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 in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards 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. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2000, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedules of assets held for investment purposes at end of year as of December 31, 2000, and reportable transactions for the year then ended, are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the financial statements but are 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. These supplemental schedules are the responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The financial statements have been prepared under the accrual basis of accounting. Investments are stated at fair value as measured by quoted prices in active markets except for the Prism Money Market Fund which is stated at fair value as determined by the trustee. The participant loans are valued at their outstanding balances, which approximate fair value. At December 31, 2000 the Eaton Corporation Common Shares are valued at the ex-dividend price to reflect the spin-off and stock dividend related to Axcelis Technologies, Inc. (see Note E). The cost of shares sold for mutual funds and Eaton Common Shares Fund is based upon the average cost of each participant's shares sold for purposes of determining realized gains and losses. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. B. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN Effective July 1, 1996, Eaton Corporation (the "Company" or "Plan Sponsor") established a 401(k) profit sharing plan and trust to be known as the Eaton Corporation 401(k) Savings Plan and Trust (the "Plan"). On May 1, 1998, the Company amended the Plan and restated certain articles therein to qualify the Plan as a profit-sharing plan under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"), and include a cash or deferred arrangement that is intended to qualify under Section 401(k) of the Code. 4 7 Eaton Corporation 401(k) Savings Plan and Trust Notes to Financial Statements (continued) B. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (CONTINUED) The Plan provides that all union employees that belong to IAM Local 78 and IAM Local 1061, Milwaukee, Wisconsin; USWA Local 7509, Shelbyville, Tennessee; UAW Local 164, Auburn, Indiana; Metal Processors Union IUAP and NW AFL-CIO Local 16, Rochelle, Illinois; UAW Local 220, Marshall, Michigan; IAM and Aerospace Workers, Local 77, Eden Prairie, Minnesota; Beaver Salaried Employees Association and IBEW, AFL-CIO, Local 201, Beaver, Pennsylvania; and IBEW, AFL-CIO, Local 1833, Horseheads, New York; IAM Local 1165, Lincoln, Illinois; UAW Local 1609, Winamac, Indiana; IAMAW Local 725, Los Angeles, California; IAM Local 70, Hutchinson, Kansas; and UPIU Local 7967, Cleveland, Ohio, will be eligible for membership in the Plan on the date at which the employee has completed the specified probationary period as stated in the applicable collective bargaining agreement. Eligible employees may elect to make before-tax contributions from 1 to 17 percent of their compensation. Contributions are allocated by the employee among the investment funds offered by the Plan. Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contributions, employer matching contributions, if applicable, and allocations of the Plan's earnings and is charged with an allocation of administrative expenses. Allocations are based on participant account balances. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant's account. Participants are immediately vested in their contributions and actual earnings thereon. On termination of service, a participant is eligible to receive a lump-sum amount equal to the value of his account. Participants may borrow from their fund accounts up to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their vested account balance, reduced by their highest outstanding loan balance during the preceding 12 months. Loan terms range from 1-5 years except for loans used for the purchase of a primary residence. The loans are secured by the balance in the participant's account and bear interest at a rate based on the prime interest rates as determined daily by the Trustee. Principal and interest are paid ratably through monthly payroll deductions. For certain locations, eligible employees receive an employer match of 50% up to 6% of their compensation. Eligible employees are 100% vested provided the participants are employees on the last day of the plan year in which the matching contributions are made. 5 8 Eaton Corporation 401(k) Savings Plan and Trust Notes to Financial Statements (continued) B. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (CONTINUED) All administrative and transaction costs, management fees and expenses of the Plan are paid by the trustee from the trust unless such costs, fees and expenses are paid by the Company. The Company elected to pay certain administrative costs during 2000 on behalf of the Plan. The Company may amend, modify, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time. No amendment, modification, suspension or termination of the Plan shall have the effect of providing that any amounts then held under the Plan may be used or diverted to any purpose other than for the exclusive benefit of members or their beneficiaries. Information about the Plan is contained in the Plan document, which is available from the Human Resources Department upon request. C.

INCOME TAX STATUS The Plan has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service dated November 14, 1997, stating that the Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and, therefore, the related trust is exempt from taxation. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the Code to maintain its qualification. The Plan Administrator believes the Plan is being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code and, therefore, believes that the Plan is qualified and the related trust is tax exempt.

Such transactions are exempt from being prohibited transactions.

TRANSACTIONS WITH PARTIES-IN-INTEREST (CONTINUED) On June 30, 2000, Eaton Corporation's (Eaton) semiconductor equipment operations were reorganized into a wholly owned subsidiary, Axcelis Technologies, Inc. (Axcelis). In July 2000, Axcelis completed an initial public offering for the sale of 20% of its common stock shares. On December 29, 2000 Eaton distributed its remaining interest in Axcelis to Eaton shareholders as a dividend (spin-off) which was tax free to Eaton and its shareholders for United States income tax purposes. Eaton shareholders (including the Plan) received 1.179023 shares of Axcelis common stock per each whole Eaton common share held as of December 6, 2000 and cash payments for fractional shares. The Axcelis common shares were received by the Plan on January 5, 2001. As a result of the Axcelis spin-off, the Plan had a stock dividend receivable from Eaton Corporation of $1,066,568 in Axcelis common stock at December 31, 2000. The Plan will establish an Axcelis Common Stock Fund to hold the shares of Axcelis common stock received as a dividend, and which shall be maintained as a fund under the Plan for a period expiring on or before December 31, 2002. Upon termination of the Axcelis Common Stock Fund, all Axcelis common stock held by the Plan shall be sold and invested in a money market fund or stable value fund. Distributions from the Axcelis Common Stock Fund shall be made in cash and cash and stock dividends on the Axcelis common stock shall be invested in a stable value fund and Axcelis Common Stock Fund, respectively. Axcelis common stock received by the Plan shall be credited under the Plan to the account related to the Eaton common shares with respect to which the Axcelis common stock was received as a dividend. Participants are not allowed to direct contributions or transfers to the Axcelis Common Stock Fund, but are permitted to direct the transfer of amounts in the Axcelis Common Stock Fund to other funds available under the Plan. F. TRANSFERS FROM OTHER PLANS Effective July 1, 2000, the Eaton Corporation Investment Plan for Hourly Employees of the Hydraulics Division of the Hutchinson Plant and the Eaton 401(k) Savings Plan for the Hourly Rate Employees at Airflex Division ("Merged Plans") were merged into the Plan.
