The relationship is not exclusive and does not require that Motorola purchase any specific volumes of products or services from the Company. The Company's ability to achieve any of the anticipated benefits of this relationship is subject to a number of risks, including its ability to provide services on a competitive basis and to expand manufacturing resources, as well as demand for Motorola's products. In connection with this strategic alliance, Motorola will paypaid $100.0 million for an equity instrument that entitles it to acquire 11,000,00022,000,000 Flextronics ordinary shares at any time through December 31, 2005 upon meeting targeted purchase levels or making additional payments to the Company.

As a result, the one-time non-cash charge amounted to approximately $286.5 million offset by a corresponding credit to additional paid-in capital in the first quarter of fiscal 2001.

We will continue to review opportunities to acquire OEM manufacturing operations and enter into business combinations and selectively pursue strategic transactions that we believe will further our business objectives. We have recently begun to structure our business combinations as purchases rather than pooling of interests. We are currently in preliminary discussions to acquire additional businesses and facilities. We cannot assure the terms of, or that we will complete, such acquisitions, and our ability to obtain the benefits of such combinations and transactions is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including our ability to successfully integrate the acquired operations and our ability to maintain and increase sales to customers of the acquired companies. See "Risk Factors --- We may encounter difficultiesMay Encounter Difficulties with acquisitions, which could harmAcquisitions, Which Could Harm our business"Business". Other Strategic Transactions On May 30, 2000, the Companywe entered into a strategic alliance for product manufacturing with Motorola. This alliance provides incentives for Motorola to purchase approximatelyup to $32.0 billion of products and services from us through December 31, 2005. The Company anticipatesWe anticipate that this relationship will encompass a wide range of products, including cellular phones, pagers, set-top boxes and infrastructure equipment, and will involve a broad range of services, including design, PCB fabrication and assembly, plastics, enclosures and supply chain services. The relationship is not exclusive and does not require that Motorola purchase any specific volumes of products or services from the Company. The Company'sOur ability to achieve any of the anticipated benefits of this relationship is subject to a number of risks, including itsour ability to provide services on a competitive basis and to expand manufacturing resources, as well as demand for Motorola's products. In connection with this strategic alliance, Motorola will paypaid $100.0 million for an equity instrument that entitles it to acquire 11,000,000 Flextronics22,000,000 of our ordinary shares at any time through December 31, 2005 upon meeting targeted purchase levels or making additional payments to the Company.us. The issuance of this equity instrument resulted in a one-time non-cash charge equal to the excess of the fair value of the equity instrument issued over the $100.0 million proceeds to be received. As a result, the one-time non-cash charge amounted to approximately $286.5 million offset by a corresponding credit to additional paid-in capital in the first quarter of fiscal 2001. During the term of the strategic alliance, if Motorola meets targeted purchase levels, no additional payments may be required by Motorola to acquire 11,000,000 Flextronics22,000,000 of our ordinary shares. However, there may be additional non-cash charges of up to $300.0 million over the term of the strategic alliance. 14 15In January 2001, we entered into a non-binding memorandum of understanding with Ericsson in which we were selected to manage the operations of Ericsson's mobile phone business. We anticipate that operations under this arrangement will begin on April 1, 2001. Under this memorandum of understanding, we are to provide a substantial portion of Ericsson's mobile phone requirements. We will assume responsibility for product assembly, new product prototyping, supply chain management and logistics management, in which we will process customer orders from Ericsson and configure and ship products to Ericsson's customers. We will also provide PCBs and plastics, primarily from our Asian operations. In this new relationship, we will use facilities currently owned by Ericsson for its mobile phone operations in Brazil, Great Britain, Malaysia and Sweden, and will also manufacture at our southern China and Malaysia facilities. In connection with this relationship, we will employ the existing workforce for these operations, and will purchase from Ericsson certain inventory, equipment and other assets, and may assume certain accounts payable and accrued expenses at their net book value. The net asset purchase price has not been fixed, but is expected to be between $200.0 million and $800.0 million. We expect to receive substantial revenue from this relationship beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2002.

