Unauthorized Activities in Japan</b> </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">     As we previously reported, in April 2010, we launched an investigation into unauthorized activities in Japan. We learned that an individual working in Molex Japan’s finance group obtained unauthorized loans from third party lenders, that included in at least one instance the attempted unauthorized pledge of Molex Japan facilities as security, in Molex Japan’s name that were used to cover losses resulting from unauthorized trading, including margin trading, in Molex Japan’s name. We also learned that the individual misappropriated funds from Molex Japan’s accounts to cover losses from unauthorized trading. The individual admitted to forging documentation in arranging and concealing the transactions. We retained outside legal counsel, and they retained forensic accountants, to investigate the matter. The investigation has been completed. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">     Based on the results of the completed investigation, we recorded for accounting purposes an accrued liability for the effect of unauthorized activities pending the resolution of these matters including the legal proceedings reported in Note 12. Cumulative investigative and legal costs through September 30, 2010 were $10.3 million, including $5.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. We believe these unauthorized activities and related losses occurred from at least as early as 1988 through 2010, with approximately $167.4 million of losses occurring prior to June 30, 2007. The accrued liability for these potential net losses was $175.1 million as of September 30, 2010, including $9.3 million in foreign currency translation, which was recorded as a component of other comprehensive income. To the extent we prevail in not having to pay all or any portion of the outstanding unauthorized loans, we would recognize a gain in that amount. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">     In addition, we have a contingent liability of $11.2 million for other loan-related expenses, interest expense and delay damages on the outstanding unauthorized loans. </div>   </div>  <div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> </div>  <!-- Begin Block Tagged Note false false false us-types:textBlockItemType textblock Unauthorized Activities In Country One.
