Item 1.  CHANGES IN CONTROL OF REGISTRANT

     Pursuant to the terms of a previously reported Agreement and Plan for
Merger dated as of February 16, 1998 (the "Merger Agreement") among Continental
Circuits Corp. (the "Company"), Hadco Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation
("Parent") and Hadco Acquisition Corp. II, a Delaware Corporation and a direct
wholly owned subsidiary of Parent ("Purchaser"), on March 20, 1998, Purchaser
accepted for payment 7,276,708 shares (including 90,427 shares tendered pursuant
to guaranteed delivery procedures) of common stock, par value $.01 per share of
the Company, at a purchase price of $23.90 per share, pursuant to Purchaser's
tender offer (the "Offer").

     In addition, on March 20, 1998, a Certificate of Ownership and Merger was
filed with the Delaware Secretary of State resulting in the merger of Purchaser
with and into the Company (the "Merger") with the Company surviving the Merger
as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. The Company was renamed Hadco Phoenix,
Inc. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, holders of the Company's common stock
immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (other than shares owned
by the Parent, the Purchaser, the Company or any of their respective
subsidiaries, or shareholders who properly perfect appraisal rights in
accordance with Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended)
are entitled to receive $23.90 in cash for each share of the Company's common
stock previously held by them.

     The purchase price for the shares of the Company acquired in the Offer and
pursuant to the Merger Agreement was determined by arms-length negotiation
between the Parent and the Company and was funded by a $400 million senior
revolving credit facility, among the Parent, the banks thereto, and BankBoston,
N.A., Individually and as Agent.

     Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, all of the Company's directors have
resigned from the Company's Board of Directors and have been replaced by
Parent's designee.
