AUDITOR'S REPORT

TO THE MEMBERS OF ASTRON GROUP LIMITED
(incorporated in Hong Kong with limited liability)

We have audited the financial statements on pages 2 to 23 which have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Hong 
Kong.

RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF DIRECTORS AND AUDITORS

The directors are required to prepare financial statements which give a true
and fair view. In preparing financial statements which give a true and fair
view it is fundamental that appropriate accounting policies are selected and
applied consistently.

It is our responsibility to form an independent opinion, based on our audit, on
those statements and to report our opinion to you.

BASIS OF OPINION

We conducted our audit in accordance with Statements of Auditing Standards
issued by the Hong Kong Society of Accountants. An audit includes examination,
on a test basis, of evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. It also includes an assessment of the significant
estimates and judgments made by the directors in the preparation of the
financial statements, and of whether the accounting policies are appropriate to
the Group's circumstances, consistently applied and adequately disclosed.

We planned and performed our audit so as to obtain all the information and
explanations which we considered necessary in order to provide us with
sufficient evidence to give reasonable assurance as to whether the financial
statements are free from material misstatement. In forming our opinion we also
evaluated the overall adequacy of the presentation of information in the
financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for
our opinion.

OPINION

In our opinion the financial statements give a true and fair view of the state
of the Group's affairs as at December 31, 1995 and of its profit and cash flow
for the three years ended December 31, 1995 and have been properly prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                             (Dollars in thousands)

1.      ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

        The Company is a private limited company incorporated in Hong Kong. Its
        ultimate holding company is Alberton Holdings Limited, also incorporated
        in Hong Kong.

        The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance
        with accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong ("H.K.
        GAAP"), which differ from in certain material respects from accounting
        principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") see
        Note 19.

2.      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        Principles of consolidation -- The consolidated financial statements
        include the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of all
        subsidiaries. All material intercompany transactions and balances have
        been eliminated.

        Cash equivalents -- cash equivalents represent short-term highly liquid
        investments which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and
        which were within three months of maturity when acquired; less advances
        from banks repayable within three months from the date of the advance.

        Depreciation -- Depreciation is provided to write off the cost or
        revalued amount of fixed assets over their estimated useful lives using 
        the straight line method, at the following rates per annum:

        Leasehold land and buildings            Over the terms of the lease
        Office equipment                        20%
        Furniture and fixtures                  20%
        Computers                               20%
        Electrical equipment                    10%
        Production equipment                    10%-20%

        Assets held under finance leases and hire purchase contracts are
        depreciated over their expected useful lives on the same basis as owned
        assets.

        Surplus arising on the revaluation of leasehold land and buildings is
        credited to the property revaluation reserve except that to the extent a
        revaluation surplus reverses a revaluation deficit of the same asset
        previsouly charged to the profit and loss account, the revaluation
        surplus is credited to the profit and loss account.

        Deficit arising on the revaluation of the leasehold land and buildings
        is charged to the profit and loss account except that to the extent a
        revaluation deficit relates to an amount held in the property
        revaluation reserve in respect of the same asset, the deficit is charged
        directly against the related property revaluation reserve.

        Revaluation surplus on the sale of revalued properties are credited to
        retained earnings.

2.      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES -- (continued)

        Inventories -- Inventories are stated at the lower of cost determined by
        the first-in, first-out method, or market. Finished goods inventories
        consist of raw materials, direct labor and overhead associated with the
        manufacture of printed circuit boards.

        Construction in progress is stated at cost which comprised the
        manufacturing facilities and the related office building under
        construction. The Company did not incur a significant amount of
        borrowing costs in connection with the construction of property,
        therefore no interest has been capitalized. No depreciation is provided
        until the construction is completed.

        Intangible assets -- Intangible assets include trademarks which are
        capitalized and amortized over a period of ten years using the straight
        line method and pre-operating expenses which are amortized over five
        years from the date operations commence.

