FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS This prospectus includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. This Act provides a "safe harbor" for forward-looking statements to encourage companies to provide prospective information about themselves so long as they identify these statements as forward-looking and provide meaningful cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual 2 3 results to differ from the projected results. All statements other than statements of historical fact we make in this prospectus or in any document incorporated by reference are forward-looking. In particular, the statements herein regarding industry prospects and our future results of operations or financial position are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements reflect our current expectations and are inherently uncertain. Our actual results may differ significantly from our expectations. The section entitled "Risk Factors" that appears in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2000 describe some, but not all, of the factors that could cause these differences. THE COMPANY Flextronics is a leading provider of advanced electronics manufacturing services to original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, primarily in the telecommunications and networking, consumer electronics and computer industries. We provide a wide range of integrated services, from initial product design to volume production and fulfillment. Our manufacturing services range from printed circuit board fabrication and assembly to complete product assembly and test. We believe that we have developed particular strengths in advanced interconnect, miniaturization and packaging technologies, and in the engineering and manufacturing of wireless communications products employing radio frequency technology. In addition, we provide advanced engineering services, including product design, PCB layout, quick-turn prototyping and test development. Throughout the production process, we offer logistics services, such as materials procurement, inventory management, packaging and distribution. Our principal executive offices are located at 11 Ubi Road 1 #07-01/02, Meiban Industrial Building, Singapore 408723 and our telephone number is (65) 844-3366. ENFORCEMENT OF CIVIL LIABILITIES We are incorporated in Singapore under the Companies Act. Some of our directors and executive officers reside in Singapore. All or a substantial portion of the assets of such persons, and a substantial portion of our assets, are located outside the United States. As a result, it may not be possible for persons purchasing ordinary shares to effect service of process within the United States upon such persons or Flextronics or to enforce against them, in the United States courts, judgments obtained in such courts predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States. We have been advised by our Singapore legal advisors, Allen & Gledhill, that there is doubt as to the enforceability in Singapore, either in original actions or in actions for the enforcement of judgments of United States courts, of civil liabilities predicated upon the federal securities laws of the United States. RISK FACTORS 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 tripled in size over the last year as a result of internal growth and acquisitions. This growth is likely to 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; - we may incur cost overruns; 3 4 - 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, including substantial increases in depreciation expense and rental expense, that will increase our cost of sales. 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. WE MAY ENCOUNTER DIFFICULTIES WITH ACQUISITIONS, WHICH COULD HARM OUR BUSINESS. We have completed a number of acquisitions of businesses and facilities and expect to continue to acquire additional businesses and facilities in the 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, - diversion of management's attention; - potential loss of key employees and customers of the acquired companies; - lack of experience operating in the geographic market of the acquired business; and - 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. WE HAVE NEW CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIPS FROM WHICH WE ARE NOT YET RECEIVING SIGNIFICANT REVENUES, AND ORDERS FROM THESE CUSTOMERS MAY NOT REACH ANTICIPATED LEVELS. We have recently announced major new customer relationships, including our alliance with Motorola, from which we anticipate significant future sales. 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. 4 5 OUR CUSTOMERS MAY CANCEL THEIR ORDERS, CHANGE PRODUCTION QUANTITIES OR DELAY PRODUCTION. 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 reduces our ability to estimate accurately future customer requirements. 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 can harm our gross margins and operating income. 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; - 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, 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 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. 5 6 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 five largest customers have represented a majority of our net sales in recent periods. Our five largest customers accounted for approximately 44% of consolidated net sales in fiscal 2000. Our largest customers during fiscal 2000 were Ericsson and Philips accounting for approximately 12% and 10% of consolidated net sales. The identity of our principal customers have 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 able to timely replace expired, canceled or reduced contracts with new business, our revenues would be harmed. WE DEPEND ON THE ELECTRONICS INDUSTRY WHICH CONTINUALLY PRODUCES TECHNOLOGICALLY ADVANCED PRODUCTS WITH SHORT LIFE CYCLES; OUR INABILITY TO CONTINUALLY MANUFACTURE SUCH PRODUCTS ON A COST-EFFECTIVE BASIS WOULD HARM OUR BUSINESS. 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. If any of these factors materialize, our business would suffer. THERE MAY BE 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 customers 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, component shortages have 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 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, including Solectron, 6 7 Celestica and SCI Systems, have substantially greater market share than us, and substantially greater manufacturing, financial, research and development and marketing resources. 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 ARE SUBJECT TO THE RISK OF INCREASED TAXES. We have structured our operations in a manner designed to maximize income in countries where tax incentives have been extended to encourage foreign investment or where 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 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 tax or make payments in lieu of tax. 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 may cause our effective tax rate to increase. WE CONDUCT OPERATIONS IN A NUMBER OF COUNTRIES AND ARE SUBJECT TO RISKS OF INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS. 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, the Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Malaysia, Mexico, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the United States. 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; - 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 - reversal of the current policies including favorable tax and lending policies encouraging foreign investment or foreign trade by our host countries. 7 8 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, Mexico and Malaysia, have experienced periods of slow or negative growth, high inflation, significant currency devaluations and 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 currencies such as 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. In recent years, 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. WE DEPEND ON OUR KEY PERSONNEL. Our success depends to a larger 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. WE ARE SUBJECT TO ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE RISKS. 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 the results of future testing and analyses 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. 8 9 USE OF PROCEEDS We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of shares by the selling shareholders.

These transactions may be effected by the selling shareholders at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices, at negotiated prices, or at fixed prices, which may be changed. Brokers, dealers, agents or underwriters participating in transactions as agent may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling shareholders (and, if they act as agent for the purchaser of the shares, from such purchaser). The discounts, concessions or commissions as to a particular broker, dealer, agent or underwriter might be in excess of those customary in the type of transaction involved. This prospectus also may be used, with Flextronics' consent, by donees or pledgees of the selling shareholders, or by other persons acquiring shares and who wish to offer and sell shares under circumstances requiring or making desirable its use. The selling shareholders and any underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents that participate in such distribution may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any discounts, commissions or concessions received by any underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents might be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Neither Flextronics nor the selling shareholders can presently estimate the amount of such compensation. We will pay substantially all of the expenses incident to this offering of the shares by the selling shareholders to the public other than commissions and discounts of underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents. We have agreed to indemnify the selling shareholders against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act, in connection with the offer and sale of the shares, and selling shareholders may indemnify brokers, dealers, agents or underwriters that participate in transactions involving sales of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act. In order to comply with certain states' securities laws, if applicable, the shares will be sold in jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain states the shares may not be sold unless the shares have been registered or qualified for sale in that state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with. The shares were originally issued to former shareholders of Palo Alto Products International Pte Ltd, Palo Alto Manufacturing (Thailand) Ltd., Palo Alto Plastic (Thailand) Ltd., PCB Assembly, Inc., San Marco Engineering Srl, Sample Rate Systems Oy, Neutronics Electronic Industries Holding AG, Energipilot AB, Kyrel EMS Oy, Summit Manufacturing Inc., Circuit Board Assemblers, Inc. and EMC International, Inc., in connection with the acquisitions of these companies pursuant to exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Section 4(2) thereof.
