Your Company’s strengthened global market positions have resulted in financial performance of which our entire team is proud. Highlights include: • Sales growth (excluding the benefit of currency translation) of 2 percent in relatively stagnant markets. • Margin improvement of 1.3 points, with Control Systems, in particular, driving a 1.5 point margin increase. • Segment operating earnings increase of 19 percent. • Free cash flow of $327 million (8 percent of sales and 114 percent of net income), reflecting high quality earnings and continued focus on asset utilization. These results are a reflection of a leaner, more efficient global enterprise poised to expand in existing markets — and enter new ones. l o g i x : f o u n dat i o n f o r g r ow t h The Logix integrated control and information architecture remains the foundation of our strategy. It facilitates the integration of multiple control disciplines such as discrete, motion, process, drives and safety on a single platform. Logix thus helps our customers reduce costs, speed development and improve flexibility. In essence, Logix helps manufacturers be more competitive. And, in increasing numbers, our customers are realizing the benefits. Our Logix business grew 30 percent in fiscal 2003 to over $200 million. o3 log ix he lps o u r custome r s re duce co sts, spe e d deve lopme nt a n d improve f lexibility. it g rew 3o pe rce nt in fiscal 2oo3 t o ove r $2oo million. o4 We have led the market in the integration of motion control into the control architecture. This capability allows Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to achieve machinery improvements that provide a measurable value to their customers. We are winning new business from packaging, converting and material handling OEMs, particularly in Europe, with this capability. Revenues from OEM customers have grown to over 20 percent of our business. The Logix architecture has enabled us to expand our discrete automation installed base by offering customers integrated solutions for batch manufacturing, process optimization and regulatory compliance. For the first time, manufacturers can adopt a single integrated control and information architecture for an entire plant. We generated revenue of nearly $90 million in these hybrid batch markets in fiscal 2003, with major wins in the pharmaceutical, food and beverage industries. The Logix architecture is also the key enabler for our growth in the evolving manufacturing information solutions market. Logix allows our customers to integrate plant - floor data with their business systems and supply chains to increase productivity and make more effective real-time business decisions. Our manufacturing information business grew over 30 percent in fiscal 2003. This emerging market holds great promise for us. g l o b a l ma n u f ac t u r i n g s o lu t i o n s : o p t i m i z i n g o p e rat i o n s Global Manufacturing Solutions remains another pillar of our strategy. This business provides customers with a portfolio of software and services which help them optimize manufacturing, improve plant uptime and reduce time to market. In a difficult o5 manufacturing environment, GMS sales grew 5 percent compared to a year ago. We formed two important types of strategic relationships in 2003. The first, with IBM, provides the global automotive manufacturing industry with collaborative technologies and services to allow seamless information flow through manufacturers’ enterprises. In the second, we are partnering with global brewing companies to supply a standardized set of solutions to improve their automation systems and decrease time to market. p ow e r s y s t e m s a n d f i r s t p o i n t c o n tac t Rockwell Automation Power Systems performed well, with profits up slightly despite difficult market conditions and lower sales. We have continued to drive our PowerLean program throughout the organization, resulting in productivity and cost improvements. Power Systems also continues to introduce new products to key markets. In addition, we are expanding assembly and repair operations in China and Mexico. These actions, combined with a robust service business, are positioning Power Systems for profitable growth. Rockwell FirstPoint Contact maintained profitability in an extremely difficult telecom- munications market. This business continues to invest in its solutions portfolio, which includes intelligent routing, queue optimization and web powered tools for contact center agents. It also continues to improve the effectiveness of its channel model in delivering a wider range of solutions for its enterprise customers. o6 O u r global manufacturing solutions busine ss p r o v i d e s custome r s with a portfolio o f software and se rvice s w h i c h he lp them optimiz e manufacturing, improve plant uptime a n d re duce time to market. o7 the rockwe ll lean e nte rprise prog ram t a r g e t s agg re ssive long te rm goals i n co st re duction, proce ss time improveme nt a n d highe r inve ntory utilization. o8 s t rat e g i c b u s i n e s s a l l i a n c e s a n d n e w i n i t i at i v e s We worked hard to consummate several targeted business alliances and new initiatives to support our growth strategies. Examples include: • We acquired Interwave Technology, Inc., expanding our Manufacturing Information Solutions capability. • We opened a center of excellence in Shenzhen, China to support OEM conversion applications. • We formed a strategic alliance with Weidmüller Holding AG that enhances our position as a leader in providing IEC connection products. • We enhanced our capabilities in the automotive powertrain market with the acquisition of software-based CNC technology from Power Automation GmbH in Germany. c o n t i n u e d p r o d u c t i v i t y a n d l e a n c o s t s t r u c t u r e We continue to drive significant operating leverage through implementation of the Rockwell Lean Enterprise. This program targets aggressive long term goals in cost reduction, process time improvement and higher inventory utilization. In addition, we have established a major effort in component sourcing, product development and production capabilities in the Asia Pacific region to take advantage of cost reduction opportunities and the local expertise in electronics and software development. We have also expanded our low-cost production base in Mexico, the Dominican Republic and Eastern Europe. o9 l o o k i n g f o rwa r d Rockwell Automation’s growth prospects have never been better. With Logix as the foundation, we hold a powerful market position and are extremely well situated to benefit from a cyclical capital spending rebound and, more importantly, long-term factors driving global manufacturing. And we enjoy great financial strength, with significant operating leverage, outstanding cash flow and a strong balance sheet. It is in this context of strength that the Board of Directors has initiated an orderly transition of leadership. Effective February 4, 2004 (the date of our annual meeting of shareowners), Keith D. Nosbusch, currently corporate Senior Vice President and President of Rockwell Automation Control Systems, will become the corporation's President and Chief Executive Officer. I will remain Chairman of the Board. Keith is a 29-year veteran of our company, and has an in-depth understanding of the global automation business. He is a strong leader who shares my priority of creating value for our customers and shareowners. We are fortunate to have such a talented executive to lead the next stage of the company's growth. I look forward to working closely with Keith as we move ahead. I am extraordinarily proud of the hard work and accomplishments of our strong and dedicated team of people. We have weathered some tough times together; main- tained our integrity and our ethical foundation; and kept our sights trained solidly on our customers and our shareowners. We have adapted, innovated, re-engineered and re-focused. And we have emerged as an energized company, with a customer-driven focus and a bias for action. To our fellow shareowners, we appreciate your ongoing support and will continue to focus our efforts on increasing the long-term value of your investment. s i n c e r e ly, d o n h . dav i s c h a i r ma n a n d c e o 1o i am extraordinarily proud of the hard work a n d accomplishme nts o f our strong and de dicate d team of people. we have adapte d, innovate d, re-e ng ine e re d a n d re-focuse d. and we have eme rge d as an e ne rg iz e d company, with a custome r-drive n focus a n d a bias for action. 11 r o c k w e l l au t o mat i o n c o r p o rat e o f f i c e r s Don H.

