SANMINA-SCI CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Sanmina-SCI Corporation (Sanmina-SCI, we, our, the Company) have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules or regulations. The interim financial statements are unaudited, but reflect all normal recurring adjustments and non-recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation.
The results of operations for the six months ended March 31, 2007, is not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year. We have restated our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the six month period ended April 1, 2006, refer to our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information.
These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended September 30, 2006, included in our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
On September 13, 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements. SAB No. 108, addresses quantifying the financial statement effects of misstatements; specifically, how the effects of prior year uncorrected misstatements must be considered in quantifying misstatements in the current year financial statements. In addition, SAB No. 108 provides guidance on the correction of misstatements, including the correction of prior period financial statements for immaterial misstatements. Importantly, SAB No. 108 offers a one-time special transition provision for correcting certain prior year misstatements that were uncorrected as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. SAB No. 108 is effective for fiscal years ended after November 15, 2006. We expect to adopt this standard during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007, effective as of the beginning of fiscal year 2008. We are currently reviewing this bulletin to determine the potential impact to our financial statements.
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plansan Amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R). The statement requires an employer to recognize in its statement of financial position an asset for a plans over-funded status or a liability for a plans under-funded status. The measurement date of the plans assets and obligations that determine the funded status will be as of the end of the Companys fiscal year. The statement will be effective as of the end of fiscal 2007. We are currently reviewing this statement to determine the potential impact to our financial position, results of operations, and related cash flows.
In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxesan interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. The interpretation contains a two step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 109. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount which is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The provisions are effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this statement will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2006, the FASB ratified the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue 06-3, How Taxes Collected From Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement, (EITF 06-3). In EITF
6
06-3 a consensus was reached that entities may adopt a policy of presenting taxes assessed by a governmental authority that is both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction between a seller and a customer, including but not limited to sales and value-added taxes in the income statement on either a gross or net basis. If an entity reports these taxes on a gross basis, the entity should disclose its policy of presenting taxes and the amount of taxes if reflected on a gross basis in the income statement if that amount is significant. EITF 06-3 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2006. This statement is effective immediately. The Company presents revenues net of sales and value-added taxes in its Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company does not anticipate any impact to its financial position, results of operations, and related cash flows from the adoption of EITF 06-3.
Note 2. Stock-Based Compensation
Effective October 2, 2005, the Company began recording compensation expense associated with stock options and other forms of equity compensation in accordance with the SFAS No. 123R. Compensation cost associated with equity compensation recognized during the three and six months ended March 31, 2007 and April 1, 2006, includes: 1) stock-based compensation cost related to equity-based awards granted prior to October 2, 2005 that vested, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123; and 2) stock-based compensation cost expensing of all stock option awards granted subsequent to October 1, 2005, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123R. The compensation expense for stock based compensation awards includes an estimate for forfeitures and is recognized over the vesting term using the ratable method. The Company recorded a cumulative effect benefit adjustment for estimated forfeitures of approximately $5.7 million for previously issued restricted stock and stock options upon the adoption of SFAS No. 123R during the six month period ended April 1, 2006.
Total stock compensation expense (excluding the $5.7 million benefit recorded on cumulative effect of accounting change) for the three and six months ended March 31, 2007 and April 1, 2006 (restated), respectively, are represented by expense categories in the table below:

Stock Options
The Companys stock option plans provide its employees the right to purchase common stock at the fair market value of such shares on the grant date. The Company amortizes its stock options over the vesting period which is generally five years. New hire options vest 20% at the end of year one and then vest ratably each month, thereafter, for the remaining four years. Recurring option grants vest ratably each month over a five-year period. One year option grants vest ratably each month over a one year period. The contract term of the options is ten years. For all option grants prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, the Company recognizes compensation cost using the multiple option approach. For all option grants subsequent to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, the Company recognizes compensation cost ratably (straight-line) over the service period.
The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation model and the assumptions noted in the following table. The expected life of options is based on observed historical exercise patterns. The expected volatility is an equally weighted blend of implied volatilities from traded options on our stock having a life of more than one year and historical volatility over the expected life of the options. The risk free interest rate is based on the implied yield on a U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issue with a remaining term equal to the expected term of the option. The dividend yield reflects that we have not paid any dividends and have no intention to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.