        Revenue recognition -- The Company recognized revenue at the time
        products are shipped to customers.

        Income taxes -- Deferred income taxes are provided at enacted statutory
        rates for temporary differences. Temporary differences result primarily
        from differences between the book and tax bases for depreciation
        expense.

        Foreign currency translation -- Assets and liabilities denominated in
        foreign currencies are translated at year end exchange rates, while
        revenues and expenses are translated at the approximate exchange rates
        ruling on the dates of the transactions. Gains or losses from foreign
        currency transactions are included in net income.

        On consolidation the financial statements of overseas subsidiaries are
        translated at the rates ruling on the balance sheet date. All exchange
        differences arising on consolidation are dealt with in reserves.

        The exchange rates adopted in the translation of Renminbi (the "RMB") to
        Hong Kong Dollars are the applicable foreign exchange adjustment centre
        rates quoted by the People's Bank of China.

        Employee benefits -- The Company does not provide any retirement or
        postretirement benefits and postemployment benefits, if any, are not
        significant.

        Investments -- Other listed investments are carried at market value.
        Unrealized gains or losses on long-term investments are recorded as
        component of shareholders' equity. Such treatment of long-term
        investments is consistent with U.S. Statement of Financial Accounting
        Standards No. 115 ("SFAS 115"), Accounting for Certain Investments in
        Debt and Equity Securities. Pursuant to SFAS 115 the long-term
        investments would be classified as available-for-sale.

        Hong Kong companies are subject to Hong Kong taxation on their
        activities conducted in Hong Kong.  Under the current Hong Kong laws,
        dividends and capital gains arising from the realization of investments
        are not subject to income taxes and no withholding tax is imposed on
        payments of dividends by the Hong Kong incorporated subsidiaries to the
        Company.  The Company is not taxed in the British Virgin Islands where
        one of its subsidiaries is incorporated.   


        The Company has a subsidiary which was incorporated in PRC in 1994 and
        operates in the special economic zone of Zhuhai.  This company is
        subject to PRC income taxes at the applicable tax rate (currently 15%)
        on taxable income based on income tax laws applicable to foreign
        investment enterprises.  Pursuant to the same income tax laws, the
        subsidiary, being a production-oriented enterprise, is entitled to a tax
        holiday and therefore is fully exempt from PRC income tax on their
        manufacturing operations for two years starting from the first
        profit-making year, followed by a 50% exemption for the next three
        years.

        The provision for income taxes consists of the following:

17.     FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

        The following disclosure of the estimated value of financial instruments
        is made in accordance with the requirements of U.S. Statement of
        Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures About Fair Value of
        Financial Instruments". The estimated fair value amounts have been
        determined by the Company, using available market information and
        appropriate valuation methodologies. The estimates presented herein are
        not necessarily indicative of amounts that the Company could realize in
        a current market exercise.

        The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable,
        short-term borrowings and long-term debt are reasonable estimates of
        their fair value. The interest rates on the Company's short-term
        borrowings and long-term debt approximate those which would have been
        available at December 31, 1995 for debt of the same remaining
        maturities. Long-term loan receivable from a fellow subsidiary bears
        interest at 7.15%.

20.     SUMMARY OF DIFFERENCES BETWEEN HONG KONG AND UNITED STATES GENERALLY
        ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

        The Company's financial statements are prepared in accordance with H.K.
        GAAP, which differ in certain significant respects from U.S. GAAP. The
        significant differences relate principally to the following items and
        the adjustments necessary to restate net income and shareholders' equity
        in accordance with U.S. GAAP are shown in the tables set out below:

        (a)     Proposed dividends

                The Company has included a proposed dividend in 1993 as a
                reconciliation item because under H.K. GAAP proposed dividend
                declared after the end of the accounting period is recorded as a
                liability incurred during such accounting period. Under U.S.
                GAAP, dividends are recorded as a liability on the books of the
                Company on the date of declaration. Under U.S. GAAP the dividend
                would be recorded as an adjustment to retained earnings. The
                dividend was declared and paid during 1994.

