PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Flextronics International Ltd.
Singapore
     We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Flextronics International Ltd. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 29, 2007, and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the three-month periods ended June 29, 2007 and June 30, 2006. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.
     We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
     Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to such condensed consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
     We have previously audited, in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of March 31, 2007 and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated May 25, 2007, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements and included an explanatory paragraph regarding the Company’s adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2007 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE A — ORGANIZATION OF THE COMPANY
     Flextronics International Ltd. (“Flextronics” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the Republic of Singapore in May 1990. The Company is a leading provider of advanced design and electronics manufacturing services (“EMS”) to original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) of a broad range of products in the following markets: computing; mobile communications; consumer digital; telecommunications infrastructure; industrial, semiconductor and white goods; automotive, marine and aerospace; and medical devices. The Company’s strategy is to provide customers with a full range of vertically-integrated global supply chain services through which the Company designs, builds and ships a complete packaged product for its OEM customers. OEM customers leverage the Company’s services to meet their product requirements throughout the entire product life cycle. The Company also provides after-market services such as logistics, repair and warranty services.
     The Company’s service offerings include rigid printed circuit board and flexible circuit fabrication, systems assembly and manufacturing (including enclosures, testing services, materials procurement and inventory management), logistics, after-sales services (including product repair, re-manufacturing and maintenance) and multiple component product offerings. Additionally, the Company provides market-specific design and engineering services ranging from contract design services (“CDM”), where the customer purchases services on a time and materials basis, to original product design and manufacturing services, where the customer purchases a product that was designed, developed and manufactured by the Company (commonly referred to as original design manufacturing, or “ODM”). ODM products are then sold by the Company’s OEM customers under the OEMs’ brand names. The Company’s CDM and ODM services include user interface and industrial design, mechanical engineering and tooling design, electronic system design and printed circuit board design.
     In September 2006, the Company completed the sale of its Software Development and Solutions business to an affiliate of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. (“KKR”). The results of operations for the Software Development and Solutions business are included in discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Refer to Note M, “Discontinued Operations” for further details.
     On June 4, 2007, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Solectron Corporation (“Solectron”) in a cash and stock transaction preliminarily valued at $3.7 billion, including estimated transaction related costs. Refer to the discussion of the Company’s definitive agreement with Solectron in Note L, “Acquisitions and Divestitures.”
NOTE B — SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
  Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP” or “GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the requirements of Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month period ended June 29, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008.
     The Company’s fiscal fourth quarter and year ends on March 31 of each year. The first and second fiscal quarters end on the Friday closest to the last day of each respective calendar quarter. The third fiscal quarter ends on December 31.
     Amounts included in the condensed consolidated financial statements are expressed in U.S. dollars unless otherwise designated.

Table of Contents

     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Flextronics and its majority-owned subsidiaries, after elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions. The Company consolidates all majority-owned subsidiaries and investments in entities in which the Company has a controlling interest. For consolidated majority-owned subsidiaries in which the Company owns less than 100%, the Company recognizes a minority interest for the ownership interest of the minority owner. As of June 29, 2007 and March 31, 2007, minority interest was not material. The associated minority owners’ interest in the income or losses of these companies has not been material to the Company’s results of operations for the three-month periods ended June 29, 2007 and June 30, 2006, and has been classified, as applicable, within income from discontinued operations or as interest and other expense, net, in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
   Use of Estimates
     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are used in accounting for, among other things, allowances for doubtful accounts, inventory write-downs, valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, useful lives of property, equipment and intangible assets, asset impairments, fair values of derivative instruments and the related hedged items, restructuring charges, contingencies, capital leases, and the fair values of options granted under the Company’s stock-based compensation plans. Actual results may differ from previously estimated amounts, and such differences may be material to the condensed consolidated financial statements. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of revisions are reflected in the period they occur.
   Translation of Foreign Currencies
     The financial position and results of operations for certain of the Company’s subsidiaries are measured using a currency other than the U.S. dollar as their functional currency. Accordingly, all assets and liabilities for these subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rates as of the respective balance sheet date. Revenue and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates prevailing during the period. Cumulative gains and losses from the translation of these subsidiaries’ financial statements are reported as a separate component of shareholders’ equity. Foreign exchange gains and losses arising from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity involved, and remeasurement adjustments for foreign operations where the U.S. dollar is the functional currency, are included in operating results.
   Revenue Recognition
     The Company recognizes manufacturing revenue when it ships goods or the goods are received by its customer, title and risk of ownership have passed, the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable and recoverability is reasonably assured. Generally, there are no formal customer acceptance requirements or further obligations related to manufacturing services. If such requirements or obligations exist, then the Company recognizes the related revenues at the time when such requirements are completed and the obligations are fulfilled. The Company makes provisions for estimated sales returns and other adjustments at the time revenue is recognized based upon contractual terms and an analysis of historical returns. These provisions were not material to the condensed consolidated financial statements for the three-month periods ended June 29, 2007 and June 30, 2006.
     The Company provides services for its customers that range from contract design to original product design to repair services. The Company recognizes service revenue when the services have been performed and the related costs are expensed as incurred. Net sales for services from continuing operations were less than 10% of the Company’s total sales from continuing operations during the three-month periods ended June 29, 2007 and June 30, 2006, and accordingly, are included in net sales in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
   Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
     The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and makes provisions for doubtful accounts based on the outcome of those credit evaluations. The Company evaluates the collectibility of its

8


Table of Contents

accounts receivable based on specific customer circumstances, current economic trends, historical experience with collections and the age of past due receivables. Unanticipated changes in the liquidity or financial position of the Company’s customers may require additional provisions for doubtful accounts.
   Inventories
     Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (on a first-in, first-out basis) or market value. The stated cost is comprised of direct materials, labor and overhead. The components of inventories, net of applicable lower of cost or market write-downs, were as follows:
                 
    As of   As of
    June 29, 2007   March 31, 2007
    (In thousands)
Raw materials
  $ 1,390,010     $ 1,338,613  
Work-in-progress
    528,348       602,629  
Finished goods
    596,519       621,061  
 
       
 
  $ 2,514,877     $ 2,562,303  
 
       
   Property and Equipment
     Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets (three to thirty years), with the exception of building leasehold improvements, which are amortized over the term of the lease, if shorter.
     The Company reviews property and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of property and equipment is measured by comparing its carrying amount to the projected undiscounted cash flows the property and equipment are expected to generate. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of a long-lived asset exceeds its fair value.
   Deferred Income Taxes
     The Company provides for income taxes in accordance with the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amount and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities by applying the applicable statutory tax rate to such differences.
   Purchase Accounting
     The Company has actively pursued business and asset acquisitions, which are accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The fair value of the net assets acquired and the results of the acquired businesses are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements from the acquisition dates forward. Under the purchase method of accounting, the Company is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and results of operations during the reporting period. Estimates are used in accounting for, among other things, the fair value of acquired net operating assets, property and equipment, intangible assets and related deferred tax liabilities, useful lives of plant and equipment and amortizable lives for acquired intangible assets. Any excess of the purchase consideration over the identified fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired is recognized as goodwill. Additionally, the Company may be required to recognize liabilities for anticipated restructuring costs that will be necessary due to the elimination of excess capacity, redundant assets or unnecessary functions.
     The Company estimates the preliminary fair value of acquired assets and liabilities as of the date of acquisition based on information available at that time and other estimates that management believes are reasonable. The valuation of these tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities is subject to further management review and may change materially between the preliminary allocation and end of the purchase price allocation period. Any changes in these estimates may have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated operating results or financial condition.

Table of Contents

     Goodwill and Other Intangibles
     Goodwill of the Company’s reporting units is tested for impairment each year as of January 31st and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of goodwill may not be recoverable. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level by comparing the reporting unit’s carrying amount, including goodwill, to the fair value of the reporting unit. Reporting units represent components of the Company for which discrete financial information is available that is regularly reviewed by management. For purposes of the annual goodwill impairment evaluation, as of January 31, 2007 the Company had a single reporting unit: Electronics Manufacturing Services. If the carrying amount of this reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the amount of impairment loss recognized, if any, is measured using a discounted cash flow analysis. Further, to the extent the carrying amount of the Company as a whole is greater than its market capitalization, all, or a significant portion of its goodwill may be considered impaired.
     The following table summarizes the activity in the Company’s goodwill account during the three-month period ended June 29, 2007:
         
    Amount
    (In thousands)
Balance, beginning of the year
  $ 3,076,400  
Purchase accounting adjustments (1)
    (16,831 )
Foreign currency translation adjustments
    4,321  
 
   
Balance, end of the year
  $ 3,063,890  
 
   
 
(1)  
Includes adjustments and reclassifications resulting from management’s final review of the valuation of tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities acquired through certain business combinations completed in a period subsequent to the respective period of acquisition, based on management’s estimates, of which approximately $11.9 million was attributable to the Company’s November 2006 acquisition of International DisplayWorks, Inc. (“IDW”). The remaining amount was primarily attributable to other immaterial purchase accounting adjustments and divestitures that were not individually significant to the Company. Refer to the discussion of the Company’s acquisitions in Note L, “Acquisitions and Divestitures.”
     The Company’s acquired intangible assets are subject to amortization over their estimated useful lives and are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an intangible may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of an intangible asset exceeds its fair value. Intangible assets are comprised of customer-related intangibles, which primarily include contractual agreements and customer relationships; and licenses and other intangibles, which is primarily comprised of licenses and also includes patents and trademarks, and developed technologies. Customer-related intangibles are amortized on a straight-line basis generally over a period of up to eight years, and licenses and other intangibles over a period of up to five years. No residual value is estimated for any intangible assets. During the three-month period ended June 29, 2007, there were approximately $42.0 million of additions to intangible assets related to customer-related intangibles and approximately $5.1 million related to acquired licenses. The fair value of the Company’s intangible assets purchased through business combinations is principally determined based on management’s estimates of cash flow and recoverability. The Company is in the process of determining the fair value of intangible assets acquired in certain historical business combinations. Such valuations will be completed within one year of purchase. The components of acquired intangible assets are as follows:

  Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
     All derivative instruments are recognized on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at fair value. If the derivative instrument is designated as a cash flow hedge, effectiveness is measured quarterly based on a regression of the spot rates for the notional currency pairs underlying the derivative instrument for the prior 30 month period. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument, excluding changes in fair value attributable to time value, is recognized in shareholders’ equity as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income and recognized in the condensed consolidated statement of operations when the hedged item affects earnings. Ineffective portions of changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges, together with changes in fair value attributable to time value, are recognized in earnings immediately. If the derivative instrument is designated as a fair value hedge, the changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument and of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings in the current period.
  Other Assets
     The Company has certain investments in, and notes receivable from, non-publicly traded companies, which are included within other assets in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. Non-majority-owned investments are accounted for using the equity method when the Company has an ownership percentage equal to or greater than 20%, or has the ability to significantly influence the operating decisions of the issuer; otherwise, the cost method is used. The Company monitors these investments for impairment and makes appropriate reductions in carrying values as required.
     As of June 29, 2007 and March 31, 2007, the Company’s investments in non-majority owned companies totaled $246.5 million and $250.5 million, respectively, of which $119.0 million and $122.9 million, respectively, were accounted for using the equity method. The associated equity in the earnings or losses of these equity method investments has not been material to the Company’s condensed consolidated results of operations for the three-month periods ended June 29, 2007 and June 30, 2006, and has been classified as a component of interest and other expense, net in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. As of June 29, 2007 and March 31, 2007, notes receivable from these non-majority owned investments totaled $353.9 million and $343.9 million, respectively, of which $123.9 million and $121.7 million, respectively, was due from an investment accounted for using the equity method.
     Other assets also include the Company’s own investment participation in its trade receivables securitization program as further discussed in Note H, “Trade Receivables Securitization.”
  Restructuring Charges
     The Company recognizes restructuring charges related to its plans to close or consolidate duplicate manufacturing and administrative facilities. In connection with these activities, the Company records restructuring charges for

11


Table of Contents

employee termination costs, long-lived asset impairment and other exit-related costs.
     The recognition of restructuring charges requires the Company to make certain judgments and estimates regarding the nature, timing and amount of costs associated with the planned exit activity. To the extent the Company’s actual results differ from its estimates and assumptions, the Company may be required to revise the estimates of future liabilities, requiring the recognition of additional restructuring charges or the reduction of liabilities already recognized. Such changes to previously estimated amounts may be material to the condensed consolidated financial statements. At the end of each reporting period, the Company evaluates the remaining accrued balances to ensure that no excess accruals are retained and the utilization of the provisions are for their intended purpose in accordance with developed exit plans.
  Recent Accounting Pronouncements
     In March 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets” (“SFAS 156”), which amends SFAS 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities.” SFAS 156 requires recognition of a servicing asset or liability at fair value each time an obligation is undertaken to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract. SFAS 156 also provides guidance on subsequent measurement methods for each class of servicing assets and liabilities and specifies financial statement presentation and disclosure requirements. SFAS 156 is effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006 and was adopted by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008. The adoption of SFAS 156 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
     In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”) as an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS 109”). This Interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized by prescribing a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This Interpretation also provides guidance on de-recognition of tax benefits previously recognized and additional disclosures for unrecognized tax benefits, interest and penalties. The evaluation of a tax position in accordance with this Interpretation begins with a determination as to whether it is more-likely-than-not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based on the technical merits of the position. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is then measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement for recognition in the financial statements. FIN 48 is effective no later than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, and was adopted by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008.
     The Company did not recognize any adjustments to its liability for unrecognized tax benefits as a result of the implementation of FIN 48 other than to reclassify $65.0 million from other current liabilities to other liabilities as required by the Interpretation. As of April 1, 2007 the Company had approximately $66.0 million of unrecognized tax benefits, substantially all of which, if recognized, would affect its tax expense. The Company’s unrecognized tax benefits are subject to change over the next twelve months primarily as a result of the expiration of certain statutes of limitations. Although the amount of these adjustments cannot be reasonably estimated at this time, the Company is not currently aware of any material impact on its condensed consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
     The Company and its subsidiaries file federal, state and local income tax returns in multiple jurisdictions around the world. With a few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2000.
     The Company has elected to include estimated interest and penalties on its tax liabilities as a component of tax expense. Estimated interest and penalties recognized in the condensed consolidated balance sheet and condensed consolidated statement of operations were not significant.

NOTE C — STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
     Effective April 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment,” (“SFAS 123(R)”) under the modified prospective transition method. As of June 29, 2007, the Company grants equity compensation awards to acquire the Company’s ordinary shares from three plans, which are referred to as the Company’s equity compensation plans below. For further discussion of these Plans, refer to Note 2, “Summary of Accounting Policies,” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007.
  Determining Fair Value
     The fair value of options granted to employees under the Company’s equity compensation plans during the three-month periods ended June 29, 2007 and June 30, 2006 was estimated using the following weighted-average assumptions:
                 
    Three-Month Periods Ended
    June 29, 2007   June 30, 2006
Expected term
  4.6 years   4.9 years
Expected volatility
    35.3   %     40.3   %
Expected dividends
    0.0   %     0.0   %
Risk-free interest rate
    4.5   %     4.9   %
Weighted-average fair value
  $ 4.10     $ 4.55  
Stock-Based Compensation Expense
     As required by SFAS 123(R), management estimates expected forfeitures and is recognizing compensation costs only for those equity awards expected to vest. When estimating forfeitures, the Company considers voluntary termination behavior as well as an analysis of actual option forfeitures.
     During the three-month period ended June 29, 2007, the Company capitalized approximately $604,000 of stock-based compensation as part of inventory. As of June 29, 2007, the total compensation cost related to unvested stock options granted to employees under the Company’s equity compensation plans but not yet recognized was approximately $52.3 million, net of estimated forfeitures of $3.9 million. This cost will be amortized on a straight-line basis over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.3 years, and will be adjusted for subsequent changes in estimated forfeitures. As of June 29, 2007, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested share bonus awards granted to employees under the Company’s equity compensation plans was approximately $49.0 million, net of estimated forfeitures of approximately $2.3 million. This cost will be amortized generally on a straight-line basis over a weighted-average period of approximately 3.4 years, and will be adjusted for subsequent changes in estimated forfeitures.
     In accordance with SFAS 123(R), the cash flows resulting from excess tax benefits (tax benefits related to the excess of proceeds from employee exercises of stock options over the stock-based compensation cost recognized for those options) are classified as financing cash flows. During the three-month periods ended June 29, 2007 and June 30, 2006, the Company did not recognize any excess tax benefits as a financing cash inflow related to its equity compensation plans.
  Stock-Based Awards Activity
     The following is a summary of option activity for the Company’s equity compensation plan’s, excluding unvested share bonus awards, during the three-month period ended June 29, 2007:

     The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised (calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the underlying award and the price of the Company’s ordinary shares determined as of the time of option exercise) under the Company’s equity compensation plans was $1.5 million and $2.7 million during the three-month periods ended June 29, 2007 and June 30, 2006, respectively.
     Cash received from option exercises under all equity compensation plans was $3.0 million for both the three-month periods ended June 29, 2007 and June 30, 2006.

     Of the 2.4 million unvested share bonus awards granted under the Company’s equity compensation plans during the three-month period ended June 29, 2007, 1,162,500 were granted to certain key employees whereby vesting is contingent upon both a service requirement and the Company’s achievement of certain longer-term goals over periods ranging between three to five years. Management currently believes that achievement of these longer-term goals is probable. Compensation expense for share bonus awards with both a service and performance condition is being recognized on a graded attribute basis over the respective requisite contractual or derived service period of the awards.
     The total fair value of shares vested under the Company’s equity compensation plans was $9.5 million and $138,000 during the three-month periods ending June 29, 2007 and June 30, 2006, respectively.

NOTE D — EARNINGS PER SHARE
     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings Per Share” (“SFAS 128”), requires entities to present both basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share exclude dilution and is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the applicable periods.
     Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution from stock options, share bonus awards and convertible securities. The potential dilution from stock options exercisable into ordinary share equivalents and share bonus awards was calculated using the treasury stock method based on the average fair market value of the Company’s ordinary shares for the period. The potential dilution from the conversion spread (excess of conversion value over face value) of the Subordinated Notes convertible into ordinary share equivalents was calculated as the quotient of the conversion spread and the average fair market value of the Company’s ordinary shares for the period.
     The following table reflects the basic weighted-average ordinary shares outstanding and diluted weighted-average ordinary share equivalents used to calculate basic and diluted income per share from continuing operations:

Ordinary share equivalents from stock options to purchase approximately 38.3 million and 41.5 million shares outstanding during the three-month periods ended June 29, 2007 and June 30, 2006, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share primarily because the exercise price of these options was greater than the average market price of the Company’s ordinary shares during the respective periods.
 
  (2)  
The principal amount of the Company’s Zero Coupon Convertible Junior Subordinated Notes will be settled in cash, and the conversion spread (excess of conversion value over face value), if any, will be settled by issuance of shares upon maturity. Approximately 1.2 million and 856,000 ordinary share equivalents from the conversion spread have been included as common stock equivalents during the three-month periods ended June 29, 2007 and June 30, 2006, respectively.
 
     
In addition, as the Company has the positive intent and ability to settle the principal amount of its 1% Convertible Subordinated Notes due August 2010 in cash, approximately 32.2 million ordinary share equivalents related to the principal portion of the Notes are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share. The Company intends to settle any conversion spread (excess of the conversion value over face value) in stock. During the three-month periods ended June 29, 2007 and June 30, 2006, the conversion obligation was less than the principal portion of the Convertible Notes and accordingly, no additional shares were included as ordinary share equivalents.