The weighted-average grant date fair value of stock options granted during the three and six months ended March 31, 2007, was $1.99 and $2.00, respectively. The weighted-average grant date fair value of stock options granted during the three and six months ended April 1, 2006 (restated) was $2.41 and $2.23, respectively. There were no stock options exercised during the three and six months ended March 31, 2007. The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the three and six months ended April 1, 2006 (restated) was $222,000 and $2.6 million, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value in the preceding table represents the total pretax intrinsic value of in-the-money options based on the Companys closing stock price of $3.62 as of March 31, 2007, which would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options as of that date. The total number of in-the-money options exercisable as of March 31, 2007 was 289,949 and the weighted average exercise price was $2.49.
At March 31, 2007, an aggregate of 70.2 million shares were authorized for future issuance under our stock plans, which covers stock options, employee stock purchase plans, and restricted stock awards. A total of 7.9 million shares of common stock were available for grant under our stock option plans as of March 31, 2007. Awards that expire or are cancelled without delivery of shares generally become available for issuance under the plans.
As of March 31, 2007, there was $27.3 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to stock options. These costs are expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 4.36 years.
On December 31, 2006, the Company adjusted the exercise price of option grants held by Section 16 officers to equal the fair market value at the measurement date of the original grant. This was done to avoid negative tax consequences under IRC Section 409A. There were eleven directors and Section 16 officers who elected to take advantage of this remediation and the exercise price of 998,146 shares was adjusted. There was no incremental compensation cost resulting from the modification. The weighted average exercise price of the shares before the modification was approximately $9.76. The weighted average exercise price after the modification was approximately $12.41.
8
On March 19, 2007, the Company commenced a tender offer to exchange certain options to purchase shares of its common stock, whether vested or unvested, for new options that will be granted under its 1999 Stock Plan. The exchange ratio for this offer will range from one (1) to three (3) exchanged options for every one (1) new option granted. This tender offer will expire on May 15, 2007 unless extended and is subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer to Exchange Certain Outstanding Options for New Options, dated March 19, 2007, which was filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on March 19, 2007. If all eligible options are exchanged, then 23,041,735 existing options will be cancelled and 19,137,035 new options will be granted. The purpose of this exchange is to mitigate the exposure with respect to Internal Revenue Code Section 409A. For more information, refer to our Tender Offer Statement filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 13, 2007 and April 30, 2007.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
In fiscal 2003, the Board of Directors and stockholders of the Company approved the 2003 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the 2003 ESPP). The maximum number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2003 ESPP is nine million shares. On February 27, 2006 an additional six million shares were reserved under the 2003 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Under the 2003 ESPP, employees may purchase, on a periodic basis, a limited number of shares of common stock through payroll deductions over a six-month period. The per share purchase price is 85% of the fair market value of the stock at the beginning or end of the offering period, whichever is lower.
The Company has treated the Employee Stock Purchase Plan as a compensatory plan and have recorded compensation expense of approximately $600,000 and $1.9 million for the three and six months ended April 1, 2006 (restated), respectively, in accordance with SFAS No. 123R. As a result of the stock option investigation, which has recently been concluded, the Company suspended the ESPP. The Company plans to re-activate the ESPP in the future. The Company did not record compensation expense for ESPP during the three and six months ended March 31, 2007.

Performance Restricted Share Plan
During the three months ended April 1, 2006, the Companys Compensation Committee approved the issuance of approximately 2.5 million performance restricted units at a weighted-average grant date fair value of $4.02 per unit to selected executives and other key employees. The units are automatically exchanged for vested shares when certain performance targets are met.
10
The Company did not record any compensation expense related to the performance restricted shares for the three and six months ended March 31, 2007 as the Company did not meet the prescribed performance levels. The total unrecognized compensation expense to be recognized over the remaining two years would be approximately $7.5 million, assuming the performance targets are achieved.
The Company did not record any compensation expense related to the performance restricted shares during fiscal 2006 as the prescribed performance level was not met. This resulted in the forfeiture of approximately 597,375 performance restricted units.
Note 3. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Company enters into short-term foreign currency forward contracts to hedge currency exposures associated with certain assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. These contracts typically have maturities of three months or less. Further, these contracts are not designated as part of a hedging relationship in accordance with SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS No. 133). At March 31, 2007 and September 30, 2006, the Company had open forward contracts to exchange various foreign currencies for U.S. dollars in the aggregate notional amount of $263.9 million and $403.4 million, respectively. The net unrealized loss on the contracts at March 31, 2007 was not material and was recorded in accrued liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Realized gains and losses on forward exchange contracts are recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations in other income (expense), net. The net impact of these foreign exchange contracts was not material to the results of operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2007 and April 1, 2006.
