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 July 1, 2011, and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the three-month periods ended July 1, 2011 and July 2, 2010. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys 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, 2011, 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 23, 2011, 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, 2011 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 Companys operations have expanded over the years by a combination of internal growth and acquisitions. 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 businesses: infrastructure; mobile communication devices; computing; consumer digital devices; industrial, semiconductor capital equipment, clean technology, aerospace and defense, and white goods; automotive and marine; and medical devices. The Companys 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 Companys services to meet their product requirements throughout the entire product life cycle.
The Companys service offerings include rigid and flexible printed circuit board fabrication, systems assembly and manufacturing (including enclosures, testing services, materials procurement and inventory management), logistics, after-sales services (including product repair, warranty services, re-manufacturing and maintenance) and multiple component product offerings. Additionally, the Company provides market-specific design and engineering services ranging from contract design manufacturing (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 Companys OEM customers under the OEMs brand names. The Companys CDM and ODM services include user interface and industrial design, mechanical engineering and tooling design, electronic system design and printed circuit board design.

(2) The amount is attributable to purchase accounting adjustments for a historical acquisition that was not significant to the Company, resulting from managements review of the valuation of assets and liabilities completed in a period subsequent to the respective acquisition, based on managements estimates. The effects of the adjustments, had they been made at time of acquisition, would not have had a significant impact on the balance sheet, statement of operations, or statement of cash flows for the periods subsequent to that date.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a new accounting standard which revises the manner in which entities present comprehensive income in their financial statements. The new guidance removes the presentation options in ASC 220 and requires entities to report components of comprehensive income in either (1) a continuous statement of comprehensive income or (2) two separate but consecutive statements. For the Company, this new guidance is effective as of April 1, 2012.
In May 2011, the FASB amended fair value measurement and disclosure guidance to achieve convergence with IFRS. The amended guidance modifies the measurement of fair value, clarifies verbiage, and changes disclosure or other requirements in US GAAP and IFRS. The guidance is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2012. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
In October 2009, the FASB issued amendments to the accounting and disclosure for revenue recognition. These amendments modify the criteria for recognizing revenue in multiple element arrangements. The Company adopted the provisions of this guidance prospectively to new or materially modified arrangements beginning April 1, 2011. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial position and results of operations.
3. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
During the three-month period ended July 1, 2011, the Company granted equity compensation awards under the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (the 2010 Plan). For further discussion of the 2010 Plan, refer to Note 2, Summary of Accounting Policies, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011.
The following table summarizes the Companys stock-based compensation expense:

For the three-month period ended July 1, 2011, the Company granted 399,800 stock options, at a weighted average fair value per option of $2.67. Total unrecognized compensation expense related to stock options is $24.3 million, net of estimated forfeitures, and will be recognized over a weighted average vesting period of 1.4 years.
As of July 1, 2011, the number of options outstanding and exercisable was 52.9 million and 40.2 million, respectively, at weighted average exercise prices of $7.69 and $8.41, respectively.

Of the 7.7 million restricted share unit awards granted during the three-month period ended July 1, 2011, approximately 1.5 million represents the target amount of grants made to certain key employees whereby vesting is contingent on meeting a certain market condition. The number of shares that ultimately will vest are based on a measurement of Flextronicss total shareholder return against the Standard and Poors (S&P) 500 Composite Index and will vest over a period of four years. The actual number of shares issued can range from zero to 2.2 million. The grant-date fair value of these awards was estimated to be $7.78 per share and was calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation.
During the three-month period ended July 1, 2011, approximately 158,000 restricted share unit awards were granted to certain key employees whereby vesting is contingent upon meeting both a service requirement and achievement of longer-term Company performance goals.
As of July 1, 2011, total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested restricted share unit awards is $81.0 million, net of estimated forfeitures, and will be recognized over a weighted average vesting period of 3.3 years. Approximately $12.9 million of the unrecognized compensation cost is related to awards whereby vesting is contingent on meeting a certain market condition.

(1) Ordinary share equivalents from stock options to purchase approximately 26.7 million shares outstanding during the three-month periods ended July 1, 2011 and July 2, 2010, 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 Companys ordinary shares during the respective periods.

6. BANK BORROWINGS, LONG-TERM DEBT & CAPITAL LEASE OBLIGATIONS
As of July 1, 2011 and March 31, 2011, there were $160.0 million in borrowings outstanding under the Companys five-year $2.0 billion revolving credit facility due May 2012. The Company reclassified the balance to a current liability during the three-month period ended July 1, 2011. The Company was in compliance with the covenants under each of its debt facilities as at July 1, 2011.
Fair Values
As of July 1, 2011, the approximate fair value of the Companys debt outstanding under its $1.7 billion Term Loan Agreement was 98.9% of the face values of the debt obligations, respectively, based on broker trading prices. The Companys Asia Term Loans are not traded publicly; however, as the pricing, maturity and other pertinent terms of these loans closely approximate those of the $1.7 billion Term Loan Agreement, management estimates the respective fair values would be approximately the same.
Interest Expense
During the three-month periods ended July 1, 2011 and July 2, 2010, the Company recognized interest expense of $16.3 million and $31.3 million, respectively, on its debt obligations outstanding during the period.
7. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Foreign Currency Contracts
The Company enters into forward contracts and foreign currency swap contracts to manage the foreign currency risk associated with monetary accounts and anticipated foreign currency denominated transactions. The Company hedges committed exposures and does not engage in speculative transactions. As of July 1, 2011, the aggregate notional amount of the Companys outstanding foreign currency forward and swap contracts was $2.7 billion as summarized below:

Certain of these contracts are designed to economically hedge the Companys exposure to monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a non-functional currency and are not accounted for as hedges under the accounting standards. Accordingly, changes in the 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. Gains or losses from fair value adjustments for these instruments are designed to offset losses and gains from the Companys revaluation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a non-functional currency. As of July 1, 2011 and March 31, 2011, 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 Sheets, 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 losses as of July 1, 2011 are expected to be recognized as a component of cost of sales 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 Statements of Operations.
The following table presents the Companys assets and liabilities related to foreign currency contracts measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of July 1, 2011, aggregated by level in the fair-value hierarchy within which those measurements fall:

8. TRADE RECEIVABLES SECURITIZATION
The Company sells trade receivables under two asset-backed securitization programs and under an accounts receivable factoring program.
Asset-Backed Securitization Programs
The Company continuously sells designated pools of trade receivables under its Global Asset-Backed Securitization Agreement (the Global Program) and its North American Asset-Backed Securitization Agreement (the North American Program, collectively, the ABS Programs) to affiliated special purpose entities, which in turn sells 100% of the receivables to unaffiliated financial institutions. These programs allow the operating subsidiaries to receive a cash payment and a deferred purchase price receivable for sold receivables. The investment limits by the financial institutions are $500.0 million for the Global Program and $300.0 million for the North American Program and require a minimum level of deferred purchase price receivable to be retained by the Company in connection with the sales.
Servicing fees recognized during the three-month periods ended July 1, 2011 and July 2, 2010 were not material and are included in Interest and other expense, net within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. As
the Company estimates the fee it receives in return for its obligation to service these receivables is at fair value, no servicing assets and liabilities are recognized.
As of July 1, 2011, approximately $1.3 billion of accounts receivable had been sold to the special purpose entities under the ABS Programs for which the Company had received net cash proceeds of $601.7 million and deferred purchase price receivables of approximately $681.3 million. The deferred purchase price receivables are included in other current assets as of July 1, 2011 and are valued using unobservable inputs (i.e., level three inputs), primarily discounted cash flow, and due to its high credit quality and short maturity their fair value approximated book value. There were no write-offs, fair value adjustments or other transfers between levels in the fair value hierarchy for the deferred purchase price receivables during the three-month period ended July 1, 2011. As of March 31, 2011, approximately $1.0 billion of accounts receivable had been sold to the special purpose entities for which the Company had received net cash proceeds of $545.0 million and deferred purchase price receivables of approximately $460.0 million. Retained interests consisted primarily of the Companys investment participation in the sold receivables and were carried at the expected recovery amount of the related receivables; such amounts were included in other current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
As of July 1, 2011 and March 31, 2011, the accounts receivable balances that were sold under the ABS Programs were removed from the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and the net cash proceeds received by the Company were included as cash provided by operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. As discussed more fully in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K, upon adoption of two new accounting standards on April 1, 2010, the balance of receivables sold for cash under the Global Program as of March 31, 2010, totaling $217.1 million, was recorded as accounts receivables and short-term bank borrowings in the opening balance sheet of fiscal 2011. Upon collection of these receivables the Company recorded cash from operations offset by repayments of bank borrowings from financing activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows during the three-month period ended July 2, 2010. The difference between the carrying amount of the receivables sold under these programs and the sum of the cash and fair value of the deferred purchase price receivables received at time of transfer is recognized as a loss on sale of the related receivables and recorded in Interest and other expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations; such amounts were $3.3 million and $2.1 million for the three-month periods ended July 1, 2011, and July 2, 2010, respectively.
For the three-month period ended July 1, 2011, cash flows from sales of receivables in which the Company maintained a continuing involvement as a result of the deferred purchase price consisted of approximately $1.2 billion for transfers of receivables (of which approximately $0.1 billion represented new transfers and the remainder proceeds from collections reinvested in revolving-period transfers) and approximately $0.9 billion for collections on the deferred purchase price assets received upon the initial transfers. For the three-month period ended July 2, 2010, cash flows from sales of receivables in which the Company maintained a continuing involvement as a result of the deferred purchase price consisted of approximately $0.4 billion for transfers of receivables (of which approximately $0.2 billion represented new transfers and the remainder proceeds from collections reinvested in revolving-period transfers) and approximately $0.5 billion for collections on the deferred purchase price assets received upon the initial transfers.
Trade Accounts Receivable Sale Programs
The Company also sold accounts receivables to certain third-party banking institutions. The outstanding balance of receivables sold and not yet collected was approximately $54.1 million and $109.7 million as of July 1, 2011 and March 31, 2011, respectively. For the three-month periods ended July 1, 2011 and July 2, 2010, total accounts receivable sold to certain third party banking institutions was approximately $489.2 million and $472.6 million, respectively. The receivables that were sold were removed from the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and were reflected as cash provided by operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
9. RESTRUCTURING CHARGES
The Company did not incur restructuring charges during the three-month periods ended July 1, 2011 and July 2, 2010 and has completed essentially all activities associated with previously announced plans. During the three-month period ended July 1, 2011 the Company paid $2.9 million for restructuring charges primarily incurred in fiscal year 2010 and prior, and the remaining restructuring accrual as at July 1, 2011 was not significant.
Additionally, there were no changes to any of the previously announced plans in the current period.
10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
On June 4, 2007, a shareholder class action lawsuit was filed in Santa Clara County Superior Court. The lawsuit arises out of the merger with Solectron Corp. in 2007 and other defendants include selected officers of the Company, Solectron and Solectrons former directors and officers. On behalf of the class, the plaintiff seeks compensatory, rescissory, and other forms of damages, as well as attorneys fees and costs. The plaintiff does not seek a jury trial. On August 12, 2010, the Court certified a class of all former Solectron shareholders that were entitled to vote and receive cash or shares of the Companys stock in exchange for their shares of Solectron stock following the merger. On April 21, 2011, the Court granted a request by the plaintiffs counsel to withdraw as class counsel, and ordered the plaintiff to retain new counsel by June 24, 2011. The plaintiff failed to do so, thus on June 28, 2011, the Court issued an order to show cause why the case should not be dismissed and the hearing is scheduled for August 12, 2011. The Company believes that the claims are without merit and any possible losses resulting from such claims would not be material to the financial statements as a whole.
In addition, from time to time, the Company is subject to other 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 expects that any possible losses resulting from these matters that are in excess of amounts already accrued in its consolidated balance sheet would not be material to the financial statements as a whole.
11. SHARE REPURCHASE PLAN
On March 23, 2011, the Companys Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $200.0 million of the Companys outstanding ordinary shares. Share repurchases are made in the open market at such times and in such amounts as management deems appropriate. The timing and number of shares repurchased depends on a variety of factors including price, market conditions and applicable legal requirements. The share repurchase program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any specific number of shares and may be suspended or terminated at any time without prior notice. During the three-month period ended July 1, 2011, the Company repurchased approximately 29.0 million shares for an aggregate purchase price of $200.0 million, and retired all of these shares.
On July 18, 2011, the Companys Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $200.0 million of the Companys outstanding ordinary shares, subject to shareholder approval at the 2011 Extraordinary General Meeting of the Companys Share Purchase Mandate. The Share Purchase Mandate was approved by the Companys shareholders at the 2011 Extraordinary General Meeting on July 22, 2011.

