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.
One Marina Boulevard, #28-00
Singapore, 018989
     We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Flextronics International Ltd. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of September 28, 2007, and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended September 28, 2007 and September 29, 2006, and of cash flows for the six-month periods ended September 28, 2007 and September 29, 2006. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.
     We conducted our reviews in accordance with the 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 the 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 reviews, 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.
     As more fully described in Note 13, “Subsequent Events,” on October 1, 2007, the Company completed the acquisition of Solectron Corporation.
     We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Flextronics International, Ltd. and subsidiaries 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)
1. 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 11, “Acquisitions and Divestitures” and Note 12, “Discontinued Operations” for further details.
     On October 1, 2007, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding common stock of Solectron Corporation (“Solectron”), pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of June 4, 2007, in a cash and stock transaction valued at an estimated $3.6 billion, including estimated transaction costs. Refer to the discussion of the Company’s acquisition of Solectron in Note 13, “Subsequent Events.”
2. 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 Rule 10-01 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 and six-month periods ended September 28, 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.

    Accounting for Business and Asset Acquisitions
     The Company has actively pursued business and asset acquisitions, which are accounted for using the purchase method of accounting in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations (“SFAS 141”). 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. 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.
    Goodwill and Other Intangibles
     The following table summarizes the activity in the Company’s goodwill account during the six-month period ended September 28, 2007:

(1)  
Includes adjustments and reclassifications resulting from management’s 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 $14.1 million was attributable to the Company’s November 2006 acquisition of International DisplayWorks, Inc. (“IDW”). The remaining amount was primarily attributable to other purchase accounting adjustments and divestitures that were not individually significant to the Company. Refer to the discussion of the Company’s acquisitions in Note 11, “Acquisitions and Divestitures.”
     During the six-month period ended September 28, 2007, there were approximately $43.7 million of additions to intangible assets related to customer-related intangibles and approximately $15.5 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

    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.
     As of September 28, 2007 and March 31, 2007, the Company’s investments in non-majority owned companies totaled $246.3 million and $250.5 million, respectively, of which $117.2 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 and six-month periods ended September 28, 2007 and September 29, 2006, and has been classified as a component of interest and other expense, net in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. As of September 28, 2007 and March 31, 2007, notes receivable from non-majority owned investments totaled $365.0 million and $343.9 million, respectively, of which $126.9 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 7, “Trade Receivables Securitization.”
    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

Table of Contents

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 September 28, 2007, the Company had approximately $66.6 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.
3. 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 September 28, 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. On September 27, 2007, the Company’s shareholders approved: i) an increase in the shares available under its 2001 Equity Incentive Plan by 10.0 million ordinary shares to 42.0 million ordinary shares, and ii) a 5.0 million increase in the amount of such ordinary shares that may be issued as share bonus awards to 15.0 million ordinary shares. 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.

     As of September 28, 2007, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options granted to employees under the Company’s equity compensation plans was approximately $54.2 million, net of estimated forfeitures of $4.0 million. This cost will be amortized on a straight-line basis over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.8 years, and will be adjusted for subsequent changes in estimated forfeitures. As of September 28, 2007, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested share bonus awards granted to employees under the Company’s equity compensation plans was approximately $79.3 million, net of estimated forfeitures of approximately $3.8 million. This cost will be amortized generally on a straight-line basis over a weighted-average period of approximately 3.6 years, and will be adjusted for subsequent changes in estimated forfeitures.
    Determining Fair Value
     The fair value of options granted to employees under the Company’s equity compensation plans during the three-month and six-month periods ended September 28, 2007 and September 29, 2006 was estimated using the following weighted-average assumptions:

     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 $4.1 million and $5.6 million during the three-month and six-month periods ended September 28, 2007, respectively, and $4.2 million and $6.9 million during the three-month and six-month periods ended September 29, 2006, respectively.
     Cash received from option exercises under all equity compensation plans was $7.0 million and $10.0 million for the three-month and six-month periods ended September 28, 2007, respectively, and $6.1 million and $9.1 million for the three-month and six-month periods ended September 29, 2006, respectively.

     Of the 5.7 million unvested share bonus awards granted under the Company’s equity compensation plans during the six-month period ended September 28, 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 $3.2 million and $12.7 million during the three-month and six-month periods ended September 28, 2007, respectively, and $2.9 million and $3.0 million during the three-month and six-month periods ended September 29, 2006, respectively.

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. Ordinary share equivalents from the conversion spread have been included as common stock equivalents for all periods presented.
 
