PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION

ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

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

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Flextronics International Ltd. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2012, the related condensed consolidated statements of operations and of comprehensive income for the three-month and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine-month periods ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

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

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

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Flextronics International Ltd. and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated May 25, 2012, 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, 2012 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1.  ORGANIZATION OF THE COMPANY

Flextronics International Ltd. (“Flextronics” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the Republic of Singapore in May 1990. The Company’s operations have expanded over the years through a combination of organic growth and acquisitions. The Company is a leading global provider of vertically-integrated advanced design, manufacturing and services to original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) of a broad range of electronic products in the following markets: High Reliability Solutions (“HRS”), which is comprised of our medical, automotive, and defense and aerospace businesses; High Velocity Solutions (“HVS”), which includes our mobile devices business, including smart phones, consumer electronics, including game consoles, high-volume computing business, including notebook personal computing (“PC”), tablets, printers, and our original design manufacturing (“ODM”) PC business which we exited in fiscal 2012; Industrial and Emerging Industries (“IEI”), which is comprised of large household appliances, equipment, and our emerging industries businesses; and Integrated Network Solutions (“INS”), which includes our telecommunications infrastructure, data networking, connected home, and server and storage businesses. The Company’s strategy is to provide customers with a full range of cost competitive, vertically-integrated global supply chain services through which the Company can design, build, ship and service a complete packaged product for its OEM customers. OEM customers leverage the Company’s services to meet their product requirements throughout the entire product life cycle.

The Company’s service offerings include rigid 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), supply chain management software solutions and component product offerings. Additionally, the Company provides a comprehensive range of value-added design and engineering services that are tailored to the various markets and needs of its customers.

2.  SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP” or “GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the requirements of Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2013.

The first quarter for fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012 ended on June 29, 2012 and July 1, 2011, respectively. The second quarter for fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012 ended on September 28, 2012 and September 30, 2011, respectively.  The Company’s third fiscal quarter ends on December 31, and the fourth fiscal quarter and year ends on March 31 of each year.

The Company initiated certain restructuring activities in the third quarter of fiscal 2013 to rationalize the Company’s manufacturing capacity and infrastructure.  The restructuring activities are intended to improve operational efficiencies by reducing excess workforce and capacity.  In addition to these cost reductions, these activities will result in a further shift of manufacturing capacity to locations with higher efficiencies.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company finalized the sale of certain assets of its Vista Point Technologies camera modules business, including intellectual property and the China-based manufacturing operations to Tessera Technologies, Inc. (“Tessera Technologies”), and DigitalOptics Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tessera Technologies.  In addition, during the third quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company finalized the sale of another non-core business.

8

In accordance with the accounting guidance, these non-core businesses represent separate asset groups and the divestitures qualify as discontinued operations, and accordingly, the Company has reported the results of operations and financial position of these businesses in discontinued operations within the condensed consolidated statements of operations and the condensed consolidated balance sheets for all periods presented as applicable.

For the nine-month period ended December 31, 2011, approximately $975.7 million of proceeds from bank borrowings and repayment of bank borrowings, related to certain short-term facilities, were previously reflected on a gross basis in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. These amounts should have been reflected on a net basis in “repayment of bank borrowings, long-term debt and capital lease obligations” and have been corrected in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. The correction had no net impact on total cash used in financing activities.  This error had no impact on current year cash flows.

During the nine-month period ended December 31, 2012, the Company recognized a charge for impairment of customer-related intangible assets with a net carrying amount of $10.0 million, which is included in the results from discontinued operations, in connection with the non-core business that was divested based on the carrying value of net assets and the expected sale proceeds.  During the three-month period ended December 31, 2012, the value of customer-related intangible assets increased by $24.7 million in connection with an acquisition described in detail at note 11 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. The purchase price allocation is preliminary and is subject to change as the Company continues to evaluate the value of assets and liabilities relating to this acquisition.  During the nine-month period ended December 31, 2012, the value of intangible assets increased by $88.0 million related to a license agreement for exclusive manufacturing rights and certain manufacturing technologies and processes in connection with an acquisition as more fully described in note 11 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.  Total intangible amortization expense was $13.0 million and $28.9 million during the three-month and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2012, respectively, of which $6.9 million and $7.7 million was recorded in cost of sales during the three-month and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2012, respectively, in connection with the aforementioned acquisition.  Total intangible amortization expense was $12.9 million and $36.5 million during the three-month and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2011, respectively.

3.  SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

The following table summarizes the Company’s share-based compensation expense:

	Three-Month Periods Ended				Nine-Month Periods Ended
	December 31, 2012		December 31, 2011		December 31, 2012		December 31, 2011
	(In thousands)
Cost of sales	$	1,530	$	2,021	$	4,045	$	6,328
Selling, general and administrative expenses	6,986		9,961		22,663		32,179
Total stock-based compensation expense	$	8,516	$	11,982	$	26,708	$	38,507

Total unrecognized compensation expense related to share options is $2.4 million, net of estimated forfeitures, and will be recognized over a weighted-average remaining vesting period of 2.0 years. As of December 31, 2012, the number of options outstanding and exercisable was 36.5 million and 35.5 million, respectively, at weighted-average exercise prices of $8.06 and $8.09 per share, respectively.

During the nine-month period ended December 31, 2012, the Company granted 9.3 million unvested share bonus awards at an average grant date price of $6.74 per share, under its 2010 Equity Incentive Plan.  Of this amount, approximately 2.2 million represents the target amount of grants made to certain key employees whereby vesting is contingent on 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 cliff vest after a period of three years, if such market conditions have been met. The number of shares issued can range from zero to 4.4 million.  The average grant-date fair value of these awards was estimated to be $7.64 per share and was calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation.  As of December 31, 2012, approximately 22.1 million of unvested share bonus awards were outstanding, of which vesting for 4.2 million is contingent on meeting the certain market condition above. The number of shares issued can range from zero to 7.4 million based on the achievement levels of the targeted market condition.

As of December 31, 2012, total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested share bonus awards is $82.7 million, net of estimated forfeitures, and will be recognized over a weighted-average remaining vesting period of 2.7 years. Approximately $10.0 million of the total unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, is related to awards whereby vesting is contingent on meeting a certain market condition, as discussed above.

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 (income), net in the condensed consolidated statements 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 December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012, the Company also has included net deferred gains and losses, respectively, in accumulated other comprehensive loss, 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 gains as of December 31, 2012 are expected to be recognized primarily as a component of cost of sales in the condensed consolidated statements of operations primarily 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 (income), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

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 Company maintains a continuing involvement in the receivables sold as a result of the deferred purchase price. 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 and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 were not material and are included in interest and other expense (income), 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 December 31, 2012, approximately $1.0 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 $576.3 million and deferred purchase price receivables of approximately $462.0 million.  As of March 31, 2012, approximately $1.1 billion of accounts receivable had been sold to the special purpose entities for which the Company had received net cash proceeds of $556.8 million and deferred purchase price receivables of approximately $514.9 million.  The deferred purchase price receivables are included in other current assets as of December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012, and were carried at the expected recovery amount of the related receivables.  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 (income), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations; such amounts were $2.2 million and $5.7 million for the three-month and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2012, respectively, and $2.5 million and $8.8 million for the three-month and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2011, respectively.

As of December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012, 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.

For the nine-month periods ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, cash flows from sales of receivables under the ABS Programs consisted of approximately $2.8 billion and $3.6 billion for transfers of receivables, respectively (of which approximately

15

$0.5 billion and $0.4 billion, respectively represented new transfers and the remainder proceeds from collections reinvested in revolving-period transfers).

The following table summarizes the activity in the deferred purchase price receivables account:

	Three-Month Periods Ended						Nine-Month Periods Ended
	December 31, 2012			December 31, 2011			December 31, 2012			December 31, 2011

Ending balance	$	462,014		$	750,315		$	462,014		$	750,315

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 $182.0 million and $110.5 million as of December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012, respectively. For the nine-month periods ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, total accounts receivable sold to certain third party banking institutions was approximately $820.7 million and $1.6 billion, respectively. The loss on sales of accounts receivables sold was not material for the three-month and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.  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 statements of cash flows.

