Accumulated foreign currency translation losses were $336.0

currency translation losses for fiscal year 2001 and for the three months ended
November 30, 2001 primarily resulted from the unrealized losses on dollar-denominated
debt held by certain foreign subsidiaries. Most of Solectron's foreign
currency translation adjustment amounts relate to investments that are permanent
in nature. To the extent that such amounts relate to investments that are permanent in nature,
no adjustment for income taxes is made.  Accumulated unrealized gain (loss) on investments was
($0.1) million at November 30, 2001, and $0.2 million at August 31, 2001.

**SOLECTRON CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

                Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements**

NOTE 1 - Basis of Presentation



The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of November 30, 2001, and the related unaudited
condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the three months ended November 30, 2001 and
2000, and cash flows for the three-months ended November 30, 2001 and 2000, have been prepared on substantially the same basis as the
annual consolidated financial statements. Management believes the financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of
normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position, operating results and cash flows
for the periods presented. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of August 31, 2001 was derived from audited financial
statements, but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles.  These condensed consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended
August 31, 2001, included in the Company's Annual Report to Stockholders.



The Company's first quarter of fiscal 2002 ended November 30, 2001, its first quarter of fiscal 2001 ended
December 1, 2000 and its 2001 fiscal year ended August 31, 2001. For clarity of presentation, the Company has indicated each period
as having ended on the last day of the month.

The calculation for the three months period ended November 30, 2001 did not include the 108.6
million common shares issuable upon conversion of the zero-coupon senior convertible notes or 63.9 million options to purchase common
stock, as the effect would have been antidilutive.



For the three months ended November 30, 2000, options to purchase 8.1 million shares with exercise prices greater
than the average fair market value during the period were not included in the calculation because the effect would have been
antidilutive.



NOTE 4 - Commitments



Solectron leases various facilities under operating lease agreements. The facility leases outstanding on November
30, 2001 expire at various dates through 2004. All such leases require Solectron to pay property taxes, insurance and normal
maintenance costs. Payments of some leases are periodically adjusted based on LIBOR rates. Certain leases for Solectron's facilities
provide Solectron with an option at the end of the lease term to either acquire the property at its original cost or arrange for the
property to be acquired.  In the event Solectron does not purchase the properties or reach an agreement with the lessor to extend the
lease at the end of the respective lease terms, Solectron is contingently liable under a first loss clause for a decline in market
value of such leased facilities up to 85% of the original costs, or approximately $204.0 million in total as of November 30, 2001.
Under such agreements, the Company must also maintain compliance with financial covenants similar to its credit facilities.
We were in compliance with all of such financial covenants as of November 30, 2001. However, if certain of these financial covenants
were measured immediately after the issuance of our 7.25% Adjustable Conversion Rate Equity Security Units, we would not be in compliance with
them. The total amount outstanding under such facilities as of November 30, 2001 was $369 million.  If we do not work out some arrangement
or pre-pay these obligations, the lenders could accelerate our obligations and declare all amounts due thereunder due and payable.
This acceleration, or the fact that we are in default under those agreements could in turn cause cross-defaults with respect to
other indebtedness we have outstanding or have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.



Additionally, Solectron periodically enters into lease arrangements with third-party leasing companies under which
it sells fixed assets and leases them back from the leasing companies. Solectron accounts for these leases as operating leases.



On November 30, 2001, approximately $213 million of Solectron's cash was restricted on a short term basis.



NOTE 5 - Segment Information



The Company operates as three strategic business units - global operations, technology solutions and global
services. Each business unit has its own president and support staff.  Solectron's management uses an internal management reporting
system, which provides important financial data to evaluate performance and allocate resources for the three business units. Certain
corporate expenses were allocated to these operating segments and were included for performance evaluation.  Some amortization
expenses were also allocated to these business units, but the related intangible assets were not allocated.  The accounting policies
for the segments were the same as for Solectron taken as a whole.



Segment information by business units and geography for the three months periods ended November 30, 2001 and 2000,
was as follows:

NOTE 6 - Zero-Coupon Convertible Senior Notes

During the first quarter of the fiscal year 2002, Solectron repurchased a portion of its 4.0% Liquid Yield
Option Notes (Zero Coupon-Senior) due 2019 (the Notes) with a carrying amount of approximately $218 million for approximately $222
million, resulting in an extraordinary loss of $2 million, net of tax. Solectron intends to repurchase the remaining Notes for cash in
January 2002. As of November 30, 2001, approximately $615 million has been classified as a current liability to satisfy this
obligation.

NOTE 7 - Stockholders' Equity

On September 17, 2001, Solectron's board of directors authorized a $200 million stock repurchase program.
During the first fiscal quarter of 2002, Solectron repurchased 442,200 shares of its common stock at an average price of $10.10 for
approximately $4.5 million.



NOTE 8 - Accounting Pronouncements



In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations, and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets. SFAS No. 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated or completed
after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 141 also specifies the criteria intangible assets acquired in a purchase method business combination
must meet to be recognized and reported apart from goodwill. SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill and intangible assets with
indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions
of SFAS No. 142. SFAS No. 142 also requires that intangible assets with definite useful lives be amortized over their respective
estimated lives to their estimated residual values, and be reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 121, Accounting for
the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of. Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in business
combinations completed before July 1, 2001 were amortized prior to adoption of SFAS No. 142.



In accordance with SFAS No. 141, the Company is accounting for all business combinations initiated or completed
after June 30, 2001 using the purchase method of accounting.  The Company adopted the remaining provisions of SFAS No. 141 and SFAS
No. 142 effective September 1, 2001.



SFAS No. 141 requires, upon adoption of SFAS No. 142, that Solectron evaluates its existing intangibles assets and
goodwill that were acquired in prior purchase business combinations, and to make any necessary reclassifications in order to conform
with the new criteria in SFAS No. 141 for recognition apart from goodwill. Upon adoption of SFAS No. 142, Solectron reassessed the
useful lives and residual values of all intangible assets acquired in purchase business combinations and no significant changes were deemed
necessary.  Solectron is also required to test the intangible assets for impairment in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142
within the first interim period. No impairment loss as of the date of adoption was deemed necessary.



In connection with the transitional goodwill impairment evaluation, SFAS No. 142 requires
Solectron to perform an assessment of whether there is an indication that goodwill is impaired as of the date of adoption. To
accomplish this, Solectron must identify its reporting units and determine the carrying value of each reporting unit by assigning the
assets and liabilities, including the existing goodwill and intangible assets, to those reporting units as of the date of adoption.
Solecton then has up to the end of second fiscal quarter of 2002 from the date of adoption to determine the fair value of each reporting unit and compare it
to the reporting unit's carrying value. To the extent a reporting unit's carrying amount exceeds its fair value, an indication exists that the
reporting unit's goodwill may be impaired and Solectron must perform the second step of the transitional impairment test. In the second step,
Solectron must compare the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill, determined by allocating the reporting unit's fair value to
all its assets (recognized and unrecognized) and liabilities in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation in accordance with SFAS No. 141,
to its carrying amount, both of which would be measured as of the date of adoption. This second step is required to be completed as soon as
possible, but no later than the end of the year adoption. Any transitional impairment loss will be recognized as a cumulative effect of a
change in accounting principle in our statement of operations.