NOTE F — BANK BORROWINGS AND LONG-TERM DEBT
     On May 10, 2007, the Company entered into a new five-year $2.0 billion credit facility, which expires in May 2012, which replaced the Company’s $1.35 billion credit facility previously existing as of March 31, 2007. As of June 29, 2007 and March 31, 2007, there were no borrowings outstanding under the $2.0 billion or $1.35 billion credit facilities. The $2.0 billion credit facility is unsecured, and contains certain covenants that are subject to a number of significant exceptions and limitations, and also requires that the Company maintain a maximum ratio of total indebtedness to EBITDA (earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization), and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, as defined, during its term. As of June 29, 2007, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants under the $2.0 billion credit facility.
     The Company and certain of its subsidiaries also have various uncommitted revolving credit facilities, lines of credit and term loans in the amount of $543.0 million in the aggregate, under which there were approximately $5.7 million and $8.1 million of borrowings outstanding as of June 29, 2007 and March 31, 2007, respectively. These credit facilities are unsecured and require the Company maintain a maximum ratio of total indebtedness to EBITDA, and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, as defined, during their term. As of June 29, 2007, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants under these facilities. The lines of credit and term loans are primarily secured by accounts receivable.
NOTE G — FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
     Due to their short-term nature, the carrying amount of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates fair value. The Company’s cash equivalents are comprised of cash deposited in money market accounts and certificates of deposit. The Company’s investment policy limits the amount of credit exposure to 20% of the total investment portfolio in any single issuer.
     The Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk inherent in forecasted sales, cost of sales, and assets and liabilities denominated in non-functional currencies. The Company has established currency risk management programs to protect against reductions in value and volatility of future cash flows caused by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company enters into short-term foreign currency forward and swap contracts to hedge only those currency exposures associated with certain assets and liabilities, primarily accounts receivable and accounts payable, and cash flows denominated in non-functional currencies. Gains and losses on the Company’s forward and swap contracts generally offset losses and gains on the assets, liabilities and transactions hedged, and accordingly, generally do not subject the Company to risk of significant accounting losses. The Company hedges committed exposures and does not engage in speculative transactions. The credit risk of these forward and swap contracts is minimized since the contracts are with large financial institutions.
     As of June 29, 2007 and March 31, 2007, the net fair value of the Company’s short-term foreign currency contracts was not material. As of June 29, 2007 and March 31, 2007, the associated deferred losses relating to changes in fair value of the Company’s foreign currency contracts were also not material, were included as a component of other comprehensive income, and are expected to be recognized in earnings over the next twelve

Table of Contents

month period. The gains and losses recognized in earnings due to hedge ineffectiveness were not material for the three-month periods ended June 29, 2007 and June 30, 2006.
     On November 17, 2004, the Company issued $500.0 million of 6.25% Senior Subordinated Notes due in November 2014, of which $402.1 million of the original amount issued was outstanding as of June 29, 2007 and March 31, 2007. Interest is payable semi-annually on May 15 and November 15. The Company also entered into interest rate swap transactions to effectively convert a portion of the fixed interest rate debt to a variable rate. The swaps, having notional amounts totaling $400.0 million and which expire in November 2014, are accounted for as fair value hedges under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 133”). Under the terms of the swaps, the Company pays an interest rate equal to the six-month LIBOR (estimated as 5.49% at June 29, 2007), set in arrears, plus a fixed spread ranging from 1.37% to 1.52%, and receives a fixed rate of 6.25%. No portion of the swap transaction is treated as ineffective under SFAS 133. As of June 29, 2007 and March 31, 2007, the Company recognized approximately $23.4 million and $13.0 million in other current liabilities, respectively, to reflect the fair value of the interest rate swaps, with a corresponding decrease to the carrying value of the 6.25% Senior Subordinated Notes.
NOTE H — TRADE RECEIVABLES SECURITIZATION
     The Company continuously sells a designated pool of trade receivables to a third-party qualified special purpose entity, which in turn sells an undivided ownership interest to a conduit, administered by an unaffiliated financial institution. In addition to this financial institution, the Company participates in the securitization agreement as an investor in the conduit. The Company continues to service, administer and collect the receivables on behalf of the special purpose entity. The Company pays annual facility and commitment fees ranging from 0.16% to 0.40% (averaging approximately 0.25%) for unused amounts and an additional program fee of 0.10% on outstanding amounts. The securitization agreement allows the operating subsidiaries participating in the securitization program to receive a cash payment for sold receivables, less a deferred purchase price receivable. The Company’s share of the total investment varies depending on certain criteria, mainly the collection performance on the sold receivables.
     As of June 29, 2007 and March 31, 2007, approximately $537.7 million and $427.7 million of the Company’s accounts receivable, respectively, had been sold to the third-party qualified special purpose entity described above, which represent the face amount of the total outstanding trade receivables on all designated customer accounts on those dates. The Company received net cash proceeds of approximately $416.4 million and $334.0 million from the unaffiliated financial institutions for the sale of these receivables as of June 29, 2007 and March 31, 2007, respectively. The Company has a recourse obligation that is limited to the deferred purchase price receivable, which approximates 5% of the total sold receivables, and its own investment participation, the total of which was approximately $121.3 million and $93.7 million as of June 29, 2007 and March 31, 2007, respectively. The Company also sold accounts receivables to certain third-party banking institutions with limited recourse, which management believes is nominal. The outstanding balance of receivables sold and not yet collected was approximately $443.5 million and $398.7 million as of June 29, 2007 and March 31, 2007, respectively.
     In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities” (“SFAS 140”), the accounts receivable balances that were sold were removed from the condensed consolidated balance sheets and are reflected as cash provided by operating activities in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.
NOTE I — RESTRUCTURING CHARGES
     In recent years, the Company has initiated a series of restructuring activities intended to realign the Company’s global capacity and infrastructure with demand by its OEM customers so as to optimize the operational efficiency, which include reducing excess workforce and capacity, and consolidating and relocating certain manufacturing and administrative facilities to lower-cost regions.
     The restructuring costs include employee severance, costs related to leased facilities, owned facilities that are no longer in use and are to be disposed of, leased equipment that is no longer in use and will be disposed of, and other costs associated with the exit of certain contractual agreements due to facility closures. The overall impact of these activities is that the Company shifts its manufacturing capacity to locations with higher efficiencies and, in most

17


Table of Contents

instances, lower costs, and better utilizes its overall existing manufacturing capacity. This enhances the Company’s ability to provide cost-effective manufacturing service offerings, which enables it to retain and expand the Company’s existing relationships with customers and attract new business.
     As of June 29, 2007 and March 31, 2007, assets that were no longer in use and held for sale as a result of restructuring activities totaled approximately $15.9 million and $24.2 million, respectively, primarily representing manufacturing facilities located in the Americas that have been closed as part of the Company’s historical facility consolidations. For assets held for sale, depreciation ceases and an impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value less cost to sell. Assets held for sale are included in other current assets and other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
  Fiscal Year 2008
     The Company recognized restructuring charges of approximately $10.7 million during the three-month period ended June 29, 2007 for employee termination costs associated with the involuntary termination of 173 identified employees in Europe.

NOTE K — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
     The Company is subject to legal proceedings, claims, and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company defends itself vigorously against any such claims. Although the outcome of these matters is currently not determinable, management does not expect that the ultimate costs to resolve these matters will have a material adverse effect on its condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
     On June 4, 2007, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Solectron in a cash and stock transaction preliminarily valued at $3.7 billion, including estimated transaction related costs. Refer to the discussion of the Company’s definitive agreement with Solectron in Note L, “Acquisitions and Divestitures.”
NOTE L — ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES
  Solectron Acquisition
     On June 4, 2007, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Solectron Corporation (“Solectron”), pursuant to which the Company will acquire Solectron. If the merger is completed, Solectron stockholders will be entitled to receive, for each share of Solectron common stock they own and at the election of the stockholder, either: (i) 0.3450 of a Flextronics ordinary share, or (ii) a cash payment of $3.89, without interest. As further described in the joint proxy statement/prospectus, which forms a part of a registration statement on Form S-4/A filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on August 7, 2007, the Merger Agreement provides that, regardless of the elections made by Solectron stockholders, no more than 70% of Solectron’s outstanding shares of common stock (including the outstanding exchangeable shares of Solectron Global Services Canada Inc.) can be converted into the Company’s ordinary shares, and no more than 50% of Solectron’s outstanding shares of common stock (including the outstanding exchangeable shares of Solectron Global Services Canada Inc.) can be converted into cash. Therefore, the cash and stock elections made by Solectron stockholders may be subject to pro-ration based on these limits. As a result, Solectron stockholders that have elected to receive either cash or Flextronics ordinary shares could in certain circumstances receive a combination of both cash and ordinary shares of the Company. Additionally, the Company would also assume each outstanding option to purchase Solectron common stock with an exercise price equal to or less than $5.00, whether or not exercisable.
     The transaction will be accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The total preliminary estimated purchase price is approximately $3.7 billion, including estimated transaction costs, comprised primarily of the Company’s ordinary shares, cash, direct transaction costs and assumed vested stock options. The Company currently estimates that the acquisition of Solectron could require up to $1.9 billion for funding the cash portion of the merger, including acquisition and financing related costs, assuming holders of 50% of Solectron’s outstanding shares elect to receive cash. While the Company continues to evaluate alternative long-term financing arrangements, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. has committed to provide the Company with a $2.5 billion seven-year senior unsecured term loan to fund the cash requirements for this transaction (including the refinancing of Solectron’s debt, if required). The merger is not conditioned on receipt of financing by the Company.
     The acquisition cannot be completed unless the Company’s shareholders approve the issuance of Flextronics ordinary shares pursuant to the Merger Agreement and Solectron’s stockholders adopt the Merger Agreement, each at their respective stockholders’ meetings. The completion of the merger is also subject to the satisfaction or waiver of other conditions that are contained in the Merger Agreement, including regulatory approvals. The acquisition is expected to close in the quarter ended December 31, 2007. The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for both the Company and Solectron, and further provides for payment of a termination fee of $100.0 million by either Solectron or the Company upon termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances.
  Acquisitions
     The business and asset acquisitions described below were accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, and accordingly, the fair value of the net assets acquired and the results of the acquired businesses were included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements from the acquisition dates forward. The Company has not finalized the allocation of the consideration for certain of its recently completed acquisitions and

