INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT REGARDING TENDER OFFER OF SHARES OF
SMARTFLEX SYSTEMS INC,. -- CUSIP NUMBER 83169K108
SCHEDULE 13D
On July 6, 1999, SSI Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation ("SSI")
and Saturn Electronics and Engineering, Inc., a Michigan corporation (the
"Parent") entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement")
with Smartflex Systems, Inc., a Delaware Corporation (the "Company") under which
SSI would tender for all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of
the Company (the "Shares"). SSI and Parent entered into a Stock Tender and
Voting Agreement with each of the directors and executive officers of the
Company (all of whom are reporting persons filing this Schedule 13D) which
provided generally that such director or officer would tender his or her shares
within 10 days following commencement of the tender offer and would vote their
shares in favor of the merger of SSI with and into the Company. The Company
believes each of the directors and officers of the Company acted independently
and anticipated that the effectiveness of their respective obligations under the
Stock Tender and Voting Agreement should be conditioned upon commencement of a
tender offer in accordance with the Merger Agreement. The Company also believes
that the directors and officers did not comprise a "group" as defined in Rule
13d-5(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") because
each of the directors and officers entered into a Stock Tender and Voting
Agreement severally with SSI and Parent and did not enter into any agreement
with the other directors and/or officers of the Company. Further, none of the
Company's executive officers' or directors' obligations under their respective
Stock Tender and Voting Agreements are conditioned upon, or are related to, the
performance by any other of the Company's executive officers or directors of the
obligations under their respective Stock Tender and Voting Agreements. If a
group was formed within the definition of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) the Company believes
that the group would have been formed only upon the commencement of the tender
offer which occurred on July 14, 1999.
Each of the directors and officers of the Company filing this Schedule
13D is doing so as a precautionary measure but does not concede that he or she
is a member of a group or that this Statement is required under Regulation 13D
of the Exchange Act. The Company believes that if this Statement is required,
the commencement time of the 10-day period referenced in Rule 13d-1(a) would be
concurrent with the tender offer on July 14, 1999.
The filing of this Schedule 13D shall not be construed as an admission
that the individuals signing herein are the beneficial owners of any securities
covered by this Schedule 13D.
ITEM 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER
The class of equity securities to which this statement on Schedule 13D
(the "Statement") relates is the common stock, par value $.0025 per share (the
"Common Stock"), of Smartflex Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"). The principal executive offices of the Company are located at 14312
Franklin Avenue, Tustin, California 92781.
ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND
This Statement is filed on behalf of the potential members of a group
within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
listed below (the "Individuals"). The name, business address, present principal
occupation or employment and the name, principal business and address of the

ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
The purpose of each Stock Tender and Voting Agreement was to have the
Individual aid SSI Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation, ("SSI") in its
purchase of all of the outstanding shares of the Company (the "Tender Offer").
Pursuant to the Stock Tender and Voting Agreements, each Individual has agreed
to tender all shares of common stock of the Company beneficially owned by them
(the "Shares") pursuant to the Tender Offer within 10 business days of
commencement of the Tender Offer. Each Individual agreed to vote the Shares in
favor of the merger of SSI with and into the Company and agreed to not take
certain specified actions which would impede the proposed merger. Furthermore,
each Individual delivered an irrevocable proxy to SSI's parent corporation,
Saturn Electronic & Engineering, Inc. (the "Parent"), pursuant to which each
Individual irrevocably appoints Wallace K. Tsuha, Jr., Jereen G. Trudell and
Parent to exercise the proxy to vote the Shares in favor of the merger of SSI
with and into the Company. Such proxies shall remain in effect until termination
of the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated July 6, 1999, by and among the
Company, SSI and the Parent (the "Merger Agreement") or the Effective Time (as
defined in the Merger Agreement).

The information required by paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Item 5 is

On June 24, 1999 and effective May 18, 1999, William L. Healey, the
Company's President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of
Directors, terminated and waived all of his rights under the Stock Option
Agreement between the Company and Mr. Healey dated January 14, 1997. Such Stock
Option Agreement provided for the grant of options to Mr. Healey to purchase
35,000 Shares at an exercise price of $16.50 per share.
On May 19, 1999, the Company's non-employee directors, William E.
Bendush, Alan V. King, William A. Klein and Gary E. Liebl, each received an
automatic grant of non-qualified stock options to purchase 3,000 Shares at an
exercise price of $3.50 per Share. Such options are automatically granted to
non-employee directors of the Company each time such directors are reelected to
the Board of Directors.

Rollison and James Cogan are participants in the Company's 1995 Employee Stock
Purchase Plan. On May 1, 1999, Messrs. Healey, Richardson and Rollison each
purchased 1,000 Shares at a price of $2.92 per Share, pursuant to the Company's
1995 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (Mr. Cogan had not yet become a participant in