        (b)     Exceptional income or loss

                Under H.K. GAAP, the amounts shown in note 4 are classified as
                exceptional income or loss. U.S. GAAP does not recognize such
                items as exceptional.

        (c)     Waiver of liabilities due to a shareholder

                The exceptional items include an amount of waived liabilities
                due to a shareholder. Under U.S. GAAP such amount is not treated
                as income but as additional paid-in capital. Accordingly, an
                adjustment to net income is required to eliminate this
                difference.

        (d)     Revaluation of leasehold land and investment properties

                The Company has revalued certain leasehold land and investment
                properties based on an independent valuation. This resulted in
                an increase on the carrying value of such assets with a
                corresponding increase in consolidated shareholders' equity.
                Such revaluations are not permitted under U.S. GAAP.
                Accordingly, an adjustment to shareholders' equity is required
                to eliminate these differences. In addition, the company has 
                eliminated the related depreciation expense from net income 
                for the respective years.


                                                                            -21-

        ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES - continued

        (e)     Pre-operating expenses

                The Company has capitalised certain pre-operating expenses
                which is not permitted under U.S. GAAP. The amounts capitalised
                and the related amortisation expense have been adjusted in net 
                income for the respective years.

        (f)     Reinstatement of loan payable

                The reinstatement of the loan payable to a related company has
                been included in income. Under U.S. GAAP such amount is not 
                treated as income but as additional paid-in capital. 
                Accordingly, an adjustment to net income to eliminate this 
                difference.

        (g)     Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows

                The Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows presented on pages 6
                and 7 has been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
                accounting principles in Hong Kong ("HK GAAP"). The presentation
                of certain items in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows
                pursuant to HK GAAP differs from the presentation in accordance
                with U.S. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 95
                "Statement of Cash Flows" ("SFAS95"). The net cash flow from
                operating, investing and financing would have been the following
                had the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flow been presented in
                accordance with SFAS95:

(b)  Pro forma Financial Information

             FLEXTRONICS INTERNATIONAL LTD. AND ASTRON GROUP LIMITED


                               PRO FORMA CONDENSED
                       CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
                                   (unaudited)


On February 2, 1996, Flextronics International Ltd. (the "Company") acquired
(the "Acquisition") all of the issued capital of Astron Group Limited, a private
company limited by shares and incorporated in Hong Kong ("Astron"). The
following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information
reflects this business combination which will be accounted for under the
purchase method of accounting. The pro forma condensed consolidated statements
of operations assumes the acquisition had taken place at the beginning of the
fiscal year ended March 31, 1995, whereas the pro forma condensed consolidated
balance sheet assumes the acquisition took place on December 31, 1995.


The pro forma information is based on historical statements of the Company and
Astron for the fiscal periods indicated, based on the Company's results of
operations for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1995 (audited) and for the nine
months ended December 31, 1995 (unaudited) and Astron's results of operations
for the year ended December 31, 1994 (audited) and for the nine months ended
December 31, 1995 (unaudited). As the fiscal year ends of the two companies are
not co-terminuus, different fiscal periods were used for the preparation of the
pro forma financial statements. In addition, for purposes of the pro forma
condensed financial statements, the financial statements of Astron Group 
Limited translated from Hong Kong dollars into U.S. dollars in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 52, "Foreign Currency 
Translation". Accordingly all of Astron's assets and liabilities have been 
translated at the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date and all
income and expenditure items have been translated at the average rates for each
of the years. As the exchange rate between the Hong Kong dollar and the U.S.
dollar has been fixed, an exchange rate of HK$7.73 to $1.00, being the 
approximate rate of exchange from commercial banks throughout the relevant
periods, has been used and no exchange differences arise on translation. 

The unaudited pro forma financial information does not purport to represent 
what the results of operations and the financial position of the Company would
have actually been if the acquisition described above had in fact occurred on 
such date or the beginning of such period. Neither do they purport to project 
the results of operation and the financial position of the Company for any 
future date or period.


