NOTE 13 - CONTINGENCIES

            We were notified in April 2009 by U.S. Customs and Border Protection ("CBP") of its intention to conduct a customary Focused Assessment of our import activities during fiscal 2008 and of our processes and procedures to comply with U.S. Customs laws and regulations. We recorded an accrual in Other Accrued current liabilities at the time the amount became estimable and probable, which was not material to the financial statements. During September 2010, the Company reported errors relating to import trade activity from July 2004 to the date of Plexus' report. The Company is currently awaiting final determination of CBP duties and fees. Plexus has agreed that it will implement improved processes and procedures and review these corrective measures with CBP. At this time, we do not believe that any deficiencies in processes or controls or unanticipated costs, unpaid duties or penalties associated with this matter will have a material adverse effect on Plexus or the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
