Jan. `01 Order Comments: Industrial Automation orders improved relative to December, driven by more favorable currency comparisons and continued strength in Europe and other international markets. HVAC orders reflect an improved U.S. air conditioning environment compared to the first fiscal quarter and continued strength in Asia, Europe and Latin America. The change in Electronics and Telecom orders from December to January primarily reflects cancellation of orders that were placed in 2000. Total backlog levels remain strong, over 30% above year-ago dollar levels, driven by large power systems and precision air conditioning systems. Sales expectations for the year remain solid. Appliance and Tools orders reflect continued softness in motor and appliance components demand. Tool-related demand remains at the 0-5 percent level. 2 Process orders reflect the growing success of PlantWeb and Emerson Performance Solutions, widespread strength among control, valve and measurement products, and overall increases in capital spending by customers in select markets. 3 SIGNATURE Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