The FASB issued SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, in August 2001, and SFAS No.144,
Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets, in October 2001.  SFAS No. 143 requires that the fair value of an
asset retirement obligation be recorded as a liability in the period in which it incurs the obligation.  SFAS No. 144 serves to
clarify and further define the provisions of SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to Be Disposed Of.  SFAS No. 144 does not apply to goodwill and other intangible assets that are not amortized.  SFAS No. 143
is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002 and SFAS No. 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2001.  We expect to adopt both effective September 1, 2002.  The adoption of these statements is not expected to have a material
effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.



NOTE 9 - Acquisitions



On October 16, 2001, the Company completed its acquisition of Iphotonics, Inc. for approximately 8.8 million
shares of Solectron common stock and 428,000 options to purchase Solectron's common stock. The transaction was accounted for under
the purchase method of accounting.



On October 26, 2001, the Company completed its acquisition of Stream International, Inc. for approximately $366.6
million in cash.  The transaction was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.  The following table summarizes purchase
price allocations.

additional information is obtained.



NOTE 10 - Restructuring and Impairment



Beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2001, Solectron initiated a restructuring of company's operations in
light of the current economic downturn.  The measures, which included reducing the workforce, consolidating some facilities and
changing the strategic focus of a number of sites, was largely intended to align its capacity and infrastructure to anticipated
customer demand as well as rationalize its footprint worldwide.



During the second quarter of the fiscal 2001, the Company recorded restructuring costs of $25.3 million related to
the consolidation of certain facilities.  These restructuring costs included fixed asset write-offs of $19.7 million, severance costs
of approximately $3.2 million, and other nonrecurring costs of $2.4 million.



During the third quarter of fiscal 2001, total restructuring and impairment costs of $285.0 million were charged
against earnings.  These restructuring and impairment charges included employee severance and benefit costs of approximately $41.8
million, costs related to leased facilities that will be abandoned and subleased of approximately $44.7 million, costs related to
leased equipment that will be abandoned of approximately $56.2 million, impairment of equipment
of approximately $99.9 million, impairment of facilities of approximately $11.3 million, impairment of goodwill and
intangible assets related to closed facilities of approximately $28.2 million and other exit costs of approximately $2.9 million.

The employee severance and benefit costs related to the elimination of 7,700 positions worldwide.  Approximately
67% of the positions eliminated were in the Americas region, 23% were in Europe and 10% were in Asia/Pacific.  The employment
reductions primarily affected employees in manufacturing and back office support functions.  Facilities and equipment subject to
restructuring were primarily located in the Americas and Europe.  For leased facilities that will be abandoned and subleased, the
lease costs represent future lease payments subsequent to abandonment less estimated sublease income.
All 7,700 employees left the Company under this plan by May 31, 2001.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001, total restructuring and impairment costs of $207.0 million were charged
against earnings.  These restructuring and impairment charges included employee severance and benefit costs of approximately $25.0
million, costs related to leased facilities that will be abandoned and subleased of approximately $11.7 million, costs related to
leased equipment that will be abandoned of approximately $61.3 million, impairment of equipment
of approximately $68.6 million, impairment of facilities of approximately $26.4 million, impairment of goodwill and
intangible assets related to closed facilities of approximately $14.0 million.

The employee severance and benefit costs related to the elimination of 4,100 positions worldwide.  Approximately
67% of the positions eliminated were in the Americas region, 23% were in Europe and 10% were in Asia/Pacific.  The employment
reductions primarily affected employees in manufacturing and back office support functions.  Facilities and equipment subject to
restructuring were primarily located in the Americas and Europe.  For leased facilities that will be abandoned and subleased, the
lease costs represent future lease payments subsequent to abandonment less estimated sublease income.
All 4,100 employees left the Company under this plan by August 31, 2001.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2002, total restructuring and impairment costs of $72.9 million were charged
against earnings.  These restructuring and impairment charges included employee severance and benefit costs of approximately $28.3
million, costs related to leased facilities that will be abandoned and subleased of approximately $1.1
million, costs related to leased equipment that will be abandoned of approximately $1.3 million,
impairment of equipment and other assets of approximately $34.2 million, impairment of facilities of approximately $4.0 million and
other exit costs of approximately $4.0 million.

The employee severance and benefit costs related to the elimination of approximately 2,000 positions worldwide, as
of November 30, 2001, all of them have left the Company under this plan. Approximately 76% of the positions eliminated were in the
Americas region and 24% were in Europe.  The employment reductions primarily affected employees in manufacturing and back office
support functions.  Facilities and equipment subject to restructuring were also primarily located in the Americas and Europe.

For leased facilities that will be abandoned and subleased, the lease costs represent future lease payments subsequent to abandonment
less estimated sublease income.  For facilities and equipment held for disposal, the impairment loss recognized was based on the fair
value less costs to sell with fair value based on estimates of existing market prices for similar assets.

The following table summarizes restructuring activity excluding impairment since the second quarter of fiscal
quarter of 2001:

similar import, constitute forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. In particular, statements
under the sub-heading  "Liquidity and Capital Resources," relating to our future breaches of our facilities and options
of holders of our various liquid yield option notes and statements regarding completion of the revolving credit facility and $500 million
fixed rate unsecured debt offering are forward-looking statements. Such statements are based on current
expectations and are subject to risk, uncertainties and changes in condition, significance, value and effect, including those
discussed under the heading Risk Factors within the section of this report entitled "Item 2". "Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and reports filed by Solectron with the Securities and Exchange

Net Sales

We are organized in three business units including the global operations business unit, the technology
solutions business unit and the global services business unit. Our core business unit, the global operations business unit, provided
90.6% of net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2002 and 90.3% of net sales for the same period in fiscal 2001. Our technology
solutions business unit contributed 4.9% and 8.6%, respectively, of net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2002 and 2001. The
global services business unit contributed 4.5% and 1.1% of net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2002 and 2001, respectively.

Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2002 were $3.2 billion, compared with $5.7 billion in the same period of
fiscal 2001, a decrease of 44.7%. The decrease in sales was primarily attributable to reduction in demand from our customers
worldwide, especially in the personal computer and telecommunications segments.

Global Operations Business Unit

Net sales from our global manufacturing business unit fell to $2.9 billion for the first quarter in
fiscal 2002, compared to $5.1 billion in the same period in fiscal 2001, a decrease of 44.4%. The decrease was principally due to
reduction in customer demand, especially from personal computing and telecommunication customers.

Within the Americas, there are two sub-regions, North America and Latin America. Net sales in North America
decreased to $855.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2002, a decrease of 65.6% from the same period of fiscal 2001.
 The Milpitas, California, Charlotte, North Carolina, and Austin, Texas sites accounted for most of the decline.
Latin America sales decreased 49.7 % to $327.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2002. Our Guadalajara, Mexico site experienced
the largest decline in Latin America. The decreases, both in North and Latin America, were primarily due to continued deterioration
in general economic conditions and project transfers to low cost locations in Asia.

In Europe, net sales decreased 51.6% in the first quarter of fiscal 2002 as compared to the same period in fiscal
2001. The decrease primarily resulted from weaker demand from our customers in Europe. A majority of the decrease occurred at our
sites in France and Ostersund, Sweden.

