BUSINESS Eaton Corporation (Eaton or Company) is a diversified industrial manufacturer having 2005 sales of $11.1 billion. Eaton was incorporated in Ohio in 1916, as a successor to a New Jersey company incorporated in 1911. The Company is a global leader in the design, manufacture, marketing and servicing of electrical systems and components for power quality, distribution and control; fluid power systems and services for industrial, mobile and aircraft equipment; intelligent truck drivetrain systems for safety and fuel economy; and automotive engine air management systems, powertrain solutions and specialty controls for performance, fuel economy and safety. Headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio, Eaton had 59,000 employees at year-end 2005 and sells products in more than 125 countries. More information regarding the Company is available at http://www.eaton.com. Eaton electronically files or furnishes reports pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (Commission), including annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and current reports on Form 8-K, as well as any amendments to those reports. As soon as reasonably practicable, these reports are available free of charge through the Company's Internet web site at http://www.eaton.com. These filings are also accessible on the Commission's Internet web site at http://www.sec.gov. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS In light of its strong results for 2005 and future prospects, on January 23, 2006 Eaton announced that it was taking the following actions: - -- Increasing the quarterly dividend on its Common Shares by 13%, from $.31 per share to $.35 per share, effective for the February 2006 dividend - -- Making a voluntary contribution of $100 million to its qualified pension plan in the United States - -- Beginning to implement its Excel 07 program. Information on Excel 07 is presented in "Outlook for 2006" on page F-35 of this report. In 2005, Eaton acquired certain businesses and formed joint ventures in separate transactions for a combined net cash purchase price of $911 million. The Statements of Consolidated Income include the results of these businesses from the effective dates of acquisition or formation.

BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION Information by business segment and geographic region regarding principal products, principal markets, methods of distribution, net sales, operating profit and assets is presented in "Business Segment & Geographic Region Information" on pages F-25 through F-27 of this report. Additional information regarding Eaton's segments and business is presented below. ELECTRICAL Seasonal Fluctuations -- Sales of this segment are historically lower in the first quarter, and higher in the third and fourth quarters of a year. Significant Customers -- Approximately 10% of this segment's net sales in 2005 were made to one customer, located in the United States, which is not a significant customer of any other segment. Competition -- Principal methods of competition in this segment are price, geographic coverage, service and product performance. Eaton has a strong competitive position in relation to the many competitors in this segment and, with respect to many products, is considered among the market leaders. FLUID POWER Seasonal Fluctuations -- Sales of this segment are not affected by seasonal fluctuations. Significant Customers -- Approximately 10% of this segment's net sales in 2005 were made to five original equipment manufacturers of vehicles in the United States and Europe. Three of these customers are also significant customers of the Automotive segment, and two of these customers are also significant customers of the Truck segment. Also, approximately 5% of this segment's net sales in 2005 were made to two manufacturers of off-highway agricultural and construction vehicles. Competition -- Principal methods of competition in this segment are price, geographic coverage, service and product performance. Eaton has a strong competitive position in relation to the many competitors in this segment and, with respect to many products, is considered among the market leaders. TRUCK Seasonal Fluctuations -- Sales of this segment are not affected by seasonal fluctuations. Significant Customers -- Approximately 77% of this segment's net sales in 2005 were made to divisions and subsidiaries of five original equipment manufacturers of heavy-, medium-, and light-duty trucks and off-highway vehicles, concentrated in North America, Europe and Latin America. Two of these customers are also significant customers of the Automotive and Fluid Power segments. Competition -- Principal methods of competition in this segment are price, service and product performance. Eaton has a strong competitive position in relation to the many competitors in this segment and, with respect to many products, is considered among the market leaders. AUTOMOTIVE Seasonal Fluctuations -- Sales of this segment historically are lower in the third quarter than in other quarters during the year as a result of the normal seasonal pattern of automotive industry production. Significant Customers -- Approximately 58% of this segment's net sales in 2005 were made to divisions and subsidiaries of four large original equipment manufacturers of vehicles and two automotive component suppliers. All of these customers are concentrated in North America and Europe. Three of these customers are also significant customers of the Fluid Power segment, and two of these customers are also significant customers of the Truck segment. Competition -- Principal methods of competition in this segment are price, service and product performance. Eaton has a strong competitive position in relation to the many competitors in this segment and, with respect to many products, is considered among the market leaders. INFORMATION CONCERNING EATON'S BUSINESS IN GENERAL RAW MATERIALS -- Principal raw materials used are iron, steel, copper, nickel, aluminum, brass, silver, molybdenum, titanium, vanadium, rubber, plastic and insulating materials. Materials are purchased in various forms, such as extrusions, castings, powder metal, metal sheets and strips, forging billets, bar stock and plastic pellets. Raw materials, as well as parts and other components, are purchased from many suppliers and, under normal circumstances, the Company has no difficulty obtaining them. In 2005, due to raw materials supply shortages resulting from higher global demand, Eaton paid higher prices for basic metals. At the end of 2005, the Company maintained higher levels of inventory to guard against basic metals shortages. PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS -- Eaton views its name and mark as significant to its business as a whole. Eaton's products are marketed with a portfolio of patents, trademarks, licenses or other forms of intellectual property that expire at various dates in the future. Eaton develops and acquires new intellectual property on an ongoing basis and considers all of its intellectual property to be valuable. However, based on the broad scope of Eaton's product lines, management believes that the loss or expiration of any single intellectual property right would not have a material effect on the results of operation or financial position of Eaton or its business segments. Eaton's policy is to file applications and obtain patents for its new products including product modifications and improvements. While patents generally expire 20 years after the patent application filing date, new patents are issued to Eaton on a regular basis. ORDER BACKLOG -- Since a significant portion of open orders placed with Eaton by original equipment manufacturers of trucks, off-highway vehicles and passenger cars are historically subject to month-to-month releases by customers during each model year, such orders are not considered firm. In measuring backlog of orders, the Company includes only the amount of such orders released by such customers as of the dates listed. Using this criterion, total backlog at December 31, 2005 and 2004 was approximately $2.0 billion and $1.5 billion, respectively. Backlog should not be relied upon as being indicative of results of operations for future periods. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT -- Research and development expenses for new products and improvement of existing products in 2005, 2004 and 2003 (in millions) were $287, $261 and $223, respectively. Over the past five years, the Company has invested approximately $1.2 billion in research and development. PROTECTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT -- Operations of the Company involve the use and disposal of certain substances regulated under environmental protection laws. Eaton continues to modify certain processes on an ongoing, regular basis in order to reduce the impact on the environment, including the reduction or elimination of certain chemicals used in, and wastes generated from, operations. Compliance with Federal, State and local provisions which have been enacted or adopted regulating the discharge of materials into the environment, or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment, are not expected to have a material adverse effect upon earnings or the competitive position of the Company. Eaton's estimated capital expenditures for environmental control facilities are not expected to be material for 2006 and 2007. Information regarding the Company's liabilities related to environmental matters is presented in "Protection of the Environment" on page F-20 of this report. FOREIGN OPERATIONS -- Financial information related to Eaton's foreign operations is presented in "Business Segment & Geographic Information" on page F-26 of this report. Information regarding risks that may affect Eaton's foreign operations is presented in Item 1A of this Form 10-K. ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS Among the risks that could materially adversely affect Eaton's business, financial condition or results of operations are the following: DOWNTURNS IN THE END MARKETS THAT EATON SERVES MAY NEGATIVELY IMPACT EATON'S SEGMENT REVENUES AND PROFITABILITY. Eaton's segment revenues, operating results and profitability have varied in the past and may vary from quarter to quarter in the future. Profitability can be negatively impacted by volatility in the end markets that Eaton serves, although the Company has undertaken measures to reduce the impact of such volatility. Future downturns in any of the markets that Eaton serves could adversely affect the Company's overall sales and operating results. EATON'S OPERATING RESULTS DEPEND IN PART ON CONTINUED SUCCESSFUL RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT AND MARKETING OF NEW AND/OR IMPROVED PRODUCTS AND SERVICES, AND THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT EATON WILL CONTINUE TO SUCCESSFULLY INTRODUCE NEW PRODUCTS AND SERVICES. The success of new and improved products and services depends on their initial and continued acceptance by Eaton's customers. The Company's businesses are affected by varying degrees of technological change and corresponding shifts in customer demand, which could result in unpredictable product transitions or shortened life cycles. Eaton may experience difficulties or delays in the research, development, production and/or marketing of new products and services which may negatively impact the Company's operating results and prevent Eaton from recouping or realizing a return on the investments required to bring new products and services to market. EATON'S OPERATIONS DEPEND ON PRODUCTION FACILITIES THROUGHOUT THE WORLD, MANY OF WHICH ARE LOCATED OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES AND ARE SUBJECT TO INCREASED RISKS OF DISRUPTED PRODUCTION. Eaton manages businesses with manufacturing facilities worldwide, many of which are located outside the United States. The Company's manufacturing facilities and operations could be disrupted by a natural disaster, labor strike, war, political unrest, terrorist activity or public health concerns. Eaton's non-United States (foreign) manufacturing facilities also may be more susceptible to economic and political upheaval than Eaton's domestic facilities. Any such disruption could cause delays in shipments of products and the loss of sales and customers, and insurance proceeds may not adequately compensate the Company. EATON'S SUBSTANTIAL FOREIGN SALES SUBJECT IT TO ECONOMIC RISK AS EATON'S RESULTS OF OPERATIONS MAY BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY CHANGES IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS AND POLICIES AND FOREIGN CURRENCY FLUCTUATIONS. As noted above in Item 1 "Foreign Operations", a significant portion of Eaton's sales are outside the United States, and the Company expects sales in foreign markets to continue to represent a significant portion of Eaton's total sales. Foreign sales and operations are subject to changes in local government regulations and policies, including those related to tariffs and trade barriers, investments, taxation, exchange controls, and repatriation of earnings. Changes in the relative values of currencies occur from time to time and could affect Eaton's operating results. While the Company monitors exchange rate exposures and attempts to reduce these exposures through hedging activities, these risks could adversely affect the Company's operating results. EATON USES A VARIETY OF RAW MATERIALS AND COMPONENTS IN ITS BUSINESSES, AND SIGNIFICANT SHORTAGES OR PRICE INCREASES COULD INCREASE OPERATING COSTS AND ADVERSELY IMPACT THE COMPETITIVE POSITIONS OF EATON'S PRODUCTS. Eaton's major requirements for raw materials include iron, steel, copper, nickel, aluminum, brass, silver, molybdenum, titanium, vanadium, rubber, plastic and insulating materials. The Company has multiple sources of supply for each of its major requirements and is not significantly dependent on any one or a few suppliers. In 2005, Eaton experienced price increases for basic metals due to raw materials supply shortages resulting from higher global demand. At the end of 2005, Eaton maintained higher levels of inventory to guard against basic metals shortages. Nonetheless, significant shortages in excess of those experienced in 2005 could affect the prices Eaton's affected businesses are charged and the competitive position of their products and services, all of which could adversely affect Eaton's results of operations. EATON ENGAGES IN ACQUISITIONS, AND MAY ENCOUNTER UNEXPECTED DIFFICULTIES IDENTIFYING, PRICING OR INTEGRATING THOSE BUSINESSES. Eaton seeks to grow, in part, through strategic acquisitions and joint venture arrangements intended to complement or expand the Company's businesses, and will continue to do so in the future. The success of these transactions will depend on Eaton's ability to identify and price these arrangements. Success will also depend on the Company's ability to integrate assets and personnel acquired in these transactions and to cooperate with the Company's strategic partners. Eaton may encounter unexpected difficulties in integrating acquisitions with Eaton's existing operations, and in managing strategic investments. Furthermore, the Company may not realize the degree, or timing, of benefits Eaton anticipated when it first entered into a transaction. Any of the foregoing could adversely affect the Company's business and results of operations. EATON MAY BE UNABLE TO ADEQUATELY PROTECT ITS INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, WHICH COULD AFFECT THE COMPANY'S ABILITY TO COMPETE. Protecting Eaton's intellectual property rights is critical to the Company's ability to compete and succeed as a company. The Company owns a large number of United States and foreign patents and patent applications, as well as trademark and copyright registrations that are necessary, and contribute significantly, to the preservation of Eaton's competitive position in the market. Although management believes that the loss or expiration of any single intellectual property right would not have a material effect on the results of operations or financial position of Eaton or its business segments, there can be no assurance that any one, or more, of these patents and other intellectual property will not be challenged, invalidated or circumvented by third parties. Eaton enters into confidentiality and invention assignment agreements with the Company's employees, and into non-disclosure agreements with Eaton's suppliers and appropriate customers so as to limit access to and disclosure of the Company's proprietary information. These measures may not suffice to deter misappropriation or independent third party development of similar technologies. Moreover, the protection provided to Eaton's intellectual property by the laws and courts of foreign nations may not be as advantageous to Eaton as the remedies available under United States law. EATON IS SUBJECT TO LITIGATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS THAT COULD ADVERSELY IMPACT EATON'S OPERATING RESULTS. At any given time, Eaton may be subject to litigation, the disposition of which may have a material adverse effect on the Company. Information regarding the Company's current legal proceedings is presented in "Protection of the Environment" and "Contingencies" on page F-20 of this report. EATON ENGAGES IN MARKETS THAT ARE COMPETITIVE AND EATON'S RESULTS COULD BE ADVERSELY IMPACTED BY COMPETITORS' ACTIONS. Eaton's businesses operate in competitive markets. The Company competes against other global manufacturers on the basis of price and quality, in addition to other factors. While Eaton's pricing and quality initiatives have been competitive strengths in the past, actions by Eaton's competitors could lead to downward pressure on prices and/or a decline in the Company's market share, either of which could adversely affect Eaton's results. ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS Eaton received comment letters from the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 4 and November 25, 2005. There are no unresolved staff comments. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES Eaton's world headquarters is located in Cleveland, Ohio. The Company maintains manufacturing facilities at 210 locations in 32 countries, including 31 light-manufacturing and fabrication facilities. The Company is a lessee under a number of operating leases for certain real properties and equipment, none of which is material to its operations. Management believes that the existing manufacturing facilities are adequate for operations, and such facilities are maintained in good condition. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Information regarding the Company's current legal proceedings is presented in "Protection of the Environment" and "Contingencies" on page F-20 of this report. ITEM 4.

ITEM 9. CHANGE IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE None. ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures -- Pursuant to SEC Rule 13a-15, an evaluation was performed, under the supervision and with the participation of Eaton's management, including Alexander M. Cutler -- Chairman and Chief Executive Officer; President and Richard H. Fearon - Executive Vice President -- Chief Financial and Planning Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, Eaton's management concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2005. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in Company reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in Company reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting -- During fourth quarter 2005, there was no change in Eaton's internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting. "Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting" is presented on page F-4 of this report. "Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm" on "Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting" is presented on page F-3 of this report. ITEM 9B.

- ---------- (1) These plans are the Company's 2004 Stock Plan, 2002 Stock Plan, 1998 Stock Plan, 1995 Stock Plan, 1991 Stock Option Plan, and the Incentive Compensation Deferral Plans. (2) The 2005 Non-Employee Director Fee Deferral Plan (the "2005 Plan"), the 1996 Non-Employee Director Fee Deferral Plan (the "1996 Plan") and the Deferred Incentive Compensation Plan (the "DIC Plan") are not considered "equity compensation plans" requiring shareholder approval under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange. Under the 2005 Plan and the 1996 Plan, all non-employee directors are entitled to defer payment of their fees and allocate the deferred amounts between short-term deferred fees and retirement deferred fees, which differ in terms of earnings and method and timing of distribution. Short-term deferred fees are credited with interest based on the quarterly average yield of the 13-week U.S. Treasury bill and are distributable in cash. At least 50% of deferred amounts allocated to retirement deferred fees are converted into Company share units, earn Company share price appreciation plus dividend equivalents, and are distributable in Company shares. The balance of retirement deferred fees earn 10-year U.S. Treasury note returns plus 300 basis points and are distributable in cash. Under the 2005 Plan, prior to the beginning of each calendar year, plan participants elect the method and timing of payment with respect to the fees to be earned in that year. For short-term deferred fees, participants can elect to receive distributions in a lump sum or in equal annual installments over a period not to exceed five years commencing in the year selected by the plan participant, which cannot be earlier than the second year following the calendar year in which fees are deferred. For retirement deferred fees, plan participants can elect to receive distributions in a lump sum or in equal annual installments over a period not to exceed 15 years following retirement. Under the 1996 Plan, the Governance Committee determines, upon the participant's retirement or other termination of services as a director, whether fees deferred are distributable in a lump sum or in equal annual installments and whether the amounts converted to Company share units are distributable in cash or Company common shares. Both the 2005 Plan and the 1996 Plan provide for accelerated payout upon the occurrence of certain events including those involving a change in control of the Company. Under the DIC Plan, participants, including officers and other eligible executives, are able to defer receipt of their annual incentive compensation award as either short-term deferrals (five years) or retirement compensation. Amounts deferred as retirement compensation earn the greater of Company share price appreciation plus dividend equivalents or 13-week U.S. Treasury bill returns until paid. This determination is made at the time of each payment, whether made in a lump sum or installments. Short-term deferrals earn 13-week U.S. Treasury bill returns. Amounts deferred as retirement compensation which are converted to Company share units are payable in Company common shares, either in a lump sum or periodic installments, as determined by the Company's Corporate Compensation Committee which is comprised of Company officers. Participants were able to defer the full amount of eligible cash compensation under the 2005 Plan, the 1996 Plan and the EIC Plan. To the extent cash compensation is deferred pursuant to these Plans, or pursuant to the Incentive Compensation Deferral Plan, the Company may be able to preserve the deductibility of the compensation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. However, in some circumstances cash compensation paid to executive officers is not deductible by the Company. (3) Includes an aggregate of 263,040 restricted shares, 2,423,690 performance-vested stock options and 475,329 shares underlying stock units, payable on a one-for-one basis, credited to stock unit accounts as of December 31, 2005 under the Incentive Compensation Deferral Plans. (4) Represents shares underlying stock units, payable on a one-for-one basis, credited to stock unit accounts as of December 31, 2005 under the 2005 Non-Employee Director Fee Deferral Plan, the 1996 Non-Employee Director Fee Deferral Plan and the Deferred Incentive Compensation Plan. (5) Weighted average exercise price of outstanding stock options; excludes restricted stock and deferred compensation share units. ITEM 13.

