JABIL CIRCUIT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Jabil
Circuit, Inc. and subsidiaries are unaudited and have been prepared
based upon prescribed guidance of the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC") for interim reporting. 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
financial statements as of and for the year ended August 31, 2000,
contained in our 2000 annual report on Form 10-K. In our opinion, 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. The results of operations for the
three-month and nine-month periods ended May 31, 2001, are not
necessarily indicative of the results that should be expected for a
full fiscal year.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and
diluted earnings per share (in thousands, except per share data):

For the three-month and nine-month periods ended May 31, 2001,
options to purchase 803,227 and 534,852 shares of common stock,
respectively, were outstanding but were not included in the computation
of diluted earnings per share because the options' exercise prices were
greater than the average market price of the common shares, and
therefore, their effect would be antidilutive. For the three-month and
nine-month periods ended May 31, 2000, 12,685 and 212,008 of options,
respectively, were excluded for the same reason.

During the quarter ended May 31, 2001, the Company issued
20-year, 1.75% convertible subordinated debt at par. Accordingly,
diluted earnings per share is calculated using the "if converted"
method, taking into account the effect that conversion of those shares
would have on both weighted shares outstanding and net income. The
calculation for the three- month period ended May 31, 2001, did not
include 2.741 million common shares which would have been outstanding
had conversion of the 1.75% convertible subordinated debt occurred, as
the effect would have been antidilutive. The calculation for the
three-month period ended May 31, 2001 also excluded the adjustment for
$324,000 of interest expense on the convertible debt had the conversion
of the debt occurred, as the effect would also have been antidilutive.
There were no antidilutive shares or interest expense adjustments
excluded for the nine-month period ending May 31, 2001. There was no
effect on earnings per share, weighted shares outstanding or net income
in the comparable periods of fiscal 2000 as the notes were not
outstanding during those periods.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

We are party to certain lawsuits in the ordinary course of
business. We do not believe that these proceedings, individually or in
the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Number 101 - Revenue
Recognition in Financial Statements. We implemented this bulletin in
the fourth fiscal quarter of our fiscal year ending August 31, 2001. As
we have historically made a practice of recognizing revenue in
accordance with the provisions of this bulletin as currently
interpreted, the adoption of the bulletin did not have a material
impact on our consolidated financial statements.

</TABLE>

NOTE 3. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

Effective September 1, 2000, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities", as amended (SFAS 133). SFAS 133 establishes accounting and
reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities and
requires that all derivatives be recorded as either assets or liabilities in the
balance sheet at fair value. There were no transition amounts recorded upon
adoption of SFAS 133.

We utilize certain derivative instruments to enhance our ability to manage
risk relating to cash flow exposure. Derivative instruments are entered into for
periods consistent with related underlying cash flow exposures and are not
entered into for speculative purposes. On the date into which the derivative
contract is entered into, the derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge.

To limit exposure to differences in the US dollar, Italian lira and
Mexican peso exchange rate fluctuations, we enter into and designate forward
contracts to hedge certain of the forecasted cash outflows. We document all
relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as our
risk-management objectives and strategies for undertaking various hedge
transactions. Changes in the derivative fair values that are designated,
effective and qualify as cash flow hedges are deferred and recorded as a
component of "Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)" until the
underlying transaction is recorded in earnings. In the period in which the
hedged item affects earnings, gains or losses on the derivative instrument are
reclassified from "Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)" to the
Consolidated Statement of Earnings in the same financial statement category as
the underlying transaction. We assess, both at the inception of the hedge and on
an on-going basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions
are highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of hedged items. The
ineffective portion of a hedging derivative's change in fair value, if any, is
recognized in earnings in the period in which it is realized.

10


During the quarter ended May 31, 2001, we recorded the change in value
related to cash flow hedges amounting to a loss of $73,000 in "Accumulated other
comprehensive income (loss)". With the exception of the time value element of
the hedging instrument, there were no amounts related to the ineffectiveness
of our hedging instruments.