Net Sales We derive our net sales from our wide range of service offerings, including product design, semiconductor design, printed circuit board assembly and fabrication, enclosures, material procurement, inventory and supply chain management, plastic injection molding, final system assembly and test, packaging, logistics and distribution. Net sales for the firstthird quarter of fiscal 2001 increased 139%65% to $2.3$3.2 billion from $956.4 million$2.0 billion for the third quarter of fiscal 2000. Net sales for the first quarternine months of fiscal 2001 increased 90% to $9.0 billion from $4.7 billion for the same period in fiscal 2000. The increase in net sales was primarily the result of expanding sales to our existing customer base (primarily our ten largest customers) and, to a lesser extent, sales to new customers. DuringOur ten largest customers in the first quarternine months of fiscal 2001 the Company's five largest customersand 2000 accounted for approximately 42%56% and 59% of net sales, withrespectively. Our largest customers during the first nine months of fiscal 2001 were Cisco and Ericsson, accounting for approximately 10.7% of consolidated net sales. During the first quarter of fiscal 2000, the Company's five largest customers accounted for approximately 37%11% and 10% of net sales, with no customer accountingrespectively. No other customers accounted for more than 10% of consolidated net sales.sales in the nine months ended December 31, 2000.

Gross MarginProfit Gross marginprofit varies from period to period and is affected by a number of factors, including product mix, component costs and availability, product life cycles, unit volumes, startup, expansion and consolidation of manufacturing facilities, pricing, competition and new product introductions. Gross margin for the firstthird quarter of fiscal 2001 decreased to 3.7%7.3% from 10.0%8.6% for the third quarter of fiscal 2000. Gross margin decreased to 6.5% for the first quarternine months of fiscal 2001 from 9.2% for the same period in fiscal 2000. The decrease in gross margin in the current fiscal year is primarily attributable to unusual pre-tax charges amounting to $83.7$38.5 million in the third quarter and $146.5 million for the fiscal year to date, which were associated with the integration costs primarily related to the various business combinations, as more fully described below in "unusual charges""Unusual Charges". Excluding these unusual charges, our gross margin decreased from 10.0% to 7.4%.margins for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2001 were 8.5% and 8.1%, respectively. Gross margin decreased due to several factors, including i)(i) costs associated with expanding our facilities; ii)(ii) costs associated with the startup of new customers and new projects, which typically carry higher levels of underabsorbed manufacturing overhead costs until the projects reach higher volume production; and iii)(iii) changes in product mix to higher volume projects and final systems assembly projects, which typically have a lower gross margin. Increased mix of products that have relatively high materials costs as a percentage of total unit costs can adversely affect our gross margins. We believe that this and other factors may adversely affect our gross margins, but we do not expect that this will have a material effect on our income from operations.

Unusual ChargesAdversely Affected by Shortages of Required Electronic Components". 15 16 During the first quarter of fiscal 2001, the CompanyUnusual Charges We recognized unusual pre-tax charges of $587.8 million during the nine months ended fiscal 2001. Of this amount, $493.1 million. These unusual charges weremillion was recorded in the first quarter and was comprised of approximately $286.5 million related to the issuance of an equity instrument to Motorola combined with approximately $206.6 million of expenses resulting from the DII and Palo Alto Products International business combinations.mergers. In the second quarter, unusual pre-tax charges amounted to approximately $48.4 million associated with the Chatham and Lightning mergers. Unusual pre-tax charges of $46.3 million were recorded in the third quarter, primarily related to the JIT merger. On May 30, 2000, the Companywe entered into a strategic alliance for product manufacturing with Motorola. See Note I for further information concerning the strategic alliance. In connection with this strategic alliance, Motorola will paypaid $100.0 million for an equity instrument that entitles it to acquire 11,000,000 Flextronics22,000,000 of our ordinary shares at any time through December 31, 2005, upon meeting targeted purchase levels or making additional payments to the Company.us. The issuance of this equity instrument resulted in a one-time non-cash charge equal to the excess of the fair value of the equity instrument issued over the $100.0 million proceeds to be received. As a result, the one-time non-cash charge amounted to approximately $286.5 million offset by a corresponding credit to additional paid-in capital in the first quarter of fiscal 2001. In connection with the DII and Palo Alto Products Internationalaforementioned mergers, the Companywe recorded aggregate merger-related charges of $206.6$301.3 million, which included approximately $133.3$198.8 million of integration expenses and approximately $73.3$102.5 million of direct transaction costs. As discussed below, $83.7$146.5 million of the unusual charges relating to integration expenses have been classified as a component of Cost of Sales.Sales during the nine months ended fiscal 2001.

As a result of the consummation of the DII and Palo Alto Products International business combinations, the Companyvarious mergers, we developed formal plans to exit certain activities and involuntarily terminate employees. Management's plan to exit an activity included the identification of duplicate manufacturing and administrative facilities for closure and the identification of manufacturing and administrative facilities for consolidation into other facilities. Management currently anticipates that the integration costs and activities to which all of these charges relate will be substantially completed within fiscal 2001,one year of the commitment dates of the respective exit plans, except for certain long-term contractual obligations.