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 and regional OEMs. Through these services and facilities, we offer our OEM customers the ability to simplify their global product development, manufacturing process, and after sales services, and enable them to achieve meaningful time to market and cost savings.
We use a portfolio management concept to manage our extensive service offering. As our OEM customers change in the way they go to market, we reorganize and rebalance our business portfolio in order to optimize our operating results. The objective of our operating model is to allow us to redeploy and reposition our assets and resources across all the markets we serve. During the three-month period ended July 1, 2011, we announced that we will be exiting the ODM personal computing business due to declining operating margins and performance metrics, as the business generated $663.2 million in sales and sustained operating losses which approximated $19.0 million for the quarter. We believe we are on target to be fully exited from this business by the end of the fiscal year 2012 and estimate operating losses of approximately $20.0 million for each of the next two quarters. We expect benefits from our ability to redeploy the associated assets into other parts of our business.
Our operating results are affected by a number of factors, including the following:
· changes in the macroeconomic environment and related changes in consumer demand;
· 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;
· the effects on our business when our customers are not successful in marketing their products, or when their products do not gain widespread commercial acceptance;
· our increased components offerings which have required that we make substantial investments in the resources necessary to design and develop these products, and the continuing operating losses which this business has been experiencing;
· our ability to achieve commercially viable production yields and to manufacture components in commercial quantities to the performance specifications demanded by our OEM customers;
· our increased design service business offering and related investments and start-up and production ramping costs;
· the effect 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;
· our customers decision to choose internal manufacturing instead of outsourcing for their product requirements;
· our exposure to financially troubled customers; and
· integration of acquired businesses and facilities.
Our business has been subject to seasonality primarily due to our High Velocity market, which includes our mobile and consumer devices businesses which historically exhibit particular strength toward the end of the calendar year in connection with the holiday season.
In our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011, we stated that we were analyzing the impacts on our industry related to the recent Japan earthquake and tsunami as many large suppliers of semiconductors and other electronic components are based in Japan. As of July 1, 2011, we have not experienced any material effects to our revenues or operations and do not expect the events in Japan to have any significant impact to our consolidated annual revenues or operations.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP or GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions.
We believe the accounting policies discussed under Item 7, Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011, affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Net sales
Net sales during the three-month period ended July 1, 2011 totaled $7.5 billion, representing an increase of approximately $1.0 billion, or 15%, from $6.6 billion during the three-month period ended July 2, 2010, primarily due to an improved macroeconomic environment that led to increased demand for our OEM customers end products.
Sales increased across all of the markets we serve, consisting of: (i) $146.1 million in the High Reliability Solutions market, (ii) $427.0 million in the High Velocity market, (iii) $128.1 million in the Industrial and Emerging Industries market, and (iv) $280.7 million in the Integrated Network Solutions market. Net sales increased $950.0 million in Asia, $122.2 million in the Europe, and decreased $90.0 million in the Americas.
The following table sets forth net sales by market:

Our ten largest customers during the three-month periods ended July 1, 2011 and July 2, 2010 accounted for approximately 55% and 48% of net sales, respectively, with only Hewlett-Packard accounting for greater than 10% of our net sales during the three-month period ending July 1, 2011 and no customer accounting for greater than 10% of our net sales during the three-month period ended July 2, 2010.
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 July 1, 2011 increased $29.4 million to $400.2 million, or 5.3% of net sales, from $370.8 million, or 5.6% of net sales, during the three-month period ended July 2, 2010. The increase in gross profit was primarily attributable to increased net sales across all of our markets. The decrease in gross margin was attributable to a higher mix of low-margin products, including products in the ODM personal computing business.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses, or SG&A, amounted to $215.9 million, or 2.8% of net sales, during
the three-month period ended July 1, 2011, increasing $20.2 million from $195.7 million, or 3.0% of net sales, during the three-month period ended July 2, 2010. The increase in absolute dollars was directly the result of an increase in headcount for various corporate support activities as well as other general infrastructure costs necessary to support the growth of our operations. The overall decrease in SG&A as a percentage of sales during the three-month period ended July 1, 2011 was primarily due to our significant increase in sales as we were able to leverage our SG&A percentage down.
Intangible amortization
Amortization of intangible assets during the three-month period ended July 1, 2011 decreased by $4.7 million to $13.3 million from $18.0 million during the three-month period ended July 2, 2010, primarily due to the use of the accelerated method of amortization for certain customer related intangibles, which results in decreasing expense over time.
Interest and other expense, net
Interest and other expense, net was $22.2 million during the three-month period ended July 1, 2011 compared to $27.5 million during the three-month period ended July 2, 2010, a decrease of $5.3 million that was primarily attributable to a reduction in interest expense. The reduction was principally due to the expiration of interest rate swaps by January 2011, which had fixed rates greater than the floating rates received under the agreements. The decrease was also, to a lesser extent, attributable to lower interest rates resulting from the Companys refinancing $542.1 million of certain subordinated notes during FY11 with its lower rate revolving credit facility and Asia term loans.
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, 2011 for further discussion.
We have tax loss carryforwards attributable to operations for which we have recognized deferred tax assets. Our policy is to provide a reserve against those deferred tax assets that in our estimate are not more likely than not to be realized.
The consolidated effective tax rate was 11.3% and 8.8% for the three-month periods ended July 1, 2011 and July 2, 2010 respectively, and varies from the Singapore statutory rate of 17.0 % 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. We generate most of our revenues and profits from operations outside of Singapore. We currently do not anticipate a significant impact to our effective rate as a result of changes to the mix in revenues and operating profits between taxing jurisdictions.
The effective tax rate of 11.3% for the three month period ended July 1, 2011 is higher than the 3.1% effective rate reported for the year ended March 31, 2011 and the 8.8% effective rate for the three-month period ended July 2, 2010 primarily as a result of tax benefits recorded in those periods for reversals of valuation allowances and reductions in liabilities for uncertain tax positions, which are recorded on a discreet basis in the quarter in which circumstances change and indicate an adjustment to income tax assets or liabilities is required.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of July 1, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $1.6 billion and bank and other borrowings of approximately $2.2 billion. We also have a $2.0 billion credit facility that expires in May 2012 under which we had $160.0 million in borrowings outstanding as of July 1, 2011, which is included in the $2.2 billion of borrowings above. As of July 1, 2011, we were in compliance with the covenants under each of our credit facilities.
Cash provided by operating activities was $136.4 million during the three-month period ended July 1, 2011. This resulted primarily from $132.0 million of net income for the period before adjustments to include approximately $116.0 million of non-cash expenses for depreciation and amortization. Primarily due to higher sales and anticipated growth, our operating assets and liabilities increased $111.6 million on a net basis primarily from increases in accounts receivable and other current assets of $477.7 million and inventory of $176.0 million, partially offset by increases in accounts payable of $396.6 million and other current liabilities of $153.7 million.
Accounts receivable sold under our Asset-Backed Securitization Programs totaling $1.3 billion were removed from our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of July 1, 2011. We received approximately $601.7 million in cash from the sales and our deferred purchase price receivable was approximately $681.3 million and was recorded in other current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of July 1, 2011. For further information see Note 8 in our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
For the quarterly periods indicated, certain key liquidity metrics were as follows:

Days in trade accounts receivable was calculated as average accounts receivable for the quarter excluding the reduction in accounts receivable resulting from non-cash accounts receivable sales, divided by annualized sales for the current quarter by day. During the three-month period ended July 1, 2011, days in trade accounts receivable increased by one day to 40 days compared to the three-month period ended July 2, 2010. Deferred purchase price receivables included in the calculation of days in trade receivables were $681.3 million, $460.0 million, $821.2 million, $254.1 million and $111.2 million for the quarters ended July 1, 2011, March 31, 2011, December 31, 2010, October 1, 2010 and July 2, 2010, respectively. Deferred purchase price receivables are recorded in other current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Days in inventory was calculated as the average inventory for the current and prior quarters divided by annualized cost of sales for the respective quarter by day. During the three-month period ended July 1, 2011, days in inventory increased by one day compared to the three-month period ended July 2, 2010. The increase in days in inventory is primarily attributable to growth in inventory to accommodate higher anticipated sales.
Days in accounts payable was calculated as the average accounts payable for the current and prior quarters divided by annualized cost of sales for the respective quarter by day. During the three-month period ended July 1, 2011, days in accounts payable decreased by one day to 68 days compared to the three-month period ended July 2, 2010 primarily due to the increase in cost of sales and material purchasing associated with our current quarter and anticipated higher sales volume.
Our average net working capital, defined as accounts receivable plus the deferred purchase price receivable from our asset-backed securitization programs plus inventory less accounts payable, as a percentage of annualized sales was approximately 6% for the quarter ended July 1, 2011, compared to 5% for the quarter ended July 2, 2010.
Our cash conversion cycle was calculated as the sum of inventory turns in days and days sales outstanding in accounts receivable less days payable outstanding in accounts payable. During the three-month period ended July 1, 2011, our cash conversion cycle increased by 3 days to 19 days compared to the three-month period ended July 2, 2010, as both day sales outstanding and inventory days increased and day payables outstanding decreased.
Cash used by investing activities amounted to $120.1 million during the three-month period ended July 1, 2011. This resulted primarily from $112.7 million in net capital expenditures for property and equipment, and $7.1 million for an acquisition completed during the three-month period ended July 1, 2011.
Our free cash flow, which we define as cash from operating activities less net purchases of property and equipment, was $23.7 million for the three-month period ended July 1, 2011 compared with negative free cash flow of $9.6 million for the quarter ended July 2, 2010. We believe free cash flow is an important liquidity metric because it measures, during a given period, the amount of cash generated that is available to repay debt obligations, make investments, fund acquisitions, repurchase company shares and for certain other activities.
Cash used in financing activities was $202.7 million during the three-month period ended July 1, 2011, which was primarily for the repurchase of 29.0 million of our ordinary shares.
Our cash balances are held in numerous locations throughout the world. As of July 1, 2011 and March 31, 2011, substantially all of our cash and cash equivalents were held by foreign subsidiaries outside of Singapore. Although substantially all of the amounts held outside of Singapore could be repatriated, under current laws, a significant amount could be subject to income taxes withholdings. We provide for tax liabilities on these amounts for financial statement purposes, except for certain of our foreign earnings that are considered indefinitely reinvested outside of Singapore (approximately $500 million as of March 31, 2011). Repatriation could result in an additional income tax payment, however, our intent is to permanently reinvest these funds outside of Singapore and our current plans do not demonstrate a need to repatriate them to fund our operations. Where local restrictions prevent an efficient intercompany transfer of funds, our intent is that cash balances would remain outside of Singapore and we would meet our liquidity needs through ongoing cash flows, external borrowings, or both.
Future liquidity needs will depend on fluctuations in levels of inventory, accounts receivable and accounts payable, the timing of capital expenditures for new equipment, the extent to which we utilize operating leases for new facilities and equipment, and the levels of shipments and changes in the volumes of customer orders.
Historically, we have funded operations from cash and cash equivalents generated from operations, proceeds from public offerings of equity and debt securities, bank debt and lease financings. We also 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.
We anticipate that we will enter into debt and equity financings, sales of accounts receivable and lease transactions to fund acquisitions and anticipated growth. The sale or issuance of equity or convertible debt securities could result in dilution to current shareholders. Further, 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 as a result of more restrictive borrowing terms. We continue to asses our capital structure and evaluate the merits of redeploying available cash to reduce existing debt or repurchase ordinary shares.
On July 18, 2011, the Companys Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $200.0 million of the Companys outstanding ordinary shares, subject to shareholder approval at the 2011 Extraordinary General Meeting of the Companys Share Purchase Mandate. The Share Purchase Mandate was approved by the Companys shareholders at the 2011 Extraordinary General Meeting on July 22, 2011.
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, Managements 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, 2011. There have been no material changes in our contractual obligations since March 31, 2011.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We sell a designated pool of trade receivables to unaffiliated financial institutions under our ABS programs, and in addition to cash, we receive a deferred purchase price receivable for the receivables sold. The deferred purchase price receivable we retain serves as additional credit support to the financial institution and is recorded at its estimated fair value. The fair value of our deferred purchase price receivable was approximately $681.3 million as of July 1, 2011. For further information see Note 8 in our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
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 three-month period ended July 1, 2011 as compared to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011.
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 July 1, 2011, 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 July 1, 2011, 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 Commissions 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 first quarter of fiscal year 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
On June 4, 2007, a shareholder class action lawsuit was filed in Santa Clara County Superior Court. The lawsuit arises out of the merger with Solectron Corp. in 2007 and other defendants include selected officers of the Company, Solectron and Solectrons former directors and officers. On behalf of the class, the plaintiff seeks compensatory, rescissory, and other forms of damages, as well as attorneys fees and costs. The plaintiff does not seek a jury trial. On August 12, 2010, the Court certified a class of all former Solectron shareholders that were entitled to vote and receive cash or shares of the Companys stock in exchange for their shares of Solectron stock following the merger. On April 21, 2011, the Court granted a request by the plaintiffs counsel to withdraw as class counsel, and ordered the plaintiff to retain new counsel by June 24, 2011. The plaintiff failed to do so, thus on June 28, 2011, the Court issued an order to show cause why the case should not be dismissed and the hearing is scheduled for August 12, 2011. The Company believes that the claims are without merit and any possible losses resulting from such claims would not be material to the financial statements as a whole.
In addition, from time to time, the Company is subject to other 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 expects that any possible losses resulting from these matters that are in excess of amounts already accrued in its consolidated balance sheet would not be material to the financial statements as a whole.
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, 2011, 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.

In order to be considered timely, such proposals must be received by us no later than March 26, 2012. Any such shareholder proposals must be mailed to our U.S. corporate offices located at 847 Gibraltar Drive, Milpitas, California, 95035, U.S.A., Attention: General Counsel. Any such shareholder proposals may be included in our proxy statement for the 2012 annual general meeting so long as they are provided to us on a timely basis and satisfy the other conditions set forth in applicable rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC. Shareholder proposals submitted outside the processes of SEC Rule 14a-8 are subject to the requirements of the Singapore Companies Act.

