                              SANMINA CORPORATION

              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Sanmina
Corporation ("Sanmina") have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations
of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or
omitted pursuant to those rules or regulations. The interim financial statements
are unaudited, but reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary for a fair presentation. All adjustments are of a normal
recurring nature.

     The results of operations for the three months ended December 30, 2000 are
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending September 29, 2001. These condensed consolidated financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto
for the year ended September 30, 2000, included in Sanmina's annual report on
Form 10-K.

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.

     Sanmina's fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest September 30. All
general references to years relate to fiscal years unless otherwise noted.

NOTE 2 -- PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Sanmina and
its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have
been eliminated.

NOTE 3 -- COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

     SFAS No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income" establishes standards for
reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components. SFAS No. 130
requires companies to report a "comprehensive income" that includes unrealized
holding gains and losses and other items that have previously been excluded from
net income and reflected instead in stockholders' equity. Comprehensive income
for Sanmina consists of net income plus the effect of unrealized holding gains
or losses on investments classified as available-for-sale and foreign currency
translation adjustments. For the three months ended December 30, 2000, the
unrealized holding gain on investments and foreign currency translation
adjustment were $859,000 and $1.8 million, respectively. For the three months
ended January 1, 2000, the unrealized holding loss on investments and foreign
currency translation adjustment were $485,000 and $431,000, respectively.
Comprehensive income for the three months ended December 30, 2000 and January 1,
2000 was approximately $113.4 million and $41.9 million, respectively.

NOTE 5 -- EARNINGS PER SHARE ("EPS")

     Basic EPS was computed by dividing net income by the weighted average
number of shares of common stock outstanding during the first quarter of fiscal
2001 and 2000. Diluted EPS for the first quarter of fiscal 2001 and 2000
includes dilutive common stock equivalents using the treasury stock method, and
assumes that the convertible debt instruments were converted into common stock,
if dilutive. Reconciliations of the net income and weighted average number of
shares used for the diluted earnings per share computations for the first
quarter of fiscal 2001 and 2000 are as follows (in thousands, except per share
amounts):

NOTE 6 -- COMMITMENTS

     In fiscal 1999, Sanmina entered into an operating lease agreement for a new
corporate headquarters and new facilities for its principal Northern California
assembly facilities. This campus facility, which comprises approximately 330,000
square feet, is located in San Jose, California. A condition of this operating
lease is that Sanmina pledges $52.9 million to the administrative agent until
the end of the lease's initial term. Sanmina has classified this amount as a
long term investment in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

NOTE 8 -- STOCK SPLIT

     On December 13, 2000, Sanmina announced that its Board of Directors had
approved a two-for-one stock split payable in the form of a 100 percent stock
dividend. This stock split was effective for shareholders of record on December
18, 2000, and certificates reflecting the stock split were issued on January 8,
2001. Share and per share data have been retroactively adjusted to give effect
to the split.

NOTE 9 -- BUSINESS SEGMENT AND CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

     Sanmina adopted SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise
and Related Information," during fiscal 1999. SFAS No. 131 established standards
for reporting information about operating segments in annual financial
statements and requires selected information about operating segments in interim
financial reports issued to stockholders. It also established standards for
related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major
customers. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about
which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by
the chief operating decision makers, or decision making group, in deciding how
to allocate resources and in assessing performance.

     Sanmina's chief operating decision maker is the Chief Operating Officer.
Based on the evaluation of financial information by the Chief Operating Officer,
management currently believes that Sanmina operates in two geographic segments,
domestic (U.S.A.) and international operations. Revenues are attributable to the
country in which the product is manufactured. During the three months ended
December 30, 2000 and January 1, 2000, there were no material assets or revenues
from any individual foreign country. Each segment manufactures, tests and
services a full spectrum of complex printed circuit boards, custom backplane
interconnect devices, electronic assembly services and integrated enclosure
systems. The chief operating decision maker evaluates performance based upon
each segment's operating income. Operating income is defined as income before
interest income or interest expense and taxes.

