ITEM 1. BUSINESS.

Merix Corporation (Merix or the Company) is a leading manufacturer of advanced
printed circuit boards for use in sophisticated electronic equipment. Principal
markets served by the Company include the communications, computer, industrial
and medical instrumentation segments of the electronics industry.

Merix, an Oregon corporation, was formed in March 1994 to succeed the business
conducted by the Circuit Board Division of Tektronix, Inc. (Tektronix). The
Company's manufacturing facility and corporate offices are located at 1521
Poplar Lane, Forest Grove, Oregon 97116 and the telephone number is (503)
359-9300.

In fiscal year 1999 the Company completed a restructuring, undertaken to improve
capacity utilization and lower the Company's cost structure. Pursuant to the
restructuring plan, the Company closed its Loveland, Colorado facility in
October 1998 and sold its Soladyne facility in San Diego, California in February
1999. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations" in Item 7 of this Report.

Electronic Interconnect Industry Overview

Printed circuits, including rigid and flexible printed circuits, are the basic
platforms used to connect the microprocessors, integrated circuits and other
components essential to the functioning of electronic equipment. These products
consist of patterns of electrical circuitry etched from copper laminate to a
board made of insulating material. The manufacture of these and other complex
interconnect products requires increasingly sophisticated engineering and
manufacturing expertise and substantial capital investment. This has contributed
to increasing reliance by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) on independent
manufacturers for such products.

According to industry reports, the U.S. domestic market for all interconnect
products was approximately $8.6 billion in 1998. During the last few years,
virtually all domestic printed circuit board manufacturing has been outsourced
by OEMs to independent producers, such as the Company. OEMs found that
independent producers can often provide greater flexibility, higher levels of
responsiveness and faster delivery at a lower overall cost than their own
captive operations. Pursuant to the outsourcing strategy, printed circuit board
manufacturing operations of captive producers, which were typically divisions of
larger OEMs, have been sold to independent producers, spun-off or closed.

Historically, the industry has been highly fragmented. However, the industry is
seeing a growing trend towards consolidation among printed circuit board
producers. The increasing technology demands and resulting requirement for
capital investment, the effects of the recent electronics industry downturn,
continuing product pricing pressures intensified by Asian competition and the
benefits of achieving economies of scale have all contributed to increased
consolidation activity in the industry.

Customers, Marketing and Sales

The Company's customers include a diversified base of leading OEMs in the
computer, communications and test and instruments segments of the electronics
industry. These customers often use leading-edge technologies and their product
requirements generally drive the advancement of electronic interconnect
manufacturing technology.

The Company also manufactures and sells products to contract manufacturers which
assemble components on the products for resale to OEMs. The Company seeks to
expand existing relationships and establish relationships with other customers
in the contract manufacturing channel to gain access to more OEM customers.

                                       2
<PAGE>
ITEM 1. BUSINESS. (Continued)

The Company seeks to develop strategic relationships with its customers and
markets its products and services through a field-based direct sales force as
well as manufacturers' representatives. The Company's applications engineers
provide advice to customers with respect to applicable technology,
manufacturability of designs and cost implications.

The Company believes continuous improvement in product technology is essential
to satisfy customer needs. To gain knowledge of future technology needs and
enhance the Company's visibility in the marketplace, the Company holds
technology planning and review meetings with its major customers and attends
technical conferences and trade shows. Additionally, the Company was recently
chosen to participate in the Advanced Embedded Passive Technology Consortium
sponsored by the National Center for Manufacturing Sciences.

In fiscal year 1999, five companies represented 67.8% of net sales, with each of
those companies representing 20.7%, 15.0%, 13.8%, 10.9% and 7.4% of net sales,
respectively. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations" in Item 7 of this Report and Note 11 of Notes to
Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Report.

The Company generally does not obtain long-term purchase orders or commitments
from its customers, and the orders received by the Company usually require
delivery within 90 days. However, many of the Company's customers have
maintained long-term purchasing relationships with the Company.

Manufacturing and Engineering

Products

The Company's principal products are high-density, multilayer rigid printed
circuits manufactured with materials ranging from standard fiberglass to
high-performance substrate materials.

The Company manufactures fiberglass-based circuit boards and high-performance
circuits. Fiberglass-based circuit boards are used in virtually all segments of
the electronics industry. High-performance circuits are used in electronic
products requiring high-speed and high-frequency interconnect solutions, such as
cellular phone base stations and other communications, computing and
instrumentation products. High-performance circuits are manufactured using
specialty materials with properties that address the need for faster speeds,
higher operating temperatures and higher frequencies. The Company has developed
the expertise and specialized engineering processes required to manufacture
high-performance circuits using a broad range of materials, including Teflon(R)
and GETEK(R).

