Molex Incorporated (NASDAQ:MOLX)(NASDAQ:MOLXA), a global electronic components company, today announced that the Audit Committee of its Board of Directors has requested Ernst & Young LLP to audit its financial statements for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2003 and June 30, 2004. In December 2004, the Company announced that it had retained Ernst & Young to replace its former auditor, Deloitte & Touche LLP, and audit Molex's financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005.

In connection with its fiscal year end processes, Molex discussed engaging its former auditor to perform the procedures considered necessary in order to deliver a written consent to use the previously audited financial statements for fiscal 2003 and fiscal 2004. The former auditor advised Molex that it did not wish to accept this engagement, but did not withdraw its previously issued audit reports with respect to such financial statements. Molex's Audit Committee has requested Ernst & Young to audit the fiscal 2003 and fiscal 2004 financial statements in addition to performing an audit of Molex's fiscal 2005 financial statements. Ernst & Young is in the process of assessing its independence with respect to fiscal years 2003 and 2004, and has stated that it will accept this engagement if it determines that it is independent with respect to those years.

Due to the need to expand the scope of Ernst & Young's audit engagement from one fiscal year to three fiscal years, Molex expects that its fiscal 2005 results will be released on September 8, 2005 and a webcast conference call will be held promptly following the release. Molex expects to file its Form 10-K, including audited financial statements, on or before the September 13, 2005 filing deadline.

June Quarter FY05 Outlook

Molex also announced that, based on a preliminary review of operating results for the fourth fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2005, it remains comfortable with the guidance for operating results as provided in its April 25, 2005 press release. Further, the total restructuring and building impairment charge previously estimated to be in a range of $25 to $30 million pre-tax is now expected to be in the range of $30 to $35 million pre-tax. In addition, during the fourth fiscal quarter the Company completed its annual review of goodwill, intangible assets and investments in subsidiaries. As a result of that review, Molex now expects to record a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of approximately $23 million in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2005.

FY06 Outlook and Analyst meeting

Molex expects to issue a press release at the close of the market on July 26, 2005 in which the Company will provide its initial outlook for the full fiscal year ending June 30, 2006. Following this release, the Company will host a conference call on July 26, 2005, at 4:00 PM CDT. The Company currently anticipates that its annual meeting with analysts, previously scheduled for July 26, 2005, will be held on September 13, 2005 in Chicago. In addition, the Company plans to schedule meetings during the same week in New York and San Francisco at which a condensed version of the September 13th presentation will be provided.

Molex将于2005年7月26日发布2006会计年度业绩展望，还将于美国中区时间下午4:00举行电话会议

Molex Incorporated（纳斯达克股票代码：MOLX）（纳斯达克股票代码：MOLXA）是一家全球性的电子元件企业，今天宣布董事会审计委员会已经要求安永公司(Ernst & Young LLP)对其截止至2003年6月30日与2004年6月30日的财务报表进行审计。在2004年12月，公司宣布其已经聘请了安永公司代替前任审计师德勤公司来对其截止至2005年6月30日的财务报表进行审计。

与会计年度结束处理，Molex对于聘请前审计师完成一项审计程序进行了讨论，这项审计程序对于Molex获得使用之前的2003会计年度与2004会计年度的已审计财务报表的书面许可是一项必备程序。前审计师通知Molex其不会接受聘请，但是也不会撤销之前发布的以上财务报表的审计报告。Molex的审计委员会已经要求安永公司在对Molex的2005会计年度的财务报表进行之外，还要对2003会计年度与2004会计年度的财务报告进行审计。安永公司正在对于其相对2003会计年度与2004会计年度的独立性进行评估，已经表示如果它认为自己与以上会计年度无关，则将会接受聘请。

由于需要将安永公司的审计约定范围从一个会计年度扩大到三个会计年度，Molex希望能够在2005年9月8日发布2005会计年度的财务业绩，并且在业绩发布之后立即举行网络直播电话会议。Molex希望能够在提交截止日期2005年9月13日之前或者当天提交包括已审计财务报表在内的10-K表格报告。

2005会计年度第四季度业绩展望

Molex还宣布根据截止至2005年6月30日的第四会计季度的初步经营业绩，它仍然对于2005年4月25日新闻稿中提供的经营业绩指导金额表示满意。除此之外，之前估计重建与建筑物毁损费用约在税前2500万至3000万美元之间，现在预计费用约在税前3000万至3500万美元之间。除此之外，在第四会计季度，公司还完成了对于商誉、无形资产以及对子公司的投资的年度审计。作为评估的结果，Molex现在希望能够在在2005会计年度第四季度中记录约2300万美元的非现金商誉损失费用。

2006会计年度业绩展望与分析师会议
