THE COMPANY AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS ACTIVITIES XeTel Corporation (the "Company") provides comprehensive and customized electronics manufacturing solutions to original equipment manufacturers primarily in the networking, telecommunications and computer industries in the United States of America. The Company incorporates advanced prototype services and complex electronics manufacturing assembly capabilities together with materials and supply base management, advanced testing, systems integration services and order fulfillment, to provide turnkey solutions for its customers. NOTE 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION These interim financial statements have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). All adjustments have been made to the accompanying interim financial statements which are, in the opinion of the Company's management, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's operating results and include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature. 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. It is recommended that these interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2001. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire year. NOTE 3. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard, or SFAS, No. 141, "Business Combinations." SFAS No. 141 eliminates the pooling-of-interests method of accounting for business combinations except for qualifying business combinations that were initiated prior to July 1, 2001. The purchase method of accounting is required to be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 141 also defines the criteria for identifying intangible assets for recognition apart from goodwill. We have adopted SFAS No. 141 effective July 1, 2001. Also in July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 142 discontinues amortization of acquired goodwill and instead requires annual impairment testing. Separable intangible assets will be amortized over their useful economic lives and tested for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of." Intangible assets with an indefinite useful economic life will not be amortized until the life of the asset is determined to be finite. For goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets acquired prior to July 1, 2001, goodwill will continue to be amortized until adoption of SFAS No. 142 at which time amortization will cease and a transitional goodwill impairment test will be performed. Any impairment charges resulting from the initial application of the new rules will be classified as a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle. We must adopt SFAS No. 142 by April 1, 2002. However, we do not believe adoption of SFAS No. 142 will have a material impact on our future earnings or financial position. In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS No. 144 retains the fundamental provisions of existing generally accepted accounting principles with respect to the recognition and measurement of long-lived asset impairment contained in SFAS No. 121. However, SFAS No. 144 provides new guidance intended to address certain significant implementation issues associated with SFAS No. 121, including expanded guidance with respect to appropriate cash flows to be used to determine whether recognition of any long-lived asset impairment is required, and if required, how to measure the amount of the impairment. SFAS No. 144 also requires that any net assets to be disposed of by sale be reported at the lower of carrying value or fair market value less cost to sell, and expands the reporting of discontinued operations to include any component of an entity with operations and cash flows that can be clearly distinguished from the rest of the entity. SFAS No. 144 is effective for financial statements issued for years beginning after December 15, 2001, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, of SFAS No. 144 on our future earnings and financial position. 6 XETEL CORPORATION NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED) (UNAUDITED) NOTE 4.

(801) (745) ------------ ------------ $ 42,356 $ 49,856 ============ ============ </Table> NOTE 6. NOTES PAYABLE AND LONG-TERM DEBT As of September 29, 2001, the Company had a three-year revolving credit facility for $35 million that was entered into on March 31, 2000. There was $18.0 million outstanding under the revolving credit facility at September 29, 2001. The Company was eligible to borrow an additional $2.3 million, at September 29, 2001, pursuant to the revolving credit facility's borrowing formula. The revolving credit facility provides for automatic renewals for successive terms of equal duration thereafter unless terminated by either party prior to the renewal date. Loans under the revolving credit facility bear interest at either LIBOR plus 2.25% to 3.00% (depending upon certain financial ratios), prime (6.00% at September 29, 2001), prime plus 0.25% or prime plus 0.50% (such rate determined based upon the amounts, financial ratios and period of loans), are scheduled to mature on March 30, 2003 and are collateralized by certain of our assets. The revolving credit facility requires the payment of a monthly commitment fee equal to one-quarter of one percent (0.25% per annum) of the unused balance, and borrowings are limited based upon certain collateral availability requirements on eligible accounts receivable and inventory. In October 2001, the Company borrowed more money than it was allowed under the credit facilities borrowing formula (the "Over-advance") and additionally determined that it might violate a financial covenant in the loan agreement as of September 29, 2001. In late October, the Company and its' lender amended the credit