Fearon, Attorney-in-Fact for the officers and directors signing in the capacities indicated Consolidated Financial Statements of Eaton Corporation REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Directors & Shareholders Eaton Corporation We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Eaton Corporation as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related statements of consolidated income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (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 consolidated financial position of Eaton Corporation at December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005, in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles. We also have audited in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of Eaton Corporation's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on criteria established in Internal Control -- Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 10, 2006 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon. /s/ Ernst & Young LLP - --------------------- Cleveland, Ohio February 10, 2006 F-1 MANAGEMENT'S REPORT ON FINANCIAL STATEMENTS We have prepared the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related information of Eaton Corporation included herein for the three years ended December 31, 2005. The primary responsibility for the integrity of the financial information included in this annual report rests with management. The financial information included in this annual report has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States based on our best estimates and judgments and giving due consideration to materiality. The opinion of Ernst & Young LLP, Eaton's independent registered public accounting firm, on those financial statements is included herein. Eaton has high standards of ethical business practices supported by the Eaton Code of Ethics and corporate policies. Careful attention is given to selecting, training and developing personnel, to ensure that management's objectives of establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls and unbiased, uniform reporting standards are attained. Our policies and procedures provide reasonable assurance that operations are conducted in conformity with law and with the Company's commitment to a high standard of business conduct. The Board of Directors pursues its responsibility for the quality of Eaton's financial reporting primarily through its Audit Committee, which is composed of four independent directors. The Audit Committee meets regularly with management, the internal auditors and the independent registered public accounting firm to ensure that they are meeting their responsibilities and to discuss matters concerning accounting, control, audits and financial reporting.

February 10, 2006 F-2 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Directors & Shareholders Eaton Corporation We have audited management's assessment, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, that Eaton Corporation maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on criteria established in Internal Control -- Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Eaton Corporation's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management's assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management's assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. As indicated in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, management's assessment of and conclusion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting excluded entities that were acquired during 2005. On a combined basis, these entities represented approximately 1% of net sales for 2005 and 4% of total assets at December 31, 2005. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting of Eaton Corporation also did not include an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting for entities acquired in 2005. In our opinion, management's assessment that Eaton Corporation maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the COSO criteria. Also in our opinion, Eaton Corporation maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on the COSO criteria. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Eaton Corporation as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related statements of consolidated income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005 and our report dated February 10, 2006 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon. /s/ Ernst & Young LLP - --------------------- Cleveland, Ohio February 10, 2006 F-3 MANAGEMENT'S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING The management of Eaton Corporation is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act rules 13a-15(f)). Under the supervision and with the participation of Eaton's management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005. Our evaluation of internal control over financial reporting excluded those entities that were acquired during 2005. On a combined basis, these entities represented approximately 1% of net sales for 2005 and 4% of total assets at December 31, 2005. In conducting this evaluation, we used the framework set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control - Integrated Framework. Based on this evaluation under the framework referred to above, management concluded that the Company's internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2005. The independent registered public accounting firm Ernst & Young LLP has issued an audit report on management's assessment of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005. This report is included herein. /s/ Alexander M. Cutler /s/ Richard H. Fearon /s/ Billie K.

The notes on pages F-10 to F-27 are an integral part of the consolidated financial statements. F-9 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Dollars in millions, except per share data (per share data assume dilution) ACCOUNTING POLICIES CONSOLIDATION & BASIS OF PRESENTATION The consolidated financial statements include accounts of Eaton and all subsidiaries and other controlled entities. The equity method of accounting is used for investments in associate companies where the Company has a 20% to 50% ownership interest. These associate companies are not material either individually, or in the aggregate, to Eaton's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Eaton does not have off-balance sheet arrangements or financings with unconsolidated entities or other persons. In the ordinary course of business, the Company leases certain real properties and equipment, as described in "Lease Commitments" in the Notes below. Transactions with related parties are in the ordinary course of business, are conducted on an arm's-length basis, and are not material to Eaton's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION The functional currency for substantially all subsidiaries outside the United States is the local currency. Financial statements for these subsidiaries are translated into United States dollars at year-end exchange rates as to assets and liabilities and weighted-average exchange rates as to revenues and expenses. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in Shareholders' equity. INVENTORIES Inventories are carried at lower of cost or market. Inventories in the United States are generally accounted for using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method. Remaining United States and all other inventories are accounted for using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Cost components include raw materials, purchased components, direct labor, indirect labor, utilities, depreciation, inbound freight charges, purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs, warehousing costs, internal transfer costs, and costs of the distribution network. In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 151, "Inventory Costs". SFAS No. 151 amends the guidance in Accounting Research Bulletin No. 43, Chapter 4, "Inventory Pricing", to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). SFAS No. 151 will be effective for Eaton in 2006 and is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. DEPRECIATION & AMORTIZATION Depreciation and amortization are computed by the straight-line method for financial statement purposes. Cost of buildings is depreciated over 40 years and machinery and equipment over principally 3 to 10 years. At December 31, 2005, the amortization periods for intangible assets subject to amortization were 7 to 14 years for patents, 20 years for tradenames, 15 to 30 years for distributor channels, and 5 to 16 years for manufacturing technology and customer agreements. Software is amortized over a range of 3 to 5 years. Long-lived assets, except goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets as described in the Notes below, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Events or circumstances that would result in an impairment review primarily include operations reporting losses, a significant change in the use of an asset, or the planned disposal or sale of the asset. The asset would be considered impaired when the future net undiscounted cash flows generated by the asset are less than its carrying value. An impairment loss would be recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value. GOODWILL & INDEFINITE LIFE INTANGIBLE ASSETS In accordance with SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", Eaton does not amortize goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets recorded in connection with business acquisitions. Indefinite life intangible assets primarily consist of trademarks. The Company completed the annual impairment tests for goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets required by SFAS No. 142. These tests confirmed that the fair value of the Company's reporting units and indefinite life intangible assets exceed their respective carrying values and that no impairment loss was required to be recognized. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS In the normal course of business, Eaton is exposed to fluctuations in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, and commodity prices. The Company uses various financial instruments, primarily foreign currency forward exchange contracts, foreign currency swaps, interest rate swaps and, to a minor extent, commodity futures contracts, to manage exposure to price fluctuations. Financial instruments used by Eaton are straightforward, non-leveraged instruments for which quoted market prices are readily available from a number of independent sources. The risk of credit loss is deemed to be remote, because the counterparties to these instruments are major international financial institutions with strong credit ratings and because of the Company's control over the size of positions entered into with any one counterparty. Such financial instruments are not bought and sold solely for trading purposes, except for nominal amounts authorized under limited, controlled circumstances. No such financial instruments were purchased or sold for trading purposes in 2005 and 2004. Such transactions resulted in a net loss in 2003 that was not material. F-10 All derivative financial instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet and are measured at fair value. Accounting for the gain or loss resulting from the change in the financial instrument's fair value depends on whether it has been designated, and is effective, as a hedge and, if so, on the nature of the hedging activity. Financial instruments can be designated as hedges of changes in the fair value of a recognized fixed-rate asset or liability, or the firm commitment to acquire such an asset or liability; as hedges of variable cash flows of a recognized variable-rate asset or liability, or the forecasted acquisition of such an asset or liability; or as hedges of foreign currency exposure from a net investment in one of the Company's foreign operations. Gains and losses related to a hedge are either recognized in income immediately to offset the gain or loss on the hedged item; or deferred and reported as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in Shareholders' equity and subsequently recognized in net income when the hedged item affects net income. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of a financial instrument is recognized in income immediately. The gain or loss related to financial instruments that are not designated as hedges are recognized immediately in net income. WARRANTY EXPENSES Estimated product warranty expenses are accrued in Cost of products sold at the time the related sale is recognized. Estimates of warranty expenses are based primarily on historical warranty claim experience and specific customer contracts. Warranty expenses include accruals for basic warranties for products sold, as well as accruals for product recalls and other related events when they are known and estimable. ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS In March 2005, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 47, "Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations" (FIN 47), to clarify the term "conditional asset retirement" as used in SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations". FIN 47 requires that a liability be recognized for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation when incurred, if the fair value of the liability can be reasonably estimated. Uncertainty about the timing or method of settlement of a conditional asset retirement obligation would be factored into the measurement of the liability when sufficient information exists. Eaton believes that for substantially all of its asset retirement obligations, there is an indeterminate settlement date because the range of time over which the Company may settle the obligation is unknown or cannot be estimated. Since these obligations are not reasonably estimable due to insufficient information about the timing and method of settlement of the obligation, these obligations have not been recorded in the consolidated financial statements, in accordance with SFAS No. 143. A liability for these obligations will be recorded in the period when sufficient information regarding timing and method of settlement becomes available to make a reasonable estimate of the liability's fair value. STOCK OPTIONS GRANTED TO EMPLOYEES & DIRECTORS Stock options granted to employees and directors to purchase Common Shares are accounted for using the intrinsic-value-based method, as allowed by SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation". Under this method, no compensation expense is recognized on the grant date, since on that date the option price equals the market price of the underlying shares. Eaton has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 123. If the Company recognized compensation expense for its stock options under the fair-value-based method of SFAS No. 123, net income per Common Share assuming dilution would have been reduced by $.12 in 2005 and $.08 in 2004 and 2003, as further described in the "Shareholders' Equity" Note below. In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R). This Statement eliminates the alternative of using the intrinsic-value-based method of accounting for stock options that was provided in SFAS No. 123. The Statement requires entities to recognize the expense of employee and director services received in exchange for stock options, based on the grant date fair value of those awards. That expense will be recognized over the period the employee or director is required to provide service in exchange for the award. On April 14, 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) published a rule that had the effect of allowing companies with fiscal years ending December 31 to delay the quarter in which they begin to expense stock options to first quarter 2006. Eaton will expense stock options beginning in first quarter 2006. The Company estimates that the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) will reduce net income per Common Share assuming dilution in 2006 by approximately $.16. REVENUE RECOGNITION Sales are recognized when products are shipped to unaffiliated customers, all significant risks of ownership have been transferred to the customer, title has transferred in accordance with shipping terms (FOB shipping point or FOB destination), the selling price is fixed and determinable, all significant related acts of performance have been completed, and no other significant uncertainties exist. Shipping and handling costs billed to customers are included in Net sales and the related costs in Cost of products sold. Other revenues for service contracts are recognized as the services are provided. ESTIMATES Preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions in certain circumstances that affect amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. FINANCIAL PRESENTATION CHANGES Certain amounts for prior years have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. F-11 ACQUISITIONS OF BUSINESSES In 2005, 2004, and 2003, Eaton acquired certain businesses and formed joint ventures in separate transactions for a combined net cash purchase price of $911 in 2005, $627 in 2004 and $252 in 2003. The Statements of Consolidated Income include the results of these businesses from the effective dates of acquisition or formation. A summary of these transactions for 2005, and larger transactions in 2004 and 2003, follows:

As described above, on June 9, 2004, Eaton acquired Powerware Corporation, the electrical power systems business of Invensys plc, for a final cash purchase price of $573, less cash acquired of $27. Powerware's assets and liabilities were recorded at estimated fair values as determined by Eaton's management. The allocation of the purchase price for this acquisition is summarized below: F-12
Current assets .............................. $ 302 Property, plant & equipment ................. 35 Goodwill .................................... 397 Other intangible assets ..................... 96 Other assets ................................ 53 ---------- Total assets acquired .................... 883 Total liabilities assumed ................... 337 ---------- Net assets acquired ...................... $ 546 ==========
Other intangible assets of $96 included $24 related to trademarks that are not subject to amortization. The remaining $72 was assigned to patents and other intangible assets that have a weighted-average useful life of 8 years. Goodwill of $397 relates to the Electrical segment, substantially all of which is non-deductible for income tax purposes. Unaudited pro forma results of operations for 2004, as if Eaton and Powerware had been combined as of the beginning of that year, follow. The pro forma results include estimates and assumptions, which Eaton's management believes are reasonable. However, the pro forma results do not include any cost savings or other effects of the planned integration of Powerware, and, accordingly, are not necessarily indicative of the results which would have occurred if the business combination had been in effect in 2004.

Expense related to intangible assets subject to amortization for 2005 was $30. Estimated annual pretax expense for intangible assets subject to amortization for each of the next five years is $29 in 2006 through 2009 and $27 in 2010. DEBT & OTHER FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Short-term debt of $394 at December 31, 2005 included $365 of short-term commercial paper for operations in the United States and $29 for operations outside the United States. Borrowings for operations in the United States included Euro 200 million of commercial paper. The foreign exchange translation gain or loss related to the Euro denominated commercial paper is recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in Shareholders' equity, since these borrowings serve as a hedge of the Company's net assets of operations in Europe. Borrowings for operations outside the United States were largely denominated in local currencies. The weighted-average interest rate on the $365 of short-term commercial paper was 3.1% at December 31, 2005. The weighted-average interest rate on short-term debt for operations outside the United States was 5.0% at December 31, 2005 and 15.7% at December 31, 2004, which included the effect of $10 of debt in Brazil with an interest rate of 18.2% at the end of 2004. Operations outside the United States have available short-term lines of credit aggregating $291 from various banks worldwide. A summary of long-term debt, including the current portion, follows:

Eaton's United States operations have long-term revolving credit facilities of $1 billion, of which $300 will expire in May 2008 and the remaining $700 in March 2010. One of the Company's international subsidiaries has a long-term line of credit of Euro 100 million. The Euro 100 million floating rate notes due 2008, which have a U.S. dollar equivalent of $118 at December 31, 2005, were borrowed under this line of credit. Aggregate mandatory annual maturities of long-term debt for each of the next five years are $240 in 2006, $291 in 2007, $121 in 2008, $17 in 2009, and $0 in 2010. Interest paid was $113 in 2005, $96 in 2004, and $105 in 2003. Eaton has entered into fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk. These interest rate swaps are accounted for as fair value hedges of certain of the Company's long-term debt.

PENSION PLANS SFAS No. 87 requires recognition of a minimum liability for those pension plans with accumulated benefit obligations in excess of the fair values of plan assets at the end of the year. Accordingly, in 2005, 2004 and 2003, Eaton recorded non-cash charges in Accumulated other comprehensive loss in Shareholders' equity of $100, $73 and $27, respectively, ($64, $48, and $17 after-tax, respectively) related to the additional minimum liability for certain underfunded pension plans. Pension funding requirements are not affected by the recording of these charges. The total accumulated benefit obligation for all pension plans at December 31, 2005 was $2,544 and at year-end 2004 was $2,329. The components of pension plans with an accumulated benefit obligation in excess of plan assets at December 31 follow: F-17
2005 2004 ---------- ---------- Projected benefit obligation ...... $ 2,771 $ 2,523 Accumulated benefit obligation .... 2,533 2,260 Fair value of plan assets ......... 1,902 1,773
The measurement date for all pension plans is November 30. Assumptions used to determine pension benefit obligations at year-end follow:

The expected long-term rate of return on pension plan assets was determined separately for each country and reflects long-term historical data, with greater weight given to recent years, and takes into account each plan's target asset allocation. The weighted-average pension plan asset allocations by asset category at December 31, 2005 and 2004 are as follows:
2005 2004 ---------- ---------- Equity securities ................. 79% 80% Debt securities ................... 18% 19% Other ............................. 3% 1% ---------- ---------- 100% 100% ========== ==========
Investment policies and strategies are developed on a country specific basis. The United States plan represents 71% of worldwide pension assets and its target allocation is 85% diversified equity, 12% United States Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities, and 3% cash equivalents. The United Kingdom plan represents 23% of worldwide pension assets and its target allocation is 70% diversified equity securities and 30% United Kingdom Government Bonds. In 2006, Eaton expects to contribute $146 to pension plans, primarily consisting of a voluntary contribution of $100 in the United States, which was announced in January 2006, and a $13 voluntary contribution in the United Kingdom. In 2005, Eaton made pension contributions of $97, which included voluntary contributions of $50 in the United States and $14 in the United Kingdom, as well as other contributions of $33. In 2004, the Company made pension contributions of $134, which included voluntary contributions of $75 in the United States and $18 in the United Kingdom, as well as other contributions of $41. F-18 At December 31, 2005, expected pension benefit payments for each of the next five years and the five years thereafter in the aggregate are $167 in 2006, $175 in 2007, $189 in 2008, $198 in 2009, $205 in 2010, and $1,185 in 2011-2015. The Company also has various defined-contribution benefit plans, primarily consisting of the Eaton Savings Plan in the United States. Total contributions related to these plans charged to expense were $48 in 2005, $44 in 2004, and $40 in 2003. OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS The components of other postretirement benefits cost follow:

The Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 (the Act) was passed on December 8, 2003. The Act provides for prescription drug benefits under Medicare Part D and contains a subsidy to plan sponsors who provide actuarially equivalent prescription plans. Eaton recognized the initial effect of the Act in 2004. At that time, the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation decreased by $51, with an offsetting change in unrecognized net actuarial loss. The reduction was attributable to the Federal subsidy and an expected reduction in the number of retirees electing coverage under the Company's other postretirement benefit plans. In addition, the Act reduced 2004 net periodic other postretirement benefit costs by $6. In January 2005, final guidance was issued to plan sponsors regarding the determination of actuarial equivalence. Based on this guidance, the Company will continue to qualify for the retiree drug subsidy. The final guidance further reduced Eaton's accumulated postretirement benefit obligation by $60 in 2005, with an offsetting change in unrecognized net actuarial loss, and reduced 2005 net periodic other postretirement benefit costs by an additional $7. The reduction in the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation and ongoing net periodic cost did not require a modification or amendment of the Company's benefit plans. However, if certain plans were amended, the Act could further reduce both the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation and ongoing net periodic cost. At December 31, 2005, expected other postretirement benefit payments for each of the next five years and the five years thereafter in the aggregate are $97 in 2006, $98 in 2007, $97 in 2008, $95 in 2009, $94 in 2010, and $425 in 2011-2015. The expected subsidy receipts related to the Act that are included in the other postretirement benefit payments listed above for each of the next five years and the five years thereafter in the aggregate are $8 in 2006, $9 in 2007 and 2008, $10 in 2009 and 2010, and $53 in 2011-2015. F-19 PROTECTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT Eaton has established policies to ensure that its operations are conducted in keeping with good corporate citizenship and with a positive commitment to the protection of the natural and workplace environments. For example, each manufacturing facility has a person responsible for environmental, health and safety (EHS) matters. All of the Company's manufacturing facilities are required to be certified to ISO 14001, an international standard for environmental management systems. The Company routinely reviews EHS performance at each of its facilities and continuously strives to improve pollution prevention at its facilities. As a result of past operations, Eaton is involved in remedial response and voluntary environmental remediation at a number of sites, including certain of its currently-owned or formerly-owned plants. The Company has also been named a potentially responsible party (PRP) under the Federal Superfund law at a number of waste disposal sites. A number of factors affect the cost of environmental remediation, including the number of parties involved at a particular site, the determination of the extent of contamination, the length of time the remediation may require, the complexity of environmental regulations, and the continuing advancement of remediation technology. Taking these factors into account, Eaton has estimated (without discounting) the costs of remediation, which will be incurred over a period of several years. The Company accrues an amount consistent with the estimates of these costs when it is probable that a liability has been incurred. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, the balance sheet included a liability for these costs of $75 and $69, respectively. Based upon Eaton's analysis and subject to the difficulty in estimating these future costs, the Company expects that any sum it may be required to pay in connection with environmental matters is not reasonably likely to exceed the liability by an amount that would have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. All of these estimates are forward-looking statements and, given the inherent uncertainties in evaluating environmental exposures, actual results can differ from these estimates. CONTINGENCIES Eaton is subject to a broad range of claims, administrative proceedings, and legal proceedings, such as lawsuits that relate to contractual allegations, patent infringement, personal injuries (including asbes- tos claims) and employment-related matters. Although it is not pos- sible to predict with certainty the outcome or cost of these matters, the Company believes that these matters will not have a material ad- verse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY There are 300 million Common Shares authorized ($.50 par value per share), 148.5 million of which were issued and outstanding at year-end 2005. At December 31, 2005, there were 9,265 holders of record of Common Shares. Additionally, 21,109 current and former employees were shareholders through participation in the Eaton Savings Plan (ESP) and Eaton Personal Investment Plan (EPIP). On April 18, 2005, Eaton's Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to 10 million of its Common Shares. In second quarter 2005, 3.38 million shares were repurchased in the open market at a total cost of $200. No shares were repurchased in the third or fourth quarters of 2005. The remainder of the shares are expected to be repurchased over time, depending on market conditions, share price, capital levels and other considerations. During first quarter 2005, Eaton repurchased 3.63 million Common Shares in the open market at a total cost of $250. This completed the plan announced on January 24, 2005 to repurchase $250 of shares to help offset dilution from shares issued during 2004 from the exercise of stock options. During first quarter 2004, Eaton repurchased 4.2 million Common Shares in the open market at a total cost of $250. This completed the plan announced on January 21, 2004 to repurchase 4.2 million shares to help offset dilution from shares issued during 2003 from the exercise of stock options. In June 2003, Eaton sold 7.4 million shares for net proceeds of $296, which were used to pay down commercial paper and for general corporate purposes. Eaton has plans that permit certain employees and directors to defer a portion of their compensation. The Company has deposited $32 of Common Shares and marketable securities into a trust at December 31, 2005 to fund a portion of these liabilities. The marketable securities are included in Other assets and the Common Shares are included in Shareholders' equity at historical cost. STOCK OPTIONS Under various plans, stock options have been granted to certain employees and directors to purchase Common Shares at prices equal to fair market value on the date of grant. Substantially all of these options vest ratably during the three-year period following the date of grant and expire 10 years from the date of grant. During 1997 and 1998, Eaton granted special performance-vested stock options with a 10-year vesting term in lieu of more standard employee stock options. These options have a provision for accelerated vesting if and when the Company achieves certain net income and Common Share price targets. If the targets are not achieved, these options become exercisable 10 days before the expiration of their 10-year term. As of December 31, 2005, 2.4 million special performance-vested stock options were outstanding of which .5 million were exercisable.

INCOME TAXES For financial statement reporting purposes, income before income taxes, based on the geographic location of the operation to which such earnings are attributable, is summarized below. Certain foreign operations are branches of Eaton and are, therefore, subject to United States as well as foreign income tax regulations. As a result, pretax income by location and the components of income tax expense by taxing jurisdiction are not directly related.

In fourth quarter 2004, Eaton recorded an income tax benefit of $30 resulting from the favorable resolution of multiple international and United States income tax items. This income tax benefit reduced the effective income tax rate for full year 2004 from 20.8% to 17.0%. Eaton has manufacturing operations in Puerto Rico that operate under certain United States tax law incentives related to the repatriation of earnings that will not be available after 2005. Income tax credits claimed under these incentives were $33 in 2005 and 2004, and $32 in 2003. Management believes the elimination of these repatriation laws will not have an adverse impact on the Company's effective income tax rate.

A valuation allowance of $29 has been recorded for the state and local tax credit carryforwards. A valuation allowance of $9 has also been recorded for certain other state and local deferred income tax assets. At December 31, 2005, certain non-United States subsidiaries had tax loss carryforwards aggregating $302 that are available to offset future taxable income. Carryforwards of $83 expire at various dates from 2006 through 2015 and the balance have no expiration date. A deferred tax asset of $92 has been recorded for these tax loss carryforwards and a valuation allowance of $82 has also been recorded for these tax loss carryforwards. No provision has been made for income taxes on undistributed earnings of consolidated non-United States subsidiaries of $2,011 at December 31, 2005, since it is the Company's intention to indefinitely reinvest undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries. It is not practicable to estimate the additional income taxes and applicable foreign withholding taxes that would be payable on the remittance of such undistributed earnings. On October 22, 2004, the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the Act) was signed into law. The Act provided for a special one-time tax deduction of 85% of certain foreign earnings that are repatriated (as defined in the Act) in 2005. In fourth quarter 2005, Eaton recorded income tax expense of $3 for the repatriation of $66 of foreign earnings under the Act. Worldwide income tax payments were $171 in 2005, $161 in 2004 and $137 in 2003.

F-27 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION & RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Dollars in millions, except for per share data (per share data assume dilution) OVERVIEW OF THE COMPANY Eaton is a diversified industrial manufacturer having 2005 sales of $11.1 billion. The Company is a global leader in the design, manufacture, marketing and servicing of electrical systems and components for power quality, distribution and control; fluid power systems and services for industrial, mobile and aircraft equipment; intelligent truck drivetrain systems for safety and fuel economy; and automotive engine air management systems, powertrain solutions and specialty controls for performance, fuel economy and safety. The principal markets for the Electrical segment are industrial, construction, commercial, automotive and government customers. The principal markets for the Fluid Power, Truck and Automotive segments are original equipment manufacturers and after-market customers of off-highway agricultural and construction vehicles, industrial equipment, passenger cars, heavy-, medium-, and light-duty trucks, and customers involved with aerospace products and systems. The Company had 59,000 employees at the end of 2005 and sells products to customers in more than 125 countries. HIGHLIGHTS OF RESULTS FOR 2005 Eaton experienced strong economic conditions in 2005 in most of its end markets and posted record financial results, with the Electrical, Fluid Power and Truck business segments reporting improved performance during 2005 compared to 2004. Results of the Automotive segment were hurt by both the flat North American Automotive market and the lower European market. During 2005, Eaton continued to make progress towards key corporate goals of 1) accelerating organic growth by outgrowing end markets, 2) acquiring and integrating new businesses and 3) managing its capital.
2005 2004 Increase ---------- ---------- ---------- Net sales ........................................ $ 11,115 $ 9,817 13% Gross margin ..................................... 3,103 2,735 13% Percent of net sales .......................... 27.9% 27.9% Net income ....................................... 805 648 24% Net income per Common Share assuming dilution .... $ 5.23 $ 4.13 27% Return on Shareholders' equity ................... 22.2% 19.9%
Net sales in 2005 were a new record for Eaton, surpassing the previous record set in 2004. Sales growth of 13% in 2005 consisted of 7% from organic growth, 5% from acquisitions of businesses (primarily the full-year effect of the Powerware electrical power systems business acquired on June 9, 2004), and 1% from foreign exchange rates. Organic growth included 5% from end-market growth and 2% from outgrowing end markets. Gross margin increased 13% in 2005 primarily due to sales growth, the benefits of integrating acquired businesses, continued productivity improvements driven by the Eaton Business System (EBS), and the full-year effect of the acquisition of Powerware. Improved gross margin in 2005 was also partially due to reduced restructuring charges in 2005. These improvements in gross margin were partially offset by higher pensions costs, and higher prices paid, primarily for basic metals, in 2005. Net income and net income per Common Share assuming dilution for 2005 were also new records for Eaton, increasing 24% and 27%, respectively, over 2004. These improvements were primarily due to sales growth and other factors described above. The improvement in net income also reflected pretax expenses in 2004 of $15 to exit a business and a $13 contribution to the Eaton Charitable Fund, with no similar expenses recorded in 2005. These factors contributing to the increase in net income were partially offset by higher interest expense and a higher effective income tax rate in 2005. Earnings per share also benefited from lower average shares outstanding in 2005 compared to 2004, due to the repurchase of 7.01 million shares in 2005, at a total cost of $450. In 2005, Eaton acquired various businesses in separate transactions. The Statements of Consolidated Income include the results of these businesses from the effective dates of acquisition. These acquisitions are summarized below: - -- On December 6, 2005, Eaton acquired the aerospace division of PerkinElmer, Inc., a provider of sealing and pneumatic systems for large commercial aircraft and regional jets. This business had sales of $150 for the 12 months ended June 30, 2005 and is included in the Fluid Power segment. - -- On November 1, 2005, the Company acquired the aerospace fluid and air division of Cobham plc, a provider of low-pressure airframe fuel systems, electro-mechanical actuation, air ducting, hydraulic and power generation, and fluid distribution systems for fuel, hydraulics and air. This business had 2004 sales of $210 and is included in the Fluid Power segment. - -- On October 11, 2005, the Company acquired the assets of one of its suppliers, Pringle Electrical Manufacturing Company. This business manufactures bolted contact switches and other specialty switches and had 2004 sales of $6, with one-third of these sales to Eaton. This business is included in the Electrical segment. F-28 - -- On September 6, 2005, the industrial filtration business of Hayward Industries, Inc., which produces filtration systems for industrial and commercial customers, was acquired. This business had sales of $100 for the 12 months ended June 30, 2005 and is included in the Fluid Power segment. - -- On August 17, 2005, Tractech Holdings, Inc., a manufacturer of specialized differentials and clutch components for the commercial and specialty vehicle markets, was acquired. This business had 2004 sales of $43 and is included in the Automotive segment. - -- On June 30, 2005, Morestana S.A. de C.V. (Morestana), a Mexican producer of hydraulic lifters for automotive engine manufacturers and the automotive aftermarket, was acquired. This business had 2004 sales of $13 and is included in the Automotive segment. - -- On June 17, 2005, the Company formed a joint venture to manufacture medium-voltage switchgear components in southern China. Eaton has 51% ownership of the joint venture. This business is included in the Electrical segment. - -- On March 31, 2005, Eaton acquired Winner Group Holdings Ltd. (Winner), a producer of hydraulic hose fittings and adapters for the Chinese market. This business had 2004 sales of $26 and is included in the Fluid Power segment. - -- On March 1, 2005, Pigozzi S.A. Engrenagens e Transmissoes (Pigozzi), a Brazilian agricultural powertrain business that produces transmissions, rotors and other drivetrain components, was acquired. This business had 2004 sales of $42 and is included in the Truck segment. Total debt of $2,464 at the end of 2005 increased $691 from $1,773 at year-end 2004. The increase was primarily due to the $381 increase in short-term debt, primarily commercial paper, and the issuance of $393 of long-term notes and debentures. The proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt and commercial paper were used as part of the financing for the purchase price of businesses acquired in 2005, which had a combined cash price of $911, and for the repurchase of 7.01 million Common Shares during the first half of 2005 at a total cost of $450. The net-debt-to-capital ratio was 36.0% at the end of 2005 compared to 29.1% at year-end 2004. The increase in this ratio reflected the $651 increase in net debt (total debt less cash and short-term investments), offset by the $172 increase in Shareholders' equity. Shareholders' equity of $3,778 was a new record, increasing from $3,606 at year-end 2004, primarily the result of net income of $805 in 2005, partially offset by the repurchase of 7.01 million Common Shares at a total cost of $450, as discussed above, and cash dividends paid of $184. Cash generated from operating activities of $1,135 in 2005 was a new record for Eaton, increasing by $297 over cash generated from operating activities of $838 in 2004. The increase was primarily due to higher net income in 2005, which rose $157 in 2005 over 2004, and also included a $50 contribution to the Company's United States qualified pension plan in 2005, which was lower than a similar contribution of $75 in 2004. Cash and short-term investments totaled $336 at the end of 2005, up $40 from $296 at year-end 2004. Net working capital of $610 at the end of 2005 decreased by $305 from $915 at year-end 2004. The decrease was primarily due to the $381 increase in short-term debt as described above and a $214 increase in current portion of long-term debt, which reflected the reclassification of certain long-term debt that will mature in 2006 to current liabilities. These decreases in working capital were partially offset by increases in accounts receivable due to higher sales in 2005 and in inventories due to high levels of inventory related to acquisitions of businesses completed during 2005 and purchases of additional inventory to guard against basic metals shortages. The current ratio was 1.2 at the end of 2005 and 1.4 at year-end 2004. In light of its strong results and future prospects, on January 23, 2006, Eaton announced that it was taking the following actions: - -- Increasing the quarterly dividend on its Common Shares by 13%, from $.31 per share to $.35 per share, effective for the February 2006 dividend - -- Making a voluntary contribution of $100 to its qualified pension plan in the United States RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -- 2005 COMPARED TO 2004

Sales for 2005 grew 13% compared to 2004 and were a record for Eaton. Sales growth in 2005 consisted of 7% from organic growth, 5% from acquisitions of businesses (primarily the full-year effect of the Powerware electrical power systems business acquired on June 9, 2004), and 1% from foreign exchange rates. Organic growth of 7% was comprised of 5% growth in Eaton's end markets and 2% from outgrowing end markets. F-29 Gross margin increased 13% in 2005, primarily due to sales growth, the benefits of integrating acquired businesses, continued productivity improvements driven by the Eaton Business System (EBS), and the full-year effect of the acquisition of Powerware. Improved gross margin in 2005 was also partially due to reduced restructuring charges in 2005, which were $36 compared to $41 in 2004. These increases in gross margin were partially offset by higher pension costs and higher prices paid, primarily for basic metals, in 2005. RESULTS BY GEOGRAPHIC REGION

