Basis of Presentation:
     The Corporation operates in three reportable business segments: Power Tools
and  Accessories,  Hardware and Home  Improvement,  and  Fastening  and Assembly
Systems.  The Power Tools and Accessories  segment has worldwide  responsibility
for the  manufacture  and sale of  consumer  and  professional  power  tools and
accessories,  electric  cleaning and lighting  products,  and electric  lawn and
garden tools, as well as for product service.  In addition,  the Power Tools and
Accessories  segment has  responsibility  for the sale of  security  hardware to
customers in Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean,  and South America; for the
sale of plumbing products to customers outside the United States and Canada; and
for sales of household  products.  The Hardware and Home Improvement segment has
worldwide  responsibility  for the  manufacture  and sale of  security  hardware
(except  for the sale of  security  hardware  in Mexico,  Central  America,  the
Caribbean, and South America). It also has responsibility for the manufacture of
plumbing  products  and for the sale of plumbing  products to  customers  in the
United  States and  Canada.  The  Fastening  and  Assembly  Systems  segment has
worldwide  responsibility for the manufacture and sale of fastening and assembly
systems.
     The  Corporation  assesses  the  performance  of  its  reportable  business
segments based upon a number of factors,  including  segment profit. In general,
segments follow the same accounting policies as those described in Note 1 of the
Corporation's  Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended  December 31, 2001,
except  with  respect  to  foreign  currency  translation  and except as further
indicated below. The financial statements of a segment's operating units located
outside  of  the  United  States,   except  those  units   operating  in  highly
inflationary  economies,  are generally measured using the local currency as the
functional  currency.  For these  units  located  outside of the United  States,
segment  assets and elements of segment  profit are  translated  using  budgeted
rates of exchange. Budgeted rates of exchange are established annually and, once
established,  all prior  period  segment data is restated to reflect the current
year's budgeted rates of exchange. The amounts included in the preceding segment
tables  under  the  captions  "Reportable  Business  Segments"  and  "Corporate,
Adjustments,  &  Eliminations"  are  reflected  at  the  Corporation's  budgeted
exchange  rates for 2002. The amounts  included in the preceding  segment tables
under the caption "Currency  Translation  Adjustments"  represent the difference
between  consolidated  amounts determined using those budgeted rates of exchange
and  those  determined  based  upon  the  rates  of  exchange  applicable  under
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
     Segment profit excludes interest income and expense,  non-operating  income
and expense,  goodwill  amortization  (except for the  amortization  of goodwill
associated with certain acquisitions made by the Power Tools and Accessories and
Fastening and Assembly Systems segments),  adjustments to eliminate intercompany
profit in  inventory,  and income  tax  expense.  In  addition,  segment  profit
excludes  restructuring  and exit  costs and the gain on sale of  business.  For
certain operations located in Brazil,  Venezuela,  and Turkey, segment profit is
reduced by net  interest  expense and  non-operating  expenses.  In  determining
segment profit,  expenses relating to pension and other postretirement  benefits
are based solely upon estimated service costs.  Corporate  expenses,  as well as
certain  centrally managed  expenses,  are allocated to each reportable  segment
based upon  budgeted  amounts.  While sales and transfers  between  segments are
accounted  for at cost plus a  reasonable  profit,  the effects of  intersegment
sales are excluded from the computation of segment profit.  Intercompany  profit
in inventory is excluded from segment assets and is recognized as a reduction of
cost of sales by the selling  segment  when the related  inventory is sold to an
unaffiliated customer. Because the Corporation compensates the management of its
various businesses on, among other factors,  segment profit, the Corporation may
elect  to  record  certain  segment-related  expense  items  of  an  unusual  or
non-recurring  nature in consolidation rather than reflect such items in segment
profit. In addition,  certain  segment-related items of income or expense may be
recorded in  consolidation in one period and transferred to the various segments
in a later period.