facility effective as of October 15, 2001. The amendment i) reduced the total credit facility from $35 million to $19.5 million, ii) allowed the Company to exceed the borrowing limitations under the credit facility by $2.255 million as of October 15, 2001, $1.3 million after the close of business on October 29, 2001, $1.2 million after the close of business on November 5, 2001, $.7 million after the close of business on November 12, 2001, $0.4 million after the close of business on November 19, 2001, and after November 26, 2001, the Company must conform to the borrowing limitations of the credit facility, iii) reduced the amount of inventory included in the borrowing formula by $1 million per week beginning on November 13, 2001 for certain inventory as defined in the amendment, iv) required the Company to retain a consulting firm in November 2001, v) required the Company to pay certain amendment fees to the lender and vi) waived the Company's requirement to comply with the financial covenant through November 19, 2001, in anticipation of revising the credit agreement with new financial covenants if necessary. Since the Company only has a waiver through November 19, 2001, after which they will be in violation unless/until they can negotiate an amendment or a further waiver, the debt has been classified as a current liability. 7 XETEL CORPORATION NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED) (UNAUDITED) In July 2001, the Company issued approximately $1.7 million of trade drafts to a financial company. The proceeds from this transaction were used to pay a product supplier. The trade drafts matured in late October 2001. Due to the liquidity issues noted herein, the Company was unable to pay these trade drafts when due. On November 1, 2001 the Company entered into a Collateral Security Agreement that extended the maturity of the trade drafts until January 23, 2002 in exchange for granting the financial company a security interest in certain of the Company's fixed assets and the payment of certain fees on or before November 26, 2001. The Company is currently in compliance with the Collateral Security Agreement and intends to pay the required fees prior to the due date. The Company may require additional financing in connection with their business. They may seek additional funds from time to time through public or private debt or equity offerings or obtain further bank or lease financing or off-balance sheet financing. The need for funding and the cost of and access to additional funds, are dependent on our future operating results, the resolution of the inventory issues as discussed in Note 7, as well as external conditions. If the Company is unable to i) obtain adequate financing, ii) resolve customer inventory issues, iii) remain in compliance with the terms of their loan agreement, iv) reach satisfactory terms with their facility and equipment lessors, v) reach agreements to procure required materials and services on satisfactory terms and vi) reduce or eliminate operating losses, the Company may be forced to seek protection from its creditors or pursue the sale of the XeTel. NOTE 7. LITIGATION One previous customer refused to accept liability for a majority of the $7.5 million in inventory purchased on their behalf by XeTel, resulting in the Company filing a lawsuit against the customer in July, 2001. On November 15, 2001, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with this customer which called for, among other items i) a cash payment to us, ii) the sale of certain inventory to the former customer and iii) our retention of a portion of the inventory. At this time the Company does not expect the settlement to result in a loss and accordingly has not reflected any losses related to the transaction in the financial statements as of September 29, 2001. The Company intends to try to liquidate the inventory by i) utilizing the inventory for other customer requirements, ii) returning it to suppliers or iii) selling it to third parties, which may result in a gain or a loss. The Company also has approximately $20 million of inventory on hand for a current customer and, as a result of a decrease in demand requirements from this customer, has been working with this customer to have them purchase a large portion of this inventory. In addition to the on-hand inventory, certain of the Company's vendors are claiming additional charges for inventory it ordered on behalf of this customer and have not taken delivery of and/or cancellation charges in the amount of approximately $12 million. The Company has had numerous recent discussions with this customer. As of this date, the Company has not been able to resolve their issues with the customer. While the Company continues to try to resolve these issues with the customer, it expects to, and are prepared to, file for arbitration in November 2001. The Company expects to recover the full amount of recorded assets related to this matter and accordingly, no loss provision has been recorded at this time. NOTE 8. INCOME TAXES As a result of the Company's loss from operations in this quarter, a tax benefit of $670,000 and a related tax receivable of approximately $1.7 million were recorded. The Company had taxable income for U.S. Federal tax purposes in the applicable carryback periods to apply against a portion of the current period loss. A full valuation allowance for tax benefits and related tax assets of approximately $1.1 million was provided due to the uncertainty of generating future taxable income to utilize these assets. NOTE 9. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE Basic earnings (loss) per share ("EPS") is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the related period. Diluted EPS is similar to basic EPS except that the weighted average of common shares outstanding is increased to include the number of common share equivalents, when inclusion is dilutive. 