9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact, and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. The accounting guidance for fair value establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

Level 1 - Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

The Company has deferred compensation plans for its officers and certain other employees.  Deferred amounts under the plans are invested in hypothetical investments selected by the participant or the participant’s investment manager.  The Company’s deferred compensation plan assets are included in other noncurrent assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and primarily include investments in equity securities that are valued using active market prices.

The Company values available for sale investments using level 1 inputs which are active market trading prices.

Level 2 - Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets) such as cash and cash equivalents and money market funds; or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

The Company values foreign exchange forward contracts using level 2 observable inputs which primarily consist of an income approach based on the present value of the forward rate less the contract rate multiplied by the notional amount.

The Company’s cash equivalents are comprised of bank deposits and money market funds, which are valued using level 2 inputs, such as interest rates and maturity periods. Due to their short-term nature, their carrying amount approximates fair value.

The Company’s deferred compensation plan assets also include money market funds, mutual funds, corporate and government bonds and certain convertible securities that are valued using prices obtained from various pricing sources.  These sources price these investments using certain market indices and the performance of these investments in relation to these indices.  As a result, the Company has classified these investments as level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

16

Level 3 - Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The Company values deferred purchase price receivables relating to its asset-backed securitization program based on a discounted cash flow analysis using unobservable inputs (i.e., level 3 inputs), which are primarily risk free interest rates adjusted for the credit quality of the underlying creditor and due to its high credit quality and short term maturity their fair value approximates carrying value.  Significant increases in either of the significant unobservable inputs (credit spread, risk free interest rate) in isolation would result in lower fair value estimates, but is insignificant. The interrelationship between these inputs is also insignificant.  Refer to note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for a reconciliation of the change in the deferred purchase price receivable during the nine-month periods ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

The Company has warrants to purchase up to 1.35 million shares of the common stock of a certain supplier at a weighted-average price of $7.33 per share.  The warrants expire on May 18, 2018.  These fully vested warrants, which are derivative instruments, are to be fair valued at each reporting date with gains or losses from changes in fair value recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.  The Company values these warrants based on the Black-Scholes option-valuation model using unobservable inputs classified as level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.  Significant changes in any of the significant unobservable inputs in isolation would result in a change in the fair value estimate, but in each case, the amount would be insignificant.  As of December 31, 2012, the Company used the following assumptions to fair value these warrants:

	As of December 31, 2012
Remaining life	5.4
Volatility	53	%
Dividend yield	0	%
Risk-free rate	0.81	%

The following table summarizes the changes in the fair value adjustment of these warrants:

	Amount
	(In thousands)
Balance, March 31, 2012	$	—
Fair value adjustment	23,000
Balance, September 28, 2012	23,000
Fair value adjustment	41,761
Balance, December 31, 2012	$	64,761

There were no transfers between levels in the fair value hierarchy during the three-month and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

Assets held for sale

As of December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012, no impairment charges were recorded for assets that were no longer in use and held for sale which exclude those assets that have been identified as relating to discontinued operations as discussed further in note 14 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.  The assets held for sale primarily represent manufacturing facilities that have been closed as part of the Company’s historical facility consolidations.

18

Property and equipment

During the three-month period December 31, 2012, the Company recognized impairment charges relating to certain held and used long-lived assets as a result of its restructuring activities as further discussed in note 10 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

There were no material fair value adjustments or other transfers between levels in the fair value hierarchy for these long-lived assets during the three-month and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

Other financial instruments

Total	$	2,063,340	$	2,078,807	$	2,184,095	$	2,168,978

Revolving credit facility - The carrying amount, if any, approximates fair value due to the short term nature of the interest rates underlying any borrowings under this facility, though the facility itself is available to the Company on a long term basis.

Term loans dated October 1, 2007 and October 19, 2011 - The term loans are valued based on broker trading prices in active markets.

Asia term loans - The Company’s Asia Term Loans are not traded publicly; however, as the pricing, maturity and other pertinent terms of these loans closely approximate those of the Term Loan Agreements dated October 1, 2007, and October 19, 2011, management estimates the respective trading prices would be approximately the same.

10. RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

In response to a challenging macroeconomic environment, the Company initiated certain restructuring activities intended to improve its operational efficiencies by reducing excess workforce and capacity.  The restructuring activities are targeted at rationalizing the Company’s global manufacturing capacity and infrastructure and will result in a further shift of manufacturing capacity to locations with higher efficiencies.  Restructuring charges are recorded based upon employee termination dates, site closure and consolidation plans.

During the three-month period ended December 31, 2012, the Company recognized restructuring charges of approximately $102.7 million.  The costs associated with these restructuring activities include employee severance, other personnel costs, non-cash impairment charges on facilities and equipment that are not recoverable through future cash flows or are no longer in use and are to be disposed of, and other exit related costs due to facility closures. The Company classified approximately $98.3 million of these charges as a component of cost of sales and approximately $4.4 million of these charges as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses during the three-month and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2012.

The components of the restructuring charges by geographic region during the three-month period ended December 31, 2012 were as follows:

	Americas		Asia		Europe		Total
	(In thousands)
Severance	$	863	$	8,572	$	6,142	$	15,577

11. BUSINESS AND ASSET ACQUISITIONS

On December 3, 2012, the Company completed its acquisition of all outstanding common stock of Saturn Electronics and Engineering, Inc. (“Saturn”), a supplier of electronics manufacturing services, solenoids and wiring for the automotive, appliance, consumer, energy and industrial markets.  The acquisition of Saturn broadened the Company’s service offering and strengthened its capabilities in the automotive and consumer electronics businesses.  The results of operations were included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial results beginning on the date of acquisition and did not have a material impact on revenue or net income during the three-month and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2012.

The initial cash consideration for this acquisition amounted to $193.7 million with an additional $15.0 million estimated in relation to potential contingent consideration, for a total purchase consideration of $208.7 million. The total amount of cash acquired from this acquisition amounted to $2.2 million, resulting in net cash of $191.5 million paid during the three-month period ended December 31, 2012.  The Company primarily acquired accounts receivable, inventory, manufacturing assets and customer relationships, and recorded goodwill of $106.2 million in connection with this acquisition.

Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation

The allocation of the purchase price to Saturn’s tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed was based on their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition. The valuation of these tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities is preliminary, subject to completion of a formal valuation process and further management review, and will be adjusted as additional information becomes available during the allocation period. Such adjustments may have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations. The excess of the purchase price over the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed has been allocated to goodwill.

The following represents the Company’s preliminary allocation of the total purchase price to the acquired assets and liabilities assumed of Saturn (in thousands):

20

Current assets:
Cash and cash equivalents	$	2,191
Accounts receivable	44,879
Inventories	22,454
Other current assets	770
Total current assets	70,294
Property and equipment	42,621
Goodwill	106,257
Other intangible assets	24,700
Other assets	991
Total assets	$	244,863
Current liabilities:
Accounts payable	$	29,539
Other current liabilities	6,269
Total current liabilities	35,808
Other liabilities	364
Total aggregate purchase price	$	208,691

During the nine-month period ended December 31, 2012, the Company completed three other acquisitions that were not individually, nor in the aggregate, significant to the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The total consideration, which was paid in cash for these acquisitions and earn outs related to certain prior period acquisitions amounted to $72.5 million. The total amount of cash acquired from these acquisitions amounted to $80.1 million, resulting in net cash of $7.6 million acquired for these acquisitions during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2012. One of the acquired businesses expanded the Company’s capabilities primarily in the medical and defense markets; another acquired business will support the hardware product manufacturing needs of an existing customer in the technology industry; and the other acquired business will expand the Company’s capabilities primarily in the LED design and manufacturing market. The Company primarily acquired cash, inventory and certain other manufacturing assets, and recorded goodwill of $66.2 million in connection with these acquisitions. The potential amount of future payments which the Company could be required to make under contingent consideration arrangements relating to these acquisitions is not material.