The Company also utilized foreign currency forward and option contracts to hedge certain forecasted foreign currency sales and cost of sales referred to as cash flow hedges which qualify for hedge accounting under SFAS No. 133. These contracts typically are less than 12 months. Gains and losses on these contracts related to the effective portion of the hedges are recorded in other comprehensive income until the forecasted transactions impact earnings. When the contracts expire, any amounts recorded in other comprehensive income are reclassified to earnings. Gains and losses related to the ineffective portion of the hedges are immediately recognized on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. At March 31, 2007 and September 30, 2006, the Company had forward and option contracts related to cash flow hedges in various foreign currencies in the aggregate notional amount of $49.5 million and $10.1 million, respectively. The net unrealized gain on the contracts at March 31, 2007 was not material and was recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The net impact of the foreign currency forward and option contracts was not material to the results of operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2007 and April 1, 2006.
The Company entered into interest rate swaps in February 2005 to hedge its mix of short-term and long-term interest rate exposures. The aggregate notional amount of the combined swap transactions is $400.0 million. At March 31, 2007 and September 30, 2006, $14.1 million and $17.1 million, respectively, have been recorded in other long-term liabilities to record the fair value of the interest rate swap transactions, with a corresponding decrease to the carrying value of the 6.75% Notes on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Companys foreign exchange forward and option contracts and interest rate swaps expose the Company to credit risk to the extent that the counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of the agreement. The Company minimizes such risk by limiting the Companys counterparties to major financial institutions. The Company does not expect material losses as a result of default by counterparties.

Note 7. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share includes dilutive common stock equivalents, using the treasury stock method, and assumes that the convertible debt instruments were converted into common stock upon issuance, if dilutive. While the conceptual computation of earnings per share is not changed by SFAS No. 123R (Share-Based Payment), the inclusion of compensation cost will affect the mechanics of the calculation. The compensation cost will be recognized under SFAS No. 123R only for awards that are expected to vest (determined by applying the pre-vesting forfeiture rate assumption), while all options or shares outstanding that have not been forfeited would be included in diluted earnings per share. The amount of stock-based compensation cost in the numerator includes a forfeiture rate assumption while the number of shares in the denominator does not.
The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted income (loss) per share:

After-tax interest expense of $5.0 million related to the 3% Convertible Subordinated Notes and $5.4 million related to the 3% Convertible Subordinated Notes and Zero Coupon Convertible Subordinated Debentures for the six months ended March 31, 2007 and April 1, 2006, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted income per share because to do so would be anti-dilutive.
Note 8. Debt
Senior Unsecured Term Loan. On October 13, 2006, the Company entered into a Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the Term Loan Agreement) providing for a $600.0 million senior unsecured term loan which matures on January 31, 2008. The Company drew down the $600.0 million term loan simultaneously with the closing of the transaction.
The loan bears interest at the election of the Company at either the prime rate plus 1.5% or at an adjusted LIBOR rate plus 2.5%. On the 181st day after closing, the interest rate margins with respect to all loans will increase by 0.5% for the remaining life of the loans. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears with respect to prime rate loans. For LIBOR rate loans, interest is payable at the end of each interest period depending on the Companys election of the length of borrowing period (i.e. one month, three months or six months). Principal, together with accrued and unpaid interest, is due at maturity. In addition, the Company is required to make mandatory prepayments of principal with the net cash proceeds from the sale of certain assets and the incurrence of certain debt.
All of the Companys existing and future domestic subsidiaries will guaranty the obligations under the Term Loan Agreement, subject to some limited exceptions.
The Term Loan Agreement contains affirmative covenants, including covenants regarding the payment of taxes and other obligations, maintenance of insurance, certain reporting requirements in accordance with the agreement and compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Further, the Term Loan Agreement contains negative covenants limiting the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries, among other things, to incur debt, grant liens and make certain restricted payments. The events of default under the Term Loan Agreement include payment defaults, cross defaults with certain other indebtedness, breaches of covenants and bankruptcy events.
As of March 31, 2007 and September 30, 2006, the Company had no other term loans.
8.125% Senior Subordinated Notes. On February 15, 2006, the Company issued $600 million aggregate principal amount of 8.125% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2016 (the 8.125% Notes). Interest is payable on the 8.125% Notes on March 1 and September 1 of each year beginning on September 1, 2006. The maturity date of the 8.125% Notes is March 1, 2016. Debt issuance costs are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets and other non-current assets and amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the debt as interest expense. As of March 31, 2007, $1.9 million is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets and $15.3 million is included in other non-current assets. The difference between the amount of amortization calculated using the straight-line method as compared to the effective interest method was immaterial. The 8.125% Notes are unsecured and subordinated in right of payment to all of the Companys existing and future senior debt, as defined in the indenture under which the 8.125% Notes were issued.