20


Table of Contents

expects to complete these valuations within one year of the respective acquisition date.
  Nortel
     On June 29, 2004, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with Nortel providing for the Company’s purchase of certain of Nortel’s optical, wireless, wireline and enterprise manufacturing operations and optical design operations. The purchase of these assets has occurred in stages, with the final stage of the asset purchase occurring in May 2006 as the Company completed the acquisition of the manufacturing system house operations in Calgary, Canada.
     Flextronics provides the majority of Nortel’s systems integration activities, final assembly, testing and repair operations, along with the management of the related supply chain and suppliers, under a four-year manufacturing agreement. Additionally, Flextronics provides Nortel with design services for end-to-end, carrier grade optical network products.
     The aggregate purchase price for the assets acquired, net of closing costs, was approximately $594.4 million, of which no amount was paid in the three-month period ended June 29, 2007, as there were no further amounts due Nortel under the asset purchase agreement. Approximately $70.0 million was paid during the three-month period ended June 30, 2006. The allocation of the purchase price to specific assets and liabilities was based upon management’s estimates of cash flow and recoverability and was approximately $340.2 million to inventory, $40.8 million to fixed assets and other, and $118.5 million to current and non-current liabilities with the remaining amounts being allocated to intangible assets, including goodwill. The purchases have resulted in purchased intangible assets of approximately $49.4 million, primarily related to customer relationships and contractual agreements with weighted-average useful lives of 8 years, and goodwill of approximately $282.5 million. On October 13, 2006, the Company entered into an amendment (“Nortel Amendment”) to the various agreements with Nortel to expand Nortel’s obligation for reimbursement for certain costs associated with the transaction. The allocation of the purchase price to specific assets and liabilities is subject to adjustment based on the nature of the costs that are contingently reimbursable under the Nortel Amendment through fiscal year 2008. The contingent reimbursement has not been recorded as part of the purchase price, pending the outcome of the contingency.
  International DisplayWorks, Inc. (“IDW”)
     On November 30, 2006, the Company completed its acquisition of 100% of the outstanding common stock of IDW in a stock-for-stock merger for total purchase consideration of approximately $299.6 million. The allocation of the purchase price to specific assets and liabilities was based upon managements’ estimate of cash flow and recoverability. As of June 29, 2007, management estimates the allocation to be approximately $105.8 million to current assets, primarily comprised of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts receivable and inventory, approximately $30.6 million to fixed assets, and approximately $61.0 million to assumed liabilities, primarily accounts payable and other current liabilities, with the remaining amounts allocated to intangible assets, including goodwill. The purchases have resulted in purchased intangible assets of approximately $29.0 million, primarily related to customer relationships and contractual agreements with weighted-average useful lives of 8 years, and goodwill of approximately $195.2 million. The allocation of the purchase price to specific assets and liabilities, including intangible assets and goodwill, is subject to final purchase price adjustments.
     Pro forma results for the Company’s acquisitions of Nortel’s operations in Calgary, Canada, and IDW have not been presented for the three-month periods ended June 29, 2007 and June 30, 2006 as such results were not materially different from the Company’s actual results.
  Other Acquisitions
     Comparative pro forma information for the acquisitions described below has not been presented, as the results of operations were not material to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements on either an individual or an aggregate basis.
     During the three-month period ended June 30, 2006, the Company completed one acquisition that was not significant to the Company’s condensed consolidated results for continuing operations and financial position. The acquired business complements the Company’s design and manufacturing of test equipment for the industrial market

segment. The aggregate purchase price for this acquisition totaled approximately $25.5 million, which was financed with a 90 day seller note and subsequently paid during September 2007 quarter. The Company also paid $15.7 million for the purchase of an additional 3% incremental ownership of Flextronics Software Systems Limited (“FSS”), which was subsequently sold with the Company’s Software Development and Solutions Business. Accordingly, the results of operations of FSS are reflected in discontinued operations. In addition, the Company paid approximately $5.0 million in cash for contingent purchase price adjustments relating to certain historical acquisitions, all of which were attributable to discontinued operations. Identifiable intangible assets, primarily related to customer relationships and contractual agreements with weighted-average useful lives of 7 years, and goodwill, resulting from these transactions as well as from purchase price adjustments for certain historical acquisitions, were approximately $2.0 million and $17.5 million, respectively. All of the goodwill was attributable to discontinued operations. The purchase price for these acquisitions has been allocated on the basis of the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The purchase price for acquisitions attributable to continuing operations is subject to adjustments for contingent consideration, based upon the businesses achieving specified levels of earnings through January 2008. Generally, the contingent consideration has not been recorded as part of the purchase price, pending the outcome of the contingency.
NOTE M — DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
     Consistent with its strategy to evaluate the strategic and financial contributions of each of its operations and to focus on the primary growth objectives in the Company’s core EMS vertically-integrated business activities, the Company divested its Software Development and Solutions business in September 2006. In conjunction with the divestiture of the Software Development and Solutions business, the Company retained a 15% equity interest in the divested business. As the Company does not have the ability to significantly influence the operating decisions of the divested business, the cost method of accounting for the investment is used.
     In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS 144”), the divestiture of the Software Development and Solutions business qualifies as discontinued operations, and accordingly, the Company has reported the results of operations and financial position of this business in discontinued operations within the statements of operations for the three-month period ended June 30, 2006. As the divestiture of the Company’s Software Development and Solutions business was completed in September 2006, there were no results from discontinued operations for the three-month period ended June 29, 2007, or assets or liabilities attributable to discontinued operations as of June 29, 2007 or March 31, 2007.
     The results from discontinued operations for the three-month period ended June 30, 2006 were as follows (in thousands):

OVERVIEW
     We are a leading provider of advanced design and electronics manufacturing services (“EMS”) to original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) of a broad range of products in the following markets: computing; mobile communication devices; consumer digital devices; telecommunications infrastructure; industrial, semiconductor and white goods; automotive, marine and aerospace; and medical devices. We provide a full range of vertically-integrated global supply chain services through which we design, build, and ship a complete packaged product for our customers. Customers leverage our services to meet their product requirements throughout the entire product life cycle. Our vertically-integrated service offerings include: design services; rigid printed circuit board and flexible circuit fabrication; systems assembly and manufacturing; logistics; after-sales services; and multiple component product offerings.
     We are one of the world’s largest EMS providers, with revenues from continuing operations of $5.2 billion during the three-month period ended June 29, 2007, and $18.9 billion in fiscal year 2007. As of March 31, 2007, our total manufacturing capacity was approximately 17.7 million square feet in over 30 countries across four continents. We have established an extensive network of manufacturing facilities in the world’s major electronics markets (Asia, the Americas and Europe) in order to serve the growing outsourcing needs of both multinational and regional OEMs. For the three-month period ended June 29, 2007, our net sales from continuing operations in Asia, the Americas and Europe represented approximately 59%, 25% and 16%, respectively, of our total net sales from continuing operations.
     We believe that the combination of our extensive design and engineering services, global presence, vertically-integrated end-to-end services, advanced supply chain management, industrial campuses in low-cost geographic areas, operational track record as well as depth in management provide us with a competitive advantage in the market for designing and manufacturing electronics products for leading multinational OEMs. Through these services and facilities, we simplify the global product development and manufacturing process and provide meaningful time-to-market and cost savings for our OEM customers.
     The EMS industry has experienced rapid change and growth over the past decade. The demand for advanced manufacturing capabilities and related supply chain management services continues to escalate as an increasing number of OEMs have outsourced some or all of their design and manufacturing requirements. Price pressure on our customers’ products in their end markets has led to increased demand for EMS production capacity in the lower-cost regions of the world, such as China, India, Malaysia, Mexico, and Eastern Europe, where we have a significant presence. We have responded by making strategic decisions to realign our global capacity and infrastructure with the demands of our customers to optimize the operating efficiencies that can be provided by our global presence. The overall impact of these activities is that we have shifted our manufacturing capacity to locations with higher efficiencies and, in most instances, lower costs, thereby enhancing our ability to provide cost-effective

Table of Contents

manufacturing service in order for us to retain and expand our existing relationships with customers and attract new business. As a result, we have recognized a significant amount of restructuring charges in connection with the realignment of our global capacity and infrastructure.
   Our operating results are affected by a number of factors, including the following:
   
our customers may not be successful in marketing their products, their products may not gain widespread commercial acceptance, and our customers’ products have short product life cycles;
 
   
our customers may cancel or delay orders or change production quantities;
 
   
integration of acquired businesses and facilities;
 
   
our operating results vary significantly from period to period due to the mix of the manufacturing services we are providing, the number and size of new manufacturing programs, the degree to which we utilize our manufacturing capacity, seasonal demand, shortages of components and other factors;
 
   
our increased design services and components offerings may reduce our profitability as we are required to make substantial investments in the resources necessary to design and develop these products without guarantee of cost recovery and margin generation;
 
   
our ability to achieve commercially viable production yields and to manufacture components in commercial quantities to the performance specifications demanded by our OEM customers; and
 
   
managing growth and changes in our operations.
   We have actively pursued acquisitions and purchases of manufacturing facilities, design and engineering resources and technologies in order to expand our worldwide operations, broaden our service offerings, diversify and strengthen our customer relationships, and enhance our competitive position as a leading provider of comprehensive outsourcing solutions. On June 4, 2007, we entered into an agreement and plan of merger with Solectron Corporation (“Solectron”), pursuant to which we will acquire Solectron in a stock and cash transaction with a preliminary estimated value of approximately $3.7 billion, including estimated transaction costs. While we continue to evaluate alternative long-term financing arrangements, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. has committed to provide the Company with a $2.5 billion seven-year senior unsecured term loan to fund the cash requirements for this transaction (including the refinancing of Solectron’s debt, if required). For further discussion regarding the specific terms of the transaction, associated risks and conditions to closing, refer to Note L “Acquisitions and Divestitures” to our condensed consolidated financial statements, and our joint proxy statement/prospectus, which forms a part of a registration statement on Form S-4/A filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on August 7, 2007.
     The acquisition cannot be completed unless our shareholders approve the issuance of Flextronics ordinary shares pursuant to the Merger Agreement and Solectron’s stockholders adopt the Merger Agreement, each at their respective stockholder meetings. The completion of the merger is also subject to the satisfaction or waiver of other conditions that are contained in the Merger Agreement, including regulatory approvals. The acquisition is expected to close in the quarter ended December 31, 2007.
     If we complete the acquisition of Solectron, our operating results also will be affected by integration and restructuring activities related to the acquisition.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
     We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements. For further discussion of our significant accounting policies, refer to Note 2, “Summary of Accounting Policies,” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 and the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this report on Form 10-Q.

