Molex Incorporated (together with its subsidiaries, except where the context otherwise requires, “we,” “us,” and “our”) manufactures electronic components, including electrical and fiber optic interconnection products and systems, switches and integrated products in 40 manufacturing locations in 16 countries.

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) for interim financial information and with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals considered necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim period have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended December 31, 2011 are not necessarily an indication of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2012. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2011 was derived from our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2011. These financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2011.

The preparation of the unaudited financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions related to the reporting of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures. Significant estimates and assumptions are used in the estimation of income taxes, pension and retiree health care benefit obligations, stock options, accrual for unauthorized activities in Japan, allowances for accounts receivable and inventory and impairment reviews for goodwill, intangible and other long-lived assets. Estimates are revised periodically. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Material subsequent events are evaluated and disclosed through the report issuance date.