14
The Company may redeem the 8.125% Notes, in whole or in part, at any time prior to March 1, 2011, at a redemption price that is equal to the sum of (1) the principal amount of the 8.125% Notes to be redeemed, (2) accrued and unpaid interest on those 8.125% Notes to, but excluding, the redemption date and (3) a make-whole premium calculated in the manner specified in the Indenture for the 8.125% Notes. The Company may redeem the 8.125% Notes, in whole or in part, beginning on March 1, 2011, at declining redemption prices ranging from 104.063% to 100% of the principal amount of the 8.125% Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date, with the actual redemption price to be determined based on the date of redemption. At any time prior to March 1, 2009, the Company may redeem up to 35% of the 8.125% Notes with the proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 108.125% of the principal amount of the 8.125% Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date, so long as after giving effect to any such redemption, at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the 8.125% Notes remains outstanding.
Following a change of control, as defined in the Indenture, the Company will be required to make an offer to repurchase all or any portion of the 8.125% Notes at a purchase price of 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of repurchase.
The 8.125% Notes Indenture includes covenants that limit the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to, among other things: incur additional debt, make investments and other restricted payments, pay dividends on capital stock, or redeem or repurchase capital stock or subordinated obligations; create specified liens; sell assets; create or permit restrictions on the ability of the Companys restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other distributions to the Company; engage in transactions with affiliates; incur layered debt; and consolidate or merge with or into other companies or sell all or substantially all of the Companys assets. The restrictive covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications set forth in the Indenture for the 8.125% Notes.
The 8.125% Notes Indenture provides for customary events of default, including:
· payment defaults;
· breaches of covenants;
· certain payment defaults at final maturity or acceleration of certain other indebtedness;
· failure to pay certain judgments;
· certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization; and
· certain instances in which a guarantee ceases to be in full force and effect.
If any event of default occurs and is continuing, subject to certain exceptions, the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding 8.125% Notes may declare all the 8.125% Notes to be due and payable immediately, together with any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the acceleration date. In the case of an event of default resulting from certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, such amounts with respect to the 8.125% Notes will be due and payable immediately without any declaration or other act on the part of the trustee or the holders of the 8.125% Notes.
On January 3, 2007, the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee, entered into a supplemental indenture to the indenture under which the Companys 8.125% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2016 were issued. As permitted by the indenture, the supplemental indenture released each of the notes guarantors from its respective obligations under its notes guarantee and the indenture.
6.75% Senior Subordinated Notes. On February 24, 2005, the Company issued $400 million aggregate principal amount of its 6.75% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013 (the 6.75% Notes). Interest is payable on the 6.75% Notes on March 1 and September 1 of each year, beginning on September 1, 2005. The maturity date of the 6.75% Notes is March 1, 2013. In June 2005, the Company completed an exchange offer pursuant to which substantially all of the 6.75% Notes were exchanged for notes registered under the Securities Act of 1933. These notes evidence the same debt as the original 6.75% Notes and are issued and entitled to the benefits of the same indenture that governs the original the 6.75% Notes except that they are not subject to transfer restrictions.
The 6.75% Notes are unsecured and subordinated in right of payment to all of the Companys existing and future senior debt as defined in the 6.75% Notes Indenture. The Company may redeem the 6.75% Notes, in whole or in part, at any time prior to March 1, 2009, at a redemption price that is equal to the sum of (1) the principal amount of the 6.75% Notes to be redeemed, (2) accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date on those 6.75% Notes and (3) a make-whole premium calculated in the manner specified in the 6.75% Notes Indenture. The Company may redeem the 6.75% Notes, in whole or in part, beginning on March 1, 2009, at declining redemption prices ranging from 103.375% to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date, with the actual redemption price to be determined based on the date of redemption. At any time prior to March 1, 2008, the Company may redeem up to 35% of the 6.75% Notes with the proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 106.75% of the principal amount of the 6.75% Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date, so long as after giving effect to any such redemption, at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the 6.75% Notes remains outstanding.
15
Following a change of control, as defined in the 6.75% Notes Indenture, the Company will be required to make an offer to repurchase all or any portion of the 6.75% Notes at a purchase price of 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of repurchase.
The 6.75% Notes Indenture includes covenants that limit the Companys ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to, among other things: incur additional debt, make investments and other restricted payments, pay dividends on capital stock, or redeem or repurchase capital stock or subordinated obligations; create specified liens; sell assets; create or permit restrictions on the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other distributions to the Company; engage in transactions with affiliates; incur layered debt; and consolidate or merge with or into other companies or sell all or substantially all of its assets. The restricted covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications set forth in the 6.75% Notes Indenture.