     Although Sanmina seeks to diversify its customer base, a small number of
customers are responsible for a significant portion of Sanmina's net sales.
During the three months ended December 30, 2000 and January 1,

2000, sales to Sanmina's ten largest customers accounted for 55.9% and 54.1%
respectively, of Sanmina's net sales. In the three months ended December 30,
2000 and January 1, 2000, Sanmina's only customer over 10% represented 11.5% and
14.2% of net sales, respectively.

NOTE 10 -- RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     In June 1999, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 137,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities -- Deferral of the
Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133," which amends SFAS No. 133 to be
effective for all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. SFAS No. 133
establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that every derivative
instrument be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability
measured at its fair value. The statement also requires that changes in the
derivative's fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific
hedge accounting criteria are met. The adoption of SFAS No. 133 in the first
quarter of fiscal 2001 did not have a material impact on Sanmina's financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.

     In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued SAB No.
101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements," which will be effective for
Sanmina in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001. Sanmina is currently analyzing
this statement and management does not expect the adoption of this statement to
have a material effect on its results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 11 -- SUBSEQUENT EVENT

     On January 26, 2001, Sanmina announced its intention to acquire all of the
shares of AB Segerstrom & Svensson (a company listed on the OM Stockholm
Exchange), a leading global supplier of integrated enclosure systems to the
communications sector. The transaction will be accounted for as a pooling of
interests. The total purchase price is approximately $511 million. The

conditions, is expected to close March 2001. Principal closing conditions
include acceptance of the offer by the holders of at least 90% of Segerstrom &
Svensson's outstanding shares and receipt of necessary regulatory approvals and
clearances, including clearance by the European Commission. The European
Commission clearance is similar to the United States Hart-Scott-Rodino
pretransaction notification process.

     The consideration for the shares and convertible debentures in Segerstrom &
Svensson will be made in shares in Sanmina. The number of Sanmina shares offered
for each share and for each convertible debenture of Segerstrom & Svensson has
been determined by a measurement period that started and included January 23,
2001 and ended and included January 30, 2001. The average share price of Sanmina
during the measurement period, based on the closing prices on NASDAQ National
Market, was $49.6146. The shareholders and holders of convertible debentures in
Segerstrom & Svensson will receive 0.38149 Sanmina shares for each share and
convertible debenture of Segerstrom & Svensson for a total approximate value of
$511 million.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

     Sanmina Corporation ("Sanmina") was incorporated in Delaware in May 1989 to
acquire its predecessor company, which had been in the printed circuit board and
backplane business since 1980. Sanmina is a leading independent provider of
customized integrated electronic manufacturing services ("EMS"), including
turnkey electronic assembly and manufacturing management services, to original
equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") in the electronics industry. Sanmina's
electronic manufacturing services consist primarily of the design and
manufacture of complex printed circuit board assemblies using surface mount
("SMT") and pin-through hole ("PTH") interconnection technologies, the
manufacture of custom designed backplane assemblies, fabrication of complex
multi-layered printed circuit boards, metal stamping and plating, electronic
enclosure systems, subsystem assembly, testing, and assembly of completed
systems and direct order fulfillment. In addition to assembly, turnkey
manufacturing management also involves procurement and materials management, as
well as consultation on printed circuit board design and manufacturing. Sanmina
also manufactures custom cable and wire harness assemblies.

     Sanmina has 55 facilities and 10 global technology solution centers,
located both domestically and internationally. Sanmina has assembly,
fabrication, enclosure, cable, other and global technology solution centers;
domestically in Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Massachusetts, New
Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, Texas, Utah and Wisconsin; and
internationally in Canada, China, Finland, France, Ireland, Malaysia, Mexico and
Sweden.

     In addition to the above facilities, Sanmina has a 49.9% ownership interest
in INBOARD, a wholly owned subsidiary of Siemens AG. INBOARD is a manufacturer
of complex printed circuit boards, with a facility in Germany.