These amounts have been classified as a component of Cost of Sales. Included in the long-lived asset impairment are charges of $43.7$74.6 million, which relate to property, plant and equipment associated with the various manufacturing and administrative facility closures which were written down to their net realizable value based on their estimated sales price. Certain facilities will remain in service until their anticipated disposal date indates pursuant to the later part of the second quarter of fiscal 2001.exit plans. Since the assets will remain in service from the date of the decision to dispose of these assets to the anticipated disposal date, the remaining net book value of the assets will be depreciated over this expected period. The impaired long-lived assets consisted primarily of machinery and equipment of $53.5 million and building and improvements of $41.0 million and $2.7 million, respectively.$21.1 million. The long-lived asset impairment also includes the write-off of the remaining goodwill and other intangibles related to certain closed facilities of $2.9 million.

The unusual charges consisted of a transfer tax of $1.7 million, approximately $0.4 million of investment banking fees and approximately $1.4 million of legal and accounting fees. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses 17 18 Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") for the firstthird quarter of fiscal 2001 increased to $72.1$113.7 million from $50.5$86.5 million forin the firstsame quarter of fiscal 2000, but decreased as a percentage of net sales to 3.2%3.5% for the firstthird quarter of fiscal 2001 from 5.3%compared to 4.4% for the firstsame quarter of fiscal 2000. SG&A increased to $316.6 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2001 from $228.3 million in the same period of fiscal 2000, but decreased as a percentage of net sales to 3.5% from 4.8%. The dollar increaseincreases in SG&A waswere primarily due to the continued investment in infrastructure such as sales, marketing, supply-chain management, information systems and other related corporate and administrative expenses.

The decreasedecreases in interest and other (income) expense, net forin the third quarter ended June 30, 2000 was primarilyand the first nine months of fiscal 2001 were attributable to gains recorded on the $22.4 million gain on sale of marketable equity securities, which was offset by increased interest expense associated with our increased borrowing.borrowings. Provision for Income Taxes Our consolidated effective tax rate was 13.1% and (1.1%) for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2001, compared to 3.4% and 10.9% for the comparable periods of fiscal 2000. Excluding the unusual charges, the effective income tax rate in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2001 was 13.5% and 13.4%, respectively. The consolidated effective tax rate for a particular period varies depending on the mixamount of earnings from different jurisdictions, operating loss carryforwards, income tax credits and changes in previously established 17 18 valuation allowances for deferred tax assets based upon management's current analysis of the realizability of these deferred tax assets. The Company's consolidated effective tax rate was (5.0%) for the first quarter of fiscal 2001 compared to 13.5% for the comparable period of fiscal 2000. Excluding the unusual charges, the effective income tax rate in the first quarter of fiscal 2001 was 12.0%. The decrease in the effective tax rate was due primarily to the expansion of operations and increase in profitability in countries with lower tax rates or a tax holiday, the recognition of income tax loss and tax credit carryforwards and management's current assessment of the required valuation allowance.

Liquidity and Capital Resources As of June 30,December 31, 2000, the Companywe had cash and cash equivalents totaling $769.5$398.4 million, total bank and other debts totaling $1.1$1.6 billion and $500.0$60 million available for future borrowing under itsour credit facility subject to compliance with certain financial covenants. Subsequent to December 31, 2000, we have generated additional cash from a public offering of our ordinary shares. Cash used byin operating activities was $325.6$461.8 million and $14.1 million for the first quarternine months of fiscal 2001 compared to cash provided byand fiscal 2000, respectively. Cash used in operating activities of $6.4 million for first quarter of fiscal 2000. Cash provided by operating activities decreasedincreased in the first quarternine months of fiscal 2001 from the first quarternine months of fiscal 2000 becauseas a result of significant increases in accounts receivable and inventory, partially offset by increasesan increase in depreciation and amortization and accounts payable.