Item 1. Business. PART I Rockwell Automation, Inc. (the Company or Rockwell Automation), a Delaware corporation, is a leading global provider of industrial automation power, control and information products and services. The Company was incorporated in 1996 and is the successor to the former Rockwell International Corporation as the result of a tax-free reorganization completed on December 6, 1996, pursuant to which the Company divested its former aerospace and defense businesses (the A&D Business) to The Boeing Company (Boeing). The predecessor corporation was incorporated in 1928. On September 30, 1997, the Company completed the spinoÅ of its automotive component systems business into an independent, separately traded, publicly held company named Meritor Automotive, Inc. (Meritor). On July 7, 2000, Meritor and Arvin Industries, Inc. merged to form ArvinMeritor, Inc. (ArvinMeritor). On December 31, 1998, the Company completed the spinoÅ of its semiconductor systems business (Semiconductor Systems) into an independent, separately traded, publicly held company named Conexant Systems, Inc. (Conexant). On June 29, 2001, the Company completed the spinoÅ of its Rockwell Collins avionics and communications business into an independent, separately traded, publicly held company named Rockwell Collins, Inc. (Rockwell Collins). As used herein, the terms the ""Company'' or ""Rockwell Automation'' include subsidiaries and predecessors unless the context indicates otherwise. Information included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K refers to the Company's continuing businesses unless otherwise indicated. Where reference is made in any Item of this Annual Report on Form 10-K to information under speciÑc captions in Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A), or in Item 8, Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplementary Data (the Financial Statements), or to information in the Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting of Shareowners of the Company to be held on February 4, 2004 (the 2004 Proxy Statement), such information shall be deemed to be incorporated therein by such reference. The Company is organized based upon products and services and has three operating segments: Control Systems, Power Systems and FirstPoint Contact. Total Company sales in 2003 were $4.1 billion. Financial information with respect to the Company's business segments, including their contributions to sales and operating earnings for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 2003, is contained under the caption Results of Operations in MD&A on page 18 hereof, and in Note 20 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Financial Statements. Control Systems Control Systems is Rockwell Automation's largest operating segment with 2003 sales of $3.3 billion (80 percent of total Company sales) and approximately 17,000 employees at September 30, 2003. Control Systems is a supplier of industrial automation products, systems, software and services focused on helping customers control and improve manufacturing processes and is divided into three units: the Components and Packaged Applications Group (CPAG), the Automation Control and Information Group (ACIG) and Global Manufacturing Solutions (GMS). CPAG produces industrial components, power control and motor management products and packaged and engineered products. It supplies both electro-mechanical and solid-state products, including motor starters and contactors, push buttons and signaling devices, termination and protection devices, relays and timers, discrete and condition sensors and variable speed drives. CPAG's sales account for approximately 40 percent of Control Systems' sales. ACIG's products include programmable logic controllers (PLCs). PLCs are used to automate the control and monitoring of industrial plants and processes and typically consist of a computer processor and input/output (I/O) devices. The Company's Logix integrated architecture integrates multiple types of control disciplines, including discrete, process, drive, motion and safety control across various factory Öoor operating systems. ACIG also produces distributed I/O platforms, high performance rotary and linear motion control 1 systems, electronic operator interface devices, plant Öoor industrial computers and machine safety compo- nents. ACIG's sales account for approximately 40 percent of Control Systems' sales. GMS provides multi-vendor automation and information systems and solutions which help customers improve their manufacturing operations. Solutions include multi-vendor customer support, training, software, consulting and implementation, asset management, and manufacturing information solutions for discrete and targeted batch process industries. GMS's sales account for approximately 20 percent of Control Systems' sales. Control Systems has competitors which, depending on the product or service involved, range from large diversiÑed businesses that sell products outside of automation, to smaller companies specializing in niche products and services. Major competitors include ABB, Ltd., Emerson Electric Co., General Electric Company, Schneider Electric SA and Siemens AG. Factors that aÅect Control Systems' competitive posture are its broad product portfolio and scope of solutions, technology leadership, knowledge of customer applications, large installed base, established distribution network, quality of products and services and global presence. Control Systems' products are marketed primarily under the Allen-Bradley, Rockwell Automation and Rockwell Software brand names. Major markets served include consumer products, transportation, pe- trochemical and mining, metals and forest products. In North America, Control Systems' products are sold primarily through independent distributors that generally do not carry products that compete with Allen-Bradley products. Large systems and service oÅerings are sold principally through a direct sales force, though opportunities are sometimes sourced through distributors. Product sales outside the United States occur through a combination of direct sales forces and distributors. In 2003, sales in the United States accounted for 58 percent of Control Systems' sales. Outside the U.S., Control Systems' primary markets were Canada, the United Kingdom, Italy, Germany, China and Korea. Power Systems Power Systems recorded 2003 sales of $705 million (17 percent of total Company sales) and had approximately 4,000 employees at September 30, 2003. Power Systems is divided into two units: the Mechanical Power Transmission Business (Mechanical) and the Industrial Motor and Drive Business (Electrical). Mechanical's products include mounted bearings, gear reducers, standard mechanical drives, conveyor pulleys, couplings, bushings, clutches and motor brakes. Electrical's products include industrial and engi- neered motors and standard AC and DC drives. In addition, Electrical provides product repair, motor and mechanical maintenance solutions, plant maintenance, training and consulting services to OEMs, end users and distributors. Mechanical's products are marketed primarily under the Dodge brand name while Electrical's products are marketed primarily under the Reliance Electric brand name. Major markets served include mining, air handling, aggregates, environmental, forestry, food/beverage, petrochemicals, metals and unit handling. Power Systems has competitors which, depending on the product involved, range from large diversiÑed businesses that sell products outside of automation, to smaller companies specializing in niche products and services. Major competitors include ABB Ltd., A. O. Smith Corporation, Baldor Electric Company, Emerson Electric Co., General Electric Company, Regal-Beloit Corporation, Rexnord Corporation and Siemens AG. Factors that aÅect Power Systems' competitive posture are product quality, installed base and its established distributor network. However, Power Systems' competitive posture is limited somewhat by its relatively small international presence. Mechanical's products are sold primarily through distributors while Electrical's products are sold primarily through a direct sales force. 2 In 2003, sales in the United States accounted for 89 percent of Power Systems' sales. Outside the U.S., Power Systems' primary markets were Canada, Mexico and China. FirstPoint Contact FirstPoint Contact recorded 2003 sales of $112 million (3 percent of total Company sales) and had approximately 500 employees at September 30, 2003. FirstPoint Contact provides customer contact center solutions that support multiple channels (voice, e-mail, web, wireless) through open interaction infrastructure. Products include automatic call distributors, computer telephony integration software, information collection, reporting, queuing and management systems, call center systems and consulting services. Major markets served include telecommunications, Ñnancial, transportation and retail. FirstPoint Contact sells through a direct sales force and increasingly through distribution channels. FirstPoint Contact faces competition from other companies selling both hardware and software in the customer contact market ranging from major multinationals to small companies specializing in niche products and services. Major competitors include Apropos Technology, Inc., Aspect Communications Corporation, Avaya, Inc., Cisco Systems, Inc. and Nortel Networks Corporation. Factors that aÅect FirstPoint Contact's competitive position include product quality and reliability, and reputation. However, FirstPoint Contact's competitive position is somewhat inhibited by its limited available resources to devote to research and development activities relative to certain competitors. In 2003, sales in the United States accounted for 72 percent of FirstPoint Contact's sales. Outside the U.S., FirstPoint Contact's primary markets were the United Kingdom, South Africa and Canada. Acquisitions and Divestitures The Company regularly considers the acquisition or development of new businesses and reviews the prospects of its existing businesses to determine whether any should be modiÑed, sold or otherwise discontinued. Acquisitions During 2003, Control Systems acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Interwave Technology, Inc. (Interwave), a consulting integrator focusing on manufacturing solutions, and acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Weidm uller Holding AG's (Weidm uller) North American business. In addition, the Company entered into a master brand label agreement, a technology/ design exchange and joint product development eÅorts with Weidm uller. The total cost of these acquisitions was approximately $26 million. The acquisition of Interwave expands the Company's Manufacturing Information Solutions capability and accelerates its ability to integrate real-time information between customers' manufacturing plant Öoors and business systems. The Weidm uller transaction enhances the Company's position in providing IEC (an international standard for electrical technologies) connection products which are used to connect factory automation systems to basic electrical switches. During 2002, Control Systems acquired all of the stock of Tesch GmbH (Tesch), an electronic products and safety relay manufacturer; all of the stock of Propack Data GmbH (Propack), a provider of manufactur- ing information systems for the pharmaceutical and other regulated industries; the assets and certain liabilities of the controller division of Samsung Electronics Company Limited's Mechatronics business (the Controller Division); and the engineering services and system integration assets of SPEL, spol. s.r.o. (SPEL). The total cost of these acquisitions was approximately $71 million. The acquisition of Tesch expanded the Company's machine safety product and research and development capabilities. The acquisition of Propack broadened the Company's position in the pharmaceuticals market, enhanced the Company's Process Solutions business, and enabled the Company to expand its reach into the manufacturing information markets. The acquisition of the Controller Division expanded the Company's existing operations in Korea, furthered the Company's design and product development capabilities and supported future commercial and operational expansion in the Asia-PaciÑc region. The acquisition of SPEL accelerated the establishment of the Company as a complete 3 solution provider in Central Europe; it also strategically located the Company in a region with future growth opportunities. In connection with the Interwave, Weidm uller, and Controller Division transactions, the Company would be required to make additional cash payments if certain future operating performance criteria are met by the acquired businesses. Management believes that these additional cash payments, if any, would not have a material eÅect on the Company's Ñnancial position, results of operations or shareowners' equity. Divestitures In the second quarter of 2003, the Company sold a majority of its ownership interest in Reliance Electric Limited Japan (REJ), resulting in a loss of approximately $8 million ($3 million after tax, or 1 cent per diluted share). The after-tax loss on the sale included a $2 million beneÑt resulting from the Company's ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards for which a valuation allowance had been previously provided. The cash proceeds from the transaction totaled approximately $10 million. On June 29, 2001, the Company completed the spinoÅ of its Rockwell Collins avionics and communica- tions business into an independent, separately traded, publicly held company by distributing all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Rockwell Collins to the Company's shareowners on the basis of one Rockwell Collins share for each outstanding Rockwell Automation share. At the time of the spinoÅ, Rockwell Collins made a special payment to the Company of $300 million. Following the spinoÅ, the Company and Rockwell Collins each have owned 50 percent of Rockwell ScientiÑc Company LLC (RSC) (formerly a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company known as Rockwell Science Center). The results of operations for Rockwell Collins for 2001 have been presented in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations included in the Financial Statements as income from discontinued operations. Additional information relating to acquisitions and divestitures is contained in Notes 2 and 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Financial Statements. Geographic Information The Company's principal markets outside the United States are in Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, China, Mexico, and Korea. In addition to normal business risks, operations outside the United States are subject to other risks including, among other factors, political, economic and social environments, governmental laws and regulations and currency revaluations and Öuctuations. Selected Ñnancial information by major geographic area for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 2003 is contained in Note 20 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Financial Statements. Research and Development The Company's research and development spending is summarized as follows: Control Systems ÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏ Power Systems ÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏ FirstPoint Contact ÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏ Rockwell Science Center ÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏ Year Ended September 30, 2001 2002 2003 $112 10 8 Ì $130 $114 10 7 Ì $131 $130 9 10 9 $158 Customer-sponsored research and development was $61 million in 2001 and related primarily to the Company's formerly wholly-owned (now 50 percent owned) subsidiary, Rockwell Science Center. Customer- sponsored research and development was not material in 2003 and 2002. 4 Employees At September 30, 2003, the Company had approximately 21,500 employees. Approximately 14,500 were employed in the United States, and, of these employees, about 8 percent were represented by various local or national unions. Raw Materials and Supplies Raw materials essential to the conduct of each of the Company's business segments generally are available at competitive prices. Many items of equipment and components used in the production of the Company's products are purchased from others. Although the Company has a broad base of suppliers and subcontractors, it is dependent upon the ability of its suppliers and subcontractors to meet performance and quality speciÑcations and delivery schedules. Backlog The Company's total order backlog was approximately $500 million at September 30, 2003 and 2002. Backlog is not necessarily indicative of results of operations for future periods due to the short-cycle nature of most of the Company's products. Environmental Protection Requirements Information with respect to the eÅect on the Company and its manufacturing operations of compliance with environmental protection requirements and resolution of environmental claims is contained in Note 19 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Financial Statements. See also Item 3. Legal Proceedings, on page 6 hereof. Patents, Licenses and Trademarks Numerous patents and patent applications are owned or licensed by the Company and utilized in its activities and manufacturing operations. Various claims of patent infringement and requests for patent indemniÑcation have been made to the Company. Management believes that none of these claims will have a material adverse eÅect on the Ñnancial condition of the Company. See Item 3. Legal Proceedings, on page 6 hereof. While in the aggregate the Company's patents and licenses are considered important in the operation of its business, management does not consider them of such importance that loss or termination of any one of them would materially aÅect the Company's business or Ñnancial condition. The Company's name and its registered trademark ""Rockwell Automation'' is important to each of its business segments. In addition, the Company owns other important trademarks applicable to only certain of its products, such as ""Allen-Bradley'' and ""A-B'' for electronic controls and systems for industrial automation, ""Reliance'' and ""Reliance Electric'' for electric motors and drives and ""Dodge'' for mechanical power transmission products. Seasonality None of the Company's business segments is seasonal. Available Information The Company maintains an Internet site at http://www.rockwellautomation.com.

The Guidelines and charters are also available in print to any shareowner upon request. The Company's Internet site and the information contained therein or connected thereto are not incorporated by reference into this Form 10-K. 5 Item 2. Properties. At September 30, 2003, the Company operated 69 plants and research and development facilities, principally in North America. The Company also had approximately 350 sales oÇces, warehouses and service centers. The aggregate Öoor space of the Company's facilities was approximately 15 million square feet. Of this Öoor space, approximately 65 percent was owned by the Company and approximately 35 percent was leased. Manufacturing space occupied approximately 8 million square feet, with the Control Systems segment occupying approximately 5 million square feet and Power Systems occupying the remaining approximately 3 million square feet. At September 30, 2003, approximately 1 million square feet of Öoor space was not in use, approximately 68 percent of which was in owned facilities. There are no major encumbrances (other than Ñnancing arrangements which in the aggregate are not material) on any of the Company's plants or equipment. In the opinion of management, the Company's properties have been well maintained, are in sound operating condition and contain all equipment and facilities necessary to operate at present levels. Item 3. Legal Proceedings. Rocky Flats Plant. On January 30, 1990, a civil action was brought in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado against the Company and another former operator of the Rocky Flats Plant (the Plant), Golden, Colorado, operated from 1975 through December 31, l989 by the Company for the Department of Energy (DOE). The action alleges the improper production, handling and disposal of radioactive and other hazardous substances, constituting, among other things, violations of various environ- mental, health and safety laws and regulations, and misrepresentation and concealment of the facts relating thereto. The plaintiÅs, who purportedly represent two classes, sought compensatory damages of $250 million for diminution in value of real estate and other economic loss; the creation of a fund of $150 million to Ñnance medical monitoring and surveillance services; exemplary damages of $300 million; CERCLA response costs in an undetermined amount; attorneys' fees; an injunction; and other proper relief. On February 13, 1991, the court granted certain of the motions of the defendants to dismiss the case. The plaintiÅs subsequently Ñled a new complaint, and on November 26, 1991, the court granted in part a renewed motion to dismiss. The remaining portion of the case is pending before the court. On October 8, 1993, the court certiÑed separate medical monitoring and property value classes. EÅective August 1, 1996, the DOE assumed control of the defense of the contractor defendants, including the Company, in the action. Beginning on that date, the costs of the Company's defense, which had previously been reimbursed to the Company by the DOE, have been and are being paid directly by the DOE. The Company believes that it is entitled under applicable law and its contract with the DOE to be indemniÑed for all costs and any liability associated with this action. On November 13, 1990, the Company was served with a summons and complaint in another civil action brought against the Company in the same court by James Stone, claiming to act in the name of the United States, alleging violations of the U.S. False Claims Act in connection with the Company's operation of the Plant (and seeking treble damages and forfeitures) as well as a personal cause of action for alleged wrongful termination of employment. On August 8, 1991, the court dismissed the personal cause of action. On December 6, 1995, the DOE notiÑed the Company that it would no longer reimburse costs incurred by the Company in defense of the action. On November 19, 1996, the court granted the Department of Justice leave to intervene in the case on the government's behalf. On April 1, 1999 a jury awarded the plaintiÅs approximately $1.4 million in damages. On May 18, 1999, the court entered judgment against the Company for approximately $4.2 million, trebling the jury's award as required by the False Claims Act, and imposing a civil penalty of $15,000. If the judgment is aÇrmed on appeal, Mr. Stone may also be entitled to an award of attorney's fees but the court refused to consider the matter until appeals from the judgment have been exhausted. On September 24, 2001, a panel of the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals aÇrmed the judgment. On November 2, 2001, the Company Ñled a petition for rehearing with the Court of Appeals seeking reconsideration of that portion of the decision holding that the relator, Mr. Stone, is entitled to an award of attorneys' fees, and on March 4, 2002, the Court of Appeals remanded the case to the trial court for the limited purpose of making Ñndings of fact and conclusions of law pertaining to Mr. Stone's relator status. Management believes that an outcome adverse to the Company will not have a material eÅect on the 6 Company's business or Ñnancial condition. The Company believes that it is entitled under applicable law and its contract with the DOE to be indemniÑed for all costs and any liability associated with this action, and intends to Ñle a claim with the DOE seeking reimbursement thereof at the conclusion of the litigation. On January 8, 1991, the Company Ñled suit in the United States Claims Court against the DOE, seeking recovery of $6.5 million of award fees to which the Company alleges it is entitled under the terms of its contract with the DOE for management and operation of the Plant during the period October 1, 1988 through September 30, 1989. On July 17, 1996, the government Ñled an amended answer and counterclaim against the Company alleging violations of the U.S. False Claims Act previously asserted in the civil action described in the preceding paragraph. On March 20, 1997, the court stayed the case pending disposition of the civil action described in the preceding paragraph. On August 30, 1999, the court continued the stay pending appeal in that civil action. The Company believes the government's counterclaim is without merit, and believes it is entitled under applicable law and its contract with the DOE to be indemniÑed for any liability associated with the counterclaim. On September 28, 1995, the Company Ñled an appeal with the Department of Energy Board of Contract Appeals (""EBCA'') from DOE's denial of claims totaling $10 million for costs incurred in relation to a 1989 federal grand jury investigation of possible environmental crimes at the DOE's Rocky Flats plant. During pre- trial proceedings, the EBCA bifurcated proceedings so as to consider the Company's entitlement to reimbursement of costs of the sort claimed before determining the amount of any award. On October 31, 2001, the EBCA ruled that the Company was entitled to reimbursement of the types of costs claimed. On April 16, 2003, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit aÇrmed the EBCA decision. The period during which the government could have appealed this decision has lapsed. The Court of Appeals remanded the case to the EBCA for such further action as may be appropriate in light of its decision. Russellville. On June 24, 1996, judgment was entered against the Company in a civil action in the Circuit Court of Logan County, Kentucky on a jury verdict awarding $8 million in compensatory and $210 million in punitive damages for property damage. The action had been brought August 12, 1993 by owners of Öood plain real property near Russellville, Kentucky allegedly damaged by polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) discharged from a plant owned and operated by the Company's Measurement & Flow Control Division prior to its divestiture in March 1989. On January 14, 2000, the Kentucky Court of Appeals reversed the lower court's judgment and directed entry of judgment in the Company's favor on all claims as a matter of law. On May 16, 2002, the Kentucky Supreme Court aÇrmed the Court of Appeals' exclusion of certain of the plaintiÅs' evidence but reversed the judgment of dismissal on the ground that the proper remedy is a new trial on plaintiÅs' claims, but only after and to the extent required following disposition of numerous other issues that were before the Court of Appeals but not resolved in its original decision. The case was remanded to the Court of Appeals for further proceedings, and on August 8, 2003, the Court of Appeals issued a second decision holding that the amounts of PCBs alleged by plaintiÅs to have contaminated their properties were insuÇcient to constitute an actionable injury under Kentucky law, thus requiring dismissal of plaintiÅs' suit with prejudice. On September 8, 2003, plaintiÅs Ñled a petition for discretionary review with the Kentucky Supreme Court. On March 24, 1997, the Circuit Court of Franklin County, Kentucky in Commonwealth of Kentucky, Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Cabinet vs. Rockwell, an action Ñled in 1986 seeking remediation of PCB contamination resulting from unpermitted discharges of PCBs from the Company's former Russellville, Kentucky plant, entered judgment establishing PCB cleanup levels for the former plant site and certain oÅsite property and ordering additional characterization of possible contamination in the Mud River and its Öood plain. The Court deferred any decision on the imposition of Ñnes and penalties pending implementation of an appropriate remediation program. On August 13, 1999, the Court of Appeals aÇrmed the trial court's judgment, a ruling that the Supreme Court of the State of Kentucky has let stand. The Company has been proceeding with remediation and characterization eÅorts consistent with the trial Court's ruling. Solaia Technology LLC. The Company is a party in several suits in which Solaia Technology LLC is adverse. Solaia is a single-purpose entity formed to license US Patent No. 5,038,318 (the '318 patent). Solaia 7 acquired the '318 patent from Schneider Automation, Inc., a competitor of the Company in the Ñeld of factory automation. Schneider has retained certain interests in the '318 patent, including a share in Solaia's licensing income. Solaia has asserted that the '318 patent covers communication systems used throughout most modern factories in the United States. Solaia has issued several hundred demand letters to a wide range of factory owners and operators, and has Ñled a series of lawsuits against about 30 companies. A signiÑcant number of the companies sued by Solaia have chosen to settle the claims for amounts that the Company believes are notably smaller than the likely legal costs of successfully defending Solaia's claims in court. The Company has sought to protect its customers from Solaia's claims, which the Company believes to be altogether without merit and baseless. The Company brought an action in Milwaukee on December 10, 2002 against Solaia and others, Rockwell Automation, Inc., et al. v. Schneider Automation, Inc., et al. (02-CV-1195, E.D. Wis.), asserting the objective baselessness of the claims Solaia has made against Rockwell's customers and seeking monetary damages and other relief under state and federal laws. In January 2003, Solaia and its law Ñrm, Niro, Scavone, Haller & Niro, Ñled a lawsuit in Chicago against the Company and several others, Solaia Technology LLC v. Rockwell Automation, Inc., et al., Case No. 03-CV-566, alleging federal antitrust and unfair competition violations, defamation and other claims. The Company denies any liability under that claim. In a suit Ñled by Solaia in Chicago, Illinois, Solaia Technology LLC v. ArvinMeritor, Inc., et al. (02C-4704, N.D. Ill.), the Company sought to intervene on behalf of its customers wrongly accused of infringement. On April 23, 2003, the Company made arrangements with ArvinMeritor, which now owns and operates the Company's former automotive business, to undertake its defense of Solaia's patent claims to ensure that Solaia's infringement claim against ArvinMeritor could be Ñnally and actually adjudicated in the Chicago patent suit and thereby remove the continuing threat of additional lawsuits from Solaia against American manufacturers. In that case, Solaia responded on May 12, 2003 by suing the Company for direct patent infringement, demanding material monetary damages. As with the claims made against its customers, the Company believes that Solaia's claim against it is wholly without merit and baseless. The Court in Milwaukee has recently denied all of the defendants' (Solaia) motions to dismiss the Company's claims against them. The Chicago Court has transferred Solaia's antitrust case against the Company to Milwaukee where it is expected to be consolidated with the Company's pending suit against Solaia and others. It is unclear whether the Milwaukee cases will go forward, be stayed pending the outcome of the Chicago patent case, or be transferred to Chicago. Other. Like thousands of other companies, the Company (including certain of its subsidiaries) has been named as a defendant in lawsuits alleging personal injury as a result of exposure to asbestos that was used in certain components of the Company's products many years ago. Currently there are thousands of claimants in lawsuits that name the Company together with hundreds of other companies as defendants. Most of the complaints, however, do not identify any of the Company's products or specify which of the claimants, if any, were exposed to asbestos attributable to the Company's products; and past experience has shown that the vast majority of the claimants will never identify any of the Company's products. In addition, when products of the Company appear to be identiÑed, they are frequently from divested businesses, and the Company is indemniÑed for most of the costs. For those claimants who do show that they worked with the Company's products, we nevertheless believe we have meritorious defenses, in substantial part due to the integrity of the Company's products, the encapsulated nature of any asbestos-containing components, and the lack of any impairing medical condition on the part of many claimants. The Company defends those cases vigorously. Historically, the Company has been dismissed from most (approximately 95%) of these claims with no payment to claimants. The Company has maintained insurance coverage that it believes covers indemnity and defense costs, over and above self-insurance retentions, for most of the claims where there is any exposure to the Company's products. The Company does not believe these lawsuits will have a material adverse eÅect on its Ñnancial condition. 8 Various other lawsuits, claims and proceedings have been or may be instituted or asserted against the Company relating to the conduct of its business, including those pertaining to product liability, environmental, safety and health, intellectual property, employment and contract matters. Although the outcome of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty and some lawsuits, claims or proceedings may be disposed of unfavorably to the Company, management believes the disposition of matters which are pending or asserted will not have a material adverse eÅect on the Company's business or Ñnancial condition.