The 6.75% Notes Indenture provides for customary events of default, including payment defaults, breaches of covenants, certain payment defaults at final maturity or acceleration of certain other indebtedness, failure to pay certain judgments, certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization and certain instances in which a guarantee ceases to be in full force and effect. If any event of default occurs and is continuing, subject to certain exceptions, the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding 6.75% Notes may declare all the 6.75% Notes to be due and payable immediately, together with any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the acceleration date. In the case of an event of default resulting from certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, such amounts with respect to the 6.75% Notes will be due and payable immediately without any declaration or other act on the part of the trustee or the holders of the 6.75% Notes.
On January 3, 2007, the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee, entered into a supplemental indenture to the indenture under which the Companys 6.75% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013 were issued. As permitted by the indenture, the supplemental indenture released each of the notes guarantors from its respective obligations under its notes guarantee and the indenture.
3% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2007. In March 2000, SCI issued $575.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3% Convertible Subordinated Notes due March 15, 2007, or 3% Notes. On October 13, 2006, SCI Systems, Inc., one of the Companys wholly-owned subsidiaries (SCI Systems), initiated, in accordance with the terms thereof, the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture, dated as of March 15, 2000, by and between SCI Systems and the Bank of New York Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (as supplemented, the Indenture), pursuant to which SCI Systems issued its 3% Notes due 2007. As a result, $532.9 million in cash was deposited with the trustee which represented a portion of the proceeds obtained from the Senior Unsecured Term Loan entered into on October 13, 2006 and is equal to the principal and interest due on the 3% Notes at maturity on March 15, 2007. The $532.9 million was recorded as restricted cash and classified in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as a current asset as of December 30, 2006. The restricted cash of $532.9 million was released by the trustee to pay the bondholders upon maturity of the 3% Notes on March 15, 2007. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2007, the 3% Notes were fully satisfied and discharged.
Senior Credit Facility. On October 26, 2004, the Company entered into a Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the Original Credit Agreement) providing for a $500 million senior secured revolving credit facility with a $150 million letter of credit sub-limit. The senior secured credit facility provided for a maturity date of October 26, 2007. The Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement, dated as of December 16, 2005, among the Company, certain of its subsidiaries, as guarantors, and the lenders that are parties thereto from time to time (the Restated Credit Agreement). The Restated Credit Agreement amended and restated the Original Credit Agreement among other things, to:
· extend the maturity date from October 26, 2007 to December 16, 2008;
· amend the leverage ratio;
· permit the Company and the guarantors to sell domestic receivables pursuant to factoring or similar arrangements if certain conditions are met; and
· revise the collateral release provisions.
16
All of the Companys existing and future domestic subsidiaries guaranty the obligations under the Restated Credit Agreement, subject to some limited exceptions. The Companys obligations and the obligations of its subsidiaries under the credit facility are secured by: substantially all of its assets; substantially all of the assets of substantially all of its United States subsidiaries located in the United States; a pledge of all capital stock of substantially all of its United States subsidiaries; a pledge of 65% of the capital stock of certain of its and its United States subsidiaries first-tier foreign subsidiaries; and mortgages on certain domestic real estate.
The Restated Credit Agreement requires the Company to comply with a fixed charge coverage ratio and a ratio of total debt to earnings before income tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA). Additionally, the credit facility contains numerous affirmative covenants, including covenants regarding the payment of taxes and other obligations, maintenance of insurance, reporting requirements and compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Further, the credit facility contains negative covenants limiting the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries, among other things, to incur debt, grant liens, make acquisitions, make certain restricted payments, sell assets and enter into sale and lease back transactions. The events of default under the credit facility include payment defaults, cross defaults with certain other indebtedness, breaches of covenants and bankruptcy events.
At any time the aggregate face amount of receivables sold by the Company and the guarantors together with any outstanding amounts exceeds the thresholds set forth in the Restated Credit Agreement, the revolving credit commitments for purposes of making loans and issuing letters of credit will be zero.
