REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS To the Participants and Administrator of the Plexus Corp. 401(k) Savings Plan In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plexus Corp. 401(k) Savings Plan (the "Plan") as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2001 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental Schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year) is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

DESCRIPTION OF PLAN The following description of the Plexus Corp. 401(k) Savings Plan (the "Plan") provides only general information. Participants should refer to the plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions. GENERAL The Plan, originally effective January 1, 1989 and amended and restated effective March 1, 2000, is a contributory defined contribution plan covering substantially all employees of Plexus Corp. (the "Company") who have completed 90 days of service. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"). Effective March 1, 2000, MFS Heritage Trust Company became the trustee of the Plan. On April 1, 2001, the e2E Corporation 401(k) & Profit Sharing Plan merged into the Plan. CONTRIBUTIONS Employee pre-tax contributions are based on voluntary elections via phone or internet by the participants, directing the Company to defer a stated amount from the participant's compensation. Participants may elect to defer up to 18% of their annual compensation. The Company will make a matching contribution on behalf of a participant equal to 100% of the first 2.5% of the participant's elective deferrals for participants who have completed one year of service. Contributions are limited by Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. INVESTMENT ALTERNATIVES Plan participants may direct their entire account balances in 1% increments to any of the various investment options offered by the Plan. Participants may change their investment options on a daily basis. PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS AND ALLOCATIONS Participant record keeping is performed by MFS Retirement Services, Inc. ("MFS"). For all investment programs which are mutual funds, MFS maintains participant balances on a share method. Participant investments in the Plexus Unitized Stock Fund, Conservative Portfolio Option, Moderate Portfolio Option, Aggressive Portfolio Option, and MFS Fixed Fund are accounted for on a unit value method. Units and unit values for these funds as of December 31, 2001 and 2000 were as follows:
Units Unit Value ----------------------------- --------------------------- December 31, December 31, ----------------------------- --------------------------- 2001 2000 2001 2000 ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- Plexus Unitized Stock Fund 3,391,372 3,794,128 $ 9.80 $ 11.12 Conservative Portfolio Option 76,942 38,908 9.89 10.09 Moderate Portfolio Option 98,710 40,550 8.72 9.86 Aggressive Portfolio Option 212,744 126,433 7.24 9.01 MFS Fixed Fund 8,609,236 3,289,130 1.00 1.00
- 4 - PLEXUS CORP. 401(K) SAVINGS PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2001 AND 2000 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contributions and allocations of Company contributions and plan earnings (losses). Allocations of plan earnings (losses) are based on participant account balances in relation to total fund account balances, as defined by the plan document. VESTING AND DISTRIBUTIONS Participants immediately vest in all contributions made to the Plan. Participant accounts are distributable in the form of a lump sum payment or substantially equal installments of cash or in whole shares of Company securities as elected by the participant upon retirement, termination of employment, death, disability, financial hardship or attainment of age 59-1/2. In addition, participant accounts can be rolled over into an individual retirement account ("IRA") or another qualified defined contribution plan. Participant distributions may not be deferred past April 1 of the calendar year following the year in which the participant attains age 70-1/2. Forfeitures of unclaimed distributions are used to reduce Company matching contributions. PARTICIPANT LOANS Effective March 1, 2000, participants may borrow from their accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum amount equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50 percent of their vested account balance. Loan terms range up to five years. Loans are secured by the balance in the participant's account and bear interest at the prime rate plus one percent. Principal and interest is paid ratably through regular payroll deductions. 2. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES ACCOUNTING METHOD The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual method of accounting. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and changes therein, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. INVESTMENT VALUATION AND INCOME RECOGNITION The Plan's investments are stated at fair value. The share value of mutual funds is based on quoted market prices on the last business day of the plan year. The unit value of unitized funds and common trust funds is computed daily based on share price, dividend information and the value of the fund's short-term investments. Participant loans are stated at cost, which approximates fair value. The Plan presents in the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits, the net appreciation in the fair value of its investments which consists of the realized gains or losses and the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on those investments. Purchases and sales of investments are recorded on a trade-date basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest is recognized when earned. RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES The Plan's investments are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investments and the level of uncertainty related to changes in the values of investments, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in risks in the - 5 - PLEXUS CORP. 401(K) SAVINGS PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2001 AND 2000 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- near term would materially affect participants' account balances and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits and the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits. PAYMENT OF BENEFITS Benefits are recorded when paid. ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES Certain expenses incurred in the administration of the Plan are paid by the Company and are not reflected within these financial statements. 3. INVESTMENTS The following presents investments that represent 5 percent or more of the Plan's net assets:

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Certain plan investments represent shares of funds managed by MFS Heritage Trust Company, the trustee of the Plan, employer securities and participant loans.