   
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. As the conversion obligation was less than the principal portion of the Convertible Notes for all periods presented, no additional shares were included as ordinary share equivalents.

6. BANK BORROWINGS AND LONG-TERM DEBT
     On May 10, 2007, the Company entered into a new five-year $2.0 billion credit facility that expires in May 2012, which replaced the Company’s $1.35 billion credit facility previously existing as of March 31, 2007. As of September 28, 2007 and March 31, 2007, there were no borrowings outstanding under the $2.0 billion or $1.35 billion credit facilities, respectively. 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 September 28, 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 $5.9 million and $8.1 million of borrowings outstanding as of September 28, 2007 and March 31, 2007, respectively. These credit facilities are unsecured and require the Company to maintain a maximum ratio of total indebtedness to EBITDA, and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, as defined, during their term. As of September 28, 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.
7. TRADE RECEIVABLES SECURITIZATION
     As of September 28, 2007 and March 31, 2007, approximately $573.8 million and $427.7 million of the Company’s accounts receivable, respectively, had been sold to a third-party qualified special purpose entity, 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 $419.5 million and $334.0 million from unaffiliated financial institutions for the sale of these receivables as of September 28, 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 $154.3 million and $93.7 million as of September 28, 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 $416.7 million and $398.7 million as of September 28, 2007 and March 31, 2007, respectively.

8. 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 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 September 28, 2007 and March 31, 2007, assets that were no longer in use and held for sale as a result of restructuring activities totaled approximately $16.0 million and $24.2 million, respectively, primarily representing manufacturing facilities located in North America 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 six-month period ended September 28, 2007 for employee termination costs associated with the involuntary termination of 173 identified employees in Europe. The activities associated with these charges will be substantially completed within one year of the commitment dates of the respective activities. The Company classified approximately $9.8 million of these charges as a component of cost of sales during the six-month period ended September 28, 2007.

     For further discussion of the Company’s historical restructuring activities, refer to Note 10, “Restructuring Charges” to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007.
9. OTHER INCOME, NET
     During the six-month period ended September 28, 2007, the Company recognized a gain of approximately $9.3 million primarily related to the release of cumulative foreign exchange translation gains in connection with the divestiture of a certain international entity. The results of operations of this entity were not significant for any period presented.
10. 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.
11. ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES
    Acquisitions
     The business and asset acquisitions described below were accounted for using the purchase method of accounting pursuant to SFAS 141, 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 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.

Table of Contents

     The aggregate purchase price for the assets acquired was approximately $594.4 million, net of closing costs. Approximately $138.5 million was paid during the six-month period ended September 29, 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 eight 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 management’s estimate of cash flow and recoverability. As of September 28, 2007, management estimates the allocation to be approximately $105.4 million to current assets, primarily comprised of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts receivable and inventory, approximately $32.8 million to fixed assets and other assets, approximately $31.3 million to identifiable intangible assets, primarily related to customer relationships and contractual agreements with weighted-average useful lives of 8 years, approximately $194.8 million to goodwill, and approximately $64.7 million to assumed liabilities, primarily accounts payable and other current liabilities. The allocation of the purchase price to specific assets and liabilities is subject to final purchase price adjustments.
    Other Acquisitions
     During the six-month period ended September 28, 2007, 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 capabilities for the automotive market segment. The aggregate purchase price for this acquisition was not material. In addition, the Company paid approximately $8.9 million in cash for contingent purchase price adjustments relating to certain historical acquisitions. 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 fiscal year 2009. Generally, the contingent consideration has not been recorded as part of the purchase price, pending the outcome of the contingency.
     During the six-month period ended September 29, 2006, the Company completed three acquisitions that were not individually, or in the aggregate, significant to the Company’s condensed consolidated results for continuing operations and financial position. The acquired businesses complement the Company’s design and manufacturing services across multiple product offerings. The aggregate purchase price for these acquisitions totaled approximately $101.5 million, of which $85.6 million was paid in the six-month period ended September 29, 2006. The Company also paid $18.1 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.
     Pro forma results for the Company’s acquisitions of Nortel’s operations in Calgary, Canada, IDW, and its other acquisitions have not been presented for the three-month and six-month periods ended September 28, 2007 and September 29, 2006 as such results were not materially different from the Company’s actual results on either an individual or an aggregate basis.