On October 13, 2006, the Company and the required lenders entered into an amendment for its Restated Credit Agreement to permit the Company to enter into the Senior Unsecured Term Loan described above. The amendment also revised the collateral release provision under the Restated Credit Agreement such that collateral (other than stock pledges and other collateral the Company requests not to be released) will be released at such time as specified conditions are met, including that the Company has repaid in full the outstanding amount under the Senior Unsecured Term Loan and its credit ratings meets specified thresholds. If following the release of any portion of the collateral pursuant to the provisions of the credit agreement described above, the Companys credit ratings fall below specified thresholds, then the Company is required to take such actions as are necessary to grant and perfect a security interest in the assets and properties that would at that time comprise the collateral if the relevant collateral documents were still in effect. On December 29, 2006, the Company entered into an amendment and waiver to the Restated Credit Agreement. Among other things, this amendment amended the minimum required levels for both financial covenants and certain related definitions. The fees in regards to the amendment and waiver were deferred and amortized over the debt period. The amount of the fees was immaterial to the consolidated financial statements.
There was approximately $100 million of loans outstanding under the Restated Credit Agreement at an average interest rate of 7.58% as of March 31, 2007. Additionally, the Company pays a commitment fee of 0.35% on the unused portion of the credit facility.
The Company is in compliance with its covenants for the above debt instruments as of March 31, 2007. However, the Company may be required to seek waivers or amendments to certain covenants for the above debt instruments if it is unable to comply with the requirements of the covenants in the future or if the Company takes actions such as the divestiture of strategic assets that are not permitted by the covenants.
Note 9. Sale of Accounts Receivable
Certain of the Companys subsidiaries have entered into agreements that permit them to sell specified accounts receivable. The purchase price for receivables sold under these agreements ranges from 95% to 100% of the face amount less a discount charge (based on LIBOR plus a percentage ranging from 0.4% to 1.5%) for the period from the date the receivable is sold to its collection date. Accounts receivable sales under these agreements were $498.5 million and $976.9 million for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2007, respectively. The sold receivables are subject to certain limited recourse provisions. In accordance with SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liability, accounts receivable sold are removed from the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and are reflected as cash provided by operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. As of March 31, 2007, $320.5 million of sold accounts receivable remain subject to certain recourse provisions. The Company has not experienced any credit losses under these recourse provisions. The discount charge recorded during the period was not material to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The discount charge is recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.
17
As part of the sale of accounts receivable, the Company had a retained ownership interest (i.e. 100% of the receivable face amount less the purchase price) of $10.3 million at March 31, 2007. The retained interest was included in prepaid and other current assets. The retained interest has subsequently been collected.
Note 10. Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation and other contingencies. The Company is a so-called nominal defendant party in multiple shareholder derivative lawsuits, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Department of Labor are conducting informal inquiries. The Company has received a subpoena from the U.S. Attorneys office and the Company has received an information document request from the Internal Revenue Service in connection with certain historical stock option grants. Presently, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of these matters. The resolution of these litigations and investigations could adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations.
From time to time, the Company is a party to litigation and other contingencies, including examinations by taxing authorities, which arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company believes that the resolution of such litigation and other contingencies will not materially harm its business, financial condition or results of operations.

Note 11. Restructuring Costs
Costs associated with restructuring activities initiated on or after January 1, 2003, other than those activities related to purchase business combinations, are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 146 and SFAS No. 112 where applicable. Pursuant to SFAS No. 112, restructuring costs related to employee severance are recorded when probable and estimable. For all other restructuring costs, a liability is recognized in accordance with SFAS No. 146 only when incurred. Costs associated with restructuring activities initiated prior to January 1, 2003, other than those activities related to purchase business combinations, are accounted for in accordance with EITF 94-3 and SFAS No. 112 where applicable. Accordingly, costs associated with such plans are recorded as restructuring costs in the Consolidated Statements of Operations generally at the commitment date. Costs associated with restructuring activities related to purchase business combinations are accounted for in accordance with EITF 95-3. Accrued restructuring costs are included in accrued liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
In November 2006, the Company announced three new restructuring initiatives:
· The realignment of its original design manufacturing activities to focus on joint development;
· The separation of its personal and business computing business and the evaluation of strategic alternatives to enhance its value: and
· Other consolidation and facility closure actions.

The cumulative restructuring costs per segment have not been disclosed as it is impractical to do so. The recognition of restructuring charges requires the Companys management to make judgments and estimates regarding the nature, timing, and amount of costs associated with the planned exit activity, including estimating sublease income and the fair value, less selling costs, of property, plant and equipment to be disposed of. Managements estimates of future liabilities may change, requiring us to record additional restructuring charges or reduce the amount of liabilities already recorded.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These statements relate to our expectations for future events and time periods. All statements other than statements of historical fact are statements that could be deemed to be forward-looking statements, including any statements regarding trends in future revenues or results of operations, gross margin or operating margin, expenses, earnings or losses from operations, synergies or other financial items; any statements of the plans, strategies and objectives of management for future operations; any statements concerning developments, performance or industry ranking; any statements regarding future economic conditions or performance; any statements regarding pending investigations, claims or disputes; any statements of expectation or belief; and any statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. Generally, the words anticipate, believe, plan, expect, future, intend, may, will, should, estimate, predict, potential, continue and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, forecasts and assumptions and are subject to risks, uncertainties and changes in condition, significance, value and effect. We undertake no obligation to publicly disclose any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring subsequent to filing this report with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Overview
We are a leading independent global provider of customized, integrated electronics manufacturing services, or EMS. Our revenue is generated from sales of our services primarily to original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, in the communications, personal and business computing, enterprise computing and storage, multimedia, industrial and semiconductor capital equipment, defense and aerospace, medical and automotive industries.
