FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus and the documents that we incorporate by reference contain
certain statements that we believe may be forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We generally indicate these statements by words
or phrases such as "anticipate," "estimate," "plan," "expect," "believe,"
"intend," "foresee" and similar words or phrases. Forward-looking statements
include, among other things, statements regarding facility consolidations and
cost reduction programs, the anticipated debt-to-capitalization ratio, potential
liability exposure resulting from Federal-Mogul Corporation's bankruptcy filing,
the anticipated benefits of Cooper's recent reorganization to reincorporate in
Bermuda and any statements regarding future revenues, earnings, cash flows and
expenditures. All of these forward-looking statements are subject to risks,
uncertainties and assumptions. Consequently, actual events and results may vary
significantly from those included in or contemplated or implied by our
forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements included in this
prospectus or the relevant incorporated documents are made only as of the date
of this prospectus or the relevant incorporated document, as the case may be,
and, except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update
these forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances.
Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from
those suggested by these forward-looking statements and that could adversely
affect our future financial performance include the following:
o the condition of the domestic economy and European and Latin American
markets;
o spending on commercial and residential construction and by utilities;
o worldwide energy-related project spending;
1
o demand for products in the electronics and telecommunications markets;
o changes in raw material and energy costs;
o changes in the mix of products sold;
o realization of benefits of cost reduction programs;
o industry competition;
o the timing of facility consolidations and the magnitude of any
disruption from such consolidations;
o changes in tax laws, regulations and treaties;
o the relationship of the U.S. dollar to the currencies of countries in
which we do business;
o mergers and acquisitions and their integration with us;
o the resolution of Federal-Mogul's bankruptcy proceedings; or
o risks related to changing legal and regulatory requirements and
changing market, economic and political conditions in the countries in
which we operate.
The risks and uncertainties identified above are not the only risks we face.
Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we
currently believe to be immaterial also may adversely affect us. Should any
known or unknown risks and uncertainties develop into actual events, these
developments could have material adverse effects on our business, financial
condition and results of operations.