In connection with one of the acquisitions during the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company acquired certain manufacturing assets that were purchased by the acquired company on behalf of an existing customer and will be continued to be used exclusively for the benefit of this customer. These assets are financed by a third party banking institution acting as an agent of the customer under an agreement, the terms of which reset annually.  The Company can settle the obligation related to these assets by returning the respective assets to the customer and will not be required to pay cash by either the customer or the third party banking institution to settle the obligation.  Accordingly, these assets amounting to $258.5 million and the liability amounting to $256.5 million have been included in other current assets and other current liabilities, respectively as of December 31, 2012.  The cash flows relating to the purchase of assets by the Company on behalf of the customer amounting to $101.5 million has been included in other investing cash flows for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2012.  Net cash inflows amounting to $85.6 million relating to the funding of these assets by the financial institution on behalf of the customer has been included in cash flows from other financing activities during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2012.  In conjunction with this acquisition, the Company acquired a license agreement for exclusive manufacturing rights and access to certain manufacturing technologies and processes.  In consideration for this license, the Company is obligated to pay the customer $88.0 million representing the estimated fair value of the license.  The obligation will be reduced over the term of the service arrangement as product is manufactured on behalf of the customer, and if a certain minimum number of products are manufactured over the term of the customer arrangement the $88.0 million obligation will be fully satisfied.

The Company continues to evaluate certain assets and liabilities related to business combinations completed during the recent periods. Additional information, which existed as of the acquisition date, may become known to the Company during the remainder of the measurement period, a period not to exceed 12 months from the acquisition date. Changes to amounts recorded as assets or liabilities may result in a corresponding adjustment to goodwill.

The goodwill generated from the Company’s business combinations completed during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2012 is primarily related to value placed on the employee workforce, service offerings and capabilities, and expected synergies. The goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes.

21

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the operating results of each business combination from the date of acquisition and the related transaction costs incurred which are not material. Pro forma results of operations for the acquisitions completed during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2012 have not been presented because the effects of the acquisitions, individually and in the aggregate, were not material to the Company’s financial results.

12.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

From time to time, the Company is subject to legal proceedings, claims, and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company defends itself vigorously against any such claims. Although the outcome of these matters is currently not determinable, management expects that any losses that are probable or reasonably possible of being incurred as a result of these matters, which are in excess of amounts already accrued in its condensed consolidated balance sheets would not be material to the financial statements as a whole.

13.  SHARE REPURCHASES

The Company’s Board of Directors, on September 13, 2012, authorized the repurchase of up to 10% of the Company’s outstanding ordinary shares which was approved by the Company’s shareholders at the 2012 Extraordinary General Meeting held on August 30, 2012. Share repurchases by the Company under the share repurchase plans are subject to an aggregate limit of 10% of the Company’s ordinary shares outstanding as of the date of the 2012 Extraordinary General Meeting.  During the third quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company repurchased approximately 12.6 million shares for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $74.2 million, and retired all of these shares.  As of December 31, 2012, approximately 54.1 million shares were available to be repurchased under this plan.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company repurchased the entire remaining amount under a prior share repurchase plan that was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on December 7, 2011 and the Company’s shareholders at the 2011 Extraordinary General Meeting held on July 22, 2011, or approximately 20.4 million shares for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $134.0 million, and retired all of these shares.

14.  DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

During the third quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company finalized the sale of a non-core business.  Proceeds received from the sale were $3.2 million, net of $1.0 million of cash sold.  The Company recognized a loss of $7.4 million, which is included in the results from discontinued operations during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2012. 

During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company finalized the sale of certain assets of its Vista Point Technologies camera modules business, including intellectual property and the China-based manufacturing operations to Tessera Technologies and DigitalOptics Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tessera Technologies.  Total proceeds received from the sale were $19.4 million and the Company recognized a loss on sale of $4.7 million, which is included in the results from discontinued operations during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2012. 

In accordance with the accounting guidance, these non-core businesses qualify as discontinued operations, and accordingly, the Company has reported the results of operations and financial position of these businesses in discontinued operations within the condensed consolidated statements of operations and the condensed consolidated balance sheets for all periods presented as applicable. 

The results from discontinued operations were as follows:

OVERVIEW

We are a leading global provider of vertically-integrated advanced design, manufacturing and services to OEMs of a broad range of electronics products in the following markets: HRS, which is comprised of our medical, automotive, and defense and aerospace businesses; HVS, which includes our mobile devices business, including smart phones, consumer electronics, including game consoles, high-volume computing business, including notebook PC, tablets, printers, and our ODM PC business which we exited in fiscal 2012; IEI, which is comprised of large household appliances, equipment, and our emerging industries businesses; and INS, which includes our telecommunications infrastructure, data networking, connected home, and server and storage businesses.

We provide a full range of vertically-integrated global supply chain services through which we can design, build, ship and service a complete packaged product for our customers. Customers leverage our services to meet their product requirements throughout the entire product life cycle. Our vertically-integrated service offerings include: design services; rigid printed circuit board and flexible circuit board fabrication; systems assembly and manufacturing; logistics; after-sales services; supply chain management software solutions and component product offerings such as power supplies for computing and other electronic devices.

We use a portfolio management approach 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 align with our customers and to optimize our operating results. As part of our portfolio management strategy, we have decreased the percentage of our revenue from our HVS businesses, which has lower margins with our exit from our ODM PC business and a reduction of concentration of business with a well known smart phone OEM, and increased the percentage of our revenue from our more complex and higher margin non-HVS businesses. For the nine-month period ended December 31, 2012, the impact from our exit of our ODM PC business and the reduction of business with our largest smart phone OEM has resulted in shifting the mix of our revenue to comprise a greater proportion of non-HVS businesses.

During fiscal 2013, we have launched multiple new programs broadly across our portfolio of services, and, in some instances, we are deploying new technologies.  These new programs continue to increase in complexity in order to provide competitive advantages to our customers.  We anticipate these programs ramping to an increase in volume production in early fiscal 2014.  Until we achieve higher levels of revenue, we expect that our gross margin and operating margin may be negatively impacted as profitability normally lags revenue growth due to incremental start-up costs, operational inefficiencies, under-absorbed overhead costs and lower manufacturing program volumes while in the ramp phase.  We expect that our margins will improve over time as the revenue increases due to increased volumes for these programs.

In response to a challenging macroeconomic environment, we initiated certain restructuring activities intended to improve our operational efficiencies by reducing excess workforce and capacity.  The restructuring activities are targeted at rationalizing our global manufacturing capacity and infrastructure and will result in a further shift of manufacturing capacity to locations with higher efficiencies.   During the three-month period ended December 31, 2012, we recognized $102.7 million of pre-tax restructuring charges comprised of $20.6 million of cash charges predominantly related to employee severance costs and $82.1 million of non-cash charges primarily related to asset impairment charges.  We expect to recognize an additional $100 million to $125 million in pre-tax restructuring charges in our fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, comprised primarily of cash charges associated with employee termination costs to be classified as a component of cost of sales.  We expect these restructuring activities will allow for potential savings through

24

reduced employee expenses and lower operating costs and to yield annualized savings of $140 million to $160 million.  Refer to note 10 of our notes to condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

During fiscal 2013, the Company finalized the sale of certain non-core businesses and received $22.6 million in proceeds, net of $1.0 million of cash sold.

The Company has reported the results of operations and financial position of these non-core businesses as discontinued operations within the condensed consolidated statements of operations and the condensed consolidated balance sheets for all periods presented as applicable. Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, was $7.2 million and $25.5 million during the three-month and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2012, including $12.1 million for the loss on sale of these non-core businesses.  The data below, and discussion that follows, represent our results from continuing operations.

We are one of the world’s largest EMS providers, with revenues of $18.3 billion during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2012, and $29.4 billion in fiscal year 2012.  As of March 31, 2012, our total manufacturing capacity was approximately 26.7 million square feet.  We design, build, ship and service electronics products for our customers through a network of facilities in over 30 countries across four continents.  The following tables set forth net sales and net property and equipment, by country, based on the location of our manufacturing sites:

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 processes, and after sales services, and enable them to achieve meaningful time to market and cost savings.

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

·changes in the macro-economic 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 components offerings which have required that we make substantial investments in the resources necessary to design and develop these products;

25

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

·the effects on our business due to our customers’ products having short product life cycles;

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

·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 HVS market, which includes our mobile and consumer devices businesses which historically exhibit particular strength during our second and third fiscal quarters in connection with the holiday season.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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.