     Sanmina's results of operations have varied and may continue to fluctuate
significantly from period to period, including on a quarterly basis. Sanmina's
operating results are affected by a number of factors. These factors include
timing of orders from major customers, mix of product ordered by and shipped to
major customers, the volume of orders as related to Sanmina's capacity, the
ability of Sanmina to effectively manage inventory and fixed assets, pricing and
competitive pressures, component shortages, which could cause Sanmina to be
unable to meet customer delivery schedules, and the ability of Sanmina to time
expenditures in anticipation of future sales. Sanmina's results are also
affected by the mix of products between backplane assemblies and printed circuit
boards. Sanmina's results are also affected by general economic conditions in
the electronics industry. Sanmina's results can also be significantly influenced
by development and introduction of new products by Sanmina's customers. From
time to time, Sanmina experiences changes in the volume of sales to each of its
principal customers, and operating results may be affected on a period-to-period
basis by these changes. Sanmina's customers generally require short delivery
cycles, and a substantial portion of Sanmina's backlog is typically scheduled
for delivery within six months. Quarterly sales and operating results therefore
depend in large part on the volume and timing of bookings received during the
quarter, which are difficult to forecast.

     Sanmina's backlog also affects its ability to plan production and inventory
levels, which could lead to fluctuations in operating results. In addition, a
significant portion of Sanmina's operating expenses are relatively fixed in
nature and planned expenditures are based in part on anticipated orders. Any
inability to adjust spending quickly enough to compensate for any revenue
shortfall may magnify the adverse impact of such revenue shortfall on Sanmina's
results of operations. Results of operations in any period should not be
considered indicative of the results to be expected for any future period. In
addition, fluctuations in operating results may also result in fluctuations in
the price of Sanmina's convertible subordinated notes and Common Stock.

     Sanmina's customers include a diversified base of OEMs in the
communications (telecommunications and networking), industrial and medical
instrumentation and high-speed computer systems sectors of the

                                        9
   12

electronics industry. These industry sectors, and the electronics industry as a
whole, are subject to rapid technological change and product obsolescence.
Discontinuance or modification of products being manufactured by Sanmina could
adversely affect Sanmina's results of operations. The electronics industry is
also subject to economic cycles and has in the past experienced, and is likely
in the future to experience, recessionary periods. From time to time the EMS
industry experiences increases and decreases in demand as a result of the
economy. These changes in demand and in economic conditions may result in
customer rescheduling of orders and shipments, which could affect Sanmina's
future results of operations. A general recession in the electronics industry
could have a material adverse effect on Sanmina's business, financial condition
and results of operations. In addition, Sanmina has no firm long-term volume
commitments from its customers and over the last few years has experienced
reduced lead-time in customer orders. In addition, customer orders can be
canceled and volume levels can be changed or delayed. The timely replacement of
canceled, delayed or reduced orders with new business cannot be assured. There
can be no assurance that any of Sanmina's current customers will continue to use
Sanmina's manufacturing services. The loss of one or more of Sanmina's principal
customers, or reductions in sales to any of such customers, could have a
material adverse effect on Sanmina's business, financial condition and results
of operations.

     Sanmina has pursued, and intends to continue to pursue, business
acquisition opportunities, particularly when these opportunities have the
potential to enable Sanmina to increase its net sales while maintaining
operating margin, to access new geographic markets, to implement Sanmina's
vertical integration strategy and/or obtain facilities and equipment on terms
more favorable than those generally available in the market. Acquisitions of
companies and businesses and expansion of operations involves certain risks,
including (i) the potential inability to successfully integrate acquired
operations and businesses or to realize anticipated synergies, economies of
scale or other value, (ii) diversion of management's attention, (iii)
difficulties in scaling up productions at new sites and coordinating management
of operations at new sites and (iv) loss of key employees of acquired
operations. No assurance can be given that Sanmina will not incur problems with
integrating acquired operations, and there can be no assurance that Sanmina's
recent acquisitions, or any future acquisition will result in a positive
contribution to Sanmina's results of operations. Furthermore, there can be no
assurance that Sanmina will realize value from any such acquisition which equals
or exceeds the consideration paid. In addition, there can be no assurance that
Sanmina will realize anticipated strategic and other benefits from expansion of
existing operations to new sites. Any such problems could have a material
adverse effect on Sanmina's business, financial condition and results of
operations. In addition, future acquisitions may result in dilutive issuances of
equity securities, the incurrence of additional debt, large one-time write-offs
and the creation of goodwill or other intangible assets that could result in
amortization expense.

