ITEM 4: CHANGE IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT. (a) On August 1, 1997, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Flextronics International Ltd. (the "Company") approved the engagement of Arthur Andersen LLP, San Jose, California as independent public accountants to audit and report on the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries for the year ended March 31, 1998. This change is related to the Company's shift of certain financial reporting functions and the Company's audit relationship to San Jose. On August 4, 1997, the Company informed the firm of Ernst & Young, which had been serving as independent public accountants for the Company, of its desire to have Arthur Andersen LLP succeed Ernst & Young as the Company's independent accountants. On August 5, 1997, Ernst & Young advised the Company that it will not seek re-election at the Company's next Annual General Meeting scheduled for September 26, 1997. Accordingly, the engagement of Ernst & Young will terminate at the time of the Annual General Meeting. The Company will nominate Arthur Andersen LLP as the Company's independent public accountants for approval by the shareholders at the Company's Annual General Meeting. (b) In connection with its audits for the two most recent years, and through August 5, 1997, there have been no reportable events or disagreements with Ernst & Young on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure. (c) Ernst & Young's report on the financial statements for the past two years contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. (d) During the two most recent fiscal years, Arthur Andersen LLP, the independent accountants of the Company to stand for election at the upcoming Annual General Meeting, has not been consulted regarding: (1) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; (2) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's financial statements; or (3) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement or a reportable event.