     Divestitures
     In September 2006, the Company completed the sale of its Software Development and Solutions business to Software Development Group (now known as “Aricent”), an affiliate of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. The divestiture resulted in a gain of approximately $171.2 million, net of $10.0 million of estimated tax on the sale, which is included in income from discontinued operations in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended September 29, 2006.
12. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
     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 Company’s Software Development and Solutions business during the September 2006 quarter 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 and six-month periods ended September 29, 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 and six-month periods ended September 28, 2007, or assets or liabilities attributable to discontinued operations as of September 28, 2007 or March 31, 2007.

13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
    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 agreed to acquire Solectron in a cash and stock transaction. On October 1, 2007, the Company completed its acquisition of 100% of the outstanding common stock of Solectron, a provider of value-added electronics manufacturing and supply chain services to OEMs.
     The results of Solectron’s operations will be included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial results beginning on October 1, 2007, the acquisition date.
     The Company issued approximately 221.8 million of its ordinary shares and paid approximately $1.1 billion in cash pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. The Company also assumed the Solectron Corporation 2002

18


Table of Contents

Stock Plan, including all options to purchase Solectron common stock with an exercise price equal to or less than $5.00 per share of Solectron common stock outstanding under such plan. Each option assumed was converted into an option to acquire the Company’s ordinary share after applying the 0.3450 exchange ratio. As a result, the Company assumed approximately 7.4 million fully vested and unvested options to acquire the Company’s ordinary shares with exercise prices ranging between $5.45 and $14.41 per Flextronics ordinary share. Further, there are approximately 19.4 million additional shares available for grant under the Solectron Corporation 2002 Stock Plan.
     Pursuant to the purchase method of accounting, the fair value of each Flextronics ordinary share issued was $11.36, which is based on an average of the Company’s closing share prices for the five trading days beginning two trading days before and ending two trading days after September 27, 2007, the date on which the number of the Company’s ordinary shares to be issued was known. The fair value of options assumed was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing formula.
     The estimated total purchase price for the acquisition is as follows:
         
    (In thousands)    
Fair value of Flextronics ordinary shares issued
    $  2,520,557

Direct transaction costs consist of estimated legal, accounting, financial advisory and other costs relating to the acquisition.
     The allocation of the purchase price to Solectron’s tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed is subject to completion of a formal valuation process and review by management, which has not yet been completed because such amounts cannot be estimated at this time.
     Acquisition Related Debt
     In connection with the acquisition, the Company entered into a $1.759 billion term loan facility, dated as of October 1, 2007 (the “Term Loan Agreement”). The term loan facility was provided for the purposes of consummating the acquisition, to pay the applicable repurchase or redemption price for Solectron’s 8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2016 and 0.5% Senior Convertible Notes due 2034 assumed by the Company in connection with the acquisition (the “Solectron Notes”), and to pay any related fees and expenses including acquisition-related costs.
     On October 1, 2007, the Company borrowed $1.109 billion under the facility to pay the cash consideration in the acquisition and acquisition related fees and expenses. Of this amount, $500.0 million matures five years from the date of the Term Loan Agreement and the remainder matures in seven years. The remaining $650.0 million of the term loan facility is available for 90 days from closing and may be drawn on up to three occasions (the “Delayed Draw Facility”). The maturity date of any Delayed Draw Facility loans will be seven years from the date of the Term Loan Agreement. Loans will amortize in quarterly installments in an amount equal to 1% per annum with the balance due at the end of the fifth or seventh year, as applicable. The Company may prepay the loans at any time at 100% of par for any loan with a five year maturity and at 101% of par for the first year and 100% of par thereafter, for any loan with a seven year maturity, in each case plus accrued and unpaid interest and reimbursement of the lender’s redeployment costs.
     Borrowings under the Term Loan Agreement bear interest, at the Company’s option, either at (i) the base rate (the greater of the agent’s prime rate or the federal funds rate plus 0.50%) plus a margin of 1.25%; or (ii) LIBOR plus a margin of 2.25%. In addition, during the period that the Delayed Draw Facility is available, the Company is required to pay a quarterly commitment fee ranging from 0.25% to 0.50% per annum on the unutilized portion of the Delayed Draw Facility, depending on the date of determination.
     The Term Loan Agreement is unsecured, and contains customary restrictions on the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to (i) incur certain debt, (ii) make certain investments, (iii) make certain acquisitions of other entities,

