ITEM 2. 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.

Annual and/or quarterly 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.

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

The following summary of risk factors relevant to an investment in shares of the
Company's common stock is derived, in part, from the section captioned "Risk
Factors" in the prospectus of the Company dated February 13, 1996 (the
"Prospectus"), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") pursuant to the initial registration of shares of common stock of
the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").
This discussion does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified
by, the discussion of risk factors set forth in the Prospectus. A copy of the
Prospectus may be inspected without charge at the Commission's principal offices
in Washington, D.C. and copies of all or any part thereof may be obtained from
such office upon payment of prescribed fees. The Commission also maintains a
World Wide Website which provides online access to reports, proxy and
information statements and other information regarding registrants that they
file electronically with the Commission (including the Company) at the address
http:// www.sec.gov.

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 

                                       8

   9

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.

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. Due to the factors noted above and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and
other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company's future
earnings and stock price may be subject to significant volatility, particularly
on a quarterly basis. Past financial performance should not be considered a
reliable indicator of future performance and investors should not use historical
trends to anticipate results or trends in future periods. Any shortfall in
revenue and earnings from the levels anticipated by securities analysts could
have an immediate and significant effect on the trading price of the Company's
common stock in any given period. Also, the Company participates in a highly
dynamic industry which often results in volatility of the Company's common stock
price.

Concentration of Customers. The Company's customer base is highly concentrated.
The Company's three largest customers accounted for approximately 54.8%, 9.6%
and 3.4%, respectively, of net sales for the three months ended June 27, 1998.
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. In addition, the Company's objective is to develop new and expand
existing relationships with leading and emerging OEM's in the electronics
industry. Such emerging growth and technology companies tend to have limited
operating histories, and also may have changes in management and limited
capitalization. As a result, the Company may experience difficulties in
maintaining long-term relationships with these customers and in receiving
payment for services rendered to them. To the extent that any significant
customers of the Company terminate their relationship with the Company, or the
Company is unable, for any reason, to receive payment for its services, the
Company's business, financial condition and results of operations likely would
be materially and adversely affected.

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.
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.

Year 2000 Compliance. In fiscal 1998, the Company began a year 2000 data
assessment project to address all necessary code changes, testing and
implementation for all of its systems. Many of the Company's business and
operating systems are currently year 2000 compliant, and therefore, the Company
is undertaking additional efforts to identify and modify those systems which may
not be year 2000 

                                       9
   10


compliant. Anticipated spending for the year 2000 date conversion project will
be expensed as incurred or new software will be capitalized and amortized over
the software's useful life and is not expected to have a significant impact on
the Company's results of operations. Project completion is planned during fiscal
1999. The costs of the project and the date on which the Company believes it
will complete the year 2000 modifications are based on management's best
estimates, which are derived utilizing numerous assumptions of future events,
including the continuous availability of certain resources and other factors.
However, there can be no guarantee that these estimates will be achieved and
actual results could differ materially from those anticipated. Specific factors
that might cause such material differences include, but are not limited to, the
availability and cost of personnel trained in this area, the ability to locate
and correct all relevant computer codes, and similar uncertainties. In addition,
there can be no assurance that the systems of other companies on which the
Company's systems rely will be converted on a timely basis or that such failure
by another company to convert would not have an adverse effect on the Company's
systems.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net sales for the three months ended June 27, 1998 increased 81.1% to $44.3
million from $24.5 million for the same prior year period. The higher sales
levels primarily represents increased shipments to the Company's major customers
in the computer segment of the electronics market.

Gross profit for the three months ended June 27, 1998 increased 33.7% to $3.1
million from $2.3 million in the comparable prior year period. 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). The increase in gross profit primarily resulted
from higher sales levels which provided increased coverage of fixed expenses.
Gross margin (gross profit as a percentage of net sales) decreased to 6.9% for
the first quarter of fiscal 1999 from 9.4% for the comparable prior year period.
The decrease in gross margin mainly reflects anticipated changes in product mix
towards higher material content customer programs.

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 June 27, 1998 increased
10.0% to $1.8 million compared to $1.6 million in the corresponding period last
year. The increase in SG&A expenses mainly reflects expenses related to employee
additions. SG&A expenses represented 4.0% of net sales for the three months
ended June 27, 1998 compared to 6.6% for the three months ended June 28, 1997.
The decrease in SG&A expenses as a percentage of sales reflects the effects of
cost controls and higher sales levels.

Other (expense) income, net for the three months ended June 27, 1998 reflected
expense of $179,000 compared to income of $61,000 in the corresponding period in
fiscal 1998. The change in other (expense) income is mainly due to interest
expense incurred on borrowings under the term note and revolving line of credit.

The provision for income taxes of $420,000 and $278,000 reflects an effective
tax rate of 38.0% for the three months ended June 27, 1998 which was relatively
flat with the 37.9% effective tax rate for the three month period ended June 28,
1997.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Working capital was $21.9 million and $21.0 million as of June 27, 1998 and
March 28, 1998, respectively. In addition to the Company's working capital as of
June 27, 1998, which includes cash and cash equivalents of $7.2 million, the
Company has $16.1 million available from unused credit facilities.

Net cash used for operating activities was $2.3 million during the first quarter
due to working capital needs associated with higher sales levels. Net cash
provided by operating activities was $259,000 during the three month period
ended June 28, 1997.

Capital expenditures during the three months ended June 27, 1998 and June 28,
1997 were $545,000 and $3.1 million, respectively. The decrease in capital
expenditures was primarily due to capital investments made in the prior year
associated with the Company's new manufacturing and administrative facilities in
Austin, Texas.

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 1999
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 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% with a
maturity of 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.

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.



                                       10

   11

The Company believes its working capital, together with cash flows from
operations and financing facilities, will be sufficient to meet operating and
capital requirements through its 1999 fiscal year end.

BACKLOG

The Company's backlog as of June 27, 1998 was approximately $114.8 million
compared to approximately $112.3 million at March 28, 1998. 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 June 27, 1998, the Company had 675 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.