In Asia, net sales stayed relatively stable in the first quarter of fiscal 2002 as compared to the same period of
fiscal 2001 in spite of continued weakening global demand. Sales remained steady through transfers of business from our Americas
region as well as through our acquisitions of Shinei, NEL sites and two Sony manufacturing plants in Asia.

Technology Solutions Business Unit

Net sales from our technology solutions business unit fell 68.4% to $154.5 million in the first quarter
of fiscal 2002 as compared to the same period of fiscal 2001. The decrease in net sales primarily resulted from lower customer demand
and decreasing average selling prices of memory components.

Global Services Business Unit

Net sales from our global services business unit increased to $141.8 million in the first quarter of
fiscal 2002 from $62.9 million in the same period of fiscal 2001. The increase of 125.4% is due to higher demand for the after-sales
service support provided by this business unit and the recent acquisition of Stream International.

International Sales

Net sales from our international sites, as a percentage of total consolidated net sales, grew to 64.6% in
the first quarter of fiscal 2002 compared to 45.1% in the same period of fiscal 2001. The increase was primarily due to project
transfers from sites in the United States to Asian sites. Our international operations are subject to various risks of doing business abroad. See
"Risk Factors" for additional factors relating to possible fluctuations of our international operating results. While these
dynamic factors have not materially harmed our results of operations, we cannot ensure that there will not be such an impact in the
future.

Major Customers

The following table details major customers and the percentage of net sales attributed to them.

`Three Months Ended
                                           November 30,
                                       --------------------
                                          2001        2000
                                       ---------  ---------
Ericsson ............................         *       14.8%
Cisco................................      11.1%      12.7%
Nortel ..............................      13.7%      12.3%`

* Less than 10% of net sales.

Our top 10 customers accounted for approximately 69.6% and 77.8%, respectively, of consolidated net sales in the first quarters of
fiscal 2002 and 2001. We depend on continued revenues from Ericsson, Cisco and Nortel as well as our other top 10 customers. We
cannot guarantee that these or any other customers will not increase or decrease as a percentage of consolidated net sales either
individually or as a group. Consequently, any material decrease in sales to these or other customers could materially harm
Solectron's results of operations.

We believe that our ability to grow depends on increasing sales to existing customers for their current and future
products and on successfully attracting new customers. Customer contracts can be canceled and volume levels can be changed or
delayed. The timely replacement of delayed, canceled or reduced orders with new business cannot be ensured.  In addition, we cannot
ensure that any of our current customers will continue to utilize our services. Because of these factors, we cannot ensure that our
historical revenue growth rate will continue.

Gross Profit

The gross margin decreased to 6.4% for the first quarter of fiscal 2002, compared with 8.5% for the same
period of fiscal 2001. Our gross margin was affected by inefficiencies associated with reduced workload and restructuring activities.
We continue to shift capacity to low-cost locations and programs are being transferred at an accelerated pace. Those transfer costs
are accounted for as operational costs versus restructuring costs and consequently, they affected our margins. We have begun seeing
the benefits of the restructuring activities on our margins. Gross margins improved from 5.8% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001 to
6.4% for first quarter fiscal 2002.

For our global operations business unit, we anticipate a larger percentage of our sales may be derived from
systems-build projects that generally yield lower profit margins than PCB assembly. We expect most of our technology solutions sales
may continue to be derived from turn-key projects, which typically yield lower profit margins than consignment projects. In addition,
factors affecting technology solutions profit margins include the sales mix of specialty memory modules, standard memory modules,
communication card products and embedded computer modules, as well as changes in average memory densities used in memory products.

In the foreseeable future, our overall gross margin will depend on several factors, including but not limited to,
product mix, production efficiencies, utilization of manufacturing capacity, start-up and integration costs of new and acquired
businesses, percentage of sales derived from systems-build and turn-key projects, pricing within the electronics industry, component
costs and delivery linearity, and the cost structure at individual sites. Over time, gross margins at the individual sites and for
Solectron as a whole may continue to fluctuate.

In past years, we have experienced component shortages. While component availability fluctuates from time to time
and is subject to lead-time and other constraints, this could possibly have a negative impact on our sales and gross margins for the
foreseeable future. Therefore, we cannot assure you that our gross margin will not fluctuate or decrease in future periods.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

In absolute dollars, selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses decreased 13.7% for the
first quarter of fiscal 2002 over the same period of fiscal 2001. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses were 5.2% and 3.3%,
respectively, for the first quarter in fiscal 2002 and 2001. The decrease in absolute dollars for the first quarter of fiscal 2002
primarily resulted from a reduction in overall headcount due to restructuring. The increase as a percentage of net sales resulted
from a decrease in net sales as a major portion of these expenses are fixed. SG&A expenses may increase in terms of absolute
dollars in the future, as we continue to invest in infrastructure necessary to support our current and prospective business.

Research and Development Expenses

With the exception of our technology solutions unit, our research and development (R&D) activities
have been primarily developing prototype and engineering design capabilities, developing common tools for electrical, mechanical
design, standardizing a single functional test platform, developing methods for handling, processing and re-flow of high I/O ball
grid array, high reliability environmental stress technology and the implementation of environmentally friendly assembly processes
such as lead free and no-clean. Technology solutions' R&D efforts are concentrated on new product development and improvement of
product designs through improvements in functionality and the use of microprocessors in embedded applications.

In absolute dollars, R&D expenses decreased 30.6% in the first quarter of fiscal 2002 over the same period of
fiscal 2001. As a percentage of net sales, R&D expenses were 0.4% and 0.3%, respectively, for the first quarter in fiscal 2002
and fiscal 2001. The decrease in absolute dollars in R&D expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 2002 was primarily due to
efforts to keep costs under control. The closure of our Force - Westborough site also contributed to the reduction.

Net Interest Income (Expense)

Net interest Expense was $22.8 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2002 compared to net interest
income of $3.9 million in the same period of fiscal 2001. The increase in net interest expense in the first quarter of fiscal 2002
primarily resulted from our 3.25% yield zero-coupon convertible senior notes and a decrease in interest income earned on undeployed
cash and investments due to lower average interest rates. We incurred minimal interest expense from the 3.25% yield zero-coupon
convertible senior notes in the first quarter of fiscal year 2001 as these notes were issued only 11 days before the quarter end.

Income Taxes

For the first quarter of fiscal 2002, we recorded an income tax benefit of $20.8 million on a pretax net
loss of $71.3 million. We incurred income tax expense of $89.7 million in the same period of fiscal 2001. The difference was
primarily due to our loss before income taxes for the quarter. In general, the effective income tax rate is largely a function of the
balance between income from domestic and international operations. Our international operations, taken as a whole, have been taxed at
a lower rate than those in the United States primarily due to a tax holiday granted to several of Solectron's overseas sites in
Malaysia, Singapore, and China. The Malaysian tax holiday is effective through July 2011, subject to some conditions, including
certain levels of research and development expenditures. In addition, Solectron has also been granted a tax holiday for certain
operations in Singapore, which is effective through March 2011. Solectron has also been granted various tax holidays in China, which
are effective for various terms and are subject to some conditions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net working capital was $4.9 billion on November 30, 2001, compared to $6.0 billion at the end of fiscal 2001. The
decrease reflected our continued efforts to reduce inventory and accounts receivable.