(c) Includes special items of $73 million ($48 million after tax, or 26 cents per diluted share) and a reduction in the income tax provision of $22 million, or 12 cents per diluted share, from the resolution of certain tax matters. Special items include charges of $91 million ($60 million after tax, or 32 cents per diluted share) for a comprehensive restructuring program which included costs associated with the consolidation and closing of facilities, the realignment of administrative functions, the reduction in workforce and asset impairments which were partially oÅset by income of $18 million ($12 million after tax, or 6 cents per diluted share) resulting from the favorable settlement of an intellectual property matter. (d) Includes a gain of $32 million ($22 million after tax, or 12 cents per diluted share) resulting from the sale of real estate, a loss of $14 million ($10 million after tax, or 6 cents per diluted share) on the sale of a Power Systems business, and income of $28 million ($19 million after tax, or 10 cents per diluted share) resulting from the demutualization of Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. (e) Includes a gain of $32 million ($21 million after tax, or 11 cents per diluted share) on the sale of the Company's North American Transformer business and a loss of $29 million ($19 million after tax, or 10 cents per diluted share) associated with the write-oÅ of the Company's investment in Goss Graphic Systems, Inc. preferred stock. (f) EÅective October 1, 2001, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142). As a result of adopting SFAS 142, the Company no longer amortizes goodwill and certain trademarks that have been deemed to have an indeÑnite useful life, resulting in a decrease in amortization expense beginning in 2002. In addition, in 2002 the Company recorded pre-tax charges of $56 million related to a trademark impairment and $73 million related to goodwill impairment in connection with the adoption of SFAS 142. These charges have been recorded as the cumulative eÅect of accounting change in the amount of $129 million ($108 million after tax, or 58 cents per diluted share). 13 Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates The consolidated Ñnancial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States which require the Company to make estimates and assumptions that aÅect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated Ñnancial statements and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could diÅer from those estimates. The Company believes the following are the critical accounting policies which could have the most signiÑcant eÅect on the Company's reported results and require subjective or complex judgments by management. Revenue Recognition Sales are generally recorded when all of the following have occurred: an agreement of sale exists, product delivery and acceptance has occurred or services have been rendered, pricing is Ñxed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured. Contracts and customer purchase orders are generally used to determine the existence of an arrangement. Shipping documents and customer acceptance, when applicable, are used to verify delivery. The Company assesses whether the fee is Ñxed or determinable based on the payment terms associated with the transaction and whether the sales price is subject to refund or adjustment. The Company assesses collectibility based primarily on the creditworthiness of the customer as determined by credit checks and analysis, as well as the customer's payment history. The Company records accruals for customer returns, rebates and incentives at the time of sale to a customer based upon historical experience. Additional accruals may be required if actual returns, rebates and incentives diÅer from historical experience. The accrual for rebates and incentives to customers was $75 million at September 30, 2003 and $74 million at September 30, 2002, of which $5 million at September 30, 2003 and $6 million at September 30, 2002 was included as an oÅset to accounts receivable. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts The Company records allowances for doubtful accounts based on customer-speciÑc analysis and general matters such as current assessments of past due balances and economic conditions. Additional allowances for doubtful accounts may be required if there is deterioration in past due balances, if economic conditions are less favorable than the Company has anticipated or for customer-speciÑc circumstances, such as Ñnancial diÇculty. During 2002, the Company recorded an allowance of approximately $9 million to fully reserve a receivable due to the deterioration in the Ñnancial condition of one of its independent distributors. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $28 million at September 30, 2003 and $45 million at September 30, 2002. The decrease in the allowance balance primarily relates to the writeoÅ of the $9 million distributor receivable and $3 million of account collections for which an allowance had previously been provided. The remainder of the decrease resulted from the Company's regular review of the allowance, considering such factors as historical experience, credit quality and age of the accounts receivable balances. Excess and Obsolete Inventory The Company records allowances for excess and obsolete inventory based on historical and estimated future demand and market conditions. Additional inventory allowances may be required if future demand or market conditions are less favorable than the Company has estimated. The allowance for excess and obsolete inventory was $56 million at September 30, 2003 and $53 million at September 30, 2002. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company evaluates the recoverability of the carrying amount of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. The Company evaluates the recoverability of goodwill and other intangible assets with indeÑnite useful lives annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that an asset might be impaired. The Company 14 uses judgment when applying the impairment rules to determine when an impairment test is necessary. Factors the Company considers which could trigger an impairment review include signiÑcant un- derperformance relative to historical or forecasted operating results, a signiÑcant decrease in the market value of an asset, a signiÑcant change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used and signiÑcant negative industry or economic trends. Impairment losses are measured as the amount by which the carrying value of an asset exceeds its estimated fair value. To determine fair value, the Company is required to make estimates of its future cash Öows related to the asset subject to review. These estimates require assumptions about demand for the Company's products and services, future market conditions and technological developments. Other assump- tions include determining the discount rate and future growth rates. During 2002, the Company recorded pre- tax impairment charges of $129 million ($108 million after tax) in connection with the adoption of SFAS 142. Additional information regarding the impairment charges is contained in Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Financial Statements. Product Warranty Obligations The Company records a liability for product warranty obligations at the time of sale to a customer based upon historical warranty experience. The Company also records a liability for speciÑc warranty matters when they become known and are reasonably estimable. An additional provision for product warranty obligations may be required if actual product performance is less favorable than anticipated. The liability for product warranty obligations was $29 million at September 30, 2003 and $31 million at September 30, 2002. Retirement BeneÑts Pension BeneÑts Pension costs and obligations are actuarially determined and are aÅected by annually reviewed assumptions including discount rate, the expected rate of return on plan assets and assumed annual rate of compensation increase for plan employees, among other factors. Changes in the discount rate and diÅerences between the assumptions made and actual experience will aÅect the amount of pension expense recognized in future periods. Pension expense in Ñscal 2003 was $42 million compared to $25 million in Ñscal 2002. Fiscal 2003 pension expense was determined using the following actuarial assumptions: discount rate of 7.0 percent (compared to 7.5 percent for Ñscal 2002); expected rate of return on plan assets of 8.5 percent (compared to 9.0 percent for Ñscal 2002); and an assumed rate of compensation increase of 4.5 percent (compared to 4.5 percent for Ñscal 2002). All other factors being equal, these changes were the primary cause of the incremental pension expense in 2003 over 2002 of approximately $17 million. For Ñscal year 2004, the Company is assuming an expected rate of return on plan assets of 8.5 percent and a discount rate of 6.0 percent for determining net periodic beneÑt cost. All other factors being equal, and assuming actual experience is consistent with the actuarial assumptions, the Company expects Ñscal year 2004 pension expense to increase by approximately $24 million compared to Ñscal 2003. This increase is primarily attributable to the change in the discount rate and includes the recognition of actuarial losses related primarily to the accumulated diÅerence between actual and expected returns on pension plan assets. In June 2003, the Company made a $50 million voluntary contribution to the Company's primary U.S. qualiÑed pension plan trust compared to a 2002 contribution of $24 million which was related to the spinoÅ of Rockwell Collins. In addition, while not required to contribute any amount to the Company's primary U.S. qualiÑed pension plan trust in Ñscal 2004, the Company may choose to contribute up to the maximum allowable tax deductible contribution of approximately $200 million. The Company currently anticipates making a contribution during Ñscal 2004 to the primary U.S. qualiÑed pension plan trust in an amount that approximates the 2003 contribution. 15 Additional information regarding pension beneÑts, including the Company's pension obligation and minimum pension liability adjustment, is contained in Note 13 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Financial Statements. Other Postretirement BeneÑts The costs and obligations for postretirement beneÑts other than pension are also actuarially determined and are aÅected by assumptions, including the discount rate. Changes in the discount rate may aÅect the recorded amount of the expense in future periods. EÅective October 1, 2002, the Company amended its primary U.S. postretirement health care beneÑt program in order to mitigate the Company's share of the increasing cost of postretirement health care services. This change reduced the beneÑt obligation by $86 million. Net periodic beneÑt cost in 2003 was approximately $29 million compared to $28 million in 2002. Net periodic beneÑt cost in 2004 is expected to be $23 million, which reÖects the full year eÅect on expense of the October 1, 2002 plan amendment. Additional information regarding postretirement beneÑts is contained in Note 13 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Financial Statements. Self-Insurance Liabilities The Company's self-insurance programs include primarily product liability and workers' compensation. For product liability and workers' compensation, the Company self-insures from the Ñrst dollar of loss up to speciÑed retention levels. Eligible losses in excess of self-insurance retention levels and up to stated limits of liability are covered by policies purchased from third-party insurers. The aggregate self-insurance liability is estimated using the Company's claims experience and risk exposure levels for the periods being valued. Adjustments to the self-insured liabilities may be required to reÖect emerging claims experience and other factors such as inÖationary trends or jury awards. The liability for these self-insurance programs was $51 million at September 30, 2003 and $48 million at September 30, 2002. Litigation, Claims and Contingencies The Company records liabilities for litigation, claims and contingencies when an obligation is probable and when the Company has a basis to reasonably estimate the value of an obligation. The Company also records environmental liabilities based on estimates for known environmental remediation exposures utilizing information received from independent environmental consultants. The liabilities include accruals for sites owned by the Company and third-party sites where the Company was determined to be a potentially responsible party. At third-party sites where more than one potentially responsible party has been identiÑed, the Company records a liability for its estimated allocable share of costs related to its involvement with the site as well as an estimated allocable share of costs related to the involvement of insolvent or unidentiÑed parties. At environmental sites in which the Company is the only responsible party, a liability is recorded for the total estimated costs of remediation. Future expenditures for environmental remediation obligations are not discounted to their present value. Environmental liability estimates may be aÅected by changing determina- tions of what constitutes an environmental exposure or an acceptable level of cleanup. To the extent that remediation procedures change, additional contamination is identiÑed, or the Ñnancial condition of other potentially responsible parties is adversely aÅected, the estimate of the Company's environmental liabilities may change. The liability for environmental matters, net of related receivables, was $29 million at September 30, 2003 and $28 million at September 30, 2002. This includes an adjustment made during the fourth quarter of 2003 to increase the environmental reserve by approximately $5 million due to higher estimated future costs for environmental remediation near the Russellville, Kentucky facility of the Company's former Measurement and Flow Control business. Also during the fourth quarter of 2003, the Company recognized income, reÖected in discontinued operations, of approximately $7 million ($4 million after tax) from a favorable determination in a legal proceeding related to the Company's former operation of the Rocky Flats facility of the Department of Energy. 16 Additional information regarding litigation, claims and contingencies is contained in Note 19 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Financial Statements. See also Item 3. Legal Proceedings, on page 6 hereof. Income Taxes The Company records a liability for potential tax assessments based on its estimate of the potential exposure. The liability for potential tax assessments may be aÅected by new laws and new interpretations of laws and rulings by tax authorities, among other reasons. Due to the subjectivity and complex nature of the underlying issues, actual payments or assessments may diÅer from estimates. To the extent the Company's estimates diÅer from actual payments or assessments, income tax expense is adjusted. During 2002, the Company resolved certain matters from previous years resulting in a $48 million reduction of its income tax provision. Additional information regarding income taxes is contained in Note 18 of the Notes to Consoli- dated Financial Statements in the Financial Statements. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance of $47 million at September 30, 2003 for the majority of its deferred tax assets related to net operating loss carryforwards, capital loss carryforwards and state tax credit carryforwards (Carryforwards). The valuation allowance is based on an evaluation of the uncertainty of the amounts of the Carryforwards that are expected to be realized. An increase to income would result if the Company determines it could utilize more Carryforwards than originally expected. At the end of each interim reporting period, the Company estimates the eÅective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full Ñscal year. The estimated eÅective tax rate contemplates the expected jurisdiction where income is earned (e.g., United States compared to non-United States) as well as tax planning strategies. If the actual results are diÅerent from the Company's estimates, adjustments to the eÅective tax rate may be required in the period such determination is made. 17 Results of Operations Summary of Results of Operations 2003 Year Ended September 30, 2002 (in millions) 2001 Sales: Control Systems ÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏ Power Systems ÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏ FirstPoint ContactÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏ Other(a) ÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏ $3,287 705 112 Ì $3,060 716 133 Ì $3,327 748 150 60 Total ÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏ $4,104 $3,909 $4,285 Segment operating earnings(b): Control Systems ÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏ Power Systems ÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏ FirstPoint ContactÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏ Other(a) ÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏ $ 398 54 1 Ì $ 324 53 4 Ì $ 425 39 7 3 Total ÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏ Goodwill and purchase accounting items(c) ÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏ General corporate Ì net(a)ÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏ Loss on disposition of a businessÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏ Interest expenseÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏ Special charges ÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏ Income from continuing operations before income taxes and accounting change ÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏ Provision for income taxes ÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏ Income from continuing operations before accounting change ÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏ Income from discontinued operations ÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏ Cumulative eÅect of accounting change(c)ÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏ 453 (27) (67) (8) (52) Ì 299 (17) 282 4 Ì 381 (25) (57) Ì (66) Ì 233 (7) 226 3 (108) 474 (79) (53) Ì (83) (91) 168 (43) 125 180 Ì Net income ÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏ $ 286 $ 121 $ 305 (a) Other represents the sales and segment operating earnings of Rockwell Science Center through the third quarter of 2001.