The increase in accounts receivable was primarily due to an increase of 139%90% in net sales for the first quarternine months of fiscal 2001 over the comparable period in the prior year. Inventories increased 51% to $1.4$1.7 billion at June 30,December 31, 2000 from $992.7 million$1.1 billion at March 31, 2000. The increase in inventories was primarily the result of increased purchases of material to support the growing sales combined with the inventory acquired in connection with the manufacturing facility purchases from original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in the first quarternine months of fiscal 2001. Cash used in investing activities was $178.6$769.4 million and $96.6$379.3 million for the first threenine months of fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2000, respectively. Cash used in investing activities for the first threenine months of fiscal 2001 was primarily related to (i) capital expenditures of $193.5$711.3 million to purchase equipment and for continued expansion of manufacturing facilities, including our manufacturing facility purchases from OEMs, (ii) payment of $112.9 million for acquisitions of businesses and (iii) payment of $39.5 million for minority investments in Brazil, China, Hungary, Mexico, United States and Sweden, (ii)$28.8 million related to the acquisitionstock of Uniskor, Ltd. and Cumex,various technology companies, offset by (iii) $10.8(iv) $51.4 million related toin proceeds from the sale of equipment and (iv) $32.9(v) 18 19 $42.8 million in proceeds from the sale of marketable equity securities.

The Company anticipatesrepayments. Subsequent to December 31, 2000, we substantially increased our cash balances through an equity offering of 27,000,000 of our ordinary shares at $37.9375 with net proceeds of approximately $990.8 million. In addition, we have granted the underwriters of the equity offering an overallotment option, which is exercisable for thirty days after the offering, to purchase up to an additional 4,050,000 ordinary shares. We anticipate that itsour working capital requirements and capital expenditures will continue to increase in order to support the anticipated continued growth in itsour operations. The Company anticipatesWe also anticipate incurring significant capital expenditures and operating lease commitments in order to support our anticipated expansions of our industrial parks in China, Hungary, Mexico, Brazil and Poland. The Company intendsWe intend to continue itsour acquisition strategy and it is possible that future acquisitions may be significant.significant and may require the payment of cash. Future liquidity needs will also depend on fluctuations in levels of inventory, the timing of expenditures by us on new equipment, the extent to which the Company utilizeswe utilize operating leases for the new facilities and equipment, levels of shipments and changes in volumes of customer orders. Historically, the Companywe have funded itsour operations from the proceeds of public offerings of equity securities and debt offerings, cash and cash equivalents generated from operations, bank debt, sales of accounts receivable and capital equipment lease financings.

See "- Certain"Certain Factors Affecting Operating Results - If we do not manage effectivelyWe Do Not Manage Effectively the expansionExpansion of our operations, our business mayOur Operations, Our Business May be harmed." Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures About Market RiskHarmed". ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK There were no material changes during the three and nine months ended June 30,December 31, 2000 to the Company'sour exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. CERTAIN FACTORS AFFECTINGEFFECTING OPERATING RESULTS IF WE DO NOT MANAGE EFFECTIVELY THE EXPANSION OF OUR OPERATIONS, OUR BUSINESS MAY BE HARMED. We have grown rapidly in recent periods. Our workforce has more than tripled in size over the last year as a result of internal growth and acquisitions. This growth is likely to strain considerably strain our management control system and resources, including decision support, accounting management, information systems and facilities. If we do not continue to improve our financial and management controls, reporting systems and procedures to manage our employees effectively and to expand our facilities, our business could be harmed. We plan to increase our manufacturing capacity by expanding our facilities and by adding new equipment. Such expansion involves significant risks, including, but not limited to, the following: - - we may not be able to attract and retain the management personnel and skilled employees necessary to support expanded operations; - - we may not efficiently and effectively integrate new operations and information systems, expand our existing operations and manage geographically dispersed operations; -19 20 - we may incur cost overruns; - - we may encounter construction delays, equipment delays or shortages, labor shortages and disputes and production start-up problems that could harm our growth and our ability to meet customers' delivery schedules; and - - we may not be able to obtain funds for this expansion, and we may not be able to obtain loans or operating leases with attractive terms. In addition, we expect to incur new fixed operating expenses associated with our expansion efforts that will increase our cost of sales, including substantial increases in depreciation expense and rental expense, that will increase our cost of sales.expense. If our revenues do not increase sufficiently to offset these expenses, our operating results would be seriously harmed. Our expansion, both through internal growth and acquisitions, has contributed to our incurring significant accounting charges. For example, in connection with our acquisitions of DII, and Palo Alto Products International, Chatham and Lightning, we recorded a one-time chargecharges of approximately $206.6$255.0 million, and in connection with the issuance of an equity instrument to Motorola relating to our alliance with