Table of Contents

  Revenue Recognition
     We recognize manufacturing revenue when we ship goods or the goods are received by our customer, title and risk of ownership have passed, the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable and recoverability is reasonably assured. Generally, there are no formal customer acceptance requirements or further obligations related to manufacturing services. If such requirements or obligations exist, then we recognize the related revenues at the time when such requirements are completed and the obligations are fulfilled. We make provisions for estimated sales returns and other adjustments at the time revenue is recognized based upon contractual terms and an analysis of historical returns. These provisions were not material to our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three-month periods ended June 29, 2007 and June 30, 2006.
     We provide a comprehensive suite of services for our customers that range from contract design services to original product design to repair services. We recognize service revenue when the services have been performed, and the related costs are expensed as incurred. Our net sales for services from continuing operations were less than 10% of our total sales from continuing operations during the three-month periods ended June 29, 2007 and June 30, 2006, and accordingly, are included in net sales in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
  Stock-Based Compensation
     We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123(R)”). Under the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123(R), stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense ratably over the requisite service period of the award. Determining the appropriate fair value model and calculating the fair value of stock-based awards at the grant date requires judgment, including estimating stock price volatility and expected option life. If actual forfeitures or expectations regarding the Company’s achievement of certain performance goals when vesting is contingent upon both a service and performance condition differ significantly from our estimates, adjustments to compensation cost may be required in future periods.
  Restructuring Costs
     We recognize restructuring charges related to our plans to close or consolidate duplicate manufacturing and administrative facilities. In connection with these activities, we recognize restructuring charges for employee termination costs, long-lived asset impairment and other restructuring-related costs.
     The recognition of the restructuring charges require that we make certain judgments and estimates regarding the nature, timing and amount of costs associated with the planned exit activity. To the extent our actual results in exiting these facilities differ from our estimates and assumptions, we may be required to revise the estimates of future liabilities, requiring the recognition of additional restructuring charges or the reduction of liabilities already recognized. At the end of each reporting period, we evaluate the remaining accrued balances to ensure that no excess accruals are retained and the utilization of the provisions are for their intended purpose in accordance with developed exit plans.
     Refer to Note I, “Restructuring Charges,” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of our restructuring activities.
  Income Taxes
     Our deferred income tax assets represent temporary differences between the carrying amount and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities which will result in deductible amounts in future years, including net operating loss carryforwards. Based on estimates, the carrying value of our net deferred tax assets assumes that it is more-likely-than-not that we will be able to generate sufficient future taxable income in certain tax jurisdictions to realize these deferred income tax assets. Our judgments regarding future profitability may change due to future market conditions, changes in U.S. or international tax laws and other factors. If these estimates and related assumptions change in the future, we may be required to increase or decrease our valuation allowance against deferred tax assets previously recognized, resulting in additional or lesser income tax expense.

     In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”) as an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS 109”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized by prescribing a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, and also provides guidance on de-recognition of tax benefits previously recognized. We adopted FIN 48 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008, and did not recognize any adjustments to our liability for unrecognized tax benefits as a result of the implementation of FIN 48.
     Our unrecognized tax benefits are subject to change over the next twelve months primarily as a result of the expiration of certain statutes of limitations. Although the amount of these adjustments cannot be reasonably estimated at this time, we are not currently aware of any material impact on our condensed consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
  Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
     We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers’ financial condition and make provisions for doubtful accounts based on the outcome of our credit evaluations. We evaluate the collectibility of our accounts receivable based on specific customer circumstances, current economic trends, historical experience with collections and the age of past due receivables. Unanticipated changes in the liquidity or financial position of our customers may require additional provisions for doubtful accounts.
   Inventory Valuation
     Our inventories are stated at the lower of cost (on a first-in, first-out basis) or market value. Our industry is characterized by rapid technological change, short-term customer commitments and rapid changes in demand. We make provisions for estimated excess and obsolete inventory based on our regular reviews of inventory quantities on hand and the latest forecasts of product demand and production requirements from our customers. If actual market conditions or our customers’ product demands are less favorable than those projected, additional provisions may be required. In addition, unanticipated changes in the liquidity or financial position of our customers and/or changes in economic conditions may require additional provisions for inventories due to our customers’ inability to fulfill their contractual obligations with regard to inventory procured to fulfill customer demand.
   Purchase Accounting
     We have actively pursued business and asset acquisitions, which are accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The fair value of the net assets acquired and the results of the acquired businesses are included in our condensed consolidated financial statements from the acquisition dates forward. Under the purchase method of accounting we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and results of operations during the reporting period. Estimates are used in accounting for, among other things, the fair value of acquired net operating assets, property and equipment, intangible assets and related deferred tax liabilities, useful lives of plant and equipment and amortizable lives for acquired intangible assets. Any excess of the purchase consideration over the identified fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired is recognized as goodwill. Additionally, we may be required to recognize liabilities for anticipated restructuring costs that will be necessary due to the elimination of excess capacity, redundant assets or unnecessary functions. Certain liabilities associated with these restructuring activities are recorded as liabilities assumed in the acquisition with a corresponding increase in goodwill and no impact on operating results.
     We estimate the preliminary fair value of acquired assets and liabilities as of the date of acquisition based on information available at that time and other estimates that management believes are reasonable. The valuation of these tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities is subject to further management review and may change materially between the preliminary allocation and end of the purchase price allocation period. Any changes in these estimates may have a material impact on our condensed consolidated operating results or financial condition.

   Long-Lived Assets
     We review property and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of a long-lived asset exceeds its fair value. Recoverability of property and equipment is measured by comparing its carrying amount to the projected cash flows the property and equipment are expected to generate. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment loss recognized, if any, is the amount by which the carrying amount of the property and equipment exceeds the projected discounted cash flows the property and equipment are expected to generate.
     We evaluate goodwill for impairment on an annual basis. We also evaluate goodwill and other intangibles for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable from its estimated future cash flows. Recoverability of goodwill is measured at the reporting unit level by comparing the reporting unit’s carrying amount, including goodwill, to the fair value of the reporting unit. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the amount of impairment loss recognized, if any, is measured using a discounted cash flow analysis. If, at the time of our annual evaluation, the net asset value (or “book value”) of any reporting unit is greater than its fair value, some or all of the related goodwill would likely be considered to be impaired. Further, to the extent the carrying value of the Company as a whole is greater than its market capitalization, all, or a significant portion of our goodwill may be considered impaired. To date, we have not recognized any impairment of our goodwill and other intangible assets in connection with our impairment evaluations. However, we have recognized impairment charges in connection with our restructuring activities.
   Long-term Investments
     We have certain investments in, and notes receivable from, non-publicly traded companies, which are included within other assets in our consolidated balance sheets. Non-majority-owned investments are accounted for using the equity method when we have an ownership percentage equal to or greater than 20%, or have the ability to significantly influence the operating decisions of the issuer; otherwise the cost method is used. We monitor these investments for impairment and make appropriate reductions in carrying values if we determine an impairment charge is required, based primarily on the financial condition and prospects of these companies. Our ongoing consideration of these factors could result in additional impairment charges in the future, which could adversely affect our results of operations.
  Recent Accounting Pronouncements
     In March 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets” (“SFAS 156”), which amends SFAS 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities.” SFAS 156 requires recognition of a servicing asset or liability at fair value each time an obligation is undertaken to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract. SFAS 156 also provides guidance on subsequent measurement methods for each class of servicing assets and liabilities and specifies financial statement presentation and disclosure requirements. SFAS 156 is effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006 and was adopted by us in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008. The adoption of SFAS 156 did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
     In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”) as an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS 109”). This Interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized by prescribing a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This Interpretation also provides guidance on de-recognition of tax benefits previously recognized and additional disclosures for unrecognized tax benefits, interest and penalties. The evaluation of a tax position in accordance with this Interpretation begins with a determination as to whether it is more-likely-than-not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based on the technical merits of the position. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is then measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement for recognition in the financial statements. FIN 48 is effective no later than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, and was adopted by us in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008.

     We did not recognize any adjustments to our liability for unrecognized tax benefits as a result of the implementation of FIN 48 other than to reclassify $65.0 million from other current liabilities to other liabilities as required by the Interpretation. As of April 1, 2007, we had approximately $66.0 million of unrecognized tax benefits, substantially all of which, if recognized, would affect our tax expense. Our unrecognized tax benefits are subject to change over the next twelve months primarily as a result of the expiration of certain statutes of limitations. Although the amount of these adjustments cannot be reasonably estimated at this time, we are not currently aware of any material impact on our condensed consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
     The Company and its subsidiaries file federal, state and local income tax returns in multiple jurisdictions around the world. With a few exceptions, we are no longer subject to income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2000.
     We have elected to include estimated interest and penalties on our tax liabilities as a component of tax expense. Estimated interest and penalties recognized in the condensed consolidated balance sheet and condensed consolidated statement of operations were not significant.

