ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Flextronics International Ltd.
Singapore

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Flextronics International Ltd. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of October 2, 2009, and the related condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended October 2, 2009 and September 26, 2008, and of cash flows for the six-month periods ended October 2, 2009 and September 26, 2008. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to such condensed consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Flextronics International Ltd. and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated May 20, 2009, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2009 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

1. ORGANIZATION OF THE COMPANY

Flextronics International Ltd. (“Flextronics” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the Republic of Singapore in May 1990. The Company is a leading provider of advanced design and electronics manufacturing services (“EMS”) to original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) of a broad range of products in the following markets: infrastructure; mobile communication devices; computing; consumer digital devices; industrial, semiconductor and white goods; automotive, marine and aerospace; and medical devices. The Company’s strategy is to provide customers with a full range of cost competitive, vertically-integrated global supply chain services through which the Company designs, builds, ships and services a complete packaged product for its OEM customers. OEM customers leverage the Company’s services to meet their product requirements throughout the entire product life cycle.

The Company’s service offerings include rigid printed circuit board and flexible circuit fabrication, systems assembly and manufacturing (including enclosures, testing services, materials procurement and inventory management), logistics, after-sales services (including product repair, re-manufacturing and maintenance) and multiple component product offerings. Additionally, the Company provides market-specific design and engineering services ranging from contract design services (“CDM”), where the customer purchases services on a time and materials basis, to original product design and manufacturing services, where the customer purchases a product that was designed, developed and manufactured by the Company (commonly referred to as original design manufacturing, or “ODM”). ODM products are then sold by the Company’s OEM customers under the OEMs’ brand names. The Company’s CDM and ODM services include user interface and industrial design, mechanical engineering and tooling design, electronic system design and printed circuit board design.

2. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP” or “GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the requirements of Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month and six-month periods ended October 2, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010. The Company evaluated subsequent events for disclosure through November 2, 2009.

The Company’s third fiscal quarter ends on December 31, and the fourth fiscal quarter and year ends on March 31 of each year. The first fiscal quarters ended on July 3, 2009 and June 27, 2008, respectively, and the second fiscal quarters ended on October 2, 2009 and September 26, 2008, respectively.

Customer Credit Risk

The Company has an established customer credit policy, through which it manages customer credit exposures through credit evaluations, credit limit setting, monitoring, and enforcement of credit limits for new and existing customers. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and makes provisions for doubtful accounts based on the outcome of those credit evaluations. The Company evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable based on specific customer circumstances, current economic trends, historical experience with collections and the age of past due receivables. To the extent the Company identifies exposures as a result of credit or customer evaluations, the Company also reviews other customer related exposures, including but not limited to inventory and related contractual obligations.

7

During the three-month and six-month periods ended September 26, 2008, the Company recognized approximately $117.4 million of charges associated with certain customers that were filing for bankruptcy or were experiencing significant financial and liquidity difficulties. The Company classified approximately $96.7 million of these charges in cost of sales related to the write-down of inventory and associated contractual obligations.

Thereafter		15,727
Total amortization expense	$	209,277

(1) Represents estimated amortization for the six-month period ending March 31, 2010.

Other Assets

The Company has certain equity investments in, and notes receivable from, non-publicly traded companies, which are included within other assets in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of October 2, 2009 and March 31, 2009, the Company’s equity investments and notes receivable from these non-publicly traded companies totaled $30.7 million and $473.6 million respectively. The Company monitors these investments and notes receivable for impairment and makes appropriate reductions in carrying values as required.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company recognized charges totaling approximately $92.0 million associated with the impairment of notes receivable from one affiliate and an equity investment in another affiliate, which are included in Other charges, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The notes receivable were partially impaired during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009 based on discussions with a third party for the potential sale of the notes and the related expected recoverable value. Subsequent deterioration in the affiliate’s business prospects, cash flow expectations, and increased liquidity concerns has resulted in an additional impairment. Similarly, deterioration in the business prospects and liquidity concerns of the equity investment occurring in the six-month period ended October 2, 2009 has resulted in an impairment of the carrying value to the estimated recoverable value.

In August 2009, the Company sold one of its non-majority owned investments and related note receivable for approximately $252.5 million, net of closing costs. In conjunction with this transaction the Company recognized an impairment charge of approximately $107.4 million in the three-month period ended July 3, 2009. Total impairment charges related to the Company’s equity investments and notes receivable for the six-month period ended October 2, 2009 were approximately $199.4 million and are included in Other charges, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

During the three-month and six-month periods ended September 26, 2008, the Company recognized $11.9 million in charges for other-than-temporary impairment of certain of the Company’s investments primarily associated with a customer that was experiencing significant financial and liquidity difficulties.

Provision for income taxes

The Company has tax loss carryforwards attributable to continuing operations for which the Company has recognized deferred tax assets. The Company’s policy is to provide a reserve against those deferred tax assets that in management’s estimate are not more likely than not to be realized. During the three-month and six-month periods ended October 2, 2009, the provision for income taxes includes a benefit of approximately $63.3 million and $75.2 million, respectively, for the net change in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits as a result of settlements in various tax jurisdictions. During the six-month period ended September 26, 2008, the provision for income taxes includes a benefit of approximately $38.5 million for the reversal of valuation allowances and other tax reserves.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, a new accounting standard was issued which removes the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity, creates more stringent conditions for reporting a transfer of a portion of a financial asset as a sale, clarifies other sale-accounting criteria, and changes the initial measurement of a transferor’s interest in transferred financial assets. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009 and is required to be adopted by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2011. The adoption of this standard will not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations and could require that future sales of accounts receivable be treated as a financing activity in the statement of cash flows and as a liability on the Company’s balance sheet (see Note 8).

In June 2009, a new accounting standard was issued which amends the consolidation guidance applicable to variable interest entities (“VIEs”), the approach for determining the primary beneficiary of a VIE, and disclosure requirements of a Company’s involvement with VIEs. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009 and is required to be adopted by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2011. The adoption of this standard will not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations and could require that future sales of accounts receivable be treated as a financing activity in the statement of cash flows and as a liability on the Company’s balance sheet (see Note 8).

3. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company grants equity compensation awards to acquire the Company’s ordinary shares from four plans, and which collectively are referred to as the Company’s equity compensation plans below. For further discussion of these Plans, refer to Note 2, “Summary of Accounting Policies,” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009.

