NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1.	Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies
	In the opinion of management of Rockwell Automation, Inc. (the Company or Rockwell Automation), the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments, consisting solely of adjustments of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. These statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006 and the updates to certain sections thereof contained in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 27, 2007. The results of operations for the three- and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. All date references to years and quarters herein refer to our fiscal year and fiscal quarter unless otherwise stated.
	On January 31, 2007, we completed the divestiture of our Dodge mechanical and Reliance Electric motors and motor repair services businesses to Baldor Electric Company (Baldor). These were the principal businesses of our former Power Systems operating segment. These businesses are reported as a discontinued operation in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for all periods presented.
	In March 2006, we sold the assets of our ElectroCraft Engineered Solutions (ElectroCraft) business. ElectroCraft is reported as a discontinued operation in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for all periods presented.
	Effective October 1, 2006, we realigned our internal management reporting structure. As a result of this realignment, we now report our historical Control Systems operating segment as two operating segments: Architecture & Software and Control Products & Solutions. Additionally, the drives and drives related parts and services business from our former Power Systems operating segment was also realigned to report through the Control Products & Solutions segment. We no longer report our former Power Systems operating segment as a continuing operation as a result of the sale of this segment’s principal businesses on January 31, 2007.
	Cash and Cash Equivalents
	Cash and cash equivalents include time deposits, certificates of deposit and commercial paper with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase.
	Receivables
	Receivables are stated net of allowances for doubtful accounts of $11.8 million at June 30, 2007 and $11.2 million at September 30, 2006. In addition, receivables are stated net of an allowance for certain customer returns, rebates and incentives of $11.9 million at June 30, 2007 and $8.5 million at September 30, 2006.
	Income Taxes
	At the end of each interim reporting period, we estimate a base effective tax rate, which is the effective tax rate that we expect for the full fiscal year based on our most recent forecast of pretax income, permanent book and tax differences and global tax planning strategies. We use this base rate to provide for income taxes on a year-to-date basis, excluding the effect of significant unusual or extraordinary items or items that are reported net of their related tax effects. We recognize the tax effect of significant unusual or extraordinary items or items that are reported net of their related tax effects in the period in which they occur.

1.	Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies – (Continued)
	Earnings Per Share
	We present basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) amounts. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted EPS amounts are based upon the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the applicable period. The difference between basic and diluted EPS is attributable to share-based compensation awards. We use the treasury stock method to calculate the effect of outstanding share-based compensation awards, which requires us to compute total employee proceeds as the sum of (a) the amount the employee must pay upon exercise of the award, (b) the amount of unearned share-based compensation costs attributed to future services and (c) the amount of tax benefits, if any, that would be credited to additional paid-in capital assuming exercise of the award. Share-based compensation awards for which the total employee proceeds exceed the average market price over the applicable period have an antidilutive effect on EPS, and accordingly, we exclude them from the calculation of diluted EPS. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2007, share-based compensation awards of 1.3 million and 1.6 million shares, respectively, were excluded from the diluted EPS calculation because they were antidilutive. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2006, share-based compensation awards of 0.1 million and 0.9 million shares, respectively, were excluded from the diluted EPS calculation because they were antidilutive.
	The following table reconciles basic weighted average outstanding shares to diluted weighted average outstanding shares (in millions):

	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	June 30,				June 30,
	2007		2006		2007		2006
Weighted average outstanding shares
Basic weighted average outstanding shares		154.0		176.6		161.3		177.5
Effect of dilutive securities
Stock options		2.4		3.1		2.5		3.3
Restricted stock		0.1		0.1		0.1		0.1
Diluted weighted average outstanding shares		156.5		179.8		163.9		180.9

Non-Cash Financing Activities

During the quarter ended June 30, 2007, we repurchased 75,000 shares of our common stock for $5.1 million that did not settle until July 2007. In September 2006, we repurchased 359,200 shares of our common stock for $20.6 million that did not settle until October 2006. These outstanding purchases were recorded in accounts payable at June 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006.

Classification of Cash Flows Arising from Discontinued Operations

Operating, investing and financing cash flows of our discontinued operations are presented separately in our statement of cash flows. Cash flows from the operating activities of our discontinued operations are reported in our statement of cash flows net of their separately calculated income tax effects.

U.S. Federal and state taxes paid that are directly attributable to the gain on the sale of the principal businesses of our former Power Systems operating segment are classified on our statement of cash flows as a cash outflow within cash provided by continuing operating activities, consistent with the classification of the related cash proceeds included within cash provided by continuing investing activities on our statement of cash flows.

1.	Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies – (Continued)
	Recent Accounting Pronouncements
	In June 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) ratified Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 06-11,Accounting for Income Tax Benefits of Dividends on Share-Based Payment Awards(EITF 06-11). EITF 06-11 specifies how companies should recognize the income tax benefit received on dividends that are (a) paid to employees holding equity-classified nonvested shares, equity-classified nonvested share units, or equity-classified outstanding share options and (b) charged to retained earnings under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 123(R),Share-Based Payment(SFAS 123(R)). EITF 06-11 is effective for us beginning in 2009. We do not believe EITF 06-11 will have a material effect on our financial statements and related disclosures.
	In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159,The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities(SFAS 159). SFAS 159 permits companies to choose to measure at fair value many financial instruments and certain other items that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. SFAS 159 is effective for us beginning in 2009. We do not believe SFAS 159 will have a material effect on our financial statements and related disclosures.
	In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158,Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans — An Amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132R(SFAS 158). SFAS 158 requires companies to recognize the funded status of pension and other postretirement benefit plans on sponsoring employers’ balance sheets and to recognize changes in the funded status in the year the changes occur. It also requires the measurement date of plan assets and obligations to occur at the end of the employers’ fiscal year. SFAS 158 is effective for us at the end of fiscal 2007, except for the change in measurement date, which is effective for us in 2009. Based on the funded status of our pension and postretirement benefit plans as reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K dated September 30, 2006, we would have recorded approximately a 15 percent decrease in shareowners’ equity had SFAS 158 been effective at that date. It is unlikely that FAS 158 will affect our results of operations, our loan covenant compliance or our other financial arrangements. The ultimate effect on our financial statements upon adoption will depend upon the discount rate at our fiscal 2007 measurement date (June 30, 2007) and actual returns on our pension plan assets during the year.
	In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes(FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109,Accounting for Income Taxes.FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. In May 2007, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48-1,Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation No. 48(FIN 48-1). FIN 48-1 provides guidance on how companies should determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits. FIN 48 and FIN 48-1 will be effective for us beginning in 2008. We are evaluating the interpretations to determine the effect on our financial statements and related disclosures.

