(Attach extra Sheets if Needed)

Merix Corporation (“Merix”) was unable to file its Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 1, 2008 by the prescribed filing date without unreasonable effort or expense because additional time is necessary in order to complete certain of its closing procedures relating to inventory. Merix expects to file such Form 10-Q on or before April 15, 2008.

(2)

Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If answer is no, identify report(s). x Yes ¨ No

(3)	Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof? x Yes ¨ No

If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.

Merix currently believes that it will report a loss from continuing operations for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 as compared to income from continuing operations of $1.8 million or $0.09 per diluted share on revenue of $100.3 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2007. As a result, Merix anticipates that there will be a significant change in its results of operations for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2007. As stated in Part III above, Merix has not completed the process of preparation of the Form 10-Q and, accordingly, it is not able to provide a reasonable estimate of its results of operations for the three months ended March 1, 2008.