Refer to the accounting policies under Item 7, “Management’s 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, 2012, where we discuss our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Net sales during the three-month period ended December 31, 2012 totaled $6.1 billion, representing a decrease of approximately $1.4 billion, or 18.0%, from $7.5 billion during the three-month period ended December 31, 2011. The decline in net sales was primarily due to a $1.4 billion decrease in the HVS market, directly as a result of our strategy to rebalance our portfolio mix. As a part of this strategy, we exited the ODM PC business during fiscal 2012, which resulted in an approximately $0.2 billion reduction of sales, and reduced our concentration of business with a well known smart phone OEM, which resulted in an approximately $0.9 billion reduction of sales as compared with the three-month period ended December 31, 2011. Net sales decreased by $0.6 billion in Asia, $0.5 billion in the Americas, and $0.2 billion in Europe.

Net sales during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2012 totaled $18.3 billion, representing a decrease of approximately $4.7 billion, or 20.5%, from $23.0 billion during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2011. The decline in net sales was primarily due to a $4.5 billion decrease in the HVS market. Our exit from the ODM PC business during fiscal 2012 resulted in a $1.6 billion reduction of sales. Further, the decrease in our concentration of business with a well known smart phone OEM resulted in an approximately $1.7 billion reduction of sales in the HVS market as compared with the nine-month period ended December 31, 2011.  Net sales decreased by $3.1 billion in Asia, $0.9 billion in the Americas, and $0.6 billion in Europe.

Our ten largest customers during the three-month and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2012 accounted for approximately 49% and 48% of net sales, respectively. No customer accounted for greater than 10% of our net sales during the three-month and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2012.  Our ten largest customers during the three-month and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2011 accounted for approximately 55% and 57% of net sales, respectively.  Research In Motion accounted for greater than 10% of our net sales during the three-month and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2011.  Hewlett Packard accounted for greater than 10% of our net sales during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2011.

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. The flexible design of our manufacturing processes allows us to build a broad range of products in our facilities, which allows us to better utilize our manufacturing capacity. In the cases of new programs, profitability normally lags revenue growth due to product start-up costs, lower manufacturing program volumes in the start-up phase, operational inefficiencies, and under-absorbed overhead. Gross margin often improves over time as manufacturing program volumes increase, as our utilization rates and overhead absorption improves, and as we increase the level of vertically-integrated manufacturing services content. As a result of these various factors, our gross margin varies from period to period.

Gross profit during the three-month period ended December 31, 2012 decreased $139.2 million to $246.5 million, or 4.0% of net sales from $385.7 million, or 5.2% of net sales, during the three-month period ended December 31, 2011. Gross profit during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2012 decreased $188.4 million to $ 970.6 million, or 5.3% of net sales from $1.2 billion, or 5.0% of net sales, during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2011. Gross margins deteriorated 120 basis points in the three-month period ended December 31, 2012 compared to that of the three-month period ended December 31, 2011 primarily due to the restructuring charges amounting to $98.3 million, or 160 basis points, included in cost of sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2013.  During the three-month period ended December 31, 2012, our sales of products in the HVS market were significantly lower and comprised of a lower percentage of our total revenues, thereby increasing our gross margin as HVS products carry lower margins than the overall margins on the non-HVS business.  Despite the lower gross profit for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2012, the Company has experienced an increase in gross margin compared to the nine-month period ended December 31, 2011, attributable primarily to the more favorable product mix due to reductions of the HVS business which generates lower margins.

Restructuring charges

In response to a challenging macroeconomic environment, the Company initiated certain restructuring activities intended to improve its operational efficiencies by reducing excess workforce and capacity.  The restructuring activities are targeted at rationalizing the Company’s global manufacturing capacity and infrastructure and will result in a further shift of manufacturing

27

capacity to locations with higher efficiencies.   During the three-month period ended December 31, 2012, we recognized $102.7 million of pre-tax restructuring charges comprised of $20.6 million of cash charges predominantly related to employee severance costs and $82.1 million of non-cash charges primarily related asset impairment charges.  The restructuring charges by geographic region amounted to approximately $83.6 million in Asia, $17.9 million in Europe and $1.2 million in the Americas.  We classified approximately $98.3 million of these charges as a component of cost of sales and approximately $4.4 million of these charges as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses during the three-month period ended December 31, 2012.  As of December 31, 2012, accrued costs related to restructuring charges incurred were approximately $21.9 million, of which $20.2 million was classified as a current obligation. The Company expects to recognize an additional $100 million to $125 million in pre-tax restructuring charges in its fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, comprised primarily of cash charges associated with employee termination costs to be classified as a component of cost of sales.  The Company expects these restructuring activities will allow for potential savings through reduced employee expenses and lower operating costs and to yield annualized savings of $140 million to $160 million.

Refer to note 10 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion of our restructuring activities.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) amounted to $207.2 million, or 3.4% of net sales, during the three-month period ended December 31, 2012, decreasing $37.6 million from $244.8 million, or 3.3% of net sales, during the three-month period ended December 31, 2011. SG&A was $589.8 million, or 3.2% of net sales, during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2012, decreasing $77.2 million from $667.0 million, or 2.9% of net sales, during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2011. The decrease in SG&A in dollars for the three-month and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2012 was primarily due to elimination of costs relating to our ODM PC business which we fully exited during fiscal year 2012.  SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales increased primarily due to the combination of the lower revenues and the fixed nature of some of our SG&A expenses that are not directly driven by revenue generating activities.

Intangible amortization

Amortization of intangible assets decreased by $6.8 million during the three-month period ended December 31, 2012 to $6.1 million from $12.9 million for the three-month period ended December 31, 2011, and decreased by $15.3 million during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2012 to $21.2 million from $36.5 million for the nine-month period ended December 31 2011. The decrease for both periods was primarily due to the use of the accelerated method of amortization for certain customer-related intangibles, which results in decreasing expense over time, and also due to intangible assets that became fully amortized during the fiscal year 2012.

Interest and other expense (income), net

Interest and other expense (income), net was $17.1 million of income during the three-month period ended December 31, 2012 compared to $7.7 million of expense during the three-month period ended December 31, 2011, a change of $24.8 million that was primarily due to the fair value adjustment of $41.8 million of the Company’s warrants to purchase common shares of a supplier.  These fully-vested warrants, which are derivative instruments, are to be fair valued at each reporting date with gains or losses from changes in fair value recognized in the statements of operations. The fair value adjustment gain was partially off-set by a decrease in gains on foreign exchange transactions, impairment charges on investments, and a loss on the sale of an investment.  The decrease in gains on foreign exchange transactions is attributable to our cross-border foreign currency transactions and the revaluation of RMB denominated net asset positions of our U.S. dollar functional currency sites based in China.

Interest and other expense (income), net was $16.8 million of income during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2012 compared to $31.4 million of expense during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2011, a change of $48.2 million primarily due to the fair value adjustment of the warrants amounting to $64.8 million discussed above.

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 11, “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, 2012 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 estimation are not more likely than not to be realized. During the three-month period ended December 31, 2012, we released $10.5 million of such reserve related to deferred tax assets in our Brazilian operations.

28

The consolidated effective tax rate was 11.4% and 11.0% for the nine-month periods ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, and varies from the Singapore statutory rate of 17.0% as a result of 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, changes in liabilities for uncertain tax positions, 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 fiscal 2013 year effective rate as a result of changes to the mix in revenues and operating profits between taxing jurisdictions.  The effective tax rate for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2012 is higher than the effective rate for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2011 primarily as a result of changes in the mix of revenues and operating profits between taxing jurisdictions, reversals of valuation allowances (as discussed above) and a net increase in liabilities for uncertain tax positions of $12.6 million which are all recorded on a discrete basis in the quarter in which circumstances change and indicate an adjustment to income tax assets or liabilities as required.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of December 31, 2012, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $1.7 billion and bank and other borrowings of approximately $2.1 billion. We also have a $1.5 billion revolving credit facility that expires in October 2016 under which there were no borrowings outstanding as of the end of the quarter.  As of December 31, 2012, we were in compliance with the covenants under each of our existing credit facilities.

Cash provided by operating activities was $1.0 billion during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2012. This resulted primarily from $304.1 million of net income for the period as adjusted to exclude approximately $430.2 million of net non-cash expenses for depreciation, amortization and other impairment charges, and $271.8 million from changes in our operating assets and liabilities.