8 XETEL CORPORATION NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED) (UNAUDITED) Common share equivalents are comprised of stock options. The number of common share equivalents outstanding relating to stock options is computed using the treasury stock method. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share (unaudited): <Table> <Caption> THREE MONTHS SIX MONTHS ENDED ENDED ------------------------------- ------------------------------- SEPTEMBER 29, SEPTEMBER 30, SEPTEMBER 29, SEPTEMBER 30, 2001 2000 2001 2000 ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- Basic earnings per share: Weighted average shares outstanding ...... 9,992 9,591 9,979 9,552 ============ ============ ============ ============ Net income (loss) ........................ $ (5,696) $ 991 $ (5,615) $ 2,551 ============ ============ ============ ============ Basic earnings (loss) per share .......... $ (0.57) $ 0.10 $ (0.56) $ 0.27 ============ ============ ============ ============ Diluted earnings per share: Weighted average shares outstanding ...... 9,992 9,591 9,979 9,552 Common stock equivalents: Stock options ............................ -- 615 -- 123 ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ 9,992 10,206 9,979 9,675 ============ ============ ============ ============ Net income (loss) ........................ $ (5,696) $ 991 $ (5,615) $ 2,551 ============ ============ ============ ============ Diluted earnings (loss) per share ........ $ (0.57) $ 0.10 $ (0.56) $ 0.26 ============ ============ ============ ============ </Table> Options to purchase 1,564,590 and zero shares of common stock were outstanding at September 29, 2001 and September 30, 2000, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the exercise of such options would be anti-dilutive. 9 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this filing. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including the risks discussed in "Risk Factors that May Affect Future Results, Financial Condition and Market Price of Securities" set forth elsewhere in this filing. All percentage amounts and ratios were calculated using the underlying data in thousands. Operating results for the three and six months ended September 29, 2001 and September 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year. OVERVIEW We were founded in 1984 and, since our inception, have manufactured surface mount assemblies and performed other manufacturing services for original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, in the electronics industry. The development and growth of our business have generally followed the trend by OEMs in the electronics industry to outsource all or a portion of their manufacturing requirements. In view of this trend, we have developed a range of electronics manufacturing services including product design, development support, advanced prototyping, materials procurement, supply base management, complex surface mount assembly, total system assembly and integration, manufacturing in various production volumes, advanced test engineering and testing, and after-market support. We have sought to forge long-term relationships with our customers as a single-source provider of comprehensive electronics manufacturing services. In recent years we have implemented strategies to diversify our customer base, improve profitability, advance our manufacturing technologies and capabilities, broaden our service offerings and expand our manufacturing capacity. We have continued to adopt advanced technologies, such as flip-chip and micro-ball grid array, in advance of the continuing emergence and commercial introduction of more complex electronics devices. In addition, we have expanded into high growth markets requiring low- to moderate-volume, highly complex manufacturing solutions, and reorganized our service offerings by establishing dedicated service centers and broadening our services in total system assembly, systems integration and order fulfillment. In the quarter ended September 29, 2001, we derived approximately 49% of our net sales from telecommunications OEMs, 22% of our net sales from networking OEMs, 13% from computer OEMs and 15% from OEMs in other industry sectors. The percentage of net sales derived from our largest customer was 13%, 33%, 32% and 13% of net sales, respectively, in the second quarter of fiscal 2002, first quarter of fiscal 2002, fourth quarter of fiscal 2001 and the second quarter of fiscal 2001. Our results of operations are affected by the level of capacity utilization of our manufacturing facilities, direct and indirect labor costs and selling, general and administrative expenses. Accordingly, gross margins and operating income margins have generally improved during periods of high volume and high capacity utilization and declined in periods of low volume and low capacity utilization. Margins also vary based on the type of services we provide. 10 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following table sets forth, as a percentage of net sales, statements of operations data for the three and six month periods ended September 29, 2001 and September 30, 2000. <Table> <Caption> THREE MONTHS SIX MONTHS ENDED ENDED -------------------------------- ------------------------------- SEPTEMBER 29, SEPTEMBER 30, SEPTEMBER 29, SEPTEMBER 30, 2001 2000 2001 2000 ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Net sales ...................................... 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% Cost of sales .................................. 122.5 91.9 101.1 91.2 ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Gross profit ...................................