2.	Share-Based Compensation
	Effective October 1, 2005, we adopted SFAS 123(R), using the modified prospective application transition method. Before we adopted SFAS 123(R), we accounted for share-based compensation in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. We recognized $7.9 million and $22.6 million in share-based compensation expense in income from continuing operations before income taxes during the three- and nine-months ended June 30, 2007, respectively. We recognized $6.5 million and $19.0 million in share-based compensation expense in income from continuing operations before income taxes during the three- and nine-months ended June 30, 2006, respectively.
	Our annual grant of share-based compensation generally takes place during the first quarter of each fiscal year. The number of shares granted to all employees and the weighted average fair value per share during the periods presented was (in thousands except per share amounts):

	Nine Months Ended June 30,

3.	Acquisitions
	In February 2007, our Control Products & Solutions segment acquired ProsCon Holdings Ltd., a process solutions systems integrator headquartered in Ireland. Its areas of expertise include process technology and control systems and information technology, and it serves customers primarily in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries.
	In January 2006, our Control Products & Solutions segment acquired Caribbean Integration Engineers, Inc. (CIE). CIE offers engineering services in control systems integration, process automation, computer system validation and IT solutions. In December 2005, our Architecture & Software segment acquired Datasweep, Inc., a provider of production management software.
	The results of operations of these businesses have been included in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations since the dates of acquisition. Pro forma financial information and allocation of the purchase price is not presented as the effects of these acquisitions are not material to our results of operations and financial position.

Subtotal		755.7			748.2
Less current portion		(346.7	)		—
Long-term debt	$	409.0		$	748.2

We issued an aggregate of $800 million principal amount of our 6.15% notes, 6.70% debentures and 5.20% debentures in January 1998. The debt offering yielded approximately $750.0 million of proceeds. We issued the 5.20% debentures at a discount, and the 6.15% notes and 6.70% debentures at par.

In September 2002, we entered into an interest rate swap contract (the Swap) that effectively converted our $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.15% notes, payable in 2008, to floating rate debt based on six-month LIBOR. The floating rate was 7.79 percent at June 30, 2007 and 8.02 percent at September 30, 2006. As permitted by SFAS No. 133,Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities(SFAS 133), as amended, we have designated the Swap as a fair value hedge. Accordingly, the fair value of the Swap was recorded in other liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet with a corresponding adjustment to the carrying value of the underlying debt at June 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006. The fair value of the Swap, based upon quoted market prices for contracts with similar maturities, was a liability of $3.3 million at June 30, 2007 and a liability of $6.8 million at September 30, 2006.

On October 26, 2004, we entered into a five-year $600.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility. Our $600.0 million credit facility remains in effect and we have not drawn down under it at June 30, 2007 or September 30, 2006. Borrowings under our credit facility bear interest based on short-term money market rates in effect during the period the borrowings are outstanding. The terms of our credit facility contain covenants under which we would be in default if our debt-to-total-capital ratio was to exceed 60 percent. We were in compliance with all covenants under our credit facility at June 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006. In addition to our $600.0 million credit facility, short-term unsecured credit facilities of approximately $124.6 million at June 30, 2007 were available to foreign subsidiaries.

On September 29, 2006, we entered into a 364-day $250.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility. We terminated this facility effective March 30, 2007, as we no longer considered the liquidity provided by this facility to be necessary.

There were no significant commitment fees or compensating balance requirements under any of our credit facilities. Borrowings under our credit facilities during the three- and nine-months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 were not significant.

Our short-term debt obligations primarily relate to commercial paper borrowings. Commercial paper borrowings outstanding were $49.0 million at June 30, 2007 and $219.0 million at September 30, 2006. At June 30, 2007 the weighted average interest rate and maturity period of the commercial paper outstanding were 5.5 percent and three days, respectively. At September 30, 2006 the weighted average interest rate and maturity period of the commercial paper outstanding were 5.4 percent and three days, respectively.

Excluded from this net periodic benefit cost table but included in (loss) income from discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations are pre-tax pension benefit cost of $3.0 million and pre-tax other postretirement benefit cost of $4.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. Excluded from this net periodic benefit cost table but included in (loss) income from discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations are pre-tax pension benefit cost of $3.3 million and $9.1 million and pre-tax other postretirement benefit cost of $4.7 million and $12.5 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006, respectively. Also in the nine months ended June 30, 2007, we recognized a pension curtailment loss of $0.4 million, an other postretirement benefits curtailment gain of $45.2 million and an additional other postretirement benefits settlement gain of $11.4 million related to the sale of our Dodge mechanical and Reliance Electric motors and motor repair services businesses that is reflected in (loss) income from discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. We retained the pension liability related to the eligible Power Systems participants in our U.S. Plan and Canada Salary Plan and the other postretirement benefit liability for eligible U.S. non-union and Canada Salary retirees after the date of sale of our Dodge mechanical and Reliance Electric motors and motor repair services businesses, which will result in ongoing net periodic benefit cost for us. Pension liabilities for our Canada Hourly Plan and Mexico Dodge Plan, as well as other postretirement liabilities, including for U.S. union active and retiree participants, have been transferred with these businesses.

In the first nine months of 2007 and 2006, we made a voluntary contribution of $8.0 million and $450.0 million, respectively, to our U.S. qualified pension plan trust, which increased our prepaid pension asset in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. We made both the 2007 and 2006 contributions in the first quarter. We do not anticipate making any significant voluntary contributions to our pension plans during the remainder of 2007. We expect to continue making ongoing required contributions to our foreign pension plans of approximately $5-10 million per quarter.

The investment is recorded in other current assets as an available-for-sale security, with a fair value at June 30, 2007 of $77.8 million. Under the terms of our agreement with Baldor, we are generally not permitted to publicly sell or distribute this investment before July 31, 2007.
��
12.	Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
	Various lawsuits, claims and proceedings have been or may be instituted or asserted against us relating to the conduct of our business, including those pertaining to product liability, 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 us, we believe the disposition of matters that are pending or have been asserted will not have a material adverse effect on our business or financial condition.
	We (including our subsidiaries) have been named as a defendant in lawsuits alleging personal injury as a result of exposure to asbestos that was used in certain components of our products many years ago. Currently there are thousands of claimants in lawsuits that name us as defendants, together with hundreds of other companies. The great bulk of the complaints, however, do not identify any of our products or specify which of these claimants, if any, were exposed to asbestos attributable to our products; and past experience has shown that the vast majority of the claimants will never identify any of our products. In addition, when our products appear to be identified, in some cases they are from divested businesses, and we are indemnified for most of the costs. However, we have agreed to defend and indemnify asbestos claims associated with products manufactured or sold by our Dodge mechanical and Reliance Electric motors and motor repair services businesses prior to their divestiture by us, which occurred on January 31, 2007. But in all cases, for those claimants who do show that they worked with our products, we nevertheless believe we have meritorious defenses, in substantial part due to the integrity of our products, the encapsulated nature of any asbestos-containing components, and the lack of any impairing medical condition on the part of many claimants. We defend those cases vigorously. Historically, we have been dismissed from the vast majority of these claims with no payment to claimants.