(b) Information with respect to the composition of segment operating earnings is contained in Note 20 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Financial Statements. (c) EÅective October 1, 2001, the Company adopted SFAS 142. As a result of adopting SFAS 142, the Company no longer amortizes goodwill and certain trademarks that have been deemed to have an indeÑnite useful life, resulting in a decrease in amortization expense in 2002. The 2001 amortization of goodwill and indeÑnite life trademarks was $56 million. In addition, in 2002 the Company recorded pre- tax charges of $56 million related to a trademark impairment and $73 million related to goodwill impairment in connection with the adoption of SFAS 142. These charges have been recorded as the cumulative eÅect of accounting change in the amount of $129 million ($108 million after tax, or 58 cents per diluted share). The amount included in goodwill and purchase accounting items in 2003 and 2002 includes amortization expense for acquired intangible assets that have a Ñnite life and depreciation expense for purchase accounting adjustments. 18 Demand for the Company's products is largely driven by trends in industrial spending. Sales are aÅected by the level of industrial production activity, customers' new product introductions, upgrades and expansions of existing manufacturing facilities and the creation of new manufacturing facilities. Due to weak business conditions in recent years, especially in the manufacturing economy, manufacturers have been operating at historically low levels of plant capacity utilization. This condition results in the tendency to defer signiÑcant amounts of capital investment until the environment improves. The table below depicts the trend since December 2000 in capacity utilization in the United States, as published by the Federal Reserve, and in manufacturing activity in the United States, as reÖected by the purchasing managers' index (PMI), published by the Institute for Supply Management (ISM). According to the ISM, a PMI measure above 50 indicates that the manufacturing economy is generally expanding while a measure below 50 indicates that it is generally contracting.