(879) (730) ---------- ---------- $ 11,115 $ 9,817 13% ========== ==========
Growth in sales in the United States of 13% was due to higher sales in Electrical, which included the full-year effect of the acquisition of Powerware; sharply higher sales in Truck due to strong end market demand; and, to a lesser extent, increased sales in Fluid Power, which included sales of the aerospace division of PerkinElmer, Inc., the aerospace fluid and air division of Cobham plc, and the industrial filtration business of Hayward Industries, Inc., all of which were acquired in the second half of 2005. These increases in sales were partially offset by a sales reduction in Automotive. The 31% increase in operating profit in the United States was primarily the result of strong sales in Truck; higher profit of Electrical, including the full-year effect of the acquisition of Powerware; the benefits of integrating acquired businesses; and, to a lesser extent, increased profit of Fluid Power and Automotive. In Canada, growth of 21% in sales and 30% in operating profit were due to the full-year effect of the acquisition of Powerware and improved results in other Electrical businesses. Sales growth in Europe of 8% was due to higher sales in Electrical, largely the result of the full-year effect of the acquisition of Powerware; and, to a lesser extent, growth in Fluid Power, which included sales of the aerospace fluid and air division of Cobham plc, as well as growth in Automotive and Truck. Lower operating profit of 24% in Europe was primarily the result of a significant reduction in revenues in Fluid Power's automotive fluid connectors business, and reduced profit of Automotive, which included costs incurred in the fourth quarter to start-up new facilities in Eastern Europe. In Latin America, growth of 34% in sales and 27% in operating profit were largely due to significantly higher sales in Truck, which included the Pigozzi agricultural powertrain business acquired in March 2005; and, to a lesser extent, higher sales in Electrical, including the full-year effect of the acquisition of Powerware, and sales growth in Automotive, which included the Morestana hydraulic lifters business acquired in June 2005. Growth of 17% in sales of Asia/Pacific was due to the full-year effect of the acquisition of Powerware and higher sales of Fluid Power, which included the Winner hydraulics business acquired in March 2005. The 1% increase in operating profit primarily related to the full-year effect of the acquisition of Powerware and improved results of Fluid Power, partially offset by lower profit in Automotive and by start-up losses related to new operations of Truck. OTHER RESULTS OF OPERATIONS In 2005 and 2004, Eaton incurred restructuring charges related to the integration of primarily the following acquisitions: Powerware, the electrical power systems business acquired in June 2004; the electrical division of Delta plc acquired in January 2003; several acquisitions in Fluid Power, including Winner, Walterscheid acquired in September 2004, and Boston Weatherhead acquired in November 2002; the Pigozzi agricultural powertrain business; and the Morestana automotive lifter business. A summary of these charges follows:
2005 2004 ---------- ---------- Electrical ........................ $ 21 $ 33 Fluid Power ....................... 7 8 Truck ............................. 4 Automotive ........................ 4 ---------- ---------- Pretax charges .................... $ 36 $ 41 ========== ========== After-tax charges ................. $ 24 $ 27 Per Common Share .................. $ .15 $ .17
F-30 Restructuring charges in 2005 included $17 for the United States, $7 for Europe, $4 for Latin America and $8 for Asia/Pacific. Restructuring charges in 2004 included $22 for the United States, $18 for Europe and $1 for Asia/Pacific. The restructuring charges were included in the Statements of Consolidated Income in Cost of products sold or Selling & administrative expense, as appropriate. In Business Segment Information, the charges reduced Operating profit of the related business segment or were included in Other corporate expense-net, as appropriate. Pretax income for 2005 was reduced by $55 ($35 after-tax, or $.23 per Common Share) compared to 2004 due to increased pension and other postretirement benefit expense in 2005. This primarily resulted from the effect of the lower discount rates used in determining pension and other postretirement benefit liabilities at year-end 2004, coupled with the impact of declines during 2000 through 2002 in the market related value of equity investments held by Eaton's pension plans. Increased costs for other postretirement benefit expense were partially offset by the effect of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003, as further explained in "Retirement Benefit Plans" in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Net interest expense of $90 in 2005 increased by $12 from $78 in 2004. The increase was primarily due to the $691 net increase in total debt at the end of 2005 compared to the end of 2004, and, to a lesser extent, the increase in the interest rate on short-term debt during 2005. In December 2004, Eaton announced that it would exit its tire and refrigeration valve manufacturing business. The Company incurred charges of $15 ($10 after-tax, or $.06 per Common Share) principally for the write-down of fixed assets and workforce reductions. This business is in the Automotive segment. In the Statements of Consolidated Income and Business Segment Information, these charges were reported as a separate line item. This business was sold in March 2005. In 2004, a charge of $13 was recorded for a contribution to the Eaton Charitable Fund ($8 after-tax, or $.05 per Common Share). In the Statements of Consolidated Income, the charge was included in Other (income) expense-net. In Business Segment Information, the charge was included in Other corporate expense-net. The effective income tax rate for 2005 was 19.2% compared to 17.0% for 2004. The lower rate in 2004 was primarily due to an income tax benefit of $30 resulting from the favorable resolution in the fourth quarter of 2004 of multiple international and U.S. income tax issues. In fourth quarter 2005, Eaton recorded income tax expense of $3 for the repatriation of $66 of foreign earnings under the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004. This distribution does not change the Company's intention to indefinitely reinvest undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries and, therefore, no U.S. income tax provision has been recorded on the remaining amount of unremitted earnings. The change in the effective income tax rate in 2005 compared to 2004 is further explained in "Income Taxes" in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Net income and net income per Common Share assuming dilution for 2005 were new records for Eaton, increasing 24% and 27%, respectively, over 2004. These improvements were primarily due to sales growth and other factors described above. The improvement in net income also reflected pretax expenses in 2004 of $15 to exit a business and a $13 contribution to the Eaton Charitable Fund, with no similar expenses recorded in 2005. These improvements contributing to the increase in net income were partially offset by higher interest expense and a higher effective income tax rate in 2005. The increase in earnings per share also reflected lower average shares outstanding for periods in 2005 compared to 2004, due to the repurchase of 7.01 million shares in 2005, at a total cost of $450. RESULTS BY BUSINESS SEGMENT ELECTRICAL
2005 2004 Increase ---------- ---------- ---------- Net sales ......................... $ 3,758 $ 3,072 22% Operating profit .................. 375 243 54% Operating margin .................. 10.0% 7.9%
Sales of the Electrical segment in 2005 reached record levels. Of the 22% sales increase, 11% was from acquisitions, 10% was due to volume growth, and 1% from foreign exchange rates. Acquisitions included the Powerware electrical power systems business acquired on June 9, 2004. Operating results for 2005 and 2004 include the results of Powerware from the date of acquisition. Volume growth of 10% in 2005 was driven by growth in end markets of approximately 3% and sales above end-market growth of an additional 7%. Operating profit rose 54% in 2005, and was also a new record for this segment. The increase was largely due to growth in sales, continued productivity improvements, the full-year effect of the acquisition of Powerware, benefits of integrating Powerware, and favorable product mix. These improvements in operating profit were partially offset by higher prices paid, primarily for basic metals. The operating margin on overall sales growth was 19%. Increased sales from acquisitions generated a 6% operating margin. Increased sales from organic growth generated a 29% operating margin. The improved operating margin in 2005 also reflected reduced restructuring charges in 2005. Restructuring charges in 2005 were $21 compared to $33 in 2004, reducing operating margins by 0.6% in 2005 and 1.1% in 2004, and reducing the incremental profit margin by 1.7%. Restructuring charges in 2005 and 2004 related primarily to the integration of Powerware as well as the electrical division of Delta plc acquired in January 2003. F-31 On October 11, 2005, Eaton acquired the assets of one of its suppliers, Pringle Electrical Manufacturing Company. This business manufactures bolted contact switches and other specialty switches and had 2004 sales of $6, with one-third of these sales to Eaton. On June 17, 2005, Eaton signed an agreement to form a joint venture with Zhongshan Ming Yang Electrical Appliances Co., Ltd. to manufacture and market switchgear components in southern China. Eaton has 51% ownership of the joint venture, which is called Eaton Electrical (Zhongshan) Co., Ltd. The joint venture began operations in third quarter 2005. On June 9, 2004, Eaton acquired Powerware Corporation, the power systems business of Invensys plc, for a final cash purchase price of $573, less cash acquired of $27. Powerware, based in Raleigh, North Carolina, is a supplier of Uninterruptible Power Systems (UPS), DC Power products and power quality services that had revenues of $775 for the year ended March 31, 2004. Powerware has operations in the United States, Canada, Europe, South America and Asia/Pacific that provide products and services utilized by computer manufacturers, industrial companies, governments, telecommunications firms, medical institutions, data centers and other businesses. FLUID POWER
2005 2004 Increase ---------- ---------- ---------- Net sales ......................... $ 3,240 $ 3,098 5% Operating profit .................. 339 338 -- Operating margin .................. 10.5% 10.9%
Sales of the Fluid Power segment were at record levels in 2005. The increase in sales in 2005 over 2004 was due to acquisitions of businesses in 2005 and 2004 contributing 5%, with growth in end markets contributing another 3%, driven by strength in end markets for hydraulics and commercial aerospace, partially offset by weakness in end markets for defense aerospace and automotive fluid connectors. Sales in 2005 also reflected a significant sales decrease in the automotive fluid connector business reflecting the impact of expiring programs. Acquisitions in 2005 included the following businesses, which are described below: the aerospace operations of PerkinElmer, Inc. and the aerospace fluid and air division of Cobham plc; the industrial filtration business of Hayward Industries, Inc.; and the hydraulic hose fittings and adapters business in China of Winner Group Holdings Ltd. The sales increase also reflected the full-year effect of the acquisition of Walterscheid, a German manufacturer of hydraulic tube connectors and fittings, in September 2004. Growth in Fluid Power markets during 2005 was mixed, with global hydraulics shipments up 7%, commercial aerospace markets up 8%, defense aerospace markets down 7%, and European automotive production down 2%. Growth in the mobile and industrial hydraulics markets in 2005 slowed from 2004. In particular, agricultural equipment sales were sluggish due to a combination of drought conditions and reductions in farm income in several markets around the world. Operating margins were helped by the operating profit of acquired businesses, which generated incremental profit of 13% on the sales contributed, benefits of restructuring actions to integrate acquired businesses, and continued productivity improvements. Operating profit and margins were also affected by the significant reduction in revenues in the automotive fluid connectors business, which had a 26% reduction in profits on the lost volume. Additional program costs within the aerospace business, slowing demand in the agricultural equipment sector, and higher prices paid, primarily for basic metals, also contributed to the lower operating margin. Restructuring charges in 2005 related to acquired businesses were $7 compared to $8 in 2004, reducing operating margins by 0.2% in 2005 and 0.3% in 2004. These restructuring charges related to the integration of recent acquisitions including Winner, Walterscheid acquired in September 2004, and Boston Weatherhead acquired in November 2002. On December 6, 2005, Eaton acquired the aerospace division of PerkinElmer, Inc., which is a provider of sealing and pneumatic systems for large commercial aircraft and regional jets. This business had sales of $150 for the 12 months ended June 30, 2005. On November 1, 2005, the Company acquired the aerospace fluid and air division of Cobham plc. This business provides low-pressure airframe fuel systems, electro-mechanical actuation, air ducting, hydraulic and power generation, and fluid distribution systems for fuel, hydraulics and air. This business had 2004 sales of $210. On September 6, 2005, the industrial filtration business of Hayward Industries, Inc. was acquired. Hayward produces filtration systems for industrial and commercial customers. This business had sales of $100 for the 12 months ended June 30, 2005. On March 31, 2005, Eaton acquired Winner Group Holdings Ltd., a producer of hydraulic hose fittings and adapters for the Chinese market. This business had 2004 sales of $26. TRUCK
2005 2004 Increase ---------- ---------- ---------- Net sales ......................... $ 2,288 $ 1,800 27% Operating profit .................. 453 329 38% Operating margin .................. 19.8% 18.3%
F-32 The Truck segment posted record sales in 2005, growing 27% compared to 2004. Of the sales increase in 2005, 21% was due to organic growth, 5% from foreign exchange rates, and 1% from the acquisition of Pigozzi, as described below. Organic growth was attributable to strong end-market demand, primarily in NAFTA heavy-duty truck production, which rose 27% in 2005 to 341,000 units. Other markets also grew in 2005, with NAFTA medium-duty truck production increasing 5% in 2005 compared to 2004, European truck production increasing 6%, and Brazilian vehicle production increasing 8%. Operating profit, which grew 38% in 2005, and the operating margin of 19.8%, were also records for this segment. The incremental profit margin on the increased sales volume was 25% and also reflected the benefits of productivity improvements. These improvements in operating margin were offset by higher prices paid, primarily for basic metals. Operating profit in 2005 was also reduced by 0.2% due to restructuring charges of $4 related to the integration of Pigozzi. On March 1, 2005, Pigozzi S.A. Engrenagens e Transmissoes, a Brazilian agricultural powertrain business that produces transmissions, rotors and other drivetrain components, was acquired. This business had 2004 sales of $42. In the third quarter of 2005, Eaton was notified that it had been selected by the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration to be part of a group of companies to evaluate crash-avoidance technologies for both cars and commercial vehicles. The government has budgeted $31 for this four-year study. During second quarter 2005, Eaton was awarded a contract to supply medium-duty transmissions to Hyundai for the Korean market. The Company anticipates annual sales of $20, with production starting in 2007. AUTOMOTIVE
2005 2004 (Decrease) ---------- ---------- ---------- Net sales ......................... $ 1,829 $ 1,847 (1)% Operating profit .................. 232 243 (5)% Operating margin .................. 12.7% 13.2%
Sales of the Automotive segment decreased 1% in 2005. The reduction in sales reflected sales volume that was lower by 2% in 2005, offset by a 1% increase due to foreign exchange rates. Automotive production in 2005 for NAFTA was flat compared to 2004, and in Europe decreased 2% from 2004. The change in sales also reflected additional sales volume from the acquisitions in 2005 of Tractech Holdings, Inc. and Morestana S.A. de C.V , as described below, partially offset by the sale of the tire and refrigeration valve manufacturing business in March 2005. The 5% decrease in operating profit in 2005 resulted from the sales reduction in 2005, costs incurred to start-up new facilities in Eastern Europe and to exit a product line, and $4 of restructuring charges related to the acquisition of Morestana described below. Operating profit in 2005 was helped by continued productivity improvements, but was also hurt by higher prices paid, primarily for basic metals. Restructuring charges related to the integration of Morestana reduced operating margin by 0.2% in 2005. On August 17, 2005, Tractech Holdings, Inc., a manufacturer of specialized differentials and clutch components for the commercial and specialty vehicle markets, was acquired. This business had 2004 sales of $43. On June 30, 2005, Morestana S.A. de C.V., a Mexican producer of hydraulic lifters for automotive engine manufacturers and the automotive aftermarket, was acquired. This business had 2004 sales of $13. During third quarter 2005, Eaton started production of a small supercharger that is combined with turbocharger technology in the new 1.4 liter Volkswagen Golf TSI. The combination allows an automaker the option to provide a smaller displacement gasoline engine while improving performance, and reducing fuel consumption and emissions. CORPORATE Net interest expense of $90 in 2005 increased by $12 from $78 in 2004. The increase was primarily due to the $691 net increase in total debt at the end of 2005 compared to the end of 2004, and, to a lesser extent, the increase in the interest rate on short-term debt during 2005. Pension and other postretirement benefit expense included in corporate increased to $120 in 2005 from $75 in 2004. The increase primarily resulted from the effect of the lower discount rates used in determining pension and other postretirement benefit liabilities at year-end 2004, coupled with the impact of declines during 2000 through 2002 in the market related value of equity investments held by Eaton's pension plans. Increased costs for other postretirement benefit expense were partially offset by the effect of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003, as further explained in "Retirement Benefit Plans" in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. In December 2004, Eaton announced that it would exit its tire and refrigeration valve manufacturing business. The Company incurred charges of $15 principally for the write-down of fixed assets and workforce reductions. This business was sold in March 2005. Other corporate expense-net in 2005 was $158 compared to $172 for 2004. The reduction was largely attributable to a charge of $13 for contributions to the Eaton Charitable Fund that was recorded in 2004, with no similar expense in 2005. F-33 CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION DURING 2005 Throughout 2005, Eaton maintained a focus on management of its capital. Net working capital of $610 at the end of 2005 decreased by $305 from $915 at year-end 2004. The decrease was primarily due to the $381 increase in short-term debt, primarily commercial paper, and the $214 increase in current portion of long-term debt. The increase in short-term debt was part of the financing for the purchase of business acquisitions completed in 2005 at a combined cash purchase price of $911. The increase in current portion of long-term debt was due to the reclassification of $229 of long-term debt that will mature in 2006 to current liabilities. These decreases in working capital were partially offset by increases of $173 in accounts receivable and $133 in inventories. Accounts receivable increased due to higher sales of $1.3 billion in 2005. Accounts receivable days outstanding were 56 days at the end of 2005, virtually unchanged from the end of 2004. Inventory days on hand at the end of 2005 increased to 47 days compared to 46 days at year-end 2004, primarily due to high levels of inventory related to acquisitions of businesses completed during 2005 and purchases of additional inventory to guard against basic metals shortages. The current ratio was 1.2 at the end of 2005 and 1.4 at year-end 2004. Cash and short-term investments totaled $336 at the end of 2005, up $40 from $296 at year-end 2004. Cash generated from operating activities of $1,135 in 2005 was a new record for Eaton, increasing by $297 from $838 in 2004. The increase was primarily due to higher net income in 2005, which rose $157 in 2005 compared to 2004, and also included a $50 contribution to the Company's United States qualified pension plan in 2005, which was lower than a similar contribution of $75 in 2004. In January 2006, Eaton made an additional voluntary contribution of $100 to its United States qualified pension plan. Total debt of $2,464 at the end of 2005 increased $691 from $1,773 at year-end 2004. The increase was primarily due to the $381 increase in short-term debt, primarily commercial paper, and the issuance of $393 of long-term notes and debentures. The proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt and commercial paper were used as part of the financing for the purchase price of business acquisitions completed in 2005, which had a combined cash purchase price of $911, and for the repurchase of 7.01 million Common Shares during the first half of 2005 at a total cost of $450. The net-debt-to-capital ratio was 36.0% at the end of 2005 compared to 29.1% at year-end 2004. The increase in this ratio reflected the $651 increase in net debt (total debt less cash and short-term investments), offset by the $172 increase in Shareholders' equity. Shareholders' equity of $3,778 was a new record, rising $172 from $3,606 at year-end 2004, primarily the result of net income of $805 in 2005, offset by the repurchase of 7.01 million Common Shares at a total cost of $450, as discussed above, and cash dividends paid of $184. On June 14, 2005, Standard & Poor's raised the Company's long-term credit rating to "A" from "A-minus" and its commercial paper rating to "A-1" from "A-2", stating that improved operating performance at Eaton is expected to result in stronger cash flows. On August 30, 2005, Moody's affirmed Eaton's long-term debt rating but changed its outlook on Eaton's long-term debt to negative from stable citing the possibility of periodically elevated debt levels as the Company grows through acquisition. On November 17, 2005, the Company issued Euro 100 million floating rate notes due November 2008. In June 2005, Eaton issued $100 of 5.25% Notes, which will mature in 2035, and $100 of 4.65% Notes, which will mature in 2015. On January 28, 2005, the Company issued $75 of 5.45% Senior Debentures, which will mature in 2034. On April 18, 2005, Eaton's Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to 10 million of its Common Shares. In the second quarter, 3.38 million shares were repurchased at a total cost of $200. No shares were repurchased in the third or fourth quarters of 2005. The remainder of the shares are expected to be repurchased over time, depending on market conditions, share price, capital levels and other considerations. During first quarter 2005, Eaton repurchased 3.63 million Common Shares at a total cost of $250. This completed the plan announced on January 24, 2005 to repurchase $250 of shares to help offset dilution from shares issued during 2004 from the exercise of stock options. In March 2005, Eaton entered into a new $700 long-term revolving credit facility, which will expire in March 2010. Eaton has long-term revolving credit facilities of $1 billion, of which $300 will expire in May 2008 and the remaining $700 in March 2010. OUTLOOK FOR 2006 As Eaton surveyed its end markets in mid-January 2006, it anticipated growth of approximately 3% for full year 2006. The Company expects to outgrow its end markets by well over 50%, and expects to also record approximately $475 of growth from the full-year impact of the eight acquisitions and one joint venture concluded in 2005. As a result, overall growth in sales in 2006 is expected to be approximately 10%. The Company's guidance for net income per Common Share for the full year of 2006 is $5.75 to $6.05, after restructuring charges to integrate recent acquisitions of $.20 per share. For the first quarter of 2006, Eaton anticipates net income per share of $1.20 to $1.30, after restructuring charges to integrate recent acquisitions of $.05 per share. For 2006, in the Electrical segment, Eaton expects end markets to grow 4 to 5%, with the nonresidential electric markets becoming a more important source of growth than in 2005. For Fluid Power, Eaton expects end markets to also grow 4 to 5%, with growth in both the agricultural and construction equipment markets expected to be lower than in 2005, while industrial markets should have growth similar to 2005. The commercial aerospace market is expected to post significantly higher growth in 2006, while defense aerospace markets are expected to be flat. In the Truck segment, production of NAFTA heavy-duty trucks in 2005 totaled 341,000 units, and the Company believes that production in 2006 will likely stay at about the same level. For the Automotive segment, Eaton expects slightly weaker production in NAFTA and a slight increase in production in Europe. F-34 On January 23, 2006, Eaton announced that it was beginning to implement its Excel 07 program. This program is a series of actions intended to address businesses that underperformed in 2005, or where activity in end markets is expected to decline over the next couple of years. The Company has not announced the bulk of the specific actions that will be taken throughout 2006, but they are expected to include the relocation of several product lines and manufacturing facilities. The guidance for net income per share for the first quarter of 2006 reflected in the first paragraph of this section includes estimated expenses of approximately $.10 per share, net of savings, related to the Excel 07 program. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This Annual Report to Shareholders contains forward-looking statements concerning Eaton's first quarter 2006 and full year 2006 net income per Common Share, worldwide end markets, growth in relation to end markets, and growth from acquisitions and joint ventures. These statements should be used with caution and are subject to various risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside the Company's control. The following factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements: unanticipated changes in the markets for the Company's business segments; unanticipated downturns in business relationships with customers or their purchases from the Company; competitive pressures on sales and pricing; increases in the cost of material and other production costs, or unexpected costs that cannot be recouped in product pricing; the introduction of competing technologies; unexpected technical or marketing difficulties; unexpected claims, charges, litigation or dispute resolutions; acquisitions and divestitures; unanticipated difficulties integrating acquisitions; new laws and governmental regulations; interest rate changes; stock market fluctuations; and unanticipated deterioration of economic and financial conditions in the United States and around the world. Eaton does not assume any obligation to update these forward-looking statements. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires Eaton's management to make estimates and use assumptions in certain circumstances that affect amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. In preparing these financial statements, management has made their best estimates and judgments of certain amounts included in the financial statements, giving due consideration to materiality. For any estimate or assumption there may be other reasonable estimates or assumptions that could have been used. However, the Company believes that given the current facts and circumstances, it is unlikely that applying such other estimates and assumptions would have caused materially different amounts to have been reported. Application of these accounting policies involves the exercise of judgment and use of assumptions as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ from estimates used. REVENUE RECOGNITION Sales are recognized when products are shipped to unaffiliated customers, all significant risks of ownership have been transferred to the customer, title has transferred in accordance with shipping terms (FOB shipping point or FOB destination), the selling price is fixed and determinable, all significant related acts of performance have been completed, and no other significant uncertainties exist. Shipping and handling costs billed to customers are included in Net sales and the related costs in Cost of products sold. Other revenues for service contracts are recognized as the services are provided. IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" provides that goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets must be reviewed for impairment, in accordance with the specified methodology. Further, goodwill, intangible and other long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. During 2005, Eaton completed the annual impairment tests for goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets as required by SFAS No. 142. These tests confirmed that the fair value of the Company's reporting units and indefinite life intangible assets exceed their respective carrying values and that no impairment loss was required to be recognized. Goodwill and other intangible assets totaled $3.8 billion at the end of 2005 and represented 37% of total assets. These assets resulted primarily from the 1999 $1.6 billion acquisition of Aeroquip-Vickers, Inc., a mobile and industrial hydraulics business, the 1994 $1.1 billion acquisition of the electrical distribution and controls business unit of Westinghouse, and the 2004 $573 acquisition of Powerware Corporation, the electrical power systems business. These businesses, as well as many of the Company's other recent business acquisitions, have a long history of operating success and profitability and hold significant market positions in the majority of their product lines. Their products are not subject to rapid technological or functional obsolescence. These factors, coupled with continuous strong product demand, support the recorded values of the goodwill and intangible assets related to acquired businesses. DEFERRED INCOME TAX ASSETS & LIABILITIES Deferred income tax assets and liabilities have been recorded for the differences between the financial accounting and income tax basis of assets and liabilities, and for certain United States income tax credit carryforwards. Recorded deferred income tax assets and liabilities are described in detail in "Income Taxes" in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Significant factors considered by management in the determination of the probability of the realization of deferred tax assets include historical operating results, expectations of future earnings and taxable income, and the extended period of time over which other postretirement health care liabilities will be paid. Management believes there is a low probability of the realization of deferred tax assets related to certain United States Federal income tax credit carryforwards, most United States state and local income tax loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards, and tax loss carryforwards at certain international operations. Therefore, a valuation allowance of $190 has been recognized for these deferred tax assets. F-35 PENSION & OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS The measurement of liabilities related to pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans is based on management's assumptions related to future events including interest rates, return on pension plan assets, rate of compensation increases, and health care cost trend rates. Actual pension plan asset performance will either reduce or increase unamortized pension losses, which ultimately affects net income. The discount rate for United States plans was determined by constructing a zero-coupon spot yield curve derived from a universe of high-quality bonds as of the measurement date, which was designed to match the discounted expected benefit payments. The bond data (rated "Aa" or better by Moody's Investor Services) was obtained from Bloomberg. Callable bonds with explicit call schedules were excluded and bonds with "make-whole" call provisions were included. In addition, a portion of the bonds were deemed outliers and excluded from consideration. The discount rates for non-United States plans are appropriate for each region and are based on high quality long-term corporate and government bonds. Consideration has been given to the duration of the liabilities in each plan for selecting the bonds to be used in determining the discount rate. At the end of 2005, certain key assumptions used to calculate pension and other postretirement benefit expense were adjusted, including the lowering of the assumed return on pension plan assets from 8.41% to 8.35% and the discount rate from 5.81% to 5.51%. At the end of 2004, the assumed return on pension plan assets was lowered from 8.50% to 8.41% and the discount rate from 6.11% to 5.81%. The changes in these assumptions, coupled with the effect of the decline in market related value of equity investments held by Eaton's pension plans during 2000 through 2002, resulted in increased pretax pension and postretirement expense of $55 in 2005 compared to 2004. These changes increased pretax pension and other postretirement benefit expense $31 in 2004 compared to 2003, and are expected to result in increased pretax pension and other postretirement benefit expense of approximately $45 in 2006 over 2005. A 1-percentage point change in the assumed rate of return on pension plan assets is estimated to have approximately a $20 effect on pension expense. Likewise, a 1-percentage point change in the discount rate is estimated to have approximately a $42 effect on pension expense. A 1-percentage point change in the discount rate is estimated to have approximately a $2 effect on expense for other postretirement benefit plans. Additional information related to changes in key assumptions used to recognize expense for other postretirement benefit plans is found in "Retirement Benefit Plans" in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. PROTECTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT As a result of past operations, Eaton is involved in remedial response and voluntary environmental remediation at a number of sites, including certain of its currently-owned or formerly-owned plants. The Company has also been named a potentially responsible party (PRP) under the Federal Superfund law at a number of waste disposal sites. A number of factors affect the cost of environmental remediation, including the number of parties involved at a particular site, the determination of the extent of contamination, the length of time the remediation may require, the complexity of environmental regulations, and the continuing advancement of remediation technology. Taking these factors into account, Eaton has estimated (without discounting) the costs of remediation, which will be incurred over a period of several years. The Company accrues an amount consistent with the estimates of these costs when it is probable that a liability has been incurred. At December 31, 2005, the balance sheet included a liability for these costs of $75. All of these estimates are forward-looking statements and, given the inherent uncertainties in evaluating environmental exposures, actual results can differ from these estimates. CONTINGENCIES Eaton is subject to a broad range of claims, administrative proceedings, and legal proceedings, such as lawsuits that relate to contractual allegations, patent infringement, personal injuries (including asbes- tos claims) and employment-related matters. Although it is not pos- sible to predict with certainty the outcome or cost of these matters, the Company believes that these matters will not have a material ad- verse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. STOCK OPTIONS GRANTED TO EMPLOYEES & DIRECTORS Stock options granted to employees and directors to purchase Common Shares are accounted for using the intrinsic-value-based method, as allowed by SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation". Under this method, no compensation expense is recognized on the grant date, since on that date the option price equals the market price of the underlying shares. Eaton has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 123. If the Company recognized compensation expense for its stock options under the fair-value-based method of SFAS No. 123, net income per Common Share assuming dilution would have been reduced by $.12 in 2005, and $.08 in 2004 and 2003, as further described in "Shareholders' Equity" in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R). This Statement eliminates the alternative of using the intrinsic-value-based method of accounting for stock options that was provided in SFAS No. 123. The Statement requires entities to recognize the expense of employee and director services received in exchange for stock options, based on the grant date fair value of those awards. That expense will be recognized over the period the employee or director is required to provide service in exchange for the award. F-36 On April 14, 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) published a rule that had the effect of allowing companies with fiscal years ending December 31 to delay the quarter in which they begin to expense stock options to first quarter 2006. Eaton will expense stock options beginning in first quarter 2006. The Company estimates that the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) will reduce net income per Common Share assuming dilution in 2006 by approximately $.16. OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS Eaton does not have off-balance sheet arrangements or financings with unconsolidated entities or other persons. In the ordinary course of business, the Company leases certain real properties and equipment, as described in "Lease Commitments" in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Transactions with related parties are in the ordinary course of business, are conducted on an arm's-length basis, and are not material to Eaton's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. MARKET RISK DISCLOSURE & CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS To manage exposure to fluctuations in foreign currencies, interest rates and commodity prices, Eaton uses straightforward, non-leveraged, financial instruments for which quoted market prices are readily available from a number of independent services. The Company is exposed to various changes in financial market conditions, including fluctuations in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, and commodity prices. Eaton manages exposure to such risks through normal operating and financing activities. Interest rate risk can be measured by calculating the near-term earnings impact that would result from adverse changes in interest rates. This exposure results from short-term debt, long-term debt that has been swapped to floating rates, and money market investments that have not been swapped to fixed rates. A 100 basis point increase in short-term interest rates would increase the Company's net, pretax interest expense by approximately $14. Eaton also measures interest rate risk by estimating the net amount by which the fair value of the Company's financial liabilities would change as a result of movements in interest rates. Based on a hypothetical, immediate 100 basis point decrease in interest rates at December 31, 2005, the market value of the Company's debt and interest rate swap portfolio, in aggregate, would increase by $89. Foreign currency risk is the risk that Eaton will incur economic losses due to adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company mitigates foreign currency risk by funding some investments in foreign markets through local currency financings. Such non-U.S. Dollar debt was $662 at December 31, 2005. To augment Eaton's non-U.S. Dollar debt portfolio, the Company also enters into forward foreign exchange contracts and foreign currency swaps from time to time to mitigate the risk of economic loss in its foreign investments due to adverse changes in exchange rates. At December 31, 2005, the aggregate balance of such contracts was $95. Eaton also monitors exposure to transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of each country in which the Company operates, and periodically enters into forward contracts to mitigate that exposure. In the aggregate, Eaton's portfolio of forward contracts related to such transactions was not material to its financial position, results of operations or cash flows during 2005. Other than the above noted debt and financial derivative arrangements, there were no material derivative instrument transactions in place or undertaken during 2005. A summary of contractual obligations as of December 31, 2005 follows:
2007 2009 to to After 2006 2008 2010 2010 Total ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Long-term debt ................................... $ 240 $ 412 $ 17 $ 1,401 $ 2,070 Interest expense related to long-term debt ....... 136 223 208 1,130 1,697 Reduction of interest expense from interest rate swap agreements related to long-term debt .............................