12.	Commitments and Contingent Liabilities – (Continued)
	We have maintained insurance coverage that we believe covers indemnity and defense costs, over and above self-insured retentions, for most of these claims. We initiated litigation in the Milwaukee County Circuit Court on February 12, 2004 to enforce the insurance policies against Nationwide Indemnity Company and Kemper Insurance, the insurance carriers that provided liability insurance coverage to our former Allen-Bradley subsidiary. As a result, the insurance carriers have paid some past defense and indemnity costs and have agreed to pay the substantial majority of future defense and indemnity costs for Allen-Bradley asbestos claims, subject to policy limits. If either carrier becomes insolvent or the policy limits of either carrier are exhausted, our share of future defense and indemnity costs may increase. However, coverage under excess policies may be available to pay some or all of these costs.
	The uncertainties of asbestos claim litigation and the long term solvency of our insurance carriers make it difficult to predict accurately the ultimate outcome of asbestos claims. That uncertainty is increased by the possibility of adverse rulings or new legislation affecting asbestos claim litigation or the settlement process. Subject to these uncertainties and based on our experience defending asbestos claims, we do not believe these lawsuits will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.
	In connection with the divestiture of our former aerospace and defense businesses (the A&D Business) to The Boeing Company (Boeing), we 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 spinoffs of our former automotive component systems business, semiconductor systems business and Rockwell Collins avionics and communications business, the spun-off companies have agreed to indemnify us for substantially all contingent liabilities related to the respective businesses, including environmental and intellectual property matters.
	In conjunction with the sale of our Dodge mechanical and Reliance Electric motors and motor repair services businesses, we agreed to indemnify Baldor for damages related to certain legal, legacy environmental and asbestos matters of these businesses arising prior to January 31, 2007. We estimate the potential future payments we could incur under these indemnifications may approximate $32.5 million, of which $27.1 million has been accrued as of June 30, 2007.
	We have, from time to time, divested certain of our businesses. In connection with such divestitures, lawsuits, claims and proceedings may be instituted or asserted against us related to the period that we owned the businesses.
	In many countries we provide a limited intellectual property indemnity as part of our terms and conditions of sale. We also at times provide limited intellectual property indemnities in other contracts with third parties, such as contracts concerning: the development and manufacture of our products; the divestiture of businesses; and the licensing of intellectual property. Due to the number of agreements containing such provisions, we are unable to estimate the maximum potential future payments. However, we believe that future payments, if any, would not be material to our business or financial condition.
	Environmental Matters
	During the second quarter of 2007, we increased our environmental accruals by $13.7 million ($8.5 million after tax or $0.05 per diluted share) as a result of an anticipated legal settlement and changes in estimated remediation costs at three sites as a result of new information. As of June 30, 2007, we have recorded accruals for environmental matters of $69.0 million, of which $26.7 million relates to conditional asset retirement obligations.

14.	Income Taxes
	The base tax rate determined as provided underIncome Taxesin Note 1 (which excludes the effect of significant unusual or extraordinary items or items that are reported net of their related tax effects) for the full year is estimated at approximately 31 percent based on our current forecast of pretax income, permanent book and tax differences and global tax planning strategies for our continuing operations. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2007 was 26 percent which is lower than the base tax rate as it includes discrete benefits from the resolution of various state tax audit matters and the closure of our U.S. Federal audit for 2005.
	The tax rate applied to our discontinued operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2007 was approximately 39 percent. This rate reflects that most of the taxable income from discontinued operations is generated in higher tax jurisdictions. The income tax benefit of $264.0 million recognized in the first quarter of 2007 represents a deferred tax asset on the difference between our tax basis in the stock of the Power Systems subsidiaries that were sold and the book value of their net assets as well as the reversal of the deferred tax liabilities that will not be realized due to the stock sale. In accordance with the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 93-17,Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for a Parent Company’s Excess Tax Basis in the Stock of a Subsidiary that Is Accounted for as a Discontinued Operation, the tax benefit is recognized upon classification of the subsidiaries as a discontinued operation, which occurred in our first quarter of 2007.

Among other considerations, we evaluate performance and allocate resources based upon segment operating earnings before income taxes, interest expense, costs related to corporate offices, certain nonrecurring corporate initiatives, gains and losses from the disposition of businesses, earnings and losses from equity affiliates that are not considered part of the operations of a particular segment and incremental acquisition related expenses resulting from purchase accounting adjustments such as intangible asset amortization, depreciation, inventory and purchased research and development charges. Costs incurred related to shared segment operating activities are allocated to the segments using a methodology consistent with the expected benefit.

	Identifiable assets at Corporate consist principally of cash, net deferred income tax assets, prepaid pension and property. Property shared by the segments and used in operating activities is also reported in Corporate identifiable assets. Corporate identifiable assets include shared net property balances of $160.5 million at June 30, 2007 and $144.4 million at September 30, 2006 for which depreciation expense has been allocated to segment operating earnings based on the expected benefit to be realized by each segment.
16.	Special Charges
	During the second quarter of 2007, we recorded special charges of $43.5 million ($27.7 million after tax or $0.17 per diluted share) related to various restructuring actions designed to execute on our cost productivity initiatives and to advance our globalization strategy. Actions include workforce reductions, realignment of administrative functions, and rationalization and consolidation of global operations. In the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations, $21.8 million of the special charges were recorded in cost of sales, while $21.7 million was recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses.
	We expect total cash expenditures associated with these actions to approximate $39.0 million, of which we paid $3.3 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2007. Non-cash charges include write-downs of certain inventory, machinery and equipment totaling $4.5 million. The asset charges amounted to the full carrying value of the assets written down, as we do not expect to receive any recovery from these assets.
17.	Subsequent Event
	On July 2, 2007, our Control Products & Solutions segment completed the acquisition of Industrial Control Services Group Limited, which does business as ICS Triplex. ICS Triplex, headquartered in the United Kingdom, is a leading global supplier of critical control and safety solutions to process industries. It develops, delivers and maintains advanced products and solutions for high availability, fault-tolerant applications in process industry segments worldwide. It serves primarily the oil and gas, production, transportation, refining, chemicals and power generation industries. We have substantially paid the purchase price of 110.1 million British pounds, approximately $221 million, in cash. We expect to make the remaining payments by the end of our 2007 fiscal year.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareowners of
Rockwell Automation, Inc.
Milwaukee, Wisconsin:

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Rockwell Automation, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2007, and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to such condensed consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of September 30, 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareowners’ equity, cash flows and comprehensive income for the year then ended included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on November 9, 2006 prior to reclassification for the discontinued operations described in Note 13 to the accompanying condensed financial statements (not presented herein); and in our report dated November 9, 2006, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. We also audited the adjustments described in Note 13 that were applied to reclassify the September 30, 2006 consolidated balance sheet of the Company (not presented herein) for discontinued operations. In our opinion, such adjustments are appropriate and have been properly applied to the previously issued consolidated balance sheet in deriving the accompanying retrospectively adjusted condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2006. We also audited the consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2006 (not presented herein), after giving effect to the reclassification for discontinued operations and change in reportable segments, included in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 27, 2007.

As discussed in Note 1 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company changed its reportable segments in October 2006. As described in Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, on October 1, 2005, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment.”

Overview

     We are a leading global provider of industrial automation power, control and information products and services. Overall demand for our products is driven by:

• investments in manufacturing capacity, including upgrades, modifications, and expansions of existing manufacturing facilities, and the creation of new manufacturing facilities;

• our customers’ needs for greater productivity, cost reduction, quality, and overall global competitiveness;

• industry factors that include our customers’ new product introductions, trends in the actual and forecasted demand for our customers’ products or services, and the regulatory and competitive environments in which our customers operate;

• levels of global industrial production;

• regional factors that include local political, social, regulatory and economic circumstances; and

• the seasonal capital spending patterns of our customers due to their annual capital budgeting processes and their working schedules.

     On January 31, 2007, we completed the divestiture of our Dodge mechanical and Reliance Electric motors and motor repair services businesses. These were the principal businesses of our former Power Systems operating segment. We sold these businesses to Baldor Electric Company (Baldor) for $1.8 billion, comprised of $1.75 billion in cash and approximately 1.6 million shares of Baldor common stock. During the nine months ended June 30, 2007, we reported an after-tax gain on the sale of $866.5 million ($5.29 per diluted share). The results of operations and gain on sale of these businesses are reported in income from discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for all periods presented. Assets and liabilities sold are classified as assets available for sale and liabilities associated with assets available for sale in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2006.

     In March 2006, we sold the assets of our ElectroCraft Engineered Solutions (ElectroCraft) business. Accordingly, we reflect the results of this business as a discontinued operation for all periods presented.

     Effective October 1, 2006, we realigned our internal management reporting structure. As a result of this realignment, we now report our historical Control Systems operating segment as two operating segments: Architecture & Software and Control Products & Solutions. Additionally, the drives and drives related parts and services business from our former Power Systems operating segment was also realigned to report through Control Products & Solutions. See Note 15 in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about our operating segments.

U.S. Industrial Economic Trends

     In the third quarter of 2007, sales to U.S. customers accounted for approximately 54 percent of our total sales. The various indicators we use to gauge the direction and momentum of our served markets in the U.S. include:

• Industrial Equipment Spending, which is an economic statistic compiled by the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA). This statistic provides insight into spending trends in the broad U.S. industrial economy, which includes our primary customer base. This measure, over the longer term, has proven to have reasonable predictive value, and to be a good directional indicator of our growth trend.

• Capacity Utilization, which is an indication of plant operating activity published by the Federal Reserve. Historically there has been a meaningful correlation between Capacity Utilization and the level of capital investment made by our customers in their manufacturing base.

• The Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI), published by the Institute for Supply Management (ISM), which is an indication of the level of manufacturing activity in the U.S. 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.

     The table below depicts the continued gradual improvement in U.S. Industrial Equipment Spending. Capacity Utilization has remained above 80 percent since December 2005 while the PMI has sustained a rate over 50.

Non-U.S. Regional Trends

     Outside the U.S., demand is principally driven by the strength of the industrial economy in each region and by our customers’ ability and propensity to invest in their manufacturing assets. These customers may include both multinational companies with expanding global presence and indigenous companies. Recent strength in demand has, in part, been driven by investment in infrastructure in developing economies, in basic materials production capacity in response to higher end-product pricing and in expanding consumer markets. We expect strong demand in Latin America, Europe and the emerging economies in Asia Pacific to continue during the remainder of 2007.

Industry Views

     We serve customers in a wide range of industries, including consumer products, transportation, basic materials, and oil and gas.

     Our consumer products customers are engaged in the food and beverage; home and personal care; and life sciences industries. These customers’ needs include global expansion, incremental capacity from existing facilities, an increasingly flexible manufacturing environment and regulatory compliance. In addition, these customers operate in an environment where product innovation and time to market are critical factors. As a result, consumer products customers’ capital investments are generally less cyclical than those of heavy manufacturing customers.

     In transportation, factors such as plant closings, customer investment in new model introductions and more flexible manufacturing technologies affect our sales. While our global automotive revenue was flat in 2006, our historic North American automotive customers experienced a significant slowdown during the second half of 2006 and the first half of 2007. This had a negative impact on sales and operating earnings primarily in our Architecture & Software segment, related to sales of our Logix and PLC products.

     Our customers in basic materials industries, including mining, aggregates, metals, forest products and cement, all benefit from higher commodity prices and higher global demand for basic materials, both of which encourage investment in capacity and productivity in these industries.

     As energy prices rise, customers in the oil and gas industry increase their investment in production and transmission capacity. In addition, higher energy prices have historically caused customers across all industries to consider investing in more energy-efficient manufacturing processes and technologies, such as intelligent motor controls.

Outlook for 2007

     The following is a summary of our key objectives for 2007:

• Successfully complete the divestiture of the principal businesses of our former Power Systems operating segment;

• Execute our cost productivity initiatives;

• Continue our globalization efforts with a particular focus on emerging markets; and

• Sustain the growth of our integrated control and information architecture by accelerating the proliferation and adoption rate, enhancing features and functionality, aggressively pursuing growth in an expanded addressable market and enhancing our market access.

     We made progress toward each of these objectives during the first three quarters of 2007. We successfully completed the divestiture of our former Power Systems business on January 31, 2007.