Three percentage points of the growth was due to the eÅect of currency translation. Segment operating earnings for 2003 were $453 million, an increase of 19 percent compared to $381 million in 2002. Income from continuing operations before accounting change in 2003 was $282 million, or $1.49 per diluted share, compared to $226 million, or $1.20 per diluted share, in 2002. Net income in 2003 was $286 million, or $1.51 per diluted share, compared to $121 million, or 64 cents per diluted share, in 2002. The 2003 results included a tax beneÑt of $69 million, or 37 cents per diluted share, related to the settlement of a U.S. federal research and experimentation credit refund claim. The 2002 results included a tax beneÑt of $48 million, or 26 cents per diluted share, from the resolution of certain tax matters for the period 1995-1999 and a charge of $129 million ($108 million after tax, or 58 cents per diluted share) related to the adoption of SFAS 142. Control Systems Control Systems' sales in 2003 were $3,287 million, an increase of 7 percent compared to $3,060 million in 2002. More than 3 percentage points of the sales increase was due to the favorable impact of currency translation, primarily resulting from the relative strength of the euro to the U.S. dollar. Sales outside of the U.S. increased 18 percent (9 percent excluding currency translation) (see Supplemental Sales Information on page 27) and U.S. sales increased 1 percent. The Company's Logix and Process Solutions businesses each 19 grew approximately 30 percent over 2002. The Company's Global Manufacturing Solutions business grew approximately 5 percent over 2002. Segment operating earnings were $398 million in 2003, an increase of 23 percent compared to $324 million in 2002. The increase was due to higher volume and the continuing beneÑts of cost reduction actions. Control Systems' return on sales in 2003 was 12.1 percent compared to 10.6 percent in 2002. Power Systems Power Systems' sales in 2003 were $705 million compared to $716 million in 2002. Mechanical sales increased 3 percent while Electrical sales decreased 5 percent. Segment operating earnings were $54 million in 2003 compared to $53 million in 2002. Segment operating earnings remained relatively stable despite the decrease in sales due to savings from cost reduction eÅorts. Power Systems' return on sales was 7.7 percent in 2003 compared to 7.4 percent in 2002. FirstPoint Contact FirstPoint Contact's sales in 2003 were $112 million compared to $133 million in 2002. The decrease was primarily due to lower customer capital spending for telecommunications products. Segment operating earnings were $1 million in 2003 compared to $4 million in 2002. Included in 2003 results is a charge of $2 million related to a workforce reduction. Included in 2002 results were charges of $4 million related to severance and an asset impairment. General Corporate Ì Net General corporate expenses were $67 million in 2003 compared to $57 million in 2002. Expense in 2003 included a charge of $5 million due to higher estimated future costs for environmental remediation near the Russellville, Kentucky facility of the Company's former Measurement and Flow Control business. 2002 included $9 million of income related to the settlement of intellectual property matters. Excluding these amounts, corporate expenses decreased in 2003 as a result of lower corporate staÅ costs and an increase of approximately $2 million in earnings from the Company's investment in RSC. Loss on Disposition of a Business In the second quarter of 2003, the Company sold a majority of its ownership interest in REJ resulting in a loss of approximately $8 million ($3 million after tax, or 1 cent per diluted share). The after-tax loss on the sale included a $2 million beneÑt resulting from the Company's ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards for which a valuation allowance had been previously provided. The cash proceeds from the transaction totaled approximately $10 million. Interest Expense Interest expense was $52 million in 2003 compared to $66 million in 2002. The decrease was the result of the retirement at maturity of the $150 million principal amount of 6.80% notes in April 2003, the beneÑt of an interest rate swap (see Note 9 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements) and lower average short- term borrowings. 2002 Compared to 2001 Sales were $3,909 million in 2002 compared to $4,285 million in 2001. Income from continuing operations before accounting change in 2002 was $226 million, or $1.20 per diluted share, compared to $125 million, or 68 cents per diluted share, in 2001. The 2002 results from continuing operations include a reduction in the income tax provision of $48 million, or 26 cents per diluted share, from the favorable resolution of certain tax matters. In 2001, income from continuing operations before accounting change included amortization of goodwill and certain other intangible assets of $56 million ($47 million after tax, or 25 cents per diluted share), as well as special charges of $91 million ($60 million after tax, or 32 cents per 20 diluted share) for costs associated with realignment actions and income of $18 million ($12 million after tax, or 6 cents per diluted share) resulting from the favorable settlement of an intellectual property matter and a reduction in the income tax provision of $22 million, or 12 cents per diluted share, from the favorable resolution of certain tax matters. Goodwill and certain trademarks deemed to have an indeÑnite life are no longer amortized under SFAS 142. Control Systems Control Systems' sales in 2002 were $3,060 million compared to $3,327 million in 2001. The decrease was primarily the result of continued depressed market conditions for automation products. Sales in the U.S declined 9 percent in 2002, while sales outside of the U.S. declined 6 percent (4 percent excluding currency translation), primarily as a result of a 7 percent decline in Europe (9 percent excluding currency translation). Despite the overall sales decline, sales of Logix integrated architecture products increased 31 percent. Sales in the Global Manufacturing Solutions business increased 6 percent over 2001 driven by increases in process and engineering solutions sales and the acquisition of Propack. Segment operating earnings were $324 million in 2002 compared to $425 million in 2001. The decrease was primarily due to lower volume, especially in higher margin CPAG and ACIG products. In addition, Control Systems continued to invest in the growth of its Global Manufacturing Solutions business. Control Systems' return on sales in 2002 was 10.6 percent compared to 12.8 percent in 2001. Power Systems Power Systems' sales in 2002 were $716 million compared to $748 million in 2001. The decline was the result of lower demand due to depressed market conditions. Segment operating earnings increased to $53 million in 2002 from $39 million in 2001. The improvement was the result of cost savings from actions taken in the fourth quarter of 2001 and ongoing initiatives to improve productivity. Power Systems' return on sales was 7.4 percent in 2002 compared to 5.2 percent in 2001. FirstPoint Contact FirstPoint Contact's sales in 2002 were $133 million compared to $150 million in 2001. The decline was primarily due to decreased customer capital spending for telecommunications products. Segment operating earnings were $4 million in 2002 compared to $7 million in 2001. Included in the 2002 results are charges of $4 million related to severance and an asset impairment. General Corporate Ì Net General corporate expenses were $57 million in 2002 compared to $53 million in 2001. General corporate expenses included income from the settlement of intellectual property matters of $9 million in 2002 and $18 million in 2001 and a gain on the sale of real estate of $5 million in 2001. Also in 2001, general corporate expenses included $3 million of costs associated with the spinoÅ of Rockwell Collins. Excluding these items, general corporate expenses decreased from $73 million in 2001 to $66 million in 2002, primarily as a result of lower corporate spending. Interest Expense Interest expense decreased to $66 million in 2002 from $83 million in 2001. The decrease was due to lower weighted-average short-term borrowings and lower commercial paper borrowing rates in 2002. The Company used commercial paper in the second quarter of 2001 to fund an acquisition by Rockwell Collins. In the third quarter of 2001, the Company received a special payment of $300 million from Rockwell Collins which was used to repay commercial paper borrowings. 21 Special Charges In 2001, the Company recorded charges of $91 million ($60 million after tax, or 32 cents per diluted share) for costs associated with a realignment of its operations to reduce costs in response to the continued decline in demand in industrial markets. Total cash expenditures related to the realignment actions will approximate $50 million, of which substantially all had been spent as of September 30, 2003. The special charges were related to the business segments as follows: Control Systems, $76 million; Power Systems, $5 million; and Corporate, $10 million. See Note 14 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Financial Statements. Discontinued Operations Discontinued operations in 2003 are a beneÑt of $7 million ($4 million after tax, or 2 cents per diluted share) from a favorable determination in a legal proceeding related to the Company's former operation of the Rocky Flats facility of the Department of Energy. Discontinued operations in 2002 related to a net beneÑt of $3 million for the resolution of certain obligations related to two discontinued businesses. On June 29, 2001, the Company completed the spinoff of its Rockwell Collins avionics and communica- tions business into an independent, separately traded, publicly held company. In connection with the spinoff, all outstanding shares of common stock of Rockwell Collins were distributed to Rockwell Automation shareowners on the basis of one Rockwell Collins share for each outstanding Rockwell Automation share. At the time of the spinoff, Rockwell Collins made a special payment to the Company of $300 million. The Company recorded a decrease to shareowner's equity for the net assets of Rockwell Collins as of June 29, 2001 of approximately $1.2 billion (including $300 million of debt incurred to make the special payment to the Company). Included in 2001 income from discontinued operations was $21 million of costs related to the spinoff. Rockwell ScientiÑc Company LLC Since June 29, 2001, the Company and Rockwell Collins each have owned 50 percent of RSC. Results of Rockwell Science Center are included in continuing operations through the third quarter of 2001. Sales of Rockwell Science Center for the Ñrst nine months of 2001 were $60 million. Segment operating earnings were $3 million for the Ñrst nine months of 2001. Beginning with the fourth quarter of 2001, the Company's 50 percent ownership interest in RSC is accounted for using the equity method, and the Company's proportional share of RSC's earnings or losses are included in general corporate-net. Acquisitions See Note 2 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding acquisitions. Income Taxes During 2003, the Company recognized in earnings a net tax beneÑt of $69 million related to a U.S. federal research and experimentation credit refund claim and a tax beneÑt of approximately $2 million as a result of the Company's ability to utilize certain capital loss carryforwards for which a valuation allowance had been previously provided. The ability to utilize the capital loss carryforwards was the result of the sale of a majority of the Company's ownership in REJ which took place in 2003. The full year eÅective tax rate for 2003 was approximately 6 percent, including the eÅect of the research and experimentation settlement (23 percent beneÑt) and the REJ transaction (1 percent beneÑt). See Note 18 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Financial Statements. Management believes that the eÅective income tax rate in 2004 will be approximately 30 percent, excluding the income tax expense or beneÑt related to discrete items, if any, that will be separately reported or reported net of their related tax eÅects. During 2002, the Company resolved certain tax matters for the period of 1995-1999, resulting in a $48 million reduction in its income tax provision. Including the eÅect of this reduction, the eÅective income tax rate for 2002 was 3 percent. 22 Outlook for 2004 Customer demand has strengthened since early September 2003 and management has begun to see a broad improvement across the Company's markets. Management is conÑdent that these early signs are indicative of an emerging upward trend and is optimistic that this trend will be sustainable. Until further evidence emerges, management is planning for revenue growth in 2004 in the mid-single digits and expects diluted earnings per share in 2004 in the range of $1.35 to $1.45. Financial Condition The Company's cash Öows from operating, investing and Ñnancing activities, as reÖected in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, are summarized in the following table (in millions): Year Ended September 30, 2001 2002 2003 Cash provided by (used for): Operating activities ÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏ Investing activities ÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏ Financing activities ÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏ EÅect of exchange rate changes on cashÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏ $ 436 (133) (335) (31) $ 476 (175) (97) Ì $ 335 153 (197) 9 Cash (used for) provided by continuing operations ÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏ $ (63) $ 204 $ 300 The following table summarizes free cash Öow (in millions): Cash provided by operating activities ÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏ Capital expenditures ÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏ $ 436 (109) $ 476 (104) $ 335 (157) Free cash Öow ÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏ $ 327 $ 372 $ 178 The Company's definition of free cash flow takes into consideration capital investment required to maintain the operations of the Company and execute its strategy. Management believes that free cash flow provides useful information to investors regarding the Company's ability to generate cash from business operations that is available for acquisitions and other investments, service of debt principal, dividends and share repurchases. Management uses free cash flow as one measure to monitor and evaluate the performance of the Company. The Company's definition of free cash flow may be different from definitions used by other companies. Free cash Öow was $327 million for the year ended September 30, 2003 compared to $372 million for the year ended September 30, 2002. The decrease in free cash Öow was in part the result of a $50 million voluntary contribution made to the Company's primary U.S. qualiÑed pension plan trust in June 2003 compared to the $24 million contribution made in 2002 related to the spinoÅ of Rockwell Collins. Capital expenditures in 2003 were $109 million compared to $104 million in 2002. Capital expenditures in 2004 are expected to be $125 million to $135 million, but will depend ultimately on business conditions. The Company acquired Weidm uller Holding AG's North American business and Interwave Technology, Inc. during 2003 for approximately $26 million (see Note 2 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of the businesses). During 2002, the Company acquired four businesses for approximately $71 million. The Company elects to utilize commercial paper as its principal source of short-term Ñnancing. At September 30, 2003 and 2002, the Company had no commercial paper borrowings outstanding. During the year ended September 30, 2003, the Company had weighted average borrowings of $27 million under its commercial paper program at interest rates ranging from 1.1 percent to 1.4 percent. During the year ended September 30, 2002, the Company had weighted average borrowings of $68 million under its commercial paper program at interest rates ranging from 1.8 percent to 2.7 percent. 23 In April 2003, the Company's $150 million principal amount of 6.80% notes were retired at maturity using a combination of cash on hand and commercial paper borrowings. The Company repurchased approximately 5.6 million shares of its common stock at a cost of approximately $128 million in 2003, which included repurchases of approximately 70,000 shares at a cost of approximately $1.6 million under a voluntary program that provided shareowners owning fewer than 100 shares of common stock the opportunity to sell all of their shares of common stock to the Company without paying a commission. At September 30, 2003, the Company had approximately $177 million remaining for stock repurchases under existing board authorizations. The Company did not repurchase any shares in 2002. The Company anticipates repurchasing stock in 2004, the amount of which will depend ultimately on business conditions and other cash requirements. Future signiÑcant uses of cash are expected to include capital expenditures, dividends to shareowners, acquisitions, repurchases of common stock in connection with the Company's stock repurchase program and may include contributions to the Company's pension plans. Additional information regarding pension contributions is contained in MD&A on page 15 hereof. It is expected that each of these future uses of cash will be funded by cash generated by operating activities and commercial paper borrowings, a new issue of debt or issuance of other securities. In addition to cash generated by operating activities, the Company has access to existing Ñnancing sources, including the public debt markets and unsecured credit facilities with various banks. The Company's debt-to-total-capital ratio was 32.7 percent at September 30, 2003 and 36.6 percent at September 30, 2002. As of September 30, 2003, the Company had $675 million of unsecured committed credit facilities available to support its commercial paper borrowings, with $337.5 million expiring in October 2003 and $337.5 million expiring in October 2005. During October 2003, the Company entered into a new $337.5 mil- lion credit facility expiring in October 2004. Outstanding commercial paper balances, if any, reduce the amount of available borrowings under the unsecured committed credit facilities. The terms of the credit facilities contain a covenant under which the Company would be in default if the Company's debt to capital ratio were to exceed 60 percent. In addition to the $675 million credit facilities, short-term unsecured credit facilities available to foreign subsidiaries amounted to $121 million at September 30, 2003. The following is a summary of the Company's credit ratings as of September 30, 2003: Credit Rating Agency Short-Term Long-Term Rating Outlook Rating Outlook Standard & Poor's ÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏ A-1 P-2 Moody's ÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏ F1 Fitch Ratings ÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏ Negative* Stable Stable A A3 A Negative* Negative Stable * Standard & Poor's changed its outlook to ""Negative'' in April 2003 due to its concerns about the Company's exposure to unfunded postretirement beneÑt liabilities, including deÑned beneÑt pension and retiree medical liabilities. Should the Company's access to the commercial paper market be adversely aÅected due to a change in market conditions or otherwise, the Company would expect to rely on a combination of available cash and the unsecured committed credit facilities to provide short-term funding. In such event, the cost of borrowings under the unsecured committed credit facilities could be higher than the cost of commercial paper borrowings. Cash dividends to shareowners were $122 million, or $0.66 per share, in 2003 and 2002. Prior to the spinoÅ of Rockwell Collins, the Company paid quarterly cash dividends, which, on an annual basis, equaled $1.02 per share. Since the spinoÅ of Rockwell Collins, the Company has paid quarterly cash dividends which, on an annual basis, equal $0.66 per share. Although declaration and payment of dividends by the Company are at the sole discretion of the Company's board of directors, the Company expects to pay quarterly dividends in 2004 which, on an annual basis, are expected to equal $0.66 per share. 24 Certain of the Company's contractual cash obligations at September 30, 2003 are summarized as follows: Total 2004 2005 Payments by Period 2007 2006 2008 Thereafter Short-term debt(a) ÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏ Long-term debt(b) ÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏ Minimum operating lease payments ÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏ Purchase commitment(c) ÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏ $ 9 800 214 47 Total ÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏ $1,070 $ 9 Ì 48 21 $78 $Ì $Ì $Ì $ Ì 350 Ì 17 38 Ì 21 Ì 29 5 Ì 25 Ì $59 $34 $25 $367 $ Ì 450 57 Ì $507 (a) Short-term debt includes $8 million of industrial development revenue bonds which the Company expects to repay in January 2004 (prior to maturity). (b) Long-term debt excludes the unamortized discount of $46 million and the $10 million fair value adjustment recorded for an interest rate swap as permitted by SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. (c) In connection with the sale of a Power Systems business in 2000, the Company entered into a supply agreement with the buyer of the business. The agreement requires minimum purchases by the Company of approximately $21 million per year through December 31, 2005. In the event that purchases are less than $21 million in a given year, the Company may incur penalties which are 25 percent of the amount by which the actual purchases were less than the contractual minimum for the period. Based upon current estimates of future purchases, management does not believe that any penalties payable under the terms of the agreement would be material to the Company's business or Ñnancial condition. For additional information on the supply agreement, see Note 19 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Financial Statements. At September 30, 2003, the Company guaranteed the performance of Conexant related to a $60 million lease obligation. The lease obligation is secured by the real property subject to the lease and is within a range of estimated fair values of the real property. In consideration for this guarantee, the Company receives $250,000 per quarter from Conexant through December 31, 2003. The guarantee expires in 2005. At September 30, 2003, the Company and Rockwell Collins each guarantee one-half of a lease agreement for one of RSC's facilities. The total future minimum payments under the lease are approximately $6 million. The lease agreement has a term which ends in December 2011. In addition, the Company shares equally with Rockwell Collins in providing a $4 million line of credit to RSC, which bears interest at the greater of the Company's or Rockwell Collins' commercial paper borrowing rate. At September 30, 2003 and 2002, there were no outstanding borrowings under this line of credit. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk The Company is exposed to market risk during the normal course of business from changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The exposure to these risks is managed through a combination of normal operating and Ñnancing activities and derivative Ñnancial instruments in the form of interest rate swap contracts and foreign currency forward exchange contracts. Interest Rate Risk In addition to cash provided by normal operating activities, the Company utilizes a combination of short- term and long-term debt to Ñnance operations. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on certain of these debt obligations. The Company's short-term debt obligations relate to commercial paper borrowings and bank borrowings. At September 30, 2003 and 2002, the Company had no commercial paper borrowings outstanding. During 2003, the weighted average commercial paper borrowings were $27 million compared to $68 million in 2002. There were no bank borrowings outstanding at September 30, 2003. At September 30, 2002, the carrying value of bank borrowings was $10 million. The Company's results of operations are aÅected by changes in market 25 interest rates on commercial paper borrowings. If market interest rates would have averaged 10 percent higher than actual levels in either 2003 or 2002, the eÅect on the Company's results of operations would not have been material. The fair values of these obligations approximated their carrying values at September 30, 2002, and would not have been materially aÅected by changes in market interest rates. The Company had outstanding Ñxed rate long-term debt obligations with carrying values of $773 million at September 30, 2003 and $919 million at September 30, 2002. The fair value of this debt was $844 million at September 30, 2003 and $976 million at September 30, 2002. The potential loss in fair value on such Ñxed-rate debt obligations from a hypothetical 10 percent increase in market interest rates would not be material to the overall fair value of the debt. The Company currently has no plans to repurchase its outstanding Ñxed-rate instruments other than $8 million of industrial development revenue bonds which the Company expects to repay in January 2004 (prior to maturity) and, therefore, Öuctuations in market interest rates would not have an eÅect on the Company's results of operations or shareowners' equity. In September 2002, the Company entered into an interest rate swap contract which eÅectively converted its $350 million aggregate principal amount of 6.15% notes, payable in 2008, to Öoating rate debt based on six- month LIBOR. The Öoating rate was 3.52 percent at September 30, 2003. A hypothetical 10 percent change in market interest rates would not be material to the overall fair value of the swap or the Company's results of operations. Foreign Currency Risk The Company is exposed to foreign currency risks that arise from normal business operations. These risks include the translation of local currency balances of foreign subsidiaries, intercompany loans with foreign subsidiaries and transactions denominated in foreign currencies. The Company's objective is to minimize its exposure to these risks through a combination of normal operating activities and the utilization of foreign currency forward exchange contracts to manage its exposure on transactions denominated in currencies other than the applicable functional currency. In addition, the Company enters into contracts to hedge certain forecasted intercompany transactions. Contracts are executed with creditworthy banks and are denominated in currencies of major industrial countries. It is the policy of the Company not to enter into derivative Ñnancial instruments for speculative purposes. The Company does not hedge its exposure to the translation of reported results of foreign subsidiaries from local currency to United States dollars. A 10 percent adverse change in the underlying foreign currency exchange rates would not be signiÑcant to the Company's Ñnancial condition or results of operations. The Company records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value regardless of the purpose or intent for holding them. Derivatives that are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes are adjusted to fair value through earnings. For derivatives that are hedges, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in fair value are either oÅset by changes in the fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities or Ñrm commitments through earnings or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineÅective portion of a derivative's change in fair value is immediately recognized in earnings. At September 30, 2003 and 2002, the Company had outstanding foreign currency forward exchange contracts primarily consisting of contracts to exchange the euro, pound sterling, Canadian dollar and Swiss franc. The use of these contracts allows the Company to manage transactional exposure to exchange rate Öuctuations as the gains or losses incurred on the foreign currency forward exchange contracts will oÅset, in whole or in part, losses or gains on the underlying foreign currency exposure. A hypothetical 10 percent adverse change in underlying foreign currency exchange rates associated with these contracts would not be material to the Ñnancial condition, results of operations or shareowners' equity of the Company.