(35.4)% 2.1% (10.1)% 2.9% ============ ============ ============ ============ </Table> NET SALES Net sales for the quarter ended September 29, 2001 were $16.1 million, reflecting a decrease of 65.6% from our net sales in the comparable quarter period of the prior year of $46.7 million. Sales to our three largest customers during the quarter ended September 29, 2001 represented 13%, 12% and 7% of total net sales, with no other customer accounting for more than 6% of net sales. Sales to our three largest customers during the quarter ended September 30, 2000 each represented 13%, 13% and 13% of total net sales. Net sales for the quarter ended September 29, 2001 included approximately $2.6 million of sales of excess inventory to customers. Net sales in the comparable quarter of the prior year included approximately $2.4 million of sales of excess inventory to customers. The lower sales levels for the three month period ended September 29, 2001, versus the comparable period of the prior fiscal year, reflected reduced customer demand in our primary telecommunications and networking markets and the discontinued contract manufacturing for three significant customers. Net sales for the six months ended September 29, 2001 were $55.5 million, reflecting a decrease of 38.0% from our net sales in the comparable six month period of the prior year of $89.4 million. COST OF SALES AND GROSS PROFIT Cost of sales consists of material costs, direct labor, direct material and manufacturing overhead (which includes manufacturing and process engineering expenses). Gross profit is affected by, among other factors, the level of sales, mix of services, component costs and the level of capacity utilization at our facilities. Gross profit for the quarter ended September 29, 2001 was a negative $3.6 million versus a positive $3.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2000. Our gross profit as a percentage of net sales, decreased to a negative 22.5% in the second quarter of fiscal 2002, versus a profit margin of 8.1% in the second quarter of fiscal 2001. The decrease in gross profit percentage from the prior year was due primarily to increased facility and equipment and capacity costs that were added since last year, the lower sales volume as well as employee severance charges and inventory write-offs and reserves totaling $1.1 million in the recent quarter. Gross profit for the six months ended September 29, 2001 was a negative $600,000 versus a profit of $7.9 million for the comparable six month period of the prior year. Our gross profit as a percentage of net sales, decreased to a negative 1.1% in the first six month period ended September 29, 2001, versus a profit margin of 8.8% in the comparable six month period of the prior year. SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES Selling, general and administrative, or SG&A, expenses consist primarily of salaries and related expenses, marketing and promotional expenses, outside services, travel and entertainment, provisions for bad debts and sales commissions paid to direct sales personnel and independent sales representative organizations. SG&A expenses were $2.4 million in the quarter ended September 29, 2001 versus $1.9 million in the comparable quarter of the 11 prior fiscal year. SG&A expenses represented 14.7% of net sales for the quarter ended September 29, 2001 versus 4.2% of net sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2000. The increase in SG&A expenses over the comparable quarter of the prior year was attributable to increased outside services, including legal expenses, and provisions for bad debt and employee severance of approximately $500,000. This dollar increase, coupled with lower revenues in the current quarter, generated a higher SG&A expense as a percentage of net sales versus the comparable quarter of the prior year. SG&A expenses were $4.7 million for the six months ended September 29, 2001 versus $3.8 million in the comparable six month period of the prior year. SG&A expenses represented 8.5% of net sales for the six months ended September 29, 2001 versus 4.3% of net sales for the six months ended September 30, 2000. RECOVERIES, NET Recoveries totaling $338,000 and $1.1 million in the quarter and six months ended September 30, 2000 were realized from a work out plan and forbearance agreement with a customer. The work out plan and forbearance agreement was entered into with a customer related to a provision for certain amounts receivable at the end of fiscal year 1999. As a result of the work out plan, the Company recovered substantially all of the fiscal 1999 principal amounts reserved. The work out plan also called for the issuance of warrants to acquire shares of the customer's common stock and the recovery of amounts due to the Company in the form of interest. These warrants were exercised and the shares were sold in February 2001. OTHER EXPENSE, NET Other expense, net, which consists primarily of interest expenses, for the quarter ended September 29, 2001 decreased to $378,000 compared to $563,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2000. The decrease in other expense, net was due to lower interest expense incurred as a result of lower average borrowings in the current fiscal quarter compared to the prior year as well as lower interest rates associated with the reduction in the prime lending rates during the 2001 calendar year. Other expense, net for the six months ended September 29, 2001 decreased to $885,000 compared to $972,000 for the comparable six month period of the prior year. The decrease in other expense, net was due to lower interest rates associated with the reduction in the prime lending rates during the 2001 calendar year. INCOME TAXES As a result of our loss from operations in this quarter we have recorded a tax benefit of $670,000 and a related tax receivable of approximately $1.7 million. We have taxable income for U.S. Federal tax purposes in the applicable carryback periods to apply against a portion of the current period loss. We have provided a full valuation allowance for tax benefits and related tax assets of approximately $1.1 million due to the uncertainty of generating future taxable income to utilize these assets. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Our working capital was $18.7 million at September 29, 2001, compared to $58.4 million at March 31, 2001 and included cash and cash equivalents of $1.2 million. Net cash provided by operating activities was $16.6 million for the six months ended September 29, 2001. Cash flows provided by operating activities during the six months ended September 29, 2001 primarily resulted from reductions in inventories and accounts receivable balances associated with lower sales levels, accounts receivable collections and the sale of approximately $8.6 million of excess inventory to customers. These cash flows were partially offset by reductions of trade payables, increases in prepaid expenses and the net loss. Capital expenditures during the six months ended September 29, 2001 were $0.9 million. Management anticipates that capital expenditures in fiscal 2002 will decrease from the level of capital expenditures made in fiscal 2001. As of September 29, 2001, we had a three-year revolving credit facility for $35 million that was entered into on March 31, 2000. There was $18.0 million outstanding under the revolving credit facility at September 29, 2001. We were eligible to borrow an additional $2.3 million, at September 29, 2001, pursuant to the revolving credit facility's borrowing formula. The revolving credit facility provides for automatic renewals for successive terms of equal duration thereafter unless terminated by either party prior to the renewal date. Loans under the revolving credit facility bear interest at either LIBOR plus 2.25% to 3.00% (depending upon certain financial ratios), prime (6.00% at September 29, 2001), prime plus 0.25% or prime plus 0.50% (such rate determined based upon the amounts, financial ratios and period of loans), are scheduled to mature on March 30, 2003 and are collateralized by certain of our assets. The revolving credit facility requires the payment of a monthly commitment fee equal to one-quarter of one percent (0.25% per 12 annum) of the unused balance, and borrowings are limited based upon certain collateral availability requirements on eligible accounts receivable and inventory. In October 2001, we borrowed more money than we were allowed under the credit facilities borrowing formula and determined that we might violate a financial covenant in the loan agreement as of September 29, 2001. In late October, XeTel and its' lender amended the credit facility effective as of October 15, 2001. The amendment i) reduced the total credit facility from $35 million to $19.5 million, ii) allowed us to exceed the borrowing limitations under the credit facility by $2.255 million as of October 15, 2001, $1.3 million after the close of business on October 29, 2001, $1.2 million after the close of business on November 5, 2001, $.7 million after the close of business on November 12, 2001, $0.4 million after the close of business on November 19, 2001, and after November 26, 2001, we must conform to the borrowing limitation of the credit facility, iii) reduced the amount of inventory included in the borrowing formula by $1 million per week beginning on November 13, 2001 for certain inventory as defined in the amendment, iv) required us to retain a consulting firm in November 2001, v) required us to pay certain amendment fees to the lender and vi) waived the requirement to comply with the financial covenant through November 19, 2001, in anticipation of revising the credit agreement with new financial covenants if necessary. Since we only have a waiver through November 19, 2001, after which we will be in violation unless/until we can negotiate an amendment or a further waiver, the debt has been classified as a current liability. In July 2001, we issued approximately $1.7 million of trade drafts to a financial company. The proceeds from this transaction were used to pay a product supplier. The trade drafts matured in late October 2001. Due to the liquidity issues noted herein, we were unable to pay these trade drafts when due. On November 1, 2001 we entered into a Collateral Security Agreement that extended the maturity of the trade drafts until January 23, 2002 in exchange for granting the financial company a security interest in certain of our fixed assets and the payment of certain fees on or before November 26, 2001. We are currently in compliance with the Collateral Security Agreement and intend to pay the required fees prior to the due date. At September 29, 2001, our liquidity was negatively impacted by a high level of inventory and to a lesser extent accounts receivable. During the quarter we completed the sale of approximately $2.6 million of excess customer inventories. However, one previous customer refused to accept liability for a majority of the $7.5 million in inventory we purchased on their behalf, resulting in our filing of a lawsuit against the customer in July, 2001. On November 15, 2001, we entered into a settlement agreement with this customer which called for, among other items i) a cash payment to us, ii) the sale of certain inventory to the former customer and iii) our retention of a portion of the inventory. At this time we do not expect the settlement to result in a loss and accordingly have not reflected any losses related to the transaction in the