Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

     On September 1, 2006, Flextronics International Ltd. (the “Company”) completed the previously announced sale of its software development and solutions business to Software Development Group (“SDG”), an affiliate of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. (“KKR”). The sale was consummated under the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 13, 2006 (the “Share Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company received $688.5 million in cash (subject to post-closing working capital adjustments) and an eight-year $250.0 million face value promissory note with a paid-in-kind interest coupon at a yearly rate of 10.5% initially and 12.05% after the second year. The Company also retained a 15% equity stake in the business through an approximate 15% ownership interest in SDG.

     Mr. Michael E. Marks, who is the Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors, is also a member of KKR, which he joined on January 1, 2006 following his retirement as Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The purchase price for the sale was determined through arms’ length negotiations, and the independent committee of the Board of Directors of the Company received a fairness opinion from Merrill Lynch & Co. in connection with its review of the transaction.

     This description of the transaction is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by the complete text of the Share Purchase Agreement, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on April 19, 2006 and is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.01. A copy of the press release announcing the completion of the sale is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.01.

Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits

(a) Financial Statements of Business Acquired

     Not applicable.

(b) Pro Forma Financial Information

     The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet is based upon and should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto of the Company.

     The results of operations of the software development and solutions business had been classified as a discontinued operation for all periods presented in the audited historical consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended March 31, 2006, and in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as of and for the three months ended June 30, 2006, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS 144”). Accordingly, there are no pro forma adjustments to continuing operations necessary to reflect the Company’s sale of its software development and solutions business, and as such, the Company has not included a pro forma statement of operations in this Item 9.01(b).

     The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of June 30, 2006 gives effect to the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Share Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, the Company sold certain subsidiaries engaged in the Company’s software development and solutions business, including the Company’s India-based subsidiary, Flextronics Software Systems Limited (formerly known as Hughes Software Systems Limited) to an affiliate of KKR. In accordance with SFAS 144, the assets and liabilities of the software development and solutions business were classified as “discontinued operations” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2006 in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2006 in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

     The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2006 has been prepared as if the sale of the software development and solutions business had been consummated on June 30, 2006 and is based upon currently available information, estimates and assumptions that are deemed appropriate by the Company’s management. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet may be subject to adjustments based on the actual carrying value of net assets sold at the date of closing, completion of third-party valuations, among other considerations, and is not necessarily indicative of the results that would have been reported had such transaction actually occurred on the date specified, nor is it necessarily indicative of our future financial condition.

     The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet is prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, and is based on and should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by, the historical consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of the Company.
