This proxy statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation by the Board of Directors of Flextronics International Ltd. of proxies to be voted at the Annual General Meeting, which will be held at 9:00 a.m., California time, on September 20, 2001 at our principal offices located at 2090 Fortune Drive, San Jose, California in the United States of America, or at any adjournments or postponements thereof, for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Annual General Meeting. This proxy statement and the included proxy card were first mailed to shareholders of record on or about August 23, 2001. The entire cost of soliciting proxies will be borne by us. We have retained Corporate Investors Communications, an independent proxy solicitation firm, to assist in soliciting proxies at an estimated fee of $9,000 plus reimbursement of reasonable expenses.

VOTING RIGHTS AND SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

The close of business on July 26, 2001 was the record date for shareholders entitled to notice of the Annual General Meeting. As of that date, we had 482,652,838 ordinary shares, S$0.01 par value per share, issued and outstanding. All of the ordinary shares issued and outstanding on September 20, 2001 are entitled to vote at the Annual General Meeting, and shareholders of record on September 20, 2001 entitled to vote at the meeting will on a poll have one vote for each ordinary share so held on the matters to be voted upon.

Ordinary shares represented by proxies in the accompanying form which are properly executed and returned to us will be voted at the Annual General Meeting in accordance with the shareholders’ instructions contained therein. The affirmative vote by a show of hands of a simple majority of the shareholders present and voting at the Annual General Meeting, or if a poll is demanded by the chair or by any 10% or greater shareholder, a simple majority of the shares voting at the Annual General Meeting, is required to re-elect the Directors nominated pursuant to Proposal Nos. 1 and 2, to approve Proposal Nos. 3 and 4, and to approve the ordinary resolutions in Proposal Nos. 6 and 7. The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares voting in person or by proxy at the Annual General Meeting is required to approve Proposal No. 5. Abstentions and broker non-votes are each included in the determination of the number of shares present for quorum purposes. Neither abstentions nor broker non-votes are counted in tabulations of the votes cast on proposals presented to shareholders.

In the absence of contrary instructions, shares represented by proxies will be voted FOR Proposal Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7. Management does not know of any matters to be presented at this Annual General Meeting other than those set forth in this proxy statement and in the Notice accompanying this proxy statement. If other matters should properly come before the meeting, the proxy holders will vote on such matters in accordance with their best judgment. Any shareholder of record has the right to revoke his or her proxy at any time prior to voting at the Annual General Meeting by submitting a subsequently dated proxy or by attending the meeting and voting in person. To be effective, a proxy must be deposited at our registered office located at 36 Robinson Road #18-01, City House, Singapore 068877 or at EquiServe L.P., P.O. Box 8040, Boston, MA 02266-8040, United States of America, at least 48 hours before the time set for the Annual General Meeting.

We have prepared, in accordance with Singapore law, Singapore dollar financial statements to be distributed as part of this proxy statement. Except as otherwise stated herein, all monetary amounts in this proxy statement have been presented in U.S. dollars.

PROPOSAL NOS. 1 AND 2:

RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Under Article 95 of our Articles of Association, at each Annual General Meeting, at least one-third of the Directors, or, if their number is not a multiple of three, then the number nearest to but not less than one-third of the Directors, are required to retire from office. The Directors required to retire in each year are those who have been in office longest since their last re-election or appointment. As between persons who became or were last re-elected Directors on the same day, those required to retire are (unless they otherwise agree among themselves) determined by lot. Retiring Directors are eligible for re-election. Messrs. Ahkong and Sharp are the two members of the Board of Directors who will retire by rotation in the manner stated above. They are eligible for re-election and have been nominated to stand for re-election at the 2001 Annual General Meeting.

Under Article 101 of our Articles of Association, any person appointed as a Director by the Board of Directors shall hold office only until the next Annual General Meeting and shall then be eligible for re-election. However, this Director shall not be taken into account in determining the number of Directors who are to retire by rotation at the Annual General Meeting in the manner stated above. Mr. Goh was appointed as a Director by the Board of Directors in December 2000 in connection with our acquisition of JIT Holdings Limited. Mr. Goh will hold office until the 2001 Annual General Meeting. He is eligible for re-election and has been nominated to stand for re-election at the 2001 Annual General Meeting.

The proxy holders intend to vote all proxies received by them in the accompanying form for the nominees for Directors listed below. In the event any nominee is unable or declines to serve as a Director at the time of the Annual General Meeting, the proxies will be voted for any nominee who shall be designated by the present Board of Directors, in accordance with Article 100 of our Articles of Association, to fill the vacancy. In the event that additional persons are nominated for election as Directors, in accordance with Article 100 of our Articles of Association, the proxy holders intend to vote all proxies received by them for the nominees listed below. As of the date of this proxy statement, the Board of Directors is not aware of any nominee who is unable or will decline to serve as a Director.

Board and Committee Meetings

Our Board of Directors held a total of 49 administrative meetings and 1 regularly scheduled meeting during fiscal 2001. During the period for which each current director was a director or a committee member, all directors attended at least 75% of the aggregate of the total number of regularly scheduled meetings of the Board together with the total number of meetings held by all committees of the Board on which he served.

Director Compensation

Each individual who first becomes a non-employee Board member is granted a stock option to purchase 30,000 ordinary shares, pursuant to our 1993 Share Option Plan. After this initial grant, pursuant to the terms of the automatic option grant provisions of our 1993 Share Option Plan, on the date of each Annual General Meeting, each individual who is at that time serving as a non-employee director receives a stock option to purchase 6,000 ordinary shares. Pursuant to this program, Messrs. Ahkong, Moritz, Sharp, Foley and Tsui each received option grants for 3,000 ordinary shares in fiscal 2001. If our shareholders approve and adopt our 2001 Equity Incentive Plan, as described in Proposal No. 5, our directors will be compensated in substantially the same manner, except that non-employee Board members initially will be granted a stock option to purchase 20,000 ordinary shares and automatically will be granted a stock option to purchase 6,000 ordinary shares on the date of each Annual General Meeting.

In addition, all directors receive reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with meetings of the Board of Directors. No non-employee director receives any cash compensation for services rendered as a director. No director who is our employee receives compensation for services rendered as a director.

Option Grants in Fiscal 2001

The following table presents information regarding option grants during fiscal 2001 to our Chief Executive Officer and each of our four other most highly compensated executive officers. All options were granted pursuant to our 1993 Share Option Plan.

The options shown in the table were granted at fair market value and are incentive stock options (to the extent permitted under the Internal Revenue Code). Options granted on or before October 1, 2000 expire five years from the date of grant, subject to earlier termination upon termination of the optionee’s employment. Options granted after October 1, 2000 expire ten years from the date of grant, subject to earlier termination as described above. The options become exercisable over a four-year period, with 25% of the shares vesting on the first anniversary of the date of grant and 1/36th of the shares vesting for each full calendar month that an optionee renders services to us thereafter. Each option fully accelerates in the event that, in the 18-month period following certain mergers or acquisitions of us, the optionee’s employment with us is terminated or his duties are substantially reduced or changed. See “— Change of Control Arrangements” for a description of amendments to this acceleration provision that were recently approved by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors. Each option includes a limited stock appreciation right pursuant to which the option will automatically be canceled upon the occurrence of certain hostile tender offers, in return for a cash distribution from us based on the tender offer price per share. The exercise price of each option may be paid in cash or through a cashless exercise procedure involving a same-day sale of the purchase shares. We granted options to purchase an aggregate of 14,655,646 ordinary shares to our employees during fiscal 2001.

In accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the table presents the potential realizable values that would exist for the options at the end of their respective five-year or ten-year terms, as the case may be. These values are based on assumed rates of annual compound stock price appreciation of 5% and 10% from the date the option was granted to the end of the option term. Potential realizable values are computed by:


	•	multiplying the number of ordinary shares subject to a given option by the trading price per share of our ordinary shares on the date of grant;

	•	assuming that the aggregate option exercise price derived from the calculation compounds at the annual 5% or 10% rates should in the table for the entire five or ten year term of the option, as the case may be; and

	•	subtracting from that result the aggregate option exercise price.

The assumed 5% and 10% rates of share price appreciation are mandated by rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and do not represent our estimate or projection of future ordinary share prices. The closing sale price per share as reported on the Nasdaq National Market on March 30, 2001, the last trading day of fiscal 2001, was $15.00.

Aggregated Option Exercises in Fiscal 2001 and Option Values at March 31, 2001

The following table presents information concerning the exercise of options during fiscal 2001 by our Chief Executive Officer and each of our four other most highly compensated executive officers, including the aggregate amount of gains on the date of exercise. The amounts set forth in the column entitled “Value Realized” represent the fair market value of the ordinary shares underlying the option on the date of exercise less the aggregate exercise price of the option.

In addition, the table includes the number of shares covered by both exercisable and unexercisable stock options as of March 31, 2001. Also reported are values of “in-the-money” options that represent the positive spread between the respective exercise prices of outstanding stock options and $15.00 per share, which was the closing price per ordinary share as reported on the Nasdaq National Market on March 30, 2001, the last day of trading for fiscal 2001. These values, unlike the amounts set forth in the column entitled “Value Realized,” have not been, and may never be, realized.

Employment Agreements with Executive Officers

Mr. Nilsson. In connection with the acquisition of two manufacturing facilities from Ericsson Business Networks AB located in Karlskrona, Sweden, we entered into an Employment and Noncompetition Agreement and a Services Agreement with Mr. Ronny Nilsson, each dated as of April 30, 1997.

Pursuant to the Employment Agreement, Mr. Nilsson:


	•	was appointed as our Senior Vice President, Europe for a four-year period;

	•	is entitled to receive an annual salary of $250,000; and

	•	is entitled to a bonus of up to 45% of his annual salary upon the successful completion of certain performance criteria.

Pursuant to the Services Agreement, Mr. Nilsson is to perform management consultation and guidance services to us in consideration for:


	•	an aggregate of $775,000 which was paid between March 31, 1997 and April 15, 1998; and

	•	the issuance by us to Mr. Nilsson of an interest-free loan in the amount of 51,875 kronor ($415,000 as of April 15, 1997, the date of the issuance of the loan) which was repaid by Mr. Nilsson in two installments of $210,000 on September 15, 1997 and $205,000 on April 15, 1998.

In connection with Mr. Nilsson’s repayment of the interest-free loan, on April 15,1998 we paid to Mr. Nilsson as compensation an amount equal to the two installments paid by Mr. Nilsson.

Mr. Goh. In connection with our acquisition of JIT Holdings Limited, JIT entered into a noncompetition agreement with Goh Thiam Poh Tommie, Chairman of the Board of JIT and a principal shareholder of JIT. Pursuant to this agreement, Mr. Goh agreed that within specific geographic areas he will not own or manage a business that competes with JIT or solicit any employees or customers of JIT. This agreement will terminate upon the earlier of one year after the termination of Mr. Goh’s employment with JIT or November 30, 2003.

Change in Control Arrangements

In August 2001, the compensation committee of our board of directors approved the amendment of the outstanding options that we have granted to our executive officers to provide that if the executive officer is terminated without cause or leaves for good reason within the first 12 months following a change in control transaction, the vesting of any unvested portion of the option will be accelerated in full, and if the executive officer is still employed upon the first year anniversary of such a change of control, the vesting of any unvested portion of the option will be accelerated in full. We anticipate that in the future, option agreements with our executive officers may contain similar acceleration provisions in the future.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

The members of the compensation committee of our Board of Directors during fiscal 2001 were Messrs. Sharp and Moritz. None of our officers serve on our compensation committee. No interlocking relationships exist between our Board of Directors or compensation committee and the board of directors or compensation committee of any other company.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in any of our previous filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which might incorporate this proxy statement by reference to future filings under those statutes, the following Compensation Committee Report on Executive Compensation will not be incorporated by reference into any of those previous filings; nor will such report be incorporated by reference into any future filings made by us under those statutes.