A relatively small number of customers historically have been responsible for a significant portion of our net sales. Sales to our ten largest customers accounted for 62.5% and 61.8% of our net sales for the three and six months ended March 31, 2007, respectively. Three customers accounted for 10% or more of our net sales during both the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2007. Sales to our ten largest customers accounted for 60.9% and 62.5% of our net sales for the three and six months ended April 1, 2006, respectively, and two customers accounted for 10% or more of our net sales during those periods.
In recent periods, we have generated a significant portion of our net sales from international operations. During the six month periods ended March 31, 2007 and April 1, 2006, 75.3% and 74.4%, respectively, of our consolidated net sales were derived from non-U.S. operations. Consolidated net sales from international operations during the three month periods ended March 31, 2007 and April 1, 2006 represented 76.0% and 74.0%, respectively. The concentration of international operations has resulted from overseas acquisitions and a desire on the part of many of our customers to move production to lower cost locations in regions such as Asia, Latin America and Eastern Europe. We expect this trend to continue.
Historically, we have had substantial recurring sales from existing customers. We have also expanded our customer base through acquisitions. We typically enter into supply agreements with our major OEM customers. These agreements generally have terms ranging from three to five years and cover the manufacture of a range of products. Under these agreements, a customer typically agrees to purchase its requirements for particular products in particular geographic areas from us. These agreements generally do not obligate the customer to purchase minimum quantities of products. In some circumstances our supply agreements with customers provide for cost reduction objectives during the term of the agreement.
We have experienced fluctuations in gross margins and in our results of operations in the past and may continue to in the future. Fluctuations in our gross margins may be caused by a number of factors, including pricing, changes in product mix, competitive pressures, transition of manufacturing to lower cost locations and overall business levels.
On November 16, 2006, we announced three restructuring actions:
· The realignment of our original design manufacturing activities to focus on joint development;
· The separation of our personal and business computing business and the evaluation of strategic alternatives to enhance its value; and
22
· Other consolidation and facility closure actions.
Our expectation is that these initiatives will be concluded no later than the calendar year.
On March 19, 2007, we commenced a tender offer to exchange certain options to purchase shares of our common stock, whether vested or unvested, for new options that will be granted under our 1999 Stock Plan. The exchange ratio for this offer will range from one (1) to three (3) exchanged options for every one (1) new option granted. This tender offer will expire on May 15, 2007 unless extended and is subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer to Exchange Certain Outstanding Options for New Options, dated March 19, 2007, which was filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on March 19, 2007. If all eligible options are exchanged, then 23,041,735 existing options will be cancelled and 19,137,035 new options will be granted. The purpose of this exchange is to mitigate the exposure with respect to Internal Revenue Code Section 409A. For more information, refer to our Tender Offer Statement filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 13, 2007 and April 30, 2007.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Managements discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. We review the accounting policies used in reporting our financial results on a regular basis. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, net sales and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate the process used to develop estimates for certain reserves and contingent liabilities, including those related to product returns, accounts receivable, inventories, investments, intangible assets, income taxes, warranty obligations, restructuring, contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Our actual results may differ from these estimates.
For a complete description of our key critical accounting policies and estimates, refer to our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 3, 2007.
Summary Results of Operations
The following table sets forth, for the three and six months ended March 31, 2007 and April 1, 2006, certain items in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations expressed as a percentage of net sales. The table and the discussion below should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, which appear elsewhere in this report.

Results of Operations
Net Sales
Net sales for the three month period ended March 31, 2007 decreased by 2.1% to $2.6 billion from $2.7 billion in the three month period ended April 1, 2006. Net sales decreased by 2.5% to $5.4 billion for the six months ended March 31, 2007, from $5.5 billion for the six months ended April 1, 2006. The decrease in sales for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was primarily due to decreased demand of approximately $97 million from our customers in the communications end-market and $77 million from the high-end computing end market partially offset by increases of $51 million from our personal computing end market, $31 million from our medical end market, and $16 million from our industrial instruments business. The decline in revenue for the six months ended March 31, 2007 was primarily due to decreased demand of approximately $139 million from our customers in the communications end-market and $131 million from our high-end computing end market partially offset by increases of $55 million from our medical end market, $49 million from our industrial instruments business and $48 million from our consumer product businesses.