     During the second quarter, we recognized a $43.5 million ($27.7 million after tax or $0.17 per diluted share) charge for various restructuring actions designed to execute on our cost productivity initiatives and to advance our globalization strategy. These actions include workforce reductions, realignment of administrative functions and rationalization and consolidation of our global operations. See Note 16 in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

     During the third quarter, revenue was in line with our expectations across all regions, and earnings were better than anticipated. We are diversifying our revenue base by driving more growth from consumer industries, emerging economies and the continued adoption of our Integrated Architecture^TM. During the year, we successfully completed the acquisitions of Industrial Control Services Group Limited, which does business as ICS Triplex, and ProsCon Holdings Ltd. These acquisitions enable us to expand our global presence and enhance our market access in the oil and gas and life sciences industries.

ROCKWELL AUTOMATION, INC.

Outlook for 2007 — (Continued)

     Our current outlook for the remainder of 2007 anticipates a gradually expanding global industrial economy across most end markets. We remain intensely focused on generating above-market organic revenue growth. The actual growth reported in any particular quarter may outperform or lag that trend. This oscillation of performance around a trend is attributed to the inherent variability in our business with short lead times and minimal backlog in our non-project businesses. Extrapolation of growth rates or levels of profitability from any one quarter can lead to incorrect conclusions about future performance. In particular, we typically experience seasonality of our customers’ capital spending in our second fiscal quarter. This can result in lower daily sales volume and less profitable revenue mix when compared sequentially to our first quarter.

     On July 25, 2007, we updated our 2007 outlook to reflect both our performance in the quarter ended June 30, 2007 and the effect of the recent ICS Triplex acquisition. As of the date of this report, we expect revenue growth of 10 percent. As of the date of this report, we now expect full year diluted earnings per share from continuing operations to be $3.48 to $3.53 for 2007. Previous guidance was $3.38 to $3.48 per share. Full year guidance includes special charges of $43.5 million ($27.7 million after tax, or $0.17 per share) recognized in the second quarter of 2007. Free cash flow from continuing operations for the full year is expected to approximate $500 million. We also expect our full year effective tax rate for continuing operations to be 28 to 29 percent.

ROCKWELL AUTOMATION, INC.

2007 Third Quarter Compared to 2006 Third Quarter — (Continued)

  General Corporate-Net

     General corporate expenses were $17.6 million in the third quarter of 2007 compared to $21.2 million in the third quarter of 2006. The decrease is primarily due to interest income on the remaining proceeds from the Power Systems sale.

  Interest Expense

     Interest expense was $13.8 million in both the third quarter of 2007 and the third quarter of 2006. Higher rates on our interest rate swap (see Note 9 in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements) were completely offset by the reduction of interest related to lower commercial paper borrowings during the quarter.

  Income Taxes

     The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2007 was 26 percent compared to 31 percent in the third quarter of 2006. The effective tax rate in the third quarter was lower than the statutory rate of 35 percent due to the effect of the resolution of various prior year federal and state tax matters and lower non-U.S. tax rates.

  Income from Continuing Operations

     Income from continuing operations increased 36 percent to $167.5, compared to the third quarter of 2006. The increase is primarily due to increased sales, higher operating margins, increased interest income and a lower effective tax rate. Operating margins were higher primarily due to productivity efforts and price increases, partially offset by inflation and product mix.

  Discontinued Operations

     Discontinued operations resulted in a loss of $3.3 million in the third quarter of 2007 compared to income of $25.6 million in the third quarter of 2006. Total amounts reported for discontinued operations in 2006 relate to the net income from operating activities of our former Power Systems operating segment. The loss in 2007 relates to certain legal matters associated with the former Rockwell International Corporation’s former operation of the Rocky Flats facility for the U.S. Department of Energy and a working capital adjustment associated with the Power Systems sale price. See also Note 13 in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on discontinued operations.

  Sales

     Sales by the Architecture & Software operating segment increased 11 percent in the third quarter of 2007 compared to the third quarter of 2006. The effect of currency exchange rates contributed 3 percentage points to the growth rate. Our Logix platform business grew by 15 percent during the quarter, led by strength in process applications and the CompactLogix product offering.

  Operating Margin

     Operating margin increased by 2.9 points compared to the prior year. Profitability benefited from volume, productivity efforts and price increases, partially offset by inflation.

   Sales

     Sales of our Control Products & Solutions operating segment increased 8 percent in the third quarter of 2007 compared to the third quarter of 2006. Two percentage points of the growth were due to the effect of currency exchange rates.

  Operating Margin

     Operating margin increased by 1.2 points and benefited from productivity efforts and price increases, partially offset by inflation and product mix.

ROCKWELL AUTOMATION, INC.

Nine Months Ended June 30, 2007 Compared to Nine Months Ended June 30, 2006– (Continued)

  Sales

     Sales increased 8 percent in the first nine months of 2007 compared to the first nine months of 2006. Excluding the effect of changes in currency exchange rates, sales increased by 6 percent. Sales in the United States for the first nine months of 2007 increased 2 percent compared to the first nine months of 2006. Strong sales growth continued in Europe and Latin America, which reported growth rates of 18 percent and 19 percent, respectively, excluding the effect of foreign exchange rates. Weak results occurred in Asia Pacific and Canada; Asia Pacific sales grew by 6 percent excluding the effect of currency exchange rates, while Canada reported a decline in growth of 1 percent excluding the effect of currency exchange rates. Sales into resource-based industries grew at greater than the average growth rate while sales into consumer industries grew at about our average growth rate. Sales to the global automotive industry were down due to weakness in our important Detroit customer base.

  General Corporate – Net

     General corporate expenses were $50.6 million in the first nine months of 2007 compared to $67.5 million in 2006. The decrease is primarily due to interest income on the proceeds of the Power Systems sale. Expenses during the first nine months of 2007 also include a charge of $13.2 million related to environmental remediation costs at legacy company sites, partially offset by a $12.1 million dividend related to an equity investment acquired in connection with the divestiture of our FirstPoint Contact business.

  Special Charges

     Special charges of $43.5 million include costs related to various restructuring actions designed to execute on our cost productivity initiatives and to advance our globalization strategy. Actions include workforce reductions, realignment of administrative functions, and rationalization and consolidation of global operations. We expect total cash expenditures to approximate $39.0 million in connection with these actions, of which $3.3 million were incurred in the first nine months of 2007. Non-cash special charges include write-downs of certain inventory, machinery and equipment totaling $4.5 million.