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors sets the base salary of our executive officers and approves individual bonus programs for executive officers. The Compensation Committee took no action with respect to executive compensation in fiscal 2001, other than approving certain year-end bonuses earned in accordance with a bonus plan previously adopted by our Board of Directors and authorizing salary increases and option grants to five executive officers. Option grants to executive officers are made by the Compensation Committee, and the Compensation Committee has complete discretion in establishing the terms of each such grant. The following is a summary of our policies that affect the compensation paid to executive officers, as reflected in the tables and text presented elsewhere in this proxy statement.

General Compensation Policy. Our overall policy is to offer our executive officers cash-based and equity-based compensation opportunities based upon their personal performance, our financial performance and their contribution to that performance. One of our primary objectives is to have a significant portion of each officer’s compensation contingent upon our performance as well as upon his or her own level of

performance. The principal factors taken into account in establishing each executive officer’s compensation package are summarized below. Additional factors may be taken into account to a lesser degree, and the relative weight given to each factor varies with each individual in the discretion of the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee may in its discretion apply entirely different factors, such as different measures of financial performance, for future fiscal years.

Cash-Based Compensation. We set base salary for executive officers on the basis of personal performance and internal and industry comparability considerations. Bonuses are generally paid at the discretion of the Compensation Committee. In determining the amount of the bonus to be paid to each executive officer, including the Chief Executive Officer, we first establish a percentage of the officer’s base salary as a target bonus. The amount of the actual bonus paid to the officer can be greater or less than this percentage, and depends on our net income, the performance of our operations that are under the officer’s supervision and other performance factors, each as compared to budgeted performance for the period. We also have a 401(k) retirement savings plan for U.S. employees to which we can contribute a portion of profits and such contribution is allocated to eligible participants in proportion to their total compensation for the year relative to the total aggregate compensation for all eligible participants. We believe that all employees share the responsibility of achieving profits.

Long-Term Equity-Based Compensation. The Compensation Committee intends to make stock option grants from time to time. Each grant is designed to align the interests of the executive officer with those of the shareholders and provide each individual with a significant incentive to manage the company from the perspective of an owner with an equity stake in the business. Each grant generally allows the officer to acquire our ordinary shares at a fixed price per share (the market price on the grant date) over a period of up to ten years, thus providing a return to the officer only if he or she remains in our employ and the market price of the shares appreciates over the option term. The size of the option grant to each executive officer generally is set at a level that is intended to create a meaningful opportunity for share ownership based upon the individual’s current position with us, but there is also taken into account the individual’s potential for future responsibility and promotion over the option term, the individual’s personal performance in recent periods and the number of options held by the individual at the time of grant. The relative weight given to these factors varies with each individual in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee.

Chief Executive Officer Compensation. Mr. Marks’ base salary is based on our expectation of his personal performance and comparisons to the base salaries of our other executive officers and in the industry.

With respect to Mr. Marks’ base salary, it is our intent to provide him with a level of stability and certainty each year and not have this particular component of compensation affected to any significant degree by short-term company performance factors. However, in recognition of our rapid growth and corresponding expansion of Mr. Marks’ responsibilities, Mr. Marks’ base salary was increased from $450,000 in fiscal 2000 to $600,000 in fiscal 2001. In fiscal 2001, the Compensation Committee granted Mr. Marks an option to purchase 36,456 ordinary shares at an exercise price of $2.4375 per share and an option to purchase 1,000,000 ordinary shares at an exercise price of $23.1875 per share. The Compensation Committee based its decision regarding the size of the option grants to Mr. Marks on an analysis of option grants to Chief Executive Officers in the industry with similar responsibilities. We also provided for the acceleration of all Mr. Marks’ unvested options in the event that, following certain mergers or acquisitions by us, Mr. Marks’ employment with us is terminated or his duties are substantially reduced or changed.

Deduction Limit for Executive Compensation. Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code limits federal income tax deductions for compensation paid to the chief executive officer and the four other most highly compensated officers of a public company to $1.0 million per year, but contains an exception for performance-based compensation that satisfies certain conditions.

We believe that stock options granted to our executives qualify for the performance-based exception to the deduction limit and because it is unlikely that other compensation payable to any of our executives would exceed the deduction limit in the near future the Compensation Committee has not yet qualified compensation other than options for the performance-based exception. In approving the amount and form of compensation for our executives, the Compensation Committee will continue to consider all elements of cost to us of providing that compensation.

STOCK PRICE PERFORMANCE GRAPH

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in any of our previous filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which might incorporate this proxy statement by reference to future filings under those statutes, the following performance graph will not be incorporated by reference into any of those previous filings; nor will such performance graph be incorporated by reference into any future filings made by us under those statutes.

The graph below compares the cumulative total shareholder return on our ordinary shares, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Stock Index and a peer group that includes Celestica, Inc., Jabil Circuit, Inc., Sanmina Corp., SCI Systems, Inc. and Solectron Corp. We have previously compared the return with a peer group that consisted of The DII Group, Inc., which we acquired in April 2000, Jabil Circuit, Inc., Sanmina Corp., SCI Systems, Inc. and Solectron Corp.

The graph assumes that $100 was invested in our ordinary shares, in the Standard & Poor’s 500 Stock Index and in the peer group described above on March 31, 1995 and reflects the annual return through March 31, 2001, assuming dividend reinvestment.

The comparisons in the graph below are based on historical data and are not indicative of, or intended to forecast, the possible future performances of our ordinary shares.

COMPLIANCE UNDER SECTION 16(A) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934

Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our directors and officers, and persons who own more than 10% of our ordinary shares to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Nasdaq National Market. Such persons are required by Securities and Exchange Commission regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms that they file. Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms furnished to us and written representations from our executive officers and directors, we believe that all Section 16(a) filing requirements for the year ended March 31, 2001 were met with the exception of the following: Messrs. Manire, Schlepp, Snyder and Smach failed to file timely Forms 3; Messrs. Bhardwaj, McNamara, Marks and Schlepp failed to timely file Forms 4 for October 2000; and Messrs. Bhardwaj, McNamara, Marks, Porter, Schlepp and Smach failed to file timely Forms 4 for February 2001.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth information as of June 30, 2001 regarding the beneficial ownership of our ordinary shares, by:


	•	each shareholder known to us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our ordinary shares;

	•	each director;

	•	each executive officer named in the Summary Compensation Table; and

	•	all directors and executive officers as a group.

Information in this table as to our directors and executive officers is based upon information supplied by these individuals. Information in this table as to our 5% shareholders is based solely upon the Schedules 13G filed by these shareholders with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Where information regarding shareholders is based on Schedules 13G, the number of shares owned is as of the date for which information was provided in such schedules.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that deem shares to be beneficially owned by any person who has voting or investment power with respect to such shares. Ordinary shares subject to options that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of June 30, 2001 are deemed to be outstanding and to be beneficially owned by the person holding such options for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of such person but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Unless otherwise indicated below, the persons and entities named in the table have sole voting and sole investment power with respect to all the shares beneficially owned, subject to community property laws where applicable.

In the table below, percentage ownership is based upon 484,713,214 ordinary shares outstanding as of June 30, 2001.

The Board of Directors intends to engage Arthur Andersen as independent auditors to audit our accounts and records for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2002, and to perform other appropriate services. We

expect that a representative from Arthur Andersen will be present at the 2001 Annual General Meeting. Such representative will have the opportunity to make a statement if he so desires and is expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions.

The Board recommends a vote “FOR” the

appointment of Arthur Andersen LLP as independent

auditors for fiscal 2002 and authorization for

the board of directors to fix their remuneration.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

The Audit Committee assists the Board of Directors in overseeing of Flextronics’ financial accounting and reporting processes and systems of internal controls. The committee also evaluates the performance and independence of Flextronics’ independent auditors. The Audit Committee operates under a written charter, which is included as Annex A to this proxy statement. Under the written charter of the Audit Committee the committee will consist of at least three directors, a majority of whom are not officers or employees of Flextronics. The current members of the committee are Messrs. Ahkong, Foley and Moritz. Each is an “independent” director as defined by the rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market.

Flextronics’ financial and senior management supervise its systems of internal controls and the financial reporting process. Flextronics’ independent auditors, Arthur Andersen LLP, perform an independent audit of Flextronics’ consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and issue a report on these consolidated financial statements. The Audit Committee monitors these processes.

The Audit Committee has reviewed Flextronics’ audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2001 and has met with both the management of Flextronics and its independent auditors to discuss the consolidated financial statements. Flextronics’ management represented to the Audit Committee that its audited consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

The Audit Committee also discussed with Flextronics’ independent auditors the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, Communication with Audit Committees. The Audit Committee has also received from Flextronics’ independent auditors the written disclosures and letter required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, Independence Discussions with Audit Committees, and has discussed with Flextronics’ independent auditors the independence of that firm. The Audit Committee has also considered whether the provision of non-audit services by Flextronics’ independent auditors is compatible with maintaining the independence of the independent auditors.

Based on the Audit Committee’s discussions with the management of Flextronics and Flextronics’ independent auditors and based on the Audit Committee’s review of Flextronics’ audited consolidated financial statements together with the report of Flextronics’ independent auditors on the consolidated financial statements and the representations of Flextronics’ management with regard to these consolidated financial statements, the Audit Committee recommended to Flextronics’ board of directors that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in Flextronics’ annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2001, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 29, 2001.

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2001, the aggregate fees billed by Flextronics’ independent auditors, Arthur Andersen LLP, for professional services were as follows:


	•	Audit Fees. The aggregate fees billed by Arthur Andersen LLP for professional services rendered for the audit of Flextronics’ annual consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2001 including all statutory audits required for Flextronics’ subsidiaries and for the review of the consolidated financial statements included in Flextronics’ Forms 10-Q for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2001 were approximately $2,700,000;

	•	Financial Information Systems Design and Implementation Fees. The aggregate fees billed by Arthur Andersen LLP for professional services rendered for financial information systems design and


		implementation professional services for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2001 were approximately $540,000; and

	•	All Other Fees. The aggregate fees billed by Arthur Andersen LLP for services other than those described above for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2001 totaled approximately $7,700,000 and were primarily for tax services performed worldwide. The Audit Committee has determined that the provision of these services is compatible with maintaining Arthur Andersen LLP’s independence.

PROPOSAL NO. 5

ORDINARY RESOLUTION TO APPROVE AND ADOPT THE 2001 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

Our shareholders are being asked to approve and adopt our 2001 Equity Incentive Plan, which was adopted by our Board of Directors in August 2001. The principal features of the 2001 Plan are summarized below. However, this summary is not a complete description of all of the provisions of the 2001 Plan, which is attached to this proxy statement as Annex B. You are encouraged to carefully read the 2001 Plan in its entirety. If this Proposal No. 5 is approved by our shareholders no additional options will be granted under our 1993 Share Option Plan. Any options outstanding under the 1993 Share Option Plan will remain outstanding until exercised or until they terminate or expire by their terms.

Equity Incentive Programs

The 2001 Plan contains two separate equity incentive programs, including a discretionary option grant program and an automatic option grant program. The discretionary option grant program is administered by the Compensation Committee with respect to officers and directors and by the Chairman of our Board, Mr. Marks, with respect to all other employees. The Compensation Committee and the Chairman of the Board are referred to in this section as the Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator has complete discretion, subject to the provisions of the 2001 Plan, to authorize option grants under the 2001 Plan. However, all grants under the automatic option grant program must be made in strict compliance with the provisions of that program, and no administrative discretion can be exercised by the Plan Administrator with respect to the grants made under that program.

