights. The Company expects
     discovery to conclude during the fourth quarter of fiscal 1996
     and the trial to commence later in the 1996 calendar year.  
 8

     The parties have been unsuccessful in mediating or arbitrating
     their dispute, despite participation in multiple mediation and 
     non-binding arbitration sessions. The Company intends to pursue 
     aggressively its legal claims and contest vigorously Epson's 
     counterclaims. The Company believes strongly in the validity of 
     its claims and believes that any potential exposure to the Company 
     is substantially less than the $52 million claimed by Epson. 
     However, such litigation may result in substantial costs and 
     diversion of resources and, given the uncertainties inherent 
     in litigation, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's 
     operating results and financial condition, if decided adversely to 
     the Company.

     The Company's net revenue for the third quarter and first nine
     months of fiscal 1996 increased 65.9% and 94.6% to $220 million
     and $689 million respectively from $132 million and $354 million
     in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 1995. 
     These increases were due primarily to increased demand from
     established customers.  Foreign source revenue represented 28%
     and 33% of net revenue for the third quarter and first nine
     months of fiscal 1996, compared to 25% and 14% for the same
     periods of fiscal 1995. Quarterly and year to date increases in
     foreign sales are attributable to increased sales from the
     Company's foreign operations in Scotland and Malaysia along with
     increased exports to customer's foreign sites.
    


    	Gross margin increased to 8.4% and 7.8% for the third quarter
     and first nine months of fiscal 1996 from 5.9% and 6.4% for the
     comparable periods of fiscal 1995.  This increase was primarily
     a result of  increased utilization of the Company's domestic and
     foreign manufacturing facilities. Additionally, 1995 third
     quarter and year to date margins were reduced by the effect of
     valuation reserves related to the Epson project which reduced
     gross margins 2.0% and 1.1% of revenues, respectively.
  


    	Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to 3.0%
     and 2.6% in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal
     1996 compared to 3.4% and 3.7% in the same periods of  fiscal
     year 1995.   In absolute dollars, these expenses increased over
     the comparable periods of fiscal 1995 by $2.1 million and $5.0
     million due to increases in certain variable expenses including
     increased staffing to support increased revenue levels, the
     addition of the Company's Malaysia operation, and certain
     non-recurring costs associated with the private placement of
     debt.



    	Research and development expenses of 0.3% in the third quarter
     were consistent as a percentage of net revenue with those in
     fiscal 1995 while decreasing for the first nine months of fiscal
     1996 to 0.2% as compared to 0.3% for the same period of fiscal
     1995.  In absolute dollars, the expenses were up slightly  in
     fiscal 1996 due to the expansion of circuit design activities.
   


    	Interest expense increased $0.2 million and $2.5 million,
     respectively in the third quarter and first nine months of
     fiscal 1996 to $1.8 million and $6.8 million from $1.5 million
     and $4.3 million in the comparable periods of fiscal 1995. This
     increase was due to additional short-term and long-term
     borrowings required to support the Company's increased
     activities, international expansion, and to a lesser extent,
     higher effective interest rates.
 11
 

    	The Company's effective tax rate increased to 35.1% for the
     third quarter of fiscal 1996  from 14.4% in fiscal 1995. The
     lower effective rate in the third quarter of fiscal 1995 was a
     result of the utilization of loss carryforwards against the
     income of the Company's foreign subsidiary in Scotland.  The
     effective rate for the first nine months of fiscal 1996 was
     35.6% as compared to 42.4% for the first nine months of fiscal
     1995. This rate difference was primarily due to net operating
     losses at the Company's foreign subsidiary in Scotland which
     could not be utilized to offset other Company earnings for U.S.
     income tax purposes in the first nine months of fiscal 1995. The
     effective tax rate for fiscal 1996 was slightly above the U.S.
     regulatory rate of 35% due to domestic state income taxes which
     were slightly offset by lower effective tax rates at the
     Company's foreign subsidiaries.







  Liquidity and Capital Resources 



   	 At May 31, 1996 the Company's principal sources of liquidity
     consisted of cash and available borrowings under the Company's
     credit facilities.  The Company and its subsidiaries have
     committed line of credit facilities in place with a syndicate of
     banks that provide up to $60 million of working capital
     borrowing capacity. 
 


     The Company generated $50.4 million of cash in operating
     activities for the nine months ended May 31, 1996. This increase
     in cash was primarily due to decreases in inventories of  $32.3
     million and accounts receivable of $17.8 million, depreciation
     and amortization of $12.9 million and net income of $17.8
     million offset by a decrease in accounts payable of $28.8
     million.

	

    	Net cash used in investing activities of $23.2 million for the
     nine months ended May 31, 1996 was a result of the Company's
     capital expenditures for equipment at both domestic and foreign
     operations in order to support increased activities.
    