F-37 Long-term debt includes obligations under capital leases, which are not material. Interest expense related to long-term debt is based on the fixed interest rate, or other applicable interest rate related to the debt instrument, at December 31, 2005. The reduction of interest expense due to interest rate swap agreements related to long-term debt is based on the difference in the fixed interest rate the Company receives from the swap, compared to the floating interest rate the Company pays on the swap, at December 31, 2005. Purchase obligations are entered into with various vendors in the normal course of business. These amounts include commitments for purchases of raw materials, outstanding non-cancelable purchase orders, releases under blanket purchase orders and commitments under ongoing service arrangements. Other long-term liabilities include $146 of contributions to pension plans in 2006 and $94 of deferred compensation earned under various plans for which the participants have elected to receive disbursement at a later date. The table above does not include future expected pension benefit payments or expected other postretirement benefit payments for each of the next five years and the five years thereafter. Information related to the amounts of these future payments is described in "Retirement Benefit Plans" in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -- 2004 COMPARED TO 2003
2004 2003 Increase ---------- ---------- ---------- Net sales ......................... $ 9,817 $ 8,061 22% Gross margin ...................... 2,735 2,164 26% Percent of net sales ........... 27.9% 26.8% Net income ........................ 648 386 68% Net income per Common Share assuming dilution ........ $ 4.13 $ 2.56 61%
Net sales in 2004 were at a record level for Eaton, surpassing the record set in 2003. Sales growth of 22% in 2004 consisted of 12% from organic growth, 7% from acquisitions of businesses, and 3% from foreign exchange rates. Organic growth consisted of 8% from end-market growth and 4% from outgrowing end markets. Gross margin in 2004 increased primarily due to sales growth and the benefits of restructuring actions taken in recent years to improve profit performance of the Company. These increases were partially offset by higher prices paid, primarily for basic metals in 2004. The impact of higher metals costs, partially offset by increased selling prices to recover these higher costs, was a 1.0 percentage point reduction in gross margin. Gross margin was reduced by 0.4% in both 2004 and 2003 due to restructuring charges. Gross margin in 2004 increased compared to 2003 despite higher prices paid, primarily for basic metals, and the addition of the Powerware business, whose margins are currently lower than the rest of the Electrical segment.