For the quarterly periods indicated, certain key liquidity metrics were as follows:

	Three-Month Periods Ended
	December 31, 2012	September 28, 2012	June 29, 2012	March 31, 2012	December 31, 2011
Days in trade accounts receivable	42 days	44 days	47 days	45 days	43 days
Days in inventory	47 days	49 days	52 days	52 days	48 days
Days in accounts payable	65 days	66 days	69 days	70 days	69 days
Cash conversion cycle	24 days	27 days	30 days	27 days	22 days

Days in trade accounts receivable was calculated as average accounts receivable for the current and prior quarters, 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 December 31, 2012, days in trade accounts receivable decreased by 1 day to 42 days compared to the three-month period ended December 31, 2011 primarily from a decrease in sales in the current quarter.  Non-cash accounts receivable sales, or deferred purchase price receivables included in the calculation of days in trade receivables were $462.0 million, $458.1 million, $513.9 million, $514.9 million, and $750.3 million for the quarters ended December 31, 2012, September 28, 2012, June 29, 2012, March 31, 2012, and December 31, 2011, respectively. Deferred purchase price receivables are recorded in other current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. For further information regarding deferred purchase price receivables see note 8 of our notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

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.  Days in inventory during the three-month period ended December 31, 2012 decreased by 1 day to 47 days, compared to the three-month period ended December 31, 2011.  The decrease was primarily as a result of restructuring charges of $98.3 million included in cost of sales in the current quarter.

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 December 31, 2012, days in accounts payable decreased by 4 days to 65 days compared to the three-month period ended December 31, 2011 primarily due to timing of supplier payments and to a lesser extent due to restructuring costs of $98.3 million included in cost of sales in the current quarter.

Our cash conversion cycle was calculated as the sum of inventory turns in days and days sales of receivables outstanding less days payable outstanding in accounts payable.  During the three-month period ended December 31, 2012, our cash conversion cycle

29

increased by 2 days to 24 days compared to the three-month period ended December 31, 2011, due to the factors for each of the components in the calculation discussed above.

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 increased to 6.6% for the quarter ended December 31, 2012, compared to 6.3% for the quarter ended December 31, 2011, also as a result of our portfolio mix shifting to include a greater proportion of non-HVS business, which carry higher net working capital requirements.

Cash used by investing activities amounted to $583.0 million during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2012.  This resulted primarily from $328.1 million in net capital expenditures for property and equipment, $183.9 million from our four acquisitions completed during fiscal 2013, and $101.5 million relating to purchases of customer specific assets as discussed in note 11 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

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. Our free cash flow, which is calculated as cash provided by operations less net purchases of property and equipment, was $678.0 million for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2012 compared to $335.8 million for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2011. Free cash flows reconcile to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure of cash flows from operations as follows:

	Nine-Month Periods Ended
	December 31, 2012			December 31, 2011
	(In thousands)
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	1,006,057		$	665,584
Purchases of property and equipment	(377,901		)	(375,677		)
Proceeds from the disposition of property and equipment	49,819			45,919
Free cash flow	$	677,975		$	335,826

Cash used in financing activities was $226.5 million during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2012, which was primarily the result of our repurchase of approximately 33.0 million of our ordinary shares for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $208.2 million and net repayments of debt of $118.6 million, partially off-set by the funding used to finance customer specific assets amounting to $85.6 million as further described in note 11 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Our cash balances are held in numerous locations throughout the world. Liquidity is affected by many factors, some of which are based on normal ongoing operations of the business and some of which arise from fluctuations related to global economics and markets. Cash balances are generated and held in many locations throughout the world. Local government regulations may restrict our ability to move cash balances to meet cash needs under certain circumstances; however, any current restrictions are not material. We do not currently expect such regulations and restrictions to impact our ability to pay vendors and conduct operations throughout the global organization. We believe that our existing cash balances, together with anticipated cash flows from operations and borrowings available under our credit facilities, will be sufficient to fund our operations through at least the next twelve months. As of December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012, 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 tax 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 $570.0 million as of March 31, 2012). 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.

30

We anticipate that we will enter into debt and equity financings, sales of accounts receivable and lease transactions to fund acquisitions and growth.

We continue to assess our capital structure and evaluate the merits of redeploying available cash to reduce existing debt or repurchase ordinary shares. During the nine-month period ended December 31, 2012, we repaid the full $140.0 million outstanding under our $1.5 billion revolving credit facility, borrowed an additional $50.0 million under our New Term Loan facility maturing in 2016 and improved our cash flow further by $90.9 million through increasing the amount of trade receivables sold for cash.

On August 30, 2012, the Company’s shareholders approved the repurchase of approximately 66.7 million additional shares, or 10% of the Company’s ordinary shares outstanding as of the date of the 2012 Extraordinary General Meeting, and our Board of Directors on September 13, 2012 authorized the repurchase of up to 10% of such shares under this mandate.  During the third quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company repurchased 12.6 million shares for an aggregate purchase price of $74.2 million, and retired all of these shares. As of December 31, 2012, approximately 54.1 million remaining shares were authorized to be repurchased under the current plan.  During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the entire remaining amount under the prior shareholder purchase mandate of approximately 20.4 million shares were repurchased for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $134.0 million.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND COMMITMENTS

Information regarding our long-term debt payments, operating lease payments, capital lease payments and other commitments is provided in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Annual Report on our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012.  As discussed in note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2012, we repaid $140.0 million outstanding under our $1.5 billion revolving credit facility and increased the amount of our term loan due October 2016 by $50.0 million.  There have been no other material changes in our contractual obligations and commitments since March 31, 2012 except as discussed in note 11 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

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 $462.0 million as of December 31, 2012. For further information see note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There were no material changes in our exposure to market risks for changes in interest and foreign currency exchange rates for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2012 as compared to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012.

We have warrants to purchase common shares of a certain supplier, which create exposures for us related to market price volatility. We value these warrants using the Black-Scholes option-valuation model. For the three-months ended December 31, 2012, we used the following assumptions to value these warrants:

	As of December 31, 2012
Remaining life	5.4
Volatility	53	%
Dividend yield	0	%
Risk-free rate	0.81	%

The Company expects that changes in the fair value of these warrants will impact its future results of operations.

31

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 December 31, 2012, 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 December 31, 2012, such disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our third quarter of fiscal year 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

32

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, the Company is subject to legal proceedings, claims, and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company defends itself vigorously against any such claims. Although the outcome of these matters is currently not determinable, management expects that any losses that are probable or reasonably possible of being incurred as a result of these matters, which are in excess of amounts already accrued in its condensed consolidated balance sheets would not be material to the financial statements as a whole.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2012, 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.

This AMENDMENT TO SHARE BONUS AWARD AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”) is entered into as of [<<DATE>>], by and between Flextronics International Ltd., a Singapore corporation (the “Company”) and [<<NAME>>] (the “Participant”), and amends that certain Share Bonus Award Agreement dated as of [<<Original Date>>] (the “Agreement”), by and between the Company and the Participant.

WHEREAS, the Company and the Participant desire to amend certain provisions of the Agreement to implement the Company’s retirement policy for certain performance based equity awards.

In consideration of the promises and mutual covenants contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties agree as follows:

1.Termination of Service.  Section 1.1(c) of the Agreement is hereby amended to implement retirement provisions and is therefore amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:

(c) Termination. The Share Bonus Award, all of the Company’s obligations and the Participant’s rights under this Agreement, shall terminate on the earlier of the Participant’s Termination Date (as defined in the Plan) or the date when all the Shares that are subject to the Share Bonus Award have been allotted and issued, or cancelled in the case of Shares that fail to vest; provided, however, that if the Participant has a Termination due to Retirement, then (i) the Share Bonus Award and all rights and obligations hereunder will not terminate and (ii) a pro-rata number of Vested Shares shall be issued to the Participant upon the vesting of the Share Bonus Award pursuant to the Performance Criteria, with the number of Shares that vest determined by multiplying the full number of Shares subject to the Share Bonus Award by a fraction, which shall be (x) the number of complete months of continuous service as an employee from the grant date of the Share Bonus Award to the date of Retirement, divided by (y) the number of months from the grant date to the vesting/ release date; provided, further, that if with twelve months of Retirement, the Participant violates the terms of a non-disclosure agreement with, or other confidentiality obligation

owed to, the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or affiliate, then the Share Bonus Award and all of the Company’s obligations and the Participant’s rights under this Agreement shall terminate.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Retirement” shall mean the Participant’s voluntary termination of service after the Participant has attained age sixty (60) and completed at least ten (10) years of service as an employee of the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or affiliate.