Share Reserve

A total of 7,000,000 ordinary shares have been reserved for issuance by the Board over the ten year term of the 2001 Plan plus shares that are subject to issuance upon exercise of an option granted under the 2001 Plan but cease to be subject to such option for any reason other than exercise or surrender of such option. In addition to the shares reserved by the Board, subject to the terms of the 2001 Plan, the remaining shares that are available for issuance under our 1993 Share Option Plan and any shares issuable upon exercise of options granted under our 1993 Share Option Plan that expire or become unexercisable for any reason without having been exercised in full will be available for grant under the 2001 Plan.

In no event may any one participant in the 2001 Plan be granted options to purchase more than 4,000,000 ordinary shares in the aggregate per calendar year under the 2001 Plan.

In the event any change is made to our outstanding ordinary shares by reason of any recapitalization, bonus issue, stock split, combination of shares, exchange of shares or other changes affecting the outstanding

shares as a class without our receipt of consideration, appropriate adjustments will be made to the maximum number and/or class of securities issuable under the 2001 Plan, the maximum number and/or class of securities for which any participant may be granted options over the term of the 2001 Plan, the number and/or class of securities and price per share in effect under each outstanding option, and the class of securities for which automatic option grants are to be subsequently made to newly elected or continuing non-employee directors.

Eligibility

Our officers, members of our board of directors, our employees, and the employees of any of our parent or subsidiaries, whether now existing or subsequently established are eligible to participate in the discretionary option grant program. Non-employee directors are also eligible to participate in the automatic option grant program. Non-employee directors may not participate in the automatic option grant program if such participation is prohibited or restricted, either absolutely or subject to various securities requirements, whether legal or administrative, being complied with, in the jurisdiction in which such director is a resident under the relevant securities laws of that jurisdiction.

As of July 31, 2001 approximately 10 executive officers, 6 directors and approximately 18,500 employees were eligible to participate in the 2001 Plan, and 5 non-employee directors were eligible to participate in the automatic option grant program.

Valuation

The fair market value per ordinary share on any relevant date under the 2001 Plan is the closing sales price per share on that date on the Nasdaq National Market. On August 20, 2001, the closing sales price per share as reported on the Nasdaq National Market was $22.20.

Discretionary Option Grant Program

Options may be granted under the discretionary option grant program at an exercise price equal to the fair market value per ordinary share on the option grant date. Each option granted under this program has a term of no more than ten years, except that options granted to non-employees have a term of not more than five years. In addition to any options that non-employee directors may be eligible to receive under the automatic option grant program described below, under this discretionary option grant program, non-employee directors as a group are eligible to receive options to purchase an aggregate of 50,000 shares per calendar year.

Options granted under the 2001 Plan generally may be exercised as to vested shares for a period of time after the termination of the option holder’s service to us or a parent or subsidiary. Generally, the Plan Administrator has complete discretion to extend the period following the optionee’s cessation of service during which his or her outstanding options may be exercised and/or to accelerate the exercisability or vesting of such options in whole or in part. Such discretion may be exercised at any time while the options remain outstanding, whether before or after the optionee’s actual cessation of service.

Automatic Option Grant Program

Under the automatic option grant program, each individual who first becomes a non-employee director, will automatically be granted at that time a stock option to purchase 20,000 ordinary shares. In addition, on the date of each Annual General Meeting, individuals who first become non-employee directors on that date automatically will be granted an option to purchase 20,000 ordinary shares, and continuing non-employee directors automatically will be granted an option to purchase 6,000 ordinary shares.

Each option granted under this program must have an exercise price per share equal to 100% of the fair market value per ordinary share on the grant date and a maximum term of five years. Each option becomes exercisable as to 25% of the total shares one year after the date of grant and as to 1/48 of the total shares each month thereafter.

Each automatic option grant will automatically accelerate upon an acquisition of us by merger or asset sale or a hostile change in control of us. In addition, upon the successful completion of a hostile take-over, each automatic option grant which has been outstanding for at least six months may be surrendered to us for a cash distribution per surrendered option share in an amount equal to the excess of (a) the take-over price per share over (b) the exercise price payable for such share.

General Provisions

Acceleration. In the event that we are acquired by merger or asset sale, each outstanding option under the discretionary option grant program shall automatically accelerate so that each such option shall, immediately prior to the specified effective date of such transaction, become fully exercisable with respect to the total number of shares at the time subject to such option and may be exercised for all or any portion of such shares. However, subject to the specific terms of an optionee’s option agreement, an outstanding option under the 2001 Plan shall not so accelerate if and to the extent such Option is either to be assumed or replaced with a comparable option to purchase shares of the capital stock of the successor corporation or parent thereof, such option is to be replaced with a cash incentive program of the successor corporation which preserves the option spread existing at the time of such transaction or the acceleration of such option is subject to other limitations imposed by the Plan Administrator at the time of the option grant.

The acceleration of vesting in the event of a change in the ownership or control of us may be seen as an anti-takeover provision and may have the effect of discouraging a merger proposal, a takeover attempt or other efforts to gain control of us.

Payment for Options. Option holders may pay the exercise price of vested, outstanding options in cash, by executing a same-day sale, by cancellation of indebtedness , by conversion of a convertible note issued by us or through waiver of compensation.

Amendment and Termination. The Board may amend or modify the 2001 Plan in any or all respects whatsoever subject to any required shareholder approval. The Board may terminate the 2001 Plan at any time, and the 2001 Plan will in any event terminate in August 2011.

Federal Income Tax Consequences of Option Grants

Options granted under the 2001 Plan may be either incentive stock options which satisfy the requirements of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code or non-statutory options which are not intended to meet such requirements. The United States Federal income tax treatment for the two types of options differs as follows:

Incentive Stock Options. No taxable income is recognized by the optionee at the time of the option grant, and no taxable income is generally recognized at the time the option is exercised unless the optionee is subject to the alternative minimum tax. The optionee will, however, recognize taxable income in the year in which the purchased shares are sold or otherwise disposed of. For Federal tax purposes, dispositions are divided into either qualifying or disqualifying. A qualifying disposition occurs if the sale or other disposition is made after the optionee has held the shares for more than two years after the option grant date and more than one year after the exercise date. Upon a qualifying disposition, the optionee will recognize capital gain or loss. If either of these two holding periods is not satisfied, then a disqualifying disposition will result. Upon a disqualifying disposition, any gain up to the difference between the option exercise price and the fair market value of the shares on the later of the date of exercise or the date of vesting, or, if less, the amount realized on the sale of shares, will be treated as ordinary income. Any additional gain will be capital gain.

If the optionee makes a disqualifying disposition of the purchased shares, then we will be entitled to an income tax deduction, for the taxable year in which such disposition occurs, equal to the excess of the fair market value of such shares on the option exercise date over the exercise price paid for the shares. In no other instance will we be allowed a deduction with respect to the optionee’s disposition of the purchased shares.

Non-Statutory Options. No taxable income is recognized by an optionee upon the grant of a non-statutory option. The optionee will in general recognize ordinary income, in the year in which the option is exercised, equal to the excess of the fair market value of the purchased shares on the exercise date over the

exercise price paid for the shares, and the optionee will be required to satisfy the tax withholding requirements applicable to such income.

New Plan Benefits

The amount of future option grants under the discretionary option grant program of the 2001 Plan to:


	•	our Chief Executive Officer,

	•	the four other most highly compensated executive officers whose salary for the fiscal year exceeded $100,000,

	•	all current executive officers as a group, and

	•	all employees, including all officers who are not executive officers, as a group,

are not determinable because, under the terms of the discretionary option grant program of the 2001 Plan, such grants are made in the discretion of the Plan Administrator or its designees. Future option exercise prices under the 2001 Plan are not determinable because they are based upon the fair market value of our ordinary shares on the date of grant.

The following table shows in the aggregate the options that would be granted to non-employee directors under the automatic option grant program if this Proposal No. 5 is approved by our shareholders:


			Number of
Name and Position	Exercise Price (per share)		Shares

All current directors who are not executive officers as a group (5 persons)		Fair market value on date of grant		30,000

The Board recommends a vote “FOR” the approval

and adoption of our 2001 Equity Incentive Plan.

PROPOSAL NO. 6:

ORDINARY RESOLUTION TO APPROVE VARIOUS MATTERS

RELATING TO ORDINARY SHARE ISSUANCES

We are incorporated in the Republic of Singapore. Under Singapore law, new ordinary shares may only be issued with the prior approval of our shareholders at a general meeting. Such approval, if granted, is effective from the date of the meeting at which it was given to the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting of our shareholders or the expiration of the period within which the next Annual General Meeting is required by law to be held, whichever is the earlier. The Board believes that it is advisable and in our best interest for our shareholders to authorize the Directors to issue new shares for financing future transactions, acquisitions and other proper corporate opportunities and purposes. Having additional shares available and authorized for issuance in the future gives us greater flexibility to pursue corporate opportunities and enables the Directors to issue new shares without the expense and delay of an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders.

We are seeking shareholder approval to issue new ordinary shares during the period from the date of the 2001 Annual General Meeting to the date of the 2002 Annual General Meeting. If obtained, shareholder approval of this proposal will lapse on the date of the 2002 Annual General Meeting or the expiration of the period within which the 2002 Annual General Meeting is required by law to be held, whichever is earlier.

The Board recommends a vote “FOR” the resolution

relating to ordinary share issuances

PROPOSAL NO. 7:

ORDINARY RESOLUTION TO APPROVE A BONUS ISSUE OF ONE ORDINARY

SHARE FOR EVERY ONE EXISTING ORDINARY SHARE HELD BY OUR SHAREHOLDERS

Under Singapore law, a company may capitalize its reserves and apply such capitalized sum in payment for additional ordinary shares, which may then be allotted and issued, to its shareholders, credited as fully paid, in a transaction commonly referred to as a “bonus issue.” A bonus issue is similar to a stock dividend by a Delaware or California corporation. However, under our Articles of Association, we may allot and issue shares in a bonus issue, which we refer to as bonus shares, only upon recommendation of the Directors and with the prior approval of our shareholders at a general meeting. The Board believes that it is advisable and has recommended that it is in the best interest for our shareholders that the Board be granted the authority to allot and issue, at its sole discretion after the date of the 2001 Annual General Meeting, but on or before 5:00 p.m., California time, August 31, 2002, a bonus issue of up to an aggregate of 482,652,838 bonus shares and, in the event that any new shares are allotted and issued by us after the close of business on July 26, 2001, which date we refer to in this section as the Record Date, but on or before 5:00 p.m., California time, August 31, 2002, an additional one bonus share for each new share so allotted and issued, to be credited as fully paid, which we refer to as the Bonus Shares.

The Board believes that such discretionary authority is in the best interest of our shareholders since it provides the Board an opportunity to review economic and financial conditions prior to making the decision as to whether a bonus issue should be effected.