Compensation expense for the Company’s stock options and unvested share bonus awards was as follows:

	Three-Month Periods Ended				Six-Month Periods Ended
	October 2, 2009		September 26, 2008		October 2, 2009		September 26, 2008
	(In thousands)				(In thousands)
Cost of sales	$	2,375	$	2,148	$	5,015	$	4,191
Selling, general and administrative expenses		10,620		15,348		23,183		27,321
Total stock-based compensation expense	$	12,995	$	17,496	$	28,198	$	31,512

On July 14, 2009, the Company launched an exchange offer under which eligible employees had the opportunity to voluntarily exchange their eligible stock options granted under certain of the Company’s equity compensation plans for a lesser amount of replacement stock options granted under one of the Company’s current equity incentive plans with new exercise prices equal to the closing price of the Company’s ordinary shares on the date of exchange (the “Exchange”). The Exchange offer was open to all active U.S. and international employees of the Company, except in those jurisdictions where the local law, administrative burden or similar considerations made participation in the program illegal, inadvisable or impractical, and where exclusion otherwise was consistent with the Company’s compensation policies with respect to those jurisdictions. The Exchange offer was not open to the Company’s Board of Directors or its executive officers. To be eligible for exchange an option must: (i) have had an exercise price of at least $10.00 per share, (ii) have been outstanding, and (iii) have been granted at least 12 months prior to the commencement date of the Exchange offer. All replacement option grants were subject to a vesting schedule of two, three or four years from the date of grant of the replacement options depending on the remaining vesting period of the option grants surrendered for cancellation in the Exchange. The number of replacement options an eligible employee received in exchange for an eligible option grant was determined by an exchange ratio applicable to that option. Stock options with exercise prices between $10.00 and $11.99 were exchangeable for new options at a rate of 1.5 existing options per new option grant, and stock options with exercise prices of $12.00 or more were exchangeable at a rate of 2.4 existing options per new option grant. Outstanding Options covering approximately 29.8 million shares were eligible to participate in the Exchange.

The Exchange was completed on August 11, 2009. Approximately 27.9 million stock options were tendered in the Exchange, and approximately 16.9 million replacement options were granted with an exercise price of $5.57, a weighted average vesting term of 1.58 years, and a contractual life of 7 years. The Exchange was accounted for as a modification of the existing option awards tendered in the Exchange. As a result of the Exchange, the Company will recognize approximately $1.8 million in incremental compensation expense over the expected service period of the replacement grants’ vesting terms.

10

Excluding options granted in the Exchange, for the three months ended October 2, 2009, the Company granted 302,900 stock options and 317,229 unvested share bonus awards, at a weighted average fair value per award of $2.70 and $7.31, respectively. As of October 2, 2009, total unrecognized compensation expense related to stock options was $75.9 million, net of estimated forfeitures, and will be recognized over a weighted average vesting period of 2.3 years. Total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested share bonus awards was $64.2 million, net of estimated forfeitures, and will be recognized over a weighted average vesting period of 1.7 years. Approximately $29.6 million of the unrecognized compensation cost is related to awards where vesting is contingent upon meeting both a service requirement and achievement of longer-term goals. As of October 2, 2009, management believes achievement of these goals is not probable, and these unvested share bonus awards are not expected to vest and the cost is not expected to be recognized.

The number of options outstanding and exercisable as of October 2, 2009 were 64.9 million and 25.2 million, at weighted average exercise prices of $7.10 and $10.50, respectively.

4. EARNINGS PER SHARE

The following table reflects the basic and diluted weighted-average ordinary shares outstanding used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share:

	Three-Month Periods Ended				Six-Month Periods Ended
	October 2, 2009		September 26, 2008		October 2, 2009			September 26, 2008
	(In thousands, except per share amounts)
Basic earnings per share:
Net income (loss)	$	19,659	$	27,071	$	(134,384	)	$	146,280
Shares used in computation:
Weighted-average ordinary shares outstanding		811,364		828,182		810,769			832,337
Basic earnings (loss) per share	$	0.02	$	0.03	$	(0.17	)	$	0.18
Diluted earnings per share:
Net income (loss)	$	19,659	$	27,071	$	(134,384	)	$	146,280
Shares used in computation:
Weighted-average ordinary shares outstanding		811,364		828,182		810,769			832,337
Weighted-average ordinary share equivalents from stock options and awards (1)		5,896		1,848		—			2,942
Weighted-average ordinary share equivalents from convertible notes (2)		—		—		—			—
Weighted-average ordinary shares and ordinary share equivalents outstanding		817,260		830,030		810,769			835,279
Diluted earnings (loss) per share	$	0.02	$	0.03	$	(0.17	)	$	0.18

(1)	As a result of the Company’s net loss, ordinary share equivalents from approximately 5.3 million options and share bonus awards were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share for the six-month period ended October 2, 2009. Ordinary share equivalents from stock options to purchase approximately 41.1 million and 50.0 million shares outstanding during the three-month and six-month periods ended October 2, 2009, respectively, and 65.1 million and 54.5 million shares outstanding during the three-month and six-month periods ended September 26, 2008, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share primarily because the exercise price of these options was greater than the average market price of the Company’s ordinary shares during the respective periods.
(2)	On July 31, 2009, the principal amount of the Company’s Zero Coupon Convertible Junior Subordinated Notes was settled in cash upon maturity. These notes carried conversion provisions to issue shares to settle any conversion spread (excess of the conversion value over the face value) in stock. The face value was $10.50 per share. On the maturity date the Company’s stock price was less than the face value, and therefore no shares were issued.
	During December 2008, the Company purchased an aggregate principal amount of $260.0 million of its outstanding 1% Convertible Subordinated Notes, which resulted in a reduction of the ordinary share equivalents into which such notes were convertible from approximately 32.2 million to approximately 15.5 million. As the Company has the positive intent and ability to settle the principal amount of these notes in cash, all ordinary share equivalents related to the principal portion of the Notes are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share. The Company intends to settle any conversion spread (excess of the conversion value over face value) in stock. The conversion price is $15.525 per share (subject to certain adjustments). During the three-month and six-month periods ended October 2, 2009 and September 26, 2008, the conversion obligation was less than the principal portion of these notes and accordingly, no additional shares were included as ordinary share equivalents.

Non-current portion	$	2,297,735		$	2,733,543

As of October 2, 2009 and March 31, 2009, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Company’s $2.0 billion credit facility, and the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants under this credit facility.