ENFORCEMENT OF JUDGMENTS AND SERVICE OF PROCESS
The Guarantor is a Bermuda company. The Guarantor has been advised by its
Bermuda counsel, Appleby, Spurling & Kempe, that a judgment for the payment of
money rendered by a court in the United States based on civil liability would
not be automatically enforceable in Bermuda. The Guarantor has also been advised
by Appleby, Spurling & Kempe that a final and conclusive judgment obtained in a
court of competent jurisdiction in the United States under which a sum of money
is payable as compensatory damages may be the subject of an action in the
Supreme Court of Bermuda under the common law doctrine of obligation, by action
on the debt evidenced by the court's judgment. Such an action should be
successful upon proof that the sum of money is due and payable, and without
having to prove the facts supporting the underlying judgment, as long as:
3
o the court that gave the judgment was competent to hear the action in
accordance with private international law principles as applied by the
courts in Bermuda; and
o the judgment is not contrary to public policy in Bermuda, was not
obtained by fraud or in proceedings contrary to natural justice of
Bermuda and is not based on an error in Bermuda law.
A Bermuda court may impose civil liability on the Guarantor or its directors or
officers in a suit brought in the Supreme Court of Bermuda against the Guarantor
or such persons with respect to facts that constitute a violation of U.S.
federal securities laws, provided that the facts surrounding such violation
would constitute or give rise to a cause of action under Bermuda law.
Since the Guarantor is a Bermuda company, it may be difficult for you to effect
service of process within the United States or to enforce judgments obtained
against the Guarantor in U.S. courts. The Guarantor will irrevocably agree that
it may be served with process with respect to actions based on offers and sales
of securities made in the United States and other violations of U.S. securities
laws by having Cooper Industries, Inc. located at 600 Travis, Suite 5800,
Houston, Texas 77002-1001, be its U.S. agent appointed for that purpose.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
On May 22, 2002, we completed a reorganization by which Cooper Industries, Inc.
the Ohio corporation that was the parent company for all historical operations
and is referred to in this prospectus as "Cooper," became a wholly-owned,
indirect subsidiary of Cooper Industries, Ltd., a Bermuda company that is
referred to in this prospectus as the "Guarantor." In the transaction each
outstanding share of Cooper stock was automatically converted into a Class A
common share of the Guarantor, such that the Guarantor replaced Cooper as the
publicly-traded parent company. The Class A common shares of the Guarantor are
traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "CBE." As a general
matter, the merger did not affect the conduct of operations of the historical
business.
The consolidated financial statements included and incorporated by reference in
this prospectus for all reporting periods through the first quarter of 2002 are
the financial statements of Cooper and its consolidated subsidiaries. Commencing
with the second quarter of 2002, such consolidated financial statements are the
financial statements of the Guarantor and its consolidated subsidiaries,
including Cooper. The reorganization was accounted for as a reorganization of
entities under common control, which did not result in changes in the historical
consolidated carrying amount of assets, liabilities and shareholders' equity.
We believe that reorganizing as a Bermuda corporation will allow us to implement
our business strategy more effectively. A significant portion of our business is
currently, and we believe in the future a greater portion will be, generated
from non-U.S. markets. We believe the reorganization will allow us to take
advantage of financial and other business opportunities that were not available
under our former corporate structure, including:
o Improving our worldwide effective tax rate;
o Maximizing our potential business growth and cash flow;
5
o Using the greater cash flow to invest for further earnings growth,
including by developing higher-growth product lines and acquiring
complementary higher-growth electrical and electronic businesses;
o Strengthening our position vis-a-vis competitors in the global
marketplace; and
o Expanding our investor base as our shares may become more attractive
to non-U.S. investors.
We believe that the reorganization should improve our global tax position and
should maximize potential growth and cash flow. We anticipate that the
reorganization may result in significant tax savings. These savings are expected
to result in a reduction in our annual effective tax rate from approximately 32%
to within a range from 20% to 25% over the next several years due to the
reorganization. However, our tax rate will depend on, among other things, the
level and geographic mix of our earnings and changes and interpretations with
respect to tax laws, treaties and policies in the jurisdictions where we
operate, which may reduce or eliminate any improvements in our global tax
position. Accordingly, our actual effective tax rate may vary materially from
our expectation.
It is important to note that several members of the United States Congress have
introduced legislation that, if enacted, would have the effect of substantially
reducing or eliminating the anticipated tax benefits of the reorganization. As a
result, changes in tax laws, tax treaties or tax regulations may occur, with
prospective or retroactive effect, that would have a material adverse effect on
the anticipated tax benefits of the reorganization.
USE OF PROCEEDS
Unless otherwise indicated in any applicable prospectus supplement, we expect to
use the net proceeds from the sale of the debt securities to be offered by this
prospectus to reduce short-term and other indebtedness, to finance our
operations and for other general corporate purposes.
RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES
The ratio of earnings to fixed charges is computed by dividing earnings before
fixed charges by fixed charges. Earnings before fixed charges consist of income
from continuing operations before income taxes plus fixed charges, less
capitalized interest, plus equity in earnings (losses) of less than 50% owned
companies. Fixed charges consist of interest, whether expensed or capitalized,
amortized capitalized expenses related to indebtedness, and the portion of
operating lease rental expense that represents the interest factor.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DEBT SECURITIES
The following description of the terms of the debt securities describes the
general terms of the debt securities to which any prospectus supplement may
relate. The prospectus supplement that relates to a particular offering of debt
securities will describe the terms of the debt securities offered and the extent
to which the following general provisions do not apply to that particular
offering. If the information in the prospectus supplement differs from this
prospectus, investors should rely on information in the prospectus supplement
with respect to the particular debt securities being offered.
The debt securities will be issued under an indenture, dated as of January 15,
1990, between Cooper and The Chase Manhattan Bank (National Association) (now
JPMorgan Chase Bank), as trustee, as supplemented by the First Supplemental
Indenture, dated as of May 15, 2002, and the Second Supplemental Indenture,
dated as of June 21, 2002, each among Cooper, the Guarantor, and JPMorgan Chase
Bank, as trustee. The original indenture together with both supplemental
indentures are collectively referred to in this description as the indenture.
The terms of the debt securities include those stated in the indenture and those
made part of the indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939.
We have filed the indenture, including the supplemental indentures, as exhibits
to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. The following
description is a summary of the provisions of the indenture. Because it is a
summary, it does not contain all of the information that may be important to
you. We urge you to read the entire indenture, including any supplements
thereto, because it, and not this description, defines your rights as a holder
of the debt securities.
In this summary, the term Cooper refers only to Cooper Industries, Inc. and not
to its parent or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, and the term Guarantor
refers only to Cooper Industries, Ltd. and not to any of its subsidiaries. You
can find the definitions of capitalized terms used in this description under the
subheading "Certain Definitions."
GENERAL
The debt securities will be Cooper's unsecured obligations and will rank equal
in right of payment with all of Cooper's unsecured and unsubordinated debt,
unless Cooper is required by the covenant described below under "Certain
Covenants - Covenants Limiting Secured Indebtedness" to secure the debt
securities. The indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of debt
securities that may be issued under the indenture.
Cooper may issue the debt securities in one or more series with the same or
various maturities at par, at a premium or at a discount. Debt securities
bearing no interest or interest at a rate that at the time of issuance is below
market rates will be sold at a discount below their stated principal amount. The
discount may be substantial. We will describe federal income tax consequences
and other special considerations applicable to any of these securities in the
applicable prospectus supplement. The debt securities will not contain any
provisions that may afford holders of the debt securities protection upon a
