NOTE 1 - Basis of Presentation

      The  accompanying  consolidated balance sheets as  of  May  31,  1995
(unaudited)  and August 31, 1994, the unaudited consolidated statements  of
income  for the three-month and nine-month periods ended May 31,  1995  and
1994, and the unaudited consolidated statements of cash flows for the  nine
months ended May 31, 1995 and 1994 have been prepared on substantially  the
same  basis  as  the annual consolidated financial statements.   Management
believes the financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting  only
of  normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of  the
financial  position,  operating results and  cash  flows  for  the  periods
presented.   The  results of operations for the three-month and  nine-month
periods ended May 31, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of results to  be
expected  for  the  entire year.  These consolidated  financial  statements
should  be  read in conjunction with the consolidated financial  statements
and  notes  thereto  for the year ended August 31,  1994  included  in  the
Company's Annual Report to Shareholders.

      For  clarity  of  presentation, the Company has indicated  its  third
quarter  as  ending on May 31 and its fiscal year as ending on  August  31,
whereas in fact, the Company's fiscal periods end on the last Friday of the
respective month.

subordinated notes.



                  SOLECTRON CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

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

General

      Solectron's  net  sales are derived from sales to electronics  system
original  equipment manufacturers.  The majority of the Company's customers
compete  in  the telecommunications, computer peripherals, workstation  and
personal  computer segments of the electronics industry.  The Company  uses
advanced   manufacturing   technologies  in  assembly   and   manufacturing
management of complex printed circuit boards and electronics systems.

      Operating results are affected by a number of factors, including  the
degree  of  turnkey  manufacturing, the  material  content  and  volume  of
products built, manufacturing efficiencies, utilization of capacity, start-
up costs associated with new customer projects and price competition.  Over
the  past  several years, the Company's strategy has been to  increase  the
percentage of sales it derives from turnkey manufacturing, which  currently
represents a substantial portion of the Company's sales.  Turnkey projects,
in  which the Company procures some or all of the components necessary  for
production,  typically generate higher net sales and higher  gross  profits
with  lower gross margin percentages than consignment projects due  to  the
inclusion  in the Company's operating results of sales and costs associated
with the purchase and sale of components.  The increase in gross profit and
the  decrease  in  gross margin over the past several years  has  been  due
primarily  to this shift toward turnkey manufacturing.  More recently,  the
Company  has  assembled products with varying degrees of material  content,
which has caused the Company's gross margin to fluctuate.  In addition, the
degree  of  startup costs and inefficiencies associated with  new  customer
projects has affected the Company's gross margin.

      The  Company has manufacturing operations in six locations, three  of
which  are  overseas.  Additionally, on May 29, 1995, the Company announced
that  it  signed  a  memorandum of understanding with Hewlett-Packard  GmbH
(HP),  a  subsidiary  of Hewlett-Packard Company, to acquire  HP's  printed
circuit  assembly  operation in Boeblingen, Germany.  This  transaction  is
expected  to  close  in November, 1995.  Completion of the  transaction  is
subject  to the negotiation and signing of definitive agreements, including
an  assembly  purchase agreement with certain purchase commitments.   There
can  be  no assurance the transaction will close in a timely manner  or  at
all.    As   the  Company  manages  its  existing  operations  and  expands
geographically,   it  may  experience  certain  inefficiencies   from   the
management  of  geographically  dispersed  operations.   In  addition,  the
Company's  results of operations will be adversely affected  if  these  new
facilities  do  not achieve revenue growth sufficient to  offset  increased
expenditures associated with geographic expansion.

     Around the world, the Company is subject to a variety of environmental
regulations  relating  to  the  use, storage,  discharge  and  disposal  of
hazardous chemicals used during its manufacturing process.  Any failure  by
the Company to comply with present and future regulations could subject  it
to  future liabilities or the suspension of production.  In addition,  such
regulations  could restrict the Company's ability to expand its  facilities
or  could require the Company to acquire costly equipment or to incur other
significant expenses to comply with environmental regulations.

      The  Company  competes within the electronics manufacturing  services
(EMS)  segment of the electronics industry.  The EMS segment  is  currently
growing at a faster rate than the overall electronics industry, but the EMS
segment is also comprised of a large number of companies, several of  which
have  achieved  substantial market share.  In addition  to  competing  with
other  EMS  companies, the Company also faces competition from current  and
prospective  customers which evaluate Solectron's capabilities against  the
merits  of  manufacturing products internally.  Certain  of  the  Company's
competitors have substantially greater geographic breadth.  They  also  may
have  greater  manufacturing,  financial,  research  and  development   and
marketing  resources  than  the Company.  The  Company  believes  that  the
primary  basis  of  competition in its targeted  markets  is  manufacturing
technology, quality, responsiveness, the provision of value-added  services
and  price.   To remain competitive, the Company must continue  to  provide
technologically  advanced manufacturing services, maintain quality  levels,
offer  flexible delivery schedules, deliver finished products on a reliable
basis  and  compete favorably on the basis of price.  The Company currently
may  be  at  a  competitive  disadvantage as  to  price  when  compared  to
manufacturers  with  lower cost structures, particularly  with  respect  to
manufacturers with established facilities where labor costs are lower.