On July 31, 2009, the Company paid $195.0 million to redeem the Zero Coupon Convertible Junior Subordinated Notes upon their maturity. These notes carried conversion provisions to issue shares to settle any conversion spread (excess of the conversion value over the face value) in stock. The face value was $10.50 per share. On the maturity date, the Company’s stock price was less than the face value, and therefore no shares were issued.

During June 2009, the Company paid approximately $203.2 million to purchase an aggregate principal amount of $99.8 million of its outstanding 6 ¹/2% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013 (the “6 ¹/2% Notes”) and an aggregate principal amount of $99.9 million of its outstanding 6 ¹/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014 (the “6 ¹/4% Notes” and collectively referred to as the “Notes”) in a cash tender offer (the “Offer”). The cash paid included $8.8 million in consent fees (as discussed further below) paid to holders of the Notes that were tendered but not purchased as well as to holders that consented but did not tender, which were capitalized and will be recognized as a component of interest expense over the remaining life of the Notes. The Company recognized an immaterial gain during the six-month period ended October 2, 2009 associated with the partial extinguishment of the Notes, net of approximately $5.3 million for transaction costs and the write-down of related debt issuance costs, which is included in Other charges, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

12

In conjunction with the Offer, the Company obtained consents from the holders of Notes tendered but not purchased, as well as from holders that consented but did not tender, to certain amendments to the restricted payments covenants and certain related definitions in each of the indentures (the “Indentures”) under which the Notes were issued. The amendments permit the Company greater flexibility to purchase or make other payments in respect of its equity securities and debt that is subordinated to the Notes and to make certain other restricted payments under each Indenture.

Adjustments to Beginning Accumulated Deficit and Interest Expense

On April 1, 2009, the Company adopted a new accounting standard related to accounting for convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion. The adoption of the new standard affected the accounting for the Company’s 1% Convertible Subordinated Notes and Zero Coupon Convertible Junior Subordinated Notes (collectively referred to as the “Convertible Notes”) by requiring the initial proceeds from their sale to be allocated between a liability component and an equity component in a manner that results in interest expense on the debt component at the Company’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate on the date of issuance.

The standard required the Company to record the change in accounting principle retrospectively to all periods presented, which included cumulative effect adjustments as of March 31, 2009 to the opening balance of Accumulated deficit of approximately $225.0 million, an approximate $27.6 million reduction in the carrying value of the Convertible Notes, an increase in the recorded value of Ordinary shares of approximately $252.0 million, which represents the carrying amount of the equity component, and a reduction to deferred financing costs of approximately $525,000, which is included in Other assets. The adjustment to Accumulated deficit represented imputed interest for the period from issuance of each convertible note to March 31, 2009, and a $5.8 million reduction in the gain recognized during the three-month period ended December 31, 2008 for the partial extinguishment of the 1% Convertible Subordinated Notes. Coupon interest expense and discount amortization related to the original issuance costs was immaterial for all periods presented.

The estimated fair value of the initial debt components of the Company’s 1% Convertible Subordinated Notes and Zero Coupon Convertible Junior Subordinated Notes were $310.9 million and $111.3 million, respectively, based on the present value of the contractual cash flows discounted at an appropriate comparable market nonconvertible debt borrowing rate at the date of issuance. The Company is amortizing the discounts using the effective interest method over the period the debt is expected to remain outstanding as additional interest expense. The amortization of the discount resulted in effective interest rates of 8.21% for the 1% Convertible Subordinated Notes and 9.23% for the Zero Coupon Convertible Junior Subordinated Notes. The adoption of the new standard had no impact on the Company’s consolidated cash flows. Below is a summary of the financial statement effects of implementing the new standard on the affected notes and interest expense.

Amortization of discount net of adjustments to deferred financing costs	$	7,561	$	14,500	$	5,976	$	8,004

As a result of the new standard, basic and diluted net income per share decreased by $0.01 for the three-month period and increased the net loss per share by $0.02 for the six-month period ended October 2, 2009. Basic and diluted net income per share decreased by $0.01 and $0.03 for the three-month and six-month periods ended September 26, 2008, respectively.

Fair Values

As of October 2, 2009, the approximate fair values of the Company’s 6.5% Senior Subordinated Notes, 6.25% Senior Subordinated Notes, 1% Convertible Subordinated Notes and debt outstanding under its Term Loan Agreement were 97.0%, 96.0%, 97.1% and 91.3% of the face values of the debt obligations, respectively, based on broker trading prices.

Interest Expense

During the three-month and six-month periods ended October 2, 2009, the Company recognized interest expense of $39.3 million and $85.5 million (including $5.5 million and $13.5 million for the application of the new accounting standard discussed above, respectively, on its debt obligations outstanding during the period. During the three-month and six-month periods ended September 26, 2008, the Company recognized interest expense of $64.8 million and $134.1 million (including $11.4 million and $22.5 million for the retrospective application of the new accounting standard), respectively, on its debt obligations.

Total Notional Contract Value in USD				$	1,700,700

As of October 2, 2009 and March 31, 2009, the fair value of the Company’s short-term foreign currency contracts was not material and is included in Other current assets or Other current liabilities, as applicable, in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Certain of these contracts are designed to economically hedge the Company’s exposure to monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a non-functional currency and are not accounted for as a hedging activity. Accordingly, changes in fair value of these instruments are recognized in earnings during the period of change as a component of Interest and other expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. As of October 2, 2009 and March 31, 2009, the Company also has included net deferred gains and losses, respectively, in other comprehensive income, a component of shareholders’ equity in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, relating to changes in fair value of its foreign currency contracts that are accounted for as cash flow hedges. These deferred gains and losses were not material, and the deferred gains as of October 2, 2009 are expected to be recognized as a component of cost of sales in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations over the next twelve month period. The gains and losses recognized in earnings due to hedge ineffectiveness were not material for all fiscal periods presented and are included as a component of Interest and other expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Interest Rate Swap Agreements

The Company is also exposed to variability in cash flows associated with changes in short-term interest rates primarily on borrowings under its revolving credit facility and term loan agreement. During fiscal years 2009 and 2008, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements to mitigate the exposure to interest rate risk resulting from unfavorable changes in interest rates resulting from the term loan agreement, as summarized below:

Notional Amount	Fixed Interest			Interest Payment
(in millions)	Rate Payable			Received	Term	Expiration Date
Fiscal 2009 Contracts:
$100.0		1.94	%	1-Month Libor	12 month	January 2010
$100.0		2.45	%	3-Month Libor	12 month	January 2010
$100.0		1.00	%	1-Month Libor	12 month	March 2010
$100.0		1.00	%	1-Month Libor	12 month	April 2010
Fiscal 2008 Contracts:
$250.0		3.61	%	1-Month Libor	34 months	October 2010
$250.0		3.61	%	1-Month Libor	34 months	October 2010
$175.0		3.60	%	3-Month Libor	36 months	January 2011
$72.0		3.57	%	3-Month Libor	36 months	January 2011
$1,147.0

These contracts provide for the receipt of interest payments at rates equal to the terms of the various tranches of the underlying borrowings outstanding under the term loan arrangement (excluding the applicable margin), other than the two $250.0 million swaps, expiring October 2010, and the $100 million swap expiring January 2010, which provide for the receipt of interest at one-month Libor while the underlying borrowings are based on three-month Libor.