Accounts receivable decreased $429.8 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2002 from the 2001 fiscal year
end. The decrease in accounts receivable is primarily due to our revenue decrease during the first quarter of fiscal quarter 2002. Inventories
decreased $458.4 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2002. The inventory decrease was primarily due
to the sale of excess inventory  to customers.

As of November 30, 2001, we had available a $100 million unsecured multicurrency revolving line of credit that
expires April 30, 2002. Borrowings under the credit facility bear interest, at our option, at either the bank's prime rate, the
London interbank offering rate (LIBOR) plus a margin, or the bank's certificate of deposit (CD) rate plus a margin. The margin under
the LIBOR or CD rate options will vary depending on Solectron's Standard & Poor's Corporation and/or Moody's Investor Services,
Inc. rating for its long-term senior unsecured debt. This margin was 0.4% at November 30, 2001. Under the credit agreement, we must
meet certain financial covenants. There were no borrowings outstanding under this line of credit as of November 30, 2001. In
addition, we had approximately $185 million and $597 million, respectively, in committed and uncommitted foreign lines of credit and
other bank facilities as of November 30, 2001. Borrowings were payable on demand. The interest rates ranged from the bank's prime
lending rate to the bank's prime rate plus 2.0%. As of November 30, 2001, borrowings and guaranteed amounts under committed and
uncommitted foreign lines of credit were $140 million and $223 million, respectively.  The weighted-average interest rate was 3.5%
for committed and 4.2% for uncommitted foreign lines of credit. Under these lines of credit agreements and certain synthetic lease agreements,
we must meet certain financial covenants at the end of each fiscal quarter.  We were in compliance with all of such
financial covenants as of November 30, 2001. However, if certain of these financial covenants were measured
immediately after the issuance of our 7.25% Adjustable Conversion-Rate Equity Security Units, we would not be in
compliance with them. The total amount outstanding under such facilities as of November 30, 2001 was $369 million.
If we do not work out some arrangement or pre-pay these obligations, the lenders could accelerate our obligations
and declare all amounts due thereunder due and payable.   This acceleration, or the fact that we are in default under those agreements,
could in turn cause cross-defaults with respect to other indebtedness we have outstanding or have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.
These statements are forward-looking statements and actual results could vary. See Risk Factors -"As a result of our issuance of the 7.25% Adjustable  Conversion-Rate
Equity Security Units, we will be required to obtain waivers, consents or amendments wth respect to our compliance
with certain of our financial instruments or we will be required to pre-pay those obligations." In this regard, we have requested
waivers, consents, or amendments or submitted prepayment notices for all facilities which require significant advance notice for prepayment.

We have purchased in the past and may continue to purchase in the future our Liquid Yields Option
Notes ("LYONs") on an opportunistic and unsolicited basis. In addition, our cash and liquidity could be adversely
affected if we require substantial amounts of cash in connection with our obligations to purchase our LYONs as they become due. Instead
of repurchasing the LYONs with cash, we may elect to offer holders our common stock or combination of our cash and common
stock. On January 28, 2002, holders of our 4% LYONs due 2019 have the option to require us to repurchase their notes in
the amount of $510.03 per $1,000 principal amount at maturity for a total of up to approximately $615 million as
of November 30, 2001. We have elected to satisfy this obligation with cash. On May 8, 2003, holders of our 2.75% LYONs
due 2020 have the option to require us to repurchase their notes in an amount of $628.57 per $1,000 principal amount at
maturity for a total up to approximately $2,432 million as of November 30, 2001. On May 20, 2004, holders of our 3.25%
LYONs due 2020 have the option to require us to repurchase their notes in an amount of $587.46 per $1,000 principal
amount at maturity for a total of approximately $1,573 million as of November 30, 2001. These are forward-looking
statements and actual results could vary. See Risk Factors -"We have significant debt leverage and debt service
obligations; if we are unable to service these debt obligations, our business, operating results and financial
conditions could be materially adversely impacted."

We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, line of credit and cash generated
from operations will satisfy our expected working capital, capital expenditure, investment and debt service requirements through at
least the next 12 months.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

On December 3, 2001, we announced the completion of our combination with C-MAC Industries Inc.  We issued
approximately  98.8 million shares of our common stock, 52.5 million exchangeable shares of  Solectron Global Services Canada Inc., which
is exchangeable on a one-to-one basis for our common stock, and 5.2 million options in the transaction.  The purchase price was
$2,565.3 million, consisting of stock valued at $2,487.2 million, stock options valued
at $63.1 million and direct acquisition costs of approximately $15.0 million.

On December 6, 2001, we announced the completion of our acquisition of Artesyn Solutions, Inc. for approximately
$36.4 million in cash. Artesyn is a leading product support services company and wholly owned subsidiary of Artesyn Technologies,
Inc.  The acquisition expands the materials return processing, repair and refurbishment capabilities of Solectron's Global Services
business unit.

On December 18, 2001, we announced our intention to use cash to meet any obligations in January to repurchase our
zero-coupon senior convertible notes due in 2019. Note holders have the right to require us to repurchase all or portion of the notes
they hold as of January 28, 2002. The accreted value of the notes outstanding, as of December 18, 2001, was about $530 million.

On December 18, 2001, we announced that we had received a commitment for $500 million of revolving credit
facilities. We expect to close on this transaction during the first quarter of calendar 2002. The commitment is subject to a number of conditions
including (i) no occurence of a material adverse change in the financial or capital market generally, (ii) rating by Standard & Poor's
and Moody's Investor Services for our senior unsecured debt of not lower than BB+ and Ba1, respectively,
(iii) the issuance of at least $500 million of fixed rate unsecured debt securities and (iv) the receipt by Solectron of any required consents
of certain existing lenders. The new credit faciliites
are intended to replace our undrawn $100 million line of credit, expiring on April 30, 2002, which was canceled on December 31, 2001.  There can be no assurance this transaction will
be consummated.

On December 27, 2001, we closed our public offering of $1 billion, or 40 million units, of 7.25% Adjustable Conversion-
Rate Equity Security Units. Each unit has a stated amount of $25 and consists of (a) a contract to purchase, for $25, a number of shares of our
common stock to be determined on November 15, 2004 and (b) $25 principal amount of 7.25% subordinated debentures due 2006.
We received total net proceeds of approximately $969 million before expenses from the transaction.
We pledged cash of approximately $136.9 million to secure the first eight quarterly interest payments on the debentures.

On January 8, 2002, our underwriters closed on the exercise of their option to purchase four million units
of our 7.25% Adjustable Conversion Rate-Equity Security Units. We received net proceeds of approximately $97 million before expenses from the transaction.
We pledged cash of approximately $13.7 million to secure the first eight quarterly interest payments on the debentures.





RISK FACTORS

AS A RESULT OF OUR ISSUANCE OF THE 7.25% ADJUSTABLE CONVERSION-RATE EQUITY SECURITY UNITS,
WE WILL BE REQUIRED TO OBTAIN WAIVERS, CONSENTS OR AMENDMENTS WITH RESPECT TO OUR COMPLIANCE WITH CERTAIN
OF OUR FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS OR WE WILL BE REQUIRED TO PRE-PAY THOSE OBLIGATIONS.