  Interest Expense

     Interest expense was $48.5 million in the first nine months of 2007 compared to $40.9 million in the first nine months of 2006. The increase was due to higher average commercial paper borrowings in the first nine months of 2007 as well as higher interest rates associated with our interest rate swap (see Note 9 in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

  Income Taxes

     The effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2007 was 27 percent compared to 30 percent in the first nine months of 2006. The effective tax rate in 2007 is lower than the statutory tax rate of 35 percent as a result of the resolution of various prior year federal and state tax matters and lower non-U.S tax rates.

  Income from Continuing Operations

     Income from continuing operations in the first nine months of 2007 increased 9 percent from the first nine months of 2006. The increase is due primarily to increased sales and operating margins, increased dividend and interest income and a lower effective tax rate, partially offset by special charges, additional environmental charges and higher interest expense.

Nine Months Ended June 30, 2007 Compared to Nine Months Ended June 30, 2006– (Continued)

  Discontinued Operations

     Total amounts reported for discontinued operations primarily relate to the results of our former Power Systems operating segment and the gain on sale of Power Systems. Net income on operating activities of Power Systems was $42.3 million in the first nine months of 2007 and $73.4 million in the first nine months of 2006. We reported an after-tax gain on the sale of Power Systems of $866.5 million ($5.29 per share) for the nine months ended June 30, 2007.

     We also reported after-tax income of $8.3 million during the first nine months of 2007 related to other discontinued operations activities, compared to a $4.7 million loss from other discontinued operations activities in the first nine months of 2006. See also Note 13 in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on discontinued operations.

     Segment operating margin of our Control Products & Solutions operating segment increased 0.5 points in the first nine months of 2007 compared to the first nine months of 2006 due to productivity efforts and price increases, partially offset by inflation, product mix, spending to support growth and the gain on the sale of a building during the second quarter of 2006.

Financial Condition

     The following is a summary of our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities, as reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows (in millions):

	Nine Months Ended

	2007			2006
Cash provided by (used for):
Operating activities	$	264.2		$	64.9
Investing activities		1,614.7			(10.4	)
Financing activities		(1,501.8	)		(290.3	)
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash		18.3			(3.2	)
Cash provided by (used for) continuing operations	$	395.4		$	(239.0	)
The following table summarizes free cash flow (in millions):
Cash provided by continuing operating activities	$	264.2		$	64.9
Capital expenditures of continuing operations		(82.1	)		(77.9	)
Tax payments related to the gain on divestiture of Power Systems		142.2			—
Excess income tax benefit from the exercise of stock options		21.4			45.9
Free cash flow	$	345.7		$	32.9

     Our definition of free cash flow, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, takes into consideration capital investments required to maintain the operations of our businesses and execute our strategy. In the first quarter of 2006 we adopted SFAS 123(R) (see Note 2 in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements), which requires that we report the excess income tax benefit from the exercise of stock options as a financing cash flow rather than as an operating cash flow. We have added this benefit back to our calculation of free cash flow in order to generally classify cash flows arising from income taxes as operating cash flows. In our opinion, free cash flow provides useful information to investors regarding our ability to generate cash from business operations that is available for acquisitions and other investments, service of debt principal, dividends and share repurchases. We use free cash flow as one measure to monitor and evaluate performance. Our definition of free cash flow may be different from definitions used by other companies.

     Our definition of free cash flow excludes the operating cash flows and capital expenditures related to our discontinued operations. Operating, investing and financing cash flows of our discontinued operations are presented separately in our statement of cash flows. Cash flows from the operating activities of our discontinued operations are reported in our statement of cash flows net of their separately calculated income tax effects. U.S. Federal and state taxes paid in the third quarter of 2007 that are directly attributable to the gain on sale of the principal businesses of our former Power Systems operating segment have been excluded from free cash flow to present free cash flow that is representative of the performance of our continuing businesses.

     Free cash flow was a source of $345.7 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2007 compared to a source of $32.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2006. The increase in free cash flow was largely the result of the $450.0 million voluntary contribution to our U.S. qualified pension plan trust in the first nine months of 2006, compared to $8.0 million of voluntary contributions in the first nine months of 2007. This increase was partially offset by increased working capital requirements during the nine months ended June 30, 2007.

     Commercial paper is our principal source of short-term financing. Commercial paper borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2007 were $49.0 million. The weighted average interest rate on these borrowings was 5.5 percent. At September 30, 2006, commercial paper borrowings outstanding were $219.0 million, with a weighted average interest rate of 5.4 percent.

ROCKWELL AUTOMATION, INC.

Financial Condition – (Continued)

     In January 2007, we received $1.75 billion of cash proceeds from the sale of our Dodge mechanical and Reliance Electric motors and motor repair services businesses. We used a portion of the cash proceeds to repay commercial paper borrowings of $675.1 million outstanding at January 31, 2007. We invested the remaining cash proceeds in cash equivalents, including commercial paper. In October 2005, we contributed $450 million to our U.S. qualified pension trust. We funded the contribution with a combination of cash on hand and $300 million of commercial paper borrowings. In November 2005, we sold 8 owned properties used in continuing operations in a sale-leaseback transaction for net cash proceeds of approximately $89.9 million. We also sold 16 properties used in discontinued operations in the sale-leaseback transaction for net cash proceeds of $57.6 million. We used the cash proceeds to repay commercial paper borrowings.

     We repurchased approximately 20.1 million shares of our common stock in the first nine months of 2007, of which 75,000 shares did not settle until July 2007. The total cost of these shares was $1,248.3 million, of which $5.1 million was recorded in accounts payable at June 30, 2007. This is compared to purchases of approximately 6.9 million shares at a cost of $424.4 million in the first nine months of 2006. We anticipate continuing to repurchase stock in 2007, the amount of which will depend ultimately on business conditions, stock price and other cash requirements. At June 30, 2007, we had approximately $284.1 million remaining for stock repurchases under an existing board authorization. See Part II, Item 2, Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds, for additional information regarding share repurchases.

     We expect future uses of cash to include repayments of short-term borrowings and the $350.0 million principal amount of the short-term portion of long-term borrowings, repurchases of common stock, additional tax payments related to the Power Systems gain, dividends to shareowners, capital expenditures and acquisitions of businesses (including our ICS Triplex acquisition for approximately $221 million) and may include additional contributions to our pension plans. We expect capital expenditures from continuing operations in 2007 to be about $130 million. We expect to fund these future uses of cash with existing cash balances, cash generated by operating activities, commercial paper borrowings, a new issue of debt or issuance of other securities.

     In addition to cash generated by operating activities, we have access to existing financing sources, including the public debt markets and unsecured credit facilities with various banks. Our debt-to-total-capital ratio was 29.1 percent at June 30, 2007 and 33.5 percent at September 30, 2006.