     In addition, Sanmina expects to pursue opportunities to acquire assembly
operations being divested by electronics industry OEMs. Sanmina expects that
competition for these opportunities among electronics manufacturing services
firms will be intense because these transactions typically enable the acquiror
to enter into long-term supply arrangements with the divesting OEM. Accordingly,
Sanmina's future results of operations could be adversely affected if Sanmina is
not successful in attracting a significant portion of the OEM divestiture
transactions it pursues. In addition, due to the large scale and long-term
nature of supply arrangements typically entered into in OEM divestiture
transactions and because cost reductions are generally a major reason why the
OEM is divesting operations, pricing of manufacturing services may be less
favorable to the manufacturer than in standard contractual relationships.
Accordingly, as Sanmina enters into new OEM divestiture transactions, Sanmina
may experience erosion in gross margins.

     Sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2001 increased by 82.1% to $1.4
billion from $763.7 million in the corresponding quarter of the prior year. The
increase in net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2001 was due primarily to
increased shipments of EMS assemblies to both existing and new customers
obtained both through acquisitions and internal growth. Growth in EMS assembly
revenues during these periods was influenced by the electronics industry trend
towards outsourcing, expansion of Sanmina's operations, both through
acquisitions and internally-originated expansions, and a generally positive
economic environment in the communications, medical and industrial
instrumentation, and high-speed computer segments of the electronics industry.
These industry sectors continued to experience overall growth during these
periods.

     Gross margin increased from 15.7% in the first quarter of fiscal 2000 to
17.7% in the first quarter of fiscal 2001. Sanmina expects gross margins to
continue to fluctuate based on the mix of products ordered by and shipped to
major customers. The increase in gross margins for the first quarter was
primarily attributable to improved mix and capacity utilization from printed
circuit boards and assembly operations from acquired companies. This increase
was offset partially by pricing terms negotiated as part of OEM divestiture
transactions. Due to increased competition, changes in product and customer mix,
and pricing terms negotiated as part of OEM divestiture transactions, Sanmina
may continue to experience fluctuations in gross margins.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased from $42.6 million
in the first quarter of fiscal 2000 to $68.9 million in the first quarter of
fiscal 2001. The absolute dollar increase in selling and general and
administrative expenses was primarily the result of increased expenditures to
support higher sales volume. Sanmina anticipates that operating expenses will
continue to increase in absolute dollars due to projected additions to the sales
force and other administrative expenditures to support higher sales volume.
However, operating expenses as a percentage of sales are anticipated to remain
relatively constant or decrease depending upon sales volume and Sanmina's
ability to achieve expected operating synergies as a result of the integration
of acquired businesses.

     Amortization expense increased from $5.0 million in the first quarter of
fiscal 2000 to $6.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2001. These
amortization expenses reflect the amortization of intangibles and goodwill
related to those acquisitions which were accounted for as purchase transactions.

     For the first quarter of fiscal 2001, Sanmina reported net other income of
$7.8 million compared to net other expense of $4.9 million for the corresponding
quarter of last year. The components of other income and expense, comprising the
overall net income or expense, are primarily interest expense on borrowings and
convertible subordinated notes and interest income on cash balances and
short-term investments. For the first quarter of fiscal 2001, the increase in
net other income was largely due to interest received from additional cash flow
from operations and higher cash balances.

     Sanmina's provision for income taxes for the first quarter of fiscal 2001
is based upon Sanmina's estimate of the effective tax rate for fiscal 2001 of
38.0%. For the first quarter of fiscal 2000, the effective tax rate was
estimated at 36.2%.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments as of December 30, 2000
were $1.2 billion as compared to $1.3 billion at September 30, 2000. For the
first quarter of fiscal 2001, cash provided by operations was $27.1 million,
which was primarily due to net income and activity in balance sheet accounts.
Working capital increased to $2.0 billion as of December 30, 2000 compared to
$1.9 billion at September 30, 2000. This increase was primarily due to increases
in receivables and inventories.

