TAIPEI, April 5 (Reuters) - Taiwan's Foxconn,

the world's largest contract electronics maker and Apple's ( AAPL )

biggest iPhone assembler, reported on Saturday that its

first-quarter revenue jumped 24.2% to a record high for the

quarter.

Foxconn said that it expected second-quarter business to

grow both from the previous three months and from the same

quarter last year but that the "impact of evolving global

political and economic conditions will need continued close

monitoring".