At May 31, 2001, we had $6.0 million of Mexican peso and Italian lira
contracts with expiration dates between June 4 and July 30, 2001. Information
regarding the carrying value, fair market value and range of exchange rates of
the contracts is summarized in the table below:

</TABLE>


NOTE 4. CONVERTIBLE DEBT

In May 2001, we issued a total of $345 million, 20-year, 1.75%
convertible subordinated notes at par, resulting in net proceeds of
approximately $338 million. The notes mature on May 15, 2021 and pay interest
semiannually on May 15 and November 15. Each note is convertible at any time
after the date of original issuance and prior to the close of business on the
business day immediately preceding the maturity date by the holder at a
conversion rate of 24.368 shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes. Holders
may require us to purchase all or a portion of their notes on May 15 in the
years 2004, 2006, 2009 and 2014 at par plus accrued interest. We may choose to
pay the purchase price in cash or common stock valued at 95% of its market
price. We may redeem all or a portion of the notes for cash at any time on or
after May 18, 2004 at 100% of principal plus accrued interest.

NOTE 5. SEGMENT INFORMATION

Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 131, Disclosures
about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information establishes standards
for reporting information about segments in financial statements. Operating
segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate
financial information is available and that is evaluated regularly by the chief
operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing
performance.


10
11

We derive our revenue from providing manufacturing services to major
electronic companies on a contract basis. Operating segments consist of our
manufacturing locations. The services provided, the manufacturing processes,
class of customers, economic circumstances, operating margins and the order
fulfillment process is similar and generally interchangeable across
manufacturing locations. We have aggregated our operating segments into the
Electronic Manufacturing Services ("EMS") segment.

The following table sets forth segment information (in thousands):

Foreign source revenue represented 52% of net revenue for the third
quarter and 49% for the first nine months of fiscal 2001 compared to 43% and 43%
for the same periods of fiscal 2000. The increase in foreign source revenue was
attributable to increased production at our international locations, primarily
in our Mexico, Hungary and Malaysia facilities.

NOTE 6. BUSINESS ACQUISITION

During the second quarter of fiscal 2001, we announced that we had
entered into a business sale agreement with Marconi plc ("Marconi") to purchase
certain operations of its communications division located in the United States,
United Kingdom, Italy and Germany. Subsequent to the end of the third quarter of
fiscal 2001, we consummated the United Kingdom and Italy portions of the
acquisition and modified certain of the terms of the transaction. We anticipate
consummating the remaining portions of the acquisition during 2001. In
connection with this acquisition, integration costs of $3.8 million ($2.3
million after-tax) and $4.6 million


11
12

($2.9 million after-tax) were recorded in the three- and nine-month periods
ended May 31, 2001, respectively.



NOTE 7. RESTRUCTURING

During the third quarter of fiscal 2001, we recorded restructuring
costs of $15.6 million ($10.6 million after-tax) related to reductions in the
Company's cost structure, including reductions in workforce, consolidation of
facilities and the transition of certain facilities into new customer
development sites. These restructuring costs included fixed asset write-offs of
approximately $5.7 million, losses from lease commitments of approximately $5.3
million and severance costs of approximately $4.6 million. Approximately 2,500
employees were terminated as a result of the restructuring, the majority of
which were engaged in direct manufacturing activities in various manufacturing
facilities around the world. Cash paid for severance costs and leasing expenses
during the third quarter of fiscal 2001 was $3.4 million and $0.8 million,
respectively. As of May 31, 2001, liabilities related to these restructuring
activities, totaling approximately $5.7 million, are expected to be paid out
within the next twelve months.

Exchange Act of 1934, and are made in reliance upon the protections provided by
such acts for forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements (such
as when we describe what we "believe," "expect" or "anticipate" will occur, and
other similar statements) include, but are not limited to, statements regarding
future sales and operating results, future prospects, anticipated benefits of
proposed (or future) acquisitions and new facilities, growth, the capabilities
and capacities of business operations, any financial or other guidance and all
statements that are not based on historical fact, but rather reflect our current
expectations concerning future results and events. The ultimate correctness of
these forward-looking statements is dependent upon a number of known and unknown
risks and events, and is subject to various uncertainties and other factors that
may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be different from
any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these

various risks, relevant factors and uncertainties that could cause future
results or events to differ materially from those expressed or implied in our
forward-looking statements, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended August 31, 2000, any subsequent Reports on Form 10-Q and Form 8-K and