If the Board exercises its authority to allot and issue the Bonus Shares after the date of the 2001 Annual General Meeting but on or before 5:00 p.m., California time, August 31, 2002, then the Bonus Shares are to be allotted and issued to the holders of record of the ordinary shares on the date specified by our Board of Directors after the date of the 2001 Annual General Meeting, but no later than 5:00 p.m., California time, August 31, 2002, on the basis of one bonus share for every one ordinary share then held. Fractional bonus shares will not be issued, but will be disposed of in such a manner as the Directors deem fit. As a result, if the bonus issue is approved at the 2001 Annual General Meeting and the Board exercises its authority to allot and issue the Bonus Shares after the date of the 2001 Annual General Meeting, but on or before 5:00 p.m., California time, August 31, 2002, then each holder of record of ordinary shares on the date specified by our Board of Directors after the date of the 2001 Annual General Meeting, but no later than 5:00 p.m., California time, August 31, 2002, would receive an additional one ordinary share, credited as fully paid, for every one ordinary share then held of record by such shareholder. If the bonus issue is approved at the 2001 Annual General Meeting but the Board does not exercise its authority to allot and issue the Bonus Shares after the date of the 2001 Annual General Meeting, but on or before 5:00 p.m., California time, August 31, 2002, then no bonus issue would be effected and, accordingly, no bonus shares would be allotted and issued to shareholders.

The Bonus Shares, if and when allotted and issued, would rank pari passu in all respects with the existing ordinary shares, and would have identical rights. A sum of up to S$4,826,528.38 and, in the event that any new shares are allotted and issued by us after the Record Date, but on or before 5:00 p.m., California time, August 31, 2002, an additional amount of S$0.01 for each new share so allotted and issued, from our Share Premium Account as at March 31, 2001, which sum we refer to as the Capital Sum, would be capitalized and applied in paying up in full the Bonus Shares to be issued. Accordingly, our issued and paid up capital would increase by up to S$4,826,528.38 after the allotment and issuance of the Bonus Shares and, in the event that any new shares are allotted and issued by us after the Record Date but on or before 5:00 p.m., California time, August 31, 2002, an additional amount of $0.01 each for each new share so allotted and issued. Our independent auditors, Arthur Andersen, have advised us that the balance in our Share Premium Account at March 31, 2001 is sufficient for the purpose of the bonus issue.

The Board recommends a vote “FOR” the

resolution approving the proposed bonus issue.

SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS FOR THE 2002 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Shareholder proposals intended to be considered at the 2002 Annual General Meeting of shareholders must be received by us no less than 120 days prior to August 27, 2002. Any proposals must be mailed to our San Jose, California offices, 2090 Fortune Drive, San Jose, California 95131, Attention: Chief Executive Officer. Such proposals may be included in next year’s proxy statement if they comply with certain rules and regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

OTHER MATTERS

Management does not know of any matters to be presented at this Annual General Meeting other than those set forth herein and in the notice accompanying this proxy statement.

It is important that your shares be represented at the meeting, regardless of the number of shares which you hold. You are, therefore, urged to execute promptly and return the accompanying proxy in the envelope which has been enclosed for your convenience. Shareholders who are present at the meeting may revoke their proxies and vote in person or, if they prefer, may abstain from voting in person and allow their proxies to be voted.

#	Represents number of shares after 2 for 1 stock split as disclosed in Note 3 to the financial statements.

Other than as disclosed above, no other directors of the Company had an interest in any shares or debentures of the Company or related corporations either at the beginning (or date of appointment, if later) or end of the financial year.

Directors’ Contractual Benefits

Since the end of the previous financial year, no director has received or become entitled to receive a benefit (other than the share options as disclosed above, as disclosed as directors’ remuneration and fees in the accompanying financial statements and except for emoluments received from related corporations) by reason of a contract made by the Company or a related corporation with the director or with a firm of which he is a member or with a company in which he has a substantial financial interest except for any professional fees paid to a firm of which the director is a member as shown in the financial statements.

Dividends

No dividend has been paid or declared since the end of the previous financial year. The directors of the Company do not recommend payment of a dividend during the financial year.

Bad and Doubtful Debts

Before the financial statements of the Company were prepared, the directors took reasonable steps to ensure that proper action had been taken in relation to writing off bad debts and providing for doubtful debts of the Company, and satisfied themselves that all known bad debts had been written off and that adequate provision had been made for doubtful debts.

At the date of this report, the directors are not aware of any circumstances which would render the amount of bad debts written off or the amount of provision for doubtful debts in the group of companies inadequate to any substantial extent.

Current Assets

Before the financial statements of the Company were prepared, the directors took reasonable steps to ensure that any current assets of the Company which were unlikely to realise their book values in the ordinary course of the business had been written down to their estimated realisable values or that adequate provision had been made for the diminution in values of such current assets.

At the date of this report, the directors are not aware of any circumstances which would render the values attributed to current assets in the consolidated financial statements misleading.

S-9

Charges and Contingent Liabilities

At the date of this report, no charge on the assets of the Company or any corporation in the Group has arisen which secures the liabilities of any other person and no contingent liability has arisen since the end of the financial year.

Ability to Meet Obligations

No contingent or other liability of the Company or any corporation in the Group has become enforceable, or is likely to become enforceable, within the period of twelve months after the end of the financial year which will or may affect the ability of the Company and of the Group to meet their obligations as and when they fall due.

Other Circumstances Affecting Financial Statements

At the date of this report, the directors are not aware of any circumstances not otherwise dealt with in this report or the financial statements of the Company and the Group which would render any amount stated in the financial statements and consolidated financial statements misleading.

Unusual Items

In the opinion of the directors, except as disclosed in Note 32 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the results of the operations of the Company and of the Group for the financial year ended 31 March 2001 have not been substantially affected by any item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature.

Unusual Items After the Financial Year

In the opinion of the directors, except as disclosed in Note 41 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements, in the interval between the end of the financial year and the date of this report, no item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature, likely to affect substantially the results of the operations of the Company and of the Group for the financial year in which this report is made, has arisen.

Auditors’ Report to the Members of Flextronics International Ltd.

We have audited the financial statements of the Company and the consolidated financial statements of the Group set out on pages S-15 to S-63. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s directors. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with Singapore Standards on Auditing. Those Standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion:


	(a)	the accompanying financial statements and consolidated financial statements are properly drawn up in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act and Statements of Accounting Standard in Singapore and so as to give a true and fair view of:


	(i)	the state of affairs of the Company and of the Group as at 31 March 2001 and of the results and changes in equity of the Company and of the Group and cash flows of the Group for the year then ended; and

	(ii)	the other matters required by Section 201 of the Act to be dealt with in the financial statements and consolidated financial statements;


	(b)	the accounting and other records and the registers required by the Act to be kept by the Company and by those subsidiaries incorporated in Singapore of which we are the auditors have been properly kept in accordance with the provisions of the Act.

We have considered the financial statements and auditors’ reports of all subsidiaries, of which we have not acted as auditors, being financial statements included in the consolidated financial statements. Details of these subsidiaries are described in Note 9 to the financial statements.

We are satisfied that the financial statements of the subsidiaries that have been consolidated with the financial statements of the Company are in form and content appropriate and proper for the purposes of the preparation of the consolidated financial statements and we have received satisfactory information and explanations as required by us for those purposes.

The auditors’ reports relating to the financial statements of the subsidiaries were not subject to any material qualification and, in respect of subsidiaries incorporated in Singapore, did not include any comment made under Section 207(3) of the Act.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

31 March 2001

(Amounts in Singapore dollars unless otherwise stated)

The following notes are an integral part of and should be read in conjunction with the accompanying financial statements.

1. THE COMPANY, ITS SUBSIDIARIES AND THEIR PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

The Company, which is listed on NASDAQ in the United States of America, is incorporated in Singapore. It is principally engaged in investment holding. The address of the Company’s registered office is 36 Robinson Road, #18-01, City House, Singapore 068877.

The principal activities of the subsidiaries are detailed in Note 9 to the financial statements.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparation

The accounts of the Company and the Group, which are maintained in US dollars, are prepared under the historical cost convention. The financial statements have been prepared by translating the US dollars accounts to Singapore dollars at the exchange rate ruling at the financial year-end, except for share capital and premium, capital reserves and accumulated profits which are translated at historical exchange rates. Operating results are translated at average rates of exchange for the financial year. Exchange differences on currency translation are taken to reserves.

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and all its subsidiaries made up to the end of the financial year. The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the financial year are included in or excluded from the Group financial statements with effect from the respective dates of acquisition or disposal. Significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

The acquisitions of The DII Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“DII”), Palo Alto Products International Pte. Ltd. and its subsidiaries (“PAPI”), Chatham Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Chatham”), Lightning Metal Specialties, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Lightning”), and JIT Holdings Ltd. and its subsidiaries (“JIT”) in financial year 2001 were accounted for as pooling of interests. Accordingly, prior period consolidated financial statements of the Group and the financial statements of the Company have been restated to give retroactive effect to these acquisitions. Under the pooling of interests method, the combined assets, liabilities and reserves of the pooled entities are recorded at their existing carrying amounts at the dates of mergers. The excess or deficiency of the amount recorded as share capital issued over the amount recorded for the share capital acquired is recorded as capital reserves.

DII and Lightning operated under a calendar year end prior to merging with the Group and accordingly, their respective balance sheets, statements of profit and loss, changes in equity and cash flows as of 31 December 1999 and for each of the two years ended 31 December 1999 have been combined with the Group’s consolidated financial statements as of 31 March 2000 and for each of the financial years ended 31 March 2000. Chatham operated under a 30 September financial year end prior to merging with the Group and accordingly, the balance sheets, statements of profit and loss, changes in equity and cash flows as of 30 September 1999 and for each of the two years ended 30 September 1999 have been combined with the Group’s consolidated financial statements as of 31 March 2000 and for each of the two financial years ended 31 March 2000.

(Incorporated in Singapore)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

DII, Chatham and Lightning changed their respective year ends to conform to the Group’s financial year end of 31 March in the current financial year. Accordingly, DII’s and Lightning’s operations for the three months and Chatham’s operations for the six months ended 31 March 2000 have been excluded from the consolidated statements of profit and loss for financial year 2001 and reported as an adjustment to retained earnings.

The acquisitions of Flextronics International Udine S.p.a (formerly known as San Marco Engineering S. r. l) and subsidiaries, and Flextronics Design Finland Oy (formerly known as Sample Rate Systems Oy) were also accounted for as pooling of interests. The historical operations of these entities were not material to the Group’s consolidated operations on either an individual or an aggregate basis; accordingly prior period financial statements have not been restated for these acquisitions.

On acquisition of a subsidiary accounted for using the purchase method, any excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the assets acquired at the date of acquisition is included as goodwill on consolidation and amortized on a straight-line basis. Assets, liabilities and results of overseas subsidiaries are translated into Singapore dollars on the basis outlined in a later paragraph.

Revenue recognition

Revenue from the sale of manufactured products and services are recognized upon passage of title to the customer, which generally coincides with their delivery and passage.

Revenue from contract manufacturing, engineering and design services are recognized based on the percentage of completion method. Any losses are provided for as they become known.

Fixed assets and depreciation

Fixed assets are stated at cost net of accumulated depreciation and impairment loss. The cost of an asset comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to working condition for its intended use. Expenditure for additions, improvements and renewals are capitalized and expenditure for maintenance and repairs are charged to the profit and loss account. When assets are sold or retired, any gain or loss resulting from their disposal is included in the profit and loss account.

Fixed assets are depreciated using the straight-line method to write-off the cost over their estimated useful lives, except freehold land which is generally not depreciated. The estimated useful lives have been taken as follows:


	Years

Leasehold land		25




Building		20 to 50




Leasehold improvements		6 to 10




Plant and equipment		7 to 10




Others		2 to 10

Subsidiaries

Investments in subsidiaries are stated in the financial statements of the Company at cost. Provision is made where there is a decline in value that is other than temporary. See Note 35 for change in accounting policy.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Associated companies

An associated company is defined as a company, not being a subsidiary, in which the Group has a long-term equity interest of not less than 20% and in whose financial and operating policy decisions the Group exercises significant influence.

Investments in associated companies are stated in the Company’s financial statements at cost and provision is made where there is a decline in value that is other than temporary.