All of the Company’s interest rate swap agreements are accounted for as cash flow hedges, and there was no charge for ineffectiveness during the three-month and six-month periods ended October 2, 2009 and September 26, 2008. For the three-month and six-month periods ended October 2, 2009 and September 26, 2008 the net amount recorded as interest expense from these swaps was not material. As of October 2, 2009 and March 31, 2009 the fair value of the Company’s interest rate swaps was not material and is included in Other current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, with a corresponding decrease in other comprehensive income. The deferred losses included in other comprehensive income will effectively be released through earnings as the Company makes fixed, and receives variable, interest payments over the remaining term of the swaps through January 2011.

8. TRADE RECEIVABLES SECURITIZATION

The Company continuously sells designated pools of trade receivables under two asset backed securitization programs.

Global Asset-Backed Securitization Agreement

The Company continuously sells a designated pool of trade receivables to a third-party qualified special purpose entity, which in turn sells an undivided ownership interest to two commercial paper conduits, administered by an unaffiliated financial institution. In addition to these commercial paper conduits, the Company participates in the securitization agreement as an investor in the conduit. The securitization agreement allows the operating subsidiaries participating in the securitization program to receive a cash payment for sold receivables, less a deferred purchase price receivable. The Company continues to service, administer and collect the receivables on behalf of the special purpose entity and receives a servicing fee of 1.00% of serviced receivables per annum. Servicing fees recognized during the three-month and six-month periods ended October 2, 2009 and September 26, 2008 were not material and are included in Interest and other expense, net within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. As the Company estimates that the fee it receives in return for its obligation to service these receivables is at fair value, no servicing assets or liabilities are recognized.

During October 2009, the agreement was amended such that the Obligor Specific Tranche (“OST”) in the amount of $100.0 million was removed, and the maximum investment limit of the two commercial paper conduits was increased to $500.0 million exclusive of the OST. Additionally, the Company now pays commitment and program fees totaling 1.5% per annum under the facility to the extent funded through the issuance of commercial paper.

16

The third-party special purpose entity is a qualifying special purpose entity, and accordingly, the Company does not consolidate this entity. As of October 2, 2009 and March 31, 2009, approximately $462.1 million and $422.0 million of the Company’s accounts receivable, respectively, had been sold to this third-party qualified special purpose entity. The amounts represent the face amount of the total outstanding trade receivables on all designated customer accounts on those dates. The accounts receivable balances that were sold under this agreement were removed from the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and are reflected as cash provided by operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company received net cash proceeds of approximately $299.4 million and $298.1 million from the commercial paper conduits for the sale of these receivables as of October 2, 2009 and March 31, 2009, respectively. The difference between the amount sold to the commercial paper conduits (net of the Company’s investment participation) and net cash proceeds received from the commercial paper conduits is recognized as a loss on sale of the receivables and recorded in Interest and other expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company has a recourse obligation that is limited to the deferred purchase price receivable. The deferred purchase price receivable, which approximates 5% of the total sold receivables, and the Company’s own investment participation, the aggregate total of which was approximately $162.7 million and $123.8 million as of October 2, 2009 and March 31, 2009, respectively, is recorded in Other current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of October 2, 2009 and March 31, 2009. The amount of the Company’s own investment participation varies depending on certain criteria, mainly the collection performance on the sold receivables. As the recoverability of the trade receivables underlying the Company’s own investment participation is determined in conjunction with the Company’s accounting policies for determining provisions for doubtful accounts prior to sale into the third party qualified special purpose entity, the fair value of the Company’s own investment participation reflects the estimated recoverability of the underlying trade receivables.

North American Asset-Backed Securitization Agreement

The Company continuously sells a designated pool of trade receivables to an affiliated special purpose vehicle, which in turn sells an undivided ownership interest to an agent on behalf of two commercial paper conduits administered by unaffiliated financial institutions. The Company continues to service, administer and collect the receivables on behalf of the special purpose entity and receives a servicing fee of 0.50% per annum on the outstanding balance of the serviced receivables. Servicing fees recognized during the three-month and six month periods ended October 2, 2009 were not material and are included in Interest and other expense, net within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. As the Company estimates that the fee it receives in return for its obligation to service these receivables is at fair value, no servicing assets or liabilities are recognized.

The maximum investment limit of the two commercial paper conduits is $300.0 million. During September 2009, the agreement was amended such that the Company pays commitment fees of 0.80% per annum on the aggregate amount of the liquidity commitments of the financial institutions under the facility (which approximates the maximum investment limit) and program fees of 0.70% on the aggregate amounts invested under the facility by the conduits to the extent funded through the issuance of commercial paper.

The affiliated special purpose vehicle is not a qualifying special purpose entity, since the Company, by design of the transaction, absorbs the majority of expected losses from transfers of trade receivables into the special purpose vehicle and, as such, is deemed the primary beneficiary of this entity. Accordingly, the Company consolidates the special purpose vehicle. As of October 2, 2009 and March 31, 2009, the Company transferred approximately $426.4 million and $448.7 million, respectively, of receivables into the special purpose vehicle described above. The Company sold approximately $180.2 million of the $426.4 million of receivables as of October 2, 2009, and $173.8 million of the $448.7 million of receivables as of March 31, 2009 to the two commercial paper conduits and received approximately $179.5 million and $173.1 million as of October 2, 2009 and March 31, 2009, respectively, in net cash proceeds for the sales. The accounts receivable balances that were sold to the two commercial paper conduits under this agreement were removed from the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and are reflected as cash provided by operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, and the difference between the amount sold and net cash proceeds received was recognized as a loss on sale of the receivables, and is recorded in Interest and other expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The remaining trade receivables transferred into the special purpose vehicle and not sold to the two commercial paper conduits comprise the primary assets of that entity, and are included in trade accounts receivable, net in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets of the Company. The recoverability of these trade receivables, both those included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and those sold but uncollected by the commercial paper conduits, is determined in conjunction with the Company’s accounting policies for determining provisions for doubtful accounts. Although the special purpose vehicle is fully consolidated by the Company, it is a separate corporate entity and its assets are available first to satisfy the claims of its creditors.