change in control of Cooper or the Guarantor or upon a highly leveraged
transaction, whether or not the transaction results in a change in control of
Cooper or the Guarantor.
You should refer to the prospectus supplement relating to the particular series
of debt securities being offered for the following terms:
o the designation, aggregate principal amount and authorized
denominations of the debt securities;
7
o the percentage of the principal amount at which the debt securities
will be issued;
o the date or dates on which the debt securities will mature;
o the date or dates on which principal will be payable and whether the
debt securities will be payable on demand on or after any date;
o the rate or rates per annum at which the debt securities will bear
interest, if any, or the method of determining the rate or rates;
o the date or dates from which interest, if any, will accrue and the
times at which interest will be payable;
o provisions for a sinking, purchase or other similar fund, if any;
o if applicable, the date after which and the price or prices at which
the debt securities may be redeemed;
o the principal amount of the debt securities which are issued bearing
no interest or below-market interest payable upon declaration of
acceleration of the maturity of the debt securities;
o any modifications of the events of default, covenants or defeasance
provisions contained in the indenture pertaining to the debt
securities; and
o any other terms of the debt securities.
The following will occur at the office of the trustee in New York, New York:
o Cooper will make all principal, premium and interest payments on the
debt securities, unless Cooper elects to make interest payments by
check mailed to the address of the person entitled to the payment as
it appears on the register of holders of debt securities;
o the debt securities will be exchangeable for other authorized
denominations; and
o transfers of the debt securities will be registrable.
Cooper will issue debt securities only in fully registered form without coupons
in denominations of $1,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000. No service charge
will apply to any transfer or exchange of the debt securities, but Cooper may
require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge payable in connection with the transfer or exchange.
GUARANTEE
The debt securities will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the
Guarantor. The guarantee will be an unsecured obligation of the Guarantor and
will rank equal in right of payment with all of the Guarantor's unsecured and
unsubordinated debt, unless the Guarantor is required by the covenant described
below under "Certain Covenants - Covenants Limiting Secured Indebtedness" to
secure the guarantee.
The aggregate amount of obligations guaranteed will be reduced to the extent
necessary to prevent violation of, or becoming voidable under, applicable law
relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws
affecting creditors generally.
8
CERTAIN COVENANTS
The indenture contains certain covenants, including, among others, those
described below. Except as set forth below, Cooper is not restricted by the
indenture from incurring any type of indebtedness or other obligation, from
paying dividends or making distributions on its capital stock or purchasing or
redeeming its capital stock. In addition, the indenture does not contain any
provisions that would require Cooper to repurchase or redeem or otherwise modify
the terms of any of the debt securities upon a change in control or other events
involving Cooper or the Guarantor which may adversely affect the
creditworthiness of the debt securities.
Covenant Limiting Secured Indebtedness. Neither the Guarantor nor any Restricted
Subsidiary may create, assume, guarantee, or incur any Secured Indebtedness,
unless immediately thereafter the aggregate amount of all Secured Indebtedness
(with some exceptions described below), together with the discounted present
value of all rentals due on Sale and Leaseback Transactions (not otherwise
excluded from the limitations on Sale and Leaseback Transactions as described
under "Certain Covenants - Covenant Limiting Sale and Leaseback Transactions")
would not exceed 15% of Consolidated Tangible Assets. However, this limitation
does not apply to the following types of Secured Indebtedness:
o any Lien on property as to which the debt securities are equally and
ratably secured with (or, at the option of the Guarantor, prior to)
the Secured Indebtedness;
o Liens on property (including shares or Indebtedness) which is not a
Principal Property;
o Liens on property (including shares or Indebtedness) of any
corporation existing at the time the corporation becomes a Restricted
Subsidiary;
o Liens on property (including shares or Indebtedness) existing at the
time of acquisition of the property by the Guarantor or a Restricted
Subsidiary;
o Liens to secure the payment of all or any part of the purchase price
of property (including shares or Indebtedness) created upon the
acquisition of such property by the Guarantor or a Restricted
Subsidiary, and Liens to secure any Secured Indebtedness incurred by
the Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary prior to, at the time of, or
within one year after the later of the acquisition, the completion of
construction (including any improvements, alterations or repairs to
existing property) or the commencement of commercial operation of the
property, which Secured Indebtedness is incurred for the purpose of
financing all or any part of the purchase price thereof or
construction of improvements, alterations or repairs thereon;
o Liens securing Secured Indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary owing
to the Guarantor or to another Restricted Subsidiary;
o Liens on property of a corporation existing at the time the
corporation is merged or consolidated with the Guarantor or a
Restricted Subsidiary or at the time of a sale, lease or other
disposition of the properties of a corporation as an entirety or
substantially as an entirety to the Guarantor or a Restricted
Subsidiary;
o Liens on property of the Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary in favor
of governmental authorities or any trustee or mortgagee acting on
behalf, or for the benefit, of any governmental authorities to secure
partial, progress, advance or other payments pursuant to any contract
or statute or to secure any Indebtedness incurred for the purpose of
financing all or any part of the purchase price or the cost of
construction of the property subject to the Liens, and any other Liens
incurred or assumed in connection with the issuance of
9
industrial revenue bonds or private activity bonds the interest of
which is exempt from federal income taxation under Section 103(b) of
the Internal Revenue Code;
o Liens existing on the first date on which a debt security is
authenticated by the trustee under the indenture; and
o certain extensions, renewals or replacements of any Lien referred to
in the above list.
Covenant Limiting Sale and Leaseback Transactions. Neither the Guarantor nor any
Restricted Subsidiary may enter into any Sale and Leaseback Transaction covering
any Principal Property of Cooper or any Restricted Subsidiary, unless:
(A) the sum of the following does not exceed 15% of Consolidated Tangible
Assets:
(1) the Attributable Debt outstanding pursuant to such Sale and
Leaseback Transactions;
(2) all Attributable Debt outstanding pursuant to all other Sale and
Leaseback Transactions entered into by the Guarantor or any
Restricted Subsidiary after the first date on which a debt
security is authenticated by the trustee under the indenture,
except for Sale and Leaseback Transactions of a Restricted
Subsidiary entered into prior to becoming a Restricted
Subsidiary; and
(3) the aggregate amount of all Secured Indebtedness, except Secured
Indebtedness permitted under "Covenant Limiting Secured
Indebtedness" above; or
(B) an amount equal to the greater of the following is applied to
retirement of Funded Debt within one year after the consummation of
such Sale and Leaseback Transaction:
(1) the net proceeds to the Guarantor or Restricted Subsidiary
pursuant to the Sale and Leaseback Transaction, or
(2) the fair market value of the property so leased as determined by
the Board of Directors (in the case of clause (1) or (2), after
repayment of, or otherwise taking into account, as the case may
be, the amount of any Secured Indebtedness secured by a Lien
encumbering the property which Secured Indebtedness existed
immediately prior to the Sale and Leaseback Transaction).
However, this limitation does not apply to any Sale and Leaseback Transaction:
o entered into in connection with the issuance of industrial revenue or
private activity bonds the interest of which is exempt from federal
income taxation under Section 103(b) of the Internal Revenue Code;
o if the Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary applies an amount equal to
the net proceeds, after repayment of any Secured Indebtedness secured
by a Lien encumbering the Principal Property which Secured
Indebtedness existed immediately before the Sale and Leaseback
Transaction, of the sale or transfer of the Principal Property leased
in the Sale and Leaseback Transaction to investment in another
Principal Property within one year before or after the sale or
transfer;
o entered into by a corporation prior to the date such corporation
became a Restricted Subsidiary; or
o entered into by a corporation prior to the time such corporation was
merged or consolidated with the Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary
or prior to the time of a sale, lease or other
10
disposition of the properties of such corporation as an entirety or
substantially as an entirety to the Guarantor or a Restricted
Subsidiary.