We and our subsidiaries are parties to various financial instruments,
including credit facilities and synthetic leases. Some of the agreements evidencing these obligations contain financial covenants
with which we must be in compliance at the end of each fiscal quarter, with the next compliance date being March 2, 2002.
If certain of these financial covenants were measured immediately after the issuance of our 7.25% Adjustable
Conversion-Rate Equity Security Units, we would not be in compliance with them. The total obligations outstanding
under financial instruments containing  such covenants as of November 30, 2001 was approximately $369 million.
We intend to seek waivers, consents, amendments, or any combination of the forgoing, from the lenders or lessors under
these financial instruments with respect to these covenants. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be
able to obtain such waivers, consents, or amendments on a timely basis, if at all. If we are unable to
obtain such waivers, consents or amendments on a timely basis with respect to any particular credit
facility or sythentic lease, we intend to work out some other accommodation or exercise our right under such facility
and/or to pre-pay all of our obligations thereunder (which could require us to apply up to approximately $369 million
of cash to such pre-payments). If we pre-pay those obligations, that particular credit facility or synthetic lease
will be cancelled.



If we do not obtain the waivers, consents or amendments described above and we
do not work out other accommodations or pre-pay the obligations referred to above, then the lenders or
lessors, as the case may be, under those financing instruments could accelerate our obligations and declare
all amounts thereunder due and payable. This acceleration, or the fact that we are in default under those
agreements, could in turn cause cross-defaults with respect to other indebtedness we have outstanding or
have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. In this regard, we have requested waivers, consents, or amendments
or submitted prepayment notices for all facilities which require significant advance notice for prepayment.

WE ARE EXPOSED TO GENERAL ECONOMIC CONDITIONS, WHICH COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE IMPACT ON OUR
BUSINESS, OPERATING RESULTS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION.

As a result of recent unfavorable economic conditions and reduced capital spending, our
sales have continued to decline in the recent fiscal quarters. In particular, we started to see sales decline in the
telecommunications, workstation and server equipment manufacturing industry worldwide during the second half of fiscal 2001. If the
economic conditions in the United States worsen we may experience a material adverse impact on our business, operating results and
financial condition.

WE HAVE SIGNIFICANT DEBT LEVERAGE AND DEBT SERVICE OBLIGATIONS; IF WE ARE
UNABLE TO SERVICE THESE DEBT OBLIGATIONS, OUR BUSINESS, OPERATING RESULTS AND
FINANCIAL CONDITION COULD BE MATERIALLY ADVERSELY IMPACTED.

Our ratio of earnings to fixed charges for the first fiscal quarter of 2002 was (0.53x) as
compared to 0.23x fiscal 2001 and 8.38x for fiscal 2000. This decline in the ratio is primarily due to interest expense growing at a
greater rate than income during the first fiscal quarter of 2002.  As of November 30, 2001, we had
short-term indebtedness of $888.5 million and long-term indebtness of
$4.2 billion.  In addition, on December 3, 2001 we assumed approximately $341 million of indebtedness,
 in connection with our acquisition of C-MAC.  The degree to which we may be leveraged could materially and
adversely affect our ability to obtain financing for working capital, acquisitions or other purposes and could make us more
vulnerable to industry downturns and competitive pressures.  Our ability to meet our debt service obligations will be dependent upon
our future performance, which will be subject to financial, business and other factors affecting our operations, many of which are
beyond our control.



We will require substantial amounts of cash to fund scheduled payments of principal and interest on our
outstanding indebtedness, as well as future capital expenditures and any increased working capital requirements. In addition, we may
require substantial amounts of cash in connection with our obligations to purchase our Liquid Yield Option Notes ("LYONs").
On January 28, 2002, holders of our 4% LYONs due 2019 have the option to require us to repurchase their notes in an amount of $510.03
per $1,000 principal amount at maturity for a total of up to approximately $615 million as of November 30, 2001.
On May 8, 2003, holders of our 2.75% LYONs due 2020 have the option to require us
to repurchase their notes in an amount of $628.57 per $1,000 principal amount at maturity for a total of up to approximately $2,432
million as of November 30, 2001.  On May 20, 2004, holder of our 3.25% LYONs due 2020 have the option to require us to repurchase their
notes in an amount of $587.46 per $1,000 principal amount at maturity for a total of approximately $1,573 million as of November 30,
2001.  Instead of repurchasing the LYONs with cash, we may elect to offer holders our common stock or a combination of our cash and
common stock.  See "- Our low stock price may reduce our earnings per share."



If we are unable to meet our cash requirements out of cash flow from  operations, there can be no assurance that
we will be able to obtain alternative financing, that any such financing would be on favorable terms, or that we will be permitted to
do so under the terms of our existing financing arrangements, or our financing arrangements in effect in the future.  In the absence
of such financing, our ability to respond to changing business and economic conditions, make future acquisitions, experience adverse
operating results or fund required capital expenditures or increased working capital requirements may be adversely affected.



MOST OF OUR NET SALES COME FROM A SMALL NUMBER OF CUSTOMERS; IF WE LOSE ANY OF THESE CUSTOMERS, OUR NET SALES
COULD DECLINE SIGNIFICANTLY.



Most of our annual net sales come from a small number of our customers. Our 10 largest customers accounted for
approximately 70% of net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2002 and approximately 78% of net sales in the same period of fiscal
2001. Since we depend on continued net sales from our 10 largest customers, any material delay, cancellation or reduction of orders
from these or other major customers could cause our net sales to decline significantly. Some of these customers individually account
for more than 10 percent of our annual net sales. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to retain any of our 10 largest customers
or any other accounts. In addition, our customers may materially reduce the level of services ordered from us at any time. This could
cause a significant decline in our net sales and we may not be able to reduce the accompanying expenses at the same time. Moreover,
our business, financial condition and results of operations will continue to depend significantly on our ability to obtain orders
from new customers, as well as on the financial condition and success of our customers. Therefore, any adverse factors affecting any
of our customers or their customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operations.



WE MAY ENCOUNTER SIGNIFICANT DELAYS OR DEFAULTS IN PAYMENTS OWED TO US BY CUSTOMERS FOR PRODUCTS WE HAVE
MANUFACTURED OR COMPONENTS THAT ARE UNIQUE TO PARTICULAR CUSTOMERS.



We structure our agreements with customers to minimize our risks related to obsolete or unsold inventory.
However, enforcement of these contracts may result in material expense and delay in payment for inventory.  If any of our significant
customers become unable or unwilling to purchase such inventory, our business may be material harmed.



OUR LONG-TERM CONTRACTS DO NOT INCLUDE MINIMUM PURCHASE REQUIREMENTS.



Although we have long-term contracts with a few of our top 10 customers, including Ericsson and Nortel under
which these customers are obligated to obtain services from us, only Nortel is obligated to purchase any minimum amount of services.
As a result, we cannot guarantee that we will receive any net sales from these contracts. In addition, customers with whom we have
long-term contracts may materially reduce the level of services ordered at any time. This could cause a significant decline in our
net sales, and we may not be able to reduce our accompanying expenses at the same time.



POSSIBLE FLUCTUATION OF OPERATING RESULTS FROM QUARTER TO QUARTER COULD AFFECT THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON
STOCK.



