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 (“the Company”) have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been omitted pursuant to those rules or regulations. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited, but reflect all normal recurring and non-recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended October 3, 2009, included in the Company’s 2009 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 condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Results of operations for the six months ended April 3, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year.

The Company operates on a 52 or 53-week year ending on the Saturday nearest September 30. Fiscal 2010 will be a 52-week year, whereas fiscal 2009 was a 53-week year, with the extra week in the fourth fiscal quarter. All references to years relate to fiscal years unless otherwise noted.

During the fourth quarter of 2009, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized a reverse split of the Company’s common stock at a ratio of one-for-six, effective August 14, 2009. All previously reported share and per share amounts have been restated in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes to reflect the reverse stock split.

Correction of an Immaterial Error
 
During the three months ended April 3, 2010, the Company corrected an error in the amount of $5.5 million to increase the estimated loss for certain product development design arrangements. The adjustment to estimated losses for these arrangements should have been recognized during the three months ended January 2, 2010. The impact of correcting the error resulted in an increase to cost of sales of $5.5 million, a reduction to gross margin of $5.5 million, and a reduction to net income of $4.5 million during the three months ended April 3, 2010. There was no impact for the six months ended April 3, 2010.    
 
Based upon an evaluation of all relevant quantitative and qualitative factors, and after considering the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 28, “Interim Financial Reporting” (ASC 270, Accounting Changes in Interim Periods) and Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections—a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3” (ASC 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections), that incorporates SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 99, Materiality, and SAB No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements, the Company does not believe the impact of this error is material to its financial statements for the three months ended January 2, 2010 or April 3, 2010. Additionally, there is no impact to the year to date 2010 consolidated financial results. As a result of this assessment, the error was corrected in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements during the second quarter of 2010.

Revision of Prior Period Financial Statements
 
During the first quarter of 2010, the Company identified errors in the amount of $17.7 million, including penalties, related to an unrecorded tax position at one of its foreign subsidiaries. These errors primarily affected the Company’s 2005 financial statements. Additionally, unrecorded interest expense resulting from the errors for the period from 2006 through 2009 was $6.4 million. The Company concluded that these errors were not material to any of its prior period financial statements under the guidance of SAB No. 99, “Materiality”. Although the errors were and continue to be immaterial to prior periods, because of the significance of the out-of-period correction in the first quarter of 2010, the Company applied the guidance of SAB No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements”, and revised its prior period financial statements.

As a result of the revisions, long-term liabilities were increased and stockholders’ equity was decreased by $24.1 million as of October 3, 2009. Additionally, the provision for income taxes for the three and six months ended March 28, 2009 was increased by $0.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 166 (SFAS No. 166), “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets an amendment to FASB Statement No. 140” (ASC Topic 860, Transfer and Pricing). SFAS No. 166 eliminates the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity (“QSPE”), creates more stringent conditions for reporting a transfer of a portion of financial assets as a sale, clarifies other sale-accounting criteria, and changes the initial measurement of a transferor’s interest in transferred financial assets. SFAS No. 166 will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2011. The Company currently uses a QSPE in conjunction with sales of accounts receivable from customers in the United States. Upon adoption of SFAS No. 166, the Company will be required to consolidate the QSPE if it is still in existence. The Company plans to implement an accounts receivable sales program that does not require use of a QSPE prior to adoption of this standard.

Note 3. Fair Value

Fair Value Option for Long-term Debt

The Company has elected not to record its long-term debt instruments at fair value, but has measured them at fair value for disclosure purposes. The estimated fair values of the Company’s long-term debt instruments, based on quoted market prices as of April 3, 2010, were as follows:

   
Fair
Value
   
Carrying

$

Assets/Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The Company’s primary financial assets and financial liabilities are as follows:
 
·             Money market funds
 
·             Time deposits
  
·             Foreign currency forward contracts
 
·             Interest rate swaps
 
SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures), defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and also considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability.
 
Inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value are prioritized into three broad levels, as follows:
 
   
Level 1:
 
Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
         
   
Level 2:
 
Inputs that reflect quoted prices, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, that are observable for the assets or liabilities, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in less active markets; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation.
         
   
Level 3:
 
Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of assets or liabilities.

The Company sponsors deferred compensation plans for eligible employees and non-employee members of its Board of Directors that allow participants to defer payment of part or all of their compensation. The Company’s results of operations are not significantly affected by these plans since changes in the fair value of the assets substantially offset changes in the fair value of the liabilities. As such, assets and liabilities associated with these plans have not been included in the above table. Assets and liabilities associated with these plans of approximately $11.0 million as of April 3, 2010 and $9.7 million as of October 3, 2009 are recorded as other non-current assets and other long-term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

The Company values derivatives using the income approach, observable Level 2 market expectations at the measurement date, and standard valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present value amount assuming that participants are motivated, but not compelled to transact. The Company seeks high quality counterparties for all its financing arrangements. For interest rate swaps, Level 2 inputs include futures contracts on LIBOR for the first three years, swap rates beyond three years at commonly quoted intervals, and credit default swap rates for the Company and relevant counterparties. For currency contracts, Level 2 inputs include foreign currency spot and forward rates, interest rates and credit default swap rates at commonly quoted intervals. Mid-market pricing is used as a practical expedient for fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 (ASC Topic 820) requires the fair value measurement of an asset or liability to reflect the nonperformance risk of the entity and the counterparty. Therefore, the counterparty’s creditworthiness when in an asset position and the Company’s creditworthiness when in a liability position has been considered in the fair value measurement of derivative instruments. The effect of nonperformance risk on the fair value of derivative instruments was not material as of April 3, 2010 or October 3, 2009.

Non-Financial Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

The Company measures assets held-for-sale at fair value on a nonrecurring basis since these assets are subject to fair value adjustments only when the carrying amount of such assets exceeds the fair value of such assets or such assets have been previously impaired and the fair value exceeds the carrying amount by less than the amount of the impairment that has been recognized. Level 2 inputs consist of independent third party valuations based on market comparables. As of April 3, 2010, a long-lived asset held for sale with a carrying amount of $4.2 million was written down to its fair value of $3.7 million, resulting in an impairment loss of $0.5 million in the current period.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company is exposed to certain risks related to its ongoing business operations. The primary risks managed by using derivative instruments are interest rate risk and foreign exchange rate risk.

Interest rate swaps are entered into on occasion to manage interest rate risk associated with the Company's borrowings. The Company has $257.4 million of floating rate notes outstanding as of April 3, 2010 and has entered into interest rate swap agreements with two independent swap counterparties to hedge its interest rate exposure. The swap agreements, with an aggregate notional amount of $257 million and expiration dates in 2014, effectively convert the variable interest rate obligation to a fixed interest rate obligation and are accounted for as cash flow hedges under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Instruments” (ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging). Under terms of the swap agreements, the Company pays the independent swap counterparties a fixed rate of 5.594% and, in exchange, the swap counterparties pay the Company an interest rate equal to the three-month LIBOR. These swap agreements effectively fix the interest rate at 8.344% through maturity in 2014.

Forward contracts on various foreign currencies are entered into monthly to manage foreign currency risk associated with forecasted foreign currency transactions and certain monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.

 
11

 
 
The Company’s primary foreign currency cash flows are in certain Asian and European countries, Brazil and Mexico. The Company utilizes foreign currency forward contracts to hedge certain operational (“cash flow”) exposures resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Such exposures result from forecasted sales denominated in currencies different from those for cost of sales and other expenses. These contracts are typically one month in duration and are accounted for as cash flow hedges under SFAS No. 133 (ASC Topic 815).

The Company also enters into short-term foreign currency forward contracts to hedge currency exposures associated with certain monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. These contracts have maturities of one month and are not designated as accounting hedges under SFAS No. 133 (ASC Topic 815). Accordingly, these contracts are marked-to-market at the end of each period with unrealized gains and losses recorded in other income, net, in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the three and six months ended April 3, 2010, the Company recorded gains of $11.3 million and $13.3 million, respectively, associated with these forward contracts, which substantially offset losses on the underlying hedged items. For the three and six months ended March 28, 2009, the Company recorded a loss of $5.5 million and a gain of $13.2 million, respectively, associated with these forward contracts.

The Company had the following outstanding foreign currency forward contracts that were entered into to hedge foreign currency exposures:

 For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI), an equity account, and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses on the derivative representing hedge ineffectiveness are recognized in current earnings and were not material for the three or six months ended April 3, 2010. As of April 3, 2010, AOCI related to foreign currency forward contracts was not material and AOCI related to interest rate swaps was a loss of $30.6 million, of which $12.7 million is expected to be amortized to interest expense over the next 12 months.

On November 16, 2009, the Company redeemed all outstanding 2010 Notes in the amount of $175.7 million at par. The notes were redeemed prior to maturity resulting in a loss upon redemption of $0.8 million due to a write-off of related unamortized debt issuance costs.

The Company is currently subject to covenants that, among other things, place certain limitations on the Company’s ability to incur additional debt, make investments, pay dividends, and sell assets. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of April 3, 2010.

Asset-backed Lending Facility. On November 19, 2008, the Company entered into a Loan, Guaranty and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”), among the Company, the financial institutions party thereto from time to time as lenders, and Bank of America, N.A., as agent for such lenders, to replace a senior credit facility which was terminated in the first quarter of 2009.

The Loan Agreement provides for a $135 million secured asset-backed revolving credit facility, subject to a reduction of between $25 million and $50 million depending on the Company’s borrowing availability, with an initial $50 million letter of credit sublimit. The facility may be increased by an additional $200 million upon obtaining additional commitments from the lenders then party to the Loan Agreement or new lenders. The Loan Agreement expires on the earlier of (i) the date that is 90 days prior to the maturity date of the 6.75% Notes if such notes are not repaid, redeemed, defeased, refinanced or reserved for under the borrowing base under the Loan Agreement prior to such date or (ii) November 19, 2013 (the “Maturity Date”). As of April 3, 2010, there were no loans and $26.5 million in letters of credit outstanding under the Loan Agreement. On April 6, 2010, commitments were received from two lending banks, increasing the facility to $235 million.

On April 15, 2010, one of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries in China entered into a $50 million unsecured working capital loan facility with a Chinese bank. The facility bears interest at a rate equal to the three month Euro LIBOR plus a spread and expires in one year. The loan agreement contains certain negative covenants that, upon default, permit the bank to deny any further advances or extension of credit or to terminate the loan agreement. As of April 29, 2010, $20 million had been borrowed under this facility and was outstanding.

Note 5. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation and other contingencies. From time to time, the Company is a party to litigation, claims and other contingencies, including environmental matters and examinations and investigations by governmental agencies, which arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company records a contingent liability when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of loss is reasonably estimable in accordance with SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies” (ASC Topic 450, Contingencies), or other applicable accounting standards. As of April 3, 2010, the Company had reserves of $23.8 million for these matters, which the Company believes is adequate. Such reserves are included in accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

During the first quarter of 2010, the Company received $35.6 million of cash in connection with a litigation settlement. This amount has been recognized in earnings and is included in other income, net on the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Warranty Reserve.  The following table presents information with respect to the warranty reserve, which is included in accrued liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets:

Note 6. Income Tax

Various factors affect the provision for income tax expense, including the geographic composition of pre-tax income (loss), expected annual pre-tax income (loss), implementation of tax planning strategies and possible outcomes of audits and other uncertain tax positions. Management carefully monitors these factors and timely adjusts the interim income tax rate accordingly.

As of April 3, 2010, the Company had a long-term liability of $45.6 million, including interest, for net unrecognized tax benefits. This amount, if recognized, would result in a reduction of the Company’s effective tax rate. During the three and six months ended April 3, 2010, the Company’s liability increased $2.3 million and $4.2 million, respectively, for current year positions and interest and decreased $0.9 million and $13.3 million, respectively, for prior year positions primarily due to favorable conclusions with foreign tax authorities. The Company’s policy is to classify interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. It is reasonably possible that net unrecognized tax benefits as of April 3, 2010 could significantly increase or decrease within the next 12 months based on final determinations by taxing authorities and resolution of any disputes by the Company; however, such changes cannot be reasonably estimated.

In general, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal or state income tax examinations for years before 2004, except to the extent that tax attributes in these years were carried forward to years remaining open for audit, and to examinations for years prior to 2002 in its major foreign jurisdictions.

Note 7. Restructuring Costs

Costs associated with restructuring activities, other than those activities related to business combinations, are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities” (ASC Topic 420, Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations), or SFAS No. 112, “Employers’ Accounting for Postemployment Benefits” (ASC Topic 712, Compensation - Nonretirement Postemployment Benefits), as applicable. Pursuant to SFAS No. 112 (ASC Topic 712), restructuring costs related to employee severance are recorded when probable and estimable based on the Company’s policy with respect to severance payments. For all other restructuring costs, a liability is recognized in accordance with SFAS No. 146 (ASC Topic 420) only when incurred.

2009 Restructuring Plan

During the first quarter of 2009, the Company initiated a restructuring plan as a result of a slowdown in the global electronics industry and worldwide economy. The plan was designed to improve capacity utilization levels and reduce costs by consolidating manufacturing and other activities in locations with higher efficiencies and lower costs. Costs associated with this plan include employee severance, costs related to facilities and equipment that are no longer in use, and other costs associated with the exit of certain contractual arrangements due to facility closures. All actions under this plan were initiated and substantially completed in 2009 and costs for this plan are expected to be in the range of $50 million to $55 million, of which $44 million had been incurred as of April 3, 2010. Below is a summary of restructuring costs associated with facility closures and other consolidation efforts implemented under this plan:

In connection with all of the Company’s restructuring plans, restructuring costs of $5.4 million were accrued as of April 3, 2010. The Company expects to pay the majority of these costs during the remainder of 2010.