19


Table of Contents

(iv) incur liens, (v) dispose of assets, (vi) make non-cash distributions to shareholders, and (vii) engage in transactions with affiliates. These covenants are subject to a number of significant exceptions and limitations. The Term Loan Agreement also requires that the Company maintain a maximum ratio of total indebtedness to EBITDA, during the term of the Term Loan Agreement. Borrowings under the Term Loan Agreement are guaranteed by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries.
     On October 1, 2007, Flextronics commenced a change in control repurchase offer, as required by the 8% Notes Indenture, pursuant to which Flextronics offered to repurchase any and all of the $150.0 million principal amount of the 8% Notes outstanding at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Any 8% Notes tendered pursuant to the repurchase offer were to be repurchased on October 31, 2007. Separately, Flextronics notified holders of the outstanding 8% Notes that it was exercising its right to redeem the 8% Notes prior to maturity pursuant to the optional redemption procedures provided for under the 8% Notes Indenture. Any 8% Notes that were not repurchased pursuant to the change in control repurchase offer were to be redeemed on October 31, 2007 at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the 8% Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, and (ii) the make-whole premium provided for under the 8% Notes Indenture, plus, to the extent not included in the make-whole premium, accrued and unpaid interest. On October 31, 2007, $1.5 million of the 8% Notes were repurchased pursuant to the repurchase offer and $148.5 million of the 8% Notes were redeemed by the Company for an aggregate repurchase and redemption price of approximately $171.6 million. As indicated above, the Delayed Draw Facility provides for up to $650.0 million to repurchase or redeem the Solectron Notes and for related expenses. On October 15, 2007, the Company borrowed $175.0 million under the Delayed Draw Facility.
     On October 31, 2007, Flextronics commenced change in control repurchase offers, as required by the Convertible Notes Indentures, pursuant to which the Company offered to repurchase any and all of the $450.0 million principal amount of Convertible Notes outstanding at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of repurchase. The Company expects to repurchase the Convertible Notes tendered pursuant to these repurchase offers on December 14, 2007.
     Restructuring Charges
     On November 2, 2007, executive management of the Company committed to various restructuring activities to be undertaken in connection with the Company’s acquisition of Solectron. The costs associated with the restructuring and integration activities are related to operations that were associated with the Company prior to its acquisition of Solectron, and are centered on the global footprint rationalization and elimination of redundant assets or unnecessary functions resulting from the combination of the two companies.
     Total restructuring charges are estimated to range between $430.0 million and $500.0 million and are expected to be recognized during the next 12 months. The associated restructuring activities encompass over twenty five different manufacturing locations and are focused on reducing excess workforce and capacity, consolidating and relocating certain manufacturing facilities, and certain other administrative consolidations. These restructuring activities involve multiple actions at each location and will be completed in multiple steps, some of which are underway and others of which will commence shortly. The estimated restructuring charges are comprised of the following items:
                 
    (In thousands)    
Employee related
    $  110,000         $  135,000    
Contractual obligations
    95,000         105,000    
Asset impairment
    220,000         250,000    
Other exit costs
    5,000         10,000    
 
               
Total estimated restructuring charges
    $  430,000         $  500,000    
 
               
     The employee related costs are primarily attributable to cash employee termination costs associated with the involuntary terminations of approximately 7,000 identified employees in connection with the various facility closures and consolidations, and are expected to be paid within approximately one year.
     Contractual obligations costs are primarily comprised of charges associated with facility lease termination costs, equipment lease termination costs and certain other contractual commitments. Of the total charges associated with

20


Table of Contents

contractual obligations, approximately $65.0 million to $85.0 million is expected to be paid in cash within approximately one year. The facility closures and activities to which all of these charges relate are expected to be completed within one year, except for certain long-term contractual obligations.
     The non-cash asset impairment charges are primarily associated with the write-down of property, plant and equipment. All associated asset impairments reflect the write-down to management’s estimate of fair value.
     Deferred Tax Assets
     In connection with the Company’s acquisition of Solectron, the Company also re-evaluated previously recorded deferred tax assets in the United States, which are primarily comprised of tax loss carry forwards. Management believes that the likelihood that certain deferred tax assets will be realized has decreased because the Company expects future projected taxable income in the United States will be lower as a result of increased interest expense resulting from the term loan entered into as part of the acquisition of Solectron. Accordingly, the Company expects to recognize tax expense of approximately $640.0 million to $650.0 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2007. There is no incremental cash expenditure relating to this increase in tax expense.