DEFINITIONS AND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
S&P 500 Index: |
|
The S&P 500 is a capitalization-weighted index operated by Standard and Poors and used as a Leading Indicator of United States economy. The Index trades with the ticker symbol of $SPX or ^GSPC. |
|
|
|
Total Shareholder Return: |
|
Total Shareholder Return (TSR) is used to represent the cumulative return of an investment and includes both the change in the stock price as well as Dividend Value from a specified start and ending period. The formula for the calculation is as follows: |
|
|
|
|
|
TSR = (Price End - Price Begin + Dividend Value) / Price Begin |
|
|
|
Payout Calculation: |
|
The Payout Calculation is determined by comparing the Flextronics Total Shareholder Return as a percentage of the S&P 500 Index. The formula is as follows: |
|
|
|
|
|
Payout % = ((FLEX TSR% - S&P TSR%) / abs(S&P TSR%)) + 100% |
|
|
|
Payout Interpolation: |
|
If the minimum payout is not reached, then the shares will be forfeited. If performance payouts are reached, shares will be rewarded on an interpolated basis between 50% and 150% of the target shares per the Payout Table above. Fractional percentage points will be rounded to nearest % point and fractional shares awarded will be rounded down the nearest whole share. |
|
|
|
20-Day Trading Average for Measuring Performance: |
|
To avoid the effects of short-term price fluctuations, a 20-Day Trading Average will be used for measuring the Performance Criteria, and will be calculated using a basic average of Flextronicss and the S&P 500s Closing Prices on the previous 20 trading days prior to June 15, 2011 and Measurement Ending Dates. |
|
|
|
|
|
20-Day Trading Average = (Sum of Prior 20 day Closing Prices) / 20 |
|
|
|
Measurement Period: |
|
The Measurement Period used to calculate the TSR will start on June 15, 2011 and end June 16, 2014 and June 15, 2015. |
|
|
|
Vesting / Release Date: |
|
If the Performance Criteria is met, shares will vest or be released on the next business day following the 3rd and 4th anniversaries of June 15th. Therefore, the respective Release Dates will be June 17, 2014 and June 16, 2015. Applicable tax withholding and reporting will be contingent on the Closing Price of Flextronics Stock on the Release Date. |
|
|
|
Closing Price Methodology: |
|
Only the Daily Closing Price will be used to determine Total Shareholder Return values as by reported by the Wall Street Journal or any other reputable financial services information provider. |
|
|
|
Dividend Value and Stock Splits: |
|
Dividends will be assumed reinvested at the Closing Price on the Payout Date and all calculations will be adjusted for Stock Splits. |