17

The Company also sold accounts receivables to certain third-party banking institutions with limited recourse, which management believes is nominal. The outstanding balance of receivables sold and not yet collected was approximately $90.7 million and $171.6 million as of October 2, 2009 and March 31, 2009, respectively. These receivables were removed from the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and are reflected as cash provided by operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

9. RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

The Company recognized restructuring charges of approximately $12.6 million and $77.4 million during the three-month and six-month periods ended October 2, 2009 as part of its restructuring plans previously announced in March 2009 in order to rationalize the Company’s global manufacturing capacity and infrastructure in response to macroeconomic conditions. The costs associated with these restructuring activities include employee severance, costs related to owned and leased facilities and equipment that is no longer in use and is to be disposed of, and other costs associated with the exit of certain contractual arrangements due to facility closures. The restructuring charges by reportable geographic region for the six-month period amounted to approximately $36.0 million, $16.6 million and $24.8 million for Asia, the Americas and Europe, respectively. The Company classified approximately $12.4 million and $64.5 million of these charges as a component of cost of sales during the three-month and six-month periods ended October 2, 2009, respectively.

During the six-month period ended October 2, 2009 the Company recognized approximately $26.5 million of employee termination costs associated with the involuntary terminations of 3,046 identified employees. The involuntary employee terminations by reportable geographic region amounted to approximately 607, 1,635 and 804 for Asia, the Americas and Europe respectively. Approximately $23.0 million of these charges were classified as a component of cost of sales.

During the six-month period ended October 2, 2009, the Company recognized approximately $35.5 million for the write-down of property and equipment, which is no longer in use, to management’s estimate of fair value. Approximately $25.8 million of these charges were classified as a component of cost of sales. The restructuring charges recognized during the six-month period ended October 2, 2009 also included approximately $15.4 million for other exit costs, all of which was primarily classified as a component of cost of sales. Other exit costs were primarily comprised of contractual obligations associated with facility and equipment lease terminations and facility abandonment and refurbishment costs.

As of October 2, 2009, accrued costs related to restructuring charges incurred during fiscal year 2010 were approximately $12.2 million, which was all classified as a current obligation.

As of October 2, 2009 and March 31, 2009, accrued restructuring costs for charges incurred during fiscal year 2009 were approximately $21.5 million and $79.0 million, respectively, of which approximately $3.4 million and $4.8 million, respectively, were classified as long-term obligations. As of October 2, 2009 and March 31, 2009, accrued restructuring costs for charges incurred during fiscal years 2008 and prior were approximately $55.4 million and $82.4 million, respectively, of which approximately $23.7 million and $29.0 million, respectively, were classified as long-term obligations.

The Company recognized restructuring charges of approximately $29.2 million during the six-month period ended September 26, 2008 primarily for employee termination costs associated with the involuntary terminations of 1,667 identified employees. The activities associated with these charges were substantially completed within one year of the commitment dates of the respective activities. The Company classified approximately $26.3 million of these charges as a component of cost of sales during the six-month period ended September 28, 2008.

As of October 2, 2009 and March 31, 2009, assets that were no longer in use and held for sale totaled approximately $60.5 million and $46.8 million, respectively, primarily representing manufacturing facilities that have been closed as part of the Company’s historical facility consolidations. For assets held for sale, depreciation ceases and an impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value less cost to sell. Assets held for sale are included in Other current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

For further discussion of the Company’s historical restructuring activities, refer to Note 9 “Restructuring Charges” to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009.

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is subject to legal proceedings, claims, and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company defends itself vigorously against any such claims. Although the outcome of these matters is currently not determinable, management does not expect that the ultimate costs to resolve these matters will have a material adverse effect on its condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

11. BUSINESS AND ASSET ACQUISITIONS

During the six-month period ended October 2, 2009, the Company paid approximately $59.1 million relating to the contingent consideration or deferred purchase price payments related to four historical acquisitions. The purchase price for certain historical acquisitions is subject to adjustments for contingent consideration. Generally, the contingent consideration has not been recorded as part of the purchase price, pending the outcome of the contingency.

During the six-month period ended September 26, 2008, the Company completed six acquisitions that were not individually, or in the aggregate, significant to the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial position. The acquired businesses complement the Company’s design and manufacturing capabilities for the computing, infrastructure, industrial and consumer digital market segments, and expanded the Company’s power supply capabilities. The aggregate cash paid for these acquisitions totaled approximately $179.8 million, net of cash acquired. The purchase prices for these acquisitions have been allocated on the basis of the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company also paid approximately $2.4 million relating to a contingent purchase price adjustment from a certain historical acquisition.

OVERVIEW

We are a leading provider of advanced design and electronics manufacturing services (“EMS”) to original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) of a broad range of products in the following markets: infrastructure; mobile communication devices; computing; consumer digital devices; industrial, semiconductor and white goods; automotive, marine and aerospace; and medical devices. We provide a full range of vertically-integrated global supply chain services through which we design, build, ship and service a complete packaged product for our customers. Customers leverage our services to meet their product requirements throughout the entire product life cycle. Our vertically-integrated service offerings include: design services; rigid printed circuit board and flexible circuit fabrication; systems assembly and manufacturing; logistics; after-sales services; and multiple component product offerings.

We are one of the world’s largest EMS providers, with revenues of $5.8 billion and $11.6 billion during the three-month and six-month periods ended October 2, 2009, and $30.9 billion in fiscal year 2009. As of March 31, 2009, our total manufacturing capacity was approximately 27.2 million square feet. We help customers design, build, ship and service electronics products through a network of facilities in 30 countries across four continents. The following tables set forth net sales and net property and equipment, by country, based on the location of our manufacturing site (in thousands):

We believe that the combination of our extensive design and engineering services, significant scale and global presence, vertically-integrated end-to-end services, advanced supply chain management, industrial campuses in low-cost geographic areas and operational track record provide us with a competitive advantage in the market for designing, manufacturing and servicing electronics products for leading multinational OEMs. Through these services and facilities, we simplify the global product development and manufacturing process and provide meaningful time to market and cost savings for our OEM customers.