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 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 $5.6 billion and $10.7 billion during the three-month and six-month periods ended September 28, 2007, respectively, and $18.9 billion during fiscal year 2007. As of March 31, 2007, 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 six-month period ended September 28, 2007, net sales from continuing operations in Asia, the Americas and Europe represented approximately 61%, 23% and 16%, respectively, of total net sales from continuing operations.
     We believe that the combination of 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 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 has escalated as an increasing number of OEMs have outsourced some or all of their design and manufacturing requirements. Price pressure on 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 global capacity and infrastructure with the demands of customers to optimize the operating efficiencies that can be provided by a global presence. These realignments have shifted manufacturing capacity to locations with higher efficiencies and, in most instances, lower costs, thereby enhancing our ability to provide cost-effective manufacturing services and have allowed us to retain and expand

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 global capacity and infrastructure.
     Our operating results are affected by a number of factors, including the following:
     
integration of acquired businesses and facilities;
 
     
our customers may not be successful in marketing their products, their products may not gain widespread commercial acceptance, and their products have short product life cycles;
 
     
our customers may cancel or delay orders or change production quantities;
 
     
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 manufacturing capacity, seasonal demand, shortages of components and other factors;
 
     
our increased design services and components offerings may reduce 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 OEM customers; and
 
     
managing growth and changes in operations.
    Solectron Acquisition
     We have actively pursued acquisitions and purchases of manufacturing facilities, design and engineering resources and technologies in order to expand worldwide operations, broaden service offerings, diversify and strengthen customer relationships, and enhance our competitive position as a leading provider of comprehensive outsourcing solutions. On October 1, 2007, we completed the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding common stock of Solectron Corporation (“Solectron”) in a stock and cash transaction valued at approximately $3.6 billion. In connection with the acquisition, we issued approximately 221.8 million of the Company’s ordinary shares, paid approximately $1.1 billion in cash and entered into a $1.759 billion term loan facility to finance the cash portion of the acquisition including related fees and expenses, and to refinance certain of Solectron’s outstanding debt assumed in the acquisition. As a result of the acquisition, we expect to incur restructuring charges ranging between $430.0 million and $500.0 million associated with integration and restructuring activities related to operations that were associated with the Company prior to its acquisition of Solectron, and tax expense of approximately $640.0 million to $650.0 million from the re-evaluation of previously recorded deferred tax assets in the United States. Refer to Note 13, “Subsequent Events” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.
     The results of Solectron’s operations will be included in our consolidated financial results beginning October 1, 2007.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
     We believe the following accounting policy, which was identified as critical as a result of the acquisition of Solectron, together with those discussed under Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
    Accounting for Business and Asset Acquisitions
     We have actively pursued business and asset acquisitions, which are accounted for using the purchase method of accounting in accordance with Statement of SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations (“SFAS 141”). The fair value of the net assets acquired and the results of the acquired businesses are included in the Condensed Consolidated

23


Table of Contents

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.
     We estimate the preliminary fair value of acquired assets and liabilities as of the date of acquisition based on information available at that time. 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.

    Net Sales
     Net sales during the three-month period ended September 28, 2007 totaled $5.6 billion, representing an increase of $0.9 billion, or 18.2%, from $4.7 billion during the three-month period ended September 29, 2006, primarily due to new program wins from various customers across multiple markets. Sales increased across the following markets we serve; (i) $389.5 million in the telecommunications infrastructure market, (ii) $193.4 million in the computing market, (iii) $136.8 million in the industrial, medical, automotive and other markets, (iv) $99.6 million in the consumer digital market, and (v) $35.5 million in the mobile communications market. Net sales during the three-month period ended September 28, 2007 increased by $475.4 million, $217.1 million and $162.3 million in Asia, the Americas and Europe, respectively.