1. Grant of RSU Award.
1.1 Grant of RSU Award. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, including any country-specific terms set forth in Exhibit A to this Agreement, the Company hereby grants to the Participant an RSU Award for the number of ordinary shares set forth above under RSU Award (the Shares).
(a) Vesting Criteria. The RSU Award shall vest, and the Shares shall be issuable to the Participant, according to the Vesting Criteria set forth above. If application of the Vesting Criteria causes vesting of a fractional Share, such Share shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share. Shares that vest and are issuable pursuant to the Vesting Criteria are Vested Shares.
(c) Termination of Service. The RSU Award, all of the Companys obligations and the Participants rights under this Agreement, shall terminate on the earlier of the Participants Termination Date (as defined in the Plan) or the date when all the Shares that are subject to the RSU Award have been allotted and issued, or forfeited in the case of any portion of the RSU Award that fails to vest.
(d) Allotment and Issuance of Vested Shares. The Company shall allot and issue the Vested Shares as soon as practicable after such Shares have vested pursuant to the Vesting Criteria. The Company shall have no obligation to allot and issue, and the Participant will have no right or title to, any Shares, and no Shares will be allotted and issued to the Participant, until satisfaction of the Vesting Criteria.
(e) No Obligation to Employ. Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall confer on the Participant any right to continue in the employ of, or other relationship with, the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate to terminate the Participants employment or service relationship at any time, with or without cause.
(f) Nontransferability of RSU Award. None of the Participants rights under this Agreement or under the RSU Award may be transferred in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Participants in the U.S. may transfer or assign the RSU Award to Family Members (as defined in the Plan) through a gift or a domestic relations order (and not in a transfer for value), or as otherwise allowed by the Plan. The terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, successors and assigns of the Participant.
(g) Privileges of Share Ownership. The Participant shall not have any of the rights of a shareholder until the Vested Shares are allotted and issued after the applicable vest date.
(h) Interpretation. Any dispute regarding the interpretation of the terms and provisions with respect to the RSU Award and this Agreement shall be submitted by the Participant or the Company to the Committee for review. The resolution of such a dispute by the Committee shall be final and binding on the Company and on the Participant.
1.2 Title to Shares. Title will be provided in the Participants individual name on the Companys records unless the Participant otherwise notifies Stock Administration of an alternative designation in compliance with the terms of this Agreement and applicable laws.
2. Delivery.
2.1 Deliveries by Participant. The Participant hereby delivers to the Company this Agreement.
2.2 Deliveries by the Company. The Company will issue a duly executed share certificate or other documentation evidencing the Vested Shares in the name specified in Section 1.2 above upon vesting, provided the Participant has delivered and executed this Agreement prior to the applicable vesting date and has remained continuously employed by the Company or a Parent, Subsidiary, or Affiliate through each applicable vesting date.
3. Compliance with Laws and Regulations. The issuance and transfer of the Shares to the Participant shall be subject to and conditioned upon compliance by the Company and the Participant with all applicable requirements of any share exchange or automated quotation system on which the
Companys Ordinary Shares may be listed at the time of such issuance or transfer. The Participant understands that the Company is under no obligation to register or qualify the Shares with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, any state, local or foreign securities commission or any share exchange to effect such compliance.
4. Rights as Shareholder. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Participant will have all of the rights of a shareholder of the Company with respect to the Vested Shares which have been allotted and issued to the Participant until such time as the Participant disposes of such Vested Shares.
5. Stop-Transfer Orders.
5.1 Stop-Transfer Instructions. The Participant agrees that, to ensure compliance with the restrictions imposed by this Agreement, the Company may issue appropriate stop-transfer instructions to its transfer agent, if any, and if the Company administers transfers of its own securities, it may make appropriate notations to the same effect in its own records.
5.2 Refusal to Transfer. The Company will not be required (i) to register in its books any Shares that have been sold or otherwise transferred in violation of any of the provisions of this Agreement or (ii) to treat as owner of such Shares, or to accord the right to vote or pay dividends to any Participant or other transferee to whom such Shares have been so transferred.
6. Taxes and Disposition of Shares.
6.1 Tax Obligations.
(a) Regardless of any action the Company or the Participants employer (the Employer) takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items arising out of the Participants participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Participant (Tax-Related Items), the Participant acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Participants responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company and/or the Employer. The Participant further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (a) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the RSU Award, including but not limited to, the grant, vesting or issuance of Vested Shares underlying the RSU Award, the subsequent sale of Vested Shares acquired upon vesting and the receipt of any dividends; and (b) do not commit and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the RSU Award to reduce or eliminate the Participants liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Furthermore, if the Participant has become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the Date of Grant and the date of any relevant taxable event, the Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
(b) Prior to the relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Participant shall pay or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, the Participant authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following (1) withholding from the Participants wages or other cash compensation paid to the Participant by the Company, the Employer, or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company; or (2) withholding from the proceeds of the sale of Vested Shares either through a voluntary sale or through
a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the Participants behalf pursuant to this authorization); or (3) withholding in Shares to be issued at vesting of the RSU Award.
(c) To avoid any negative accounting treatment, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates. If the obligation for the Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, the Participant is deemed to have been issued the full number of Vested Shares, notwithstanding that a number of Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of the Participants participation in the Plan.
(d) The Participant shall pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the Participants participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described in this section. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Vested Shares or the proceeds from the sale of Shares, if the Participant fails to comply with his or her obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.
6.2 Disposition of Shares. Participant hereby agrees that the Participant shall make no disposition of the Shares (other than as permitted by this Agreement) unless and until the Participant shall have complied with all requirements of this Agreement applicable to the disposition of the Shares.
7. Nature of Grant. In accepting the RSU Award, the Participant acknowledges and agrees that:
(a) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, is discretionary in nature and may be amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time;
(b) the grant of the RSU Award is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future RSU Awards, or benefits in lieu of RSU Awards, even if RSU Awards have been granted repeatedly in the past;
(d) all decisions with respect to future RSU Awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;
(e) the Participants participation in the Plan is voluntary;
(f) the future value of the Shares underlying the RSU Award is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty;
(g) no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from the forfeiture of the RSU Award resulting from a Termination of Service (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws), and in consideration of the RSU Award to which the Participant is otherwise not entitled, the Participant irrevocably agrees never to institute any claim against the Company and/or the Employer, waives the Participants ability, if any, to bring any such claim, and releases the Company and/or the Employer from any such claim; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is allowed by a court of competent jurisdiction, then, by participating in the Plan, the Participant shall be deemed irrevocably to have agreed not to pursue such claim and agrees to execute any and all documents necessary to request dismissal or withdrawal of such claims; and
(h) for the Participants residing outside of the U.S.A.:
(A) the RSU Award and any Shares acquired under the Plan are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;
(B) the RSU Award is not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, end of service payments, dismissal, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments and in no event should be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to past services for the Employer, the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate; and
(C) in the event of the Participants Termination of Service (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), the Participants right to vest in the RSU Award under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the date of Termination of Service and; the Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Participant is no longer actively providing service for purposes of this RSU Award.
8. No Advice Regarding Grant. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding the Participants participation in the Plan, or the sale of the Shares acquired upon vesting of the RSU Award. The Participant is hereby advised to consult with his or her own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding his or her participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.
9. Data Privacy.
(a) The Participant hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of the Participants personal data as described in this Agreement and any other RSU Award materials by and among, as applicable, the Employer, the Company and its Parent, Subsidiaries and Affiliates for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Participants participation in the Plan.
(b) The Participant understands that the Company and the Employer may hold certain personal information about the Participant, including, but not limited to, the Participants name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any Shares or directorships held in the Company, details of all RSU Awards or any other entitlement to Shares awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Participants favor, for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan (Data).
(c) The Participant understands that Data will be transferred to the Company stock plan service provider as may be selected by the Company in the future, which is assisting the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. The Participant understands that the recipients of the Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipients country (e.g., the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections from the Participants country. The Participant understands that he or she may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting his or her local human resources representative. The Participant authorizes the Company, the Company stock plan service provider and any other possible recipients which may assist the Company (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the sole purpose of implementing, administering and managing his or her participation in the Plan. The Participant understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Participants participation in the Plan. The Participant understands that he or she may, at any time, view Data, request additional information
about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing his or her local human resources representative. The Participant understands, however, that refusing or withdrawing his or her consent may affect the Participants ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of the Participants refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, the Participant understands that he or she may contact his or her local human resources representative.
10. Successors and Assigns. The Company may assign any of its rights under this Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company. Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Agreement and in the Plan, this Agreement will be binding upon the Participant and the Participants heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns.
11. Governing Law; Venue; Severability. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of California as such laws are applied to agreements between California residents entered into and to be performed entirely within California, excluding that body of laws pertaining to conflict of laws. For purposes of litigating any dispute that arises directly or indirectly from the relationship of the parties evidenced by the RSU Award or this Agreement, the parties hereby submit to and consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State of California and agree that such litigation shall be conducted only in the courts of Santa Clara County, California, or the federal courts for the United States for the Northern District of California, and no other courts, where this Agreement is made and/or to be performed. If any provision of this Agreement is determined by a court of law to be illegal or unenforceable, then such provision will be enforced to the maximum extent possible and the other provisions will remain fully effective and enforceable.
12. Notices. Any notice required to be given or delivered to the Company shall be in writing and addressed to the Vice President of Finance of the Company at its corporate offices at 847 Gibraltar Drive, Milpitas, California 95035. Any notice required to be given or delivered to the Participant shall be in writing and addressed to the Participant at the address indicated on the signature page hereto or to such other address as the Participant may designate in writing from time to time to the Company. All notices shall be deemed effectively given upon personal delivery, three (3) days after deposit in the United States mail by certified or registered mail (return receipt requested), one (1) business day after its deposit with any return receipt express courier (prepaid), or one (1) business day after transmission by facsimile.
13. Headings. The captions and headings of this Agreement are included for ease of reference only and will be disregarded in interpreting or construing this Agreement. All references herein to Sections will refer to Sections of this Agreement.
14. Language. If the Participant has received this Agreement or any other document related to the Plan translated into a language other than English and if the meaning of the translated version is different from the English version, the English version will control.
15. Electronic Delivery. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future participation in the Plan by electronic means. The Participant hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company.
16. Exhibit A. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the RSU Award shall be subject to any special terms and provisions as set forth in Exhibit A to this Agreement for the
Participants country. Moreover, if the Participant relocates to one of the countries included in Exhibit A, the special terms and conditions for such country will apply to the Participant, to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or facilitate the administration of the Plan. Exhibit A constitutes part of this Agreement.
17. Code Section 409A. With respect to U.S. taxpayers, it is intended that the terms of the RSU Award will comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations relating thereto so as not to subject the Participant to the payment of additional taxes and interest under Section 409A of the Code, and this Agreement will be interpreted, operated and administered in a manner that is consistent with this intent. In furtherance of this intent, the Committee may adopt such amendments to this Agreement or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, in each case, without the consent of the Participant, that the Committee determines are reasonable, necessary or appropriate to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and related U.S. Department of Treasury guidance. In that light, the Company makes no representation or covenant to ensure that the RSU Awards that are intended to be exempt from, or compliant with, Section 409A of the Code are not so exempt or compliant or for any action taken by the Committee with respect thereto.
18. Imposition of Other Requirements. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Participants participation in the Plan, on the RSU Award and on any Shares acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or facilitate the administration of the Plan, and to require the Participant to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.
19. Entire Agreement. The Plan and this Agreement, together with all its Exhibits, constitute the entire agreement and understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, and supersede all prior understandings and agreements, whether oral or written, between the parties hereto with respect to the specific subject matter hereof.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have executed this Agreement as of the Effective Date.