rental payments not to include amounts payable by the lessee for maintenance and
repairs, insurance, taxes, assessments and similar charges and for contingent
rents (such as those based on sales). In case of any Sale and Leaseback
Transaction which is terminable by the lessee upon the payment of a penalty,
such rental payments shall also include such penalty, but no rent shall be
considered as required to be paid under such lease subsequent to the first date
upon which it may be so terminated.

extendible at the option of the obligor to a date later than one year
from the date of its original issuance, excluding any portion of
Indebtedness which is included in current liabilities; and
o any Indebtedness which may be payable from the proceeds of Funded Debt
as defined above under the terms of the Funded Debt.

replaces such party pursuant to the indenture and, thereafter, shall mean such

products or services;
o a Subsidiary primarily engaged in leasing or insurance; or
o a Subsidiary primarily engaged in financing the Guarantor's or any
Restricted Subsidiary's operations outside the continental United
States.
"SALE AND LEASEBACK TRANSACTION" means any arrangement with any person providing
for the leasing by the Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary of any Principal

MERGER, CONSOLIDATION OR SALE OF ASSETS
Cooper may not merge into or consolidate with or convey or transfer its
properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any person unless:
o the successor corporation is a corporation organized and existing
under the laws of the United States of America or any state or the
District of Columbia;
o the successor corporation assumes by supplemental indenture all of
Cooper's obligations under the indenture; and
o immediately after giving effect to the transaction, no event of
default, and no event which, after notice or lapse of time, or both,
would become an event of default, has occurred and is continuing.
The Guarantor may not merge into or consolidate with or convey or transfer its
properties substantially as an entirety to any person unless:
o the successor corporation assumes by supplemental indenture all of the
Guarantor's obligations under the indenture; and
o immediately after giving effect to the transaction, no event of
default, and no event which, after notice or lapse of time, or both,
would become an event of default, has occurred and is continuing.
EVENTS OF DEFAULT
The following are events of default under the indenture:
o default for 30 days in payment of any interest installment when due;
o default in the payment of principal of, or premium, if any, on, any of
the debt securities of such series when due at its stated maturity,
when called for redemption, by declaration or otherwise;
o default in the making of any payment for a sinking, purchase or
similar fund provided for in respect of such series and continuance of
such default for a period of 30 days;
o default in the performance of any other covenant in the indenture with
respect to the debt securities for 90 days after notice to Cooper and
the Guarantor by the trustee or by holders of 25% in principal amount
of the outstanding debt securities of such series; or
o certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization involving
Cooper or the Guarantor.
However, if indicated in the prospectus supplement for a particular series of
debt securities, any of the foregoing events of default may be deleted or
modified from that summarized above and additional events of default may be
included. No event of default for a single series of debt securities constitutes
an event of default for any other series of debt securities. If an event of
default described above occurs
13
and is continuing for any series, either the trustee or the holders of not less
than 25% in total principal amount of the debt securities of the series then
outstanding, voting separately as a series, may declare the principal of all
outstanding debt securities of the series and the accrued interest to be due and
payable immediately. In the case of debt securities issued bearing no interest
or below-market interest, the amount that may be declared due and payable
immediately is the portion of the principal specified in the terms of the debt
securities, along with the accrued interest.
In some cases, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding
debt securities of a series may on behalf of the holders of all debt securities
of the series waive any past default or event of default for the debt securities
of the series or compliance with some provisions of the indenture, except, among
other things, an uncured default in payment of principal, premium, if any, or
interest, if any, on any of the debt securities of the series.
The trustee must, within 90 days after the occurrence of an event of default,
without regard to any grace period or notice requirement, give to the holders of
the debt securities of the series notice of all uncured and unwaived defaults
known to it. Except in the case of default in the payment of principal, premium
or interest on any of the debt securities of the series, the trustee will be
protected in withholding the notice if it in good faith determines that the
withholding of the notice is in the interest of the holders of the debt
securities of the series. The trustee is entitled to be indemnified by the
holders of debt securities before proceeding to exercise any right or power
under the indenture at the request of holders of the debt securities. The
trustee's right to indemnification is subject to the duty of the trustee during
an event of default to act with the required standard of care. Subject to the
provisions of the indenture, the holders of a majority in principal amount of
the outstanding debt securities of any series may direct the time, method and
place of conducting proceedings for remedies available to the trustee exercising
any trust or power conferred on the trustee for the series. Cooper and the
Guarantor must file annually with the trustee a certificate of no default or
specifying any default that exists.
AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS
Cooper, the Guarantor and the trustee may, without the consent of any holders of
debt securities, enter into supplemental indentures for, among others, the
purposes of:
o adding to Cooper's or the Guarantor's covenants;
o adding additional events of default;
o establishing the form or terms of debt securities;
o curing ambiguities or inconsistencies in the indenture; or
o making any other provisions about matters or questions arising under
the indenture if the action does not adversely affect the interests of
the holders of any affected series of debt securities.
Cooper, the Guarantor and the trustee may, with the consent of the holders of a
majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of each series
to be affected, execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or
changing or eliminating any of the provisions of the indenture or the debt
securities of a series or modifying any of the rights of the holders of the debt
securities of the series to be affected. However, no supplemental indenture may,
without the consent of the holder of each debt security affected, among other
things:
o change the fixed maturity (for these purposes that term does not
include payments due under any sinking, purchase or similar fund) of
any debt securities;
14
o reduce the principal amount of any debt securities;
o reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest on any debt
securities;
o reduce any premium payable upon the redemption of any debt securities;
or
o reduce the percentage of holders of debt securities of any series
required to consent to any supplemental indentures.
DEFEASANCE
Cooper and the Guarantor may at their option (a) be discharged from any and all
obligations of the debt securities, except in each case for some obligations to
register the transfer or exchange of the debt securities, replace stolen, lost
or mutilated debt securities, maintain paying agencies and hold moneys for
payment in trust, or (b) be released from some restrictive covenants of the
indenture, including those described above under "Certain Covenants," and will
not be limited by any restrictions on merger, consolidation or sales of assets,
in each case if Cooper takes the following actions while no event of default is
continuing with respect to payments due under the debt securities or certain
events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of Cooper or the Guarantor:
o deposits with the trustee, in trust, money, U.S. Government
Obligations or Eligible Obligations or any combination of these that
through the payment of interest and principal under their terms, will
provide money in an amount sufficient to pay all the principal,
including any mandatory sinking fund payments, any interest and any
premium on the debt securities on the dates the payments are due under
the terms of the series; and
o provides to the trustee an opinion of counsel or a ruling from, or
published by, the Internal Revenue Service, that holders of the debt
securities of the series will not recognize income, gain or loss for
federal income tax purposes from Cooper's and the Guarantor's exercise
of their option and will be required to pay federal income tax on the
same amount and in the same manner and at the same times as would have
been the case if the option had not been exercised.
In addition, Cooper and the Guarantor can also obtain a discharge under the
indenture with respect to all debt securities of a series by depositing with the
trustee, in trust, funds sufficient to pay at maturity or upon redemption all of
the debt securities of the series, provided that all of the debt securities of
the series are by their terms to become due and payable within one year. No
opinion of counsel or ruling from the Internal Revenue Service is required in
this case.
"U.S. Government Obligations" means generally (a) direct obligations of the
United States of America for the payment of which its full faith and credit is
pledged or (b) obligations of a person controlled or supervised by and acting as
an agency or instrumentality of the United States of America the timely payment
of which is unconditionally guaranteed as a full faith and credit obligation by
the United States of America, which, in either case, are not callable or
redeemable at the option of the issuer of the obligations.
"Eligible Obligations" means obligations which, when deposited, cause the debt
securities to be rated in the highest generic long-term debt rating category
assigned to legally defeased debt by one or more nationally recognized rating
agencies.
If there is any discharge of debt securities under the terms of the indenture
described above, the holders of the discharged debt securities will be able to
look solely to the trust fund, and not to Cooper or the Guarantor, for payments
of principal, any premium, and any interest.
15
THE TRUSTEE
JPMorgan Chase Bank is the trustee under the indenture. The trustee performs
services for us and transacts other banking business, including the extension of
credit, with us from time to time in the normal course of business.
GOVERNING LAW
The indenture provides that it, the debt securities and the guarantee of the
debt securities will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws
of the State of New York.
BOOK-ENTRY SECURITIES
The debt securities offered by this prospectus and any applicable prospectus
supplement may be issued in whole or in part in book-entry form. In that case,
beneficial owners of the debt securities will not receive certificates
representing their ownership interests in the debt securities, except in the
event the book-entry system for the debt securities is discontinued. Debt
securities issued in book-entry form will be evidenced by one or more global
securities that will be deposited with, or on behalf of, a depository identified
in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to the debt securities. The
Depository Trust Company is expected to serve as depository. A global debt
security may not be transferred except as a whole between the depository and one
or more of its nominees or a successor. Global debt securities may be issued in
either registered or bearer form and in either temporary or permanent form. The
specific terms of the depository arrangement with respect to a class or series
of debt securities that differ from the terms described in this prospectus will
be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we
anticipate that the following provisions will apply to depository arrangements.
Upon the issuance of a global debt security, the depository for the global debt
security or its nominee will credit on its book-entry registration and transfer
system the respective principal amounts of the individual securities represented
by the global debt security to the respective accounts of the beneficial owners
of the individual debt securities, who are called "participants." The accounts
will be designated by the underwriters, dealers or agents with respect to the
debt securities or by us if we directly offer and sell the debt securities.
Ownership of a beneficial interest in a global debt security will be limited to
the depository's participants and will be shown on the records maintained by the
depository or its nominee. Transfers of that ownership interest will be effected
only through those records. Others may hold a beneficial interest in a global
debt security but only through the ownership of a participant. Ownership and any
transfer of that beneficial ownership will be shown on and effected through
records maintained by the participant. The laws of some states require that
certain purchasers of debt securities take physical delivery of the debt
securities in definitive form. These laws may impair the ability to own, pledge
or transfer beneficial interests in a global debt security.
So long as the depository for a global debt security or its nominee is the
registered owner of the global debt security, the depository or nominee, as the
case may be, will be considered the sole owner of the debt securities
represented by the global debt security for all purposes under the applicable
instrument defining the rights of a holder of the underlying debt securities.
Except as described below or in the applicable prospectus supplement,
participants, or anyone holding through a participant, will not be entitled to
have any of the underlying debt securities registered in their names, will not
receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of any of the underlying
debt securities in definitive form and will
16
not be considered the owners of the underlying securities under the applicable
instrument defining the rights of the holders of the underlying debt securities.
Amounts payable with respect to the underlying debt securities will be paid to
the depository or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner of
the global debt security. Neither we, nor any of our officers or directors, nor
any paying agent or security registrar for an individual series of debt
securities will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the
records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership
interests in a global debt security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing
any records relating to the beneficial ownership interests.
We expect that the depository for a series of debt securities issued in
book-entry form, upon receipt of any payment of interest, principal, premium (if
any) or any other amount in respect of a global debt security, will immediately
credit its participants' accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to
their respective interests in the global debt security as shown on the records
of the depository or its nominee. We also expect that payments by participants
to owners of beneficial interests in the global debt security held through the
participants will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices,
as is the case with debt securities held for the account of customers in bearer
form or registered in "street name." Such payments will be the responsibility of
the participants.
If a depository for a series of debt securities is at any time unwilling, unable
or ineligible to continue as depository and a successor depository is not
appointed by us within 90 days, we will issue individual debt securities of that
series in exchange for the global debt security representing the series of debt
securities. In addition, we may, at any time and in our sole discretion, subject
to any limitations described in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to
the debt securities, determine not to have any debt securities of a series
represented by one or more global debt securities and, in such event, will issue
individual debt securities of the series in exchange for the global debt
security or debt securities representing that series of debt securities.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We may sell the debt securities through underwriters, through agents or dealers,
directly to purchasers or any combination of these. Any dealer or agent may be
deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933.
The applicable prospectus supplement will show the terms relating to a
particular series of the debt securities, including the name or names of any
underwriters or agents, the purchase price and the proceeds to us from the sale,
any underwriting discounts and other items constituting underwriters'
compensation or commissions payable to agents, the initial public offering price
and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers, and
any securities exchanges on which the debt securities of the series may be
listed. If we use an agent or agents in the sale, the agent or agents will be
acting on a best efforts basis during their appointment.
If we use underwriters in the sale, the underwriters will acquire the debt
securities for their own account and may resell the debt securities in one or
more transactions in the future. The underwriters may resell the debt securities
at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of
sale, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices.
The debt securities may be offered to the public either through underwriting
syndicates represented by managing underwriters or by underwriters without a
syndicate. Unless otherwise described in the prospectus supplement, the
underwriters' obligations to purchase debt securities will be dependent on
various conditions and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all the
debt securities of the series if any are purchased. Any initial public offering
price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers
may be changed.
17
We may authorize agents, underwriters or dealers to solicit offers by specified
institutions to purchase debt securities from us at the public offering price
shown in the prospectus supplement under delayed delivery contracts requiring
payment and delivery on a specified future date. The contracts will contain only
those conditions shown in the prospectus supplement, and the prospectus
supplement will show the commissions we will pay for solicitation of the
contracts. The underwriters and other persons soliciting the contracts will have
no responsibility for the validity or performance of the contracts.
We may be required to indemnify agents and underwriters against some civil
liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933 or to
contribute to payments that the agents or underwriters may be required to make
for the liabilities. Agents and underwriters may be customers of, engage in
transactions with, or perform services for, us in the ordinary course of
business.
LEGAL MATTERS
Certain legal matters in connection with the debt securities to be offered by
this prospectus, including their legality, have been and will be passed upon by
Squire, Sanders & Dempsey L.L.P., Cleveland, Ohio. Certain legal matters in
connection with Bermuda law, including the legality of the guarantee of the debt
securities, will be passed upon by Appleby, Spurling & Kempe, Hamilton, Bermuda.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Cooper Industries, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Cooper
Industries, Inc. as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the related consolidated
income statements and statements of shareholders' equity and cash flows for each
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2001. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Cooper
Industries, Inc. at December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the consolidated results of
its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 2001, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States.

The Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements are an integral part of
these statements.