Table of Contents

     Net sales during the six-month period ended September 28, 2007 totaled $10.7 billion, representing an increase of $2.0 billion, or 22.3%, from $8.8 billion during the six-month period ended September 29, 2006, primarily due to new program wins from various customers across multiple markets. Sales increased across the following markets we serve; (i) $827.3 million in the telecommunications infrastructure market, (ii) $417.9 million in the mobile communications market, (iii) $297.6 million in the industrial, medical, automotive and other markets, (iv) $283.2 million in the consumer digital market, and (v) $126.6 million in the computing market. Net sales during the six-month period ended September 28, 2007 increased by $1.1 billion, $582.5 million and $231.5 million in Asia, the Americas and Europe, respectively.
     Our ten largest customers during the three-month and six-month periods ended September 28, 2007 accounted for approximately 60% and 61% of net sales, respectively, with Sony-Ericsson accounting for greater than 10% of net sales for both periods. Our ten largest customers during the three-month and six-month periods ended September 29, 2006 accounted for approximately 68% and 67% of net sales, respectively, with Hewlett-Packard and Sony-Ericsson each accounting for greater than 10% of net sales for both periods.
    Gross Profit
     Gross profit during the three-month period ended September 28, 2007 increased $135.4 million to $313.8 million, or 5.6% of net sales, from $178.4 million, or 3.8% of net sales, during the three-month period ended September 29, 2006. The 180 basis point period-over-period improvement in gross margin was attributable to a 200 basis points decrease in restructuring and other charges recognized during the three-month period ended September 29, 2006, offset by a 20 basis point increase in cost of sales during the three-month period ended September 28, 2007 related to a change in customer and product mix, and higher start-up and integration costs associated with multiple new large scale programs.
     Gross profit during the six-month period ended September 28, 2007 increased $180.2 million to $594.6 million, or 5.5% of net sales, from $414.4 million, or 4.7% of net sales, during the six-month period ended September 29, 2006. The 80 basis point period-over-period improvement in gross margin was attributable to a decrease of 100 basis points in restructuring and other charges for the six-month period ended September 28, 2007, offset by a 20 basis point increase in cost of sales during the six-month period ended September 28, 2007 related to a change in customer and product mix, and higher start-up and integration costs associated with multiple new large scale programs.
    Restructuring Charges
     During the six-month period ended September 28, 2007, we recognized restructuring charges of approximately $10.7 million for severance associated with the consolidation of a manufacturing facility in Europe. Approximately $9.8 million of the charges were classified as a component of cost of sales.
     During the three-month and six-month periods ended September 29, 2006, we recognized charges of approximately $96.2 million related to the impairment, lease termination, exit costs and other charges primarily related to the disposal and exit of certain real estate owned and leased by us in order to reduce our investment in property, plant and equipment. Approximately $95.7 million of the charges were classified as a component of cost of sales. During the three-month and six-month periods ended September 30, 2006, charges recognized by reportable geographic region amounted to $59.0 million, $22.5 million and $14.7 million for the Americas, Asia and Europe, respectively.
     As of September 28, 2007, accrued severance and facility closure costs related to restructuring charges incurred during the six-month period ended September 28, 2007 and prior were approximately $52.0 million, of which approximately $20.4 million was classified as a long-term obligation.
     Refer to Note 8, “Restructuring Charges” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of our historical restructuring activities.

Table of Contents

     On November 2, 2007, executive management committed to various restructuring activities to be undertaken in connection with our acquisition of Solectron. The costs associated with the restructuring and integration activities are related to operations that were associated with the Company prior to its acquisition of Solectron, and are centered on the global footprint rationalization and elimination of redundant assets or unnecessary functions resulting from the combination of the two companies. Total restructuring charges are estimated to range between $430.0 and $500.0 million and are expected to be recognized during the next 12 months. Refer to our discussion of Restructuring Activities in Note 13, “Subsequent Events” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.
    Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
     Selling, general and administrative expenses, or SG&A, amounted to $152.6 million, or 2.7% of net sales, during the three-month period ended September 28, 2007, compared to $148.3 million, or 3.2% of net sales, during the three-month period ended September 29, 2006. SG&A amounted to $299.1 million, or 2.8% of net sales, during the six-month period ended September 28, 2007, compared to $267.5 million, or 3.1% of net sales, during the six-month period ended September 29, 2006. The increases in SG&A during the three-month and six-month periods ended September 28, 2007 were primarily attributable to business and asset acquisitions over the past 12 months, and continued investments in resources necessary to support 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 and six-month periods ended September 28, 2007 was primarily attributable to higher net sales.
    Intangible Amortization
     Amortization of intangible assets during the three-month period ended September 28, 2007 increased by $5.2 million to $13.7 million from $8.5 million during the three-month period ended September 29, 2006. The increase in expense during the three-month period ended September 28, 2007 was attributable to the amortization of intangible assets acquired over the 12 months ended September 28, 2007, which were primarily related to certain acquired licenses and the acquisitions of IDW and other smaller businesses that were not individually significant to our condensed consolidated results.
     Amortization of intangible assets during the six-month period ended September 28, 2007 increased by $14.7 million to $30.4 million from $15.7 million during the six-month period ended September 29, 2006. The increase in expense during the six-month period ended September 28, 2007 was attributable to the amortization of intangible assets acquired over the 12 months ended September 28, 2007, which were primarily related to certain acquired licenses and the 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 six-month period ended September 28, 2007 we recognized a gain of approximately $9.3 million primarily related to the release of cumulative foreign exchange translation gains in connection with the divestiture of a certain international entity.
    Interest and Other Expense, Net
     Interest and other expense, net was $16.2 million during the three-month period ended September 28, 2007 compared to $31.1 million during the three-month period ended September 29, 2006, a decrease of $14.9 million. Interest and other expense, net was $31.7 million during the six-month period ended September 28, 2007 compared to $60.3 million during the six-month period ended September 29, 2006, a decrease of $28.6 million. The decreases in expense are primarily the result of lower average debt balances, and interest and other income earned on the $250.0 million face value promissory note and certain other agreements received in connection with the divestiture of the Software Development and Solutions business during the second quarter of fiscal year 2007.

