Item 4. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

     The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Sanmina-SCI Corporation annually considers and recommends to the Board the selection of Sanmina-SCI’s independent auditors. It is the responsibility of the Audit Committee to report to the Board of Directors regarding matters relating to the independent auditors.

     As recommended by Sanmina-SCI’s Audit Committee, Sanmina-SCI’s Board of Directors on April 18, 2002 decided to no longer engage Arthur Andersen LLP (“Andersen”) as Sanmina-SCI’s independent public accountants, effective after Andersen’s review of the Company’s financial results for the quarter ended March 30, 2002 and the filing of the company’s Form 10-Q for such quarter, and authorized the engagement of KPMG LLP to serve as Sanmina-SCI’s independent public accountants for fiscal 2002.

     Andersen’s reports on Sanmina-SCI’s consolidated financial statements for the past two years ended September 29, 2001 and September 30, 2000 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During Sanmina-SCI’s two most recent fiscal years and through the date of this Form 8-K, there were no disagreements with Andersen on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to Andersen’s satisfaction, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter in connection with their report on Sanmina-SCI’s consolidated financial statements for such years; and there were no reportable events, as listed in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

     Sanmina-SCI provided Andersen with a copy of the foregoing disclosures. Attached as Exhibit 16, is a copy of Andersen’s letter, dated April 22, 2002, stating its agreement with such statements.

     During Sanmina-SCI’s two most recent fiscal years and through the date of this Form 8-K, Sanmina-SCI did not consult KPMG LLP with respect to the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on Sanmina-SCI’s consolidated financial statements, or any other matters or reportable events listed in Items 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.