Growth in sales of 19% in the United States was due to higher sales in Electrical, largely the result of the acquisition of Powerware in June 2004; significantly higher sales in Truck due to strong demand in many of Truck's markets; and, to a lesser extent, increased sales in Fluid Power and Automotive. The 43% increase in operating profit in the United States was primarily the result of strong sales in Truck; the acquisition of Powerware; the benefits of restructuring actions taken in recent years; and integration of recently acquired businesses. In Canada, growth of 25% in sales and 32% in operating profit were due to the acquisition of Powerware and improved results in other Electrical businesses. Sales growth of 26% in Europe was due to higher sales in Electrical, largely the result of the acquisition of Powerware; growth in Fluid Power, Automotive and Truck; and from foreign exchange rates. Higher operating profit in Europe of 60% was the result of increased sales and the benefits of restructuring actions taken in recent years that were reflected in improved returns in each of the Company's four business segments. In Latin America, growth of 50% in sales and 65% in operating profit were due to higher sales in Truck, the acquisition of Powerware adding sales in Electrical, and, to a lesser extent, sales growth in Fluid Power and Automotive. Growth of 35% in sales in Asia/Pacific was due to the acquisition of Powerware and the strong performance of Fluid Power and Truck. The 23% increase in operating profit in Asia/Pacific primarily related to the acquisition of Powerware and improved results of Fluid Power. F-38 OTHER RESULTS OF OPERATIONS In 2004, Eaton incurred restructuring charges related primarily to the integration of: Powerware, the electrical power systems business acquired in June 2004; the electrical division of Delta plc acquired in January 2003; and the Boston Weatherhead fluid power business acquired in November 2002. In 2003, restructuring charges related primarily to the integration of the electrical division of Delta plc and the Boston Weatherhead fluid power business. A summary of these charges follows:
2004 2003 ---------- ---------- Electrical ........................ $ 33 $ 22 Fluid Power ....................... 8 14 ---------- ---------- 41 36 Corporate ......................... 1 ---------- ---------- Pretax charges .................... $ 41 $ 37 ========== ========== After-tax charges ................. $ 27 $ 24 Per Common Share .................. $ .17 $ .16
Restructuring charges in 2004 included $22 for the United States, $18 for Europe and $1 for Asia/Pacific. Similar charges in 2003 included $23 for the United States, $11 for Europe and $3 for Asia/Pacific. The restructuring charges were included in the Statements of Consolidated Income in Cost of products sold or Selling & administrative expense, as appropriate. In Business Segment Information, the charges reduced Operating profit of the related business segment or were included in Other corporate expense-net, as appropriate. Pretax income for 2004 was reduced by $31 ($20 after-tax, or $.13 per Common Share) compared to 2003 due to increased pension and other postretirement benefit expense in 2004. This resulted from the effect of the lowering of discount rates associated with pension and other postretirement benefit liabilities at year-end 2003, coupled with the decline during 2000 through 2002 in the market related value of equity investments held by Eaton's pension plans. These increased costs were partially offset by the effect of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003, as further explained in "Retirement Benefit Plans" in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Net interest expense of $78 in 2004 fell by $9 from $87 in 2003. The decrease largely related to the $180 net reduction in total debt from the end of 2003 to the end of 2004, offset by a slight increase in the interest rates for short-term debt in 2004. In December 2004, Eaton announced that it would exit its tire and refrigeration valve manufacturing business. The Company incurred charges of $15 ($10 after-tax, or $.06 per Common Share) principally for the write-down of fixed assets and workforce reductions. This business is in the Automotive segment. In the Statements of Consolidated Income and Business Segment Information, these charges were reported as a separate line item. This business was sold in March 2005. In 2004, a charge of $13 was recorded for a contribution to the Eaton Charitable Fund ($8 after-tax, or $.05 per Common Share). In the Statements of Consolidated Income, the charge was included in Other (income) expense-net. In Business Segment Information, the charge was included in Other corporate expense-net. The effective income tax rate for 2004 was 17.0% compared to 24.0% in 2003. The lower rate in 2004 was primarily due to an income tax benefit of $30 resulting from the favorable resolution of multiple international and U.S. income tax issues in fourth quarter 2004, higher earnings in international tax jurisdictions with lower income tax rates, increased use of foreign tax credit carryforwards, and implementation of international tax planning initiatives. The change in the effective income tax rate in 2004 compared to 2003 is further discussed in "Income Taxes" in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Net income and net income per Common Share assuming dilution were also records for Eaton in 2004. These record results were primarily due to the sales growth in 2004 and the benefits of restructuring actions taken in recent years. In addition, lower net interest expense and a reduction in the effective income tax rate helped the Company to post improved net income. These increases in net income in 2004 were partially offset by higher prices paid, primarily for basic metals, higher costs for pensions and other postretirement benefits, a provision of $15 to exit a business, and a $13 contribution to the Eaton Charitable Fund. RESULTS BY BUSINESS SEGMENT ELECTRICAL
2004 2003 Increase ---------- ---------- ---------- Net sales ......................... $ 3,072 $ 2,313 33% Operating profit .................. 243 158 54% Operating margin .................. 7.9% 6.8%
F-39 Sales of the Electrical segment grew 33% in 2004. Of the 33% sales growth, 24% was from acquisitions, 7% was due to volume growth, and 2% was from foreign exchange rates. Acquisitions included the Powerware electrical power systems business acquired on June 9, 2004 and Electrum Group acquired in March 2004, as described below. Also contributing to sales growth from acquisitions in 2004 was the electrical division of Delta plc acquired in January 2003, and the electrical switchgear business formed with Caterpillar in August 2003. Eaton's operating results for 2004 and 2003 include the results of acquired businesses from the dates of acquisition. Volume growth of 7% in 2004 was driven by growth in Electrical end markets of about 4% and sales above end-market growth of an additional 3%. The 54% increase in operating profit in 2004 was largely due to growth in sales from both acquisitions and end-market growth. The operating margin on overall sales growth was 13%. The increased sales from acquisitions generated a 7% operating margin. Increased sales from organic growth generated a 27% operating margin. These improvements in operating margin were partially offset by increased restructuring charges in 2004. Restructuring charges in 2004 were $33 compared to $22 in 2003, reducing operating margins by 1.1% in 2004 and 1.0% in 2003, and reducing the incremental profit margin by 1%. Restructuring charges in 2004 related primarily to the integration of Powerware and the electrical division of Delta plc acquired in January 2003. Restructuring charges in 2003 related largely to the integration of the electrical division of Delta plc. The incremental margins were helped by the benefits of restructuring actions to integrate acquired businesses and continued productivity improvements, but were hurt by higher prices paid, primarily for basic metals. On June 9, 2004, Eaton acquired Powerware Corporation, the electrical power systems business of Invensys plc, for a final cash purchase price of $573, less cash acquired of $27. Powerware, based in Raleigh, North Carolina, is a supplier of Uninterruptible Power Systems (UPS), DC Power products and power quality services that had revenues of $775 for the year ended March 31, 2004. Powerware has operations in the United States, Canada, Europe, South America and Asia/Pacific that provide products and services utilized by computer manufacturers, industrial companies, governments, telecommunications firms, medical institutions, data centers and other businesses. In March 2004, Eaton acquired the Electrum Group Ltd., which provides power management services and web-based software for telecommunications, data center and government applications. The purchase price, net sales and operating profit of this business, were not material in 2004. During second quarter 2004, the Electrical business was awarded a contract from the U.S. Postal Service to test and maintain electrical switchgear, which is anticipated to generate annual sales of $6 over the next four years, and a contract worth $12 to supply distribution and control equipment for a new power plant being constructed by Hitachi. FLUID POWER
2004 2003 Increase ---------- ---------- ---------- Net sales ......................... $ 3,098 $ 2,786 11% Operating profit .................. 338 247 37% Operating margin .................. 10.9% 8.9%
Sales of the Fluid Power segment grew 11% in 2004. The 11% increase in sales in 2004 included 8% growth attributed to volume growth and 3% due to foreign exchange rates. Volume growth was driven by the mix of markets in which this segment participates. The majority of sales growth in 2004 resulted from the strong performance of mobile and industrial hydraulics markets. The commercial aerospace market also began to recover in 2004, growing in the fourth quarter at its fastest rate in over two years. Global hydraulics markets were up an estimated 13%, commercial aerospace markets were flat, defense aerospace markets were up 5%, and European automotive production flat. Operating results for 2004 included Walterscheid, a manufacturer of hydraulic tube connectors and fittings primarily for the European market, from the date of acquisition on September 1, 2004, with less than 1% of the increase in sales attributed to this acquisition in 2004. Operating profit in 2004 increased 37%. Higher operating profit in 2004 was largely due to sales growth, which generated an incremental 27% profit. Increased operating profit was also due to lower restructuring charges in 2004, which were $8 compared to $14 in 2003, reducing operating margins by 0.3% in 2004 and 0.5% in 2003. The restructuring charges in 2004 and 2003 related primarily to the integration of the Boston Weatherhead business acquired in late 2002. The incremental margins were helped by the benefits of restructuring actions to integrate acquired businesses and continued productivity improvements, but were hurt by higher prices paid, primarily for basic metals. In January 2004, Eaton acquired Ultronics Limited with its electro-hydraulic valve system technology that is utilized in mobile applications in construction, forestry, agriculture and other markets. In early 2004, Eaton invested in Eaton Senstar Automotive Fluid Connector (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. This business, 55%-owned by Eaton, was formed with Changzhou Senstar Automobile Air Conditioner Co. Ltd. to produce automotive air conditioning hose and tube assemblies and power steering hose and tube assemblies in Shanghai for Volkswagen's China operations. The purchase prices, net sales and operating profit of these businesses, were not material in 2004. F-40 In November 2004, Eaton announced that its aerospace business began work with Lockheed Martin to increase the Company's role on the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter by expanding its scope of work on the wing fluid delivery system. The expanded wing fluid delivery work and increased technical assistance will increase Eaton's potential revenue on the F-35 by $1 billion, based on production of 2,600 aircraft over the life of the program, which is expected to continue through 2027. The $1 billion increase brings the expected Joint Strike Fighter related revenue over the life of the program to almost $3 billion, including the hydraulic power generation system, general actuation and the expanded wing fluid delivery system work. TRUCK
2004 2003 Increase ---------- ---------- ---------- Net sales ......................... $ 1,800 $ 1,272 42% Operating profit .................. 329 168 96% Operating margin .................. 18.3% 13.2%
Net sales of the Truck segment were up 42% in 2004. Of the 42% increase, 40% was due to volume growth and 2% to foreign exchange. The significant volume growth was attributable to strong end-market demand, primarily NAFTA heavy-duty truck production, which increased 48% in 2004. Other end markets also grew during 2004 with NAFTA medium-duty truck production increasing 24% in 2004 compared to 2003, European truck production increasing 7%, and Brazilian vehicle production increasing 20%. Operating profit improved 96% in 2004, reflecting increased sales throughout all geographic regions. The incremental profit margin on the increased sales volume was 30% and reflected the benefits of higher production levels without a significant increase in fixed costs and the benefits of productivity improvements, offset by higher prices paid, primarily for basic metals. Eaton made significant progress during 2004 on both of its new truck businesses in China. The joint venture with FAW Jiefang Automotive Co., Ltd. formally started production in September 2004 with Eaton contributing $28 of cash to purchase a 50% interest in the venture. Operating results of this venture were immaterial in 2004. In addition, the Company started production in the Eaton Fast Gear (EFG) heavy-duty truck transmission business in fourth quarter 2004. The formation of EFG was announced in third quarter 2003. Eaton's partners in EFG are Shaanxi Fast Gear Co., Ltd., and Xiang Torch Investment Co., Ltd. Eaton has 55% ownership of the business. The purchase price, annual sales and operating profit of this business were not material in 2004. AUTOMOTIVE
2004 2003 Increase ---------- ---------- ---------- Net sales ......................... $ 1,847 $ 1,690 9% Operating profit .................. 243 224 8% Operating margin .................. 13.2% 13.3%
Sales in the Automotive segment in 2004 grew 9%. Growth above 2003 included 6% due to volume growth, including new program launches and new contract wins, primarily in the valvetrain, and air induction and cylinder heads systems operations. Sales in 2004 also improved by 3% due to foreign exchange rates. The growth in Automotive's sales considerably exceeded the growth in its end markets. Automotive production for 2004 in NAFTA was lower by 1% and in Europe increased 1% compared to 2003. The 8% increase in operating profit in 2004 resulted from increased sales, which generated an incremental profit on the increased sales of 12%. The incremental profit rate was helped by continued productivity improvements, but was hurt by higher prices paid, primarily for basic metals. In first quarter 2004, Eaton won contracts to supply locking differentials to Hyundai and Kia for several new vehicle programs. Revenues from these contracts are expected to total approximately $67 over the next six years. CORPORATE Net interest expense of $78 in 2004 fell by $9 from $87 in 2003. The decrease largely related to the $180 net reduction in total debt from the end of 2003 to the end of 2004, offset by a slight increase in the interest rates for short-term debt in 2004. Pension and other postretirement benefit expense included in corporate increased to $75 in 2004 from $52 in 2003. The increase primarily resulted from the effect of the lower discount rates used in determining pension and other postretirement benefit liabilities at year-end 2003, coupled with the decline during 2000 through 2002 in the market related value of equity investments held by Eaton's pension plans. These increased costs were partially offset by the effect of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003, as further explained in "Retirement Benefit Plans" in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. In December 2004, Eaton announced that it would exit its tire and refrigeration valve manufacturing business. The Company incurred charges of $15 principally for the write-down of fixed assets and workforce reductions. This business was sold in March 2005. F-41 Other corporate expense-net in 2004 was $172 compared to $117 for 2003. The increase was largely attributable to a charge of $13 for contributions to the Eaton Charitable Fund, foreign exchange expense, and higher corporate administrative costs, as well as favorable legal settlements in 2003.

               (i) determine any questions or matters whatsoever under or in connection with this Agreement except for the resolution of differences between the Parties regarding the determination of the Closing Working Capital Amount in accordance with this Section 1.4;
               (ii) resolve any such differences by making an adjustment to the Closing Working Capital Statement that is outside of the range defined by amounts as finally proposed by the Parties; or
               (iii) apply any accounting methods, treatments, principles or procedures other than as described in Section 1.4(a).
          (e) PKI, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, shall each pay one half of the fees and expenses of the Neutral Accountant; provided that if the Neutral Accountant determines that one Party has adopted a position or positions with respect to the Closing Working Capital Statement that is frivolous or clearly without merit, the Neutral Accountant (i) may, in its discretion, assign a greater portion of any such fees and expenses to such Party and

- 20 -


 

(ii) shall provide to the Parties a written explanation of its reasons for making such a determination.
          (f) The Parties agree that the procedure set forth in this Section 1.4 for resolving disputes with respect to the Closing Working Capital Amount shall be the sole and exclusive method for resolving any such disputes, provided that this provision shall not prohibit any Party from instituting litigation to enforce the ruling of the Neutral Accountant.
          (g) Failure of Buyer to deliver a Dispute Notice within 60 days after receiving the Closing Working Capital Statement shall constitute acceptance of the Closing Working Capital Amount set forth on the Closing Working Capital Statement, whereupon such Closing Working Capital Amount shall be deemed to be the Final Closing Working Capital Amount and the Closing Working Capital Statement shall be deemed to be the Final Closing Working Capital Statement. Delivery by Buyer of a Dispute Notice shall constitute final and binding acceptance by Buyer of all portions of the Closing Working Capital Statement other than those specifically identified in the Dispute Notice as being subject to a good faith dispute.
          (h) If the Final Closing Working Capital Amount is less than $22,900,000, as adjusted to exclude all Tax assets and liabilities of Sellers and PKI Indonesia as of the Balance Sheet Date, including without limitation accrued payroll taxes, accrued real estate taxes, accrued personal property taxes, accrued sales and use taxes, accrued employment taxes and accrued value-added taxes (the “Target Working Capital Amount”), then PKI shall pay to Buyer an amount equal to the difference between the Target Working Capital Amount and the Final Closing Working Capital Amount. If the Final Closing Working Capital Amount is more than the Target Working Capital Amount, then Buyer shall pay to Sellers an amount equal to the difference between the Final Closing Working Capital Amount and the Target Working Capital

- 21 -


 

Amount. Any payment pursuant to this Section 1.4(h) shall be made in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds into an account or accounts designated by the Buyer or Sellers, as the case may be, within five Business Days after the date on which the Final Closing Working Capital Amount is determined pursuant to this Section 1.4.
          (i) For purposes of this Agreement, “Adjusted Purchase Price” means the Purchase Price plus, if applicable, the amount of the payment required to be made by Buyer to PKI pursuant to the second sentence of Section 1.4(h) or minus, if applicable, the amount of the payment required to be made by PKI to Buyer pursuant to the first sentence of Section 1.4(h).
     1.5 Consents to Assignment. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign or transfer any asset, agreement, lease, authorization, license or permit, or any claim, right or benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom, if an attempted assignment or transfer thereof, without the consent of a third party thereto or of the issuing Governmental Entity (as defined in Section 2.4(b)), as the case may be, would constitute a breach or default thereof, would result in a violation of the rights of any such third party, would be ineffective, or would in any way adversely affect the rights of PKI or Buyer thereunder. If such consent (a “Deferred Consent”) is not obtained, then (a) the asset, agreement, lease, authorization, license or permit to which such Deferred Consent relates (a “Deferred Item”) shall be withheld from sale pursuant to this Agreement without any reduction in the Purchase Price, (b) from and after the Closing, the Sellers and Buyer will cooperate, in all reasonable respects, to obtain such Deferred Consent as soon as practicable after the Closing, provided that (i) no Party shall be required to make any material payments or agree to any material undertakings in connection therewith and (ii) if the Parties agree to make any payments (whether or not material) to a third party to obtain a

- 22 -


 

Deferred Consent, all such payments that are made shall be paid one half (1/2) by the Buyer and one half (1/2) by PKI, and (c) until such Deferred Consent is obtained, the Sellers and the Buyer shall cooperate, in all reasonable respects, in any lawful and commercially reasonable arrangement reasonably proposed by the Buyer under which (i) the Buyer would obtain (without infringing upon the legal rights of any third party) the economic claims, rights and benefits (net of the amount of any related Tax costs and any other liabilities or obligations imposed on the Sellers or any of their Affiliates under the Deferred Item) and (ii) the Buyer would assume any related economic burden (including the amount of any related Tax costs and any other liabilities or obligations imposed on the Sellers or any of their Affiliates) with respect to the Deferred Item.
     1.6 Further Assurances. At any time and from time to time after the Closing Date, as and when reasonably requested by any Party hereto and at such Party’s expense (it being understood that such Party shall be required to reimburse only out-of-pocket expenses paid to third parties, and not internal costs), the other Party shall promptly execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents, instruments and certificates and shall take, or cause to be taken, all such further or other actions as are necessary to evidence and effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

All claims for indemnification made under this Agreement resulting from, related to or arising out of a third-party claim against an Indemnified Party (as defined in this Section 6.3(a)) shall be made in accordance with the following procedures. A person entitled to indemnification under this Article VI (an “Indemnified Party”) shall give prompt written notification to the person from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding relating to a third-party claim for which indemnification may be sought or, if earlier, upon the assertion of any such claim by a third party. Within 30 days after delivery of such notification, the Indemnifying Party may, upon written notice thereof to the Indemnified Party, assume control of the defense of such action, suit, proceeding or claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party.

- 67 -


 

If the Indemnifying Party does not assume control of such defense, the Indemnified Party shall control such defense. The Party not controlling such defense may participate therein at its own expense; provided that if the Indemnifying Party assumes control of such defense and the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes, based on advice from counsel, that the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party have conflicting interests with respect to such action, suit, proceeding or claim, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party solely in connection therewith shall be considered “Damages” for purposes of this Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall the Indemnifying Party be responsible for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all Indemnified Parties. The Party controlling such defense shall keep the other Party advised of the status of such action, suit, proceeding or claim and the defense thereof and shall consider recommendations made by the other Party with respect thereto. The Indemnified Party shall not agree to any settlement of such action, suit, proceeding or claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall not agree to any settlement of such action, suit, proceeding or claim that does not include a complete release of the Indemnified Party from all liability with respect thereto or that imposes any liability or obligation on the Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
          (b) Procedure for Other Claims. An Indemnified Party wishing to assert a claim for indemnification under this Article VI which is not subject to Section 6.3(a) shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party a written notice (a “Claim Notice”) which contains (i) a description and the amount (the “Claimed Amount”) of any Damages incurred by the Indemnified Party, (ii) a statement that the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under

- 68 -


 

this Article VI and a reasonable explanation of the basis therefor, and (iii) a demand for payment in the amount of such Damages. Within 30 days after delivery of a Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party shall deliver to the Indemnified Party a written response in which the Indemnifying Party shall: (I) agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive all of the Claimed Amount (in which case such response shall be accompanied by a payment by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of the Claimed Amount, by check or by wire transfer), (II) agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive part, but not all, of the Claimed Amount (the “Agreed Amount”) (in which case such response shall be accompanied by a payment by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of the Agreed Amount, by check or by wire transfer), or (III) contest that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive any of the Claimed Amount. If the Indemnifying Party in such response contests the payment of all or part of the Claimed Amount, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall use good faith efforts to resolve such dispute. If such dispute is not resolved within 60 days following the delivery by the Indemnifying Party of such response, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall each have the right to submit such dispute to a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.14.

- 70 -


 

respective Affiliates with respect to claims resulting from any breach of warranty or failure to perform any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or otherwise relating to the transactions that are the subject of this Agreement. Subject to Section 11.13, from and after the Closing, the rights of Buyer and Sellers under Article VIII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Buyer and Sellers with respect to the subject matter of Article VIII. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing two sentences, in no event shall Buyer, its successors or permitted assigns be entitled to claim or seek rescission of the transactions consummated under this Agreement.

matter pursuant to Section 1.4, and the amount of any Damages for which indemnification is provided under this Article VI, or under Articles VIII or IX, shall be calculated net of any accruals, reserves or provisions reflected in the Final Closing Working Capital Statement relating thereto; provided, however, that the limitations of Section 6.5(b) shall not apply to any claim described in paragraph (b) of Section 6.1 or paragraphs (b) through (d) of Section 6.2.
          (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, PKI shall not be liable for any Damages resulting from a breach of the representation set forth in Section 2.9(e) to the extent such Damages arise from or are otherwise attributable to any operations of the Business after December 31, 2006.
          (d) In the case of Damages relating to claims made pursuant to Article VIII or Section 6.1(b) with respect to those Excluded Liabilities set forth in Section 1.1(e)(vii), PKI shall be liable for only that portion of the aggregate Damages under such Article or Section, as the case may be, which exceeds $500,000 (it being understood that PKI shall not be liable, in any event, for the first $500,000 of said Damages).
          (e) In no event shall any Indemnifying Party be responsible and liable for any Damages or other amounts under this Article VI or under Article VIII that are (i) consequential, in the nature of lost profits, diminutions in value, special or punitive or otherwise not actual Damages or (ii) contingent, unless and until such Damages are actual and mature.

          (g) The amount of any Damages for which indemnification is provided under this Article VI or under Article VIII shall be reduced by any related recoveries to which the Indemnified Party is entitled under insurance policies or other related payments received or receivable from third parties and any Tax benefits actually received by the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates or for which the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates is eligible on account of the matter resulting in such Damages or the payment of such Damages. An Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue, and to cause its Affiliates to pursue, (i) all insurance claims under insurance policies (A) the premiums for which were paid by any Seller prior to the Closing Date and (B) that are occurrence based, whether or not the premiums for such policies were paid by any Seller prior to the Closing Date, and (ii) Tax benefits to which it may be entitled in connection with any Damages it incurs, and each of Buyer, Seller and the Indemnified Party with respect to any indemnification claim shall cooperate with each other in pursuing insurance claims with respect to any Damages or any indemnification obligations with respect to Damages.

