From Bear Stearns:

Assuming NEL's publicly announced (on October 19) revenue guidance of > S$4.25 billion (roughly US$2.4 billion) in 2000, Solectron is paying 1.0x on a price/sales basis. We believe that this compares favorably to other
> recent transactions involving major EMS targets with revenues in excess of > $500 million (Solectron/Smart Modular - 1.8x, Flextronics/Dii Group - > 1.8x, Flextronics/JIT Holdings - 1.1x). We believe that this was an > opportunistic move by Solectron, given that NEL's stock has been trading > near the bottom of its 52-week range (high of US$7.27, low of US$1.61), > until last week, when rumors about the deal began to surface. The US$4.53
> purchase price is still at a 38% discount to its 52-week high, but at a > 75% premium to yesterday's close.

> Financial Impact of the Acquisition
> We believe the acquisition is neutral to Solectron's fiscal 2001 (ending > August) EPS. Assuming calendar 2000 earnings of US$33 million from NEL > (based on the first half results of calendar 2000) and 25% growth for 2001