     In October 2004, we entered into a five-year $600.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility. Our credit facility remains in effect and we had not drawn down under it at June 30, 2007 or September 30, 2006. Borrowings under our credit facility bear interest based on short-term money market rates in effect during the period the borrowings are outstanding. The terms of our credit facility contain covenants under which we would be in default if our debt-to-total-capital ratio was to exceed 60 percent. We were in compliance with all covenants under our credit facility at June 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006. In addition to our $600.0 million credit facility, short-term unsecured credit facilities of approximately $124.6 million at June 30, 2007 were available to foreign subsidiaries. In September 2006 we entered into a 364-day $250.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility. We terminated our $250.0 million credit facility effective March 30, 2007, as we no longer considered the liquidity provided by this facility to be necessary.

     The following is a summary of our credit ratings as of June 30, 2007:

	Short Term	Long Term
Credit Rating Agency	Rating	Rating	Outlook
Standard & Poor’s	A-1	A	Stable
Moody’s	P-2	A3	Positive
Fitch Ratings	F1	A	Stable

     On July 19, 2007, Moody’s raised our short-term credit rating to P-1 from P-2 and our long-term credit rating to A2 from A3. Additionally, Moody’s changed our credit rating outlook to Stable.

     Among other uses, we can draw our credit facility as a standby liquidity facility to repay our outstanding commercial paper as it matures. This access to funds to repay maturing commercial paper is an important factor in maintaining the ratings set forth in the table above that have been given to our commercial paper. Under our current policy with respect to these ratings, we expect to limit our other borrowings under the credit facility, if any, to amounts that would leave enough credit available under the facility so that we could borrow, if needed, to repay all of our then outstanding commercial paper as it matures.

33

ROCKWELL AUTOMATION, INC.

Financial Condition – (Continued)

     If our access to the commercial paper market is adversely affected due to a change in market conditions or otherwise, we would expect to rely on a combination of available cash and the unsecured committed credit facility to provide short-term funding. In such event, the cost of borrowings under the unsecured committed credit facility could be higher than the cost of commercial paper borrowings.

Environmental

     Information with respect to the effect on us and our manufacturing operations of compliance with environmental protection requirements and resolution of environmental claims is contained in Note 17 of the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006. We have updated this information in Note 12 in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, due to a significant change in our reserve balances during the nine months ended June 30, 2007.

Supplemental Sales Information

     We translate sales of subsidiaries operating outside of the United States using exchange rates during the respective period. Therefore, reported sales are affected by changes in currency rates, which are outside our control. We believe that sales excluding the effect of changes in currency exchange rates, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, provides useful information to investors because it reflects regional performance from the activities of our businesses without the effect of changes in currency rates. We use sales excluding the effect of changes in currency exchange rates to monitor and evaluate our regional performance. We determine the effect of changes in currency exchange rates by translating the respective period’s sales using the same currency exchange rates as were in effect the preceding year. We attribute sales to the geographic regions based on the country of destination.

     The following is a reconciliation of our reported sales to sales excluding the effect of changes in currency exchange rates (in millions):

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

     We have prepared the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Information with respect to our critical accounting policies that we believe could have the most significant effect on our reported results or require subjective or complex judgments by management is contained in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006. We believe that at June 30, 2007, there has been no material change to this information, except as follows:

     In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 158,Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans — An Amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132R(SFAS 158). SFAS 158 requires companies to recognize the funded status of pension and other postretirement benefit plans on sponsoring employers’ balance sheets and to recognize changes in the funded status in the year the changes occur. It also requires the measurement date of plan assets and obligations to occur at the end of the employers’ fiscal year. SFAS 158 is effective for us at the end of fiscal 2007, except for the change in measurement date, which is effective for us in fiscal 2009. Based on the funded status of our pension and postretirement benefit plans as reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K dated September 30, 2006, we would have recorded approximately a 15 percent decrease in shareowners’ equity had SFAS 158 been effective at that date. It is unlikely that FAS 158 will affect our results of operations, our loan covenant compliance or our other financial arrangements. The ultimate effect on our financial statements upon adoption will depend upon the discount rate at our fiscal 2007 measurement date (June 30, 2007) and actual returns on our pension plan assets during the year.

     Our reserve for environmental matters, net of related receivables, was $69.0 million at June 30, 2007 and $65.7 million at September 30, 2006. The reserve includes $26.7 million and $28.7 million recorded in other liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006, respectively, relating to conditional asset retirement obligations. During the second quarter of 2007, we recorded an increase in the reserves of $13.7 million ($8.5 million after tax or $0.05 per diluted share) as a result of an anticipated legal settlement and changes in estimated remediation costs at three sites as a result of new information.

ROCKWELL AUTOMATION, INC.

Item 3.	Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
	Information with respect to our exposure to interest rate risk and foreign currency risk is contained in Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006. We believe that at June 30, 2007, there has been no material change to this information.

Item 4.	Controls and Procedures
	Disclosure Controls and Procedures: We, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act)) as of the end of the fiscal quarter covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the fiscal quarter covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
	Internal Control Over Financial Reporting: There has not been any change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f)) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
	As previously disclosed, we are in the process of developing and implementing common global process standards and an enterprise-wide information technology system. Additional implementations will occur to most locations of our company over a multi-year period, with additional phases scheduled throughout fiscal 2007-2010.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.	Legal Proceedings
	Information about our legal proceedings is contained in Part II, Item 1, Legal Proceedings, of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. We believe that at June 30, 2007, there has been no material change to this information, except that the sections entitled “Rocky Flats Plant” and “Russellville” are updated in their entirety as follows:
	Rocky Flats Plant. The former Rockwell International Corporation (RIC) operated the Rocky Flats Plant (the Plant), Golden, Colorado, from 1975 through December 1989 for the Department of Energy (DOE). Incident to Boeing’s acquisition of RIC in 1996, we assumed and agreed to indemnify RIC and Boeing for any liability arising out of RIC’s activities at the Plant to the extent such liability is not assumed or indemnified by the government, and RIC and Boeing assigned to us the right to any reimbursements or other proceeds to which they might be entitled under RIC’s Rocky Flats contracts with the DOE.

ROCKWELL AUTOMATION, INC.