The pro forma condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the accompanying notes to the pro forma condensed financial statements included
elsewhere herein.

         NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
                                   (unaudited)

   
1.       The accounts of the Astron Group Limited are presented in accordance
         with U.S. GAAP. Balance sheet accounts are translated into the U.S.
         dollar at the spot or historical rate as appropriate. Profit and loss
         accounts are translated at the average rate.
    

   
2.       On February 2, 1996, the Company acquired Astron Group limited. The pro
         forma condensed consolidated balance sheet reflects the acquisition of
         Astron Group Limited by way of $13,440,605 in cash; issuance of 238,684
         Ordinary Shares (these shares were valued based on the Company's
         average market share price during the 21 trading days immediately
         preceding the acquisition resulting in a value of $6,507,000); issuance
         of a $10 million promissory note due one year after acquisition date
         and issuance of a $5 million promissory note due two years after
         acquisition date. The promissory notes shall bear interest at the rate
         of 8% per annum. Additionally, the Company will issue $10 million of
         Ordinary Shares and pay approximately $14 million under the service
         agreement described below on June 30, 1998. Management has assessed the
         fair market value of Astron's identifiable assets and liabilities of
         $17.2 million and has recorded $11.9 million as identified intangible
         assets and $4.8 million as goodwill. Total costs to be incurred by the
         Company in connection with the acquisition are estimated at US$700,000.
    

   
    

   
         In connection with the Astron agreement, the Company has entered into a
         service agreement with the Chairman of Astron and an affiliated entity,
         which includes confidentiality provisions and a covenant not to
         compete. The agreement provides for a payment of approximately $14
         million to be made on June 30, 1998. Of the $14 million, $5 million
         must be paid in cash. The remainder may be paid in either cash or
         Ordinary Shares at the discretion of the Company. The $14.0 million
         payment has been included in the calculation of Astron's purchase
         price.
    

   
         In addition, the Company will pay an earnout of up to $12.5 million
         contingent upon Astron Group Limited meeting certain pre-tax profit
         targets for calendar year 1996. The first $5 million of the earnout
         shall be paid in cash and the balance will be paid in cash or through
         the issuance of Ordinary Shares, at the discretion of the Company. In
         accordance with U.S. GAAP, the contingency will be recorded as purchase
         price when resolved.
    

   
3.       Represents amortization of goodwill and identified intangible assets.
         In connection with the acquisition of Astron, and as if the acquisition
         was effected at the beginning of the period presented, the Company
         recorded $11.9 million of identified intangible assets and $4.8 of
         goodwill, and is amortizing these assets over their estimated useful
         lives of 7 to 25 years.
    

   
4.       The Company engaged an independent valuation firm to aid in determining
         the fair market value of Astron Group Limited's research and
         development in process. ("In-Process R&D"). Based on this valuation and
         other factors, the Company determined that the fair value of the
         In-process R&D was $29 million. Accordingly, the Company wrote off $29
         million of In-process R&D in fiscal 1996 and this amount was considered
         in the pro forma condensed income statement.
    

   
5.       Reflects amortization of a deferred tax liability recognized by the
         Company in connection with the acquisition.

6.       Other payable consists of $10.0 million in shares due to the former
         shareholders of Astron due June 30, 1998, and an accrued payment due to
         an affiliate of Stephen Rees, the Chairman and a former shareholder of
         Astron, of approximately $14 million, consisting of approximately $5.0
         million in cash and $9.0 million payable in cash or the Company's
         Ordinary Shares, which the Company intends to pay in Ordinary Shares
         and has classified as a liability.
    

   
7.       The proforma adjustments include additional bank borrowings of
         $5,037,000 assumed to be required to fund the acquisition.
    

   
8.       Represents cash paid for interest on bank borrowings assumed to be
         required to fund the acquisition. See note 7.