     Net cash used for investing activities for the first three months of fiscal
2001 primarily related to the purchase of property, plant, and equipment of
$63.0 million and short and long-term investments of $68.8 million. These
payments were offset by $72.0 million in maturities of short-term investments.

     Net cash provided by financing activities for the first three months of
fiscal year 2001 was related to the proceeds from the sale of common stock upon
exercise of stock options of $10.1 million offset by net payments of long-term
liabilities of $3.8 million.

     In fiscal 1999, Sanmina has entered into an operating lease agreement for
new facilities in San Jose, California which houses its corporate headquarters
and certain assembly operations. In connection with these transactions, Sanmina
pledged $52.9 million of its cash and investments as collateral for certain
obligations of the lease.

     Sanmina's future needs for financial resources include increases in working
capital to support anticipated sales growth and investment in manufacturing
facilities and equipment. Working capital was $2.0 billion at December 30, 2000.
Sanmina has evaluated and will continue to evaluate possible business
acquisitions. In this regard, Sanmina anticipates incurring additional
expenditures during fiscal 2001 in connection with the integrations of its
recently acquired businesses and expenditures associated with the anticipated
growth.

     Sanmina believes that its existing cash resources, together with cash
generated from operations, will be sufficient to meet its working capital
requirements through at least the next 12 months. Sanmina may seek to raise
additional capital through the issuance of either debt or equity securities.
Debt financing may require Sanmina to pledge assets as collateral and comply
with financial ratios and covenants. Equity financing may result in dilution to
stockholders.

EFFECT OF RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     In June 1999, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 137,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities -- Deferral of the
Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133," which amends SFAS No. 133 to be
effective for all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. SFAS No. 133
establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that every derivative
instrument be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability
measured at its fair value. The statement also requires that changes in the
derivative's fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific
hedge accounting criteria are met. The adoption of SFAS No. 133 in the first
quarter of fiscal 2001 did not have a material impact on Sanmina's financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.

     In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued SAB No.
101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements," which will be effective for
Sanmina in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001.

                                       12

Sanmina is currently analyzing this statement and management does not expect the
adoption of this statement to have a material effect on its results of
operations or cash flows.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

     There has not been a material change in our exposure to interest rate and
foreign currency risks since the date of our report on form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended September 30, 2000.

     Interest Rate Risk

     Sanmina's exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relate
primarily to Sanmina's investment portfolio. Currently, Sanmina does not use
derivative financial instruments in its investment portfolio. Sanmina invests in
high credit quality issuers and, by policy, limits the amount of principal
exposure to any one issuer. As stated in Sanmina's policy, Sanmina seeks to
ensure the safety and preservation of its invested principal funds by limiting
default and market risk.

     Sanmina seeks to mitigate default risk by investing in high-credit quality
securities and by positioning its investment portfolio to respond to a
significant reduction in a credit rating of any investment issuer, guarantor or
depository. Sanmina seeks to mitigate market risk by limiting the principal and
investment term of funds held with any one issuer and by investing funds in
marketable securities with active secondary or resale markets.

     The table below presents carrying amounts and related average interest
rates by year of maturity for Sanmina's investment portfolio as of December 30,
2000 (in thousands):



                                                          YEAR ENDED

Cash equivalents,
  short-term, and long-term
  investments..............  $689,061    $81,475    --      --      --        $1,081      $771,617
Average interest rate......       6.3%       7.1%   --      --      --           5.8%          6.4%


     Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

     Sanmina transacts business in foreign countries. Sanmina's primary foreign
currency cash flows are in certain European countries, Canada and Asia. Sanmina
enters into foreign exchange contracts to hedge certain of its assets and
liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. At December 30, 2000, Sanmina had
forward contracts to exchange various foreign currencies for U.S. dollars in the
gross amount of $27.4 million. Market value gains and losses on forward exchange
contracts are recognized as offsets to the exchange gains and losses on the
hedged transactions.
