Goldman Scarlato & Karon, P.C., a law firm with offices
in Pennsylvania and Ohio, announces that a lawsuit has been filed in
the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota, on
behalf of persons who purchased or otherwise acquired publicly traded
securities of PEMSTAR, Inc. ("PEMSTAR" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:PMTR)
between January 29, 2003 and January 24, 2005, inclusive, (the "Class
Period"). The lawsuit was filed against PEMSTAR, Allen Berning, Roy
Bauer and Gregory Lea ("Defendants").

The complaint alleges that Defendants violated Sections 10(b) and
20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5
promulgated thereunder. Specifically, the complaint alleges that
Defendants issued a series of false and misleading financial
statements to the investing public regarding the Company's financial
position. More specifically, the complaint alleges that during the
Class Period, PEMSTAR was suffering from liquidity constraints that
prohibited it from achieving gross margin expansion, a prerequisite to
generating accounting profits. In addition, the Company failed to
disclose that it needed to attain approximately a 9% gross margin in
order to reach profitability, a level which would be unattainable in a
reasonable period of time.
Additionally, the complaint alleges Defendants misrepresented the
Company's financial condition through the understatement of the
Company's liabilities associated with its Mexican facilities and
overstating its accounts receivables that were in fact impaired.
On January 24, 2005, PEMSTAR issued a press release announcing
that it was revising its outlook for the third quarter of fiscal 2005
and that the Company had implemented a cost-reduction initiative. In
addition, it announced that it was restating its financial results for
the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 due to accounting issues at it
Mexican facility. Shares reacted negatively to the news, falling to a
level roughly 70% below the Company's Class Period high.
