XeTel incorporates its design and prototype services and assembly capabilities together with supply chain management, materials management, advanced testing, systems integration services and order fulfillment to provide turnkey solutions for its customers. NOTE 2 BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules or regulations. In the opinion of management, the financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results, and cash flows for those periods presented. The results of operations for the period ended September 27, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the fiscal year ending March 28, 1998. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements, and notes thereto, for the fiscal year ended March 29, 1997 as presented in the Company's 10-K filed with the SEC. NOTE 3 NET INCOME PER SHARE Earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding (if dilutive) during the period. Common share equivalents include stock options. The number of common share equivalents outstanding relating to stock options is computed using the treasury stock method. In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings per Share ("SFAS No. 128"). The new standard, which is effective for financial statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997, establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings per share (EPS) and upon adoption requires restatement of all prior period EPS data presented. The Company will implement this standard in the third quarter of fiscal 1998. The implementation of the standard will result in the presentation of a basic EPS calculation in the financial statements as well as a diluted EPS calculation. Under SFAS No. 128, basic and diluted earnings per share will not differ materially from the amounts currently reported.

The facility requires payment of a commitment fee equal to one-eighth of 1% (1/8%) on the unused balance, and borrowings are limited based upon certain collateral availability requirements. The term loan facility bears interest at 9.2%, is secured by certain assets, and matures on August 31, 2000. The equipment financing facility provides for the leasing of equipment over a five-year period commencing on the date of acceptance of such equipment. All equipment leased to date under this facility has qualified for operating lease treatment. The line of credit from Rohm is secured by certain equipment, bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.25%, is payable upon demand and expires on March 31, 1998. The financing facilities contain certain restrictions which include maintenance of a minimum level of tangible net worth and other operating and financial ratios. Interest paid totaled $34,000, $57,000, $6,600 and $6,600 for the three and six months ended September 27, 1997 and September 28, 1996, respectively. NOTE 7 LEASE COMMITMENTS XeTel leases its operating facilities and certain manufacturing and office equipment under noncancellable operating leases. Rental expense under all operating leases was approximately $743,000, $1.3 million, $311,000 and $616,000 during the three and six months ended September 27, 1997 and September 28, 1996, respectively.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The discussion in this document contains trend analysis and other forward looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements throughout this document as a result of the risk factors set forth below and other risks described in the Company's other filed SEC documents such as those associated with the Company's initial public offering and Form 10-K filing. OVERVIEW XeTel was founded in 1984. In 1986, Rohm , a diversified electronics company, acquired a controlling interest in the Company. Since its inception, the Company has manufactured surface mount assemblies and performed other manufacturing services for OEMs in the electronics industry. In a number of cases, such services were rendered during periods in which customers were experiencing fluctuations in demand for their products. During such periods, the Company's net sales and operating results were and are subject to significant fluctuations that often were and are tied to the market demand for its customers' products, competitive factors and the customers' need to utilize independent manufacturers to maintain sufficient product supply to meet such demand. In addition, in the past, the Company's customer base was concentrated within the computer industry. Due to intense competitive pressures within the computer industry, as well as fluctuations in overall demand and lower production volumes, the Company generally experienced lower gross margins. Gross margins and operating results are also affected by the level of capacity utilization of manufacturing facilities, indirect labor 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. XeTel generally has idle capacity and reduced operating margins during periods of lower-volume production. In an effort to achieve greater stability and higher gross margins, the Company made the strategic decision in 1993 to reduce its dependence on the computer industry and expand its service offerings in order to establish long-term relationships with targeted customers in diversified markets. With the addition of new management personnel in 1993, including a new President in September 1993, the Company focused certain of its resources to establish capabilities in product design and prototype, improve materials management processes, restructure the Company's management organization, establish dedicated customer teams, and to expand and diversify its customer base. The Company has reduced its role as a source of additional capacity for OEMs during periods of fluctuating product demand and has positioned itself to provide a more comprehensive set of services within the electronics manufacturing services industry. The development and growth of the Company's business has generally followed the trend by OEMs in the electronics industry to outsource certain of their manufacturing requirements. Recognizing the benefits offered by using independent manufacturers, OEMs in the electronics industry have increasingly relied on independent manufacturers not only as a source of additional manufacturing capacity during periods of fluctuating demand, but as the primary source for their manufacturing and assembly needs. In addition, the Company has developed competencies in additional areas where it can add value to its customers' requirements, such as design, prototype, systems integration and order fulfillment and has sought to use such competencies to forge long-term relationships as a single source provider of turnkey solutions for its customers. During fiscal 1997, XeTel acquired two full-service manufacturing services centers in Dallas, Texas and San Ramon, California to further establish and expand its long-term relationships with OEM's of advanced electronic products. RISK FACTORS Fluctuations in Operating Results. XeTel's operating results are affected by a number of factors, including timing of orders from and shipments to major customers, availability of materials and components, the volume of orders relative to the Company's capacity, timing of