Our operating results are affected by a number of factors, including the following:

• changes in the macroeconomic environment and related changes in consumer demand;

• our exposure to financially troubled customers;

• the effects on our business when our customers are not successful in marketing their products, when their products do not gain widespread commercial acceptance, as well as the effects on our business due to our customers’ products having short product life cycles;

• our customers’ ability to cancel or delay orders or change production quantities;

• integration of acquired businesses and facilities;

• the mix of the manufacturing services we are providing, the number and size of new manufacturing programs, the degree to which we utilize our manufacturing capacity, seasonal demand, shortages of components and other factors;

• our increased design services and components offerings, which at times has reduced our profitability as we are required to make substantial investments in the resources necessary to design and develop these products without cost recovery and margin generation; and

• our ability to achieve commercially viable production yields and to manufacture components in commercial quantities to the performance specifications demanded by our OEM customers.

Historically, the EMS industry experienced significant change and growth as an increasing number of companies elected to outsource some or all of their design, manufacturing, and distribution requirements. Following the 2001 — 2002 technology downturn, and until the current macroeconomic downturn, we saw an overall increase in penetration of global OEM manufacturing requirements as more and more OEMs pursued the benefits of outsourcing rather than internal manufacturing. As a result of recent macroeconomic conditions, the global economic crisis and related decline in demand for our customers’ products, many of our OEM customers have reduced their manufacturing and supply chain outsourcing, which has negatively impacted our capacity utilization levels and thus the overall profitability of the Company. In response, we announced in March 2009 restructuring plans intended to rationalize our global manufacturing capacity and infrastructure with the intent to improve our operational efficiencies by reducing excess workforce and capacity. We have recognized approximately $228.0 million of associated charges since the announcement, with approximately $12.6 million and $77.4 million recognized during the three-month and six-month periods ended October 2, 2009. We estimate approximately $22.0 million of restructuring related charges associated with these actions remain.

22

We are focused on managing the controllable aspects of business during this economic downturn; and have and will continue to seek ways to control and reduce costs to minimize the macroeconomic impact on our profitability, while continuing to attract new customer business.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Net sales

Net sales during the three-month period ended October 2, 2009 totaled $5.8 billion, representing a decrease of $3.1 billion, or 35%, from $8.9 billion during the three-month period ended September 26, 2008, primarily due to reduced customer demand as a result of the weakened macroeconomic environment. Sales decreased across all of the markets we serve, consisting of: (i) $1.2 billion in the infrastructure market, (ii) $738.3 million in the mobile communications market, (iii) $504.9 million in the consumer digital market, (iv) $330.4 million in the computing market and (v) $300.8 million in the industrial, medical, automotive and other markets. Net sales also decreased across all of the geographic regions we serve including $1.7 billion in Asia, $950.1 million in the Americas, and $401.5 million in Europe.

Net sales during the six-month period ended October 2, 2009 totaled $11.6 billion, representing a decrease of $5.6 billion, or 33%, from $17.2 billion during the six-month period ended September 26, 2008, primarily due to reduced customer demand as a result of the weakened macroeconomic environment. Sales decreased across all of the markets we serve, consisting of: (i) $2.2 billion in the infrastructure market, (ii) $1.1 billion in the mobile communications market, (iii) $824.7 million in the industrial, medical, automotive and other markets, (iv) $755.4 million in the consumer digital market, and (v) $656.7 million in the computing market. Net sales during the six-month period ended October 2, 2009 decreased across all of the geographic regions we serve including $3.3 billion in Asia, $1.8 billion in the Americas, and $540.2 million in Europe.

23

Our ten largest customers during the three-month and six-month periods ended October 2, 2009 accounted for approximately 47% of net sales in each period, respectively, with no customer accounting for greater than 10% of our net sales during either period. Our ten largest customers during the three-month and six-month periods ended September 26, 2008 accounted for approximately 53% and 54% of net sales, respectively, with Sony-Ericsson accounting for greater than 10% of our net sales for both periods.

Gross profit

Gross profit is affected by a number of factors, including the number and size of new manufacturing programs, product mix, component costs and availability, product life cycles, unit volumes, pricing, competition, new product introductions, capacity utilization and the expansion and consolidation of manufacturing facilities. Gross profit during the three-month period ended October 2, 2009 decreased $117.9 million to $299.6 million, or 5.1% of net sales, from $417.5 million, or 4.7% of net sales, during the three-month period ended September 26, 2008. The 40 basis point period-over-period increase in gross margin was primarily attributable to a $96.7 million charge recognized in the fiscal 2009 second quarter for the write-down of inventory and related contractual obligations associated with customers that were experiencing significant financial difficulty, partially offset by lower capacity utilization as a result of recent macroeconomic conditions and related decline in customer demand, net of cost reduction benefits from our recent restructuring activities.

Gross profit during the six-month period ended October 2, 2009 decreased $350.6 million to $523.6 million, or 4.5% of net sales, from $874.2 million, or 5.1% of net sales, during the six-month period ended September 26, 2008. The 60 basis point period-over-period decrease in gross margin was primarily the result of lower capacity utilization in the current period as a result of current macroeconomic conditions and related decline in customer demand. In addition, we recognized an approximate 40 basis point increase in restructuring charges in the current period as compared with the year ago period. The factors contributing to the decrease in gross margin during fiscal 2010 were offset by a $96.7 million, or approximately 60 basis point, charge in the fiscal 2009 period for the write-down of inventory and related contractual obligations associated with customers that were experiencing significant financial difficulty.

Restructuring charges

We recognized restructuring charges of approximately $12.6 million and $77.4 million during the three-month and six-month periods ended October 2, 2009. Restructuring charges incurred during the three-month and six-month periods ended October 2, 2009 were primarily related to rationalizing the Company’s global manufacturing capacity and infrastructure as a result of the current macroeconomic conditions. This global recession and related decline in demand for our customers’ products across all of the industries the Company serves, has caused our OEM customers to reduce their manufacturing and supply chain outsourcing and has negatively impacted the Company’s capacity utilization levels. Our restructuring activities are intended to improve the Company’s operational efficiencies by reducing excess workforce and capacity. The costs associated with these restructuring activities included employee severance, costs related to owned and leased facilities and equipment that is no longer in use and is to be disposed of, and other costs associated with the exit of certain contractual arrangements due to facility closures. We classified approximately $12.4 million and $64.5 million of the charges as a component of cost of sales during the three-month and six-month periods ended October 2, 2009. The charges recognized by reportable geographic region during the six-month period ended October 2, 2009 amounted to $36.0 million, $16.6 million and $24.8 million for Asia, the Americas and Europe, respectively. Approximately $35.5 million of the charges were non-cash, for the write-down of property and equipment, which is no longer in use, to management’s estimate of fair value, for the six-month period ended October 2, 2009. As of October 2, 2009, accrued costs related to restructuring charges incurred during the six-month period ended October 2, 2009 were approximately $12.2 million, all of which were classified as a short-term obligation.