Motorola, we recorded a one-time non-cash charge of approximately $286.5 million, bothmillion. OUR STRATEGIC RELATIONSHIP WITH ERICSSON CREATES RISKS. While we have entered into a non-binding memorandum of understanding with Ericsson with respect to our management of its mobile telephone operations, we have not negotiated or entered into any definitive agreements. The memorandum of understanding is only an expression of the parties' current intentions, and the relationship as described in the first fiscal quartermemorandum of fiscal 2001.understanding is subject to change in the definitive agreements. In addition, the memorandum of understanding does not address a number of terms that will be set forth in the definitive agreements, and these terms may affect our ability to obtain the anticipated benefits of this relationship. We anticipate commencing this relationship on April 1, 2001, but we cannot be sure when, or whether, we will enter into definitive agreements for this relationship or commence operations. Further, we cannot provide any assurances as to the final terms of any definitive agreement or as to the duration of our anticipated relationship with Ericsson. Finally, we cannot be sure when or whether we will obtain the regulatory approvals that are required for the relationship. Once we commence operations, our ability to achieve any of the anticipated benefits of this new relationship with Ericsson is subject to a number of risks, including our ability to meet Ericsson's volume, product quality, timeliness and price requirements, and to achieve anticipated cost reductions. If demand for Ericsson's mobile phone products declines, Ericsson may purchase a lower quantity of products from us than we anticipate, and the memorandum of understanding does not require that Ericsson purchase any specified volume of products from us. If Ericsson's requirements exceed the volume anticipated by us, we may not be able to meet these requirements on a timely basis. Our inability to meet Ericsson's volume, quality, timeliness and cost requirements, and to quickly resolve any issues with Ericsson, could seriously harm our results of operations. As a result of these and other risks, we may be unable to achieve anticipated levels of profitability under this arrangement, and it may not result in any material revenues or contribute positively to our net income per share. Finally, other OEMs may not wish to obtain logistics or operations management services from us. WE MAY ENCOUNTER DIFFICULTIES WITH ACQUISITIONS, WHICH COULD HARM OUR BUSINESS. We haveIn the past six months, we completed a significant number of acquisitions of businesses and facilities, including our acquisitions of Chatham, Lightning and JIT. We expect to continue to acquire additional businesses and facilities in the future including our recent agreements to acquire Chatham Technologies and JIT Holdings Ltd.future. We are currently in preliminary discussions to acquire additional businesses and facilities. Any future acquisitions may require additional debt or equity financing, which could increase our leverage or be dilutive to our existing shareholders. We cannot assure the terms of, or that we will complete, any acquisitions in the future. To integrate acquired businesses, we must implement our management information systems and operating systems and assimilate and manage the personnel of the acquired operations. The difficulties of this integration may be further complicated by geographic distances. The integration of acquired businesses may not be successful and could result in disruption to other parts of our business. In addition, acquisitions involve a number of other risks and challenges, including, but not limited to, -to: - diversion of management's attention; - - potential loss of key employees and customers of the acquired companies; -20 21 - lack of experience operating in the geographic market of the acquired business; and 19 20 - - an increase in our expenses and working capital requirements. Any of these and other factors could harm our ability to achieve anticipated levels of profitability at acquired operations or realize other anticipated benefits of an acquisition. OUR OPERATING RESULTS VARY SIGNIFICANTLY. We experience significant fluctuations in our results of operations. The factors which contribute to fluctuations include: - the timing of customer orders; - the volume of these orders relative to our capacity; - market acceptance of customers' new products; - changes in demand for customers' products and product obsolescence; - our ability to manage the timing and amount of our procurement of components to avoid delays in production and excess inventory levels; - the timing of our expenditures in anticipation of future orders; - our effectiveness in managing manufacturing processes and costs; - changes in the cost and availability of labor and components; - changes in our product mix; - changes in economic conditions; - local factors and events that may affect our production volume, such as local holidays; and - seasonality in customers' product requirements. One of our significant end-markets is the consumer electronics market. This market exhibits particular strength toward the end of the calendar year in connection with the holiday season. As a result, we have new customer relationships from which wehistorically experienced relative strength in revenues in our third fiscal quarter. We are not yet receiving significantreconfiguring certain of our operations to further increase our concentration in low-cost locations. We expect that this shift of operations will result in the recognition of unusual charges in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001 related to the integration activities. In addition, some of our customers are currently experiencing increased volatility in demand, and in some cases reduced demand, for their products. This increases the difficulty of anticipating the levels and timing of future revenues and orders from these customers, may not reach anticipated levels.and could lead them to defer delivery schedules