Management uses sales excluding currency translation to monitor and evaluate the Company's regional performance.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation Except as indicated, amounts reÖected in the consolidated Ñnancial statements or the notes thereto relate to the continuing operations of Rockwell Automation, Inc. (the Company or Rockwell Automation). Certain prior year amounts have been reclassiÑed to conform to the current year presentation. On June 29, 2001, the Company completed the spinoÅ of its Rockwell Collins avionics and communica- tions business and certain other assets and liabilities into an independent, separately traded, publicly held company (the SpinoÅ). In connection with the SpinoÅ, all outstanding shares of common stock of Rockwell Collins, Inc. (Rockwell Collins) were distributed to Rockwell Automation shareowners on the basis of one Rockwell Collins share for each outstanding Rockwell Automation share. At the time of the SpinoÅ, Rockwell Collins made a special payment to the Company of $300 million. The net assets of Rockwell Collins as of June 29, 2001 of approximately $1.2 billion (including $300 million of debt incurred to make the special payment to the Company) were recorded as a decrease to shareowners' equity. Consolidation The consolidated Ñnancial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company and all subsidiaries over which the Company has a controlling Ñnancial interest. All signiÑcant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates The consolidated Ñnancial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States which require management to make estimates and assumptions that aÅect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated Ñnancial statements and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could diÅer from those estimates. Estimates are used in accounting for, among other items, customer returns, rebates and incentives; allowance for doubtful accounts; excess and obsolete inventory; impairment of long-lived assets; product warranty obliga- tions; retirement beneÑts; self-insurance liabilities; litigation, claims and contingencies, including environmen- tal matters; and income taxes. Revenue Recognition Sales are generally recorded when all of the following have occurred: an agreement of sale exists, product delivery and acceptance has occurred or services have been rendered, pricing is Ñxed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured. Contracts and customer purchase orders are generally used to determine the existence of an arrangement. Shipping documents and customer acceptance, when applicable, are used to verify delivery. The Company assesses whether the fee is Ñxed or determinable based on the payment terms associated with the transaction and whether the sales price is subject to refund or adjustment. The Company assesses collectibility based primarily on the creditworthiness of the customer as determined by credit checks and analysis, as well as the customer's payment history. The Company records accruals for customer returns, rebates and incentives at the time of shipment based upon historical experience. Changes in such accruals may be required if future returns, rebates and incentives diÅer from historical experience. Rebates and incentives are recognized as a reduction of sales if distributed in cash or customer account credits. Rebates and incentives are recognized as cost of sales for products or services to be provided. Shipping and handling costs billed to customers are included in sales and the related costs are included in cost of sales in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. 34 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Ì (Continued) 1. Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies Ì (Continued) Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents includes time deposits and certiÑcates of deposit with original maturities of three months or less. Receivables Receivables are stated net of allowances for doubtful accounts of $28 million at September 30, 2003 and $45 million at September 30, 2002. The decrease in the allowance balance primarily relates to the writeoÅ of a $9 million distributor receivable and $3 million of account collections for which an allowance had previously been provided. The remainder of the decrease resulted from the Company's regular review of the allowance, considering such factors as historical experience, credit quality, and age of the accounts receivable balances. In addition, receivables are stated net of an allowance for certain customer rebates and incentives of $5 million at September 30, 2003 and $6 million at September 30, 2002. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market using Ñrst-in, Ñrst-out (FIFO) or average methods. Market is determined on the basis of estimated realizable values. Property Property is stated at cost. Depreciation of property is provided generally using straight-line and accelerated methods over 15 to 40 years for buildings and improvements and 3 to 14 years for machinery and equipment. SigniÑcant renewals and enhancements are capitalized and replaced units are written oÅ. Maintenance and repairs, as well as renewals of minor amounts, are charged to expense. Intangible Assets Goodwill and other intangible assets generally result from business acquisitions. The Company accounts for business acquisitions by assigning the purchase price to tangible and intangible assets and liabilities. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their fair values, and the excess of the purchase price over the amounts assigned is recorded as goodwill. Since October 1, 2001 upon adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142), goodwill and other intangible assets with indeÑnite useful lives are no longer systematically amortized but instead are reviewed for impairment and any excess in carrying value over the estimated fair value is charged to results of operations. Distributor networks, computer software products, patents, and other intangible assets with Ñnite useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, generally ranging from 3 to 40 years. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company evaluates the recoverability of the carrying amount of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. The Company evaluates the recoverability of goodwill and other intangible assets with indeÑnite useful lives annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that an asset might be impaired. If an asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Management determines fair value using discounted future cash Öow analysis or other accepted valuation techniques. 35 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Ì (Continued) 1. Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies Ì (Continued) The Company performed its annual evaluation of goodwill and indeÑnite life intangible assets for impairment during the second quarter of 2003 and concluded that no impairments existed other than as a result of the sale of a majority of the Company's ownership interest in Reliance Electric Limited Japan (REJ) (see Note 17). Investments Investments in aÇliates over which the Company has the ability to exert signiÑcant inÖuence but does not control, including Rockwell ScientiÑc Company LLC (RSC), are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, the Company's proportional share of the respective aÇliate's earnings or losses are included in other income (expense) in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Investments in aÇliates over which the Company does not have the ability to exert signiÑcant inÖuence are accounted for using the cost method of accounting. These aÇliated companies are not material individually or in the aggregate to Rockwell Automation's Ñnancial position, results of operations or cash Öows. Derivative Financial Instruments The Company uses derivative Ñnancial instruments in the form of foreign currency forward exchange contracts and interest rate swap contracts to manage foreign currency and interest rate risks. Foreign currency forward exchange contracts are used to oÅset changes in the amount of future cash Öows associated with intercompany transactions generally forecasted to occur within one year (cash Öow hedges) and changes in the fair value of certain assets and liabilities resulting from intercompany loans and other transactions with third parties denominated in foreign currencies. Interest rate swap contracts are periodically used to manage the balance of Ñxed and Öoating rate debt. The Company's accounting method for derivative Ñnancial instruments is based upon the designation of such instruments as hedges under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. It is the policy of the Company to execute such instruments with creditworthy banks and not to enter into derivative Ñnancial instruments for speculative purposes. All foreign currency forward exchange contracts are denominated in currencies of major industrial countries. Foreign Currency Translation Assets and liabilities of subsidiaries operating outside of the United States with a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates at the end of the respective period. Sales, costs and expenses are translated at average exchange rates eÅective during the respective period. Foreign currency translation adjustments are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Currency transaction gains and losses are included in the results of operations in the period incurred. Research and Development Expenses Research and development (R&D) costs are expensed as incurred and were $130 million in 2003, $131 million in 2002 and $158 million in 2001. R&D expenses are included in cost of sales in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Customer-funded R&D was $61 million in 2001 and related primarily to the Company's formerly wholly- owned (now 50 percent owned) subsidiary, Rockwell Science Center. Customer-funded R&D was not material in 2003 and 2002. Earnings Per Share The Company presents two earnings per share (EPS) amounts, basic and diluted. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS amounts are based upon the weighted average number of common and common equivalent 36 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Ì (Continued) 1. Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies Ì (Continued) shares outstanding during the year. The diÅerence between basic and diluted EPS is solely attributable to stock options. The Company uses the treasury stock method to calculate the eÅect of outstanding stock options. Stock options for which the exercise price exceeds the average market price over the period have an antidilutive eÅect on EPS, and accordingly, are excluded from the calculation. There were no shares excluded from the diluted EPS calculation for the year ended September 30, 2003. For the years ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, options for 4.0 million and 5.9 million shares, respectively, were excluded from the diluted EPS calculation because they were antidilutive. Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. Stock options are granted at prices equal to the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the grant dates; therefore no compensation expense is recognized in connection with stock options granted to employees. Compensation expense resulting from grants of restricted stock is recognized during the period in which the service is performed. The following table illustrates the eÅect on net income and earnings per share as if the fair value-based method provided by SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, had been applied for all outstanding and unvested awards in each year: 2003 2002 2001 Net income, as reportedÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏ Pro forma compensation expense, net of tax ÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏ $ 286 (5) $ 121 (6) $ 305 (34) Pro forma net incomeÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏ $ 281 $ 115 $ 271 Earnings per share: Basic Ì as reported ÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏ $1.54 $0.66 $1.67 Basic Ì pro forma ÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏ $1.52 $0.63 $1.48 Diluted Ì as reportedÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏ $1.51 $0.64 $1.65 Diluted Ì pro formaÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏ $1.48 $0.61 $1.46 The 2001 pro forma net income includes $6 million ($4 million after tax, or 2 cents per diluted share) of pro forma compensation expense related to the spinoÅ of Rockwell Collins. The pro forma eÅect of stock options on net income for 2003 may not be indicative of the pro forma eÅect on net income in future years. The per share weighted average fair value of options granted was $2.98 in 2003, $2.99 in 2002 and $8.79 in 2001. The per share weighted average fair value of options granted in 2001 has not been restated to reÖect the SpinoÅ.

Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies Ì (Continued) Environmental Matters The Company records accruals for environmental matters in the period in which its responsibility is probable and the cost can be reasonably estimated. Revisions to the accruals are made in the periods in which the estimated costs of remediation change. At environmental sites in which more than one potentially responsible party has been identiÑed, the Company records a liability for its estimated allocable share of costs related to its involvement with the site as well as an estimated allocable share of costs related to the involvement of insolvent or unidentiÑed parties. At environmental sites in which the Company is the only responsible party, the Company records a liability for the total estimated costs of remediation. Future expenditures for environmental remediation obligations are not discounted to their present value. If recovery from insurers or other third parties is determined to be probable, the Company records a receivable for the estimated recovery. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In July 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities (SFAS 146), which addresses Ñnancial accounting and reporting associated with exit or disposal activities. Under SFAS 146, the Company will measure costs associated with an exit or disposal activity at fair value and recognize the costs in the period in which the liability is incurred rather than at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan. The Company adopted SFAS 146 on January 1, 2003. In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others (FIN 45). FIN 45 provides guidance on the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual Ñnancial statements about its obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued and also clariÑes that a guarantor is required to recognize, at the inception of certain guarantees, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. The Company adopted FIN 45 in 2003. In November 2002, the EITF reached a consensus on Issue No. 00-21, Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables (EITF 00-21). EITF 00-21 establishes criteria to determine whether an arrangement that contains multiple deliverables should be divided into separate units of accounting and how the arrangement consideration should be allocated among the separate units. EITF 00-21 was eÅective for arrangements entered into after June 30, 2003. In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (FIN 46). FIN 46 requires a company to consolidate any variable interest entities for which the company has a controlling Ñnancial interest. FIN 46 also requires disclosures about the variable interest entities that the Company is not required to consolidate, but in which it has a signiÑcant variable interest. The Company adopted the consolidation requirements of FIN 46 on February 1, 2003. The adoption of SFAS 146, FIN 45, EITF 00-21 and FIN 46 had no eÅect on the Company's Ñnancial position, results of operations or shareowners' equity. 2. Acquisitions of Businesses In March 2003, the Company's Control Systems segment acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Weidm uller Holding AG's (Weidm uller) North American business. In addition, the Company entered into a master brand label agreement, a technology/design exchange and joint product development eÅorts with Weidm uller. The acquisition enhances the Company's position in providing IEC (an international standard for electrical technologies) connection products which are used to connect factory automation systems to basic electrical switches. 38 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Ì (Continued) 2. Acquisitions of Businesses Ì (Continued) In February 2003, the Company's Control Systems segment acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Interwave Technology, Inc., a consulting integrator focusing on manufacturing solutions. The acquisition expands the Company's Manufacturing Information Solutions capability and accelerates its ability to integrate real-time information between customers' manufacturing plant Öoors and business systems. The aggregate cash purchase price of the businesses acquired in 2003 was approximately $26 million. The Company would be required to make additional cash payments if certain future operating performance criteria are met by the acquired businesses. Management believes that these additional cash payments, if any, would be recorded as goodwill and would not have a material eÅect on the Company's Ñnancial position, results of operations or shareowners' equity. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been recorded at estimated fair values. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the acquired tangible and intangible assets was recorded as goodwill. See Note 3 for goodwill and intangible assets acquired in connection with these acquisitions. In September 2002, the Company's Control Systems segment acquired the engineering services and system integration assets of SPEL, spol. s.r.o. The acquisition accelerated the establishment of the Company as a complete solution provider in Central Europe and it also strategically located the Company in a region with future growth opportunities. In May 2002, the Company's Control Systems segment acquired the assets and assumed certain liabilities of the controller division of Samsung Electronics Company Limited's Mechatronics business (the Controller Division). The Company combined its existing Korean business with the Controller Division to form a new business that operates under the name Rockwell Samsung Automation and creates technologies for the design and development of automation products. The acquisition expanded the Company's existing operations in Korea, furthered the Company's design and product development capabilities and supported future commer- cial and operational expansion in the Asia PaciÑc region. In March 2002, the Company's Control Systems segment acquired all of the stock of Propack Data GmbH (Propack), a provider of manufacturing information systems for the pharmaceutical and other regulated industries. The acquisition broadened the Company's position in the pharmaceuticals market, enhanced the Company's Process Solutions business and enabled the Company to expand its reach into the manufacturing information markets. In January 2002, the Company's Control Systems segment acquired all of the stock of Tesch GmbH, an electronic products and safety relay manufacturer, expanding the Company's machine safety product and research and development capabilities. The aggregate cash purchase price of the businesses acquired in 2002, of which the majority related to the acquisition of Propack, was approximately $71 million. In connection with the Controller Division transaction, the Company would be required to make additional cash payments if certain future operating performance criteria are met by the acquired business. Management believes that these additional cash payments, if any, would be recorded as goodwill and would not have a material eÅect on the Company's Ñnancial position, results of operations or shareowners' equity. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been recorded at fair values. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the acquired tangible and intangible assets was recorded as goodwill. See Note 3 for goodwill and intangible assets acquired in connection with these acquisitions. Amounts recorded for liabilities assumed in connection with these acquisitions were $1 million in 2003 and $6 million in 2002. These acquisitions were accounted for as purchases and, accordingly, the results of operations of these businesses have been included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations since their respective dates of 39 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Ì (Continued) 2. Acquisitions of Businesses Ì (Continued) acquisition. Pro forma Ñnancial information and allocation of the purchase price is not presented as the combined eÅect of these acquisitions was not material to the Company's results of operations or Ñnancial position. 3. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets In connection with the adoption of SFAS 142 in 2002, management determined that the Company's Allen-Bradley, Reliance and Dodge trademarks have indeÑnite useful lives. Accordingly, management performed a transitional intangible asset impairment test which resulted in an impairment charge of $56 million ($35 million after tax, or 19 cents per diluted share) related to the Reliance trademark used primarily by Power Systems. The impairment charge represents the excess of the carrying amount of the trademark over its estimated fair value as determined by management, with the assistance of independent valuation experts, utilizing the relief from royalty valuation method. This method estimates the beneÑt to the Company resulting from owning rather than licensing the trademark. Also in connection with the adoption of SFAS 142, the Company completed a transitional goodwill impairment test during 2002. As a result, an impairment charge of $73 million (before and after tax, or 39 cents per diluted share) was recorded related to goodwill at a Power Systems reporting unit. The fair value of the reporting unit was estimated using a combination of valuation techniques, including the present value of expected future cash Öows and historical valuations of comparable businesses. The previous method for determining impairment prescribed by SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of, utilized an undiscounted cash Öow approach for the initial impairment assessment, while SFAS 142 utilizes a fair value approach. The trademark impairment charge and the goodwill impairment charge discussed above are the result of the change in the accounting method for determining the impairment of goodwill and certain intangible assets. These charges have been recorded as the cumulative eÅect of accounting change in the amount of $129 million ($108 million after tax, or 58 cents per diluted share) as of October 1, 2001 in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The weighted average interest rate on short-term bank borrowings was 2.8 percent at September 30, 2002. At September 30, 2003, the Company had $675 million of unsecured committed credit facilities available to support its commercial paper borrowings, with $337.5 million expiring in October 2003 and $337.5 million expiring in October 2005.

Long-Term Debt Ì (Continued) In September 2002, the Company entered into an interest rate swap contract (the Swap) which eÅectively converted its $350 million aggregate principal amount of 6.15% notes, payable in 2008, to Öoating rate debt based on six-month LIBOR. The Öoating rate was 3.52 percent at September 30, 2003 and 4.21 percent at September 30, 2002. The fair value of the Swap, based upon quoted market prices for contracts with similar maturities, was approximately $10 million at September 30, 2003 and $6 million at September 30, 2002. As permitted by SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 133) as amended, the Company has designated the Swap as a fair value hedge. Accordingly, the fair value of the Swap was recorded in other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and the carrying value of the underlying debt was increased to $360 million at September 30, 2003 and $356 million at September 30, 2002 in accordance with SFAS 133. Interest payments were $55 million during 2003, $63 million during 2002 and $79 million during 2001. Interest payments related to discontinued operations for 2001 were not signiÑcant. 10. Financial Instruments The Company's Ñnancial instruments include short- and long-term debt, foreign currency forward exchange contracts and an interest rate swap. It is the policy of the Company not to enter into derivative Ñnancial instruments for speculative purposes. The fair value of short-term debt approximates the carrying value due to its short-term nature. The carrying value of long-term debt was $773 million at September 30, 2003 and $919 million at September 30, 2002. The fair value of long-term debt, based upon quoted market prices for the same or similar issues, was $844 million at September 30, 2003 and $976 million at September 30, 2002. Foreign currency forward exchange contracts provide for the purchase or sale of foreign currencies at speciÑed future dates at speciÑed exchange rates. At September 30, 2003 and 2002, the Company had outstanding foreign currency forward exchange contracts primarily consisting of contracts for the euro, pound sterling, Canadian dollar and Swiss franc. The net carrying value of foreign currency forward exchange contracts of $42 million at September 30, 2003 and $15 million at September 30, 2002 represented the approximate fair value based upon quoted market prices for contracts with similar maturities. The foreign currency forward exchange contracts are recorded in other current assets in the amounts of $5 million as of September 30, 2003 and $6 million as of September 30, 2002 and other current liabilities in the amounts of $47 million as of September 30, 2003 and $21 million as of September 30, 2002. The Company does not anticipate any material adverse eÅect on its results of operations or Ñnancial position relating to these foreign currency forward exchange contracts. The Company has designated certain foreign currency forward exchange contracts related to forecasted intercompany transactions as cash Öow hedges. The amount recognized in earnings as a result of the ineÅectiveness of cash Öow hedges was not material. 11. Shareowners' Equity Common Stock At September 30, 2003, the authorized stock of the Company consisted of one billion shares of common stock, par value $1 per share, and 25 million shares of preferred stock, without par value. At September 30, 2003, 22.3 million shares of common stock were reserved for various incentive plans. 45 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Ì (Continued) 11.

The Rights will become exercisable only if a person or group, without the approval of the board of directors, acquires, or oÅers to acquire, 20% or more of the common stock, although the board of directors is authorized to reduce the 20% threshold for triggering the Rights to not less than 10%. Upon exercise, each Right entitles the holder to 1/100th of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock of the Company (Junior Preferred Stock) at a price of $250, subject to adjustment. Upon an acquisition of the Company, each Right (other than Rights held by the acquirer) will generally be exercisable for $500 worth of either common stock of the Company or common stock of the acquirer for $250. In certain circumstances, each Right may be exchanged by the Company for one share of common stock or 1/100th of a share of Junior Preferred Stock. The Rights will expire on December 6, 2006, unless earlier exchanged or redeemed at $0.01 per Right.

Unrealized losses on cash Öow hedges of $24 million ($15 million after tax) were reclassiÑed into earnings in 2003 and oÅset gains on the hedged items. Unrealized gains on cash Öow hedges of $7 million ($4 million after tax) in 2002 and $22 million ($15 million after tax) in 2001 were reclassiÑed into earnings and oÅset losses on the hedged items. Approximately $28 million ($18 million after tax) of the net unrealized losses on cash Öow hedges as of September 30, 2003 will be reclassiÑed into earnings during 2004. Management expects that these unrealized losses will be oÅset when the hedged items are recognized in earnings. 46 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Ì (Continued) 12.

Retirement BeneÑts The Company sponsors pension and other postretirement beneÑt plans for its employees. The pension plans cover most of the Company's employees and provide for monthly pension payments to eligible employees upon retirement. Pension beneÑts for salaried employees generally are based on years of credited service and average earnings. Pension beneÑts for hourly employees are primarily based on speciÑed beneÑt amounts and years of service. The Company's policy with respect to funding its pension obligation is to fund the minimum amount required by applicable laws and governmental regulations. The Company may, at its discretion, fund amounts in excess of the minimum amount required by laws and regulations. Other postretirement beneÑts are primarily in the form of retirement medical plans and cover most of the Company's United States employees and provide for the payment of certain medical costs of eligible employees and dependents upon retirement. In connection with the SpinoÅ, Rockwell Collins assumed the former Rockwell International Corporation domestic qualiÑed pension plan (Rockwell Retirement Plan). Pension plan obligations attributable to all of Rockwell Automation's domestic active employees and former employees of the Control Systems, Power Systems and FirstPoint Contact businesses were retained by Rockwell Automation and a proportionate share of pension plan assets were transferred from the former Rockwell International Corporation domestic qualiÑed plan (Rockwell Retirement Plan) to a new pension plan established by Rockwell Automation. The Company also retained liabilities for other postretirement beneÑts for active and former employees.