    Income Taxes
     Certain 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 7.9% and 5.7% during the three-month and six-month periods ended September 29, 2007, respectively.
     The tax benefit during the three-month and six-month periods ended September 29, 2006 includes an approximate $23.0 million tax benefit related to the $96.2 million of impairment, lease termination, exit costs and other charges primarily related to the disposal and exit of certain real estate owned and leased by us in order to reduce our investment in property, plant and equipment.
     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 a current analysis of the realizability of these deferred tax assets, as well as certain tax holidays and incentives granted to subsidiaries primarily in China, Hungary, and Malaysia.
     In evaluating the realizability of deferred tax assets, we consider 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. In connection with our acquisition of Solectron on October 1, 2007, we re-evaluated previously recorded deferred tax assets in the United States, which are primarily comprised of tax loss carry forwards, and as a result we expect to recognize tax expense of approximately $640.0 to $650.0 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2007. There is no incremental cash expenditure relating to this increase in tax expense. Refer to our discussion of Deferred Tax Assets in Note 13, “Subsequent Events” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.
     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”). We adopted FIN 48 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008 and did not recognize any adjustments to the liability for unrecognized tax benefits as a result of the implementation of FIN 48. Refer to our discussion of Recent Accounting Pronouncements under Note 2, “Summary of Accounting Policies” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES — CONTINUING AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
     As of September 28, 2007, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1.0 billion and bank and other borrowings of $1.5 billion. 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 September 28, 2007. The $2.0 billion credit facility and other various credit facilities are subject to compliance with certain financial covenants. As of September 28, 2007, we were in compliance with the financial covenants under our indentures and credit facilities.