for products, which could lead to a reduction or delay in such revenues. Any of these factors or a combination of these factors could seriously harm our business and result in fluctuations in our results of operations. WE HAVE NEW STRATEGIC RELATIONSHIPS FROM WHICH WE ARE NOT YET RECEIVING SIGNIFICANT REVENUES, AND MAY NOT REACH ANTICIPATED LEVELS. We have recently announced major new customerstrategic relationships, including our alliancealliances with Ericsson and Motorola, from which we anticipate significant future sales.revenues. However, similar to our other customer relationships, there are no volume purchase commitments under these new programs, and the revenues we actually achieve may not meet our expectations. In anticipation of future activities under these programs, we are incurring substantial expenses as we add personnel and manufacturing capacity and procure materials. Our operating results will be seriously harmed if sales do not develop to the extent and within the time frame we anticipate. OUR CUSTOMERS MAY CANCEL THEIR ORDERS, CHANGE PRODUCTION QUANTITIES OR DELAY PRODUCTION. 21 22 Electronics manufacturing service providers must provide increasingly rapid product turnaround for their customers. We generally do not obtain firm, long-term purchase commitments from our customers and we continue to experience reduced lead-times in customer orders. Customers may cancel their orders, change production quantities or delay production for a number of reasons. Cancellations, reductions or delays by a significant customer or by a group of customers would seriously harm our results of operations. In addition, we make significant decisions, including determining the levels of business that we will seek and accept, production schedules, component procurement commitments, personnel needs and other resource requirements, based on our estimates of customer requirements. The short-term nature of our customers' commitments and the possibility of rapid changes in demand for their products reducesreduce our ability to estimate accurately future customer requirements. This makes it difficult to schedule production and maximize utilization of our manufacturing capacity. We often increase staffing, purchase materials and incur other expenses to meet the anticipated demand of our customers. Anticipated orders may not materialize, and delivery schedules may be deferred as a result of changes in demand for our customers' products. On occasion, customers may require rapid increases in production, which can stress our resources and reduce margins. Although we have increased our manufacturing capacity, and plan further increases, we may not have sufficient capacity at any given time to meet our customers' demands. In addition, because many of our costs and operating expenses are relatively fixed, a reduction in customer demand cancould harm our gross margins and operating income. OUR OPERATING RESULTS VARY SIGNIFICANTLY. We experience significant fluctuationsWE DEPEND ON THE CONTINUING TREND OF OUTSOURCING BY OEMS. A substantial factor in our resultsrevenue growth is the transfer of operations. The factors which contribute to fluctuations include: - -manufacturing and supply base management activities from our OEM customers. Future growth partially depends on new outsourcing opportunities. To the timingextent that these opportunities are not available, our future growth would be unfavorably impacted. These outsourcing opportunities may include the transfer of customer orders; - - the volume of these orders relative to our capacity; - - market acceptance of customers' new products; - - changes in demand for customers' products and product obsolescence; - - the timing of our expenditures in anticipation of future orders; - - our effectiveness in managing manufacturing processes; - - changes in the cost and availability of labor and components; - - changes in our product mix; - - changes in economic conditions; - - local factors and events that may affect our production volume,assets such as local holidays;facilities, equipment and - - seasonality in customers' product requirements. One of our significant end-markets is the consumer electronics market. This market exhibits particular strength towards the end of the year in connection with the holiday season. As a result, we have experienced relative strength in revenues in our third fiscal quarter. 20 21inventory. THE MAJORITY OF OUR SALES COMES FROM A SMALL NUMBER OF CUSTOMERS; IF WE LOSE ANY OF THESE CUSTOMERS, OUR SALES COULD DECLINE SIGNIFICANTLY. Sales to our fiveten largest customers have represented a significant percentage of our net sales in recent periods. Our fiveten largest customers in the first nine months of fiscal 2001 and 2000 accounted for approximately 56% and 59% of net sales. Our two largest customers during the first nine months of fiscal 2001 were Cisco and Ericsson, accounting for approximately 11% and 10% of net sales. We expect that our strategic relationship with Ericsson will substantially increase the percentage of our sales attributable to Ericsson. No other customers accounted for approximately 44%more than 10% of consolidated net sales in the first nine months of fiscal 2000. Our largest customers during fiscal 2000 were Ericsson and Philips accounting for approximately 12% and 10% of consolidated net sales. Our largest customer during fiscal 1999 was Philips accounting for approximately 10% of consolidated net sales.2001. The identity of our principal customers havehas varied from year to year, and our principal customers may not continue to purchase services from us at current levels, if at all. Significant reductions in sales to any of these customers, or the loss of major customers, would seriously harm our business. If we are not be able to timely replace expired, canceled or reduced contracts with new business, our revenues would be harmed. WE DEPEND ON THE TELECOMMUNICATIONS, NETWORKING AND ELECTRONICS INDUSTRYINDUSTRIES WHICH CONTINUALLY PRODUCESPRODUCE TECHNOLOGICALLY ADVANCED PRODUCTS WITH SHORT LIFE CYCLES; OUR INABILITY TO CONTINUALLY MANUFACTURE SUCH PRODUCTS ON A COST-EFFECTIVE BASIS WOULD HARM OUR BUSINESS. We depend on sales to customers in the telecommunications, networking and electronics industries. Factors affecting the electronics industry in general could seriously harm our customers and, as a result, us. These factors include: - - the inability of our customers to adapt to rapidly changing technology and evolving industry standards, which results in short product life cycles; - - the inability of our customers to develop and market their products, some of which are new and untested, the potential that our customers' products may become obsolete or the failure of our customers' products to gain widespread commercial acceptance; and - - recessionary periods in our customers' markets. 