After recognition of a deferred tax asset of $108 million, the net reduction to shareowners equity resulting from this adjustment was $170 million. In June 2003, the Company made a $50 million voluntary contribution to the Company's primary U.S. qualiÑed pension plan trust compared to a 2002 contribution of $24 million which was related to the spinoÅ of Rockwell Collins. The Company uses an actuarial measurement date of June 30 to measure its beneÑt obligations for pension and other postretirement beneÑts. Net Periodic BeneÑt Cost Assumptions SigniÑcant assumptions used in determining net periodic beneÑt cost for the Ñscal years ended September 30, 2003, 2002 and 2001 are as follows: Pension BeneÑts 2002 2001 2003 Other Postretirement BeneÑts 2002 2003(1) 2001 Discount rate ÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏ Expected return on plan assets ÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏ Compensation increase rate ÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏ 7.0% 7.5% 8.0% 8.5% 9.0% 9.75% Ì 4.5% 4.5% 4.5% Ì 6.6% 7.5% 8.0% Ì Ì Ì Ì Net BeneÑt Obligation Assumptions SigniÑcant assumptions used in determining the beneÑt obligations as of September 30 are summarized as follows (in weighted averages): Pension BeneÑts 2002 2003 2001 Other Postretirement BeneÑts 2002 2003 2001 Discount rate ÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏ Compensation increase rate ÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏ Healthcare cost trend rate(2) ÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏ Ì 6.0% 7.0% 7.5% 6.0% 7.0% 7.5% 4.5% 4.5% 4.5% Ì Ì Ì Ì Ì 11.0% 8.5% 8.0% (1) As a result of the plan amendment adopted eÅective October 1, 2002, as more fully described below, and in accordance with SFAS No. 106, Employers' Accounting for Postretirement BeneÑt Other Than Pensions, the Company's postretirement healthcare liabilities were recalculated as of the date of the amendment using a 6.5 percent discount rate, the discount rate applicable at the date of the plan amendment. The Company's related net periodic beneÑt cost in 2003 of $29 million consists of expense at a 7 percent discount 50 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Ì (Continued) 13. Retirement BeneÑts Ì (Continued) rate for the period July 1, 2002 through September 30, 2002 and expense at a 6.5 percent discount rate for the period October 1, 2002 through June 30, 2003. (2) The healthcare cost trend rate reÖects the estimated increase in gross medical claims costs as required to be disclosed by SFAS No. 132, Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement BeneÑts. The gross healthcare cost trend rate will decrease to 5.5% in 2009. As a result of the plan amendment adopted eÅective October 1, 2002, as more fully described below, the eÅective retiree medical cost increase to the Company will approach zero percent in 2005. EÅective October 1, 2002, the Company amended its United States postretirement healthcare beneÑt program in order to mitigate the increasing cost of postretirement healthcare services. This change will be phased in as follows: eÅective January 1, 2004, the Company, per an amendment to this program implemented in 1992, will contribute 50 percent of the amount in excess of the 2003 per capita amount. However, the Company's calendar 2004 contribution shall be limited to a 7.5 percent increase from the 2003 per capita amount. EÅective January 1, 2005, the Company will limit its future per capita maximum contribution to its calendar 2004 per capita contribution. Other Postretirement BeneÑts Including the eÅect of the October 1, 2002 plan amendment, a one-percentage point change in assumed health care cost trend rates would have the following eÅect (in millions): One-Percentage Point Increase 2002 2003 One-Percentage Point Decrease 2002 2003 Increase (decrease) to total of service and interest cost components ÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏ Increase (decrease) to postretirement beneÑt obligation ÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏ $ 1 11 $ 4 32 $(1) (9) $ (3) (26) Pension BeneÑts The projected beneÑt obligation, accumulated beneÑt obligation and fair value of plan assets for the pension plans with accumulated beneÑt obligations in excess of the fair value of plan assets (underfunded plans) were $1,734 million, $1,486 million and $1,063 million, respectively, as of the 2003 measurement date (June 30) and $1,325 million, $1,137 million and $961 million, respectively, as of the 2002 measurement date. DeÑned Contribution Savings Plans The Company also sponsors certain deÑned contribution savings plans for eligible employees. Expense related to these plans was $25 million for 2003, 2002 and 2001. 14. Special Charges In 2001, the Company recorded special charges of $91 million ($60 million after tax, or 32 cents per diluted share) for costs associated with the consolidation and closing of facilities, the realignment of administrative functions, the reduction of workforce, primarily in North America, by approximately 2,000 employees and asset impairments. The Company had completed these actions at September 30, 2002. Total cash expenditures in connection with these actions will approximate $50 million, and primarily relate to employee severance and separation costs. Substantially all had been spent as of September 30, 2003. In connection with the SpinoÅ, Rockwell Collins assumed a liability for employee severance and separation costs resulting from these actions of approximately $7 million. 51 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Ì (Continued) 14. Special Charges Ì (Continued) The special charges included write-downs to the carrying amount of goodwill, certain facilities and machinery and equipment totaling approximately $27 million resulting from the decision to shut down certain facilities and exit non-strategic operations. The charges represented the diÅerence between the fair values of the assets and their carrying values. Fair value was determined by management on the basis of various customary valuation techniques. The special charges are reÖected in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended September 30, 2001 in cost of sales in the amount of $50 million and selling, general and administrative expenses in the amount of $41 million. 15. Discontinued Operations The beneÑt of $7 million ($4 million after tax) in discontinued operations in 2003 reÖects income from a favorable determination in a legal proceeding related to the Company's former operation of the Rocky Flats facility of the Department of Energy. The net beneÑt of $3 million in discontinued operations in 2002 reÖects the resolution of certain obligations related to two discontinued businesses. Related payments of approximately $36 million were made in 2002, which have been reÖected as cash used by discontinued operations in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

Related Party Transactions The Company owns 50 percent of RSC. This ownership interest is accounted for using the equity method. The Company's investment in RSC of $54 million at September 30, 2003 and $50 million at September 30, 2002 is included in other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company has an agreement with RSC pursuant to which RSC performs research and development services for the Company through 2004. The Company is obligated to pay RSC a minimum of $3 million for such services in 2004. The Company incurred approximately $3 million for research and development services performed by RSC in 2003 and 2002. At September 30, 2003 and 2002, the amounts due to RSC for research and development services and from RSC for cost sharing arrangements were not signiÑcant. The Company shares equally with Rockwell Collins, which owns 50 percent of RSC, in providing a $4 million line of credit to RSC which bears interest at the greater of the Company's or Rockwell Collins' commercial paper borrowing rate. At September 30, 2003 and 2002, there were no outstanding borrowings on the line of credit. In addition, the Company and Rockwell Collins each guarantees one-half of a lease agreement for one of RSC's facilities. The total future minimum lease payments under the lease are approximately $6 million. The lease agreement has a term which ends in December 2011. The Company owns 25 percent of CoLinx, LLC (CoLinx), a company that provides logistics and e- commerce services. This ownership interest is accounted for using the equity method. The Company paid CoLinx approximately $15 million in 2003 and 2002, and $6 million in 2001, primarily for logistics services. In addition, CoLinx paid the Company approximately $2 million in 2003, $3 million in 2002, and $2 million in 52 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Ì (Continued) 16.

The resolution resulted in a $48 million reduction of the Company's income tax provision, of which $11 million is reÖected in tax refund claims in the current income tax provision and $37 million is reÖected in the United States deferred income tax provision. During 2001, the Company reached agreement with various taxing authorities on refund claims related to certain prior years and recorded $22 million as a reduction of its income tax provision.

Total deferred tax liabilities were $337 million at September 30, 2003 and $378 million at September 30, 2002. Management believes it is more likely than not that current and long-term deferred tax assets will be realized through the reduction of future taxable income. SigniÑcant factors considered by management in its determination of the probability of the realization of the deferred tax assets include: (a) the historical operating results of the Company ($404 million of United States taxable income over the past three years), (b) expectations of future earnings, and (c) the extended period of time over which the retiree medical liability will be paid. 54 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Ì (Continued) 18.

The ability to utilize the capital loss carryforwards was the result of the sale of a majority of the Company's ownership interest in REJ which took place in the second quarter of 2003.

Income Taxes Ì (Continued) The income tax provisions were calculated based upon the following components of income from continuing operations before income taxes and cumulative eÅect of accounting change (in millions): 2003 2002 2001 United States income ÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏ Non-United States income ÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏ $204 95 Total ÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏ $299 $184 49 $233 $ 87 81 $168 No provision has been made for United States, state, or additional non-United States income taxes related to approximately $200 million of undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries which have been or are intended to be permanently reinvested. In 2003, the Company adjusted its currency translation and deferred income taxes by approximately $25 million resulting from a decision made by the Company to permanently reinvest the earnings of certain of its foreign subsidiaries. It is not practical to determine the United States federal income tax liability, if any, which would be payable if such earnings were not permanently reinvested. Income taxes paid were $85 million during 2003, $37 million during 2002 and $213 million during 2001. Income taxes paid related to discontinued operations for 2001 were not signiÑcant. 19. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities Environmental Matters Federal, state and local requirements relating to the discharge of substances into the environment, the disposal of hazardous wastes and other activities aÅecting the environment have and will continue to have an eÅect on the manufacturing operations of the Company. Thus far, compliance with environmental require- ments and resolution of environmental claims has been accomplished without material eÅect on the Company's liquidity and capital resources, competitive position or Ñnancial condition. The Company has been designated as a potentially responsible party at 14 Superfund sites, excluding sites as to which the Company's records disclose no involvement or as to which the Company's potential liability has been Ñnally determined and assumed by third parties. Management estimates the total reasonably possible costs the Company could incur for the remediation of Superfund sites at September 30, 2003 to be about $17 million, of which $7 million has been accrued. Various other lawsuits, claims and proceedings have been asserted against the Company alleging violations of federal, state and local environmental protection requirements, or seeking remediation of alleged environmental impairments, principally at previously owned properties. As of September 30, 2003, manage- ment has estimated the total reasonably possible costs the Company could incur from these matters to be about $52 million. The Company has recorded environmental accruals for these matters of $21 million. In addition to the above matters, the Company assumed certain other environmental liabilities in connection with the 1995 acquisition of Reliance. The Company is indemniÑed by ExxonMobil Corporation (Exxon) for substantially all costs associated with these Reliance matters. At September 30, 2003, the Company has recorded a liability of approximately $26 million and a receivable of approximately $25 million for these Reliance matters. Management estimates the total reasonably possible costs for these matters to be approximately $37 million for which the Company is substantially indemniÑed by Exxon. Based on its assessment, management believes that the Company's expenditures for environmental capital investment and remediation necessary to comply with present regulations governing environmental protection and other expenditures for the resolution of environmental claims will not have a material adverse eÅect on the Company's liquidity and capital resources, competitive position or Ñnancial condition. Manage- ment cannot assess the possible eÅect of compliance with future requirements. 56 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Ì (Continued) 19. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities Ì (Continued) Purchase Commitments In connection with the sale of a Power Systems business in 2000, the Company entered into a supply agreement with the buyer of the business. The agreement requires minimum purchases by the Company of approximately $21 million per year through December 31, 2005 at prices which management believes are higher than those available from other vendors. In the event that purchases are less than $21 million in a given year, the Company may incur penalties which are 25 percent of the amount by which the actual purchases were less than the contractual minimum for the period. Penalties paid by the Company under the terms of the supply agreement were approximately $2 million in 2003 and approximately $1 million in 2002. The liability recorded in connection with the supply agreement was approximately $3 million at September 30, 2003 and approximately $6 million at September 30, 2002. See Note 16 for a discussion on the Company's commitments to related parties. Lease Commitments Minimum future rental commitments under operating leases having noncancelable lease terms in excess of one year aggregated $214 million as of September 30, 2003 and are payable as follows (in millions): 2004, $48; 2005, $38; 2006, $29; 2007, $25; 2008, $17; and after 2008, $57. Commitments from third parties under sublease agreements having noncancelable lease terms in excess of one year aggregated $22 million as of September 30, 2003 and are receivable through 2009 at approximately $4 million per year. Most leases contain renewal options for varying periods, and certain leases include options to purchase the leased property during or at the end of the lease term. Rental expense was $83 million in 2003, $84 million in 2002, and $86 million in 2001. Other Matters Various lawsuits, claims and proceedings have been or may be instituted or asserted against the Company relating to the conduct of its business, including those pertaining to product liability, intellectual property, safety and health, employment and contract matters. In connection with the divestiture of its former aerospace and defense businesses (the A&D Business) to The Boeing Company (Boeing), Rockwell Automation agreed to indemnify Boeing for certain matters related to operations of the A&D Business for periods prior to the divestiture. In connection with the spinoÅs of the Company's former automotive component systems business, semiconductor systems business and Rockwell Collins avionics and communications business, the spun-oÅ companies have agreed to indemnify Rockwell Automation for substantially all contingent liabilities related to the respective businesses, including environmental and intellectual property matters. Although the outcome of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty and some lawsuits, claims, or proceedings may be disposed of unfavorably to the Company, management believes the disposition of matters which are pending or asserted will not have a material adverse eÅect on the Company's business or Ñnancial condition. The Company has, from time to time, divested certain of its businesses. In connection with such divestitures, there may be lawsuits, claims and proceedings instituted or asserted against the Company related to the period that the businesses were owned by the Company. In addition, the Company has guaranteed performance and payment under certain contracts of divested businesses, including a $60 million lease obligation of the Company's former semiconductor systems business, now Conexant Systems, Inc. (Conex- ant). The lease obligation of Conexant is secured by real property subject to the lease and is within a range of estimated fair values of the real property. In consideration for this guarantee, the Company receives $250,000 per quarter from Conexant through December 31, 2003. The guarantee expires in 2005. Management believes that any judgments against the Company related to such matters or claims pursuant to the guarantees would not have a material adverse eÅect on the Company's business or Ñnancial condition. 57 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Ì (Continued) 20.

EÅective October 1, 2001, the Company adopted SFAS 142. As a result of adopting SFAS 142, the Company no longer amortizes goodwill and certain other intangible assets that have been deemed to have an indeÑnite useful life. The amortization of goodwill and the intangible assets that have been deemed to have an indeÑnite useful life was $56 million in 2001. Among other considerations, the Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based upon segment operating earnings before income taxes, interest expense, costs related to corporate oÇces, nonrecurring special charges, gains and losses from the disposition of businesses, earnings and losses from equity aÇliates which are not considered part of the operations of a particular segment and incremental acquisition related expenses resulting from purchase accounting adjustments such as goodwill and other intangible asset amortization, depreciation, inventory and purchased research and development charges. Intersegment sales are made at market prices. The accounting policies used in preparing the segment information are consistent with those described in Note 1. Special charges are discussed in Note 14. 59 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Ì (Continued) 20.

Our audits also included the Ñnancial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a)(2). These Ñnancial statements and Ñnancial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these Ñnancial statements and Ñnancial statement schedule based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Ñnancial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the Ñnancial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and signiÑcant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall Ñnancial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, such consolidated Ñnancial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the Ñnancial position of Rockwell Automation, Inc. and subsidiaries at September 30, 2003 and 2002, and the results of their operations and their cash Öows for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 2003, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such Ñnancial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated Ñnancial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein. As described in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, on October 1, 2001, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, ""Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.'' DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP Milwaukee, Wisconsin November 5, 2003 63 Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure. None. Item 9A. Controls and Procedures. The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including its Chief Executive OÇcer and Chief Financial OÇcer, of the eÅective- ness, as of September 30, 2003, of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive OÇcer and Chief Financial OÇcer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are eÅective as of the end of the year ended September 30, 2003 to timely alert them to material information relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in the Company's Exchange Act Ñlings. There have been no changes in the Company's internal control over Ñnancial reporting during the Ñscal quarter ended September 30, 2003 that have materially aÅected, or are reasonably likely to materially aÅect, the Company's internal control over Ñnancial reporting.