     Net sales for the three months and nine months ended May 31, 1995 were
$517  million  and $1.495 billion, respectively, representing increases  of
42%  and 47% over the comparable periods last fiscal year.  These increases
in net sales are due primarily to increased orders from existing customers,
the addition of new customers and growth in the Company's turnkey business.
The  overall  increase  in net sales reflects the continuing  trend  toward
outsourcing within the electronics industry.

      The  Company's two largest customers during the first nine months  of
fiscal  1995  were  International Business Machines Corporation  (IBM)  and
Apple  Computer,  Inc.  (Apple).   Net sales  to  IBM  during  this  period
accounted  for 22% of consolidated net sales, compared to 30% in the  first
nine  months  of  fiscal  1994.  Sales to  Apple  were  less  than  10%  of
consolidated net sales in the first nine months of fiscal 1995, compared to
11%  for  the  comparable period of fiscal 1994.  While net sales  to  both
customers  increased  in absolute amounts during fiscal  1995  compared  to
fiscal 1994, the Company has focused its efforts on obtaining business from
other  customers, thereby reducing its dependency on these  accounts.   Net
sales  to  the Company's top ten customers during the first nine months  of
fiscal  1995 accounted for 71% of consolidated net sales, compared  to  75%
for the comparable period of fiscal 1994.

      The Company is dependent upon continued revenues from IBM, Apple  and
the  rest  of  its top ten customers.  Any material delay, cancellation  or
reduction  of orders from these or other customers could have a  materially
adverse effect on the Company's results of operations.  The Company  has  a
manufacturing services agreement with IBM at its Bordeaux, France  facility
that  expires on December 31, 1995.  While the Company expects to  continue
business  with IBM after the agreement expires, there can be  no  guarantee
that such business will be available at satisfactory terms to the Company.

     Net sales at the Company's foreign sites grew at faster rates over the
last  year  than  net  sales  at  the Company's  domestic  sites.   Foreign
locations  contributed  40% of consolidated net sales  in  the  first  nine
months  of fiscal 1995, compared to 32% for the comparable period of fiscal
1994.   As  a  result  of the Company's foreign sales and  facilities,  the
Company's  operations  are  subject to  risks  of  doing  business  abroad,
including  fluctuations in the value of currency,  changes  to  import  and
export regulations, possible restrictions on the transfer of funds, and  in
certain  parts  of the world, political instability.  While to  date  these
dynamics have not had a materially adverse impact on the Company's  results
of  operations, there can be no assurance that there will not  be  such  an
impact in the future.

      The  Company's  operations  in  Milpitas,  California  contributed  a
substantial portion of the Company's net sales and operating income  during
the  first three quarters of fiscal 1995 and 1994.  The performance of this
operation  is expected to continue as a significant factor in  the  overall
financial  results  of the Company.  Any material change  to  the  customer
base, product mix, efficiency or other attributes of this site could have a
material effect on the Company's consolidated results of operations.

       Over   the  past  few  years  the  Company's  revenues  have   grown
substantially  and  have exceeded the Company's own targeted  growth  rate.
The  Company believes that its ability to continue to achieve rapid  growth
will  depend  upon growth in sales to existing customers for their  current
and  future  product generations and successful marketing to new customers.
While  the  Company expects a modest revenue contribution from its  planned
facility in Germany, management believes such expansion is not necessary to
meet  its  targeted  growth rates.  With the exception of  a  manufacturing
services  agreement with IBM at the Bordeaux, France site which expires  on
December  31,  1995,  the Company has no firm long-term volume  commitments
from its customers and over the last few years has experienced reduced lead-
time  in  customer orders.  Customer contracts can be canceled  and  volume
levels  can  be  changed or delayed.  The timely replacement   of  delayed,
canceled  or  reduced  orders  with new business  cannot  be  assured.   In
addition,  there  can  be no assurance that any of  the  Company's  current
customers  will  continue to utilize the Company's  services.   Because  of
these  factors,  there  can be no assurance that the  Company's  historical
revenue growth rate will continue.

      The  Company  currently  serves the electronics  industry,  which  is
subject  to  rapid  technological change, product  obsolescence  and  price
competition.   These and other factors affecting the electronics  industry,
or  any  of  the  Company's  major customers in particular,  could  have  a
materially adverse effect on the Company's results of operations.