Item 1.	Legal Proceedings – (Continued)
	On January 30, 1990, a class action was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado against RIC and another former operator of the Plant. The action alleges the improper production, handling and disposal of radioactive and other hazardous substances, constituting, among other things, violations of various environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, and misrepresentation and concealment of the facts relating thereto. On October 8, 1993, the court certified separate medical monitoring and property value classes. On February 14, 2006, a jury empanelled to try certain of the class action plaintiffs’ property damage claims found the contractor defendants liable for trespass and nuisance, and awarded $176 million in compensatory damages and $200 million in punitive damages against the two defendants collectively. The jury also found RIC to be 10% responsible for the trespass and 70% responsible for the nuisance. No appealable judgment has been entered on the jury verdict, in part because the court has yet to decide how the damages are to be allocated between the defendants and among the plaintiff class members. Appeals are likely after judgment is entered. Effective August 1, 1996, the DOE assumed control of the defense of the contractor defendants, including RIC, in the action and has either reimbursed or paid directly the costs of RIC’s defense. We believe that RIC is entitled under applicable law and its contract with the DOE to be indemnified for the verdict and other costs associated with this action.
	On November 13, 1990, RIC was served with another civil action brought against it 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 its operation of the Plant (and seeking treble damages and forfeitures). On December 6, 1995, the DOE notified RIC that it would no longer reimburse costs incurred by RIC 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 plaintiffs approximately $1.4 million in damages. On May 18, 1999, the court entered judgment against RIC 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. On September 24, 2001, a panel of the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the judgment. On November 2, 2001, RIC filed a petition for rehearing with the Court of Appeals seeking reconsideration of that portion of the decision holding that Mr. Stone is entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees. On March 4, 2002, the Court of Appeals remanded the case to the trial court for the limited purpose of making findings of fact and conclusions of law pertaining to Mr. Stone’s relator status and, the trial court having made findings of fact on the issue, on March 15, 2004, a panel of the Court of Appeals again ruled that Mr. Stone is entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees. On March 27, 2007, the Supreme Court reversed the findings of the lower courts and held that Mr. Stone was not a proper relator with respect to the claims on which RIC was found liable. As a result of this ruling, RIC will not be liable for Mr. Stone’s attorney’s fees. We are making arrangements to pay $4.2 million plus interest that RIC now owes to the U.S. government. We believe that RIC is entitled under applicable law and its contract with the DOE to be indemnified for all costs and any liability associated with this action. However, as described below, the Civilian Board of Contract Appeals has denied RIC’s claim seeking reimbursement of certain of those costs.
	On January 8, 1991, RIC filed suit in the United States Court of Federal Claims against the DOE, seeking recovery of $6.5 million of award fees that it alleges are owed to it 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 January 18, 2007, the Court entered judgment in our favor, which will require DOE to pay us $3.1 million, plus interest since 1991. This judgment is no longer subject to appeal. We received $6.0 from DOE on July 2, 2007. On May 4, 2005, RIC filed another claim with the DOE, seeking recovery of $11.3 million in unreimbursed costs incurred in defense of the Stone suit. On September 30, 2005, the DOE Contracting Officer denied that claim and demanded repayment of $4 million in previously reimbursed Stone defense costs. On November 10, 2005, RIC appealed both aspects of the Contracting Officer’s decision regarding Stone defense costs to the Civilian Board of Contract Appeals. On July 9, 2007, the Board ruled that the DOE is entitled to be repaid the previously reimbursed Stone defense costs and that RIC cannot recover its unreimbursed costs. We are considering an appeal from these rulings.

Legal Proceedings – (Continued)

Russellville. On March 24, 1997, the Circuit Court of Franklin County, Kentucky inCommonwealth of Kentucky, Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Cabinet vs. Rockwell, an action filed in 1986 seeking remediation of PCB contamination resulting from unpermitted discharges of PCBs from a plant in Russellville, Kentucky owned and operated by RIC’s Measurement & Flow Control Division before its divestiture in March 1989, entered judgment establishing PCB cleanup levels for the former plant site and certain offsite property and ordering additional characterization of possible contamination in the Mud River and its flood plain. The Court deferred any decision to impose civil penalties pending implementation of an appropriate remediation program. On August 13, 1999, the Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court’s judgment, a ruling that the Kentucky Supreme Court has let stand. We have been proceeding with remediation and characterization efforts consistent with the trial court’s ruling. However, we are also in the process of entering into an agreed order with the State of Kentucky amending the Court’s 1997 judgment. As a result, we will pay a civil penalty of $2.0 million and will perform Supplemental Environmental Projects (“SEPs”) totaling $5.5 million. We will also enter into a separate agreement with the Kentucky Natural Resource Trustees to pay $2.5 million in natural resource damages. The PCB cleanup levels established by the Court in 1997 will be replaced with the remediation standards and procedures embodied in a new Kentucky regulation codified at 401 KAR 100:030. We will continue our remediation efforts under these new standards. The agreed order is subject to final approval by the Court, but approval is expected soon. Once approved, the agreed order dispenses with all issues remaining open from the Court’s 1997 judgment and conclusively resolves any and all claims by the State of Kentucky pertaining to the original action.

Item 1A.	Risk Factors
	Information about our most significant risk factors is contained in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006. We believe that at June 30, 2007 there has been no material change to this information, except as follows:
	We do not consider the risk factor titled, “Dispositions of businesses involve risks and uncertainties,” to continue to be a significant risk, as we completed the sale of the principal businesses of our former Power Systems operating segment to Baldor Electric Company on January 31, 2007.
	We have also added the following risk factor:
	Failure to successfully execute on our globalization and cost productivity initiatives could have an adverse effect on our operating results.
	Our globalization strategy includes localization of our products and services to be near our customers and identified growth opportunities. Localization of our products and services includes expanding our global capabilities, including supply chain and sourcing activities, product design, manufacturing, engineering, marketing and sales and support. In addition, we continue with our initiative to invest in actions to reduce our cost structure. The failure to achieve our objectives on these initiatives could have an adverse effect on our operating results.

On September 6, 2006, we initiated a 9 million share repurchase program effective through September 30, 2007. This program was approved by our Board of Directors, and replaced our former 9 million share repurchase program in effect since September 8, 2005. At the time we terminated and replaced our former repurchase program, no shares remained subject to repurchase under the former program. On December 6, 2006, the Board of Directors approved the repurchase by us of 3 million shares between December 29, 2006 and December 31, 2007. This was in addition to the 9 million share repurchase program authorized in September 2006. On February 7, 2007, the Board of Directors approved an additional $1.0 billion of share repurchases. Our repurchase programs allow management to repurchase shares at its discretion. However, during quarter-end “quiet periods,” defined as the period of time from quarter-end until two days following the filing of our quarterly earnings results with the SEC on Form 8-K, shares are repurchased at our broker’s discretion pursuant to a share repurchase plan subject to price and volume parameters.