COOPER INDUSTRIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION: The Consolidated Financial Statements include the
accounts of Cooper and its majority-owned subsidiaries. Affiliated companies are
accounted for on the equity method where Cooper owns 20% to 50% of the affiliate
unless significant economic, political or contractual considerations indicate
that the cost method is appropriate.
USE OF ESTIMATES: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
CASH EQUIVALENTS: For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows,
Cooper considers all investments purchased with original maturities of three
months or less to be cash equivalents.
INVENTORIES: Inventories are carried at cost or, if lower, net realizable value.
On the basis of current costs, 61% and 64% of inventories at December 31, 2001
and 2000, respectively were carried on the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method. The
remaining inventories are carried on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT: Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost.
Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the related assets
using primarily the straight-line method. This method is applied to group asset
accounts, which in general have the following lives: buildings -- 10 to 40
years; machinery and equipment -- 3 to 18 years; and tooling, dies, patterns and
other -- 3 to 10 years.
GOODWILL: With minor exceptions, goodwill is amortized over 40 years from the
respective acquisition dates. At each balance sheet date presented, management
reviews the carrying value of long-lived assets and goodwill at the lowest level
feasible whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount may not be recoverable. If this review indicates that the carrying amount
will not be recoverable, as determined based on undiscounted cash flows over the
remaining amortization periods, an impairment loss is recognized. The impairment
loss equals the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the asset.
The fair value of the asset is based on prices for similar assets, if available,
or discounted cash flows.
REVENUE RECOGNITION: Cooper recognizes revenues in accordance with invoice
terms, typically when products are shipped. Accruals for sales returns and other
allowances are provided at the time of shipment based upon experience. Shipping
and handling costs of $125.5 million, $124.6 million and $96.2 million in 2001,
2000 and 1999, respectively, are reported as a reduction of revenues in the
consolidated income statements.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENDITURES: Research and development expenditures are
charged to earnings as incurred. Research and development expenses were $55.8
million, $57.7 million and $54.0 million in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
COMMON STOCK BASED COMPENSATION: Cooper follows the intrinsic value method of
accounting for stock based compensation plans as prescribed by Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.
IMPACT OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS: In June 2001, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141,
Business Combinations ("SFAS No. 141") and No. 142, Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets ("SFAS No. 142"). SFAS 141 requires the use of the purchase
method of accounting for
F-6
COOPER INDUSTRIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. The adoption of this
statement had no impact on Cooper's consolidated results of operations and
financial position. SFAS No. 142 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2001. Cooper will adopt the statement effective January 1, 2002.
Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite
lives will no longer be amortized but will be subject to annual impairment
tests. Other intangible assets will continue to be amortized over their useful
lives. In 2002, Cooper will perform the first step of the required two-step
impairment tests of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets as of
January 1, 2002 and has not yet determined what the effect of these tests will
be on its consolidated results of operations and financial position.
In October 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. The statement is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Cooper will adopt this statement
effective January 1, 2002. This statement establishes a single accounting model
for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, whether previously held and
used or newly acquired. Additionally, the statement expands the definition of a
discontinued operation from a segment of business to a component of an entity
that has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale and can be clearly
distinguished, operationally and for reporting purposes, from the rest of the
entity. The results of operations of a component classified as held for sale
shall be reported in discontinued operations in the period incurred. Adoption of
this statement will not have a significant effect on Cooper's consolidated
results of operations and financial position.
NOTE 2: NONRECURRING CHARGES
During the fourth quarter of 2001, Cooper committed to the
consolidation or closure of certain Electrical Products segment facilities and
recorded a provision for severance and other related costs of these announced
actions of $7.1 million. In addition, the Company concluded during 2001 that
various Electrical Products segment assets comprising $8.5 million of net book
value provided no future benefit to Cooper and were therefore fully impaired.
Also during the 2001 fourth quarter, Cooper recorded a charge of $8.4 million to
provide for the costs of assimilation of certain separate product lines rendered
partially duplicative as a result of previous Electrical Products segment
business acquisition activities. The 2001 fourth quarter nonrecurring charge for
the Electrical Products segment totals $24.0 million.
During the fourth quarter of 2001, Cooper recorded a General Corporate
nonrecurring charge of $50.1 million. Cooper concluded that the net book values
of certain software, hardware and other technology investments should be fully
impaired, in consideration of ongoing refinement and development of Company
information and technology systems capabilities. Also during the 2001 fourth
quarter, Cooper provided for the costs associated with performing the Company's
review of strategic alternatives. See Note 20 for additional information
regarding the company's review of strategic alternatives.
The nonrecurring charges for 2001 total $74.1 million, or $44.5 million
after taxes ($.47 per diluted common share). Of the total $74.1 million, $35.2
million remains to be expended at December 31, 2001. A total of 77 salaried and
196 hourly positions will be eliminated in 2002 as a result of these planned
consolidation actions.
During the first quarter of 1999, Cooper completed a previously
announced voluntary severance program and accrued an additional $5.8 million
primarily representing the voluntary severance program premium over the
severance provided under Cooper's established policies. Cooper also accrued $1.5
million related to severance and other costs for facility closures announced
during the first quarter of 1999. In addition, during 1999, Cooper reduced legal
accruals by $2.8 million related to the favorable settlement of certain
litigation concerning lead in mini-blinds and reassessment of the required
reserve. Cooper also reached agreement and received $0.8 million under an
insurance policy related to the unsuccessful offer to acquire TLG plc in 1998.
Since the original charge related to the litigation was included as a
nonrecurring item in the Tools & Hardware segment and the costs related to TLG
plc were reflected as a nonrecurring corporate item, the reversal of the accrual
and the reimbursement of the expenses were reflected as nonrecurring items. The
net nonrecurring items for 1999 resulted in a $3.7 million charge before income
taxes and resulted in an after-tax charge of $2.4 million ($.02 per diluted
common share).

and amounts accrued for these programs have been satisfied.
NOTE 3: CHARGE RELATED TO DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
In October 1998, Cooper sold its Automotive Products business to
Federal-Mogul Corporation ("Federal-Mogul"). These discontinued businesses
(including the Abex product line obtained from Pneumo-Abex Corporation
("Pneumo") in 1994) were operated through subsidiary companies, and the stock of
those subsidiaries was sold to Federal-Mogul pursuant to a Purchase and Sale
Agreement dated August 17, 1998 ("1998 Agreement"). In conjunction with the
sale, Federal-Mogul indemnified Cooper for certain liabilities of these
subsidiary companies, including liabilities related to the Abex product line and
any potential liability that Cooper may have to Pneumo pursuant to a 1994 Mutual
Guaranty Agreement between Cooper and Pnuemo. On October 1, 2001, Federal-Mogul
and several of its affiliates filed a Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition and
indicated that Federal-Mogul may not honor the indemnification obligations to
Cooper. As of the date of this filing, Federal-Mogul had not yet made a decision
whether to reject the 1998 Agreement, which includes the indemnification to
Cooper. If Federal-Mogul rejects the 1998 Agreement, Cooper will be relieved of
its future obligations under the 1998 Agreement, including specific indemnities
relating to payment of taxes and certain obligations regarding insurance for its
former Automotive Products businesses. To the extent Cooper is obligated to
Pneumo for any asbestos-related claims arising from the Abex product line ("Abex
Claims"), Cooper has rights, confirmed by Pneumo, to significant insurance for
such claims. Based on information provided by representatives of Federal-Mogul,
from August 28, 1998 through December 31, 2001, a total of 75,152 Abex Claims
were filed, of which 16,974 claims have been resolved leaving 58,178 Abex Claims
pending at December 31, 2001, that are the responsibility of Federal-Mogul.
Since August 28, 1998, the average indemnity payment for resolved Abex Claims
was $908 before insurance. A total of $25.5 million was spent on defense costs
for the period August 28, 1998 through December 31, 2001. Historically, existing
insurance coverage has provided 50% to 80% of the total defense and indemnity
payments for Abex claims. Since the October 1, 2001 bankruptcy filing by
Federal-Mogul through December 31, 2001, a total of 3,541 Abex Claims have been
filed.
With the assistance of independent advisors, Cooper has completed a
thorough analysis of its potential exposure for asbestos liabilities in the
event Federal-Mogul rejects the 1998 Agreement. At this time, the manner in
which this issue ultimately will be resolved is not known. Based on Cooper's
analysis of its contingent liability exposure resulting from Federal-Mogul's
bankruptcy, Cooper concluded that an additional fourth-quarter 2001
discontinued-operations provision of $30 million after-tax, or $.32 per share,
was appropriate to reflect the potential net financial impact of this issue.
This conclusion is based on a review of the Abex claims history, existing
insurance coverage, the contractual indemnities and other facts determined to
date. Cooper is preserving its rights as a creditor for breach of
Federal-Mogul's indemnification to Cooper and its rights against all
Federal-Mogul subsidiaries. Cooper intends to take all actions to seek a
resolution of the indemnification issues and future handling of the Abex-related
claims within the Federal-Mogul bankruptcy proceedings.
NOTE 4: ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES
During 2001, Cooper received purchase price adjustments of $9.8 million
net, primarily related to businesses acquired prior to 2001.
In 2000, Cooper completed two large acquisitions and three small
product-line acquisitions in its Electrical Products segment and one small
acquisition in its Tools & Hardware segment for an aggregate cost of $578.4
million, subject to adjustment as provided in the acquisition agreements. A
total of $378.2 million in goodwill was recorded,
F-8
COOPER INDUSTRIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
including an additional $23.2 million in 2001, with respect to the acquisitions.
In March 2000, Cooper acquired Eagle Electric for a total cost of $124.6
million. Eagle Electric manufactures and sells electrical wiring devices
including switches, receptacles, plugs and connectors, cords and other
electrical accessories to the residential and commercial markets. In May 2000,
Cooper acquired B-Line Systems for a total cost of $430.6 million. B-Line
Systems manufactures and markets support systems and enclosures for electrical,
mechanical and telecommunications/data applications.
In 1999, Cooper completed eight acquisitions in its Electrical Products
segment and two small acquisitions in its Tools & Hardware segment for an
aggregate cost of $443.8 million. The acquisitions include two businesses in the
United Kingdom and a business in France that expanded the product offerings of
the Cooper European based division, three domestic lighting businesses and four
other small product-line acquisitions. A total of $354.4 million in goodwill was
recorded, including an additional $16.2 million in 2000, with respect to the
acquisitions.
The acquisitions have been accounted for as purchases and the results
of the acquisitions are included in Cooper's consolidated income statements
since the respective acquisition dates. The pro forma net income and earnings
per share for 2000 and 1999, assuming the acquisitions had been made at the
beginning of each year, would not be materially different from reported net
income and earnings per share.
On October 9, 1998, Cooper completed the sale of its Automotive
Products segment for cash proceeds of $1.9 billion. During 1999, Cooper received
an additional $149.1 million representing reimbursement of Cooper's pre-closing
cash funding of international operations and the additional cash invested in the
Automotive Products segment between March 31, 1998 and October 9, 1998.

