M-FLEX REVISES ITS FISCAL THIRD QUARTER GUIDANCE FOR NET INCOME

DOWNWARD AND CONFIRMS REVENUE GUIDANCE

Anaheim, CA, July 13, 2006 – Multi-Fineline Electronix, Inc. (NASDAQ: MFLX), a leading global provider of high-quality, technologically advanced flexible printed circuit and value-added component assembly solutions to the electronics industry, said today that it is revising downward its estimate for net income for its fiscal third quarter ended June 30, 2006, while confirming its earlier revenue guidance.

The company currently expects its net income for the fiscal third quarter to be between $7.5 million to $8.5 million. On May 9, 2006, the company estimated earnings to be in the range of $12.2 million to $13.6 million. M-Flex, however, confirmed its earlier revenue guidance of between $126.0 million and $136.0 million.

According to M-Flex’s chairman and chief executive officer, Phil Harding, the earnings shortfall resulted principally from an unexpected increase in the cost of goods sold. The company believes the increased cost of goods sold was driven by a change in product mix at lower margins. Also, the company experienced increased labor costs and lower yields during the quarter. Some of the increased labor costs and lower yields were associated with new employees hired during the third quarter who were being trained to support the MFC2 expansion expected to become operational in the quarter ending December 2006.