The Group’s share of the results of associated companies is included in the consolidated profit and loss account. The Group’s share of the post acquisition reserves of associated companies is included in investments in the consolidated balance sheet. Where the audited accounts are not co-terminus with those of the Group, the share of profits is arrived at from the last audited accounts available and unaudited management accounts to the end of the accounting period.

Other investments

Quoted and unquoted investments are stated at cost. Provision is made where there is a decline in value that is other than temporary.

Dividend income is recorded gross on the date it is declared payable by the investee company.

Goodwill on consolidation

Goodwill on consolidation represents the excess of the purchase price of acquired companies over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill is amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated lives of the benefits received which ranges generally from two to fifteen years. On an annual basis, the Company evaluates recorded goodwill for potential impairment against the current and estimated undiscounted future operating income before goodwill amortization of the business to which the goodwill relates.

Purchased Goodwill

Purchased goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of acquired assets over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill is amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated lives of the benefits received of ten to fourteen years.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets comprise technical agreements, patents, trademarks, developed technologies and identifiable assets in a subsidiary’s assembled work forces, its favorable leases and its customer lists.

Technical agreements are being amortized on a straight-line basis over periods not exceeding five years. Patents and trademarks are being amortized on a straight-line basis over periods not exceeding five years. Purchased developed technologies are being amortized on a straight-line basis over periods not exceeding seven years. The identifiable intangible assets in the subsidiaries related to assembled work forces, its favorable leases and its customer lists are amortized on a straight line basis over the estimated lives of the benefits received of three to ten years.

Deferred expenditure

Deferred expenditure comprises preliminary expenses and is written off to the profit and loss account on a straight-line basis over a three-year period commencing from the date of commercial operations.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Income tax

Income tax expense is determined on the basis of tax effect accounting, using the liability method and is applied to all significant timing differences. Deferred tax benefits are not recognised unless there is reasonable expectation of their realisation.

Stocks

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost comprises direct materials on a first-in-first-out basis and in the case of finished products, includes direct labor and attributable production overheads based on normal levels of activity. Net realizable value represents the estimated selling price less anticipated cost of disposal. Provision is made for deteriorated, damaged, obsolete and slow-moving stocks.

Hire purchase

Where assets are financed by hire purchase agreements that give rights approximating to ownership (finance leases), the assets are capitalized under fixed assets as if they had been purchased during the periods of the leases and the corresponding lease commitments are included under liabilities. Lease payments are treated as consisting of capital and interest elements and the interest is charged to the profit and loss account. Depreciation on the relevant assets is charged to the profit and loss account on the basis outlined.

Foreign currency transactions and balances

The financial statements of the subsidiaries maintained in currencies other than their respective functional currencies are remeasured into their functional currencies. Exchange adjustments arising from the remeasurement process and those resulting from transactions in foreign currencies are included in the statement of profit and loss.

The functional currency balance sheets of the subsidiaries are translated into the Group’s functional currency of US dollars at the rate of exchange prevailing at year end and the functional currency statements of profit and loss are translated at average rates. Adjustments resulting from the translation of the financial statements of these companies from their functional currency into the Group’s functional currency of US dollars, are taken to reserves.

The functional currency consolidated financial statements are translated into the reporting currency, Singapore dollars, using the year end exchange rate to translate assets and liabilities and average rate to translate profit and loss statement items. Exchange differences arising therefrom are taken into reserves.

Forward contracts

The Company enters into forward exchange contracts to hedge underlying transactional currency exposures and does not engage in foreign currency speculation. The credit risk of these forward contracts is minimal since the contracts are with large financial institutions. The Company hedges committed exposures and these forward contracts generally do not subject the Company to risk of accounting losses. The gains and losses on forward contracts generally offset the gains and losses on the assets, liabilities and transactions hedged.

Profits and losses on outstanding forward foreign exchange contracts used for hedging purposes are computed by revaluing these unmatured contracts at the exchange rate prevailing at year end and are dealt with through the statement of profit and loss to match against the exchange differences on the underlying foreign currency exposures being hedged. The premium or discount arising on these foreign exchange contracts is recognised in the statement of profit and loss over the period of the hedge.

Retirement benefits/Pension funds

In accordance with government regulations, certain of the Group’s European subsidiaries are required to contribute employee retirement benefits to pension retirement funds. The contributions are calculated based on a certain percentage of the salaries of the existing employees and are charged to the profit and loss account as incurred.

Segments

The Group operates and is managed internally by four geographic business segments. The operating segments include Asia, Americas, Western and Central Europe. Each operating segment has a regional president that reports to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, who is the chief decision maker.

Segment revenue, expenses and results include transfers between geographical segments. Such transfers are accounted for on an arm’s length basis.

Accounting standards effective after financial year

Statement of Accounting Standards (SAS) No. 22 Business Combinations is effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 October 2000. Had this accounting standard been applied for the current financial year, the acquisitions of DII, PAPI, Chatham, Lightning and JIT would have been accounted for under the purchase method instead of the pooling of interests method, and SAS 36 Impairment of Assets, SAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, and SAS 34 Intangible Assets would have to be adopted to be in compliance with the requirements of SAS 22.

SAS No. 32 Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentation is effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 October 2000. Had this accounting standard been applied for the current financial year, the equity instrument issued to Motorola, Inc. which entitles it to acquire 22 million ordinary shares of the Company at any time through 31 December 2005 upon meeting targeted purchase levels or making additional payments to the Company, would be estimated to have a fair market value of US$386.5 million at the time of issuance using the Black Scholes option pricing model, and would have resulted in an unusual charge equal to the excess of the fair value of the equity instrument over the US$100 million proceeds received.

4. SHARE PREMIUM

The share premium account may be applied only for the purposes specified in the Companies Act. The balance is not available for distribution of dividends except in the form of shares.

An amount of $56,428,000 has been reclassified from the share premium account in the consolidated financial statements to capital reserves. This amount relates to the share premium of certain pooled entities acquired in the prior years which should be classified as capital reserves upon the pooling of interests. Accordingly, prior year comparatives have been restated to conform with current year’s presentation.

5. CAPITAL RESERVES

The Company, which is listed on NASDAQ in the United States of America, also prepares accounts which comply with United States generally accepted accounting principles. These accounts, which are in US dollars, are filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in the United States. During the year ended 31 March 1994, an amount of $254,885, representing the difference between the fair market value at the date of grant of certain share options to selected management employees and the exercise price of the options, was charged to the profit and loss account in compliance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. No such charge was made in the preparation of the Singapore statutory accounts as there is no equivalent accounting standard in Singapore. In order to reduce the revenue reserve to that reported in the accounts prepared in compliance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, an amount of $254,885 was transferred from revenue reserve to capital reserves. Details of the share options granted are detailed in Note 37.

6. DEFERRED STOCK COMPENSATION

Under the DII 1994 Stock Incentive Plan, certain key executives of The DII Group, Inc. (“DII”) were awarded 1,468,320 performance shares during the financial year ended 31 March 1999. These performance shares vest over a period of time, not exceeding eight years. The performance shares vested at an accelerated rate upon the achievement of certain annual earnings per share targets established by DII’s Compensation Committee. These performance shares were not reported as outstanding until vested.

The market value of the performance shares at the date of award was charged to deferred stock compensation, which forms part of shareholders’ equity and was amortized to expense based upon the estimated number of shares expected to be issued in any particular year. The amount was fully amortized by the end of the financial year ended 31 March 2001.

(c)	Senior subordinated notes		1,401,322			519,000			1,401,322		259,500

Term loans, denominated mainly in US$, Euro and Malaysian Ringgit bear interest generally below 8% (2000: 9.0%) per annum, with terms of up to 15 years (2000: 20 years). The term loans are primarily secured by assignment of account receivables and assets.

Certain term loans are secured by mortgages over certain properties with interest rates ranging from 5.0% to 9.0% (2000: 7.4% to 10%) per annum, with terms of up to 10 years (2000: 10 years). The net book value of the underlying mortgaged properties was approximately US$63.4 million as at 31 March 2001 (see Note 8).

In June 2000, the Company issued two senior subordinated notes, consisting of US$500.0 million of 9.875% notes and Euros 150.0 million of 9.75% notes. Interest is payable on 1st January and July of each year, commencing 1 January 2001. The notes mature on 1 July 2010. The Company may redeem the notes on or after 1 July 2005. The fair values of the 9.875% US$ senior subordinated notes and the 9.75% Euro senior subordinated notes based on broker trading prices were 96.5% and 99.0% of the face value on 31 March 2001, respectively.

Additionally, the Company has US$150.0 million in unsecured senior subordinated notes due in 2007 outstanding with an annual interest rate of 8.75%. Interest is payable on 15th April and October of each year. The notes mature on 15 October 2007. The fair value of the unsecured subordinated notes based on broker trading prices was 93.5% of the face value on 31 March 2001.

The indentures relating to the notes contain certain covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of the Company and certain subsidiaries to (i) incur additional debt, (ii) issue or sell stock of certain subsidiaries, (iii) engage in asset sales and (iv) make distributions or pay dividends. The covenants are subject to a number of significant exceptions and limitations.

In April 2000, the Company replaced its existing credit facilities with a US$500.0 million Revolving Credit Facility (“Credit Facility”) from a syndicate of domestic and foreign banks. The Credit Facility consists of two separate credit agreements, one providing for up to US$150.0 million principal amount of revolving credit loans to the Company and designated subsidiaries (“Tranche A”) and one providing for up to US$350.0 million principal amount of revolving credit loans to the Company’s principal United States subsidiaries (“Tranche B”). Both Tranche A and Tranche B are split equally between a 364 days and a three year facility. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at either : (i) the base rate (as defined in the Credit Facility); or (ii) the LIBOR rate (as defined in the Credit Facility) plus the applicable margin for LIBOR loans ranging between 0.625% and 1.75%, based on certain financial ratios of the Company. The Company is required to pay a quarterly commitment fee ranging from 0.15% to 0.375% per annum, based on certain financial ratios of the Company, of the unutilized portion of the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility was amended on 3 April 2001 to provide for an additional 364 day facility with similar terms and conditions.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

The Credit Facility is unsecured and contains certain restrictions on the Company’s ability to (i) incur certain debt, (ii) make certain investments and (iii) make certain acquisitions of other entities. The Credit Facility also requires that the Company maintains certain financial covenants, including, among other things, a maximum ratio of fixed charge coverage, as defined, during the term of the Credit Facility. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries. As of 31 March 2001, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility and the Company was in compliance with the covenants.

Certain subsidiaries in the Group have various lines of credit available with annual interest rates generally ranging from 3.1% to 7.8% (2000: 3.3% to 8.5%). These lines of credit expire on various dates through 2002. These lines of credit are primarily secured by assignment of accounts receivables and assets.

The Company

The current year tax charge of the Company is lower than the amount obtained by applying the statutory income tax rate on profit before taxation mainly due to non-taxable income adjusted for tax purposes.

The Group

The taxation charge for the Group is lower than the amount obtained by applying the statutory income tax rate on profit before taxation mainly due to differences in tax rates applicable to overseas subsidiaries and utilization of investment allowances.

As at 31 March 2001, the Group had unutilised tax losses and unabsorbed capital allowances of approximately $719 million (2000: $272 million) available for offset against future taxable profits, subject to agreement with the income tax authorities and compliance with certain provisions of the tax legislation of the respective countries in which the subsidiaries operate. The potential deferred tax asset arising from these

S-56

FLEXTRONICS INTERNATIONAL LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES

(Incorporated in Singapore)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

unutilised tax losses and unabsorbed capital allowances has not been recognised in the financial statements in accordance with the accounting policy in Note 2 to the financial statements.