We recognized $29.2 million of restructuring charges during the six-month period ended September 26, 2008. Restructuring charges were due to the Company realigning workforce and capacity.

24

Refer to Note 9, “Restructuring Charges,” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of our restructuring activities.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses, or SG&A, amounted to $176.2 million, or 3.0% of net sales, during the three-month period ended October 2, 2009, compared to $258.7 million, or 2.9% of net sales, during the three-month period ended September 26, 2008. The decrease in SG&A expense during the three-month period ended October 2, 2009 was primarily the result of our restructuring activities and discretionary cost reduction actions. The increase in SG&A as a percentage of net sales during the three-month period ended October 2, 2009, was primarily attributable to the rapid and significant decline in sales, which exceeded our ability to reduce costs in the short-term.

Selling, general and administrative expenses, or SG&A, amounted to $377.9 million, or 3.3% of net sales, during the six-month period ended October 2, 2009, compared to $507.3 million, or 2.9% of net sales, during the six-month period ended September 26, 2008. The decrease in SG&A expense during the six-month period ended October 2, 2009 was primarily the result of our restructuring activities and discretionary cost reduction actions. The increase in SG&A as a percentage of net sales during the six-month period ended October 2, 2009, was primarily attributable to the rapid and significant decline in sales, which exceeded our ability to reduce costs in the short-term.

Intangible amortization

Amortization of intangible assets during the three-month period ended October 2, 2009 decreased by $27.6 million to $22.7 million from $50.3 million during the three-month period ended September 26, 2008, primarily due to the Company’s use of the accelerated method of amortization for certain customer related intangibles, which results in decreasing expense over time.

Amortization of intangible assets during the six-month period ended October 2, 2009 decreased by $29.6 million to $46.0 million from $75.6 million during the six-month period ended September 26, 2008. The reduction in expense during the six-month period ended October 2, 2009 was primarily due to the use of the accelerated method of amortization for certain customer related intangibles, which results in decreasing expense over time.

Other charges, net

During the second quarter of fiscal year 2010, we recognized charges totaling approximately $92.0 million associated with the impairment of notes receivable from one affiliate and an equity investment in another affiliate. The notes receivable were partially impaired during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009 based on discussions with a third party for the potential sale of the notes and the related expected recoverable value. Subsequent deterioration in the affiliate’s business prospects, cash flow expectations, and increased liquidity concerns has resulted in an additional impairment. Similarly, deterioration in the business prospects and liquidity concerns of the equity investment occurring in the six-month period ended October 2, 2009 has resulted in an impairment of the carrying value to the estimated recoverable value.

In August 2009, we sold one of our non-majority owned investments and related note receivable for approximately $252.5 million, net of closing costs. In conjunction with this transaction we recognized an impairment charge of approximately $107.4 million in the three-month period ended July 3, 2009. Total impairment charges related to our equity investments and notes receivable for the six-month period ended October 2, 2009 were approximately $199.4 million.

During the three-month and six-month periods ended September 26, 2008, we recognized $11.9 million in charges for other-than-temporary impairment of certain of our investments primarily associated with a customer that was experiencing significant financial and liquidity difficulties.

Interest and other expense, net

On April 1, 2009, the Company adopted a new accounting standard related to accounting for convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion. The adoption of the new standard affected the accounting for the Company’s 1% Convertible Subordinated Notes and Zero Coupon Convertible Junior Subordinated Notes (collectively referred to as the “Convertible Notes”) by requiring the initial proceeds from their sale to be allocated between a liability component and an equity component in a manner that results in interest expense on the debt component at the Company’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate on the date of issuance. The standard required the Company to record the change in accounting principle retrospectively to all periods presented. As a result of the adoption of this standard, we recognized approximately $5.5 million and $13.5 million in incremental non-cash interest expense during the three-month and six-month periods ended October 2, 2009. In addition, we retrospectively adjusted interest and other expense, net for the three-month and six-month periods ended September 26, 2008 to include $11.4 million and $22.5 million of incremental non-cash interest expense.

25

Interest and other expense, net was $38.1 million during the three-month period ended October 2, 2009 compared to $59.4 million (as restated for the retrospective application of the new accounting standard) during the three-month period ended September 26, 2008, a decrease of $21.3 million. The decrease in expense is primarily the result of less debt outstanding during the period including the approximate $200.0 million aggregate principal reduction in the 6 ¹/2% Senior Subordinated Notes and the 6 ¹/4% Senior Subordinated Notes. Further reduction in interest expense was due to, lower interest rates on our variable rate debt and a decrease in non-cash interest expense due to our repurchase of $260.0 million of principal value of our 1% Convertible Subordinated Notes in December 2008 and redemption of our Zero Coupon Convertible Junior Subordinated Notes in July 2009, partially offset by less interest income resulting from the reduction in other notes receivable that were sold during the second quarter of fiscal year 2010.

Interest and other expense, net was $75.0 million during the six-month period ended October 2, 2009 compared to $110.1 million (as restated for the retrospective application of the new accounting standard) during the six-month period ended September 26, 2008, a decrease of $35.1 million. The decrease in expense is primarily the result of less debt outstanding during the period including the approximate $200.0 million aggregate principal reduction in the 6 ¹/2% Senior Subordinated Notes and the 6 ¹/4% Senior Subordinated Notes. Further reduction in interest expense was due to lower interest rates on our variable rate debt and a decrease in non-cash interest expense due to our repurchase of $260.0 million of principal value of our 1% Convertible Subordinated Notes in December 2008 and redemption of our Zero Coupon Convertible Junior Subordinated Notes in July 2009, partially offset by less interest income resulting from the reduction in other notes receivable that were sold during the second quarter of fiscal year 2010.

Income taxes

Certain of our subsidiaries have, at various times, been granted tax relief in their respective countries, resulting in lower income taxes than would otherwise be the case under ordinary tax rates. Refer to Note 8, “Income Taxes,” of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 for further discussion.