Gross Margin
Gross margin decreased from 6.2% in the second quarter of fiscal 2006 to 5.3% in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 and decreased from 6.0% for the six months ended April 1, 2006 to 5.7% for the six months ended March 31, 2007. The decrease in gross margins for the three and six months ended March 31, 2007 was primarily attributable to unfavorable product mix as a result of weak demand in our communications and high end computing end-markets that
25
significantly impacted sales in our printed circuit board fabrication and new product introduction and high volume EMS operations. Lower demand in these higher margin businesses had a larger than proportional impact on our profitability. We expect gross margins to continue to fluctuate based on overall production and shipment volumes as well as changes in the mix of products demanded by our major customers.
Fluctuations in our gross margins may be caused by a number of factors, including:
· Greater competition in the EMS and pricing pressures from OEMs due to the greater cost reduction focus of global OEMs;
· Changes in the overall volume of our business;
· Changes in the mix of high and low margin products demanded by our customers;
· Changes in customer demand and sales volumes, including demand for our vertically integrated key system components and subassemblies;
· Charges or write offs of excess and obsolete inventory that we are not able to charge back to a customer or sales of inventories previously written down;
· Pricing pressure on electronic components resulting from economic conditions in the electronics industry, with EMS companies competing more aggressively on cost to obtain new or maintain existing business; and
· Our ability to transition manufacturing and assembly operations to lower cost regions in an efficient manner.
We have experienced fluctuations in gross margin in the past and may continue to do so in the future.
Operating Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $6.4 million to $93.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 from $87.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2006. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased as a percentage of net sales to 3.6% in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 from 3.3% in the second quarter of fiscal 2006. For the six months ended March 31, 2007, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $189.8 million from $177.2 million for the six months ended April 1, 2006. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased as a percentage of net sales from 3.2% for the first six months of fiscal 2006 to 3.5% for the first six months of fiscal 2007. The dollar increase in selling, general and administrative expenses in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2006 was primarily attributable to an increase in stock based compensation expenses of $3.3 million and additional expenses we incurred in connection with our investigation of stock option administration policies and procedures of $1.2 million. The dollar increase in selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the six months ended April 1, 2006 was primarily attributable to expenses we incurred in connection with our investigation of stock option administration policies and procedures of $5.5 million, increased selling and marketing expenses of $3.0 million, an increase in administration fees of $2.5 million related to an increase in the amount of accounts receivable sold during the first six months of fiscal 2007, an increase in the bad debt provision of $1.5 million, and an increase in stock based compensation expenses of $1.0 million. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the three and six months ended April 1, 2006 in terms of percentage of sales was primarily attributable to increased expenses as noted above and lower net sales for the three and six months ended March 31, 2007.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses decreased by $1.4 million to $9.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 from $10.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2006.

Restructuring costs
We continually evaluate our business and operational structure including the location of our operations. Over the past few years, we have restructured our company in response to or in anticipation of changing business dynamics such as overall demand in the electronics industry as well as the movement of manufacturing operations from high cost regions to lower cost regions. These dynamics continue.
In November 2006, we announced three new restructuring initiatives:
· The realignment of our original design manufacturing activities to focus on joint development;
· The separation of our personal and business computing business and the evaluation of strategic alternatives to enhance our value: and
· Other consolidation and facility closure actions.
Costs associated with restructuring activities initiated on or after January 1, 2003, other than those activities related to purchase business combinations, are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 146 and SFAS No. 112 where applicable. Pursuant to SFAS No. 112, restructuring costs related to employee severance are recorded when probable and estimable. For all other restructuring costs, a liability is recognized in accordance with SFAS No. 146 only when incurred. Costs associated with restructuring activities initiated prior to January 1, 2003, other than those activities related to purchase business combinations, are accounted for in accordance with EITF 94-3 and SFAS No. 112 where applicable. Accordingly, costs associated with such plans are recorded as restructuring costs in the Consolidated Statements of Operations generally at the commitment date. Costs associated with restructuring activities related to purchase business combinations are accounted for in accordance with EITF 95-3. Accrued restructuring costs are included in accrued liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Below is a summary of the activities related to restructuring initiated in the three and six months ended March 31, 2007:
