AMENDMENT DATED OCTOBER 20, 1997 TO CURRENT REPORT
ON FORM 8-K FILED AUGUST 11, 1997
ITEM 4: CHANGE IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.
(a) On August 1, 1997, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors
of Flextronics International Ltd. (the "Company") approved the
engagement of Arthur Andersen LLP, San Jose, California as
independent public accountants to audit and report on the financial
statements of the Company and its subsidiaries for the year ended
March 31, 1998. This change is related to the Company's shift of
certain financial reporting functions and the Company's audit
relationship to San Jose. On August 4, 1997, the Company informed the
firm of Ernst & Young, which had been serving as independent public
accountants for the Company, of its desire to have Arthur Andersen LLP
succeed Ernst & Young as the Company's independent accountants. On
August 5, 1997, Ernst & Young advised the Company that it will not
seek re-election at the Company's next Annual General Meeting. On
October 14, 1997, the shareholders of the Company approved the
Company's nomination of Arthur Andersen LLP as the Company's
independent public accountants at the Company's Annual General
Meeting.
(b) In connection with its audits for the two most recent years, and
through October 14, 1997, there have been no reportable events or
disagreements with Ernst & Young on any matter of accounting
principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing
scope or procedure.
(c) Ernst & Young's report on the financial statements for the past two
years contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and was not
qualified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
(d) During the two most recent fiscal years, Arthur Andersen LLP, the new
independent accountants of the Company has not been consulted
regarding: (1) the application of accounting principles to a specified
transaction, either completed or proposed; (2) the type of audit
opinion that might be rendered on the Company's financial statements;
or (3) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement or a
reportable event.