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Our net revenue for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal
2001 increased 8% and 36% to $1.0 billion and $3.4 billion, respectively, from
$966 million and $2.5 billion in the third quarter and first nine months of
fiscal 2000. While overall revenue continues to grow, the growth rate slowed
during the third fiscal quarter of 2001 as a result of the recent economic
downturn and its effect on our customers. The revenue growth over the first nine
months of fiscal 2001 from the previous fiscal year was primarily due to
increased production of communication, consumer and peripheral products,
tempered by a softening of demand for computer products during the third
quarter. Foreign source revenue represented 52% and 49% of net revenue for the
third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2001, respectively, compared to
43% for the same periods of fiscal 2000. The increase in foreign source revenue
was attributable to increased production at our international locations,
primarily in our Mexico, Hungary and Malaysia facilities.

Gross profit decreased to 8.6% and 9.2% for the third quarter and first
nine months of fiscal 2001 from 9.8% and 10.1% for the same periods of fiscal
2000 primarily reflecting a higher content of material-based revenue as well as
relatively lower levels of capacity utilization than the prior periods.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 4.4% of net
revenue in the third quarter of fiscal 2001 as compared to 3.6% for the same
period in the prior fiscal year. These expenses increased in absolute dollars
from $34.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2000 to $46.0 million in the
third quarter of fiscal 2001. Selling, general and administrative expenses in
the first nine months of fiscal 2001 were 4.0% of net revenue compared to 3.7%
of net revenue for the same period of the prior fiscal year, again increasing in
absolute dollars from $93.0 million to $137.0 million. The dollar increases were
primarily due to increased staffing and related departmental expenses at all our
locations as well as increased information systems staff to support the
expansion of our business.

Research and development expenses were 0.2% and 0.1% of net revenue for
the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2001, respectively, as
compared to 0.1% for each of the same periods of fiscal 2000. In absolute
dollars, the expenses increased approximately $0.6 million and $1.2 million
versus the same periods of fiscal 2000.

Amortization of intangibles remained a constant 0.1% of net revenue in
the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2001, while increasing from
$0.7 million to $0.8 million and $1.9 million to $2.4 million, respectively, as
compared to the same periods of fiscal 2000.

As discussed elsewhere herein, in January 2001, we announced a proposed
acquisition of certain manufacturing operations of Marconi plc. Subsequent to
the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2001, we consummated the United Kingdom
and Italy portions of the acquisition and modified certain of the terms of the
transaction. We anticipate consummating the remaining portions of the
acquisition during 2001. During the third quarter and the first nine months of
fiscal 2001, we recorded acquisition-related charges of $3.8 million ($2.3
million after-tax) and $4.6 million ($2.9 million after tax) consisting of costs
to prepare for the integration of the business. We also recorded charges of
$15.6 million ($10.6 million after-tax) related to reductions in our cost
structure during the third quarter of fiscal 2001. We expect to incur additional
charges of approximately $7 million associated with further reductions in our
cost structure and approximately $3 million related to acquisition integration
costs during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001.

Interest income increased to $2.1 million in the third quarter of
fiscal 2001 from $827,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 2000, as a result of
increased cash on hand. Interest income increased approximately $3.9 million in
the first nine months of fiscal 2001, to $5.9 million from $2.0 million for the
same period in fiscal 2000, as a result of increased cash on hand in the first
and third quarters of fiscal 2001, the latter of which was provided by the sale
of the convertible notes.

Interest expense decreased approximately $3.4 million in the third
quarter of fiscal 2001, to $0.5 million as compared to $3.9 million in the third
quarter of fiscal 2000. Interest expense decreased approximately $2.7 million
for the first nine months of fiscal 2001 to $3.2 million from $5.9 million.
These decreases are primarily a result of decreased borrowings to support
working capital needs.

Our effective tax rate decreased to 22% and 28% in the third quarter
and first nine months of fiscal 2001, respectively, from 31% and 32%,
respectively, in each of the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2000.
The tax rate was influenced by the mix of domestic versus international income
from operations. Our international operations are being taxed at a lower rate
than in the United States, primarily due to the tax holiday granted to our
Malaysia subsidiary.