22 23 If any of these factors materialize, our business would suffer. THERERecently, many sectors of the telecommunications, networking and electronics industries have experienced pricing and margin pressures and reduced demand for many products, and the impact of these pressures has caused, and is expected to continue to cause, some customers to defer delivery schedules for certain products that we manufacture for them. OUR INDUSTRY IS EXTREMELY COMPETITIVE. The electronics manufacturing services industry is extremely competitive and includes hundreds of companies, several of which have achieved substantial market share. Current and prospective customers also evaluate our capabilities against the merits of internal production. Some of our competitors have substantially greater market share and manufacturing, financial and marketing resources than us. In recent years, many participants in the industry, including us, have substantially expanded their manufacturing capacity. If overall demand for electronics manufacturing services should decrease, this increased capacity could result in substantial pricing pressures, which could seriously harm our operating results. WE MAY BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY SHORTAGES OF REQUIRED ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS. A substantial majority of our net sales are derived from turnkey manufacturing in which we are responsible for purchasing components used in manufacturing our customerscustomers' products. We generally do not have long-term agreements with suppliers of components. This typically results in our bearing the risk of component price increases because we may be unable to procure the required materials at a price level necessary to generate anticipated margins from our agreements with our customers. Accordingly, component price changes could seriously harm our operating results. At various times, there have been shortages of some of the electronic components that we use, and suppliers of some components have lacked sufficient capacity to meet the demand for these components. In recent months, componentComponent shortages have recently become more prevalent in our industry. In some cases, supply shortages and delays in deliveries of particular components have resulted in curtailed production, or delays in production, of assemblies using that component, which has contributed to an increase in our inventory levels. We expect that shortages and delays in deliveries of some components will continue. If we are unable to obtain sufficient components on a timely basis, we may experience manufacturing and shipping delays, which could harm our relationships with current or prospective customers and reduce our sales. OUR INDUSTRY IS EXTREMELY COMPETITIVE. The electronics manufacturing servicesCUSTOMERS MAY BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE. Our customers compete in markets that are characterized by rapidly changing technology, evolving industry is extremely competitivestandards and includes hundreds of companies, several of which havecontinuous improvement in products and services. These conditions frequently result in short product life cycles. Our success will depend largely on the success achieved substantial market share. Current and prospectiveby our customers also evaluate our capabilities against the merits of internal production. Some of our competitors, including Solectron, Celestica and SCI Systems, have substantially greater market share than us, and substantially greater manufacturing, financial, research and developmentin developing and marketing resources. In recent years, many participants in the industry, including us, have substantially expanded their manufacturing capacity.products. If overall demand for electronics manufacturing services should decrease, this increased capacitytechnologies or standards supported by our customers' products become obsolete or fail to gain widespread commercial acceptance, our business could result in substantial pricing pressures, which could seriously harm our operating results.be adversely affected. WE ARE SUBJECT TO THE RISK OF INCREASED TAXES. We have structured our operations in a manner designed to maximize income in countries where (1) tax incentives have been extended to encourage foreign investment or where(2) income tax rates are low. We base our tax position upon the anticipated nature and conduct of our business and upon our understanding of the tax laws of the various countries in which we have assets or conduct 21 22 activities. However, our tax position is subject to review and possible challenge by taxing authorities and to possible changes in law which may have retroactive effect. We cannot determine in advance the extent to which some jurisdictions may require us to pay taxtaxes or make payments in lieu of tax.taxes. Several countries in which we are located allow for tax holidays or provide other tax incentives to attract and retain business. We have obtained holidays or other incentives where available. Our taxes could increase if certain tax holidays or incentives are not renewed upon expiration, or tax rates applicable to us in such jurisdictions are otherwise increased. In addition, further acquisitions of businesses may cause our effective tax rate to increase. WE CONDUCT OPERATIONS IN A NUMBER