If the notification relates to a portion of the filing checked above, identify the Item(s) to which the notification relates: PART I -- REGISTRANT INFORMATION Sanmina-SCI Corporation ----------------------------------------------------------------- Full Name of Registrant ----------------------------------------------------------------- Former Name if Applicable 2700 North First Street ----------------------------------------------------------------- Address of Principal Executive Office (Street and Number) San Jose, California 95134 ----------------------------------------------------------------- City, State and Zip Code PART II - RULES 12B-25(b) AND (c) If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the following should be completed. (Check box if appropriate) (a) The reasons described in reasonable detail in Part III of this form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense; [X] (b) The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report on Form 10-K, Form 20-F,11-K or Form N-SAR, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date; or the subject quarterly report of transition report on Form 10-Q, or portion thereof will be filed on or before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date; and (c) The accountant's statement or other exhibit required by Rule 12b-25(c) has been attached if applicable. PART III -- NARRATIVE State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, N-SAR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period. 1. The Registrant was unable to file its report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 29, 2003 on May 13, 2003, the due date therefor, because the Registrant identified certain misclassifications in the Supplemental Guarantors Condensed Consolidating Financial Information (the "Guarantor Financial Information") included in Note 10 to the Registrant's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Registrant was not able to rectify these misclassifications prior to the due date of the 10-Q report. Accordingly, the Company was not able, as of the due date of report, to provide Guarantor Financial Information in the form required. The Registrant notes that the fiscal quarter ended March 29, 2003 was the first quarter for which the Registrant was required to provide Guarantor Financial Information. 2. The Registrant hereby represents that the reasons causing the inability to timely file the report on Form 10-Q could not be eliminated by the Registrant without unreasonable effort or expense. 3. Because the Registrant has, as of the date and time of filing of this Form 12b-25, determined that the misclassifications identified affect only the Guarantor Financial Information and not the remainder of the Registrant's financial information included in the Form 10-Q, the Registrant is filing a Form 10-Q for the March 29, 2003 quarter containing the balance of the information required to be included therein, other than the Guarantor Financial Information and the certifications of the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer (the "Executive Officer Certifications"). The Executive Officer Certifications cannot be filed at this time due to the omission of the Guarantor Financial Information. 4. Within the time period prescribed by Rule 12b-25, the Registrant will file an amended report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 29, 2003, which amended report will contain the Guarantor Financial Information and the Executive Officer Certifications.
