ITEM 2: ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

     On August 31, 2000, Flextronics International Ltd., a Singapore company
("Flextronics"), completed its acquisition of Chatham Technologies, Inc., a
Delaware corporation ("Chatham"), pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization dated July 31, 2000 (the "Merger Agreement"). The transaction was
accomplished by merging a wholly owned subsidiary of Flextronics into Chatham.
Chatham survived the merger and became a wholly owned subsidiary of Flextronics.
The merger was accounted for as a "pooling of interests" transaction for
accounting purposes and was structured to be a "tax-free" reorganization for
federal income tax purposes. The directors and executive officers of Flextronics
were not changed as a result of the merger. Prior to the merger, Chatham was in
the business of providing integrated electronic packaging systems to the
communications industry. Now that the merger has been consummated, Chatham will
continue its historical business.

     Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, each share of Chatham common
stock, par value $0.01 per share, was converted into a right to receive .4869811
Flextronics ordinary shares, par value S$0.01 per share. No fractional
Flextronics ordinary shares were be issued in connection with the merger, but in
lieu thereof each holder of Chatham common stock who would otherwise be entitled
to receive a fraction of a Flextronics ordinary share, after aggregating all
Flextronics ordinary shares to be received by such holder, will receive from
Flextronics an amount of cash equal to $81.6875 multiplied by the fraction of a
Flextronics ordinary share to which such holder would otherwise be entitled.

     By virtue of the merger and without the need for any further action on the
part of any holders thereof, each issued and outstanding option to purchase
Chatham common stock immediately outstanding prior to the effective time of the
merger was assumed by Flextronics and converted into an option to purchase that
number of Flextronics ordinary shares determined by multiplying the number of
shares of Chatham common stock subject to such Chatham option to purchase
immediately prior to the effective time of the merger by .4869811, subject to
rounding down to eliminate fractional shares, at an exercise price per
Flextronics ordinary share equal to the exercise price per share of Chatham
common stock that was in effect for such Chatham option to purchase immediately
prior to the effective time divided by .4869811, subject to rounding up to the
nearest whole cent.

     Pursuant to these exchange ratios, in the merger, Flextronics issued
approximately 7.6 million Flextronics ordinary shares, and assumed outstanding
options and other rights to purchase approximately 715,000 Flextronics ordinary
shares.

     The exchange ratio was determined on the basis of, among other things (1) a
comparison of certain financial and stock market information for Flextronics and
certain financial information for Chatham with similar types of information for
certain other companies in businesses similar to those of Flextronics and
Chatham; and (2) discussions between senior management of Flextronics and
Chatham regarding the business and prospects of their respective companies.

     Furthermore, the officers, directors, ten percent stockholders and other
"affiliates" of Flextronics and Chatham (within the meaning of Rule 145 or Rule
405 of the Securities Act) were obligated to each enter into an affiliates
agreement, primarily to agree to abide by certain restrictions on the transfer
of the securities of Flextronics and Chatham to help assure the ability of
Flextronics to treat the merger as a "pooling of interests" for accounting
purposes.