Our quarterly earnings may fluctuate in the future due to a number of factors including the following:



- differences in the profitability of the types of manufacturing services we provide. For example, high-velocity
and low-complexity Print Circuit Board and systems assembly services have lower gross margins than low-volume, high-complexity
printed circuit boards and systems assembly services;



- our ability to maximize the use of our equipment and facilities depends on the duration of the production run
time for each job and customer;



- the amount of automation we can use in the manufacturing process for cost reduction varies, depending upon the
complexity of the product being made;



- our customers' ability to take delivery of our products and to make timely payments
for delivered products;



- our ability to optimize the ordering of inventory as to timing and amount to avoid holding inventory in excess
of immediate production needs;



- fluctuations in demand for our services or the products being manufactured;



- fluctuations in the availability and pricing of components;



- timing of expenditures in anticipation of increased sales;



- cyclicality in our target markets; and



- expenses associated with acquisitions.



Therefore, our operating results in the future could be below the expectations of securities analysts and
investors. If this occurs, the market price of our common stock could be harmed.



WE DEPEND UPON THE ELECTRONICS INDUSTRY, WHICH CONTINUALLY PRODUCES TECHNOLOGICALLY ADVANCED PRODUCTS WITH
SHORT LIFE CYCLES; OUR INABILITY TO CONTINUALLY MANUFACTURE SUCH PRODUCTS COST EFFECTIVELY WOULD HARM OUR BUSINESS.



Most of our net sales are to companies in the electronics industry, which is subject to rapid technological change
and product obsolescence. If our customers are unable to create products that keep pace with the changing technological environment,
our customers' products could become obsolete and the demand for our services could decline significantly. If we are unable to offer
technologically advanced, cost-effective, quick-response manufacturing services to customers, demand for our services would also
decline. In addition, a substantial portion of our net sales is derived from our ability to offer complete service solutions for our
customers. For example, if we fail to maintain high-quality design and engineering services, our net sales would significantly
decline.



For our technology solutions business, we have experienced, and may in the future experience, delays from time to
time in the development and introduction of new products. Moreover, we cannot ensure that we will be successful in selecting,
developing, manufacturing and marketing new products or enhancements.  We cannot ensure that defects or errors will not be found in
our products after commencement of commercial shipments, which could delay the market acceptance of those products. The inability to
introduce new products or enhancements could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.



WE DEPEND ON A LIMITED OR SOLE SOURCE OF SUPPLIERS FOR CRITICAL COMPONENTS. THE INABILITY TO OBTAIN SUFFICIENT
COMPONENTS AS REQUIRED WOULD CAUSE SALES REDUCTIONS.



We are dependent on certain suppliers, including limited and sole source suppliers, to provide key components used in
                                                     our products. We have experienced and may continue to experience delays in component deliveries, which could cause delays in product
shipments and require the redesign of certain products. Also, for our technology solutions business, we depend on certain limited or
sole source suppliers for critical components used for our memory module, communications card and embedded computer products. The
electronics industry has experienced in the past, and may experience in the future, shortages in semiconductor devices, including
DRAM, SRAM, flash memory, tantalum capacitors and other commodities that may be caused by such conditions as overall market demand
surges or supplier production capacity constraints. Except for certain commodity parts, we generally have no written agreements with
our suppliers. We cannot ensure that we will receive adequate component supplies on a timely basis in the future. The inability to
continue to obtain sufficient components as required, or to develop alternative sources as required, could cause delays, disruptions
or reductions in product shipments or require product redesigns, which could damage relationships with current or prospective
customers, thereby causing harm to our business.



WE POTENTIALLY BEAR THE RISK OF PRICE INCREASES ASSOCIATED WITH POTENTIAL SHORTAGES IN THE AVAILABILITY OF
ELECTRONICS COMPONENTS.



At various times, there have been shortages of components in the electronics industry. One of the services that we
perform for many customers is purchasing electronics components used in the manufacturing of the customers' products. As a result of
this service, we potentially bear the risk of price increases for these components if we are unable to purchase components at the
pricing level anticipated to support the margins assumed in our agreements with our customers.



OUR NET SALES COULD DECLINE IF OUR COMPETITORS PROVIDE COMPARABLE MANUFACTURING SERVICES AND IMPROVED PRODUCTS
AT A LOWER COST.



We compete with different contract manufacturers, depending on the type of service we provide or the location of
our operations. The memory module, communications card and embedded computer subsystem industries are also intensely competitive.
These competitors may have greater manufacturing, financial, R&D and/or marketing resources than we have. In addition, we may not
be able to offer prices as low as some of our competitors because those competitors may have lower cost structures as a result of
their geographic location or the services they provide. Our inability to provide comparable or better manufacturing services at a
lower cost than our competitors could cause our net sales to decline. We also expect our competitors to continue to improve the
performance of their current products or services, to reduce their current products or service sales prices and to introduce new
products or services that may offer greater performance and improved pricing. Any of these could cause a decline in sales, loss of
market acceptance of our products or services, or profit margin compression.



WE DEPEND ON THE MEMORY MODULE PRODUCT MARKET.

Most of our technology solutions net sales are derived from memory modular products. The
market for these products is characterized by frequent transitions in which products rapidly incorporate new features and performance
standards. A failure to develop products with required feature sets or performance standards or a delay as short as a few months in
bringing a new product to market could reduce our net sales which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and results of operations. In addition, the market for semiconductor memory devices has been cyclical. The industry has
experienced significant economic downturns at various times, characterized by diminished product demand, accelerated erosion of
average selling prices and excess production. In the past, there have been significant declines in the prices for DRAM, SRAM and
flash memory. Similar occurrences will reduce our profit.

WE DEPEND ON THE CONTINUING TREND OF OEMS TO OUTSOUCE.

A substantial factor in our revenue growth is attributable to the transfer of manufacturing
and supply base management activities from our OEM customers. Future growth is partially dependent on new outsourcing opportunities.
To the extent that these opportunities are not available, our future growth would be unfavorably impacted. These outsourcing
opportunities may include the transfer of assets such as facilities, equipment and inventory.



IF WE ARE UNABLE TO MANAGE OUR RAPID GROWTH AND COST EFFECTIVELY ASSIMILATE NEW OPERATIONS,
OUR PROFITABILITY COULD DECLINE.

We have experienced rapid growth over many years. Our historical growth may not continue. In
recent years we have established operations in different locations throughout the world. For example, in fiscal 1998, we opened,
acquired facilities or commenced manufacturing operations in nine foreign locations. Furthermore, through acquisitions in fiscal 1998
and 1999, we acquired or expanded our capabilities in six domestic facilities.



In fiscal 2000, we completed acquisitions of AMERICOM, SMART, and Bluegum. Through additional
acquisitions, we also acquired foreign facilities in fourteen foreign locations. During fiscal 2001, we completed acquisitions of
NEL, Shinei, Centennial, MCC-Sequel, and Sony's manufacturing facilities in Japan and Taiwan as well as IBM's repair center in the
Netherlands. Thus far in fiscal 2002, we have completed acquisitions of Stream International, Iphotonics, Inc., Artesyn Solutions,
Inc. and C-MAC Industries.



In order to achieve anticipated revenue and other financial performance targets; we must
manage our assets and operations efficiently. Our expansion and growth place a heavy strain our personnel and management,
manufacturing and other resources. Our ability to manage the expansion to date, as well as any future expansion, will require
progressive increases in manufacturing infrastructure, as well as enhancements or upgrades of accounting and other internal
management systems and the implementation of a variety of procedures and controls. We cannot assure you that significant problems in
these areas will not occur. Any failure to enhance or expand these systems and implement such procedures and controls in an efficient
manner and at a pace consistent with our business activities could harm our financial condition and results of operations. In
addition, should we continue to expand geographically, we may experience inefficiencies from the management of geographically
dispersed facilities.