OF COUNTRIES AND ARE SUBJECT TO RISKS OF INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS. 23 24 The geographical distances between Asia, the Americas and Europe create a number of logistical and communications challenges. Our manufacturing operations are located in a number of countries including Austria, Brazil, China,throughout East Asia, the Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Malaysia, Mexico, Sweden, the United KingdomAmericas and the United States.Europe. As a result, we are affected by economic and political conditions in those countries, including: - - fluctuations in the value of currencies; - - changes in labor conditions; - - longer payment cycles; - - greater difficulty in collecting accounts receivable; - -the burdens and costs of compliance with a variety of foreign laws; - - political and economic instability; - - increases in duties and taxation; - - imposition of restrictions on currency conversion or the transfer of funds; - - limitations on imports or exports; - - expropriation of private enterprises; and - -a potential reversal of the current policies including favorable tax and lendingor other policies encouraging foreign investment or foreign trade by our host countries. The attractiveness of our services to our U.S. customers can be affected by changes in U.S. trade policies, such as "most favored nation" status and trade preferences for some Asian nations. In addition, some countries in which we operate, such as Brazil, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Mexico, Malaysia and Malaysia,Poland, have experienced periods of slow or negative growth, high inflation, significant currency devaluations andor limited availability of foreign exchange. Furthermore, in countries such as Mexico and China, governmental authorities exercise significant influence over many aspects of the economy, and their actions could have a significant effect on us. Finally, we could be seriously harmed by inadequate infrastructure, including lack of adequate power and water supplies, transportation, raw materials and parts in countries in which we operate. WE ARE SUBJECT TO RISKS OF CURRENCY FLUCTUATIONS AND HEDGING OPERATIONS. A significant portion of our business is conducted in the European euro, the Swedish krona and the Brazilian real. In addition, some of our costs, such as payroll and rent, are denominated in local currencies such asin the Austrian schilling, the British pound, the Chinese renminbi, the German deutsche mark, the Hong Kong dollar, the Hungarian forint, the Irish pound, the Malaysian ringgit, the Mexican peso and the Singapore dollar, as well as the krona, the euro and the real.countries in which we operate. In recent years, some of these currencies, including the Hungarian forint, Brazilian real and Mexican peso, have experienced significant devaluations. Changes in exchange rates between these and other currencies and the U.S. dollar will affect our cost of sales, operating margins and revenues. We cannot predict the impact of future exchange rate fluctuations. We use financial instruments, primarily forward purchase contracts, to hedge Japanese yen, European euro, U.S. dollar and other foreign currency commitments arising from trade accounts payable and fixed purchase obligations. Because we hedge only fixed obligations, we do not expect that these hedging activities will harm our results of operations or cash flows. However, our hedging activities may be unsuccessful, and we may change or reduce our hedging activities in the future. As a result, we may experience significant unexpected expenses from fluctuations in exchange rates. 22 23 WE DEPEND ON OUR KEY PERSONNEL. Our success depends to a large extent upon the continued services of our key executives, managers and skilled personnel. Generally our employees are not bound by employment or non-competition agreements, and we cannot assure that we will retain our key officers and employees. We could be seriously harmed by the loss of key personnel. In addition, in order to manage our growth, we will need to recruit and retain additional skilled management personnel and if we are not able to do so, our business and our ability to continue to grow would be harmed. WE ARE SUBJECT TO ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE RISKS. 24 25 We are subject to various federal, state, local and foreign environmental laws and regulations, including those governing the use, storage, discharge and disposal of hazardous substances in the ordinary course of our manufacturing process. In addition, we are responsible for cleanup of contamination at some of our current and former manufacturing facilities and at some third party sites. If more stringent compliance or cleanup standards under environmental laws or regulations are imposed, or if the results of future testing and analysesanalysis at our current or former operating facilities indicate that we are responsible for the release of hazardous substances, we may be subject to additional remediation liability. Further, additional environmental matters may arise in the future at sites where no problem is currently known or at sites that we may acquire in the future. Currently unexpected costs that we may incur with respect to environmental matters may result in additional loss contingencies, the quantification of which cannot be determined at this time. THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR ORDINARY SHARES IS VOLATILE. The stock market in recent years has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have affected the market prices of technology companies. These fluctuations have often been unrelated to or disproportionately impacted by the operating performance of these companies. The market for our ordinary shares may be subject to similar fluctuations. Factors such as fluctuations in our operating results, announcements of technological innovations or events affecting other companies in the electronics industry, currency fluctuations and general market conditions may have a significant effect on the market price of our ordinary shares.