     Net Sales
     Net sales during the three-month period ended June 29, 2007 totaled $5.2 billion, representing an increase of $1.1 billion, or 27.0%, from $4.1 billion during the three-month period ended June 30, 2006, primarily due to new program wins from various customers across multiple markets. Sales increased across the following markets we serve; (i) $437.8 million in the telecommunications infrastructure market, (ii) $382.4 million in the mobile communications market, (iii) $183.7 million in the consumer digital market, and (iv) $160.9 million in the industrial, medical, automotive and other markets, and was offset by a decrease of $66.9 million in the computing market. Net sales during the three-month period ended June 29, 2007 increased by $663.3 million, $365.4 million and $69.2 million in Asia, the Americas and Europe, respectively.

Table of Contents

     Our ten largest customers during the three-month periods ended June 29, 2007 and June 30, 2006 accounted for approximately 62% and 66% of net sales, respectively, with Sony-Ericsson accounting for greater than 10% of our net sales during the three-month period ended June 29, 2007 and Sony-Ericsson, Hewlett-Packard and Nortel each accounting for greater than 10% of our net sales during the three-month period ended June 30, 2006.
  Gross Profit
     Gross profit is affected by a number of factors, including the number and size of new manufacturing programs, product mix, component costs and availability, product life cycles, unit volumes, pricing, competition, new product introductions, capacity utilization and the expansion and consolidation of manufacturing facilities. Typically, profitability lags revenue growth in new programs due to product start-up costs, lower manufacturing program volumes in the start-up phase, operational inefficiencies, and under-absorbed overhead. Gross margin often improves over time as manufacturing program volumes increase, as our utilization rates and overhead absorption improves, and as we increase the level of vertically-integrated manufacturing services content. As a result, our gross margin varies from period to period.
     Gross profit during the three-month period ended June 29, 2007 increased $44.8 million to $280.8 million, or 5.4% of net sales, from $236.0 million, or 5.8% of net sales, during the three-month period ended June 30, 2006. The 40 basis point period-over-period decrease in gross margin was primarily attributable to a 20 basis point increase in cost of sales related to higher volume, lower margin customer programs, and higher start-up and integration costs associated with multiple new large scale programs, and 20 basis points for restructuring charges incurred during the three-month period ended June 29, 2007.
  Restructuring Charges
     In recent years, we have initiated a series of restructuring activities which are intended to realign our global capacity and infrastructure with demand by our OEM customers and thereby improve our operational efficiency. These activities included:
   
reducing excess workforce and capacity;
   
consolidating and relocating certain manufacturing facilities to lower-cost regions; and
   
consolidating and relocating certain administrative facilities.
     These restructuring costs include employee severance, costs related to owned and leased facilities and equipment that are no longer in use and are to be disposed of, and other costs associated with the exit of certain contractual agreements due to facility closures. The overall impact of these activities is that we shift our manufacturing capacity to locations with higher efficiencies and, in most instances, lower costs, and better utilize our overall existing manufacturing capacity. This enhances our ability to provide cost-effective manufacturing service offerings, which enables us to retain and expand our existing relationships with customers and attract new business. We may utilize similar measures in the future to realign our operations relative to changing customer demand, which may materially affect our results of operations in the future. We believe that the potential savings in cost of goods sold achieved through lower depreciation and reduced employee expenses as a result of our restructurings will be offset in part by reduced revenues at the affected facilities.
     During the three-month period ended June 29, 2007, we recognized restructuring charges of approximately $10.7 million for involuntary employee terminations in Europe. Approximately $9.8 million of the charges were classified as a component of cost of sales. As of June 29, 2007, accrued employee termination and facility closure costs related to restructuring charges incurred during the three-month period ended June 29, 2007 and prior were approximately $67.1 million, of which approximately $21.6 million was classified as a long-term obligation.
     We did not recognize any restructuring charges during the three-month period ended June 30, 2006.
     Refer to Note I, “Restructuring Charges,” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of our historical restructuring activities.

  Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
     Our selling, general and administrative expenses, or SG&A, amounted to $146.6 million, or 2.8% of net sales, during the three-month period ended June 29, 2007, compared to $119.1 million, or 2.9% of net sales, during the three-month period ended June 30, 2006. The increase in SG&A during the three-month period ended June 29, 2007 was attributable to our business and asset acquisitions during the 2007 fiscal year, continued investments in resources necessary to support our accelerating revenue growth as well as investments in certain technical capabilities to enhance our overall design and engineering competencies. The improvement in SG&A as a percentage of net sales during the three-month period ended June 29, 2007 was primarily attributable to higher net sales.
  Intangible Amortization
     Amortization of intangible assets during the three-month period ended June 29, 2007 increased by $9.5 million to $16.7 million from $7.2 million during the three-month period ended June 30, 2006. The increase in expense during the three-month period ended June 29, 2007 was attributable to the amortization of intangible assets acquired over the 12 months ended June 29, 2007, which were primarily related to our acquisitions of Nortel’s system house operations in Calgary, Canada, IDW and other smaller businesses that were not individually significant to our condensed consolidated results.
  Other Income, Net
     During the three-month period ended June 29, 2007 we recognized a gain of approximately $9.3 million in connection with the divestiture of a certain international entity, which was primarily related to the realization of cumulative foreign exchange translation gains.
  Interest and Other Expense, Net
     Interest and other expense, net was $15.6 million during the three-month period ended June 29, 2007 compared to $29.2 million during the three-month period ended June 30, 2006, a decrease of $13.6 million. The decrease in expense is primarily the result of interest and other income earned on our $250.0 million face value promissory note and certain other agreements received in connection with the divestiture of our Software Development and Solutions business during the second quarter of fiscal year 2007.
  Income Taxes
     Certain of our subsidiaries have, at various times, been granted tax relief in their respective countries, resulting in lower income taxes than would otherwise be the case under ordinary tax rates. Refer to Note 8, “Income Taxes,” of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 for further discussion.
     Our consolidated effective tax rate was an expense of 3.1% and 5.9% during the three-month periods ended June 29, 2007 and June 30, 2006, respectively.
     The consolidated effective tax rate for a particular period varies depending on the amount of earnings from different jurisdictions, operating loss carryforwards, income tax credits, changes in previously established valuation allowances for deferred tax assets based upon our current analysis of the realizability of these deferred tax assets, as well as certain tax holidays and incentives granted to our subsidiaries primarily in China, Hungary, and Malaysia.
     In evaluating the realizability of deferred tax assets, we consider our recent history of operating income and losses by jurisdiction, exclusive of items that we believe are non-recurring in nature such as restructuring charges. We also consider the future projected operating income in the relevant jurisdiction and the effect of any tax planning strategies. Based on this analysis, we believe that the current valuation allowance is adequate.
     In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”) as an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS 109”), which clarifies the

Table of Contents

accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized by prescribing a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, and also provides guidance on de-recognition of tax benefits previously recognized. We adopted FIN 48 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008.
     We did not recognize any adjustments to our liability for unrecognized tax benefits as a result of the implementation of FIN 48. As of April 1, 2007, we had approximately $66.0 million of unrecognized tax benefits, substantially all of which, if recognized, would affect our tax expense. Our unrecognized tax benefits are subject to change over the next twelve months primarily as a result of the expiration of certain statutes of limitations. Although the amount of these adjustments cannot be reasonably estimated at this time, we are not currently aware of any material impact on our condensed consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
     Discontinued Operations
     Consistent with our strategy to evaluate the strategic and financial contributions of each of our operations and to focus on the primary growth objectives in our core EMS vertically-integrated business activities, we divested our Software Development and Solutions business in September 2006. Additional information regarding our discontinued operations is provided in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Annual Report on our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007.
     In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS 144”), the divestiture of our Software Development and Solutions business qualifies as discontinued operations, and accordingly, we have reported the results of operations and financial position of this business in discontinued operations within the statements of operations for the three-month period ended June 30, 2006. As the divestiture of our Software Development and Solutions business was completed in September 2006, there were no results from discontinued operations for the three-month period ended June 29, 2007.
     The results from discontinued operations for the three-month period ended June 30, 2006 were as follows (in thousands):
         
Net sales
  $ 70,109  
Cost of sales
    43,536  
 
   
Gross profit

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES — CONTINUING AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
     As of June 29, 2007, we had cash and cash equivalents of $770.0 million and bank and other borrowings of $1.5 billion. As discussed in Note F, “Bank Borrowings and Long-Term Debt,” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, on May 10, 2007, we replaced our $1.35 billion revolving credit facility with a new $2.0 billion credit facility, under which we had no borrowings outstanding as of June 29, 2007. The $2.0 billion credit facility and our other various credit facilities are subject to compliance with certain financial covenants. As of June 29, 2007, we were in compliance with the financial covenants under our indentures and credit facilities. Working capital as of June 29, 2007 and March 31, 2007 was approximately $1.2 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively.
     Cash provided by operating activities amounted to $144.6 million during the three-month period ended June 29, 2007, as compared to cash used in operating activities of $97.9 million during the three-month period ended June 30, 2006.
     During the three-month period ended June 29, 2007, the following items generated cash from operating activities either directly or as a non-cash adjustment to net income:

net income of $106.9 million;
 
   
depreciation and amortization of $87.7 million;
 
   
non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $8.7 million;
 
   
a decrease in inventories of $48.6 million; and
 
   
an increase in accounts payable and other liabilities of $226.1 million.
     During the three-month period ended June 29, 2007, the following items reduced cash from operating activities either directly or as a non-cash adjustment to net income:
   
a gain associated with the divestiture of a certain international entity in the amount of $9.3 million;
 
   
an increase in accounts receivable of $179.5 million; and
 
   
an increase in other current and non-current assets of $136.2 million.
     The increases in our working capital accounts were due primarily to increased overall business activity and in anticipation of continued growth.
     During the three-month period ended June 30, 2006, the following items generated cash from operating activities either directly or as a non-cash adjustment to net income:
   
net income of $84.5 million;
 
   
depreciation and amortization of $81.1 million; and
 
   
an increase in accounts payables and other liabilities of $327.5 million.
     During the three-month period ended June 30, 2006, the following items reduced cash from operating activities either directly or as a non-cash adjustment to net income:
   
an increase in accounts receivable of $247.2 million;
 
   
an increase in inventories of $326.8 million; and
 
   
an increase in other current and non-current assets of $21.5 million.
     The increases in our working capital accounts were due primarily to increased overall business activity and in anticipation of continued growth in the September 2006 quarter.
     Cash used in investing activities amounted to $91.8 million and $167.6 million during the three-month periods ended June 29, 2007 and June 30, 2006, respectively.
     Cash used in investing activities during the three-month period ended June 29, 2007 primarily related to the following:
   
net capital expenditures of $71.9 million for the purchase of equipment and for the continued expansion of various low-cost, high-volume manufacturing facilities and industrial parks, as well as for the continued investment in our printed circuit board operations and components business; and
 
   
$25.4 million of miscellaneous investments primarily related to participation in our trade receivables securitization program.