Certain subsidiaries have been granted the following tax incentives:


	(i)	Product Export Enterprise incentive for the Shekou and Shenzhen, China facilities. The Company’s operations in Shekou and Shenzhen, People’s Republic of China are located in a “Special Economic Zone” and are approved “Product Export Enterprise” which qualifies for a special corporate income tax rate of 10%. This special tax rate is subject to the subsidiaries’ exporting more than 70% of its total value of products manufactured in the People’s Republic of China. The subsidiaries’ status as a Product Export Enterprise is reviewed annually by the Chinese government.

	(ii)	The Company’s investments in its plants in Xixiang, People’s Republic of China and Doumen, People’s Republic of China fall under the “Foreign Investment Scheme” that entitles the subsidiaries to apply for a five-year tax incentive. The Company obtained the incentive for the Doumen plant in December 1995 and the Xixiang plant in October 1996. With the approval of the Chinese tax authorities, the subsidiaries’ tax rates on income from these facilities during the incentive period will be 0% in years 1 and 2 and 7.5% in years 3 through 5, commencing in the first profitable year. The Company has another plant in Doumen which commenced operations in the fiscal year 1998. The plant which falls under the “Foreign Investment Scheme” is confident that the five year tax incentive will be granted upon formal application in its first profitable year. However, there can be no assurance that the five year tax incentive will be granted.

	(iii)	Ten-year negotiated tax holiday is granted by the Hungarian government for its Hungarian subsidiaries. This incentive provides for the reduction of the regular tax rate to zero percent, beginning January 1, 2000.

	(iv)	A portion of the Group’s sales was also carried out by its Mauritius subsidiary, which is taxed at 0%.

35. CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICY

During the financial year, the Company changed its accounting policy for investments in subsidiaries. Investments in subsidiaries were previously revalued by the directors at balance sheet dates at amounts equal to the attributable net assets of the subsidiaries concerned based on their audited accounts, and any excess of the attributable net assets over the cost were credited to Revaluation Reserve.

In the current year, the directors decided to change the accounting policy for investments to recording at cost. This resulted in the reversal of the revaluation reserve against the investment account. Prior year comparative figures have also been retroactively restated to reflect this change in accounting policy. There was no material impact on the financial position or profit and loss of the Company and of the Group from this change. Revaluation reserve of $227,650,000 and retained earnings of $27,137,000 were reversed against investments to reflect the actual costs of investments.

ANNEX A

Charter of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors

Objective:

The overall objective of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board of Directors in fulfilling its fiduciary responsibilities as to accounting controls and policies as well as reviewing the Company’s internal and external reporting practices. The Committee serves as a representative of the Board of Directors in its dealings with the outside independent auditors, the internal auditors, and Company management.

The Committee is to be the Board’s principal agent in reviewing and evaluating the independence of the Company’s independent auditors, the objectivity of the internal auditor, the integrity of management, and the adequacy of disclosure to the Company’s shareholders, potential shareholders, and the investment community. The existence of the Audit Committee is not intended, however, to restrict access to the full Board by the Company’s independent auditors. While the Audit Committee has the responsibilities and powers set forth in this charter, it is not the duty of the Committee to plan or conduct audits or to determine that the Company’s financial statements are complete and accurate and are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. This is the responsibility of management and the Company’s independent auditors. Nor is it the duty of the Committee to conduct investigations, to resolve disagreements, if any, between management and its independent auditors or to assure compliance with laws and regulations and the Company’s policies and procedures.

Structure and Procedures:

The Audit Committee shall be appointed by the Board of Directors, with its chairman to be selected by the Board of Directors. Until June 13, 2001, the Audit Committee shall consist of at least two members of the Board of Directors. At least a majority of the members shall be persons who are not officers or employees of the Company or any subsidiary and who do not have any other relationship which, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. As of June 14, 2001, the Audit Committee shall consist of three or more members of the Board of Directors, with the exact number being determined by the Board of Directors. Each member of the Audit Committee shall be “independent” as defined by the rules of The NASDAQ Stock Market, as they may be amended from time to time, except as otherwise permitted by such Rules, and no member of the Audit Committee shall otherwise be an insider of the Company. In selecting members of the Audit Committee, the Board shall give consideration to each nominee’s capacity to serve, business experience, knowledge of Company operations, finance, accounting, and auditing, facility in obtaining information by inquiry, and commitment and available time. Each member of the Committee shall have the ability to read and understand fundamental financial statements and at least one member shall have prior experience in accounting, financial management or financial oversight, as required by the Rules.

The Committee shall meet a minimum of two times per year and as scheduled by the Committee Chairman. At the request of the Committee, meetings may be held with members of management or the Company’s internal auditing staff or responsiveness to the Company’s independent auditors or consultants. Any non-committee outside Board members who so requests may attend any meeting of the Audit Committee.

The activities and findings of the Committee shall be reported to the Board and minutes of the Committee meetings shall be prepared and sent to each member of the Board.

The Committee shall advise the independent auditors, members of the internal audit staff, and any other member of management or employee, that they may communicate directly with any member of the Committee on a confidential basis.

This review is to encompass:


	•	Changes, if any, made or proposed by the government, accounting profession, or the Company relating to accounting principals and their applications, that could materially affect the Company.

	•	Significant issues reviewed by in-house and outside counsel concerning litigation, contingencies, claims, or assessments.

	•	Significant adjustments proposed by the independent auditors.

		quality and appropriateness of the Company’s accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments, and the clarity of the disclosures in the Company’s financial statements.

	•	Inquiry of the independent auditors as to whether there have been any disagreements with management which if not satisfactorily resolved would have caused them to issue a nonstandard report on the Company’s financial statements.


	(k)	Review unusual reporting issues prior to the issuance of the year end press release.

	(l)	Communicate with the auditors about the Company’s expectations regarding its relationship with the auditors, including the following: (i) the independent auditors’ ultimate accountability to the Board and the Committee, as representatives of the Company’s stockholders; and (ii) the ultimate authority and responsibility of the Board and the Committee to select, evaluate and, where appropriate, replace the independent auditors.

3. Corporate Compliance

The Committee shall conduct such review as it deems appropriate for the Company’s controls against employee conflict of interest and fraud and compliance with related laws. Without limitation and as it deems appropriate, the Committee shall:

A-3

	(a)	Discuss with the independent auditors the quality of the Company’s financial and accounting personnel and any relevant recommendations that the independent auditors may have, including those in their “Report to Management.”

	(b)	Review the extent of non-audit services provided by the independent auditors in relation to the objectivity needed in the audit. Additionally review, with management, the rationale for using audit firms other than the principal audit firm.

	(c)	Evaluate the cooperation received by the independent auditors during their audit examination, including the access to all requested records, data, and information and elicit the comments of management regarding the responsiveness of the independent auditors to the Company’s needs.

	(d)	Review and reassess the adequacy of the Committee’s charter at least annually. Submit the charter to the Company’s Board of Directors for review and include a copy of the charter as an appendix to the Company’s proxy statement as required by the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, as they may be amended from time to time (currently, once every three years).

The Audit Committee shall have such other responsibilities as may be assigned to it from time to time by the Board of Directors. In addition, the Audit Committee shall annually review its charter and recommend to the Board of Directors any modifications in its duties and responsibilities.

FLEXTRONICS INTERNATIONAL LTD.

2001 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

As Adopted August 13, 2001

1. PURPOSE. The purpose of this Plan is to provide incentives to attract, retain and motivate eligible persons whose present and potential contributions are important to the success of the Company, its Parent and Subsidiaries, by offering them an opportunity to participate in the Company’s future performance through awards of Options. Capitalized terms not defined in the text are defined in Section 20.

2. SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN.

2.1 Number of Shares Available. Subject to Sections 2.2 and 15, the total number of Shares reserved and available for grant and issuance pursuant to this Plan will be 7,000,000 Shares plus shares that are subject to issuance upon exercise of an Option but cease to be subject to such Option for any reason other than exercise or surrender of such Option. In addition, any authorized shares not issued or subject to outstanding grants under the Company’s 1993 Share Option Plan (the “Prior Plan”) that are forfeited or that are issuable upon exercise of options granted pursuant to the Prior Plan that expire or become unexercisable for any reason without having been exercised in full, will no longer be available for grant and issuance under the Prior Plan, but will be available for grant and issuance under this Plan. At all times the Company shall reserve and keep available a sufficient number of Shares as shall be required to satisfy the requirements of all outstanding Options granted under this Plan.

2.2 Adjustment of Shares. Should any change be made to the Shares issuable under the Plan by reason of any bonus issue, stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of shares or other change affecting the outstanding Shares as a class without the Company’s receipt of consideration, then appropriate adjustments shall be made to (i) the maximum number and/or class of securities issuable under the Plan, (ii) the maximum number and/or class of securities for which any Participant may be granted Options over the term of the Plan, (iii) the number and/or class of securities and price per Share in effect under each Option outstanding under Section 5 and 7, and (iv) the class of securities for which automatic Option grants are to be subsequently made to newly elected or continuing Outside Directors under Section 7. Such adjustments to the outstanding Options are to be effected in a manner which shall preclude the enlargement or dilution of rights and benefits under such options, provided, however, that (i) fractions of a Share will not be issued but will be replaced by a cash payment equal to the Fair Market Value of such fraction of a Share, as determined by the Committee, and (ii) no such adjustment shall be made if as a result, the Exercise Price would fall below the par value of a Share and if such adjustment would but for this paragraph (ii) result in the Exercise Price being less than the par value of a Share, the Exercise Price payable shall be the par value of a Share. The adjustments determined by the Committee shall be final, binding and conclusive. The repricing, replacement or regranting of any previously granted Option, through cancellation or by lowering the Exercise Price of such Option, shall be prohibited unless the shareholders of the Company first approve such repricing, replacement or regranting.

3. ELIGIBILITY. All Awards may be granted to employees, officers and directors of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company. No person will be eligible to receive more than 4,000,000 Shares in any calendar year under this Plan pursuant to the grant of Awards hereunder; provided, however, that no Outside Director will be eligible to receive more than 50,000 Shares, in the aggregate, in any calendar year under this Plan pursuant to the grant of Awards hereunder. A person may be granted more than one Award under this Plan.

	(f)	determine whether Awards will be granted singly, in combination with, in tandem with, in replacement of, or as alternatives to, other Awards under this Plan or any other incentive or compensation plan of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company;


	(g)	grant waivers of Plan or Award conditions;

	(h)	determine the vesting, exercisability and payment of Awards;


	(i)	correct any defect, supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in this Plan, any Award or any Award Agreement;

	(j)	determine whether an Award has been earned; and


	(k)	make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of this Plan.

4.2 Committee Discretion. Except for automatic grants to Outside Directors pursuant to Section 7 hereof, any determination made by the Committee with respect to any Award will be made in its sole discretion at the time of grant of the Award or, unless in contravention of any express term of this Plan or Award, at any later time, and such determination will be final and binding on the Company and on all persons having an interest in any Award under this Plan. The Committee may delegate to one or more officers of the Company the authority to grant an Award under this Plan to Participants who are not Insiders of the Company.

5. OPTIONS. The Committee may grant Options to eligible persons and will determine whether such Options will be Incentive Stock Options within the meaning of the Code (“ISO”) or Nonqualified Stock Options (“NQSOs”), the number of Shares subject to the Option, the Exercise Price of the Option, the period during which the Option may be exercised, and all other terms and conditions of the Option, subject to the following:


	5.1 Form of Option Grant. Each Option granted under this Plan will be evidenced by an Award Agreement which will expressly identify the Option as an ISO or an NQSO (*“Stock Option Agreement”*), and, except as otherwise required by the terms of Section 7 hereof, will be in such form and contain such provisions (which need not be the same for each Participant) as the Committee may from time to time approve, and which will comply with and be subject to the terms and conditions of this Plan.