EXHIBIT A TO THE
RESTRICTED SHARE UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT
FOR NON-U.S. PARTICIPANTS
Terms and Conditions
This Exhibit A includes additional terms and conditions that govern the RSU Award granted to the Participant under the Plan if the Participant resides in one of the countries listed below. Certain capitalized terms used but not defined in this Exhibit A have the meanings set forth in the Plan and/or the Agreement.
Notifications
This Exhibit A also includes information regarding exchange controls and certain other issues of which the Participant should be aware with respect to his or her participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of July 2010. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that the Participant not rely on the information in this Exhibit A as the only source of information relating to the consequences of the Participants participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time that the RSU Award vests and Shares are issued to the Participant or the Participant sells Shares acquired upon vesting of the RSU Award under the Plan.
In addition, the information contained herein is general in nature and may not apply to the Participants particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure the Participant of a particular result. Accordingly, the Participant is advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in the Participants country may apply to his or her situation.
Finally, if the Participant is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which he or she is currently working or transfers employment after the Date of Grant, the information contained herein may not be applicable to the Participant.
AUSTRIA
Notifications
Exchange Control Information. If the Participant holds Shares acquired under the Plan outside of Austria, the Participant must submit a report to the Austrian National Bank. An exemption applies if the value of the shares as of any given quarter does not exceed 30,000,000 or as of December 31 does not exceed 5,000,000. If the former threshold is exceeded, quarterly obligations are imposed, whereas if the latter threshold is exceeded, annual reports must be given. The annual reporting date is December 31 and the deadline for filing the annual report is March 31 of the following year.
When the Participant sells Vested Shares issued under the Plan, there may be exchange control obligations if the cash received is held outside Austria. If the transaction volume of all the Participants accounts abroad exceeds 3,000,000, the movements and balances of all accounts must be reported monthly, as of the last day of the month, on or before the fifteenth day of the following month.
Consumer Protection Information. To the extent that the provisions of the Austrian Consumer Protection Act are applicable to the Agreement and the Plan, the Participant may be entitled to revoke his or her acceptance of the Agreement if the conditions listed below are met:
(i) If the Participant accepts the RSU Award outside of the business premises of the Company, the Participant may be entitled to revoke his or her acceptance of the Agreement, provided the revocation is made within one week after the Participant accepts the Agreement.
(ii) The revocation must be in written form to be valid. It is sufficient if the Participant returns the Agreement to the Company or the Companys representative with language that can be understood as the Participants refusal to conclude or honor the Agreement, provided the revocation is sent within the period set forth above.
BRAZIL
Notifications
Compliance with Law. By accepting the RSU Award, the Participant acknowledges his or her agreement to comply with applicable Brazilian laws and to pay any and all applicable taxes associated with the RSU Award, the receipt of any dividends, and the sale of Vested Shares issued under the Plan.
Exchange Control Information. If the Participant is a resident or domiciled in Brazil, he or she will be required to submit an annual declaration of assets and rights held outside of Brazil to the Central Bank of Brazil if the aggregate value of such assets and rights is equal to or greater than US$100,000 (approximately BRL175,950 as of July 2010). Foreign individuals holding Brazilian visas are considered Brazilian residents for purposes of this reporting requirement and must declare at least the assets held abroad that were acquired subsequent to the Participants date of admittance as a resident of Brazil. Assets and rights that must be reported include Shares issued upon vesting of the RSU Award under the Plan.

Description of Annual Incentive Bonus Plan for Fiscal 2012
On May 16, 2011, the Board approved the Companys annual incentive bonus plan for fiscal 2012. The plan provides its executive officers with the opportunity to earn cash bonuses based upon the achievement of pre-established performance goals. Total bonus opportunities will be based on achievement of annual targets. The plan provides for quarterly payouts based on achievement of quarterly targets, with 50% of the quarterly payouts (if any) held back and subject to the fiscal year end reconciliation of annual payout achievement. Performance goals under the plan will be: revenue growth, earnings per share, operating profit (as a percentage of sales), and return on invested capital targets at the Company level; and revenue growth, operating profit (as a percentage of sales), profit after interest (as a percentage of sales), inventory turnover and other business-specific business unit targets at the business unit level for certain executives. The plan allows awards to provide for different metrics, target levels and weightings for different executives.
Under the annual incentive bonus plan, target award opportunities are set at various percentages of base salary, which will be: 150% of base salary in the case of the Chief Executive Officer; 125% of base salary in the case of the Chief Financial Officer; and between 70% and 90% of base salary in the cases of other officers. Actual payout opportunities for each bonus component will range from a threshold of 50% of target to a maximum of 300% of target (200% in the cases of the CEO and CFO) based on achievement of the performance measures. If the Company or business unit fails to achieve the threshold level for any performance measure, no payout is awarded for that measure. For purposes of determining achievement of award opportunities, the incentive bonus plan uses adjusted, non-GAAP measures.

Summary of Directors Compensation
Under Singapore law, the Company may only provide cash compensation to its non-employee directors for services rendered in their capacity as directors with the prior approval from its shareholders at a general meeting. At the 2011 Annual General Meeting, the Companys shareholders approved certain changes in the cash compensation arrangements for the non-employee directors of the Company, including the non-executive Chairman. As a result, the current cash compensation arrangements are as follows: (i) annual cash compensation of $85,000, payable quarterly in arrears, for services rendered as a director; (ii) additional annual cash compensation of $50,000, payable quarterly in arrears to the Chairman of the Audit Committee (if appointed) of the Board of Directors for services rendered as Chairman of the Audit Committee and for his or her participation on the Audit Committee; (iii) additional annual cash compensation of $15,000, payable quarterly in arrears to each other non-employee director who serves on the Audit Committee for his or her participation on the Audit Committee; (iv) additional annual cash compensation of $25,000, payable quarterly in arrears to the Chairman of the Compensation Committee (if appointed) of the Board of Directors for services rendered as Chairman of the Compensation Committee and for his or her participation on the Compensation Committee; (v) additional annual cash compensation of $10,000, payable quarterly in arrears to each other non-employee director who serves on the Compensation Committee for his or her participation on the Compensation Committee; (vi) additional annual cash compensation of $15,000, payable quarterly in arrears to the Chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (if appointed) of the Board of Directors for services rendered as Chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and for his or her participation on the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee; and (vii) additional annual cash compensation of $8,000, payable quarterly in arrears to each other non-employee director who serves on the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee for his or her participation on the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

Financial Instruments | 7. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Foreign Currency Contracts
The Company enters into forward contracts and foreign currency swap contracts to manage the foreign currency risk associated with monetary accounts and anticipated foreign currency denominated transactions. The Company hedges committed exposures and does not engage in speculative transactions. As of July 1, 2011, the aggregate notional amount of the Company's outstanding foreign currency forward and swap contracts was $2.7 billion as summarized below:
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 hedges under the accounting standards. Accordingly, changes in the 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. Gains or losses from fair value adjustments for these instruments are designed to offset losses and gains from the Company's revaluation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a non-functional currency. As of July 1, 2011 and March 31, 2011, 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 Sheets, 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 losses as of July 1, 2011 are expected to be recognized as a component of cost of sales 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 Statements of Operations.
The following table presents the Company's assets and liabilities related to foreign currency contracts measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of July 1, 2011, aggregated by level in the fair-value hierarchy within which those measurements fall:
There were no transfers between levels in the fair value hierarchy during the three-month period ended July 1, 2011. The Company's foreign currency forward contracts are measured on a recurring basis at fair value based on foreign currency spot and forward rates quoted by banks or foreign currency dealers.
The following table presents the fair value of the Company's derivative instruments located on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet utilized for foreign currency risk management purposes at July 1, 2011:

3. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
During the three-month period ended July 1, 2011, the Company granted equity compensation awards under the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2010 Plan"). For further discussion of the 2010 Plan, 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, 2011.
The following table summarizes the Company's stock-based compensation expense:
For the three-month period ended July 1, 2011, the Company granted 399,800 stock options, at a weighted average fair value per option of $2.67. Total unrecognized compensation expense related to stock options is $24.3 million, net of estimated forfeitures, and will be recognized over a weighted average vesting period of 1.4 years.
As of July 1, 2011, the number of options outstanding and exercisable was 52.9 million and 40.2 million, respectively, at weighted average exercise prices of $7.69 and $8.41, respectively.
The following table summarizes restricted share unit award activity for the Company's equity compensation plans during the three-month period ended July 1, 2011:
Of the 7.7 million restricted share unit awards granted during the three-month period ended July 1, 2011, approximately 1.5 million represents the target amount of grants made to certain key employees whereby vesting is contingent on meeting a certain market condition. The number of shares that ultimately will vest are based on a measurement of Flextronics's total shareholder return against the Standard and Poor's ("S&P") 500 Composite Index and will vest over a period of four years. The actual number of shares issued can range from zero to 2.2 million. The grant-date fair value of these awards was estimated to be $7.78 per share and was calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation.
During the three-month period ended July 1, 2011, approximately 158,000 restricted share unit awards were granted to certain key employees whereby vesting is contingent upon meeting both a service requirement and achievement of longer-term Company performance goals.
As of July 1, 2011, total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested restricted share unit awards is $81.0 million, net of estimated forfeitures, and will be recognized over a weighted average vesting period of 3.3 years. Approximately $12.9 million of the unrecognized compensation cost is related to awards whereby vesting is contingent on meeting a certain market condition. |

On June 4, 2007, a shareholder class action lawsuit was filed in Santa Clara County Superior Court. The lawsuit arises out of the merger with Solectron Corp. in 2007 and other defendants include selected officers of the Company, Solectron and Solectron's former directors and officers. On behalf of the class, the plaintiff seeks compensatory, rescissory, and other forms of damages, as well as attorneys' fees and costs. The plaintiff does not seek a jury trial. On August 12, 2010, the Court certified a class of all former Solectron shareholders that were entitled to vote and receive cash or shares of the Company's stock in exchange for their shares of Solectron stock following the merger. On April 21, 2011, the Court granted a request by the plaintiff's counsel to withdraw as class counsel, and ordered the plaintiff to retain new counsel by June 24, 2011. The plaintiff failed to do so, thus on June 28, 2011, the Court issued an order to show cause why the case should not be dismissed and the hearing is scheduled for August 12, 2011. The Company believes that the claims are without merit and any possible losses resulting from such claims would not be material to the financial statements as a whole.
In addition, from time to time, the Company is subject to other 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 expects that any possible losses resulting from these matters that are in excess of amounts already accrued in its consolidated balance sheet would not be material to the financial statements as a whole. |

Trade Receivables Securitization | 8. TRADE RECEIVABLES SECURITIZATION
The Company sells trade receivables under two asset-backed securitization programs and under an accounts receivable factoring program.
Asset-Backed Securitization Programs
The Company continuously sells designated pool of trade receivables under its Global Asset-Backed Securitization Agreement (the "Global Program") and its North American Asset-Backed Securitization Agreement (the "North American Program," collectively, the "ABS Programs") to affiliated special purpose entities, which in turn sells 100% of the receivables to unaffiliated financial institutions. These programs allow the operating subsidiaries to receive a cash payment and a deferred purchase price receivable for sold receivables. The investment limits by the financial institutions are $500.0 million for the Global Program and $300.0 million for the North American Program and require a minimum level of deferred purchase price receivable to be retained by the Company in connection with the sales.
Servicing fees recognized during the three-month periods ended July 1, 2011 and July 2, 2010 were not material and are included in Interest and other expense, net within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. As the Company estimates the fee it receives in return for its obligation to service these receivables is at fair value, no servicing assets and liabilities are recognized.
As of July 1, 2011, approximately $1.3 billion of accounts receivable had been sold to the special purpose entities under the ABS Programs for which the Company had received net cash proceeds of $601.7 million and deferred purchase price receivables of approximately $681.3 million. The deferred purchase price receivables are included in other current assets as of July 1, 2011 and are valued using unobservable inputs (i.e., level three inputs), primarily discounted cash flow, and due to its high credit quality and short maturity their fair value approximated book value. There were no write-offs, fair value adjustments or other transfers between levels in the fair value hierarchy for the deferred purchase price receivables during the three-month period ended July 1, 2011. As of March 31, 2011, approximately $1.0 billion of accounts receivable had been sold to the special purpose entities for which the Company had received net cash proceeds of $545.0 million and deferred purchase price receivables of approximately $460.0 million. Retained interests consisted primarily of the Company's investment participation in the sold receivables and were carried at the expected recovery amount of the related receivables; such amounts were included in other current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
As of July 1, 2011 and March 31, 2011, the accounts receivable balances that were sold under the ABS Programs were removed from the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and the net cash proceeds received by the Company were included as cash provided by operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. As discussed more fully in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, upon adoption of two new accounting standards on April 1, 2010, the balance of receivables sold for cash under the Global Program as of March 31, 2010, totaling $217.1 million, was recorded as accounts receivables and short-term bank borrowings in the opening balance sheet of fiscal 2011. Upon collection of these receivables the Company recorded cash from operations offset by repayments of bank borrowings from financing activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows during the three-month period ended July 2, 2010. The difference between the carrying amount of the receivables sold under these programs and the sum of the cash and fair value of the deferred purchase price receivables received at time of transfer is recognized as a loss on sale of the related receivables and recorded in Interest and other expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations; such amounts were $3.3 million and $2.1 million for the three-month periods ended July 1, 2011, and July 2, 2010, respectively.
For the three-month period ended July 1, 2011, cash flows from sales of receivables in which the Company maintained a continuing involvement as a result of the deferred purchase price consisted of approximately $1.2 billion for transfers of receivables (of which approximately $0.1 billion represented new transfers and the remainder proceeds from collections reinvested in revolving-period transfers) and approximately $0.9 billion for collections on the deferred purchase price assets received upon the initial transfers. For the three-month period ended July 2, 2010, cash flows from sales of receivables in which the Company maintained a continuing involvement as a result of the deferred purchase price consisted of approximately $0.4 billion for transfers of receivables (of which approximately $0.2 billion represented new transfers and the remainder proceeds from collections reinvested in revolving-period transfers) and approximately $0.5 billion for collections on the deferred purchase price assets received upon the initial transfers.
Trade Accounts Receivable Sale Programs
The Company also sold accounts receivables to certain third-party banking institutions. The outstanding balance of receivables sold and not yet collected was approximately $54.1 million and $109.7 million as of July 1, 2011 and March 31, 2011, respectively. For the three-month periods ended July 1, 2011 and July 2, 2010, total accounts receivable sold to certain third party banking institutions was approximately $489.2 million and $472.6 million, respectively. The receivables that were sold were removed from the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and were reflected as cash provided by operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. |
