            which Annual Report contains audited financial statements for the
            fiscal year ended March 31, 2001;

        (b) the Registrant's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal

            Exchange Act; and

        All documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections

post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities registered hereby
have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall
be deemed to be incorporated by reference herein and to be a part hereof from
the date of the filing of such documents.

ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.

        Not Applicable.

ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.

        Not Applicable.

ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

        Article 155 of the Flextronics articles provides that, subject to the
Singapore Companies Act, every director or other officer shall be entitled to be
indemnified by Flextronics against all liabilities incurred by him in the
execution and discharge of his duties or in relation thereto, including any
liability in defending any proceedings, civil or criminal, which relate to
anything done or omitted or alleged to have been done or omitted by him as an
officer or employee of Flextronics and in which judgment is given in his favor,
or the proceedings otherwise disposed of without finding or admission of any
material breach of duty; in which he is acquitted; or in connection with any
application under any statute for relief from liability for any act or omission
in which relief is granted to him by the court.

        In addition, no director or other officer shall be liable for the acts,
receipts, neglects or defaults of any other director or officer, joining in any
receipt or other act for conformity, or for any loss or expense happening to
Flextronics, through the insufficiency or deficiency of title to any property
acquired by order of the directors for Flextronics or for the insufficiency or
deficiency of any security upon which any of the moneys of Flextronics are
invested or for any loss or damage arising from the bankruptcy, insolvency or
tortious act of any person with whom any moneys, securities or effects are
deposited, or any other loss or misfortune which happens in the execution of his
duties, unless the same happens through his own negligence, willful default,
breach of duty or breach of trust.

        Section 172 of the Companies Act prohibits a company from indemnifying
its directors or officers against liability which by law would otherwise attach
to them for any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust of which
they may be guilty relating to the company. However, a company is not prohibited
from (a) purchasing and maintaining for any such officer insurance against any
such liability except where the liability arises out of conduct involving
dishonesty or a willful breach of duty, or (b) indemnifying such officer against
any liability incurred by him in defending any proceedings, whether civil or
criminal, in which judgment is given in his


<PAGE>   3

favor or in which he is acquitted, or in connection with any application in
relation to liability in which relief is granted to him by the court.


        Flextronics has entered into indemnification agreements with its
officers and directors. These indemnification agreements provide Flextronics'
officers and directors with indemnification to the maximum extent permitted by
the Companies Act. Flextronics has also obtained a policy of directors' and
officers' liability insurance that will insure directors and officers against
the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment under certain
circumstances which are permitted under the Companies Act.

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS.

        The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

        (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made,
            a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

            (i)     To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of
                    the Securities Act;

            (ii)    To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
                    after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or
                    the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
                    individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental
                    change in the information set forth in the Registration
                    Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or
                    decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total
                    dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that
                    which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high
                    end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected
                    in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant
                    to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume
                    and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the
                    maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the
                    "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective
                    Registration Statement; and

            (iii)   To include any material information with respect to the plan
                    of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration
                    Statement or any material change to such information in the
                    Registration Statement;

        provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) above do not apply
if the Registration Statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3, and the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the
Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act
that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.

        (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
            Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed
            to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
            offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
            shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

        (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
            any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
            termination of the offering.

        The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange
Act that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement


<PAGE>   5

relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

        Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the provisions discussed in Item 6 hereof, or otherwise,
the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered hereby, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by
the final adjudication of such issue.

        (a) the Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
            ended March 31, 2001, filed pursuant to Section 13(a) of the
            Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"),
            which Annual Report contains audited financial statements for the
            fiscal year ended March 31, 2001;

        (b) the Registrant's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal
            quarter ended June 30, 2001 filed pursuant to Section 13(a) of the
            Exchange Act; and

        (c) the description of the Registrant's Ordinary Shares contained in the
            Registrant's registration statement on Form 8-A filed with the
            Commission under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act.

        All documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections
13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act, prior to the filing of a
post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities registered hereby
have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall
be deemed to be incorporated by reference herein and to be a part hereof from
the date of the filing of such documents.

ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.

        Not Applicable.

ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.

        Not Applicable.

ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

        Article 155 of the Flextronics articles provides that, subject to the
Singapore Companies Act, every director or other officer shall be entitled to be
indemnified by Flextronics against all liabilities incurred by him in the
execution and discharge of his duties or in relation thereto, including any
liability in defending any proceedings, civil or criminal, which relate to
anything done or omitted or alleged to have been done or omitted by him as an
officer or employee of Flextronics and in which judgment is given in his favor,
or the proceedings otherwise disposed of without finding or admission of any
material breach of duty; in which he is acquitted; or in connection with any
application under any statute for relief from liability for any act or omission
in which relief is granted to him by the court.

        In addition, no director or other officer shall be liable for the acts,
receipts, neglects or defaults of any other director or officer, joining in any
receipt or other act for conformity, or for any loss or expense happening to
Flextronics, through the insufficiency or deficiency of title to any property
acquired by order of the directors for Flextronics or for the insufficiency or
deficiency of any security upon which any of the moneys of Flextronics are
invested or for any loss or damage arising from the bankruptcy, insolvency or
tortious act of any person with whom any moneys, securities or effects are
deposited, or any other loss or misfortune which happens in the execution of his
duties, unless the same happens through his own negligence, willful default,
breach of duty or breach of trust.

        Section 172 of the Companies Act prohibits a company from indemnifying
its directors or officers against liability which by law would otherwise attach
to them for any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust of which
they may be guilty relating to the company. However, a company is not prohibited
from (a) purchasing and maintaining for any such officer insurance against any
such liability except where the liability arises out of conduct involving
dishonesty or a willful breach of duty, or (b) indemnifying such officer against
any liability incurred by him in defending any proceedings, whether civil or
criminal, in which judgment is given in his
3

favor or in which he is acquitted, or in connection with any application in
relation to liability in which relief is granted to him by the court.

        Flextronics has entered into indemnification agreements with its
officers and directors. These indemnification agreements provide Flextronics'
officers and directors with indemnification to the maximum extent permitted by
the Companies Act. Flextronics has also obtained a policy of directors' and
officers' liability insurance that will insure directors and officers against
the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment under certain
circumstances which are permitted under the Companies Act.

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS.

        The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

        (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made,
            a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

            (i)     To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of
                    the Securities Act;

            (ii)    To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
                    after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or
                    the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
                    individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental
                    change in the information set forth in the Registration
                    Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or
                    decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total
                    dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that
                    which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high
                    end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected
                    in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant
                    to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume
                    and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the
                    maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the
                    "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective
                    Registration Statement; and

            (iii)   To include any material information with respect to the plan
                    of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration
                    Statement or any material change to such information in the
                    Registration Statement;

        provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) above do not apply
if the Registration Statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3, and the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the
Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act
that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.

        (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
            Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed
            to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
            offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
            shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

        (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
            any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
            termination of the offering.

        The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange
Act that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement
5

relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

        Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the provisions discussed in Item 6 hereof, or otherwise,
the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered hereby, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by
the final adjudication of such issue.