BUSINESS FACTORS

Due to the nature of turnkey manufacturing and our relatively small
number of major customers, our quarterly operating results are affected by the
level and timing of orders, the level of capacity utilization of our
manufacturing facilities and associated fixed costs, fluctuations in material
costs and by the mix of material 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 we achieve 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 our customers have terminated their manufacturing arrangement with us, and
other customers have significantly reduced or delayed the volume of
manufacturing services ordered from us. Throughout the third fiscal quarter of
2001, we experienced reduction in demand as a result of overall deteriorating
economic conditions in our customer's industries. Any such termination of a
manufacturing relationship or change, reduction or delay in orders could have an
adverse effect on our results of operations.

ACQUISITIONS AND EXPANSION

The EMS industry has experienced rapid growth over the past several
years as an increasing number of electronics companies have outsourced their
manufacturing requirements and divested their manufacturing facilities, such as
our acquisition of certain manufacturing facilities from Hewlett-Packard Company
in fiscal 1998 and our partially completed acquisition of certain Marconi
manufacturing assets. Electronics companies are turning to outsourcing in order
to reduce product cost; achieve accelerated time-to-market and time-to-volume
production; access advanced design and manufacturing technologies; improve
inventory management and purchasing power; reduce their capital investment in
manufacturing facilities; and achieve parallel manufacturing of the same product
throughout the world. We believe that additional acquisition opportunities exist
and we regularly seek and evaluate such acquisition opportunities. We also seek
and evaluate acquisition opportunities that may arise as a result of
consolidation in the EMS industry, as evidenced by our acquisition of GET
Manufacturing, Inc. and Bull

Information Technology during fiscal 2000. We also intend to continue to
evaluate strategic acquisitions of ancillary services to round out our service
offerings, similar to our fiscal year 2000 acquisition of Telenor Technology
Services, a repair and logistics provider, based in Dublin, Ireland. However, we
cannot be assured that we will be able to consummate or, if consummated,
successfully integrate the operations and management of any such acquisitions.
Acquisitions involve significant risks which could have a material adverse
effect on us, including financial and operating risks, such as (1) potential
liabilities of the acquired businesses; (2) the dilutive effect of the issuance
of additional equity securities; (3) the incurrence of additional debt; (4) the
financial impact of amortizing goodwill and other intangible assets involved in
any acquisitions that are accounted for using the purchase method of accounting;
(5) possible adverse tax and accounting effects; (6) the diversion of
management's attention to the assimilation of the businesses to be acquired; (7)
the risk that the acquired businesses will fail to maintain the quality of
services or quantity of business that it historically provided or that we
anticipated it would provide when we decided to acquire the business; (8) if we
acquire operations from customers, any risk not contractually protected against
that we may not produce the forecasted amount of products for that customer due
to either a subsequent decrease in demand for our services by that customer or a
decision by us to limit our concentration of business with that customer,
particularly if that customer is subsequently acquired by another one of our
customers; (9) the need to implement financial and other systems and add
management resources; (10) the risk that key employees of the acquired
businesses will leave after the acquisition; (11) the impact on the Company of
any unionized work force it may acquire; and (12) unforeseen difficulties in the
acquired operations.

During this fiscal year, we completed greenfield expansions in
Tiszaujvaros, Hungary and Chihuahua, Mexico.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2001, we undertook several measures
to restructure our company to better align our operations with anticipated
customer demand as a result of the recent economic slowdown. As a result of our
review, we recorded restructuring charges of $15.6 million ($10.6 million
after-tax) during the quarter ended May 31, 2001 (see Note 5). Our restructuring
activities included reductions of production workforce, consolidation of certain
facilities and a change in the strategic direction of certain facilities. The
completion of the restructuring activities identified during the third quarter
will continue during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001.

On January 11, 2001, we announced that we had entered into a business
sale agreement with Marconi plc to purchase certain operations of its
communications division. The operations are located in the United States, United
Kingdom, Italy and Germany. The acquisition of the United Kingdom and Italian
sites was completed on June 13, 2001 and the United States and German closings
are anticipated to occur in late summer and fall of 2001. In connection with the
initial closing, we modified our earlier agreement in light of then existing
business conditions to adjust the purchase price, the scope of the assets we
would acquire and the terms of the related supply agreement with Marconi. Total
consideration to be paid, subject to closing adjustments, is estimated to be
approximately $250 million, with approximately $215 million payable at the

17

closings, approximately $139.2 million of which was paid for the assets acquired
in connection with the first closing, an additional $15 million payable two
years from the first closing and an additional $20 million payable three years
from the first closing. The transaction will be accounted for under the purchase
method of accounting and will result in approximately $150 million of goodwill
and other intangibles. Funding for this acquisition is being provided primarily
by our existing banking facilities and proceeds from the issuance of our
convertible debt during the third quarter of fiscal 2001. See "Liquidity and
Capital Resources."

Simultaneous with the closings, we will enter into a four-year product
supply agreement to manufacture existing and new products for Marconi in new
product introduction, printed circuit board assembly, final systems assembly as
well as repair of access, optical transmission and broadband switching products.
The company currently estimates that such agreement will generate in excess of
$4 billion of revenue over the term of the agreement.

Under the terms of the deal, up to 2,100 employees in Bedford, Texas;
Liverpool and Coventry, UK; Marcianise, Italy and Offenburg, Germany will
progressively transfer to Jabil Circuit.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At May 31, 2001 our principal sources of liquidity consisted of cash,
available borrowings under our revolving credit facilities, an accounts
receivable securitization program and proceeds from the convertible debt
issuance. We have committed line of credit facilities in place with a syndicate
of banks that provide up to $750 million of working capital borrowing capacity,
$500 million of which is provided for under a three-year facility, the remaining
$250 million is provided for under a separate 364-day agreement. There were no
borrowings outstanding under this line of credit as of May 31, 2001.

In May 2001, we issued a total of $345 million, 20-year, 1.75%
convertible subordinated notes at par, resulting in net proceeds of
approximately $338 million. The notes mature on May 15, 2021 and pay interest
semiannually on May 15 and November 15. Each note is convertible at any time
after the date of original issuance and prior to the close of business on the
business day immediately preceding the maturity date by the holder at a
conversion rate of 24.368 shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes. Holders
may require us to purchase all or a portion of their notes on May 15 in the
years 2004, 2006, 2009 and 2014 at par plus accrued interest. We may choose to
pay the purchase price in cash or common stock valued at 95% of its market
price. We may redeem all or a portion of the notes for cash at any time on or
after May 18, 2004 at 100% of principal plus accrued interest. The net proceeds
from the offering are anticipated to be used for general corporate purposes and
to fund acquisitions. A portion of the proceeds were used to fund the initial
Marconi acquisition closing.

Operating activities for the nine months ended May 31, 2001 provided
$37.0 million in cash. The generation of cash was primarily due to net income of
$107.3 million, depreciation


17
18

and amortization of $111.5 million, offset by decreases in accounts payable and
accrued expenses of $78.6 million, increases in inventories of $52.5 million,
increases in accounts receivable of $16.7 million, increases in prepaid and
other current assets of $11.7 million, and decreases in net deferred and current
income taxes payable of $14.2 million. The increase in accounts receivable and
inventory was due to commensurate increases in planned levels of business during
the first nine months of fiscal 2001.

Net cash used in investing activities of $268.2 million for the nine
months ended May 31, 2001 consisted primarily of our capital expenditures for
construction and equipment worldwide in order to support the planned increase in
production activities.

Net cash provided by financing activities of $351.0 million for the
nine months ended May 31, 2001 resulted primarily from the sale of our
convertible subordinated notes.

Over the past several years, we have experienced significant growth. As
a result, we have used cash to finance increases in our inventory and accounts
receivable. Excluding money needed to fund the Marconi acquisition and any other
significant acquisition we may pursue, we currently believe that during fiscal
year 2001, our capital expenditures will approximate $300 to $350 million,
principally for machinery, equipment, facilities and related expenses. We expect
our cash on hand, available borrowings under our revolving credit facilities and
our accounts receivable securitization program to adequately fund our working
capital requirements for the next twelve months.
