Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations; however, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The condensed financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's 2000 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of the registrant, the accompanying financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company at September 28, 2001 and December 31, 2000, its results of operations for the three months and nine months ended September 28, 2001 and September 29, 2000, and its cash flows for the nine months ended September 28, 2001 and September 29, 2000. Total comprehensive income was as follows: 2001 2000 ---- ---- (millions) Quarter $ 92.4 $ 85.3 Nine Months $252.0 $220.4 Total comprehensive income for all periods represents net income and the change in cumulative foreign translation adjustment. NOTE 2. SEGMENT INFORMATION Segment information is presented consistently with the basis described in the 2000 Annual Report.

ACQUISITIONS In the third quarter of 2001, the Company acquired three companies for total consideration of approximately $125 million. All acquisitions have been accounted for as purchases. The fair value of the assets acquired was approximately $138 million, and approximately $13 million of liabilities were assumed. On July 3, 2000, the motion control businesses of Warner Electric Company were acquired and merged into the Company. Total consideration was approximately $147 million. The fair value of the assets acquired was approximately $185 million and approximately $38 million of liabilities were assumed. The transaction is being accounted for as a purchase. On June 20, 2000, Kollmorgen Corporation was acquired and merged into the Company. Total consideration was approximately $363 million, including the assumption of approximately $96 million of debt. The fair value of the assets acquired was approximately $537 million and approximately $174 million of liabilities were assumed. The transaction is being accounted for as a purchase. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND --------------------------------------------------------------- RESULTS OF OPERATIONS --------------------- Results of Operations --------------------- Net sales for the 2001 third quarter of $901.6 million were 8.6% lower than the 2000 quarter of $986.8 million. The Tools and Components business segment revenues declined 11.5% for the quarter. Declines in demand for the hand tool, engine retarder, and drill chuck product lines caused the revenue decline. Revenues in the Process/Environmental Controls business segment fell 7.2% for the third quarter. Core volume for this segment declined 10%, which was offset by 3% growth from recent acquisitions. Declines in the motion and power quality business units were somewhat offset by increases in the environmental business units. On a consolidated basis, the Company experienced core volume declines of 10.6% and acquisition growth of 2%. Net sales for the 2001 nine month period grew 4.3% over the 2000 period. Revenues from acquisitions accounted for 10.8% growth, and were offset by core volume declines of 5.9% and negative currency impacts of 0.6%. Gross profit margin for the 2001 third quarter of 39.3% was flat compared to the 2000 third quarter. Declining production volumes caused downward pressure on margins, but were entirely offset 10 by aggressive cost reductions, productivity improvements, and a continuing shift toward higher margin Process/Environmental Controls product lines. Gross profit margin for the 2001 nine month period of 38.6% was slightly below the prior year margin of 38.8%. Aggressive cost reductions across both business segments combined with productivity improvements to offset the lower gross margins of businesses acquired during 2000 and 2001. Selling, general and administrative expenses fell $36.8 million for the third quarter and $14.2 million for the nine month period. Aggressive cost reductions, controls on discretionary spending, and lower variable expenses were only slightly offset by the increases from newly acquired companies. As a percentage of sales, these expenses fell 1.9 points for the quarter and 1.4 points for the nine month period, reflecting the cost reductions and spending controls put in place throughout the year. Interest expense for the 2001 third quarter was $4.7 million lower than the 2000 third quarter. Average net debt levels were lower during 2001, reflecting strong cash flow generated throughout the year. For the nine month period, interest expense was essentially flat compared to 2000, as costs of borrowings undertaken to finance acquisitions, and a lower interest rate environment on invested cash, were both offset by strong cash flows used to reduce net debt. The effective tax rate of 37.5% for the third quarter and the nine-month period in 2001 is 0.5 percentage points lower than in the respective periods of 2000, primarily due to a higher proportion of foreign earnings in 2001 compared to 2000. In July 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations" ("SFAS 141") and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142"). SFAS 141 requires all business combinations to be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and is effective for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS 142 requires goodwill to be tested for impairment under certain circumstances, and written off when impaired, rather than being amortized as previous standards required. The adoption of SFAS 141 did not have a material effect on our operating results or financial condition. With respect to acquisitions completed prior to June 30, 2001, the Company intends to implement SFAS No. 142 in the first quarter of 2002 and is currently in the process of assessing the impact of adoption. Liquidity and Capital Resources ------------------------------- The Company continues to experience strong operating cash flow, driven primarily by reductions in working capital and a 11.9% increase in net earnings for the nine month period. Operating cash flow of $430.3 million for the 2001 nine month period reached record levels and was 8.5% over the same period last year. Total debt increased to $1.2 billion at September 28, 2001, compared to $795.2 million at 11 December 31, 2000. During the first quarter of 2001, the Company issued $830 million (value at maturity) in zero-coupon convertible senior notes due 2021 known as Liquid Yield Option Notes or LYONS. The net proceeds to the Company were approximately $505 million, of which approximately $100 million was used to pay down debt, and the balance will be used for general corporate purposes, including potential future acquisitions. The LYONS are convertible into approximately 6.0 million common shares of the Company, and carry a yield to maturity of 2.375%. Net cash paid for acquisitions was $125 million and $319 million, respectively, for the quarter and nine months ended September 28, 2001. In the first quarter of 2001, the Company acquired United Power Corporation for a cash price of approximately $108 million. The Company also disposed of two small product lines during the first quarter of 2001, yielding cash proceeds of approximately $32 million. There was no material gain or loss recognized on the sale of these product lines. In the second and third quarters of 2001, the Company acquired several smaller companies for an aggregate cash price of $243 million. In the third quarter of 2001, the Company repurchased 200,500 shares of its common stock at a cost of $9.2 million. The Company has remaining authorization to repurchase up to an additional 4.7 million shares. In the first quarter of 2000, the Company repurchased $82 million of the Company's common stock and acquired American Precision Industries, Inc. for a cash price of approximately $246 million including assumption of debt, or $19.25 per share. In the second quarter of 2000, the Company acquired Kollmorgen Corporation for a cash price of approximately $363 million including the assumption of debt, or $23 per share. On June 28, 2001, the Company replaced its $250 million bank credit facility with a new $500 million credit facility. The new facility provides funds for general corporate purposes and has a five year term. There have been no borrowings under either facility during 2001. In the third quarter of 2000, on July 3, 2000, the Company purchased the motion control businesses of Warner Electric for $144 million in cash. A regular quarterly dividend of $.02 per share was declared, payable on October 31, 2001 to shareholders of record on September 28, 2001. 12 The cash and cash equivalents of $646.5 million on the September 28, 2001 balance sheet were invested in highly liquid investment grade short term instruments. Interest income of $4.3 and $16.3 million was recognized in the third quarter and nine month period of 2001, respectively. The Company's cash provided from operations, as well as credit facilities available, should provide sufficient available funds to meet normal working capital requirements, capital expenditures, dividends, scheduled debt repayments, and to fund acquisitions, if applicable. 13 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 6.