=========== ===========
At December 31, 2001, Cooper had accruals of $13.0 million with respect
to potential product liability claims and $46.3 million with respect to
potential environmental liabilities, including $23.6 million classified as a
long-term liability, based on Cooper's current estimate of the most likely
amount of losses that it believes will be incurred.
The product liability accrual consists of $3.2 million of known claims
with respect to ongoing operations, $4.9 million of known claims for previously
divested operations and $4.9 million which represents an estimate of claims that
have been incurred but not yet reported. While Cooper is generally self-insured
with respect to product liability claims, Cooper has insurance coverage for
individual 2001 claims above $3.0 million.
Environmental remediation costs are accrued based on estimates of known
environmental remediation exposures. Such accruals are adjusted as information
develops or circumstances change. The environmental liability
F-10
COOPER INDUSTRIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
accrual includes $7.1 million related to sites owned by Cooper and $39.2 million
for retained environmental liabilities related to sites previously owned by
Cooper and third-party sites where Cooper was a potentially responsible party.
Third-party sites usually involve multiple contributors where Cooper's liability
will be determined based on an estimate of Cooper's proportionate responsibility
for the total cleanup. The amount actually accrued for such sites is based on
these estimates as well as an assessment of the financial capacity of the other
potentially responsible parties.
It has been Cooper's consistent practice to include the entire product
liability accrual and a significant portion of the environmental liability
accrual as current liabilities, although only approximately 15-25% of the
balance classified as current is normally spent on an annual basis. The annual
effect on earnings for product liability is essentially equal to the amounts
disbursed. In the case of the environmental liability, the annual expense is
considerably smaller than the disbursements, since the vast majority of Cooper's
environmental liability has been recorded in connection with acquired companies.
The change in the accrual balances from year to year reflects the effect of
acquisitions and divestitures as well as normal expensing and funding.
Cooper has not utilized any form of discounting in establishing its
product or environmental liability accruals. While both product liability and
environmental liability accruals involve estimates that can have wide ranges of
potential liability, Cooper has taken a proactive approach and has managed the
costs in both of these areas over the years. Cooper does not believe that the
nature of its products, its production processes, or the materials or other
factors involved in the manufacturing process subject Cooper to unusual risks or
exposures for product or environmental liability. Cooper's greatest exposure to
inaccuracy in its estimates is with respect to the constantly changing
definitions of what constitutes an environmental liability or an acceptable
level of cleanup.
In connection with acquisitions accounted for using the purchase method
of accounting, Cooper records, to the extent appropriate, accruals for the costs
of closing duplicate facilities, severing redundant personnel and integrating
the acquired business into existing Cooper operations. Significant accruals
include plant shut-down and realignment costs. The following table summarizes
the accrual balances and activity during each of the last three years:

COOPER INDUSTRIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
During the three years ended December 31, 2001, accruals reversed to
income were insignificant. The annual spending was primarily related to
downsizing and consolidating facilities. The 2000 acquisitions-initial
allocation amount is related to the Eagle Electric acquisition and includes
approximately $24.2 million for severance and related costs to terminate
personnel and $4.4 million of one-time additional costs associated with shutting
down manufacturing operations and vacating existing facilities.
Acquisitions-final allocation adjustment represents adjustments to goodwill for
finalization of the purchase price allocations recorded in the previous year.
The 2001 acquisitions - final allocation adjustment amount includes additional
severance and related costs to terminate personnel and facility shut-down costs
in connection with the Eagle Electric and B-Line Systems acquisitions.

Cooper has U.S. committed credit facilities of $990 million, $440
million of which mature in 2002 and $550 million of which mature in 2004. At
December 31, 2001, Cooper had $648 million of its $990 million U.S. committed
credit facilities available, after considering commercial paper backup. At
December 31, 2000, $547.9 million of its total $1,040 million U.S. committed
credit facilities was available after considering commercial paper backup. The
agreements for the credit facilities require that Cooper maintain certain
financial ratios, including a prescribed limit on debt as a percentage of total
capitalization. Retained earnings are unrestricted as to the payment of
dividends, except to the extent that payment would cause a violation of the
prescribed limit on the debt-to-total capitalization ratio.
During 1999, Cooper completed a shelf registration statement to issue
up to $500 million of debt securities. At December 31, 2001, all $500 million of
the shelf registration was available to be issued.
Interest rates on Cooper's commercial paper were generally 2.6% and
2.8% below the U.S. prime rate during 2001 and 2000, respectively. Total
interest paid during 2001, 2000 and 1999 was $85 million, $96 million and $63
million, respectively.
Commercial paper of $280 million and $400 million at December 31, 2001
and 2000, respectively, was classified as long-term debt reflecting Cooper's
intention to refinance these amounts during the twelve-month period following
the balance sheet date through either continued short-term borrowing or
utilization of available credit facilities.

COOPER INDUSTRIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Maturities of long-term debt for the five years subsequent to December

$17.9 million, respectively. The future net minimum lease payments under capital
leases are not significant.
Cooper has entered into various operating lease agreements, primarily
for manufacturing, warehouse and sales office facilities and equipment.
Generally, the leases include renewal provisions and rental payments may be
adjusted for increases in taxes, insurance and maintenance related to the
property. Rent expense for all operating leases was $40.1 million, $37.1 million
and $32.9 million during 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
At December 31, 2001, minimum annual rental commitments under
noncancellable operating leases were $31.1 million in 2002, $24.7 million in
2003, $15.1 million in 2004, $12.2 million in 2005, $10.4 million in 2006 and