Table of Contents

     Cash provided by investing activities during the three-month period ended June 29, 2007 primarily related to the following:
   
proceeds of $5.5 million from the divestiture of a certain international entity.
     Cash used in investing activities during the three-month period ended June 30, 2006 primarily related to the following:
   
net capital expenditures of $82.5 million for the purchase of equipment and for the continued expansion of various low-cost, high-volume manufacturing facilities and industrial parks, as well as for the continued investment in our printed circuit board operations and components business; and
 
   
payments for the acquisition of businesses of $90.9 million, including $70.2 million associated with our Nortel transaction, $15.7 million for additional shares purchased in Hughes Software Systems and $5.0 million for various other acquisitions of businesses, net of cash acquired, and contingent purchase price adjustments relating to certain historic acquisitions.
     Cash used in financing activities amounted to $2.2 million during the three-month period ended June 29, 2007, as compared to cash provided by financing activities of $215.7 million during the three-month period ended June 30, 2006.
     Cash used in financing activities during the three-month period ended June 29, 2007 primarily related to the following:
   
net repayment of bank borrowings and capital lease obligations amounting to $5.2 million.
     Cash provided by financing activities during the three-month period ended June 29, 2007 primarily related to the following:
   
$3.0 million of proceeds from the sale of ordinary shares under our employee stock plans.
     Cash provided by financing activities during the three-month period ended June 30, 2006 primarily related to the following:
   
net proceeds from bank borrowings and long-term debt of $212.7 million; and
 
   
$3.0 million of proceeds from the sale of ordinary shares under our employee stock plans.
     Our liquidity is affected by many factors, some of which are based on normal ongoing operations of our business and some of which arise from fluctuations related to global economics and markets. Our cash balances are generated and held in many locations throughout the world. Local government regulations may restrict our ability to move cash balances to meet cash needs under certain circumstances. We do not currently expect such regulations and restrictions to impact our ability to pay vendors and conduct operations throughout our global organization.
     Working capital requirements and capital expenditures could continue to increase in order to support future expansions of our operations. Future liquidity needs will also depend on fluctuations in levels of inventory, accounts receivable and accounts payable, the timing of capital expenditures for new equipment, the extent to which we utilize operating leases for new facilities and equipment, the extent of cash charges associated with any future restructuring activities and levels of shipments and changes in volumes of customer orders.
     Historically, we have funded our operations from cash and cash equivalents generated from operations, proceeds from public offerings of equity and debt securities, bank debt and lease financings. We also continuously sell a designated pool of trade receivables to a third-party qualified special purpose entity, which in turn sells an undivided ownership interest to a conduit, administered by an unaffiliated financial institution. In addition to this financial institution, we participate in the securitization agreement as an investor in the conduit.

Table of Contents

     We believe that our existing cash balances, together with anticipated cash flows from operations and borrowings available under our credit facilities, will be sufficient to fund our operations through at least the next twelve months.
     It is possible that future acquisitions may be significant and may require the payment of cash. For example, we estimate that our acquisition of Solectron could require up to approximately $1.9 billion for funding the cash portion of the merger consideration, including acquisition and financing related costs, assuming holders of 50% of Solectron’s outstanding shares elect to receive cash. Additionally, we expect to incur significant costs during the year commencing with the closing of the acquisition relating to restructuring and integration activities centered around global footprint rationalization and elimination of redundant assets or unnecessary functions, including retention bonuses, that may require material cash expenditures. We currently have a $2.0 billion credit facility, and simultaneous with execution of the merger agreement, the Company and Citigroup agreed to the terms of a commitment letter pursuant to which Citigroup has committed to provide Flextronics with a seven-year, senior unsecured term loan facility of up to $2.5 billion to fund the cash requirements for the transaction, including the repurchase or refinancing of Solectron’s debt, if required. We anticipate that we will enter into debt and equity financings, sales of accounts receivable and lease transactions to fund other acquisitions and anticipated growth. The sale or issuance of equity or convertible debt securities could result in dilution to our current shareholders. Further, we may issue debt securities that have rights and privileges senior to those of holders of our ordinary shares, and the terms of this debt could impose restrictions on our operations and could increase our debt service obligations. Following the acquisition of Solectron, the combined company is expected to have approximately $3.3 billion to $4.0 billion in total debt outstanding, and a higher debt to capital ratio than that of the Company on a stand-alone basis. This increased indebtedness could limit the combined company’s flexibility as a result of debt service requirements and restrictive covenants, potentially affect our credit ratings, and may limit the combined company’s ability to access additional capital or execute its business strategy. Any downgrades in our credit ratings could adversely affect our ability to borrow by resulting in more restrictive borrowing terms. We continue to assess our capital structure, and evaluate the merits of redeploying available cash to reduce existing debt or repurchase our ordinary shares.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND COMMITMENTS
     Information regarding our long-term debt payments, operating lease payments, capital lease payments and other commitments is provided in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Annual Report on our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007. There have been no material changes in our contractual obligations since March 31, 2007.
     We adopted FIN 48 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008 and did not recognize any adjustments to our liability for unrecognized tax benefits as a result of the implementation of FIN 48. As of April 1, 2007, we had approximately $66.0 million of unrecognized tax benefits, substantially all of which, if recognized, would affect our tax expense. These unrecognized tax benefits were not included in our discussion of contractual obligations as of March 31, 2007. Our unrecognized tax benefits are subject to change over the next twelve months primarily as a result of the expiration of certain statutes of limitations. Although the amount of these adjustments, or amount and timing of related payments cannot be reasonably estimated at this time, we are not currently aware of any material impact on our condensed consolidated results of operations and financial condition. As of June 29, 2007, approximately $65.0 million of these unrecognized tax benefits were classified as long-term.
     Information regarding our other financial commitments as of June 29, 2007 is provided in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements — Note F, “Bank Borrowings and Long-Term Debt” and Note H, “Trade Receivables Securitization.”
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
     There were no material changes in our exposure to market risk for changes in interest and foreign currency exchange rates for the three-month period ended June 29, 2007 as compared to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007.
     We have a portfolio of fixed and variable rate debt. Our variable rate debt instruments create exposures for us related to interest rate risk. A hypothetical 10% change in interest rates from those as of June 29, 2007 would not

34


Table of Contents

have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows over the next twelve months.
     We transact business in various foreign countries and are, therefore, subject to risk of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. We have established a foreign currency risk management policy to manage this risk. Based on our overall currency rate exposures, including derivative financial instruments and nonfunctional currency-denominated receivables and payables, a near-term 10% appreciation or depreciation of the U.S. dollar from its cross-functional rates as of June 29, 2007 would not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows over the next twelve months.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
     Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of June 29, 2007, the end of the quarterly fiscal period covered by this quarterly report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 29, 2007, such disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
     There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our first quarter of fiscal year 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
     We are subject to legal proceedings, claims, and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. We defend ourselves vigorously against any such claims. Although the outcome of these matters is currently not determinable, management does not expect that the ultimate costs to resolve these matters will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
     In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2007, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be not material also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. In connection with our pending acquisition of Solectron, we are subject to the following risks relating to the merger:
Flextronics and Solectron may be unable to obtain the regulatory approvals required to complete the merger; delays or restrictions imposed by competition authorities could harm the combined company’s operations.
     Flextronics and Solectron may be unable to obtain the regulatory approvals required to complete the transaction in the time period forecasted, if at all. In order to complete the merger, Flextronics and Solectron must notify, furnish information to, and, where applicable, obtain clearance from competition authorities in Brazil, Canada, China, the European Commission, Mexico, Turkey and Ukraine. Flextronics and Solectron will also notify and