- 73 -


 

Indemnified Party under this Article VI with respect to such claim plus the amount of the insurance payments received, over (ii) the amount of Damages with respect to such claim which the Indemnified Party has become entitled to receive under this Article VI.

In addition, Buyer shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Article VIII if a mandatory obligation arises as a result of Buyer’s voluntary disclosure to a third party (other than an Affiliate of Buyer) of information or data, except to the extent that it would be unlawful, or would present a significant and imminent risk to human health, to not provide such information to that third party.
          (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event the Sellers become obligated pursuant to Section 8.2 to conduct, indemnify the Buyer for, or to pay Damages, on account of, any investigation or remediation of a Business Property, the Sellers’ obligations hereunder shall be satisfied by and limited to investigation or remediation of Materials of Environmental Concern at such property to industrial usage levels, or industrial risk-

based cleanup standards under applicable Environmental Law based upon future industrial use of such property.
          (g) This Article VIII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of (i) Buyer and its Affiliates against Sellers or any of their respective Affiliates, and their respective present or former officers, directors and employees, agents, attorneys or contractors, and (ii) Sellers and their respective Affiliates against Buyer or any of its Affiliates, and their respective present or former officers, directors and employee, agents, attorneys or contractors, for any and all claims, Damages or other matters (other than with respect to an Excluded Liability) related directly or indirectly to the Business constituting Environmental Matters.
          (h) Buyer, on the one hand, and Sellers, on the other hand, hereby waive (and shall cause their respective Affiliates and the respective successors and assigns of Buyer, Sellers and their respective Affiliates to waive) any right to seek contribution or other recovery from each other or their respective Affiliates or any present or former officer, director or employee, agent attorney or contractor of Buyer, Sellers or any of their respective subsidiaries with respect to events related directly or indirectly to the Business prior to the Closing that Buyer and its Affiliates or any of them may now or in the future have under any Environmental Law or any common law providing for any remedy or right of recovery with respect to Environmental Matters or Materials of Environmental Concern other than as expressly provided for in this Article VIII. Buyer, on the one hand, and Sellers, on the other hand, hereby release (and shall cause their respective Affiliates and the respective successors and assigns of Buyer, Sellers and their respective Affiliates to release) each other and their respective Affiliates and all present or former officers, directors and employees, agents, attorneys or contractors of Buyer, Sellers or any of their respective subsidiaries from any and all such claims, demands and causes of action.

          (a) For any period ending on or before Closing, PKI shall submit the Tax Returns for PKI Indonesia (and such additional information regarding such Tax Returns as may reasonably be requested by Buyer) to Buyer (and PKI Indonesia) for filing at least twenty (20) business days in advance of the due date of such filing to allow Buyer and PKI Indonesia to review, comment, and object to such Tax Return based on the Buyer’s reasonable review thereof. All such PKI Indonesia Tax Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent with historical practice, except to the extent otherwise required by law. In the event of any objection by Buyer,

- 80 -


 

Buyer and PKI shall negotiate in good faith in an attempt to resolve such objection to the reasonable satisfaction of both parties and, if they are unable to resolve such dispute within five (5) business days, Buyer shall file such Tax Return in the manner prescribed by PKI; provided, however, that if Buyer is advised by counsel that the filing of any Tax Return and the reporting on such Tax Return in the manner proposed by PKI may subject Buyer to any penalties, Buyer may file such Tax Return in a manner which shall be as consistent as possible with the position taken by PKI but which would not subject Buyer or PKI Indonesia to a material risk of the imposition of penalties in the view of such counsel. PKI shall be responsible for the preparation and filing of all Tax Returns for Sellers for all periods (including the consolidated, unitary, and combined Tax Returns for Sellers which include the operations of the Business for any period ending on or before the Closing Date) and for all Tax Returns of PKI Indonesia for all taxable periods that end on or before the Closing Date.

          (b) Buyer shall be responsible for the preparation and filing of all other Tax Returns for the Business. Buyer shall make all payments required with respect to any such Tax Returns, provided that PKI shall be responsible for such portion of such Taxes as required pursuant to Sections 6.1(c) and 9.2(c) hereof.
          (c) Any Tax Return to be prepared and filed for taxable periods beginning before the Closing Date and ending after the Closing Date shall be prepared on a basis consistent with the last previous similar Tax Return, and Buyer shall consult with PKI concerning each such Tax Return and report all items with respect to the period ending on the Closing Date in

- 81 -


 

accordance with the instructions of PKI; provided, however, that if Buyer is advised by counsel that the filing of any Tax Return and the reporting on such Tax Return of any item in accordance with the instructions of PKI may subject Buyer to any penalties, Buyer may file such Tax Return without regard to PKI’s instructions relating to such item. Buyer shall provide PKI with a copy of each proposed Tax Return (and such additional information regarding such Tax Return as may reasonably be requested by PKI) at least 20 days prior to the filing of such Tax Return.
          (d) Buyer and PKI shall share the payment of any transfer, sales, use, stamp, conveyance, value added, recording, registration, documentary, filing and other non-income Taxes and administrative fees (including notary fees) arising in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in the manner contemplated by Section 4.1(b) hereof.

          (b) Any Taxes for a taxable period beginning before the Closing Date and ending after the Closing Date with respect to the Business shall be remitted by Buyer, and the Taxes for such period shall be apportioned for purposes of Section 9.1 between Sellers and Buyer based on the provisions of Section 9.2(c) hereof.

               (ii) Buyer shall be responsible for all obligations and liabilities for Taxes related to any period that ends after the Closing Date, other than Taxes described in Section 9.2(c)(i).
               (iii) In the case of any income or gross receipts Taxes of PKI Indonesia that are payable with respect to a taxable period beginning before and ending after the Closing Date, the portion of such Taxes relating to a Pre-Closing Period shall be determined on the basis of a closing of the books and records of PKI Indonesia as of the Closing Date.
               (iv) In the case of any Taxes (other than income or gross receipts Taxes) that are payable with respect to a taxable period beginning before and ending after the Closing Date, the portion of such Taxes relating to a Pre-Closing Period shall be equal to the product of all such Taxes multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period from the commencement of such period through and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire period; provided however that appropriate adjustments shall be made to reflect specific events that can be identified and allocated as occurring on or prior to the Closing Date or occurring after the Closing Date.

     9.4 Cooperation on Tax Matters; Tax Audits.
          (a) Buyer and PKI and their respective Affiliates shall cooperate in the preparation of all Tax Returns for any Tax periods for which any such party could reasonably require the assistance of another such party in obtaining any necessary information.

Buyer shall have the right, at its own expense, to control any other Tax Audit, initiate any other claim for refund, and contest, resolve and defend against any other assessment, notice of deficiency, or other adjustment or proposed adjustment relating to Taxes with respect to the Business; provided that, with respect to (A) any state, local or foreign Taxes for any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date and ending after the Closing Date and (B) any item the adjustment of which may cause any Seller to become obligated to make any payment pursuant to Section 9.2(c) hereof, Buyer shall consult with PKI with respect to the resolution of any issue that would affect any Seller, and not settle any such

- 85 -

Where consent to a settlement is withheld by PKI pursuant to this Section, PKI may continue or initiate any further proceedings at its own expense, provided that any liability of Buyer, after giving effect to this Agreement, shall not exceed the liability that would have resulted had PKI not withheld its consent.
               (ii) Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Buyer shall have the sole right to control and make all decisions in any Tax audit or administrative or court proceeding relating to Taxes of PKI Indonesia, including selection of counsel and selection of a forum for such contest, provided, however, that in the event such audit or proceeding relates to Taxes for which Sellers are responsible and have agreed to indemnify Buyer pursuant to Section 6.1(c) hereof, (A) Buyer and Sellers shall cooperate in the conduct of any audit or proceeding relating to such period, (B) Sellers shall have the right to participate in such audit or proceeding at Sellers’ expense, (C) Buyer shall not enter into any agreement with the relevant taxing authority pertaining to such Taxes without the written consent of Sellers, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, and (D) Buyer may, without the written consent of Sellers, enter into such an agreement provided that Buyer shall have agreed in writing to forego any indemnification under this Agreement with respect to such Taxes.

     10.3 Covenant Not to Compete; Nonsolicitation.
          (a) During the period commencing on the Closing Date and continuing until the 42 month anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Noncompetition Period”), PKI shall not (and shall cause each Noncompetition Party (as defined in this Section 10.3(a)) not to develop, manufacture, market, service or repair sealing valve and pneumatic products or systems or

- 91 -


 

ducting products for the aerospace and industrial market, or design or manufacture support services for aircraft engine manufacturers or airframe OEMs (a “Competitive Business”); provided, however, that the foregoing covenants shall not prohibit, or be interpreted as prohibiting, any Noncompetition Party from:
               (i) continuing anywhere in the world in any type of business conducted by any Noncompetition Party on the date hereof, which is not part of the Business or the PKL Business;
               (ii) entering into any relationship with a person or entity not owned, managed, operated or controlled by any Noncompetition Party for purposes primarily unrelated to a Competitive Business;
               (iii) making equity investments in publicly owned companies which conduct a Competitive Business, provided such investments do not confer control of any such Competitive Business upon any Noncompetition Party; or
               (iv) acquiring any person or entity which conducts a Competitive Business if either:
                    (A) in the calendar year prior to such acquisition, the consolidated revenues of such person or entity from its Competitive Business do not constitute more than 15% of the total consolidated revenues of such person or entity; or
                    (B) the applicable Noncompetition Party promptly commences and thereafter pursues until the earlier to occur of the expiration of the Noncompetition Period and 24 months after such acquisition, the transfer of that portion of the business of such person or entity as constitutes a Competitive Business upon terms and conditions and at a price determined by the applicable Noncompetition Party in its sole discretion.

     10.4 Disclosure Generally.
          (a) Any information furnished in the Disclosure Schedule (or any update thereto) shall be deemed to modify all of PKI’s representations and warranties to which it is reasonably apparent that such information relates. The inclusion of any information in the Disclosure Schedule (or any update thereto) shall not be deemed to be an admission or acknowledgment, in and of itself, that such information is required by the terms hereof to be disclosed, is material to the Business, has resulted in or would result in a Business Material Adverse Effect, or is outside the ordinary course of business. For purposes of this Agreement, the terms “to Sellers’ knowledge,” “to the knowledge of the Sellers”, “known by Sellers” or other words of similar meaning shall mean the actual knowledge of the persons listed on Schedule 10.4(a) attached hereto.
          (b) PKI shall be entitled to submit to Buyer, from time to time between the date hereof and the Closing Date, written updates to the Disclosure Schedule disclosing any

- 93 -


 

events or developments that occur or any information learned between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date. If the new information disclosed on any such update to the Disclosure Schedule (such information, the “New Disclosure”) would cause the conditions set forth in Sections 5.1(b) or 5.1(h) not to be satisfied (whether or not Buyer ultimately raises the failure of such condition to be satisfied), then PKI’s representations and warranties contained in Article II shall be construed for all purposes of this Agreement (including by limiting Buyer’s right to indemnification pursuant to Article VI) in accordance with the Disclosure Schedule, as so updated. If the New Disclosure would not cause the conditions set forth in Sections 5.1(b) or 5.1(h) not to be satisfied, then the New Disclosure shall have no qualifying effect on PKI’s representations and warranties contained in Article II or Buyer’s right to indemnification pursuant to Article VI.
     10.5 Acknowledgments by Buyer.

BUYER ALSO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT, SUBJECT TO APPLICABLE LAW IN THE CASE OF THE

- 94 -

Each such offer of employment shall be on the same base pay or rate of pay and conditions of employment substantially similar in aggregate value, including any applicable post retirement medical benefits, to the existing terms and conditions of each such US Business Employee’s employment prior to the Closing; provided, however, that all pension and welfare benefits and benefit arrangements shall be provided under plans of Buyer (“Buyer’s Plans”). US Business Employees who are covered by a Business Collective Bargaining Agreement shall be employed by Buyer pursuant to the terms of such Business Collective Bargaining Agreement. All US Business Employees who accept such offers of employment of Buyer or who otherwise become employed by Buyer (the “Transferred Employees”) will become employees of Buyer (with the effect that no period of unemployment will occur with respect to any such Transferred Employees). Buyer shall be solely responsible for all compensation and benefits accrued or benefit claims filed by Transferred Employees on and after the Closing. The Asset Sellers will retain all liability for such benefits accrued or claims filed by US Business Employees prior to the Closing. In addition, Asset Sellers shall retain all obligations for benefits accrued and benefit

- 95 -


 

claims filed by any Inactive Business Employee prior to employment by Buyer as a Transferred Employee and for benefits accrued and benefit claims filed by any US Business Employee who does not become a Transferred Employee. Any Buyer’s Plan in which Transferred Employees are eligible to participate shall provide that for purposes of determining eligibility to participate, vesting and for any schedule of benefits based on service (but not pension benefit amounts), all service with Asset Sellers and any predecessor that is recognized by Asset Sellers shall be recognized. Buyer’s Plans which provide medical, dental, vision, and health benefits to Transferred Employees shall provide such benefits without the applicability of any pre-existing physical or mental condition restrictions (other than those in effect on the Closing Date under a US Business Welfare Plan) and to the extent that a Transferred Employee has satisfied in whole or in part any annual deductible amount with respect to the calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs or paid any expenses pursuant to a co-insurance provision under a US Business Welfare Plan on the Closing Date, such Transferred Employee shall be credited with such amounts under the applicable Buyer’s Plan.
          (b) Buyer agrees that it shall assume any collective bargaining agreements entered into with respect to US Business Employees (a “Business Collective Bargaining Agreement”); provided, however, that such obligation shall be subject to Buyer negotiating provisions relating to pension benefits and other benefits obligations (but not changes to wages or other terms and conditions of employment) reasonably satisfactory to Buyer prior to the Closing Date. PKI shall use its best efforts to assist Buyer in negotiating such changes to the Business Collective Bargaining Agreement.
          (c) Buyer agrees to provide any required notice under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (“WARN”) and any other similar applicable law and to

- 96 -


 

otherwise comply with any such statute with respect to any “plant closing” or “mass layoff’ (as defined in WARN) or similar event affecting employees and occurring on or after the Closing Date or arising as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby. Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Sellers and their Affiliates with respect to any liability under WARN or other similar applicable law arising from the actions (or in actions) of Buyer or its Affiliates on or after the Closing Date or arising as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby.
          (d) Asset Sellers shall be solely responsible for all workers’ compensation claims made by US Business Employees, including Transferred Employees, with respect to injuries or conditions occurring or sustained prior to the Closing.

          (a) As promptly as practicable after the Closing Date, Buyer shall amend the certificates of incorporation, bylaws and other organizational documents of PKI Indonesia to exclude any reference to “PerkinElmer” alone or in combination with any other words or terms or variation of such words or terms.
          (b) Following the Closing, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Buyer shall have no rights to use any trademarks, tradenames, logos or any contraction, abbreviation or simulation of any Seller (the “Retained Marks”) and will not hold itself out as having any affiliations with any Seller.
          (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 10.8(a) and (b), for a period of 90 days after the Closing Date, the Buyer may (i) utilize sales promotional aids, literature and other printed material transferred by the Sellers to Buyer on the Closing Date and containing the Retained Marks, (ii) sell inventory transferred to Buyer as part of the Acquired Assets, that contain or incorporate the Retained Marks, and (iii) manufacture and sell products that contain or incorporate Retained Marks; provided that promptly following the Closing Date, Buyer will implement a plan to eliminate the use of all such material within such 90-day period.
          (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.8, Buyer, upon written consent of PKI, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, shall have an additional period of (i) 90 days to comply with the requirements of Section 10.8(c), but only with

- 98 -


 

respect to those items that cannot reasonably, after diligent efforts, be accomplished within the initial 90-day period because it is impractical to do so or because of the inaction or delay by a governmental authority; and (ii) 90 days to comply with the requirements of Section 10.8(c) above, but only with respect to those items that cannot reasonably, after diligent efforts, be accomplished within the initial 90-day period because such changes require Federal Aviation Administration or other airworthiness approvals.
          (e) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10.8, Buyer may disclose to its customers and potential customers that it is conducting the Business as a successor to the Sellers from and after the Closing Date.
          (f) The licenses to use the Retained Marks set forth in this Section 10.8 shall not prohibit PKI or any of its Affiliates from using the Retained Marks (or any similar name or logo) during the term of the respective license or thereafter in any manner. The Buyer agrees that its use of the Retained Marks shall be consistent with the past practices of the Sellers and their respective direct and indirect subsidiaries in connection with their business and operations and, with respect to such use, Buyer shall adhere to substantially similar quality standards to which the Sellers and their direct and indirect subsidiaries adhered immediately prior to the Closing.
     10.9 Seller Guarantees. If any Seller Guarantee is not replaced and released as of the Closing as provided in Section 4.2, the Buyer shall fulfill all obligations of the applicable Seller and/or its Affiliates under such Seller Guarantees and shall reimburse the Sellers and their Affiliates for all premiums, payments and other carrying costs of such Seller Guarantee attributable to or for periods after the Closing Date, within five (5) Business Days after receipt of invoices therefor. In the event that after the Closing Date any Seller or an Affiliate is required to

- 99 -


 

reimburse a letter of credit issuer for any drawing under a Seller Guarantee, or is required to make any payment under a Seller Guarantee (other than carrying costs as provided above), then the Buyer shall reimburse such Seller or Affiliate within five (5) Business Days after demand for the payment of such amount.

- 103 -


 

     11.10 Amendments and Waivers. The Parties may mutually amend or waive any provision of this Agreement at any time. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be valid unless the same shall be in writing and signed by each of the Parties. No waiver by either Party of any default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, shall be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any prior or subsequent such occurrence.