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 the global organization.
     Working capital requirements and capital expenditures could continue to increase in order to support future expansions of operations, including our recent acquisition of Solectron. 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.
     On October 1, 2007, we completed the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding common stock of Solectron by issuing approximately 221.8 million of our ordinary shares and paying approximately $1.1 billion in cash. In connection with the acquisition, we entered into a $1.759 billion term loan facility, dated as of October 1, 2007, to fund the cash portion of the consideration, pay acquisition related costs, and to refinance certain of Solectron’s outstanding long-term debt assumed by the Company. On October 1, 2007, we borrowed $1.109 billion under the facility to pay the cash consideration in the acquisition and acquisition-related fees and expenses. On October 15, 2007, we borrowed $175.0 million under the facility to repurchase and redeem Solectron’s 8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2016. On October 31, 2007, Flextronics commenced change in control repurchase offers for Solectron’s $450.0 million outstanding principal amount of 0.5% Senior Convertible Notes, which we expect to repurchase on December 14, 2007. The remaining $475.0 million of the term loan facility is available to repurchase these notes together with related expenses. Assuming we borrowed the entire amount available under the term loan facility, as of September 28, 2007, the combined company would have had approximately $3.2 billion in total long-term debt outstanding on a pro-forma basis. Additionally, we expect to pay between $500.0 million and $550.0 million in cash during the year commencing with the closing of the acquisition for aggregate costs relating to restructuring and integration activities for global footprint rationalization and elimination of redundant assets or unnecessary functions. These payments include estimated amounts that relate to our estimated restructuring charges for operations that were associated with the Company prior to its acquisitions of Solectron, and for activities that will be recorded as liabilities assumed from Solectron. Refer to Note 13, “Subsequent Events” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.
     Historically, we have funded 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 accounts receivable to certain third-party banking institutions with limited recourse, and 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.
     We believe that existing cash balances, together with anticipated cash flows from operations and borrowings available under our credit facilities, will be sufficient to fund operations through at least the next twelve months.
     It is possible that other future acquisitions may also be significant and may require the payment of cash. 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 current shareholders. Further, we may issue debt securities that have rights and privileges senior to those of holders of ordinary shares, and the terms of this debt could impose restrictions on operations and could increase debt service obligations. 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 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 ordinary shares.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND COMMITMENTS
     Information regarding 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 Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007. As previously discussed, on October 1, 2007, we entered into a $1.759 billion term loan facility in connection with the acquisition of Solectron to fund the cash portion of the consideration, pay acquisition related costs, and to refinance certain of Solectron’s outstanding long-term debt assumed by the Company. As a result, our contractual obligations for long-term debt and related interest will increase materially from the amounts disclosed as of March 31, 2007. Refer to Note 13, “Subsequent Events” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.
     We currently expect there will be no further material changes in our contractual obligations that are outside the ordinary course of business since March 31, 2007 as a result of the acquisition of Solectron.
     We adopted FIN 48 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008 and did not recognize any adjustments to the liability for unrecognized tax benefits as a result of the implementation of FIN 48. As of September 28, 2007, we had approximately $66.6 million of unrecognized tax benefits, which, if recognized, would affect tax expense. These unrecognized tax benefits were not included in our discussion of contractual obligations as of March 31, 2007. 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 September 28, 2007, substantially all of these unrecognized tax benefits were classified as long-term.
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 six-month period ended September 28, 2007 as compared to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
    (a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
     Under the supervision and with the participation of 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 September 28, 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 September 28, 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 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 internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the second quarter of fiscal year 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, 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 and in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in Solectron’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the years ended August 25, 2006 and in Part II, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in Solectron’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 1, 2007, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and in Solectron’s Form 10-K and 10-Q are not the only risks facing the 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 acquisition of Solectron, we are subject to the following risks related to the acquisition:
The Company expects to incur significant restructuring charges and other costs associated with the acquisition.
     As discussed under Restructuring Activities in Note 13, “Subsequent Events” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company expects to incur estimated total restructuring charges ranging between $430.0 and $500.0 million during the next 12 months for costs associated with restructuring and integration activities in connection with the Company’s acquisition of Solectron. Further, the Company expects to incur other significant costs for integrating the businesses and operations of Flextronics and Solectron that will be recorded as liabilities assumed from Solectron, with a corresponding increase in goodwill and no impact on operating results. The Company expects to pay between $500.0 and $550.0 million in the aggregate for all costs relating to these restructuring and integration activities. There can be no assurance that we will not incur additional charges in subsequent quarters to reflect additional costs associated with 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.
We may take additional substantial restructuring charges in the future, which may have a material adverse impact on operating results.
     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 we are required to take restructuring charges in the future that are in addition to those discussed under Restructuring Activities in Note 13, “Subsequent Events” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the charges could have a material adverse impact on our operating results, financial position and cash flows.
We may not realize the expected benefits of the acquisition due to difficulties integrating the businesses, operations and product lines of Flextronics and Solectron.
     We believe that the acquisition of Solectron will result in certain benefits, including certain cost and operating synergies and operational efficiencies. However, our 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 the combined company’s business if not completed in a timely and efficient manner. The combined company may not realize the expected benefits of the acquisition for a variety of reasons, including but not limited to the following:

Table of Contents

     
failure to demonstrate to customers and suppliers that the acquisition 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 acquisition may cause a loss of employees and may otherwise materially adversely affect future business and operations.
     Our success after the acquisition will depend in part upon the ability to retain key employees. Current and prospective employees may be uncertain about their roles following the acquisition, which may have a material adverse affect on the ability of the combined company 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 Flextronics following the merger. The loss of services of any key personnel or the inability to hire new personnel with the requisite skills could restrict our ability to develop new products or enhance existing products in a timely manner, 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 entered into a $1.759 billion term loan facility, dated as of October 1, 2007, upon completion of the acquisition of Solectron, to pay the cash portion of the acquisition consideration, pay acquisition related costs, and to refinance certain of Solectron’s outstanding long-term debt assumed by the Company. Assuming the Company borrowed the entire amount available under the term loan facility, as of September 28, 2007, the combined company had approximately $3.2 billion in total long-term debt outstanding on a pro forma basis. This increased indebtedness could limit our flexibility as a result of debt service requirements and restrictive covenants, and may limit our ability to access additional capital or execute business strategy.