As we manage and continue to expand new operations, we may incur substantial infrastructure and working capital
costs. If we do not achieve sufficient growth to offset increased expenses associated with rapid expansion, our profitability will
decline.



WE NEED TO SUCCESSFULLY INTEGRATE OUR ACQUISITIONS TO MAINTAIN PROFITABILITY.

We may pursue additional acquisitions over time. These acquisitions involve risks,
including:



- integration and management of the operations;



- retention of key personnel;



- integration of purchasing operations and information systems;



- retention of the customer base of acquired businesses;



- management of an increasingly larger and more geographically disparate business; and



- diversion of management's attention from other ongoing business concerns.



Our profitability will suffer if we are unable to successfully integrate and manage recent or pending acquisitions
including, in particular, the NEL, Shinei, MCC-Sequel, Centennial, Stream, Iphotonics and C-MAC transactions, as well as any future
acquisitions that we might pursue, or if we do not achieve sufficient revenue to offset the increased expenses associated with these
acquisitions.



OUR NON-U.S. LOCATIONS REPRESENT A SIGNIFICANT AND GROWING PORTION OF OUR NET SALES; WE ARE
INCREASINGLY EXPOSED TO RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OPERATING INTERNATIONALLY.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2002, approximately 65% of net sales came from sites
outside the United States, while approximately 45% of net sales came from sites outside the United States in the same period of
fiscal 2001. As a result of our foreign sales and facilities, our operations are subject to a variety of risks that are unique to
international operations, including the following:



- adverse movement of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar in which our results are
reported;



- import and export duties, and value added taxes;



- import and export regulation changes that could erode our profit margins or restrict exports;



- potential restrictions on the transfer of funds;



- inflexible employee contracts in the event of business downturns; and



- the burden and cost of compliance with foreign laws.



In addition, we have operations in several locations in emerging or developing economies that
have a potential for higher risk. The risks associated with these economies include but are not limited to currency volatility, and
other economic or political risks. In the future, these factors may harm our results of operations. Solectron locations in emerging
or developing economies include Mexico, Brazil, China, Malaysia, Hungary and Romania. As of November 30, 2001, we recorded $336.0
million in cumulative foreign exchange translation losses on our balance sheet which was primarily due to dollar denominated debt
held by our foreign subsidiaries. While, to date, these factors have not had a significant adverse impact on our results of
operations, we cannot give any assurance that there will not be such an impact. Furthermore, while we may adopt measures to reduce
the impact of losses resulting from volatile currencies and other risks of doing business abroad, we cannot assure that such measures
will be adequate.



The Malaysian government adopted currency exchange controls, including controls on its currency, the ringgit, held
outside Malaysia, and established a fixed exchange rate for the ringgit against the U.S. dollar. The fixed exchange rate provides a
stable rate environment when applied to local expenses denominated in ringgit.  The long-term impact of such controls is not
predictable due to dynamic economic conditions that also affect or are affected by other regional or global economies.



We have been granted tax holidays, which are effective through 2011, subject to some conditions, for our Malaysian
and Singapore sites. We have also been granted various tax holidays in China. These tax holidays are effective for various terms and
are subject to some conditions. It is possible that the current tax holidays will be terminated or modified or that future tax
holidays that we may seek will not be granted. If the current tax holidays are terminated or modified, or if additional tax holidays
are not granted in the future, our effective income tax rate would likely increase.





WE ARE EXPOSED TO FLUCTUATIONS IN FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATES.

We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. Our policy is to
hedge our foreign currency denominated transactions in a manner that substantially offsets the effects of changes in foreign currency
exchange rates. Presently, we use foreign currency borrowings and foreign currency forward contracts to hedge only those currency
exposures associated with certain assets and liabilities denominated in non-functional currencies. Corresponding gains and losses on
the underlying transaction generally offset the gains and losses on these foreign currency hedges.



As of November 30, 2001, the majority of the foreign currency hedging contracts were scheduled to mature in approximately
three months and there were no material deferred gains or losses. In addition, our international operations in some instances
act as a natural hedge because both operating expenses and a portion of sales are denominated in local currency. In these instances,
including our current experience involving the devaluation of the Brazilian real, although an unfavorable change in the exchange rate
of a foreign currency against the U.S. dollar will result in lower sales when translated to U.S. dollars, operating expenses will
also be lower in these circumstances. Also, since approximately 24% of our net sales in the first quarter fiscal 2002 were
denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollar, we do not believe our total exposure to be significant.



We have currency exposures arising from both sales and purchases denominated in currencies other than the
functional currency of our sites. Fluctuations in the rate of exchange between the currency of the exposure and the functional
currency of our site could seriously harm our business, operating results and financial condition. For example, if there is an
increase in the rate at which a foreign currency is exchanged for U.S. dollars, it will require more of the foreign currency to equal
a specified amount of U.S. dollars than before the rate increase. In such cases, and if we price our products and services in the
foreign currency, we will receive less in U.S. dollars than we did before the rate increase went into effect. If we price our
products and services in U.S. dollars and competitors price their products in local currency, an increase in the relative strength of
the U.S. dollar could result in our prices being uncompetitive in markets where business is transacted in the local currency.



WE ARE EXPOSED TO INTEREST RATE FLUCTUATIONS.

The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal, while at the same time, maximize
yields without significantly increasing risk. To achieve this objective, we maintain our portfolio of cash equivalents and short-term
investments in a variety of securities, including both government and corporate obligations, certificates of deposit and money market
funds. As of November 30, 2001, approximately 89% of our total portfolio was scheduled to mature in less than six months. In addition,
our investments are diversified and of relatively short maturity. A hypothetical 10% increase in interest rates would not have a
material effect on our investment portfolios.



The following table presents the amounts of our cash equivalents and short-term investments that are subject to
interest rate risk by calendar year of expected maturity and weighted average interest rates as of November 30, 2001:

`2002         2003        Total      Fair Value
                                                             (amounts in millions)

Cash equivalents and short-
 term investments                             $    724.4    $    67.6   $    792.0   $    792.0
Average interest rate                               2.54%        3.55%`

We have entered into an interest rate swap transaction under which we pay a fixed rate of interest hedging against
the variable interest rates implicit in the rent charged by the lessor for the facility lease at Milpitas, California. The interest
rate swap expires June 3, 2002, which coincides with the maturity date of the lease term. As we intend to hold the interest rate swap
until the maturity date, we are not subject to market risk. In substance, such interest rate swap has fixed the interest rate for the
facility lease, thus reducing interest rate risk.



Our long-term debt instruments are subject to fixed interest rates. In addition, the amount of principal to be
repaid at maturity is also fixed. In the case of the convertible notes, such notes are based on fixed conversion ratios into common
stock. Therefore, we are not exposed to variable interest rates related to our long-term debt instruments.



WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ADEQUATELY PROTECT OR ENFORCE OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS; AND
WE COULD BECOME INVOLVED IN INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY DISPUTES.