	5.2 Date of Grant. The date of grant of an Option will be the date on which the Committee makes the determination to grant such Option, unless otherwise specified by the Committee. The Stock Option Agreement and a copy of this Plan will be delivered to the Participant within a reasonable time after the granting of the Option.

	5.3 Exercise Period. Options may be exercisable within the times or upon the events determined by the Committee as set forth in the Stock Option Agreement governing such Option; provided, however,

B-2


	that no Option will be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years from the date the Option is granted; and provided further that (i) no ISO granted to a person who directly or by attribution owns more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of shares or stock of the Company or of any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company (*“Ten Percent Shareholder”*) will be exercisable after the expiration of five (5) years from the date the ISO is granted and (ii) no Option granted to a person who is not an employee of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company on the date of grant of that Option will be exercisable after the expiration of five (5) years from the date the Option is granted. The Committee also may provide for Options to become exercisable at one time or from time to time, periodically or otherwise, in such number of Shares or percentage of Shares as the Committee determines.

	5.4 Exercise Price. The Exercise Price of an Option will be determined by the Committee when the Option is granted; provided that: (i) the Exercise Price will be not less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of grant; and (ii) the Exercise Price of any ISO granted to a Ten Percent Shareholder will not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of grant. In no event may the Exercise Price of an Option be less than the par value of the Shares. Payment for the Shares purchased may be made in accordance with Section 6 of this Plan.

	5.5 Method of Exercise. Options may be exercised only by delivery to the Company (or as the Company may direct) of a written stock option exercise agreement (the *“Exercise Agreement”) in a form approved by the Committee (which need not be the same for each Participant), stating the number of Shares being purchased, the restrictions imposed on the Shares purchased under such Exercise Agreement, if any, and such representations and agreements regarding Participant’s investment intent and access to information and other matters, if any, as may be required or desirable by the Company to comply with applicable securities laws, together with payment in full of the Exercise Price for the number of Shares being purchased. An Exercise Agreement may be communicated electronically through the use of such security device as may be designated by the Committee for use in conjunction with this Plan from time to time (“Security Device”*), or via an electronic page, site, or environment designated by the Company which is accessible only through the use of such Security Device, and such Exercise Agreement shall thereby be deemed to have been sent by the designated holder of such Security Device. The Company may accept and act upon any Exercise Agreement issued and/or transmitted through the use of the Participant’s Security Device (whether actually authorized by the Participant or not) as his authentic and duly authorized Exercise Agreement and the Company may treat such Exercise Agreement as valid and binding on the Participant notwithstanding any error, fraud, forgery, lack of clarity or misunderstanding in the terms of such Exercise Agreement. All Exercise Agreements issued and/or transmitted through the use of the Participant’s Security Device (whether actually authorized by the Participant or not) are irrevocable and binding on the Participant upon transmission to the Company (or as the Company may direct) and the Company shall be entitled to effect, perform or process such Exercise Agreement without the Participant’s further consent and without further reference to the Participant. The Company’s records of the Exercise Agreements, and its record of any transactions maintained by any relevant person authorized by the Company relating to or connected with the Plan, whether stored in electronic or printed form, shall be binding and conclusive on the Participant and shall be conclusive evidence of such Exercise Agreements and/or transactions. All such records shall be admissible in evidence and the Participant shall not challenge or dispute the admissibility, reliability, accuracy or the authenticity of the contents of such records merely on the basis that such records were incorporated and/or set out in electronic form or were produced by or are the output of a computer system, and the Participant waives any of his rights (if any) to so object.

5.6 Termination. Notwithstanding the exercise periods set forth in the Stock Option Agreement, exercise of an Option will always be subject to the following:


	(a)	If the Participant is Terminated for any reason except death or Disability, then the Participant may exercise such Participant’s Options only to the extent that such Options would have been exercisable upon the Termination Date no later than three (3) months after the Termination Date (or such shorter or longer time period not exceeding five (5)

B-3


		years as may be determined by the Committee, provided, that any Option which is exercised beyond three (3) months after the Termination Date shall be deemed to be an NQSO), but in any event, no later than the expiration date of the Options.

	(b)	If the Participant is Terminated because of the Participant’s death or Disability (or the Participant dies within three (3) months after a Termination other than for Cause or because of the Participant’s Disability), then the Participant’s Options may be exercised only to the extent that such Options would have been exercisable by the Participant on the Termination Date and must be exercised by the Participant (or the Participant’s legal representative or authorized assignee) no later than twelve (12) months after the Termination Date (or such shorter or longer time period not exceeding five (5) years as may be determined by the Committee, provided, that any Option which is exercised beyond twelve (12) months after the Termination Date when the Termination is for Participant’s Disability, shall be deemed to be an NQSO), but in any event no later than the expiration date of the Options.

	(c)	If the Participant is terminated for Cause, then the Participant’s Options shall expire on such Participant’s Termination Date, or at such later time and on such conditions as are determined by the Committee (but in any event, no later than the expiration date of the Options).


	5.7 Limitations on Exercise. The Committee may specify a reasonable minimum number of Shares that may be purchased on any exercise of an Option, provided that such minimum number will not prevent Participant from exercising the Option for the full number of Shares for which it is then exercisable.

	5.8 Limitations on ISO. The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the date of grant) of Shares with respect to which ISO are exercisable for the first time by a Participant during any calendar year (under this Plan or under any other incentive stock option plan of the Company, Parent or Subsidiary of the Company) will not exceed US$100,000. If the Fair Market Value of Shares on the date of grant with respect to which ISO are exercisable for the first time by a Participant during any calendar year exceeds US$100,000, then the Options for the first US$100,000 worth of Shares to become exercisable in such calendar year will be ISO and the Options for the amount in excess of US$100,000 that become exercisable in that calendar year will be NQSOs. In the event that the Code or the regulations promulgated thereunder are amended after the Effective Date of this Plan to provide for a different limit on the Fair Market Value of Shares permitted to be subject to ISO, such different limit will be automatically incorporated herein and will apply to any Options granted after the effective date of such amendment.

	5.9 Modification, Extension or Renewal. The Committee may modify, extend or renew outstanding Options and authorize the grant of new Options in substitution therefor, provided that any such action may not, without the written consent of a Participant, impair any of such Participant’s rights under any Option previously granted, and provided further that the exercise period of any Option may not in any event be extended beyond the periods specified in Section 5.3. Any outstanding ISO that is modified, extended, renewed or otherwise altered will be treated in accordance with Section 424(h) of the Code.

	5.10 No Disqualification. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Plan, no term of this Plan relating to ISO will be interpreted, amended or altered, nor will any discretion or authority granted under this Plan be exercised, so as to disqualify this Plan under Section 422 of the Code or, without the consent of the Participant affected, to disqualify any ISO under Section 422 of the Code.

B-4

6. PAYMENT FOR SHARE PURCHASES.

6.1 Payment. Payment for Shares purchased pursuant to this Plan may be made in cash (by check) or, where expressly approved for the Participant by the Committee and where permitted by law:


	(a)	by cancellation of indebtedness of the Company to the Participant;

	(b)	by waiver of compensation due or accrued to the Participant for services rendered;

	(c)	with respect only to purchases upon exercise of an Option, and provided that a public market for the Company’s Shares exists:


	(1)	through a “same day sale” commitment from the Participant and a broker-dealer that is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers (an *“NASD Dealer”*) whereby the Participant irrevocably elects to exercise the Option and to sell a portion of the Shares so purchased to pay for the Exercise Price, and whereby the NASD Dealer irrevocably commits upon receipt of such Shares to forward the Exercise Price directly to the Company; or

	(2)	through a “margin” commitment from the Participant and a NASD Dealer whereby the Participant irrevocably elects to exercise the Option and to pledge the Shares so purchased to the NASD Dealer in a margin account as security for a loan from the NASD Dealer in the amount of the Exercise Price, and whereby the NASD Dealer irrevocably commits upon receipt of such Shares to forward the Exercise Price directly to the Company;


	(d)	conversion of a convertible note issued by the Company, the terms of which provide that it is convertible into Shares issuable pursuant to the Plan (with the principal amount and any accrued interest being converted and credited dollar for dollar to the payment of the Exercise Price); or

	(e)	by any combination of the foregoing.

7. AUTOMATIC GRANTS TO OUTSIDE DIRECTORS.

7.1 Types of Options and Shares. Options granted under this Plan and subject to this Section 7 shall be NQSOs.

7.2 Eligibility. Options subject to this Section 7 shall be granted only to Outside Directors. In no event, however, may any Outside Director be granted any Options under this Section 7 if such grant is (a) prohibited, or (b) restricted (either absolutely or subject to various securities requirements, whether legal or administrative, being complied with), in the jurisdiction in which such Outside Director is resident under the relevant securities laws of that jurisdiction.

7.3 Initial Grant. Each Outside Director who first becomes a member of the Board after the Effective Date will automatically be granted an Option for 20,000 Shares (an “Initial Grant”) on the date such Outside Director first becomes a member of the Board. Each Outside Director who became a member of the Board on or prior to the Effective Date and who did not receive a prior option grant (under this Plan or otherwise and from the Company or any of its corporate predecessors) will receive an Initial Grant on the Effective Date.

7.4 Succeeding Grant. Immediately following each Annual General Meeting of shareholders of the Company, each Outside Director will automatically be granted an Option for 6,000 Shares (a “Succeeding Grant”), provided, that the Outside Director is a member of the Board on such date and has served continuously as a member of the Board for a period of at least twelve (12) months since the last Option grant (whether an Initial Grant or a Succeeding Grant) to such Outside Director. If less than twelve (12) months has passed, then the number of shares subject to the Succeeding Grant will be pro-rated based on the number of days passed since the last Option grant to such Outside Director, divided by 365 days.

7.5 Vesting and Exercisability. The date an Outside Director receives an Initial Grant or a Succeeding Grant is referred to in this Plan as the “Start Date” for such Option.

B-5


	(a)	Initial Grant. Each Initial Grant will vest and be exercisable as to 25% of the Shares on the first one year anniversary of the Start Date for such Initial Grant, and thereafter as to 1/48 of the Shares at the end of each full succeeding month, so long as the Outside Director continuously remains a director or a consultant of the Company.

	(b)	Succeeding Grant. Each Succeeding Grant will vest and be exercisable as to 25% of the Shares on the first one year anniversary of the Start Date for such Succeeding Grant, and thereafter as to 1/48 of the Shares at the end of each full succeeding month, so long as the Outside Director continuously remains a director or a consultant of the Company.

No Options granted to an Outside Director will be exercisable after the expiration of five (5) years from the date the Option is granted to such Outside Director. If the Outside Director is Terminated, the Outside Director may exercise such Outside Director’s Options only to the extent that such Options would have been exercisable upon the Termination Date for such period as set forth in Section 5.6. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, in the event of a Corporate Transaction described in Section 15.1, the vesting of all Options granted to Outside Directors pursuant to this Section 7 will accelerate and such Options will become exercisable in full prior to the consummation of such event at such times and on such conditions as the Committee determines, and must be exercised, if at all, within three (3) months of the consummation of said event. Any Options not exercised within such three-month period shall expire. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, in the event of a Hostile Take-Over, the Outside Director shall have a thirty-day period in which to surrender to the Company each option held by him or her under this Plan for a period of at least six (6) months. The Outside Director shall in return be entitled to a cash distribution from the Company in an amount equal to the excess of (i) the Take-Over Price of the Shares at the time subject to the surrendered Option (whether or not the Option is otherwise at the time exercisable for those Shares) over (ii) the aggregate Exercise Price payable for such Shares. Such cash distribution shall be paid within five (5) days following the surrender of the Option to the Company. Neither the approval of the Committee nor the consent of the Board shall be required in connection with such option surrender and cash distribution. The Shares subject to each Option surrendered in connection with the Hostile Take-Over shall not be available for subsequent issuance under the Plan.