      Gross margin for the third quarter of fiscal 1995 was 10.1%, compared
to  10.6% for the third quarter of fiscal 1994.  Gross margin for the first
nine  months of fiscal 1995 was 9.6%, compared to 10.5% for the  comparable
period last fiscal year.   The decline in gross margin for both periods  is
the  result of under-utilization of the Company's Bordeaux, France facility
and  manufacturing  inefficiencies at the Dunfermline,  Scotland  location,
partially  offset  by improved product mix.  In addition, the  year-to-date
results  were  adversely affected by manufacturing  inefficiencies  at  the
Charlotte,  North Carolina location.  The manufacturing inefficiencies  are
the  result  of  new  customer  projects  and  the  continuing  ramp-up  in
complexity of business in Charlotte and Dunfermline.  The Company has  made
progress  at  these  sites and has improved the management  and  logistical
infrastructure.  The Bordeaux facility is expected to be under-utilized for
at  least  the remainder of calendar 1995.  Increases in turnkey  business,
costs   associated  with  new  projects,  and  price  erosion  within   the
electronics  industry  could adversely affect the Company's  gross  margin.
Additionally, changes in product mix could cause the Company's gross margin
to  fluctuate.  While the availability of raw materials appears adequate to
meet  the  Company's current revenue projections through the  remainder  of
fiscal 1995, component availability to support revenue increases beyond the
Company's current plans is limited.  Furthermore, availability of customer-
consigned parts and unforeseen shortages of components on the world  market
are  beyond the Company's control and could adversely affect revenue levels
and operating efficiencies.

      Selling,  general  and  administrative (SG&A) expenses  increased  in
absolute  amounts during the third quarter and first nine months of  fiscal
1995,  relative  to the comparable periods of fiscal 1994.   The  increases
during  these periods are due primarily to growth in personnel and  related
departmental  expenses  at  all  manufacturing  locations  to  support  the
increased size and complexity of the Company's business.  SG&A expenses  as
a  percentage of net sales have decreased during the three-month and  nine-
month periods ended May 31, 1995, in relation to the comparable periods  of
fiscal  1994, from increased leverage of fixed operating costs on a  higher
revenue  base and continued management of overhead expenses.   The  Company
anticipates SG&A expenses will increase in absolute amounts in  the  future
as  the  Company builds the infrastructure necessary to support its current
and prospective business.

      Research and development (R&D) activities have been focused primarily
on  fine pitch interconnection technologies (which include ball-grid array,
tape-automated  bonding,  multichip  modules,  chip-on-flex,  and  chip-on-
board), high reliability environmental stress test technology, and no-clean
soldering  processes.  R&D expenses have increased slightly  during  fiscal
1995  compared to fiscal 1994, but are not expected to change significantly
in the near future.

     The effective income tax rate throughout fiscal 1995 was approximately
34%, a slight decrease from the 34.7% effective tax rate for the first nine
months  of fiscal 1994. The decrease reflects primarily increased  earnings
from  the Company's foreign operations which have lower statutory tax rates
than the domestic subsidiaries.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      Working  capital was $359 million as of May 31, 1995, an increase  of
$50  million from the end of fiscal 1994.  This increase reflects primarily
the  growth in net sales during fiscal 1995 and the required investment  in
working  capital  to support this growth.  The increase in working  capital
was  financed  by cash generated from operations.  The Company  anticipates
that  further  increases  in working capital will be  required  to  support
anticipated revenue growth.

      Net  cash used in investing activities was $40 million for the  first
nine  months  of  fiscal 1995, consisting of capital  expenditures  of  $67
million  for  surface  mount assembly and test  equipment  at  the  Penang,
Milpitas  and Dunfermline locations to meet current and expected production
levels, offset by net sales of short-term investments of $27 million.   For
the  remainder of fiscal 1995, capital expenditures at existing facilities,
including   the  expansion  of  the  Company's  Charlotte  and  Dunfermline
locations,  are expected to be in the range of $30 million to $40  million.
On  May  29,  1995  the Company announced that it signed  a  memorandum  of
understanding  to buy certain assets of Hewlett-Packard's  printed  circuit
assembly operation located in Boeblingen, Germany.  The purchase price  for
these  assets  is  not expected to be significant.  The  Company  currently
anticipates  that  the  purchase and start-up of  this  operation  will  be
financed with existing cash and short-term investments.

     In addition to the Company's working capital as of May 31, 1995, which
includes   cash  and  cash  equivalents  of  $90  million  and   short-term
investments  of $67 million, the Company also has available a $100  million
unsecured   domestic  revolving  credit  facility,  subject  to   financial
covenants  and  restrictions, and $35 million in available  foreign  credit
facilities.   Subsequent  to the close of the third quarter,  approximately
55%  of the Company's outstanding convertible zero-coupon subordinated debt
was  voluntarily converted to common stock.  The result of this  conversion
is  to decrease long-term debt by $78 million, decrease other assets by  $2
million  (unamortized  issue  costs), and  increase  common  stock  by  $76
million.  Beginning  in September 1997, the Company  will  be  required  to
pledge  approximately  $44  million of cash  or  marketable  securities  as
collateral  for  its obligation under the terms of the Company's  operating
lease  for  certain of its facilities in Milpitas, California.   The  lease
expires in September 1999.