financial statements as of September 29, 2001. We intend to try to liquidate the inventory by i) utilizing the inventory for other customer requirements, ii) returning it to suppliers or iii) selling it to third parties, which may result in a gain or a loss. We also have approximately $20 million of inventory on hand for a current customer and, as a result of a decrease in demand requirements from this customer, have been working with this customer to have them purchase a large portion of this inventory. In addition to the on-hand inventory, certain of our vendors are claiming additional charges for inventory we ordered on behalf of this customer and have not taken delivery of and/or cancellation charges in the amount of approximately $12 million. We have had numerous recent discussions with this customer. As of this date, we have not been able to resolve our issues with the customer. While we continue to try to resolve these issues with the customer, we expect to, and are prepared to, file for arbitration in November 2001. We expect to recover the full amount of recorded assets related to this matter and accordingly, no loss provision has been recorded at this time. Accounts receivable have been reduced by approximately $22.2 million since March 31, 2001. However, primarily due to negative general economic conditions, our customers have slowed their payments, resulting in the number of days sales outstanding to increase from an average of 73 days at June 30, 2001 to 96 days at September 29, 2001 (using the count-back method). In several instances we have worked out payment plans or entered into forbearance agreements with current and former customers extending their payment terms to us. Other than one former customer that filed bankruptcy in August 2001, these customers are generally in compliance with the terms of the revised payment plans. Our reduced borrowing capability has also caused us to delay payment to many lessors, suppliers and other creditors. We are in discussions with our lessors about temporary rent abatements and lease restructurings; however, no agreements have been reached to date and there is no assurance that new arrangements will be accomplished. As a result of delayed rental payments, we received one default notice and may receive others while we attempt to work out revised payment terms. We have also been working with our suppliers to reach satisfactory payment terms in order to procure goods and services and to date have been generally able to secure such goods and services. 13 As noted in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2001, we have implemented plans to improve our liquidity by i) reducing new materials purchases, ii) requesting certain customers to either purchase inventories in excess of short-term manufacturing requirements or to prepay our purchases of inventories on their behalf and iii) reducing accounts receivable through increased collections efforts. While we believe that we will be able to achieve our plans, there is no assurance that our objectives will be met. Certain of our equipment operating leases contain covenants and restrictions, which, among other things, require maintenance of minimum financial ratios. At September 29, 2001, we were in compliance with these lease covenants. We may require additional financing in connection with our business. We may seek additional funds from time to time through public or private debt or equity offerings or obtain further bank or lease financing or off-balance sheet financing. Our need for funding and the cost of and access to additional funds, are dependent on our future operating results, the resolution of the inventory issues noted above, as well as external conditions. If we are unable to i) obtain adequate financing, ii) resolve customer inventory issues, iii) remain in compliance with the terms of our loan agreement, iv) reach satisfactory terms with our facility and equipment lessors, v) reach agreements to procure required materials and services on satisfactory terms and vi) reduce or eliminate our operating losses, we may be forced to seek protection from our creditors or pursue the sale of XeTel. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard, or SFAS, No. 141, "Business Combinations." SFAS No. 141 eliminates the pooling-of-interests method of accounting for business combinations except for qualifying business combinations that were initiated prior to July 1, 2001. The purchase method of accounting is required to be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 141 also defines the criteria for identifying intangible assets for recognition apartment from goodwill. We have adopted SFAS No. 141 effective July 1, 2001. Also in July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 142 discontinues amortization of acquired goodwill and instead requires annual impairment testing. Separable intangible assets will be amortized over their useful economic lives and tested for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of." Intangible assets with an indefinite useful economic life will not be amortized until the life of the asset is determined to be finite. For goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets acquired prior to July 1, 2001, goodwill will continue to be amortized until adoption of SFAS No. 142 at which time amortization will cease and a transitional goodwill impairment test will be performed. Any impairment charges resulting from the initial application of the new rules will be classified as a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle. We must adopt SFAS No. 142 by January 1, 2002. However, we do not believe adoption of SFAS No. 142 will have a material impact on our future earnings or financial position. In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS No. 144 retains the fundamental provisions of existing generally accepted accounting principles with respect to the recognition and measurement of long-lived asset impairment contained in SFAS No. 121. However, SFAS No. 144 provides new guidance intended to address certain significant implementation issues associated with SFAS No. 121, including expanded guidance with respect to appropriate cash flows to be used to determine whether recognition of any long-lived asset impairment is required, and if required, how to measure the amount of the impairment. SFAS No. 144 also requires that any net assets to be disposed of by sale be reported at the lower of carrying value or fair market value less cost to sell, and expands the reporting of discontinued operations to include any component of an entity with operations and cash flows that can be clearly distinguished from the rest of the entity. SFAS No. 144 is effective for financial statements issued for years beginning after December 15, 2001, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, of SFAS No. 144 on our future earnings and financial position. BACKLOG Our backlog at September 29, 2001 was approximately $30 million as compared to approximately $60 million at June 30, 2001, $125 million at March 31, 2001 and approximately $207 million at September 30, 2000. Backlog consists of purchase orders received by us and customer commitments under scheduled releases, both of which generally specify delivery dates within twelve months. Variations in the size and delivery schedules of purchase orders received by us, as well as changes in customers' delivery requirements or the rescheduling or cancellation of orders and commitments, have resulted in the past and may result in the future in substantial fluctuation in backlog from period to period. Accordingly, backlog may not be a meaningful indicator of our future net sales. 14 EMPLOYEES As of September 29, 2001, we had approximately 378 full-time employees, supplemented from time to time by part-time employees. Our employees are not subject to a collective bargaining agreement and we believe our employee relations to be satisfactory. RISK FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS, FINANCIAL CONDITION AND MARKET PRICE OF SECURITIES Factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated by forward-looking statements, include, but are not limited to: 1) our dependence on a limited number of suppliers and the ability to obtain sufficient components on a timely basis; 2) the loss of any of our major customers; 3) our ability to manufacture products for our customers on a cost-effective basis; 4) risk of price increases associated with shortages in the availability of electronics components; 5) working capital constraints due to customer inventory requirements or materials shortages; 6) variability in the volume and timing of our sales; 7) significant customers canceling their orders, changing production quantities or failing to pay us for our services; 8) the inability to secure additional financing when needed; 9) the inability to effectively manage our growth; 10) the expansion of our business and operations through acquisitions; 11) increased competition which may result in decreased demand or reductions in prices for our services; 12) our dependence on certain key personnel; 14) our dependence on the continuing trend by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to outsource their electronics manufacturing services (EMS) needs; 15) design or manufacturing defects in products we manufacture for our customers: 16) costs associated with plant closures or relocations and 17) provisions in our charter documents, stockholder rights plan and agreements with executives, as well as provisions of Delaware law, which could prevent or delay a change in control of us and may reduce the market price of our stock. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS The foregoing Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains various "forward looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that represent our expectations or beliefs concerning future events, including, but not limited to, statements regarding growth in sales, profit margins and the sufficiency of our cash flow for our future liquidity and capital resource needs. These forward looking statements are further qualified by important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward looking statements (for these factors, see the preceding paragraph marked "Risk Factors That May Affect Future Results, Financial Condition and Market Price of Securities" on page twelve of this document). Results actually achieved may differ materially from expected results included in these statements as a result of these or other factors. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS We invest our cash in money market funds or other instruments which meet high credit quality standards specified by our investment policy. We do not use financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes. Our credit facilities are subject to market risk by way of interest rate fluctuations. The carrying amount of our long-term debt approximates fair value due to the periodic adjustments of our interest rate on the debt to current market rates. As of September 29, 2001, our long-term debt bore interest at variable rates, generally tied to a reference rate such as LIBOR or prime rate of interest of certain lending institutions. Accordingly, our earnings and after tax cash flow are affected by changes in interest rates. In the event of an adverse change in interest rates, we would seek to take actions to mitigate our risk exposure. 15 PART II OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 4.