expenditures in anticipation of future sales, the gain or loss of significant customers, variations in the mix between consignment and component purchase arrangements with customers, variations in the demand for products in the industries served by the Company and general economic conditions. Operating results can also be significantly influenced by the development and introduction of new products or technologies by the Company's customers, or such customer's competitors, which may materially and adversely affect the demand for the Company's services. The Company's customers generally require short delivery cycles, and a substantial portion of the Company's backlog is typically scheduled for delivery within 120 days. In the absence of substantial backlog, quarterly sales and operating results depend on the volume and timing of bookings received during the quarter which can be difficult to forecast. Backlog fluctuations affect the Company's ability to plan production and inventory levels, which could lead to fluctuations in operating results. Variations in the size and delivery schedules of purchase orders received by the Company, changes in customers' delivery requirements, or the rescheduling or cancellation of orders and commitments, may result in substantial fluctuations in backlog from period to period. Accordingly, the Company believes that backlog may not be a meaningful indicator of future operating results. 9 A significant portion of the Company's expenses is relatively fixed in nature and planned expenditures are based in part on anticipated orders. The inability to adjust expenditures quickly enough to compensate for a decline in net sales may magnify the adverse impact of such decline in the Company's results of operations. Results of operations in any period should not be considered indicative of the results for any future period, and fluctuations in operating results may result in fluctuations in the price of the Company's common stock. Due to the foregoing factors, among others, the Company's operating results in some future quarters may be below the expectations of stock market analysts and investors. In such event, there could be an immediate and significant adverse effect on the trading price of the common stock of the Company. Concentration of Customers. The Company's customer base is highly concentrated. The Company's three largest customers accounted for approximately 25%, 24% and 6%, respectively, of net sales for the six months ended September 27, 1997. The loss of, or a significant curtailment of purchases by, one or more of these customers, or any other significant customer of the Company, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. The Company anticipates that a significant portion of its sales will continue to be concentrated in a relatively small number of customers for the foreseeable future. Unavailability of Components and Materials. Components and material used by XeTel in producing surface mount assemblies and turnkey solutions are purchased by XeTel from approved suppliers of its customers. Any failure on the part of suppliers to deliver required components to the Company or any failure of such components to meet performance requirements could impair the Company's ability to meet scheduled shipment dates and could delay sales of systems by the Company's customers and thereby adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. The Company has in the past experienced shortages of certain types of electronic components, and may experience shortages of certain electronic components that are in short supply generally within the electronics industry. Component shortages or price fluctuations, to the extent not absorbed by customers under its agreements with the Company, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. Certain components used in a number of the Company's customer programs are obtained from a single source. Variability of Customer Requirements; Absence of Long-Term Purchase Orders. The level and timing of purchase orders placed by the Company's customers are affected by a number of factors, including variation in demand for the customer's products, customer attempts to manage inventory and changes in the customer's manufacturing strategies. Many of such factors are outside of the control of the Company. The Company typically does not obtain long-term purchase orders or commitments, but instead works with its customers 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. Generally, customers may cancel, reduce or delay purchase orders and commitments without penalty, except for payment for services rendered, materials purchased or procured and, in certain circumstances, charges associated with such cancellation, reduction or delay. During fiscal 1997, certain major customers reduced significant orders with the Company due to competitive factors and efforts to rebalance inventories. Significant or numerous cancellations, reductions or delays in orders by customers, or inability by customers to pay for services provided by the Company or to pay for components and materials purchased by the Company on such customer's behalf, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. Management of Growth and Expansion. The Company's design, prototype, assembly and turnkey solutions business and multi-site locations have grown rapidly in recent years. This growth has increased the Company's fixed costs and required it to hire additional personnel. Furthermore, the Company plans to establish additional regional manufacturing services centers which will increase the Company's fixed costs and will require additional personnel. A continuing period of rapid growth, including geographic expansions, could place a significant strain on the Company's management, operations and other resources. The Company's ability to manage its growth will require it to manage its existing resources more efficiently, to continue to invest in its operations, including its financial and management information systems and internal process controls, and to retain, motivate and manage its employees. If the Company's management is unable to manage growth effectively, the quality of the Company's services and its ability to retain key personnel could be materially and adversely affected, which would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Net sales for the three months ended September 27, 1997 increased 12.9% to $22.7 million from $20.1 million for the same prior year period. Higher sales during the three months ended September 27, 1997, compared to the same period last year, primarily reflected increased shipments to the Company's major customers in the telecommunications segment of the electronics market. Net sales for the six months ended September 27, 1997 decreased 2.5% to $47.2 million from $48.4 million for the corresponding period of the prior year. Lower sales during the six months ended September 27, 1997, compared to the same period in the prior year, were primarily attributable to decreased material content associated with a change in mix of manufacturing services. 