     11.14 Dispute Resolution.
          (a) Dispute Notice. If there is a dispute between the Parties arising out of or related to this Agreement (except for matters to be resolved under Section 1.4), Buyer or the Sellers (for purposes of this Section 11.14, each being a “Dispute Resolution Party”) may invoke the procedures specified in this Section 11.14 by written notice. The written notice must:
               (i) describe briefly the nature of the dispute;
               (ii) the approximate amount of any monetary claim; and
               (iii) designate an individual with authority to settle the dispute on behalf of that Party.
     The Dispute Resolution Party receiving the notice has 10 days within which to designate an individual with authority to settle the dispute on its behalf and to notify the other Dispute Resolution Party of its designation (the individuals so designated are the “Authorized Individuals”).
          (b) Dispute Resolution. The Dispute Resolution Parties shall cause the Authorized Individuals to begin discussions concerning resolution of the dispute no later than 30 days from the date of the original notice invoking these procedures. If the dispute has not been resolved within 60 days from the date of the original notice invoking these procedures, the

- 105 -


 

Dispute Resolution Parties shall submit the matter to alternative dispute resolution (“ADR”) in accordance with the following mini-trial procedure.
          (c) Neutral. The Dispute Resolution Parties shall attempt to agree upon a mutually acceptable person not then or previously affiliated in any manner with either Dispute Resolution Party (“Neutral”) within 10 days after the expiration of the periods referred to in Section 11.14(b) or the earlier agreement of the Dispute Resolution Parties to submit the matter to ADR. If a Neutral is not selected within that time period, either Dispute Resolution Party may request the Center for Public Resources, or if the Authorized Representative has previously objected to the use of the Center for Public Resources, the American Arbitration Association, to supply within ten (10) days a list of at least three (3) potential Neutrals with qualifications as specified in the request, or as agreed to jointly by the Parties. Within 7 days of receipt of the list, the Dispute Resolution Parties shall rank the proposed candidates independently, exchange rankings (ranked numerically with 1 being the most desired) and select as the Neutral the individual who receives the highest combined ranking who is available to serve. If two or more individuals have the highest ranking and the Dispute Resolution Parties do not agree within 5 days as to whom to select the organization that provided the list of individuals may select the Neutral from among those individuals with the highest ranking.
          (d) Pre-hearing Conference. Within 30 days after appointment of the Neutral, the Dispute Resolution Parties shall meet with the Neutral for a pre-hearing conference. At the conference, the Dispute Resolution Parties shall arrange for the exchange of information in the possession of the other Dispute Resolution Party, including certain limited depositions where appropriate, and the stipulation of uncontested facts. The Dispute Resolution Parties shall establish the extent of and schedule for the production of relevant documents, sworn depositions

- 106 -


 

and the identification of witnesses. Should a dispute arise over the extent of document production, appropriate witnesses or the scheduling of any activity, including the hearing location and date, the Neutral is authorized to make a final determination after hearing each Dispute Resolution Party’s position. At the pre-hearing conference, or at a later scheduled conference as agreed to by both Dispute Resolution Parties, the location and date for the hearing will be set which will not, unless both Dispute Resolution Parties agree, be more than one 120 days from the date of the initial pre-hearing conference.
          (e) Summary of Views. One week before the scheduled hearing, each Dispute Resolution Party shall deliver to the Neutral and to the other Dispute Resolution Party a written summary of its views on the matter in dispute. The summary may be no longer than twenty double-spaced pages unless the Dispute Resolution Parties agree otherwise.
          (f) Hearing. At the hearing each Dispute Resolution Party shall be represented by the Authorized Individuals and also may be represented by counsel. Each Dispute Resolution Party will have an agreed-upon time, not to exceed four hours, in order to present its case. The Authorized Individuals must be present for the presentations but may not participate in them. The Neutral may ask questions during the presentations and the Authorized Individuals may ask questions after the conclusion of the other Dispute Resolution Party’s presentation. At the conclusion of the presentations, the Authorized Individuals, without counsel, will meet with the Neutral to discuss the dispute in order to attempt to reach a resolution. If no settlement is reached, the Neutral will orally summarize the dispute, the strengths and weaknesses of both Dispute Resolution Parties’ positions and give his or her opinion as to how much the Dispute Resolution Party seeking recovery or other relief would

- 107 -


 

receive if the matter were resolved through litigation. No stenographic, visual or audio record made will be made of the hearing.
          (g) Participation. The Dispute Resolution Parties shall participate in the ADR to its conclusion as designated by the Neutral and not terminate negotiations concerning resolution of the matters in dispute until at least 2 weeks after the hearing. Neither Dispute Resolution Party may begin a lawsuit or seek other remedies prior to the conclusion of the two-week post-hearing negotiation period. But, despite anything to the contrary in this Article or elsewhere in this Agreement, either Dispute Resolution Party may commence litigation on any date after which the commencement of litigation would be barred by an applicable statute of limitations or in order to request equitable relief. In that event, the Dispute Resolution Parties shall (except as prohibited by court order) continue to participate in the ADR to its conclusion.
          (h) Costs of Dispute Resolution. The Dispute Resolution Parties shall share equally the fees of, and reasonable costs incurred by, the Neutral. The Neutral may not be a witness, consultant, expert or counsel for any Dispute Resolution Party with respect to the matters in dispute and any related matters.
          (i) Confidentiality. The ADR is a compromise negotiation for purposes of the Federal Rules of Evidence and state rules of evidence. The entire procedure is confidential. All conduct, statements, promises, offers, views and opinions, whether oral or written, made in the course of the ADR by any of the Dispute Resolution Parties, their agents, employees, representatives or other invitees to the ADR and by the Neutral, who is the Dispute Resolution Parties’ joint agent for purposes of these compromise negotiations, are confidential and will, in addition and where appropriate, be deemed to be work product and privileged. The conduct, statements, promises, offers, views and opinions are not discoverable or admissible for any

- 108 -


 

purposes, except impeachment, in any litigation or other proceeding involving the Dispute Resolution Parties and may not be disclosed to anyone not an agent, employee, expert, witness, or representative for any of the Dispute Resolution Parties. Evidence otherwise discoverable or admissible is not excluded from discovery or admission as a result of its use in the ADR and the Dispute Resolution Parties may request any discovery to which they would otherwise be entitled without regard to the documents, depositions or other discovery that occurred as part of the ADR.
          (j) Exclusive Means for Dispute Resolution.
               (i) A Party’s failure or refusal to participate in the dispute resolution mechanisms of this Article is a material breach of this Agreement. If any Party seeks and secures judicial intervention requiring enforcement of this Section 11.14, it will be entitled to recover from the other Party in the judicial proceeding all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that it was required to incur.
          (k) Except for the dispute resolution procedure set forth in Section 1.4, the procedures specified in this Section 11.14 are the sole and exclusive procedures for the resolution of disputes between the Parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement.
          (l) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each Party shall have the right to pursue provisional relief from any court, such as attachment, specific performance, preliminary injunction, replevin, etc., to avoid irreparable harm, even though ADR has not been commenced or completed. For purposes of any action described in this Section 11.14(l), each Party (i) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any federal court sitting in the Southern District of New York, or any state court in the Bureau of Manhattan, State of New York, (ii) agrees that any action described in this Section 11.14(l) may be heard and determined

- 109 -


 

only in such court, (iii) agrees not to bring any such action in any other court, and (iv) waives any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any action described in this Section 11.14(l) and waives any bond, surety or other security that might be required of the other Party with respect thereto.
     11.15 Bulk Transfer Laws. Buyer acknowledges that Asset Sellers will not comply with the provisions of the bulk transfer laws of any jurisdiction in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
     11.16 Construction. Except where expressly stated otherwise in this Agreement, the following rules of interpretation apply to this Agreement: (i) “either” and “or” are not exclusive and “include”, “includes” and “including” are not limiting; (ii) “hereof”, “hereto”, “hereby”, “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement; (iii) “date hereof” refers to the date set forth in the initial caption of this Agreement; (iv) “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” means the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and such phrase does not mean simply “if”; (v) definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms; (vi) references to a contract or agreement mean such contract or agreement as amended or otherwise modified from time to time; (vii) references to a person or entity are also to its permitted successors and assigns; (viii) references to an “Article”, “Section”, “Exhibit” or “Schedule” refer to an Article or Section of, or an Exhibit or Schedule to, this Agreement; (ix) references to “$” or otherwise to dollar amounts refer to the lawful currency of the United States; and (x) references to a law include any rules, regulations and delegated legislation issued thereunder. The language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the

- 110 -


 

language chosen by the Parties hereto to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against either Party.
     11.17 Foreign Exchange Conversions. If any amount to be paid, transferred, allocated, indemnified, reimbursed or calculated pursuant to, or in accordance with, the terms of this Agreement or any Exhibit or Schedule (including the Disclosure Schedule) referred to herein (including the calculation, payment or reimbursement of Damages under Article VI or Article VIII hereof) is originally stated or expressed in a currency other than United States Dollars, then, for the purpose of determining the amount to be so paid, transferred, allocated, indemnified, reimbursed or calculated, such amount shall be converted into United States Dollars at the exchange rate between those two currencies most recently quoted in The Wall Street Journal in New York as of the Business Day immediately prior to (or, if no such quote exists on such Business Day, on the closest Business Day prior to) the day on which the party required to make such payment, transfer, indemnification, reimbursement or calculation first becomes obligated to do so hereunder (or, in the case of Article VI or Article VIII hereof, would have first become obligated to do so but for the operation of Section 6.5(b) hereof); provided, however, that nothing in this Section 11.17 shall be deemed to require any party to make any foreign currency conversion or other similar calculation that violates or conflicts with, or otherwise causes a party to violate, applicable law or U.S. GAAP.
     11.18 Waiver of Jury Trial. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Party hereby irrevocably waives all rights to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or the actions of either Party in the negotiation, administration, performance and enforcement of this Agreement.

EX-10.B 3 l17977aexv10wb.htm EXHIBIT 10B EXECUTIVE INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN Exhibit 10B
 

(EATON LOGO)
Eaton Corporation
2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K
Item 15 (b)
Exhibit 10.b
I. Purpose
The purpose of the Plan is to provide an annual incentive compensation opportunity for eligible employees in executive, administrative, professional, technical, or advisory positions whose actions are considered to have a significant impact on corporate performance.
II. Effective Date
This restatement of the Plan is effective beginning with the 2005 Executive Incentive Compensation Plan year and shall remain in effect until its terms are changed by the Board of Directors of Eaton Corporation.
III. Administration
The Plan is adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company and may be amended, modified or discontinued, as the Board, in its sole discretion, may deem necessary.
The Plan is administered by the Management Compensation Committee (the “Committee”), which shall consist of the Chief Executive Officer and up to four officers designated by the Chief Executive Officer. The Committee shall have complete authority to interpret all provisions of the Plan consistent with the law.
IV. Concept
The Plan is intended to support the Company’s Pay-for-Performance culture. It is based on the concept that those individuals in positions that have an opportunity to significantly affect company results should have a significant portion of their total compensation at risk and linked to business and individual results.
V. Eligibility
Any salaried employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries (including any subsidiary acquired after adoption of this Plan) who in the judgment of the Committee meets the criteria described in Article I may be selected for participation in the Plan. The Committee will have final authority for designating participants in the Plan, but may delegate this authority, as it deems advisable.
An employee may be designated as a participant on the first of any month following the approval of the Committee or its designee.
VI. Calculation of Incentive Compensation Payments
Plan participants will be placed into one of three (3) Incentive Compensation Programs within the overall Plan. These three Programs are:
     
¨
  Operations Program — which will include participants who are assigned to operating units.
 
¨
  Corporate Staff Program — which will include participants who are members of corporate staff functional departments.
 
¨
  Executive Management Program — which will include senior elected officers.

(EATON LOGO)
For each Incentive Year, the total Corporate Incentive pool will be created by multiplying the participants’ base salaries (as in effect as of March 1 of each year) by Target Percentage Incentive Factors which are either (a) the standard percentage Incentive Factor appropriate to their level of responsibility or (b) an alternative individual Percentage Incentive Factor approved by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer or designee. The aggregate pool amount will then be multiplied by the Corporate Performance Factor to determine the Initial Adjusted Corporate Incentive Pool.
The Corporate Performance Factor raises or lowers the Initial Corporate Incentive Pool based on Eaton’s performance as measured by a matrix of Cash Flow Return on Gross Capital (CFR) and Earnings per Share (EPS). A philosophical cornerstone of the Plan is the belief that consistently high performance against this Matrix will result in increases in shareholder value. The Compensation and Organization Committee of the Board will establish the Corporate Performance Factor Schedule. This schedule will define the threshold, target, and maximum CFR/EPS matrix goals and pool adjustment levels for the designated year. This process determines the maximum amount of the Initial Adjusted Corporate Incentive Pool but is not linked to the incentive distribution process.
The Compensation and Organization Committee of the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, will determine the Final Adjusted Corporate Incentive Pool by multiplying the Initial Adjusted Corporate Incentive Pool by a Corporate Performance Incentive Pool Modifier which can affect the initial pool by as much as plus or minus twenty (20%) percent. In applying the Corporate Performance Incentive Pool Modifier, the Compensation and Organization Committee of the Board of Directors will take into consideration such other performance factors as it deems appropriate which may include, but are not limited to: performance versus Profit Plan goals; performance versus that reported for Eaton’s peer companies and progress toward the execution of the corporation’s growth strategies.
The process of allocating the incentive funds is based upon performance ratings. In the Operations Program, each appropriate operating unit will be given a rating on a scale from zero (0) to 150 percent. Participants in each program will be given individual ratings based on the same scale. These ratings will be established by a senior officer, subject to final review and approval by the Chief Executive Officer, and will be based primarily upon the success of the unit and/or individual in meeting pre-established objectives. Individual Ratings for elected officers will be recommended by the Chief Executive Officer and must be approved by the Compensation and Organization Committee of the Board of Directors. It is intended that the ratings process should allow maximum flexibility for the recognition of unanticipated challenges and opportunities, which may not have been contemplated at the time the original objectives were established.
While it is not necessary that the entire Final Adjusted Corporate Incentive Pool be allocated to participants, the total of all awards made to participants throughout the Corporation cannot be greater than the sum of the pools of all three programs. Excepted from this provision are the awards made to designated employees by the Compensation and Organization Committee of the Board of Directors, which shall be calculated in a manner consistent with the Plan, but which shall be paid from the Corporation’s General Funds rather than the Corporate Incentive Pool. At the sole discretion of the Chief Executive Officer, money not distributed from one program may be reallocated to another program.
VII. Other Provisions
The Plan provides for a Special Award Fund which will allow the Compensation and Organization Committee of the Board of Directors, on an exception basis, to award special payments to individual participants who, in that Committee’s judgment, have made extraordinary contributions to the Corporation in a year when there would normally be no incentive compensation payment due to below threshold corporate performance. The maximum amount of such awards is defined in Article X of this Plan.
Page 2

 


 

(EATON LOGO)
Note: When assigning individual ratings, a specific effort is made to differentiate in order to reward extraordinary job performance. To accomplish this, senior officers are expected to allocate ratings above 100 based on clearly demonstrated and exceptional job performance, leadership and initiative. The remainder of that business unit and/or department incentive pool will be allocated, again by job performance, to the remaining participants. As a natural consequence of this process the individual rating will generally average 100. However, because the Plan is designed to reward exceptional performance with ratings well above 100, fully competent performers can expect individual ratings that may average below 100. To insure that incentive pool funds are made available to support effective Pay-for-Performance objective, the Compensation and Organization Committee may, as it deems necessary for selected organizations or groups of incentive participants, require an alternative process for applying the Corporate Performance Factor and (if applicable) the Unit Rating in the individual award calculations. In this alternative award calculation process, the Lowest Ten Percent (10%) of Plan participants, as determined by final Individual Ratings Percentages, will receive the application of eighty percent (80%) of the final approved Corporate performance Factor and, if appropriate, the Unit Rating approved for their organization. The Next Lowest Ten Percent (10%) will receive the application of ninety percent (90%) of the Corporate Performance Factor and, if appropriate, the Unit Ratings approved for their organization. Incentive dollars made available by the application of these rules may be allocated to those Plan participants who are deemed to have made the greatest value contributions during the Plan award period.
In the sole discretion of the Compensation and Organization Committee: (a) the percentages cited in the above paragraphs may be adjusted from time to time to insure effective Plan processes and (b) a process will be established for determining the organization levels at which the Lowest and Next Lowest Ten Percent of Individual Ratings will be identified.
VIII. Payment
Incentive compensation will be paid in the year subsequent to the year in which it is earned at the earliest feasible date following the determination of final corporate performance and the calculation of individual incentive payments.
IX. Service for Part of Year
A participant must be employed by the Company or one of its subsidiaries at the end of an Award Period; provided, however, that a payment, prorated for the participant’s months of participation during the Award Period, may be authorized by the Committee, in its sole discretion, in the event the employment of a participant terminates before the end of an Award Period due to death, permanent disability, normal or early retirement, closure or divestiture of an Eaton facility or any other reason. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon any termination of the Plan during any Award Period, payments to all participants will be made, prorated for each participant’s length of service during the Award Period prior to the date of Plan termination.
X. Accounting Provisions and Defined Terms
Awards paid out under the provisions of the Plan to participants in the Operations Program will be accrued for and charged to the appropriate units. Awards to participants in the Executive management and Corporate Staff Programs will be accrued for and charged as a corporate administrative expense.
Initial Adjusted Corporate Incentive Pool – The sum of the Incentive Potential for all participants in each of the three programs multiplied by the Corporate Performance Factor.
Final Adjusted Corporate Incentive Pool – The result obtained by multiplying the Initial Adjusted Corporate Incentive Pool by the Corporate Performance Factor as described in Section VI.

(EATON LOGO)
Corporate Performance Factor —Adjustment percentages, which raise or lower the Corporate Incentive Pool, based on Eaton’s performance. The Compensation and Organization Committee of the Board of Directors in its sole discretion will establish a schedule of the adjustment percentages and related threshold, target and maximum CFR and EPS goals applicable to each Incentive Year. Performance that falls between the points on the matrix will be interpolated to arrive at the appropriate Corporate Performance Factor to the closest 1%.
Special Award Fund — An amount not greater than twenty (20%) percent of the sum of the Corporate Incentive Pool. The Compensation and Organization Committee of the Board of Directors will have sole authority to grant up to the maximum of this Fund to recognize extraordinary contributions to the Corporation in a year when the CFR/EPS Matrix threshold was not met and the Plan did not generate payments for participants.
Percentage Incentive Factor Schedule — A schedule outlining the percentage to be applied against the base salary of each level of participant in order to determine the participant’s Incentive Potential. The target incentive factor will vary according to level of responsibility, and may be changed from time to time to reflect the competitive practices for companies comparable to Eaton. The target incentive factor can be further adjusted at the beginning of the Plan year to reflect the participant’s level of performance and other factors. The individual adjusted target incentive factors will be set at the beginning of the Plan year. The schedule of standard incentive percentages will be established by the Compensation Department subject to review and approval of the Compensation and Organization Committee of the Board of Directors.