Manufacturing Processes

The manufacture of complex multilayer printed circuits involves the use of a
variety of sophisticated production processes and equipment. In general, the
Company receives circuit designs directly from its customers in the form of
computer aided design files that it reviews to ensure manufacturability. Using
these computer files, the Company generates images of the circuit patterns that
it develops on individual layers using advanced photographic processes. Through
a variety of plating and etching processes, the Company selectively adds and
removes conductive and insulating materials forming horizontal layers of thin
traces or circuits. A finished multilayer circuit board sandwiches (or
laminates) together a number of layers of circuitry, using intense heat and
pressure under vacuum. Vertical connections between layers are achieved by
plating through small holes called vias. Vias are made by highly specialized
equipment capable of achieving extremely fine tolerances with high accuracy.

The Company specializes in multilayer printed circuits with extremely fine
geometries and tolerances. Because of the tolerances involved, the Company uses
clean rooms in certain manufacturing processes

                                       3
<PAGE>
ITEM 1. BUSINESS. (Continued)

where tiny particles can create defects on the circuit patterns, and uses
automated optical inspection (AOI) to ensure consistent quality.

As OEMs continue to design more sophisticated electronics equipment requiring
more complex printed circuits, the average number of layers of circuitry in the
printed circuits manufactured by the Company has increased from approximately
eight in fiscal year 1998 to 10 in fiscal year 1999. In May 1999, the Company
completed a major expansion of its Forest Grove manufacturing capacity, which is
expected to support the growing demand for printed circuits with higher layer
counts. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations" in Item 7 of this Report.

The Company uses total quality management systems to meet the highest industry
standards for product quality. The Company is ISO 9000 registered. In May 1996,
the Company's Forest Grove facility received the Shingo Prize for Manufacturing
Excellence. The Shingo Prize is awarded annually by the National Association of
Manufacturers to recognize North American domestic manufacturing companies that
demonstrate excellence in manufacturing leading to quality enhancement,
productivity improvement, and customer satisfaction.

Supplier Relationships

Historically, the majority of raw materials used to manufacture the Company's
products have been readily available. As printed circuit technology increases,
the Company expects its use of certain high-performance raw materials to
increase. These materials are often produced by a limited number of suppliers.
From time to time, the Company has experienced difficulties in obtaining
sufficient quantities of these materials. A significant shortage of these
materials could have an adverse impact on the Company's sales and profitability.
To date, material shortages or price fluctuations have not had a materially
adverse effect on the Company.

In order to reduce lead times and inventory carrying costs, to enhance the
quality and reliability of the supply of raw materials and to reduce
transportation and other logistics costs, the Company has entered into strategic
relationships with certain suppliers of laminates, raw materials and services.
Matsushita Electronics Materials, a key laminate supplier, operates an 82,000
square foot factory adjacent to the Company's facility to produce standard and
high-performance laminates. A second key laminate supplier utilizes an
independent warehouse distribution center adjacent to the Company's facility to
offer just-in-time delivery of high-performance raw materials. In addition,
Probe Test Fixtures, Inc. provides on-site electrical test services at the
Company's facility.

The Company strives to develop and maintain good working relationships with its
key suppliers to enhance operation of the business. Supplier management programs
drive improvements and cost reductions. These programs include, but are not
limited to, quarterly review meetings, joint product and process development,
and participation in meetings with the Company's key and strategic customers.

Environmental Controls

Electronic interconnect product manufacturing requires the use of a variety of
materials, including metals and chemicals. As a result, the Company is subject
to environmental laws relating to the storage, use and disposal of chemicals,
solid waste, and other hazardous materials, as well as air quality regulations.
Water used in the manufacturing process must be treated to remove heavy metals
and neutralized before it can be discharged into the municipal sanitary sewer
system. The Company operates and maintains effluent water treatment systems and
utilizes approved laboratory testing procedures at its manufacturing facility
under effluent discharge permits issued by authorized governmental agencies.
These permits must be renewed periodically and are subject to revocation in the
event of violations of environmental laws.

                                       4
<PAGE>
ITEM 1. BUSINESS. (Continued)

Certain waste materials and byproducts generated by the Company's manufacturing
processes are sent to approved third parties for recycling, reclaim, treatment
or disposal.

The Company believes that its environmental management complies with
environmental protection requirements in all material respects. However, there
can be no assurance that violations will not occur in the future. Further, to
the extent that environmental laws change, environmental expenditures could
increase.