NOTE 9: COMMON AND PREFERRED STOCK
COMMON STOCK
At December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, 250,000,000 shares of Common stock
were authorized of which 93,761,587, 93,413,244 and 94,199,620 shares were
issued and outstanding at December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. During
the year ended December 31, 2001, Cooper purchased 1,000,000 shares of treasury
stock at an average price of $41.95 per share and 1,348,343 shares were issued
primarily in connection with employee stock plans. During the year ended
December 31, 2000, Cooper purchased 1,138,500 shares of treasury stock at an
average price of $34.52 per share and 352,124 shares were issued primarily in
connection with employee stock plans. During the year ended December 31, 1999,
Cooper purchased 800,000 shares of treasury stock at an average price of $54.99
per share and 750,869 shares were issued primarily in connection with employee
stock plans. At December 31, 2001, Cooper had 14,728,631 shares reserved for the
Dividend Reinvestment Plan, grants and exercises of stock options,
performance-based stock awards and subscriptions under the Employee Stock
Purchase Plan and other plans.
Under the terms of the Dividend Reinvestment Plan, any holder of Common
stock may elect to have cash dividends and up to $24,000 per year in cash
payments invested in Common stock without incurring any brokerage commissions or
service charges.
Under a Shareholder Rights Plan adopted by the Board of Directors in
1997, share purchase Rights were declared as a dividend at the rate of one Right
for each share of Common stock. Each Right entitles the holder to buy one
one-hundredth of a share of Series A Participating Preferred Stock at a purchase
price of $225 per one one-hundredth of a share or, in certain circumstances
Common stock having a value of twice the purchase price. Each Right becomes
exercisable only in certain circumstances constituting a potential change of
control on a basis considered inadequate by the Board of Directors. The Rights
expire August 5, 2007 and, at Cooper's option, may be redeemed prior to
expiration for $.01 per Right.
PREFERRED STOCK
At December 31, 2001 and 2000, Cooper was authorized to issue 1,340,750
shares of Preferred stock with no par value, 10,000,000 shares of $2.00 par
value Preferred stock and 2,821,079 shares of $1.00 par value Preferred stock.
At December 31, 2001 and 2000, no Preferred shares were issued or outstanding.

During 2001, options to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock were
granted to nonemployee directors at an exercise price of $33.66 and options for
4,000 shares were exercised at $42.13 to $49.03 per share. During 2000, options
to purchase 9,000 shares of Common stock were granted to nonemployee directors
at an exercise price of $35.19 and options for 4,000 shares were exercised at
$17.31 per share. During 1999, options to purchase 11,000 shares of Common stock
were granted to nonemployee directors at an exercise price of $49.03 and options
for 4,000 shares were exercised at $14.69 per share. At December 31, 2001,
options under the director plans for 23,000 Common shares were exercisable at
$42.13 to $63.78 per share, and 129,100 shares were reserved for future grants.
Participants in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan receive an option to
purchase Common stock at a price that is the lesser of 85% of the market value
on the offering date or 85% of the market value on the purchase date. On
September 10, 2001, a total of 311,452 shares were sold to employees at $44.63
per share. At December 31, 2001, subscriptions for 915,876 shares of Common
stock were outstanding at $34.07 per share or, if lower, 85% of the average
market price on September 8, 2003, which is the purchase date. At December 31,
2001, an aggregate of 2,423,976 shares of Common stock were reserved for future
issuance.
Cooper follows the intrinsic value method of accounting for stock-based
compensation plans as prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations.
Accordingly, no compensation expense is recognized under Cooper's fixed stock
option plans or Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Compensation expense of $2.7
million, $5.1 million and $6.1 million was recognized in the consolidated
financial statements during 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively for the
performance-based and restricted stock awards. If compensation expense for all
of Cooper's stock-based compensation plans was

Compensation, net income and earnings per share would have decreased by
approximately 2.0% in 2001, 2.1% in 2000 and 2.3% in 1999. The fair value was
estimated on the date of grant, using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model
with the following weighted average assumptions used for grants in 2001, 2000
and 1999 respectively: dividend yield of 3.5%, 3.5% and 3.0%, expected
volatility of 27.5%, 26.4% and 26.4%, risk free interest rates of 5.1%, 6.7% and
5.0% and expected lives of 7 years for 2001, 2000 and 1999.

tax return treatment of similar transactions executed in 1997 and prior years
that are being contested by the Internal Revenue Service. In light of the Fifth

(1) Cooper incurred a capital loss on the sale of the Automotive Products
segment. Cooper limited the amount of tax benefits recognized based on an
evaluation of the amount of capital loss carryforward that is expected to
be realized. The capital loss carryforward is available to offset capital
gains through 2003.
The U.S. Federal portion of the above provision includes U.S. tax
expected to be payable on the foreign portion of Cooper's income before income
taxes when such earnings are remitted. Cooper's liabilities at December 31, 2001
and 2000 include the additional U.S. tax estimated to be payable on
substantially all unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries.
NOTE 13: PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS
Cooper and its subsidiaries have numerous defined benefit pension plans
and other postretirement benefit plans. The benefits provided under Cooper's
various postretirement benefit plans other than pensions, all of which are
unfunded, include retiree medical care, dental care, prescriptions and life
insurance, with medical care accounting for approximately 90% of the total.
Current employees, unless grandfathered under plans assumed in acquisitions, are
not provided postretirement benefits other than pensions. The vast majority of
the annual other postretirement benefit expense is related to employees who are
already retired.

NOTE 14: COOPER SAVINGS AND EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLANS
All full-time domestic employees, except for certain bargaining unit
employees, are eligible to participate in the Cooper Retirement Savings and
Stock Ownership Plan ("CO-SAV"). Under the terms of the Plan, employee savings
deferrals are partially matched with contributions by Cooper of Common stock
consisting of either an allocation of shares in Cooper's Employee Stock
Ownership Plan ("ESOP") or treasury shares issued to the ESOP.
F-19
COOPER INDUSTRIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
The ESOP purchased Cooper Common stock which was financed through external
borrowings and loans from Cooper. The external ESOP debt matured in July 1999
and was fully repaid. The purchases funded by loans between the ESOP and Cooper
were treated as eliminated intercompany loans for financial statement purposes.
These intercompany loans were paid in full during 2001. Cooper made annual
contributions to the ESOP to fund the payment of principal and interest. As the
debt was repaid, unallocated shares were allocated to CO-SAV participants to
satisfy Cooper's matching obligation or to replace dividends on allocated shares
with Cooper Common shares in years prior to 2000.
Dividends paid on unallocated ESOP shares of $0.1 million, $0.5 million
and $1.0 million during 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively, were used to reduce
the amount of cash required to fund principal and interest payments on ESOP
debt. Dividends paid on allocated ESOP shares of $3.8 million during 1999 were
used to pay additional principal and interest payments in order to allocate
shares equivalent to the dividend amount to participants in the CO-SAV plan.
Cooper contributed an additional $8.4 million, $9.6 million and $13.5 million in
cash to the ESOP during 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively, to fund principal and
interest payments on ESOP debt.
The number of allocated, committed to be allocated, and unallocated
ESOP shares at December 31, 2001 and 2000 is summarized below.

Unallocated................................ -- 166,389 -- --
Shares purchased by the ESOP prior to 1994 are accounted for in
accordance with Statement of Position 76-3, Accounting Practices for Certain
Employee Stock Ownership Plans and Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 89-8,
Expense Recognition for Employee Stock Ownership Plans. Compensation expense is
equal to Cooper's CO-SAV matching obligation, adjusted for the difference
between the fair market value and cost of the shares committed to be allocated.
Compensation expense is reduced by the amount of dividends paid on unallocated
ESOP shares available for future matching. All shares issued to the ESOP are
considered outstanding for purposes of computing earnings per share.
Shares purchased by the ESOP in 1994 are accounted for in accordance
with Statement of Position 93-6, Employers' Accounting for Employee Stock
Ownership Plans ("SOP 93-6"). SOP 93-6 was effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 1993. Compensation expense is recognized at the fair value of
the shares committed to be allocated which is equal to the amount of Cooper's
CO-SAV matching obligation. Unearned employee stock ownership plan compensation
is credited as shares are committed to be allocated based on the cost of the
shares to the ESOP. The difference between the fair market value and cost of the
shares committed to be allocated is recorded as an adjustment to capital in
excess of par value. Dividends paid on unallocated shares are recorded as a
reduction of ESOP debt, accrued interest or accrued employee benefits.
Unallocated shares are not treated as outstanding in the earnings per share
computation.
Compensation expense for the CO-SAV plan and the ESOP was $23.0
million, $20.2 million and $18.6 million in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