 12 

     The company used  $4.7 million of cash in financing activities
     for the nine months ended May 31, 1996.  This was  attributable
     to a $73 million  reduction in borrowings under the company's
     line of credit facilities and a $30.8 million reduction in
     certain long term debt offset by $39.8 million received from the
     Company's secondary public offering completed November 3, 1995
     and $ 59.9 million in proceeds from long term debt.   At May 31,
     1996 there were no borrowings under the working capital facility
     versus $73.0 million at August 31, 1995.  
    


    	In May 1996 , the Company completed a private placement of $50
     million  Senior Notes due 2004.
  


     At May 31, 1996, borrowing capacity of $60.0 million was
     available under the working capital facility which expires in
     1998.  

	

    	The Company believes that funds provided by operations and
     available under the credit agreements combined with trade credit
     from its vendors and  proceeds from the secondary public
     offering and debt financing will be sufficient to satisfy its
     currently anticipated working capital and capital expenditure
     requirements for the next twelve months.
   


  Business Factors


    	Due to the nature of turnkey manufacturing and the Company's
     relatively small number of customers, the Company's quarterly
     operating results are affected by the levels and timing of
     orders;  the level of capacity utilization of its manufacturing
     facilities and associated fixed costs; fluctuations in materials
     costs;  and by the mix of materials costs versus manufacturing
     costs. Similarly, operating results are affected by price
     competition; level of experience in manufacturing a particular
     product; degree of automation used in the assembly process;
     efficiencies achieved by the Company in managing inventories and
     fixed assets; timing of expenditures in anticipation of
     increased sales; customer product delivery requirements; and
     shortages of components or labor.  In the past, some of the
     Company's customers have terminated their manufacturing
     arrangement with the Company, and other customers have
     significantly reduced or delayed the volume of manufacturing
     services ordered from the Company.  Any such termination of a
     manufacturing relationship or change, reduction or delay in
     orders could have an adverse affect of the Company's results of
     operations. 

 13

    	In particular, Quantum Corporation announced in January 1996
     the cancellation of orders to Jabil for the manufacture of
     subassemblies for its high end disk drive products.  This
     cancellation is expected to have an adverse impact on the
     Company's Malaysian plant over the next quarter.  In light of
     this event and uncertain general industry conditions for the
     second half of calendar 1996 for computer equipment
     manufacturers, the Company's management intends to closely
     monitor manufacturing costs and to maintain flexibility in order
     to respond to changing business conditions and uncertainty. 
     There can be no assurance that these events plus changing
     business conditions and uncertainties will not have an adverse
     effect on the Company's results of operations or financial
     condition.


  Litigation

     During the 1993 and 1994 fiscal years, the Company and Epson 
     America, Inc. ("Epson") entered into serveral written and oral
     agreements and purchase orders providing for the joint development 
     by the parties, and manufacture by the Company, of notebook computers
     pursuant to specifications provided by Epson. Pursuant to the parties'
     agreements, the Company procured materials for production.  The Company
     contends that Epson breached the agreement by refusing to honor its
     purchase commitments citing production delays resulting from the
     unavailability of certain components and defects in certain materials
     supplied to the Company.  On December 23, 1994, the Company instituted
     a breach of contract action against Epson in the Circuit Court of the
     Sixth Judicial Circuit of the State of Florida, requesting certain 
     specified and unspecified monetary damages, including damages in an 
     amount equal to $6,278,282, representing unpaid receivables, and 
     incidental and consequential damanges, including, among others, loss 
     of design and development costs, costs of unused or specially purchased
     inventory and lost profits.  Such action was subsequently removed to 
     the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida.  
     On July 21, 1995, Epson filed a counterclaim citing damages in excess 
     of $52 million for, among other things, breach of contract and negligent 
     misrepresention.  The Company mitigated damages arising from Epson's 
     breach by selling notebook computers to an electronics distributor.  
     Epson contends that the Jabil computer manual furnished with these 
     computers infringed certain Epson copyrights.  The Company expects 
     discovery to conclude during the second quarter of fiscal 1996 and 
     the trial to commence later in 1996 calendar year.  The parties have 
     been unsuccessful in mediating or arbitrating their dispute, despite 
     participation in multiple mediation and non binding arbitration 
     sessions. The Company intends to pursue aggressively its legal claims 
     and contest vigorously Epson's counterclaims. The Company believes 
     strongly in the validity of its claims and believes that any potential 
     exposure to the Company is substantially less than the $52 million 
     claimed by Epson.However, such litigation may result in substatial 
     costs and diversion of resources and, given the uncertainties inherent 
     in litigation, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's 
     operating results and financial  condition, if decided adversely to 
     the Company.