The Company has tax loss carryforwards attributable to continuing operations for which we have recognized deferred tax assets. Our policy is to provide a reserve against those deferred tax assets that in management’s estimate are not more likely than not to be realized. During the six-month period ended October 2, 2009, the provision for income taxes includes a benefit of approximately $75.2 million for the net change in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits as a result of settlements in various tax jurisdictions. During the six-month period ended September 26, 2008, the provision for income taxes includes a benefit of approximately $38.5 million for the reversal of a valuation allowance.

The consolidated effective tax rate for a particular period varies depending on the amount of earnings from different jurisdictions, operating loss carryforwards, income tax credits, changes in previously established valuation allowances for deferred tax assets based upon our current analysis of the realizability of these deferred tax assets, as well as certain tax holidays and incentives granted to our subsidiaries primarily in China, Malaysia, Israel, Poland and Singapore.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of October 2, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2.0 billion and bank and other borrowings of approximately $2.6 billion. We also had a $2.0 billion credit facility, under which we had no borrowings outstanding as of October 2, 2009. As of October 2, 2009, we were in compliance with the covenants under the Company’s indentures and credit facilities.

Cash provided by operating activities amounted to $418.4 million during the six-month period ended October 2, 2009. The Company’s $134.4 million net loss for the period included approximately $466.5 million of non-cash expenses for depreciation, amortization, and impairment charges. The remaining increase of approximately $86.3 million in cash from operations was driven from fluctuations in net working capital and primarily driven by a reduction in inventory.

26

Cash provided by investing activities amounted to $116.1 million. This resulted primarily from proceeds related to the sale of an equity investment and note receivable for $255.3 million, net of closing costs, and was partially offset by approximately $80.2 million in capital expenditures for equipment, net of proceeds on sales and $59.1 million for deferred purchase price payments related to certain historical acquisitions.

Cash used in financing activities amounted to $405.3 million during the six-month period ended October 2, 2009. During June 2009, we used $203.2 million to repurchase an aggregate principal amount of $99.8 million of the 6 ¹/2% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013 (“6 ¹/2% Notes”) and an aggregate principal amount of $99.9 million of the 6 ¹/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014 (“6 ¹/4% Notes”) in a cash tender offer. On July 31, 2009, we paid $195.0 million to redeem the 0% Convertible Junior Subordinated Notes upon their maturity.

As of October 2, 2009, quarterly maturities of our bank borrowings, long-term debt and capital lease obligations were as follows:

	First		Second		Third		Fourth
Fiscal Year	Quarter		Quarter		Quarter		Quarter		Total
	(In thousands)

We continue to assess our capital structure, and evaluate the merits of redeploying available cash to reduce existing debt or repurchase shares. In connection with the June 2009 purchase of our outstanding 6 ¹/2% Notes and 6 ¹/4% Notes, we paid $8.8 million in fees for the consents to certain amendments to the restricted payments covenants and certain related definitions in each of the indentures under which these notes were issued. The amendments permit us greater flexibility to purchase or make other payments in respect of our equity securities and debt that is subordinated to each of the notes and to make other restricted payments under each of the indentures. The next significant debt maturity is the 1.00% Convertible Subordinated Notes due August 2010 for an amount of $240.0 million.

Liquidity is affected by many factors, some of which are based on normal ongoing operations of our business and some of which arise from fluctuations related to global economics and markets. Cash balances are generated and held in many locations throughout the world. Local government regulations may restrict our ability to move cash balances to meet cash needs under certain circumstances. We do not currently expect such regulations and restrictions to impact our ability to pay vendors and conduct operations throughout our global organization. We believe that our existing cash balances, together with anticipated cash flows from operations and borrowings available under our credit facilities, will be sufficient to fund our operations through at least the next twelve months.

Future liquidity needs will depend on fluctuations in levels of our working capital, the timing of capital expenditures for new equipment, the extent to which we utilize operating leases for new facilities and equipment, the extent of cash charges associated with any future restructuring activities, timing of cash outlays associated with historical restructuring and integration activities, and levels of shipments and changes in volumes of customer orders.

Historically, we have funded our operations from existing cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from operations, proceeds from public offerings of equity and debt securities, bank debt and lease financings. We also continuously sell a designated pool of trade receivables under asset backed securitization programs, and sell certain trade receivables, which are in addition to the trade receivables sold in connection with these securitization agreements, to certain third-party banking institutions with limited recourse. As of October 2, 2009 and March 31, 2009 we sold receivables totaling $570.4 million and $643.6 million, respectively, net of our participation through asset-backed security and other financing arrangements, which are not included in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our asset backed securitization programs include certain limits on customer default rates. Given the current macroeconomic environment, it is possible that we will experience default rates in excess of those limits, which, if not waived by the counterparty, could impair our ability to sell receivables under these arrangements in the future.

We may enter into debt and equity financings, sales of accounts receivable and lease transactions to fund acquisitions and future growth. The sale or issuance of equity or convertible debt securities could result in dilution to current shareholders. Additionally, we may issue debt securities that have rights and privileges senior to those of holders of ordinary shares, and the terms of this debt could impose restrictions on operations and could increase debt service obligations. This increased indebtedness could limit our flexibility as a result of debt service requirements and restrictive covenants, potentially affect our credit ratings, and may limit our ability to access additional capital or execute our business strategy. Any downgrades in credit ratings could adversely affect our ability to borrow by resulting in more restrictive borrowing terms.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND COMMITMENTS

Information regarding our long-term debt payments, operating lease payments, capital lease payments and other commitments is provided in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Annual Report on our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. Aside from the foregoing, there have been no material changes in our contractual obligations since March 31, 2009.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We continuously sell a designated pool of trade receivables to a third-party qualified special purpose entity, which in turn sells an undivided ownership interest to an investment conduit administered by an unaffiliated financial institution. In addition to this financial institution, we participate in the securitization agreement as an investor in the conduit. The fair value of our investment participation, together with our recourse obligation that approximates 5% of the total receivables sold, was approximately $162.7 million and $123.8 million as of October 2, 2009 and March 31, 2009, respectively. Refer to Note 8, “Trade Receivables Securitization” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There were no material changes in our exposure to market risk for changes in interest and foreign currency exchange rates for the six-month period ended October 2, 2009 as compared to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of October 2, 2009, the end of the quarterly fiscal period covered by this quarterly report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of October 2, 2009, such disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our second quarter of fiscal year 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

29

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are subject to legal proceedings, claims, and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. We defend ourselves vigorously against any such claims. Although the outcome of these matters is currently not determinable, management does not expect that the ultimate costs to resolve these matters will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2009, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be not material also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