PRIMARY INFORMATION
Participant:	«First» «Last»,
Target Shares:	«Target Shares»
Maximum Shares:	«Max Shares» (at 150% of Target)
Date of Grant:	«Grant Date»
Performance Criteria:	Vesting is based on the relative Total Shareholder Return (TSR) versus the S&P 500 Index.

Payout Table: Payouts can range from 0 — 150% of the Target Shares based on the achievement levels set forth in the chart below:

Flextronics TSR as a percentage of the S&P 500 Index Average TSR		Awards Earned as a % of the Target
Maximum	Above 150% of S&P	150	%
	Above 125% of S&P	125	%
Target Shares	Above 100% of S&P	100	%
	Above 75% of S&P	75	%
Threshold	Above 50% of S&P	50	%
	Below 50% of S&P	0	%

Performance Period: Vesting is contingent on achieving the Performance Criteria, respectively, at the 3rd and 4th year anniversaries of              20    , as set forth more specifically in the definition of “Measurement Period”, below. 50% of the Maximum Shares are available for vesting based on achievement of the Performance Criteria on the 3rd anniversary, and 50% of the Maximum Shares are available for vesting based on achievement of the Performance Criteria on the 4th anniversary.

DEFINITIONS AND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

S&P 500 Index:	The S&P 500 is a capitalization-weighted index operated by Standard and Poor’s 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

2

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 Flextronics’s and the S&P 500’s Closing Prices on the previous 20 trading days prior to         , 20     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           , 20     and end         , 20       and         , 20      .
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              th. Therefore, the respective Release Dates will be         , 20       and         , 20      . 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.

EXAMPLES

Assumptions:

The examples below assume that 90,000 Target Shares / 135,000 Maximum Shares are awarded and that Flextronics’s and the S&P Index 20-Day Trading Averages are $7.00 and $1,000 respectively on         , 20      .

Maximum Target:

	Price Begin		Dividend Value		Price End		TSR Calculation
S&P 500	$	1,000	$	100.00	$	1,100	(1,100 - 1,000 + 100) / 1,000 = 20%
Flextronics	$	7.00	$	0.00	$	10.50	(10.50 – 7.00 + 0) / 7.00 = 50%

Payout Calculation:	((50% - 20%) / 20%) + 100% = 250%
Target Awarded:	250% is above the 150% Maximum Target so Maximum Payout of 150% or 135,000 shares is achieved

Interpolated Target:

	Price Begin		Dividend Value		Price End		TSR Calculation
S&P 500	$	1,000	$	0.00	$	700	(700 - 1,000 + 0) / 1,000 = (30)%
Flextronics	$	7.00	$	0.00	$	5.25	(5.25 – 7.00 + 0) / 7.00 = (25)%

Payout Calculation:	((-25% + 30%) / 30%) +100% = 117%
Target Awarded:	117% is above the Minimum and below the Maximum Targets so an interpolated Payout of 117% of the Target Shares or 105,300 shares is achieved.

4

Forfeited:

	Price Begin		Dividend Value		Price End		TSR Calculation
S&P 500	$	1,000	$	0.00	$	1,200	(1,200 - 1,000 + 0) / 1,000 = 20%
Flextronics	$	7.00	$	0.00	$	7.65	(7.65 – 7 + 0) / 7.00 = 9.3%

Payout Calculation:	((9.3% - 20%) / 20%) +100% = 47%
Target Awarded:	47% is below the 50% Minimum Target so no Payout is achieved

1.Grant of RSU Award.

1.1Grant 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.”

(b) Termination of Service. The RSU Award, all of the Company’s obligations and the Participant’s rights under this Agreement, shall terminate on the earlier of the Participant’s 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; provided, however, that if the Participant has a Termination of Service due to Retirement, then (i) the RSU Award and all rights and obligations hereunder will not terminate and (ii) a pro-rata number of vested Shares shall be issued to the Participant upon the vesting of the RSU Award pursuant to the Performance Criteria, with the number of Shares that vest determined by multiplying the full number of Shares subject to the RSU Award by a fraction, which shall be (x) the number of complete months of continuous service as an Employee from the grant date of the RSU Award to the date of Retirement, divided by (y) the number of months from the grant date to the vesting date; provided, further, that if within twelve months of Retirement, the Participant violates the terms of a non-disclosure agreement with, or other confidentiality obligation owed to, the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate, then the RSU Award and all of the Company’s obligations and the Participant’s rights under this Agreement shall terminate.

5

For purposes of this Agreement, “Retirement” shall mean the Participant’s voluntary Termination of Service after the Participant has attained age sixty (60) and completed at least ten (10) years of service as an Employee of the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate.

(c) 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.

(d) 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 Participant’s employment or service relationship at any time, with or without cause.

(e) Nontransferability of RSU Award. None of the Participant’s 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.

(f) 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.

(g) 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.

1.2Title to Shares. Title will be provided in the Participant’s individual name on the Company’s 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.

2.1Deliveries by Participant. The Participant hereby delivers to the Company this Agreement.

2.2Deliveries 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.

6

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 Company’s 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.

5.1Stop-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.

5.2Refusal 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.

6.1Tax Obligations.

(a)Regardless of any action the Company or the Participant’s 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 Participant’s 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 Participant’s 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 Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve

7

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 Participant’s 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 Participant’s 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 Participant’s 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 Participant’s 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.

6.2Disposition 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;

8

(c) all decisions with respect to future RSU Awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;

(d) the Participant’s participation in the Plan is voluntary;

(e) the future value of the Shares underlying the RSU Award is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty;

(f) 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 Participant’s 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

(g) 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 Participant’s Termination of Service (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), the Participant’s 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 Participant’s 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

9.     Data Privacy.

(a) The Participant hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of the Participant’s 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 Participant’s 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 Participant’s 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 Participant’s 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 Participant’s 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 Participant’s 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 Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of the Participant’s 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 Participant’s heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns.

10

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.

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.

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 Participant’s 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.

11

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 Participant’s 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.

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 Participant’s 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 Participant’s 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 Participant’s 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.

During the nine-month period ended December 31, 2012, the Company granted 9.3 million unvested share bonus awards at an average grant date price of $6.74 per share, under its 2010 Equity Incentive Plan.  Of this amount, approximately 2.2 million represents the target amount of grants made to certain key employees whereby vesting is contingent on 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 cliff vest after a period of three years, if such market conditions have been met. The number of shares issued can range from zero to 4.4 million.  The average grant-date fair value of these awards was estimated to be $7.64 per share and was calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation.  As of December 31, 2012, approximately 22.1 million of unvested share bonus awards were outstanding, of which vesting for 4.2 million is contingent on meeting the certain market condition above. The number of shares issued can range from zero to 7.4 million based on the achievement levels of the targeted market condition.

As of December 31, 2012, total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested share bonus awards is $82.7 million, net of estimated forfeitures, and will be recognized over a weighted-average remaining vesting period of 2.7 years. Approximately $10.0 million of the total unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, is related to awards whereby vesting is contingent on meeting a certain market condition, as discussed above.

SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

2.  SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP” or “GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the requirements of Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2013.

The first quarter for fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012 ended on June 29, 2012 and July 1, 2011, respectively. The second quarter for fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012 ended on September 28, 2012 and September 30, 2011, respectively.  The Company’s third fiscal quarter ends on December 31, and the fourth fiscal quarter and year ends on March 31 of each year.

The Company initiated certain restructuring activities in the third quarter of fiscal 2013 to rationalize the Company’s manufacturing capacity and infrastructure.  The restructuring activities are intended to improve operational efficiencies by reducing excess workforce and capacity.  In addition to these cost reductions, these activities will result in a further shift of manufacturing capacity to locations with higher efficiencies.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company finalized the sale of certain assets of its Vista Point Technologies camera modules business, including intellectual property and the China-based manufacturing operations to Tessera Technologies, Inc. (“Tessera Technologies”), and DigitalOptics Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tessera Technologies.  In addition, during the third quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company finalized the sale of another non-core business.