10 Gross profit for the three months ended September 27, 1997 increased to $1.7 million from $.9 million in the second quarter of last fiscal year. Gross margin (gross profit as a percentage of net sales) increased to 7.6% for the second quarter of fiscal 1998 from 4.3% for the comparable prior year period. The increase in gross profit and gross margin mainly reflected higher sales levels which provided increased coverage of fixed expenses. Gross profit is defined as net sales less cost of sales. Cost of sales consists of direct labor, direct material and manufacturing overhead (which includes manufacturing and process engineering expenses). Gross profit for the six months ended September 27, 1997 increased 6.7% to $4 million from $3.8 million in the comparable prior year period. Gross margin increased to 8.5% versus 7.8% for the comparable prior year period. The increase in gross profit and gross margin for the six months ended September 27, 1997 primarily represented the effects of higher value added services which contributed to a better absorption of fixed costs. Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses consist primarily of salaries and related expenses, marketing and promotional expenses, and sales commissions paid to direct sales personnel and independent sales representative organizations. SG&A expenses for the three months ended September 27, 1997 increased to $1.6 million compared to the $1.5 million in the corresponding period last year. SG&A expenses represented 7.2% of net sales for the three months ended September 27, 1997 compared to 7.6% for the three months ended September 28, 1996. The increase in SG&A expenses mainly reflect increased commission expense associated with higher sales levels. SG&A expenses for the six months ended September 27, 1997 increased to $3.3 million compared to $3.1 million in the comparable prior year period. SG&A expenses represented 6.9% of net sales for the six months ended September 27, 1997 compared to 6.5% for the six months ended September 28, 1996. Interest income, net for the three months ended September 27, 1997 reflected income of $8,000 compared to $83,000 in the corresponding period in fiscal 1997. Interest income, net for the six months ended September 27, 1997 reflected income of $71,000 compared to $134,000 in the corresponding prior year period. The decrease in interest income,net for the three and six months ended September 27, 1997 is primarily due to higher interest expense incurred on the term note. The provision for income taxes of $37,000 and the benefit for income taxes of $223,000 for the three months ended September 27, 1997 and September 28, 1996 respectively reflect an effective tax rate of 37.8% and 37.7%. The provision for income taxes of $316,000 and $286,000 for the six months ended September 27, 1997 and September 28, 1996, respectively, reflects an effective tax rate of 38.0% and 37.4% The effective tax rates for the three and six month periods ended September 27, 1997 remained relatively flat with the comparable prior year periods. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Working capital was $17.2 million and $20.4 million as of September 27, 1997 and March 29, 1997, respectively. In addition to the Company's working capital as of September 27, 1997, which includes cash and cash equivalents of $6.5 million, the Company has $15 million available from unused credit facilities. Net cash provided by operating activities during the three and six month periods ended September 27, 1997 was $724,000 and $983,000. Net cash provided by operating activities was $1.7 million and $2.1 million during the three and six month periods ended September 28, 1996. Capital expenditures during the three and six months ended September 27, 1997 and September 28, 1996 were $759,000, $3.9 million, $371,000, and $634,000, respectively. The increase in capital expenditures is primarily due to capital investments associated with the Company's new manufacturing facilities in Austin, Texas. Management anticipates capital expenditures in fiscal 1998 will exceed the level of capital expenditures made in fiscal 1997. The Company has (i) a revolving line of credit for $10 million from a commercial bank, (ii) a $2.5 million term loan facility, (iii) an unused equipment financing facility for $1.4 million from a financial services company, and (iv) a revolving line of credit for $3 million from Rohm. At September 27, 1997, the Company had $2.0 million outstanding under the term loan facility, compared to $-- at March 29, 1997. There were no outstanding balances under the commercial bank revolving line of credit or the revolving line of credit with Rohm as of September 27, 1997 and March 29, 1997. The bank facility bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.25% or 1.75% and/or prime (such rate determined based upon the amounts and period of loans), matures August 1998 and is secured by certain assets of the Company. The bank facility requires the payment of a monthly commitment fee equal to one-eighth of one percent (1/8%) on the unused balance, and borrowings are limited based upon certain collateral availability requirements. The term loan facility bears interest at 9.2% with a maturity of August 31, 2000. The line of credit from Rohm is secured by certain equipment, bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.25%, is payable on demand and expires on March 31, 1998. The equipment financing facility provides for the leasing of equipment over a five-year period commencing on the date of acceptance of such equipment. 11 The financing facilities contain certain restrictions which, among other things, require maintenance of a minimum level of tangible net worth and other operating and financial ratios. The Company believes that its working capital, together with cash generated from operations and financing facilities, will be sufficient to satisfy anticipated sales growth and investment in manufacturing facilities and equipment through its 1998 fiscal year end. BACKLOG The Company's backlog as of September 27, 1997 was approximately $76.8 million compared to approximately $68.5 million at June 28, 1997 and $66.1 million at March 29, 1997. Backlog consists of purchase orders received by the Company and 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 the Company, as well as changes in customers' delivery requirements or the rescheduling or cancellation of orders and commitments, has resulted in the past and may result in substantial fluctuation in backlog from period to period. Accordingly, the Company believes that backlog may not be a meaningful indicator of future operating results. See "Variability of Customer Requirements" and "Fluctuations in Operating Results." EMPLOYEES As of September 27, 1997, the Company had 595 full-time employees supplemented from time to time by part-time employees. The employees are not represented by a union, and the Company believes its employee relations to be satisfactory. The Company's success depends to an extent upon the continued services of several key employees. The loss of certain key personnel could have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company's business also depends upon its ability to continue to attract and retain senior managers and skilled employees. Failure to do so could adversely affect the Company's operations.