35


Table of Contents

furnish information to, on a voluntary basis, the competition authorities in Singapore. The merger is also subject to U.S. antitrust laws and, as such, is subject to review by the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice, or the DOJ, and the Federal Trade Commission, or the FTC, under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, or the HSR Act. Flextronics and Solectron made their filings under the HSR Act on June 14, 2007, and have made the necessary filings or requests with competition authorities in Brazil on June 26, 2007, in Canada on July 6, 2007, in China on July 19, 2007, in Mexico on July 6, 2007, in Turkey on July 3, 2007 and in Ukraine on July 6, 2007. Flextronics and Solectron expect to file voluntary notification of the merger in Singapore in early-August 2007. Pursuant to a request for early termination, the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act was terminated on July 16, 2007. In addition, Canadian competition authorities cleared the transaction on July 30, 2007 and Ukrainian competition authorities cleared the transaction on August 3, 2007. Reviewing agencies or governments or private persons may challenge the merger under antitrust or similar laws at any time before or after its completion. Any resulting delay in the completion of the merger could diminish the anticipated benefits of the merger or result in additional transaction costs, loss of revenue or other effects associated with uncertainty about the transaction.
     The reviewing authorities may not permit the merger at all or may impose restrictions or conditions on the merger that may seriously harm the combined company if the merger is completed. These conditions could include a complete or partial license, divestiture, spin-off or the holding separate of assets or businesses. Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, Flextronics is not required to agree to any divestiture of any shares of capital stock or of any business, assets or properties of Flextronics or its subsidiaries or affiliates (including Solectron or its subsidiaries) that will have or would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the benefits expected to be derived from the merger. In addition, Flextronics may refuse to complete the merger if governmental authorities impose any material restrictions or limitations on Flextronics, Solectron or their respective subsidiaries and their ability to conduct their respective businesses that will have or would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the benefits expected to be derived from the merger. Flextronics and Solectron also may agree to restrictions or conditions imposed by antitrust authorities in order to obtain regulatory approval, and these restrictions or conditions could harm the combined company’s operations.
Any delay in completing the merger may significantly reduce the benefits expected to be obtained from the merger.
     In addition to receipt of required regulatory clearances and approvals, the merger is subject to a number of other conditions beyond the control of Flextronics and Solectron that may prevent, delay or otherwise materially adversely affect its completion. Flextronics and Solectron cannot predict whether and when these other conditions will be satisfied. Further, the requirements for obtaining the required clearances and approvals could delay the completion of the merger for a significant period of time or prevent it from occurring. Any delay in completing the merger may affect the ability of Flextronics and Solectron to achieve the synergies and other benefits they expect to achieve from the merger within the forecasted timeframe.
Failure to complete the merger could materially and adversely affect Flextronics’s results of operations and stock price.
     Consummation of the merger is subject to customary closing conditions, including obtaining the approval of Solectron’s stockholders and Flextronics shareholders to proposals that are described in the joint proxy statement/prospectus that forms part of the Company’s registration statement on Form S-4 that was filed with the SEC on August 7, 2007. There can be no assurance that these conditions will be met or waived, that the necessary approvals will be obtained, or that Flextronics and Solectron will be able to successfully consummate the merger as currently contemplated under the merger agreement or at all. In addition, on June 4, 2007, a purported class action complaint was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Santa Clara, alleging breach of fiduciary duty by the directors of Solectron and seeking to enjoin the merger. While this case is in the early stages, Solectron believes that it is without merit. Any judgments, however, in respect of this or similar lawsuits that are adverse to Flextronics and Solectron may adversely affect their ability to consummate the merger.
     If the merger is not consummated:

36


Table of Contents

Flextronics will remain liable for significant transaction costs, including legal, accounting, financial advisory and other costs relating to the merger;
under specified circumstances, Flextronics may have to pay a termination fee in the amount of $100.0 million to Solectron;
any operational investments that Flextronics may delay due to the pending transaction would need to be made, potentially on an accelerated timeframe, which could then prove costly and more difficult to implement; and
the market price of Flextronics ordinary shares may decline to the extent that the current market price reflects a belief by investors that the merger will be completed.
     Additionally, the announcement of the pending merger may lead to uncertainty for Flextronics and Solectron’s employees and some of Flextronics and Solectron’s customers and suppliers.
     This uncertainty may mean:
the attention of Flextronics’s management and employees may be diverted from day-to-day operations;
Flextronics’s and Solectron’s customers and suppliers may seek to modify or terminate existing agreements, or prospective customers may delay entering into new agreements or purchasing Solectron’s products as a result of the announcement of the merger; and
Flextronics’s and Solectron’s ability to attract new employees and retain existing employees may be harmed by uncertainties associated with the merger.
     The occurrence of any of these events individually or in combination could materially and adversely affect Flextronics’s and Solectron’s results of operations and their respective stock prices.
The termination fee contained in the merger agreement may discourage other companies from trying to acquire Flextronics.
     Flextronics has agreed to pay a termination fee in the amount of $100.0 million to Solectron in connection with a third-party acquisition of Flextronics under specified circumstances. This termination fee could discourage other companies from trying to acquire Flextronics prior to consummation of the merger, even though those other companies might be willing to offer greater value to Flextronics shareholders than Flextronics could realize through effecting the merger.
Flextronics and Solectron are subject to contractual obligations while the merger is pending that could restrict the manner in which they operate their respective businesses.
     The merger agreement restricts Solectron from making certain acquisitions and taking other specified actions without the consent of Flextronics until the merger occurs. The merger agreement also restricts Flextronics from taking certain specified actions without the consent of Solectron until the merger occurs. These restrictions may prevent Flextronics and/or Solectron from pursuing business opportunities that may arise prior to the completion of the merger.
The failure of Solectron to obtain certain consents related to the merger could give third parties the right to terminate or alter existing contracts, declare a default under existing contracts, or otherwise result in liabilities of the combined company to third parties.
     Certain agreements between Solectron and its lenders, suppliers, customers or other business partners require the consent or approval of these other parties in connection with the merger. Solectron has agreed to use reasonable best efforts to secure any necessary consents and approvals requested by Flextronics. However, Solectron may not be successful in obtaining all necessary consents or approvals, or if the necessary consents are obtained, they may not

37


Table of Contents

be obtained on favorable terms. If these consents and approvals are not obtained, the failure to have obtained such consents or approvals could give third parties the right to terminate or alter existing contracts, declare a default under existing contracts, demand payment on outstanding obligations or result in some other liability of the combined company to such third parties, which in each instance could have a material adverse effect on the business and financial condition of the combined company after the merger.
Flextronics and Solectron expect to incur significant costs associated with the merger.
     Flextronics and Solectron expect to incur significant costs associated with completing the merger. Flextronics believes that it may incur charges to operations, which are not currently reasonably estimable, in the quarter in which the merger is completed or the following quarters, to reflect costs associated with integrating the businesses and operations of Flextronics and Solectron. There can be no assurance that Flextronics will not incur additional charges in subsequent quarters to reflect additional costs associated with the merger.
Flextronics may not realize the expected benefits of the merger due to difficulties integrating the businesses, operations and product lines of Flextronics and Solectron.
     Flextronics believes that the acquisition of Solectron will result in certain benefits, including certain cost and operating synergies and operational efficiencies. However, Flextronics’s ability to realize these anticipated benefits will depend on a successful combination of the businesses of Flextronics and Solectron. The integration process will be complex, time-consuming and expensive and could disrupt Flextronics’s business if not completed in a timely and efficient manner. The combined company may not realize the expected benefits of the merger for a variety of reasons, including but not limited to the following:
failure to demonstrate to Flextronics’s and Solectron’s customers and suppliers that the merger will not result in adverse changes in client service standards or business focus;
difficulties integrating IT and financial reporting systems;
failure to rationalize and integrate facilities quickly and effectively;
loss of key employees during the transition and integration periods;
revenue attrition in excess of anticipated levels; and
failure to leverage the increased scale of the combined company quickly and effectively.
Uncertainties associated with the merger may cause a loss of employees and may otherwise materially adversely affect the businesses of Flextronics and Solectron, and the future business and operations of the combined company.
     The combined company’s success after the merger will depend in part upon the ability of the combined company to retain key employees of Flextronics and Solectron. Current and prospective employees of Flextronics and Solectron may be uncertain about their roles with the combined company following the merger, which may have a material adverse affect on the ability of each of Flextronics and Solectron to attract and retain key management, sales, marketing, technical and other personnel. In addition, key employees may depart because of issues relating to the uncertainty and difficulty of integration or a desire not to remain with the combined company following the merger. The loss of services of any key personnel or the inability to hire new personnel with the requisite skills could restrict the ability of the combined company to develop new products or enhance existing products in a timely matter, to sell products to customers or to manage the business of the combined company effectively.
The combined company’s increased debt may create limitations.
     Flextronics estimates that it will require up to approximately $1.9 billion to pay the cash portion of the merger consideration, including acquisition and financing related costs, assuming holders of 50% of Solectron’s outstanding shares elect to receive cash or approximately $700 million less if holders of 30% of Solectron’s outstanding shares

38


Table of Contents

elect to receive cash. In addition, upon consummation of the merger, the surviving corporation will be required to offer to repurchase Solectron’s outstanding $150 million in 8.00% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2016 and $450 million in 0.5% Convertible Senior Notes due 2034 at a price of 101% and 100%, respectively, of the principal amount of the notes outstanding, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but excluding, the date of repurchase. Following the acquisition, the combined company is expected to have approximately $3.3 billion (assuming 70% of Solectron’s outstanding shares elect to receive Flextronics ordinary shares) to $4.0 billion (assuming 50% of Solectron’s outstanding shares elect to receive cash) in total debt outstanding, and a higher debt to capital ratio than that of Flextronics on a stand-alone basis. This increased indebtedness could limit the combined company’s flexibility as a result of debt service requirements and restrictive covenants, and may limit the combined company’s ability to access additional capital or execute its business strategy.
The combined company may take substantial restructuring charges in connection with the merger, which may have a material adverse impact on operating results.
     As part of combining the two companies, Flextronics expects to incur significant restructuring costs during the year commencing with the closing of the acquisition. The financial results of the combined company may be adversely affected by cash expenditures and non-cash charges incurred in connection with the restructuring and integration activities. These costs relate to restructuring and integration activities centered around the global footprint rationalization and elimination of redundant assets or unnecessary functions and include retention bonuses, the amounts of which cannot be currently estimated as management of Flextronics has not yet determined all of the restructuring activities. Certain liabilities associated with these restructuring activities will be recorded as liabilities assumed from Solectron, with a corresponding increase in goodwill and no impact on operating results. Further, Flextronics and Solectron have historically recognized substantial restructuring and other charges resulting from reduced workforce and capacity at higher-cost locations, and the consolidation and closure of several manufacturing facilities, including related impairment of certain long-lived assets. If the combined company is required to take additional restructuring charges in the future, it could have a material adverse impact on operating results, financial position and the cash flows of the combined company.