In accordance with the accounting guidance, these non-core businesses represent separate asset groups and the divestitures qualify as discontinued operations, and accordingly, the Company has reported the results of operations and financial position of these businesses in discontinued operations within the condensed consolidated statements of operations and the condensed consolidated balance sheets for all periods presented as applicable.

For the nine-month period ended December 31, 2011, approximately $975.7 million of proceeds from bank borrowings and repayment of bank borrowings, related to certain short-term facilities, were previously reflected on a gross basis in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. These amounts should have been reflected on a net basis in “repayment of bank borrowings, long-term debt and capital lease obligations” and have been corrected in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. The correction had no net impact on total cash used in financing activities.  This error had no impact on current year cash flows.

The gross carrying amounts of intangible assets are removed when the recorded amounts have been fully amortized. During the nine-month period ended December 31, 2012, the Company recognized a charge for impairment of customer-related intangible assets with a net carrying amount of $10.0 million, which is included in the results from discontinued operations, in connection with the non-core business that was divested based on the carrying value of net assets and the expected sale proceeds.  During the three-month period ended December 31, 2012, the value of customer-related intangible assets increased by $24.7 million in connection with an acquisition described in detail at note 11 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. The purchase price allocation is preliminary and is subject to change as the Company continues to evaluate the value of assets and liabilities relating to this acquisition.  During the nine-month period ended December 31, 2012, the value of intangible assets increased by $88.0 million related to a license agreement for exclusive manufacturing rights and certain manufacturing technologies and processes in connection with an acquisition as more fully described in note 11 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.  Total intangible amortization expense was $13.0 million and $28.9 million during the three-month and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2012, respectively, of which $6.9 million and $7.7 million was recorded in cost of sales during the three-month and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2012, respectively, in connection with the aforementioned acquisition.  Total intangible amortization expense was $12.9 million and $36.5 million during the three-month and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2011, respectively. The estimated future annual amortization expense for acquired intangible assets is as follows:

Fiscal Year Ending March 31,	Total

11. BUSINESS AND ASSET ACQUISITIONS

On December 3, 2012, the Company completed its acquisition of all outstanding common stock of Saturn Electronics and Engineering, Inc. (“Saturn”), a supplier of electronics manufacturing services, solenoids and wiring for the automotive, appliance, consumer, energy and industrial markets.  The acquisition of Saturn broadened the Company’s service offering and strengthened its capabilities in the automotive and consumer electronics businesses.  The results of operations were included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial results beginning on the date of acquisition and did not have a material impact on revenue or net income during the three-month and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2012.

The initial cash consideration for this acquisition amounted to $193.7 million with an additional $15.0 million estimated in relation to potential contingent consideration, for a total purchase consideration of $208.7 million. The total amount of cash acquired from this acquisition amounted to $2.2 million, resulting in net cash of $191.5 million paid during the three-month period ended December 31, 2012.  The Company primarily acquired accounts receivable, inventory, manufacturing assets and customer relationships, and recorded goodwill of $106.2 million in connection with this acquisition.

Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation

The allocation of the purchase price to Saturn’s tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed was based on their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition. The valuation of these tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities is preliminary, subject to completion of a formal valuation process and further management review, and will be adjusted as additional information becomes available during the allocation period. Such adjustments may have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations. The excess of the purchase price over the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed has been allocated to goodwill.

The following represents the Company’s preliminary allocation of the total purchase price to the acquired assets and liabilities assumed of Saturn (in thousands):

Current assets:
Cash and cash equivalents	$	2,191
Accounts receivable	44,879
Inventories	22,454
Other current assets	770
Total current assets	70,294
Property and equipment	42,621
Goodwill	106,257
Other intangible assets	24,700
Other assets	991
Total assets	$	244,863
Current liabilities:
Accounts payable	$	29,539
Other current liabilities	6,269
Total current liabilities	35,808
Other liabilities	364
Total aggregate purchase price	$	208,691

During the nine-month period ended December 31, 2012, the Company completed three other acquisitions that were not individually, nor in the aggregate, significant to the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The total consideration, which was paid in cash for these acquisitions and earn outs related to certain prior period acquisitions amounted to $72.5 million. The total amount of cash acquired from these acquisitions amounted to $80.1 million, resulting in net cash of $7.6 million acquired for these acquisitions during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2012. One of the acquired businesses expanded the Company’s capabilities primarily in the medical and defense markets; another acquired business will support the hardware product manufacturing needs of an existing customer in the technology industry; and the other acquired business will expand the Company’s capabilities primarily in the LED design and manufacturing market. The Company primarily acquired cash, inventory and certain other manufacturing assets, and recorded goodwill of $66.2 million in connection with these acquisitions. The potential amount of future payments which the Company could be required to make under contingent consideration arrangements relating to these acquisitions is not material.

In connection with one of the acquisitions during the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company acquired certain manufacturing assets that were purchased by the acquired company on behalf of an existing customer and will be continued to be used exclusively for the benefit of this customer. These assets are financed by a third party banking institution acting as an agent of the customer under an agreement, the terms of which reset annually.  The Company can settle the obligation related to these assets by returning the respective assets to the customer and will not be required to pay cash by either the customer or the third party banking institution to settle the obligation.  Accordingly, these assets amounting to $258.5 million and the liability amounting to $256.5 million have been included in other current assets and other current liabilities, respectively as of December 31, 2012.  The cash flows relating to the purchase of assets by the Company on behalf of the customer amounting to $101.5 million has been included in other investing cash flows for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2012.  Net cash inflows amounting to $85.6 million relating to the funding of these assets by the financial institution on behalf of the customer has been included in cash flows from other financing activities during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2012.  In conjunction with this acquisition, the Company acquired a license agreement for exclusive manufacturing rights and access to certain manufacturing technologies and processes.  In consideration for this license, the Company is obligated to pay the customer $88.0 million representing the estimated fair value of the license.  The obligation will be reduced over the term of the service arrangement as product is manufactured on behalf of the customer, and if a certain minimum number of products are manufactured over the term of the customer arrangement the $88.0 million obligation will be fully satisfied.

The Company continues to evaluate certain assets and liabilities related to business combinations completed during the recent periods. Additional information, which existed as of the acquisition date, may become known to the Company during the remainder of the measurement period, a period not to exceed 12 months from the acquisition date. Changes to amounts recorded as assets or liabilities may result in a corresponding adjustment to goodwill.

The goodwill generated from the Company’s business combinations completed during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2012 is primarily related to value placed on the employee workforce, service offerings and capabilities, and expected synergies. The goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the operating results of each business combination from the date of acquisition and the related transaction costs incurred which are not material. Pro forma results of operations for the acquisitions completed during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2012 have not been presented because the effects of the acquisitions, individually and in the aggregate, were not material to the Company’s financial results.

From time to time, the Company is subject to legal proceedings, claims, and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company defends itself vigorously against any such claims. Although the outcome of these matters is currently not determinable, management expects that any losses that are probable or reasonably possible of being incurred as a result of these matters, which are in excess of amounts already accrued in its condensed consolidated balance sheets would not be material to the financial statements as a whole.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact, and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. The accounting guidance for fair value establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

Level 1 - Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

The Company has deferred compensation plans for its officers and certain other employees.  Deferred amounts under the plans are invested in hypothetical investments selected by the participant or the participant’s investment manager.  The Company’s deferred compensation plan assets are included in other noncurrent assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and primarily include investments in equity securities that are valued using active market prices.

The Company values available for sale investments using level 1 inputs which are active market trading prices.

Level 2 - Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets) such as cash and cash equivalents and money market funds; or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

The Company values foreign exchange forward contracts using level 2 observable inputs which primarily consist of an income approach based on the present value of the forward rate less the contract rate multiplied by the notional amount.

The Company’s cash equivalents are comprised of bank deposits and money market funds, which are valued using level 2 inputs, such as interest rates and maturity periods. Due to their short-term nature, their carrying amount approximates fair value.