NOTE 15: INDUSTRY SEGMENTS AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION
INDUSTRY SEGMENTS
Cooper's operations consist of two segments: Electrical Products and
Tools & Hardware. Markets for Cooper's products and services are worldwide, with
the United States being the largest market.
The Electrical Products segment manufactures, markets and sells
electrical and circuit protection products, including fittings, support systems,
enclosures, wiring devices, plugs, receptacles, lighting fixtures, fuses,
emergency lighting, fire detection systems and security products for use in
residential, commercial and industrial construction, maintenance and repair
applications. The segment also manufactures, markets and sells products for use
by utilities and in industry for electrical power transmission and distribution.
The Tools & Hardware segment manufactures, markets and sells hand tools
for industrial, construction and consumer markets; automated assembly systems
for industrial markets and electric and pneumatic industrial power tools for
general industry, primarily automotive and aerospace manufacturers.
The performance of businesses are evaluated at the segment level and
resources are allocated among the segments. The Cooper executive responsible for
each segment further allocates resources between the various division operating
units that compose the segment and, in international markets, determines the
integration of product lines and operations across division operating units. The
accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the
summary of significant accounting policies in Note 1. Cooper manages cash, debt
and income taxes centrally. Accordingly, Cooper evaluates performance of its
segments and operating units based on operating earnings exclusive of financing
activities and income taxes. Nonrecurring and unusual items are excluded from
the evaluations. The segments are managed separately because they manufacture
and distribute distinct products. Intersegment sales and related receivables for
each of the years presented were insignificant.

NOTE 16: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES, CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT
RISK AND FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
On January 1, 2001, Cooper adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
("SFAS No. 133"), as amended. SFAS No. 133 requires that all derivatives be
recognized as assets and liabilities and measured at fair value. For derivative
instruments that are not designated as hedges, the gain or loss on the
derivative is recognized in earnings currently. If the derivative is designated
as a fair value hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative and the offsetting
loss or gain on the hedged asset, liability or firm commitment is recognized in
earnings. For derivative instruments designated as a cash flow hedge, the
effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported
as a component of accumulated nonowner changes in equity and reclassified into
earnings in the same period that the hedged transaction affects earnings. The
ineffective portion of the gain or loss is immediately recognized in earnings.
The cumulative effect of adopting the new standard was not material to Cooper's
2001 consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
Cooper enters into foreign currency forward exchange contracts and
commodity futures contracts to reduce the risks of adverse changes in foreign
exchange rates and commodity prices. Cooper does not enter into speculative
derivative transactions.
As a result of having sales, purchases and certain intercompany
transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currencies used
by Cooper's businesses, Cooper is exposed to the effect of foreign exchange rate
changes on its cash flows and earnings. Cooper enters into foreign currency
forward exchange contracts to hedge significant foreign currency denominated
transactions for periods consistent with the terms of the underlying
transactions. Contracts generally have maturities that do not exceed one year.
Foreign currency forward exchange contracts executed to hedge a
recognized asset, liability or firm commitment are accounted for as fair value
hedges. The net gain on contracts designated as fair value hedges was not
material during 2001. Foreign currency forward exchange contracts executed to
hedge forecasted transactions are accounted for as cash flow hedges. The net
gain on contracts designated as cash flow hedges was not material in 2001.
Cooper also enters into certain foreign currency forward exchange contracts that
are not designated as hedges. These contracts are intended to reduce cash flow
volatility related to intercompany financing transactions.
Cooper enters into commodity futures contracts to reduce the volatility
of price fluctuations on a portion of its forecasted annual raw material
purchases. These instruments are designated as cash flow hedges. The net loss on
commodity futures contracts was not material in 2001.
F-23
COOPER INDUSTRIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Gains or losses on derivative instruments are reported in the same line
item as the underlying hedged transaction in the consolidated statements of
income. At December 31, 2001, Cooper expects to reclassify $0.3 million of net
losses on derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges from accumulated
nonowner changes in equity to earnings during the next twelve months. The amount
of discontinued cash flow hedges during 2001 was not material.
The table below summarizes, by currency, the U. S. dollar equivalent
contractual amounts of Cooper's forward exchange contracts at December 31, 2001
and 2000.

OTHER INSTRUMENTS
In the normal course of business, Cooper executes letters of credit,
performance bonds and other guarantees that ensure Cooper's performance or
payment to third parties that are not reflected in the consolidated balance
sheets. The aggregate notional value of these instruments was $112.0 million and
$111.9 million at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. In the past, no
significant claims have been made against these financial instruments.
Management believes the likelihood of demand for payment under these
instruments is minimal and expects no material losses to occur in connection
with these instruments.
The following transactions were implemented to partially align Cooper's
interest rate exposure profile with its short term interest rate expectations
in an economically efficient manner that is consistent with its tax position.
During 2001, Cooper sold at a premium U.S. Treasury securities due
November 2002. Cooper obtained these securities pursuant to a repurchase
agreement containing provisions that limit Cooper's interest rate exposure under
this agreement to a maximum cost of $7.0 million. The repurchase agreement will
be settled immediately prior to the maturity of the securities. Settlement of
this transaction will not require any financing by Cooper and this transaction
does not create an asset or liability, other than as described above. The face
amount of the securities was $1.0 billion.
Also during 2001, Cooper purchased at a discount Federal Home Loan
Mortgage Corporation Notes due February 2003 and immediately transferred these
notes pursuant to a securities loan agreement. Subsequently, Cooper eliminated
any potential cost under the securities loan agreement and realized a gain of
approximately $1.9 million. The securities loan agreement will be settled
immediately prior to the maturity of the notes. Settlement of this transaction
will not require any financing by Cooper and this transaction does not create a
liability. The face amount of the notes was $480 million. In 1999 Cooper entered
into a similar executory contract. Upon settlement of the contract in 2000,
Cooper realized a $7.3 million cost, its maximum exposure under the 1999
executory contract.

CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are
limited due to the wide variety of customers as well as their dispersion across
many different geographic areas with no one customer receivable exceeding 4.8%
of accounts receivable.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS OTHER THAN DERIVATIVES
Cooper's financial instruments other than derivative instruments, consist
primarily of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payables and
debt instruments. The book values of cash and cash equivalents, trade
receivables and trade payables are considered to be representative of their
respective fair values. Cooper had approximately $1.3 billion and $1.5 billion
of debt instruments at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The book value
of these instruments was approximately equal to fair value at December 31, 2001
and 2000.

NOTE 20: OTHER EVENTS
On August 1, 2001, Danaher Corporation ("Danaher") announced it had made
an unsolicited proposal to Cooper for a merger through a stock and cash
transaction valued by Danaher at $54 to $58 per Cooper share, subject to
conducting due diligence procedures. On August 8, 2001, Cooper's Board of
Directors unanimously rejected Danaher's proposal and authorized management to
explore all strategic alternatives that would maximize shareholder value
including mergers, sales, strategic alliances, acquisitions or other similar
strategic alternatives.
On February 13, 2002, Cooper announced that it completed its strategic
alternatives review process. After careful review of all the available
alternatives with management and its financial advisors, Cooper's Board of
Directors concluded that it is in the best interests of Cooper's shareholders to
move forward with its plan to reincorporate in Bermuda, as previously announced
on June 11, 2001. Cooper's announcement noted that the strategic alternatives
review process was very careful, deliberate and complete in analyzing how best
to maximize shareholder value; however, as a result of intervening circumstances
including the tragic events of September 11, 2001, the bankruptcy of
Federal-Mogul and a very difficult business environment, Cooper received no
definitive proposals to acquire the Company as a whole or in parts.
On May 22, 2002, Cooper completed its reorganization plan and changed its
place of incorporation from Ohio to Bermuda. The reorganization was effected
through the merger of Cooper Mergerco, Inc., an Ohio corporation, into Cooper.
Cooper was the surviving company in the merger and became an indirect,
wholly-owned subsidiary of Cooper Industries, Ltd. ("Cooper Bermuda"). All
outstanding shares of Cooper common stock were automatically converted to Cooper
Bermuda Class A common shares. Cooper Bermuda and its subsidiaries continue to
conduct the business previously conducted by Cooper and its subsidiaries. The
reorganization will be accounted for as a reorganization of entities under
common control and accordingly, does not result in changes in the historical
consolidated carrying amounts of assets, liabilities and shareholders' equity.