Our ability to effectively compete may be affected by our ability to protect our proprietary information. We hold
a number of patents and other license rights. These patent and license rights may not provide meaningful protection for our
manufacturing processes and equipment innovations. In the future, third parties may assert infringement claims against us or our
customers. In the event of an infringement claim, we may be required to spend a significant amount of money to develop a non-
infringing alternative or to obtain licenses. We may not be successful in developing such an alternative or obtaining a license on
reasonable terms, if at all. In addition, any such litigation could be lengthy and costly and could harm our financial condition.



FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS COULD HARM OUR BUSINESS.

As a company in the electronics manufacturing services industry, we are subject to a variety of environmental
regulations relating to the use, storage, discharge and disposal of hazardous chemicals used during our manufacturing process.
Although we have never sustained any significant loss as a result of non-compliance with such regulations, any failure by us to
comply with environmental laws and regulations could result in liabilities or the suspension of production. In addition, these laws
and regulations could restrict our ability to expand our facilities or require us to acquire costly equipment or incur other
significant costs to comply with regulations. The addition of numerous production and manufacturing service facilities as a result of
our recent acquisition of C-MAC could generate additional risks that we have been unable to fully evaluate as of this time.



The investigation of the C-MAC facilities to date indicate that there are some contaminated sites for which C-MAC
has been indemnified by third parties with respect to any required remediation, sites for which there is a risk for the presence of
contamination, and sites with some levels of contamination for which C-MAC may be liable any which may or may not ultimately require
any remediation. We have obtained environmental insurance to mitigate certain environmental liabilities posed by C-MAC's operations
and facilities. We believe, based on our current knowledge, that the cost of any groundwater or soil clean-up that may be required at
C-MAC facilities would not materially harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. Neverthless, the process of
remediating contamination in soil and groundwater at the facilities is costly, and there can be no assurance that the costs of such
activities would not harm our business, financial condition and results of operations in the future.



OUR ADMINISTRATIVE FACILITIES AND PRINCIPAL BUSINESS OPERATIONS ARE LOCATED IN CALIFORNIA, AND ANY DISTRUPTION
IN THE AVAILABLE POWER SUPPLY IN CALIFORNIA COULD DISRUPT OUR OPERATIONS, REDUCE OUR REVENUES, AND INCREASE OUR EXPENSE.

A substantial portion of our operating activities and facilities, including our headquarters and principal
administrative facilities, as well as certain of our third party service providers are located in California. During acute power
shortages, California has implemented, and may in the future continue to implement, rolling blackouts throughout the state. The
rolling blackouts that have occurred to date have not materially disrupted the operations of our facilities. Should these blackouts
continue or increase in severity, however, they could materially disrupt the operations of one or more of our facilities. Although
Solectron currently does not have backup generator or long-term alternate sources of power in the event of a blackout, Solectron does
have some flexibility to shift some manufacturing volume to other manufacturing sites around the world. If blackouts interrupt our
power supply, we would be temporarily unable to continue operations at our affected facilities. Our current insurance does not
provide coverage for any damages our customers or we may suffer as a result of any interruption in our power supply. Consequently,
any interruption in our ability to continue operations at our facilities could damage our reputation, harm our ability to retain
existing customers and to obtain new customers, and could result in lost revenue, any of which would substantially harm our business
and results of operations.



In addition, the utility deregulation program instituted in 1996 by the California government deregulated
wholesale prices while continuing to regulate the retail prices charged by the electrical utilities. While wholesale prices have
increased dramatically, retail prices have, until recently, not increased at a comparable rate. Our business is substantially
dependent on the availability and price of electricity. If retail electricity prices rise dramatically, we would expect our expenses
to increase, our operating results to be harmed, and the possible decline of our stock price.



OUR STOCK PRICE MAY BE VOLATILE DUE TO FACTORS OUTSIDE OF OUR CONTROL.

Our stock price could fluctuate due to the following factors, among others:



- announcements of operating results and business conditions by our customers;



- announcements by our competitors relating to new customers or technological innovation or new
services;



- economic developments in the electronics industry as a whole;



- downgrades of our securities by rating agencies;



- political and economic developments in countries in which we have operations; and

- general market conditions.



OUR LOW STOCK PRICE MAY REDUCE OUR EARNINGS PER SHARE.

On May 8, 2003, we may become obligated to purchase, at the option of the holders, all or a portion of the
outstanding 2.75% LYONs at a price of $628.57 per note and on May 20, 2004 we may become obligated to purchase, at the option of the
holders, all or a portion of the outstanding 3.25% LYON at a price of $587.46 per note. We have the option to pay the purchase price
of LYONs in cash or common stock or any combination thereof. If we elect to pay the purchase price, in whole or part, in shares of
our common stock, the number of shares of common stock to be delivered shall equal the purchase price divided by the average of the
sale prices of the common stock for the five trading day period ending on the third business day prior to May 8, 2003 or May 20,
2004, as the case may be. On each respective repurchase date the 2.75% LYONs or the 3.25% LYONs are convertible into common stock at
a price of $50.98 per share or 12.3309 shares per LYON in the case of the 2.75% LYONs or at a price of $49.84 per share or 11.7862
shares per LYON, in the case of the 3.25% LYONs.  In the event that our stock price remains below $50.98 per share at May 8, 2003 or
below $49.84 per share at May 20, 2004, as the case may be, we may have to issue additional shares to the holders. Accordingly, our
earnings per share may be reduced.



FAILURE TO RETAIN KEY PERSONNEL AND SKILLED ASSOCIATES COULD HURT OUR OPERATIONS.

Our continued success depends to a large extent upon the efforts and abilities of key managerial and technical
associates. Losing the services of key personnel could harm us. Our business also depends upon our ability to continue to attract and
retain senior managers and skilled associates. Failure to do so could harm our operations.



OUR ANTI-TAKEOVER DEFENSE PROVISIONS MAY DETER POTENTIAL ACQUIRORS AND MAY DEPRESS OUR STOCK PRICE.



Our certificate of incorporation, bylaws and stockholder rights plan contain provisions that could have the effect
of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or of discouraging a third party from attempting to acquire, control of
Solectron.  These provisions allow us to issue preferred stock with rights senior to those of our common stock and impose various
procedural and other requirements that could make it more difficult for our stockholders to effect certain corporate actions.



OUR HOLDING COMPANY STRUCTURE MAKES US DEPENDENT ON CASH FLOW FROM OUR SUBSIDIARIES TO MEET OUR
OBLIGATIONS.

Most of our operations are conducted through, and most of our assets are held by, our subsidiaries, and therefore,
we are dependent on the cash flow our subsidiaries to meet our debt obligations, including our obligations under certain securities
described in this prospectus. Except to the extent we may ourself be a creditor with recognized claims against our subsidiaries, all
claims of creditors and holders of preferred stock, if any, of the subsidiaries will have priority with respect to the assets of such
subsidiaries over the claims of our creditors.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1: Legal Proceedings

In the semiconductor, computer, telecommunications and networking industries,
companies receive notices from time to time alleging infringement of patents, copyrights, or other intellectual property rights.
Solectron has been and may from time to time continue to be notified of claims that it may be infringing patents, copyrights or other
intellectual property rights owned by other third parties. Any litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of
resources and could have a material adverse effect on Solectron's business, financial condition and results of operations. In the
future, third parties may assert infringement claims against Solectron or its customers.  In the event of an infringement claim,
Solectron may be required to spend a significant amount of money to develop a non-infringing alternative or to obtain licenses.