Backlog

The Company's 90 day backlog was approximately $18.0 million at the end of
fiscal year 1999 and $15.8 million at the end of fiscal year 1998. A substantial
portion of the Company's backlog is typically scheduled for delivery within 60
days. Cancellation and postponement charges generally vary depending upon the
time of cancellation or postponement, and a significant portion of the Company's
backlog is subject to cancellation or postponement without significant penalty.
The level and timing of orders placed by the Company's customers vary due to
many factors, including customer attempts to manage inventory, timing of new
product introductions and variation in demand for customer products.
Accordingly, the Company's backlog is not necessarily indicative of future
quarterly or annual financial results. The Company typically does not obtain
long-term purchase orders or commitments from its customers and a variety of
conditions may cause customers to cancel, reduce or delay orders that were
previously placed. The Company cannot assure the timely replacement of canceled,
delayed or reduced orders.

Competition

Competitive factors in the market for printed circuits include product quality,
technological capability, responsiveness to customers in delivery and service,
and price. The Company believes its primary competitive strengths are its
ability to provide a wide array of high quality, high technology interconnect
products with on-time delivery, engineering and manufacturing expertise, and
customer service and support.

The printed circuit industry in the United States is highly fragmented. An
industry source estimates there are approximately 700 companies producing
circuit boards in the United States. According to an industry source, the top 10
merchant suppliers accounted for approximately 37% of total circuit board sales
by independent suppliers in 1998. Increasing technology demands and the
resulting demands for capital investment are expected to continue to contribute
to a growing trend toward consolidation of independent producers.

Additionally, as a result of the economic situation in Asia, many Asian printed
circuit companies have turned to the U.S. domestic market as a source of new
customers to utilize their excess capacity, particularly in less technologically
advanced product segments of the interconnect industry. Historically, Asian
printed circuit suppliers have primarily competed in less technologically
advanced markets, although they continue to expand their technology to include
higher technology printed circuits. The Company's focus continues to be on
providing high technology products and processes, and it currently does not
expect to encounter direct competition from Asian suppliers in the high
technology segment of the printed circuit market in the near future. However,
the Company's basic interconnect technology is generally not subject to
significant proprietary protection, and companies with significant resources may
develop expertise in these higher technology processes and products and compete
with the Company. Increased competition could result in price reductions,
reduced margins or loss of market share, which could materially adversely affect
the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

ITEM 1. BUSINESS. (Continued)

Patents and Other Intellectual Property

The Company's success depends in part on certain proprietary technology and
manufacturing expertise. While the Company attempts to protect its proprietary
technology through patents, copyrights and trade secrets, it believes that its
success will depend more upon further innovation and technological advances.
Companies in the electronics industry from time to time receive letters from
third parties alleging infringement of patent rights and the Company may receive
such letters in the future.

     year 1997 represent sales to those contract manufacturers. Sales to
     contract manufacturers in fiscal years 1999 and 1998 are reflected in sales
     to the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) served by the contract
     manufacturer. Sales through the contract manufacturing channel were $35,617
     and $42,413 in fiscal years 1999 and 1998, respectively.
</TABLE>


Comparison of Fiscal Years 1999 and 1998 (Dollars in thousands)

Fiscal Year. The Company's fiscal year is the 52 or 53-week period ending the
last Saturday in May. Fiscal year 1999 and 1998 were 52-week years.

Net Sales. Net sales for fiscal year 1999 were $113,982 compared to $178,620 in
fiscal year 1998. Net sales decreased as a result of lower unit sales and lower
average selling prices which resulted from a general electronics industry
downturn, pricing pressures in the printed circuit industry, excess customer
inventories, the closure of the Loveland manufacturing facility in October 1998
and the sale of the Soladyne manufacturing facility in February 1999. See Note 2
of Notes to Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Report and "Restructuring"
below.

The Company's five largest customers comprised 67.8% and 75.1% of total sales in
fiscal years 1999 and 1998, respectively. See Note 11 of Notes to Financial
Statements in Item 8 of this Report. The Company continues to focus on
additional diversification of its customer base, and is achieving its objectives
with regard to increasing sales in the high-end computing and communications
market segments and decreasing sales of lower margin products in the test and
measurement market segment. However, the loss of one or more principal customers
or a change in the mix of product sales could have a material adverse effect on
the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. See
"Business-Backlog" in Item 1 of this Report.

Net sales at the Forest Grove manufacturing facility increased throughout the
last three quarters of fiscal year 1999. The Company attributes these increases
to its continued efforts to penetrate new customers and new programs, a return
of demand from its existing customers and increasing sales in the high-end
computing and communications market segments. The Company's expansion of its
Forest Grove manufacturing capacity was substantially complete at the end of
fiscal year 1999. During the remainder of calendar year 1999, the Company will
install manufacturing equipment transferred from the closed Loveland facility.
Completion of the expansion project and installation of the Loveland equipment
will add capacity and will position the Company to take advantage of increasing
customer demand. However, future profitability and the ability to utilize added
manufacturing capacity in an effective manner will be

        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. (Continued)

dependent upon the Company's ability to increase sales to existing and new
customers. The failure to successfully utilize additional manufacturing capacity
could adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition and results
of operations.

During periods of slowdown in the electronics industry, the Company's customers
are more price sensitive, which has had, and could continue to have, an adverse
effect on interconnect pricing. While the Company's pricing stabilized during
the last half of fiscal year 1999, the Company expects pricing pressures to
continue. Additionally, as a result of the economic situation in Asia, many
Asian printed circuit companies have turned to the U.S. domestic market as a
source of new customers to utilize their excess capacity. See
"Business-Competition" in Item 1 of this Report.

Gross Margins. The Company's gross margin was 3.0% in fiscal year 1999 and 15.4%
in fiscal year 1998. The decrease in gross margin in fiscal year 1999 was
attributable to lower capacity utilization, lower product pricing, and the
effect of the net write-down of inventory related to the fiscal year 1999
restructuring charge. See Note 2 of Notes to Financial Statements in Item 8 of
this Report and "Restructuring" below. The Company's gross margins are affected
by various factors, including capacity utilization, product mix, production
yields, price changes and changes in the Company's cost structure.

Gross profit began to improve in the last half of fiscal year 1999, primarily
as a result of increased sales of higher margin products, increased capacity
utilization of the Forest Grove manufacturing facility, lower costs as a result
of the restructuring, and other cost reduction actions. The Company expects its
gross margin will improve in fiscal year 2000 depending on a variety of factors
which cannot be predicted with certainty, including, but not limited to, receipt
and timing of orders for products, mix of products sold, product pricing and
ability to utilize manufacturing capacity effectively.

Engineering. Engineering expenses were $4,100 and $5,854 in fiscal years 1999
and 1998, respectively, and were 3.6% and 3.3% of sales, respectively. These
expenses decreased due to reduced headcount, cost controls and the
capitalization of labor. The Company capitalized approximately $650 of dedicated
engineering labor related to the Forest Grove expansion project in fiscal year
1999.

Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative
expenses were $9,045 and $14,266 in fiscal years 1999 and 1998, respectively,
and were 7.9% and 8.0% of net sales, respectively. These expenses decreased due
to reduced headcount resulting from the restructurings, cost controls and
reduced selling expenses as a result of a lower level of sales. See Note 2 of
Notes to Financial Statements and "Restructuring" below.

Restructuring. In the first quarter of fiscal year 1999, the Company announced a
restructuring plan, undertaken to improve capacity utilization and lower the
Company's cost structure. Pursuant to the restructuring plan, the Company closed
its Loveland, Colorado facility, reduced approximately 35 employees from
administrative, engineering and support functions at its Forest Grove, Oregon
location and sold its Soladyne facility in San Diego, California. The Soladyne
facility was sold in February 1999. Closure of the Loveland facility was
completed in October 1998 and resulted in the layoff of approximately 340
manufacturing and support employees. The Company transferred a portion of the
Loveland production and manufacturing equipment used in the Loveland facility to
the Forest Grove site, the installation of which is expected to be completed by
the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2000.

In the third quarter of fiscal year 1999, the Company reversed $7,109 of the
restructuring charge taken in the first quarter of the year. The reversal was
the result of a favorable termination of the Loveland facility lease, higher
than estimated proceeds from the sale of excess equipment and the sale of the
Soladyne facility.

to the restructuring charge were paid in fiscal year 1999. At May 29, 1999,
there were no outstanding liabilities associated with the restructuring plan.

In the second quarter of fiscal year 1998, the Company recorded a $1,878 charge
for the costs associated with a restructuring plan undertaken to improve the
Company's profitability, which included a work force reduction, the write-off of
certain manufacturing equipment and other miscellaneous costs. All liabilities
associated with the restructuring plan were paid in the third quarter of fiscal
year 1998.

Interest Income. Interest income was $912 and $1,432 in fiscal years 1999 and
1998, respectively. Interest income decreased primarily as a result of a lower
level of cash, cash equivalents and short term investments during fiscal year
1999.

Interest Expense. Interest expense was $2,906 and $3,313 in fiscal years 1999
and 1998, respectively. The decrease in fiscal year 1999 was primarily due to
the capitalization of interest related to the Forest Grove expansion project of
approximately $450 in fiscal year 1999.

Income Taxes. The Company's effective tax rate was approximately (38)% in fiscal
year 1999 compared to 36% in 1998. The increase in the effective rate for fiscal
year 1999 was due to the reduction in the 1998 Oregon state statutory rate
resulting from the refunding of excess income taxes collected in prior years.
The Company expects its effective tax rate for fiscal year 2000 will approximate
39%.

Comparison of Fiscal Years 1998 and 1997 (Dollars in thousands)

Fiscal Year. The Company's fiscal year is the 52 or 53-week period ending the
last Saturday in May. Fiscal year 1998 was a 52-week year, fiscal year 1997 was
a 53-week year.

Net Sales. Net sales for fiscal year 1998 were $178,620 compared to $156,184 in
fiscal year 1997. The increase in sales was primarily attributable to a higher
level of demand for the Company's products and an improvement in the product
mix, including increased sales of higher layer count, higher priced products.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. (Continued)

A general slow-down in the electronics industry and excess capacity in the
domestic printed circuit industry negatively impacted the level and pricing of
customer orders in the Company's fourth quarter ended May 30, 1998. Net sales
were $41,074 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998 compared to $46,416 in the
third quarter of fiscal 1998 and $43,285 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1997.

During the first three quarters of fiscal year 1998, manufacturing constraints
limited the capacity available to meet the production needs of the Company's
current and new customers. In response, in December 1997, the Company announced
plans for a major expansion of its Forest Grove manufacturing capacity, expected
to cost approximately $21,000.

The Company's five largest customers comprised 75.1% and 73.6% of net sales for
fiscal years 1998 and 1997, respectively.

Gross Margins. The Company's gross margin was 15.4% in fiscal year 1998,
compared with 14.0% in fiscal year 1997. The improvement in gross margin was
attributable to a higher sales volume, improved product pricing, improved
product mix, reduced materials costs and cost reductions resulting from the
restructuring which occurred in the second quarter of fiscal year 1998. The
Company's gross margins are affected by various factors, including sales
volumes, product mix, production yields, price changes and changes in the
Company's cost structure.

Restructuring. Results of operations for fiscal year 1998 included a $1,878
charge for the costs associated with a restructuring plan, announced in the
second quarter of fiscal year 1998, undertaken to improve the Company's
profitability.

The restructuring plan consisted of a work force reduction in the support and
administrative functions, the write-down of certain manufacturing equipment, and
other miscellaneous costs. The charge for the work force reduction of
approximately $700 included the reduction of 85 positions in the Company's
support and administrative functions, including purchasing, materials,
administration and computer automated tooling. No direct manufacturing jobs were
eliminated. As of May 30, 1998, all outstanding liabilities associated with the
workforce reduction had been paid. In connection with the restructuring plan,
the Company analyzed its manufacturing equipment based on Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-lived Assets
and For Long-lived Assets To Be Disposed Of", and based on that analysis,
recorded a non-cash charge for the write-off of approximately $1,100 of
manufacturing equipment located primarily at the Company's Loveland, Colorado
facility.

Engineering. Engineering expenses were $5,854 and $6,013, respectively, and were
3.3% and 3.9% of net sales, respectively, in fiscal years 1998 and 1997.

Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative
expenses were $14,266 and $13,822 in fiscal years 1998 and 1997, respectively,
and were 8.0% and 8.8% of net sales, respectively. Selling, general and
administrative expenses have increased principally as a result of increased
sales and marketing personnel, and costs associated with the reorganization and
relocation of the Company's sales force.

Interest Income. Interest income remained relatively constant at $1,432 and
$1,380 in fiscal years 1998 and 1997, respectively.

Interest Expense. Interest expense was $3,313 and $3,247 in fiscal years 1998
and 1997, respectively. The increase in fiscal year 1998 was principally due to
a full year of interest expense related to the issuance of $40,000 in senior
notes in September 1996.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. (Continued)

Income Taxes. The Company's effective tax rate was approximately 36% in fiscal
year 1998 compared to (10)% in 1997. In fiscal year 1997, the Company had lower
pretax income and higher tax exempt interest income in relation to such pretax
income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources (Dollars in thousands)

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments at May 29, 1999 were $13,381,
compared to $22,899 at May 30, 1998. Working capital decreased to $14,322 at May
29, 1999 from $40,755 at May 30, 1998, primarily as a result of decreases in
cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, inventories and an $8,000
reclassification of long-term debt to current liabilities to reflect payments
due in fiscal year 2000.

Cash provided by operating activities in fiscal year 1999 was $4,091, which
primarily consisted of a net loss for the period, adjustments for depreciation
and amortization, and an increase in deferred income taxes, primarily offset by
the net restructuring charge, a decrease in accounts receivable and inventories.
Deferred income taxes increased as a result of the net loss in the period, and
accounts receivable and inventories decreased as a result of the lower level of
sales in the period.

Cash used in investing activities in fiscal year 1999 was $11,415, primarily
consisting of $15,914 in capital expenditures principally for manufacturing
equipment, offset by $4,537 of proceeds from the sale of assets. At May 29,
1999, the Company had capital commitments of approximately $2,560.

Cash used in financing activities in fiscal year 1999 was $2,232, which
primarily consisted of payment of long-term debt.

The Company has a secured note payable to Tektronix, Inc. with $2,299
outstanding at May 29, 1999. The note bears interest at 7.5% and was originally
due in May 1999. In March 1999, the note was amended to defer the payment of the
outstanding balance as follows: $1,149 payable in June 2000 and $1,150 payable
in June 2001. All other terms of the note remain unchanged.

The Company has $40,000 outstanding under a private placement of senior
unsecured notes with two insurance companies, with interest payable
semi-annually at 7.92%. On May 28, 1999 the notes, which originally provided for
annual principal payments of $8,000, were amended to provide for semi-annual
principal payments of $4,000 commencing in September 1999 with a final principal
payment of $8,000 payable in September 2003. Additionally, the notes were
amended to omit the minimum net worth and interest coverage covenants until the
fiscal quarter ending August 28, 1999, at which time minimum net worth and
interest coverage covenants will be required to be met on a fiscal quarterly
basis. As of May 29, 1999, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.

In July 1999, the Company obtained a commitment for an equipment lease line,
which allows for the lease of up to $5,000 of manufacturing equipment. The
commitment expires on May 31, 2000. No amounts are currently outstanding under
the equipment lease line.

The Company believes that its existing capital resources and cash generated from
operations should be sufficient to meet its working capital and capital
expenditure requirements during its 2000 fiscal year. To the extent necessary,
the Company may also satisfy capital requirements through additional bank
borrowings and equipment leases if such resources are available on satisfactory
terms.

Year 2000 Disclosure

The Company has developed a program to perform assessment and remediation of its
computer software programs and operating systems, including applications used in
its financial, shop-floor control and manufacturing equipment control systems,
to determine their readiness for the Year 2000 (the

                                       13
<PAGE>
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. (Continued)

"Year 2000 Program"). The inability of computer software programs and operating
systems to accurately recognize, interpret and process date codes designating
the Year 2000 and beyond could cause systems to yield inaccurate results or
encounter operating problems, including disruption of the business operations
these systems control. The Company has completed its assessment of the
financial, shop-floor control systems and manufacturing equipment control
systems. Remediation of the financial and shop-floor control systems is 100%
complete and remediation of the manufacturing equipment control systems is 45%
complete. The Company expects to complete its remediation of all of its systems
by the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2000.

The Company also may be exposed to risks from computer systems of parties with
which the Company transacts business. The Company has contacted most of its
critical suppliers to determine the extent to which the Company may be
vulnerable to those parties' failure to remedy their own Year 2000 issues and to
ascertain what actions, if needed, may be taken by the Company in response to
such risks. To date, approximately 70% of the suppliers contacted have indicated
they are, or expect to be, Year 2000 compliant.

The Company currently estimates that it will spend between $400 and $700 in
addressing the Year 2000 issue, of which approximately $160 has been incurred
through May 29, 1999. The estimates are subject to change as additional
information is obtained in connection with the Year 2000 Program.

Based on its assessments to date, the Company believes it will not experience
any material disruption as a result of Year 2000 issues in its computer software
programs and operating systems used in its internal operations, its interface
with key suppliers and customers, or processing orders and billing. However, if
certain critical third party suppliers, such as those supplying electricity,
water, telephone service or critical materials, experience difficulties
resulting in disruption of the service or delivery of supplies to the Company,
or if the Company's internal operating systems fail to comply, a shutdown of the
Company's operations could occur for the duration of the disruption. The Company
is currently developing contingency plans to mitigate the effect of such events,
and intends to complete its contingency plans by the end of the first quarter of
fiscal year 2000. Furthermore, due to the general uncertainty inherent in the
Year 2000 problem, there can be no assurances that Year 2000 issues will not
have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition or
results of operations.

Note 1.  ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization

Merix Corporation, an Oregon corporation, was formed in March 1994 to succeed
the business conducted by the Circuit Board Division of Tektronix, Inc.
(Tektronix). On June 1, 1994, Merix acquired the assets and assumed certain
liabilities of the division in connection with the initial public offering of
its common stock, and began to operate as an independent corporation.

Fiscal Year

The Company's fiscal year is the 52 or 53-week period ending the last Saturday
in May. Fiscal year 1999 was a 52-week year ending May 29, fiscal year 1998 was
a 52-week year ended May 30 and fiscal year 1997 was a 53-week year ended May
31. For convenience, these periods have been presented in these financial
statements as ended May 31.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of sales and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

Balance Sheet Financial Instruments: Fair Values

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for investments, accounts
receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the immediate
or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The carrying amount for
long-term debt approximates its fair value because the related interest rates
are comparable to rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar
terms and maturities.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of cash in banks and highly liquid
investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased.

Short-Term Investments

The Company classifies securities at acquisition into one of three categories:
held to maturity, available for sale, or trading. At May 31, 1999 and 1998, all
of the Company's investments with original maturities of more than 90 days are
classified as held to maturity and are valued at amortized cost.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market and include materials,
labor and manufacturing overhead. Cost is determined on the first-in, first-out
(FIFO) basis.

Note 1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
        (Continued)

Property and Depreciation

Property, plant and equipment is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Costs of improvements, including capitalized interest, are capitalized.
Depreciation is calculated based on the estimated useful lives of depreciable
assets as follows: 40 years for buildings, 10 to 20 years for grounds, 3 to 7
years for machinery and equipment, and is provided using the straight-line
method.

Long-lived Assets

The Company's long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment when circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the sum of expected
undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, a
loss is recognized.

Goodwill

The cost of goodwill is amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated
period benefited of 15 years. Goodwill amortization for fiscal years 1999, 1998,
and 1997 was $41, $167 and $169, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from product sales is recognized at the time of shipment. Service
revenue is recognized as services are provided.

Engineering Expense

Expenditures for engineering of products and manufacturing processes are
expensed as incurred.

Warranty

The Company generally warrants its products for a period of up to four months
from shipment. Accordingly, a provision for the estimated cost of the warranty
is recorded upon shipment.

Net (Loss) Income Per Share

Basic net (loss) income per share is computed using the weighted average number
of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted income per share
is computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock and
dilutive common equivalent shares related to stock options outstanding during
the period. Incremental shares, related to outstanding stock options of 78,501
and 114,061 for fiscal years 1998 and 1997 were included in the calculations of
diluted net income per share.

Diluted loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares
of common stock outstanding for the period. Stock options to purchase 1,260,890
shares were not included in the net loss per share calculation for the fiscal
year 1999, because to do so would have been antidilutive. Of the stock options
outstanding at May 29, 1999, 884,440 had exercise prices above the market price
of the underlying common stock at that date.

Note 1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
        (Continued)

Comprehensive (Loss) Income

In fiscal year 1999, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" which establishes
requirements for disclosure of comprehensive income and is effective for the
Company's fiscal year ending May 1999. Reclassification of earlier financial
statements for comparative purposes is required. Comprehensive (loss) income did
not differ from currently reported net (loss) income in the periods presented.

Segment Reporting

The Company adopted SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise
and Related Information" (SFAS 131) in fiscal year 1999. Based on definitions
contained within SFAS 131, the Company has determined that it operates within
one segment. Additionally, the Company has no material revenues from external
customers outside the United States and has no long-lived assets outside the
United States. See Note 11 for information regarding significant customers.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities" (SFAS 133). SFAS 133 establishes accounting
and reporting standards requiring every derivative instrument be recorded in the
balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. SFAS
133 also requires changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized currently
in results of operations unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. SFAS
133, as amended by SFAS 137, is effective for fiscal years beginning after June
15, 2000. The Company does not expect SFAS 133 to have a material impact on its
financial statements.

Reclassifications

Reclassifications of certain prior period balances have been made to conform
with the current method of presentation.

Note 2.  RESTRUCTURING

In the first quarter of fiscal year 1999, the Company announced a restructuring
plan, undertaken to improve capacity utilization and lower the Company's cost
structure. Pursuant to the restructuring plan, the Company closed its Loveland,
Colorado facility, reduced approximately 35 employees from administrative,
engineering and support functions at its Forest Grove, Oregon location and sold
its Soladyne facility in San Diego, California. The Soladyne facility was sold
in February 1999. Closure of the Loveland facility, which was completed in
October 1998, resulted in the layoff of approximately 340 manufacturing and
support employees. The Company transferred a portion of the Loveland production
and manufacturing equipment used in the Loveland facility to the Forest Grove
site. Installation of the manufacturing equipment should be completed by the end
of the second quarter of fiscal year 2000.

In the third quarter of fiscal year 1999, the Company reversed $7,109 of the
restructuring charge taken in the first quarter of the year. The reversal was
the result of a favorable termination of the

</TABLE>

Cash proceeds from asset sales of $4,770 are included in the amounts shown above
for write-down and write-off of manufacturing equipment and inventory. All cash
payments for severance benefits, lease termination costs and other costs related
to the restructuring charge were paid in fiscal year 1999. At May 31, 1999,
there were no outstanding liabilities associated with the restructuring plan.

In the second quarter of fiscal year 1998, the Company recorded a $1,878 charge
for the costs associated with a restructuring plan undertaken to improve the
Company's profitability, which included a work force reduction, the write-off of
certain manufacturing equipment and other miscellaneous costs. All liabilities
associated with the restructuring plan were paid in the third quarter of fiscal
year 1998.

Note 3.  CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of
credit risk consist principally of trade accounts receivable and investments. In
total, six customers represented approximately 73% of the accounts receivable
balance at May 31, 1999, individually ranging from 5% to 19%. The risk in trade
accounts receivable is limited due to the creditworthiness of companies
comprising the Company's customer base and their dispersion across many
different sectors of the electronics industry and geographies. The Company has
not had significant losses related to its accounts receivable in the past. The
risk in investments is limited due to the creditworthiness of investees
comprising the portfolio and the diversity of the portfolio. At May 31, 1999,
the Company does not believe it had any significant credit risks.

The Company has a secured note payable to Tektronix, Inc. with $2,299
outstanding at May 31, 1999. The note bears interest at 7.5% and was originally
due in May 1999. In March 1999, the note was amended to defer the payment of the
outstanding balance as follows: $1,149 payable in June 2000 and $1,150 payable
in June 2001. All other terms of the note remain unchanged.

The Company has $40,000 outstanding under a private placement of senior
unsecured notes with two insurance companies, with interest payable

annual principal payments of $8,000, were amended to provide for semi-annual
principal payments of $4,000 commencing in September 1999 with a final principal
payment of $8,000 payable in September 2003. Additionally, the notes were
amended to remove the minimum net worth and interest coverage covenants until

worth and interest coverage covenants will be required to be met on a fiscal
quarterly basis. As of May 31, 1999, the Company was in compliance with all
covenants.

Future principal payments for long-term debt are as follows: 2000, $8,000; 2001,
$9,149; 2002, $9,150; 2003, $8,000; and 2004, $8,000.

The Company has a 1994 Stock Incentive Plan (the 1994 Plan) for employees,
consultants and directors of the Company. The 1994 Plan, as amended, covers
2,100,000 shares of common stock and permits the grant of incentive stock
options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock and cash
bonus rights, restricted stock awards and performance based awards to employees,
independent contractors and consultants. A committee of the Board of Directors
has the authority to determine non-qualified stock option prices. To date, all
options have been granted at the fair market value of the stock at the date of
grant. The 1994 Plan provides for automatic option grants to directors not
affiliated with Merix or Tektronix of 20,000 shares at the time first elected to
the board and 5,000 shares annually thereafter. The options generally become
exercisable ratably over a four-year period beginning one year after the date of
grant and expire ten years after the date of grant.

The Company's Board of Directors approved a plan which allowed employees, except
executive officers, to reprice existing stock options to the fair market value
of the underlying stock on June 30, 1998. Under the plan, employees received
nine options in exchange for every 10 options they elected to reprice. The
vesting schedule and term of repriced options remained the same as the original
option. During fiscal year 1999, options to purchase 332,820 shares at a
weighted average price per share of $18.39 were exchanged for options to
purchase 298,977 shares at a weighted average price per share of $9.9375.

Note 7.   STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLAN (Continued)

Restricted stock awards are subject to vesting and other terms as specified at
the time of issuance by a committee of the Board of Directors. Generally,
restricted stock awards vest ratably over a three-year period beginning on the
first anniversary of their issuance. Unearned compensation expense is recognized
ratably over the vesting period. There were no restricted stock awards in fiscal
years 1999 and 1998, respectively. The weighted average per share fair value of
restricted stock awards issued was $18.79 in fiscal year 1997.

SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" (SFAS 123) defines a
fair value based method of accounting for employee stock options and similar
equity instruments and encourages all entities to adopt that method of
accounting for all of their employee stock compensation plans. However, it also
allows an entity to continue to measure compensation cost for those plans using
the method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.
25 (APB 25). Entities electing to remain with the accounting in APB 25 must make
pro forma disclosures of net income and, if presented, net income per share, as
if the fair value based method of accounting defined in SFAS 123 had been
adopted.

The Company has elected to account for its stock-based compensation plans under
APB 25; however, the Company has computed, for pro forma disclosure purposes,
the value of all stock options granted

would be amortized on a pro forma basis over the vesting period of the options
(typically four years). The weighted average fair value of options granted
during 1999, 1998 and 1997 was $3.20, $7.59 and $7.30 per share, respectively.

Note 8.  SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN

On March 25, 1997, the Board of Directors adopted a Shareholder Rights Plan (the
Plan) designed to preserve and enhance shareholder value and the Company's
ability to carry out its long-term business strategy, and reserved 500,000
shares of Series A Preferred Stock for purposes of the Plan. In connection with
the adoption of the Plan, the Board of Directors declared a dividend
distribution of one Right per share of common stock, payable to the shareholders
of record on April 25, 1997. A Right enables the holder, under certain
circumstances, to purchase either Series A Preferred or Common Stock of the
Company. The Company may redeem the Rights for $0.001 per Right under certain
circumstances.

Note 9. INCOME TAXES

Income tax expense consists of federal and state income taxes. Deferred income
taxes are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and
tax bases of assets and liabilities, using currently enacted tax rates.