7.6 Exercise Price. The Exercise Price of an Option pursuant to an Initial Grant and Succeeding Grant shall be the Fair Market Value of the Shares, at the time that the Option is granted.

8. WITHHOLDING TAXES.

8.1 Withholding Generally. Whenever Shares are to be issued in satisfaction of Awards granted under this Plan, the Company may require the Participant to remit to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state and local withholding tax requirements prior to the delivery of any certificate or certificates for such Shares. Whenever, under this Plan, payments in satisfaction of Awards are to be made in cash, such payment will be net of an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, and local withholding tax requirements.

8.2 Stock Withholding. When, under applicable tax laws, a Participant incurs tax liability in connection with the exercise or vesting of any Award that is subject to tax withholding and the Participant is obligated to pay the Company the amount required to be withheld, the Committee may in its sole discretion, and subject to compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, allow the Participant to satisfy the minimum withholding tax obligation by electing to have the Company withhold from the Shares to be issued that number of Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum amount required to be withheld, determined on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined. All elections by a Participant to have Shares withheld for this purpose will be made in accordance with the requirements established by the Committee and be in writing in a form acceptable to the Committee.

9. TRANSFERABILITY.

9.1 Except as otherwise provided in this Section 9, Awards granted under this Plan, and any interest therein, will not be transferable or assignable by a Participant, and may not be made subject to execution, attachment or similar process, otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or as determined by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement with respect to Awards.

B-6

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Participants may transfer or assign their Options to Family Members through a gift or a domestic relations order (and not in a transfer for value), and (ii) if the terms of the applicable instrument evidencing the grant of an Option so provide, Participants who reside outside of the United States and Singapore may assign their Options to a financial institution outside of the United States and Singapore that has been approved by the Committee, in accordance with the terms of the applicable instrument, subject to Code regulations providing that any transfer of an ISO may cause such ISO to become a NQSO. The Participant shall be solely responsible for effecting any such assignment, and for ensuring that such assignment is valid, legal and binding under all applicable laws. The Committee shall have the discretion to adopt such rules as it deems necessary to ensure that any assignment is in compliance with all applicable laws.

9.2 All Awards other than NQSO’s. All Awards other than NQSO’s shall be exercisable: (i) during the Participant’s lifetime, only by (A) the Participant, or (B) the Participant’s guardian or legal representative; and (ii) after Participant’s death, by the legal representative of the Participant’s heirs or legatees.

9.3 NQSOs. Unless otherwise restricted by the Committee, an NQSO shall be exercisable: (i) during the Participant’s lifetime only by (A) the Participant, (B) the Participant’s guardian or legal representative, (C) a Family Member of the Participant who has acquired the NQSO by “permitted transfer;” and (ii) after Participant’s death, by the legal representative of the Participant’s heirs or legatees. “Permitted transfer” means, as authorized by this Plan and the Committee in an NQSO, any transfer effected by the Participant during the Participant’s lifetime of an interest in such NQSO but only such transfers which are by gift or domestic relations order. A permitted transfer does not include any transfer for value and neither of the following are transfers for value: (a) a transfer under a domestic relations order in settlement of marital property rights or (b) a transfer to an entity in which more than fifty percent of the voting interests are owned by Family Members or the Participant in exchange for an interest in that entity.

10. PRIVILEGES OF STOCK OWNERSHIP. No Participant will have any of the rights of a shareholder with respect to any Shares until the Shares are issued to the Participant. After Shares are issued to the Participant, the Participant will be a shareholder and have all the rights of a shareholder with respect to such Shares, including the right to vote and receive all dividends or other distributions made or paid with respect to such Shares.

11. CERTIFICATES. All certificates for Shares or other securities delivered under this Plan will be subject to such stock transfer orders, legends and other restrictions as the Committee may deem necessary or advisable, including restrictions under any applicable federal, state or foreign securities law, or any rules, regulations and other requirements of the SEC or any stock exchange or automated quotation system upon which the Shares may be listed or quoted.

12. EXCHANGE AND BUYOUT OF AWARDS. The Committee may, at any time or from time to time and subject to compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, authorize the Company, with the consent of the respective Participants, to issue new Awards in exchange for the surrender and cancellation of any or all outstanding Awards. The Committee may at any time and subject to compliance with all applicable laws and regulations buy from a Participant an Award previously granted with payment in cash, Shares or other consideration, based on such terms and conditions as the Committee and the Participant may agree.

13. SECURITIES LAW AND OTHER REGULATORY COMPLIANCE. An Award will not be effective unless such Award is in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws, rules and regulations of any governmental body, and the requirements of any stock exchange or automated quotation system upon which the Shares may then be listed or quoted, as they are in effect on the date of grant of the Award and also on the date of exercise or other issuance. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Plan, the Company will have no obligation to issue or deliver certificates for Shares under this Plan prior to: (a) obtaining any approvals from governmental agencies that the Company determines are necessary or advisable; and/or (b) completion of any registration or other qualification of such Shares under any state or federal law or ruling of any governmental body that the Company determines to be necessary or advisable. The Company will be under no obligation to register the Shares with the SEC or to effect compliance with the

B-7

registration, qualification or listing requirements of any state securities laws, stock exchange or automated quotation system, and the Company will have no liability for any inability or failure to do so.

14. NO OBLIGATION TO EMPLOY. Nothing in this Plan or any Award granted under this Plan will confer or be deemed to confer on any Participant any right to continue in the employ of, or to continue any other relationship with, the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company to terminate Participant’s employment or other relationship at any time, with or without cause.

15. CORPORATE TRANSACTIONS.

15.1 Assumption or Replacement of Awards by Successor. Except for automatic grants to Outside Directors pursuant to Section 7 hereof, in the event of (a) a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, (b) a merger or consolidation or similar transaction in which the Company is not the surviving corporation (other than a merger or consolidation with a wholly-owned subsidiary, a reincorporation of the Company in a different jurisdiction, or other transaction in which there is no substantial change in the shareholders of the Company or their relative shareholdings and the Awards granted under this Plan are assumed, converted or replaced by the successor corporation, which assumption will be binding on all Participants), (c) a merger or similar transaction in which the Company is the surviving corporation but after which the shareholders of the Company immediately prior to such merger (other than any shareholder that merges, or which owns or controls another corporation that merges, with the Company in such merger) cease to own their shares or other equity interest in the Company, (d) the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company, or (e) the acquisition, sale, or transfer of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Company by tender offer or similar transaction (each, a “Corporate Transaction”), each Option which is at the time outstanding under this Plan shall automatically accelerate so that each such Option shall, immediately prior to the specified effective date for the Corporate Transaction, become fully exercisable with respect to the total number of Shares at the time subject to such Option and may be exercised for all or any portion of such Shares. However, subject to the specific terms of a Participant’s Award Agreement, an outstanding Option under this Plan shall not so accelerate if and to the extent: (i) such Option is, in connection with the Corporate Transaction, either to be assumed by the successor corporation or parent thereof or to be replaced with a comparable Option to purchase shares of the capital stock of the successor corporation or parent thereof, (ii) such Option is to be replaced with a cash incentive program of the successor corporation which preserves the Option spread existing at the time of the Corporate Transaction and provides for subsequent payout in accordance with the same vesting schedule applicable to such Option or (iii) the acceleration of such Option is subject to other limitations imposed by the Committee at the time of the Option grant. The determination of Option comparability under clause (i) above shall be made by the Committee, and its determination shall be final, binding and conclusive.

15.2 Other Treatment of Awards. Subject to any greater rights granted to Participants under the foregoing provisions of this Section 15 or other specific terms of a Participant’s Award Agreement, in the event of the occurrence of any Corporate Transaction described in Section 15.1, any outstanding Awards will be treated as provided in the applicable agreement or plan of merger, consolidation, dissolution, liquidation, or sale of assets.

15.3 Assumption of Awards by the Company. The Company, from time to time, also may substitute or assume outstanding awards granted by another company, whether in connection with an acquisition of such other company or otherwise, by either; (a) granting an Award under this Plan in substitution of such other company’s award; or (b) assuming such award as if it had been granted under this Plan if the terms of such assumed award could be applied to an Award granted under this Plan. Such substitution or assumption will be permissible if the holder of the substituted or assumed award would have been eligible to be granted an Award under this Plan if the other company had applied the rules of this Plan to such grant. In the event the Company assumes an award granted by another company, the terms and conditions of such award will remain unchanged (except that the Exercise Price and the number and nature of Shares issuable upon exercise of any such Option will be adjusted appropriately pursuant to Section 424(a) of the Code). In the event the

B-8

Company elects to grant a new Option rather than assuming an existing Option, such new Option may be granted with a similarly adjusted Exercise Price.

16. ADOPTION AND SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL. This Plan will become effective on the date on which the Board adopts the Plan (the “Effective Date”). This Plan shall be approved by the shareholders of the Company (excluding Shares issued pursuant to this Plan), consistent with applicable laws, within twelve (12) months before or after the date this Plan is adopted by the Board. Upon the Effective Date, the Committee may grant Awards pursuant to this Plan; provided, however, that: (a) no Option may be exercised prior to initial shareholder approval of this Plan; (b) no Option granted pursuant to an increase in the number of Shares subject to this Plan approved by the Board will be exercised prior to the time such increase has been approved by the shareholders of the Company; (c) in the event that initial shareholder approval is not obtained within the time period provided herein, all Awards granted hereunder shall be cancelled; and (d) in the event that shareholder approval of such increase is not obtained within the time period provided herein, all Awards granted pursuant to such increase will be cancelled.

17. TERM OF PLAN/ GOVERNING LAW. Unless earlier terminated as provided herein, this Plan will terminate ten (10) years from the date this Plan is adopted by the Board or, if earlier, the date of shareholder approval. This Plan and all agreements thereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California.

18. AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF PLAN. The Board has complete and exclusive power and authority to amend or modify the Plan (or any component thereof) in any or all respects whatsoever. However, (i) no such amendment or modification shall adversely affect rights and obligations with respect to Options at the time outstanding under the Plan, unless the Participant consents to such amendment, and (ii) the automatic grants to Outside Directors pursuant to Section 7 may not be amended at intervals more frequently than once every six (6) months, other than to the extent necessary to comply with applicable U.S. income tax laws and regulations. In addition, the Board may not, without the approval of the Company’s shareholders, amend the Plan to (i) materially increase the maximum number of Shares issuable under the Plan or the number of Shares for which Options may be granted per newly-elected or continuing Outside Director or the maximum number of Shares for which any one individual participating in the Plan may be granted Options, (ii) materially modify the eligibility requirements for plan participation or (iii) materially increase the benefits accruing to Participants.

The Board may at any time terminate or amend this Plan in any respect, including without limitation amendment of any form of Award Agreement or instrument to be executed pursuant to this Plan; provided, however, that the Board will not, without the approval of the shareholders of the Company, amend this Plan in any manner that requires such shareholder approval.

19. NONEXCLUSIVITY OF THE PLAN. Neither the adoption of this Plan by the Board, the submission of this Plan to the shareholders of the Company for approval, nor any provision of this Plan will be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board to adopt such additional compensation arrangements as it may deem desirable, including, without limitation, the granting of stock options and bonuses otherwise than under this Plan, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.