The Company’s deferred compensation plan assets also include money market funds, mutual funds, corporate and government bonds and certain convertible securities that are valued using prices obtained from various pricing sources.  These sources price these investments using certain market indices and the performance of these investments in relation to these indices.  As a result, the Company has classified these investments as level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Level 3 - Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The Company values deferred purchase price receivables relating to its asset-backed securitization program based on a discounted cash flow analysis using unobservable inputs (i.e., level 3 inputs), which are primarily risk free interest rates adjusted for the credit quality of the underlying creditor and due to its high credit quality and short term maturity their fair value approximates carrying value.  Significant increases in either of the significant unobservable inputs (credit spread, risk free interest rate) in isolation would result in lower fair value estimates, but is insignificant. The interrelationship between these inputs is also insignificant.  Refer to note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for a reconciliation of the change in the deferred purchase price receivable during the nine-month periods ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

The Company has warrants to purchase up to 1.35 million shares of the common stock of a certain supplier at a weighted-average price of $7.33 per share.  The warrants expire on May 18, 2018.  These fully vested warrants, which are derivative instruments, are to be fair valued at each reporting date with gains or losses from changes in fair value recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.  The Company values these warrants based on the Black-Scholes option-valuation model using unobservable inputs classified as level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.  Significant changes in any of the significant unobservable inputs in isolation would result in a change in the fair value estimate, but in each case, the amount would be insignificant.  As of December 31, 2012, the Company used the following assumptions to fair value these warrants:

	As of December 31, 2012
Remaining life	5.4
Volatility	53	%
Dividend yield	0	%
Risk-free rate	0.81	%

The following table summarizes the changes in the fair value adjustment of these warrants:

	Amount

Balance, March 31, 2012	$	—
Fair value adjustment	23,000
Balance, September 28, 2012	23,000
Fair value adjustment	41,761
Balance, December 31, 2012	$	64,761

There were no transfers between levels in the fair value hierarchy during the three-month and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

Assets held for sale

As of December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012, no impairment charges were recorded for assets that were no longer in use and held for sale which exclude those assets that have been identified as relating to discontinued operations as discussed further in note 14 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.  The assets held for sale primarily represent manufacturing facilities that have been closed as part of the Company’s historical facility consolidations.

Property and equipment

During the three-month period December 31, 2012, the Company recognized impairment charges relating to certain held and used long-lived assets as a result of its restructuring activities as further discussed in note 10 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

There were no material fair value adjustments or other transfers between levels in the fair value hierarchy for these long-lived assets during the three-month and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

Total	$	2,063,340	$	2,078,807	$	2,184,095	$	2,168,978

Revolving credit facility - The carrying amount, if any, approximates fair value due to the short term nature of the interest rates underlying any borrowings under this facility, though the facility itself is available to the Company on a long term basis.

Term loans dated October 1, 2007 and October 19, 2011 - The term loans are valued based on broker trading prices in active markets.

Asia term loans - The Company’s Asia Term Loans are not traded publicly; however, as the pricing, maturity and other pertinent terms of these loans closely approximate those of the Term Loan Agreements dated October 1, 2007, and October 19, 2011, management estimates the respective trading prices would be approximately the same.

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 (income), net in the condensed consolidated statements 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 December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012, the Company also has included net deferred gains and losses, respectively, in accumulated other comprehensive loss, 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 gains as of December 31, 2012 are expected to be recognized primarily as a component of cost of sales in the condensed consolidated statements of operations primarily 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 (income), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

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 Company maintains a continuing involvement in the receivables sold as a result of the deferred purchase price. 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 and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 were not material and are included in interest and other expense (income), 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 December 31, 2012, approximately $1.0 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 $576.3 million and deferred purchase price receivables of approximately $462.0 million.  As of March 31, 2012, approximately $1.1 billion of accounts receivable had been sold to the special purpose entities for which the Company had received net cash proceeds of $556.8 million and deferred purchase price receivables of approximately $514.9 million.  The deferred purchase price receivables are included in other current assets as of December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012, and were carried at the expected recovery amount of the related receivables.  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 (income), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations; such amounts were $2.2 million and $5.7 million for the three-month and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2012, respectively, and $2.5 million and $8.8 million for the three-month and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2011, respectively.

As of December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012, 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.

For the nine-month periods ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, cash flows from sales of receivables under the ABS Programs consisted of approximately $2.8 billion and $3.6 billion for transfers of receivables, respectively (of which approximately $0.5 billion and $0.4 billion, respectively represented new transfers and the remainder proceeds from collections reinvested in revolving-period transfers).

The following table summarizes the activity in the deferred purchase price receivables account:

The Company also sold accounts receivables to certain third-party banking institutions. The outstanding balance of receivables sold and not yet collected was approximately $182.0 million and $110.5 million as of December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012, respectively. For the nine-month periods ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, total accounts receivable sold to certain third party banking institutions was approximately $820.7 million and $1.6 billion, respectively. The loss on sales of accounts receivables sold was not material for the three-month and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.  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 statements of cash flows.

RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

10. RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

In response to a challenging macroeconomic environment, the Company initiated certain restructuring activities intended to improve its operational efficiencies by reducing excess workforce and capacity.  The restructuring activities are targeted at rationalizing the Company’s global manufacturing capacity and infrastructure and will result in a further shift of manufacturing capacity to locations with higher efficiencies.  Restructuring charges are recorded based upon employee termination dates, site closure and consolidation plans.

During the three-month period ended December 31, 2012, the Company recognized restructuring charges of approximately $102.7 million.  The costs associated with these restructuring activities include employee severance, other personnel costs, non-cash impairment charges on facilities and equipment that are not recoverable through future cash flows or are no longer in use and are to be disposed of, and other exit related costs due to facility closures. The Company classified approximately $98.3 million of these charges as a component of cost of sales and approximately $4.4 million of these charges as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses during the three-month and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2012.

The components of the restructuring charges by geographic region during the three-month period ended December 31, 2012 were as follows:

	Americas		Asia		Europe		Total
	(In thousands)
Severance	$	863	$	8,572	$	6,142	$	15,577

Total restructuring charges	$	1,185	$	83,640	$	17,866	$	102,691

During the three-month period ended December 31, 2012 the Company recognized approximately $15.6 million of severance costs related to employee terminations.  Approximately $12.1 million of this was classified as a component of cost of sales.

During the three-month period ended December 31, 2012 the Company recognized approximately $56.1 million for the write-down of property and equipment and other manufacturing assets, which are continuing to be held and used by the Company.  The majority of this amount was classified as a component of cost of sales.

During the three-month period ended December 31, 2012, the Company recognized approximately $31.0 million of other exit costs, which primarily comprised of $21.6 million for the write-down of certain customer specific assets that were determined to be unrecoverable based on a specific product exit and  resulting declining customer volumes.  Additionally, other exit costs include $8.4 million of customer disengagement costs primarily related to inventory that resulted from facility closures or a product exit and $1.0 million of other miscellaneous items.

The following table summarizes the provisions, respective payments, and remaining accrued balance as of December 31, 2012 for charges incurred in fiscal year 2013 and prior periods:

SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP” or “GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the requirements of Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2013.

The first quarter for fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012 ended on June 29, 2012 and July 1, 2011, respectively. The second quarter for fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012 ended on September 28, 2012 and September 30, 2011, respectively.  The Company’s third fiscal quarter ends on December 31, and the fourth fiscal quarter and year ends on March 31 of each year.

The Company initiated certain restructuring activities in the third quarter of fiscal 2013 to rationalize the Company’s manufacturing capacity and infrastructure.  The restructuring activities are intended to improve operational efficiencies by reducing excess workforce and capacity.  In addition to these cost reductions, these activities will result in a further shift of manufacturing capacity to locations with higher efficiencies.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company finalized the sale of certain assets of its Vista Point Technologies camera modules business, including intellectual property and the China-based manufacturing operations to Tessera Technologies, Inc. (“Tessera Technologies”), and DigitalOptics Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tessera Technologies.  In addition, during the third quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company finalized the sale of another non-core business.

In accordance with the accounting guidance, these non-core businesses represent separate asset groups and the divestitures qualify as discontinued operations, and accordingly, the Company has reported the results of operations and financial position of these businesses in discontinued operations within the condensed consolidated statements of operations and the condensed consolidated balance sheets for all periods presented as applicable.

For the nine-month period ended December 31, 2011, approximately $975.7 million of proceeds from bank borrowings and repayment of bank borrowings, related to certain short-term facilities, were previously reflected on a gross basis in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. These amounts should have been reflected on a net basis in “repayment of bank borrowings, long-term debt and capital lease obligations” and have been corrected in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. The correction had no net impact on total cash used in financing activities.  This error had no impact on current year cash flows.