Note 12. Sales of Accounts Receivable

On June 26, 2008, the Company entered into a two-year global revolving trade receivables purchase agreement ("Global Receivables Program") with a financial institution that allows the Company to sell accounts receivable. The maximum face amount of accounts receivable that may be outstanding at any time under this agreement is $250 million. The purchase price for receivables sold under this program ranges from 95% to 100% of the face amount. The Company pays LIBOR plus a spread for the period from the date a receivable is sold to the date the receivable is collected. Sold receivables are subject to certain limited recourse provisions. The Company continues to service, administer and collect sold receivables on behalf of the purchaser in exchange for a servicing fee.

The Global Receivables Program has a foreign component and a U.S. component. The foreign component is governed by a Revolving Trade Receivables Purchase Agreement ("Foreign Facility") dated June 26, 2008. The U.S. component is governed by a Credit and Security Agreement dated November 24, 2008 that requires the Company to make an absolute transfer of accounts receivable to a special purpose entity (Borrower) to ensure that such transferred receivables are unavailable to the Company's creditors and to ensure the interests of such transferred receivables are fully transferred to the Borrower and its agent. The Borrower is a qualifying special purpose entity as defined in SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities”(ASC Topic 860, Transfers and Services), and accordingly, the Company does not consolidate this entity pursuant to FASB Interpretation No. 46R, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (ASC Topic 810, Consolidation). For the three and six months ended April 3, 2010, the Company sold $37.4 million and $60.8 million, respectively, under these programs, for which the Company received proceeds of $35.5 million and $57.7 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended March 28, 2009, the Company sold $42.4 million under these programs, for which the Company received proceeds of $40.2 million. As of April 3, 2010, $37.4 million of sold receivables were outstanding. The Global Receivables Program will expire on June 26, 2010.

In accordance with SFAS No. 140 (ASC Topic 860), accounts receivable sold are removed from the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets and the proceeds from such sales are included as cash provided by operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Note 13. Subsequent Events

On April 26, 2010, the Company executed a definitive agreement to acquire BreconRidge Corporation, an innovative design, engineering and manufacturing services provider for RF/microwave and micro/opto-electronic products that service the networking/communications, medical, industrial, aerospace and defense markets. The agreement is subject to certain customary closing conditions and is expected to close in approximately 30 days.

The purchase price is expected to be approximately $34 million in cash, of which half will be paid upon closing and the remainder will be paid within 18 months of closing. Additionally, the Company will assume approximately $20 million of BreconRidge Corporation’s debt upon closing.

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 the risks and uncertainties contained in or incorporated from Part II, Item 1A of this report. As a result, actual results could vary materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements. 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, enterprise computing and storage, multimedia, industrial and semiconductor capital equipment, defense and aerospace, medical and automotive industries.

Since late in 2008, the business environment has been challenging due to adverse global economic conditions. These conditions slowed global economic growth and resulted in recessions in many countries, including the U.S., Europe and certain countries in Asia. These conditions materially and adversely impacted our financial condition and results of operations for fiscal 2008 and 2009. Although these conditions have improved recently, many of the industries to which we provide products have experienced significant financial difficulty. Such significant financial difficulty, if experienced by one or more of our customers, may negatively affect our business due to the decreased demand from these financially distressed customers, the potential inability of these companies to make full payment on amounts owed to us, or both.

We operate on a 52 or 53-week year ending on the Saturday nearest to September 30. Fiscal 2010 will be a 52-week year, whereas fiscal 2009 was a 53-week year, with the extra week in the fourth fiscal quarter. All references to years relate to fiscal years unless otherwise noted.

A relatively small number of customers have historically generated a significant portion of our net sales. Sales to our ten largest customers represented 50.3% and 50.5% of our net sales for the three and six months ended April 3, 2010, respectively. Sales to our ten largest customers represented 51.2% and 49.1% of our net sales for the three and six months ended March 28, 2009, respectively. Additionally, one customer represented 13.0% and 12.5% of our net sales for the three and six months ended April 3, 2010, respectively. No customer represented more than 10% of our net sales for the three or six months ended March 28, 2009.

 
26

 
 
A significant portion of our manufacturing is performed in international locations. Sales derived from products manufactured in international operations during the three months ended April 3, 2010 and March 28, 2009 were 77.5% and 76.1%, respectively, of our total net sales. During the six months ended April 3, 2010 and March 28, 2009, 78.5% and 76.1%, respectively, of our total net sales were derived from non-U.S. operations. The concentration of international operations has resulted from a desire on the part of many of our customers to source production in lower cost locations such as Asia and Latin America. We expect this trend to continue.

Historically, we have had substantial recurring sales to existing customers. We generally do not obtain firm, long-term commitments from our customers. Orders are placed by our customers using purchase orders, some of which are governed by supply agreements. 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.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management’s 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 of America. 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, envir
