EATON CORPORATION

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Amounts are in millions unless indicated otherwise (per share data assume dilution).


Note 1.	BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Eaton Corporation (Eaton or Company) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information, the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) have been made that are necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements for the interim periods.

This Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Eaton’s 2010 Form 10-K. The interim period results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Management has evaluated subsequent events through the date this Form 10-Q was filed with the SEC.

On January 27, 2011 , Eaton’s Board of Directors announced a two-for-one stock split of the Company’s common shares effective in the form of a 100% stock dividend . The record date for the stock split was February 7, 2011 , and the additional shares were distributed on February 28, 2011 . Accordingly, all per share amounts, weighted-average shares outstanding, and equity-based compensation presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes have been adjusted retroactively to reflect the stock split.

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Note 5.	DEBT

On June 16, 2011 , Eaton completed the issuance of $300 floating rate senior unsecured Notes due June 16, 2014 (the Notes). The Notes bear interest annually at a floating rate, reset quarterly, equal to the three -month LIBOR rate for U.S. dollars plus 0.33% ( 33 basis points). Interest is payable quarterly in arrears beginning on September 16, 2011. The Notes contain a provision which requires the Company to make an offer to purchase all or any part of the Notes at a purchase price of 101% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest if certain change of control events occur. The Notes are subject to customary non-financial covenants.

Eaton completed the refinancing of a $500 , five -year revolving credit facility in June 2011 (the facility). This refinancing maintains long-term revolving credit facilities at a total of $1.5 billion. The revolving credit facility is used to support commercial paper borrowings.

During the second quarter of 2011 , Eaton contributed $100 into a Voluntary Employee Benefit Association trust for the pre-funding of postretirement Medicare Part D prescription drug benefits for the Company's eligible United States employees and retirees. The contribution was made as part of the Company's strategy to improve the funding of its pension and postretirement obligations. As part of that strategy, in the first quarter of 2011 , the Company contributed $250 to its United States qualified pension plans.


Note 7.	LEGAL CONTINGENCIES

In December 2010 , a Brazilian court held that a judgment obtained by a Brazilian company, Raysul, against another Brazilian company, Saturnia, which was sold by Eaton in 2006 , could be enforced against Eaton Ltda. This judgment is based on an alleged violation of an agency agreement between Raysul and Saturnia. At June 30, 2011 , the Company has a total accrual of 65 Brazilian Reais related to this matter, comprised of 60 Brazilian Reais recognized in the fourth quarter of 2010 ( $39 based on current exchange rates) with an additional 5 Brazilian Reais recognized in 2011 ( $3 based on current exchange rates) due to subsequent accruals for interest and inflation. The Company expects that any sum it may be required to pay in connection with this matter will not exceed the amount of the recorded liability. In 2010 , Eaton filed motions for clarification with the Brazilian court of appeals which were denied on April 6, 2011 . On July 1, 2011, Eaton Ltda. filed an appeal of this decision to the Superior Court of Justice in Brasilia.

On October 5, 2006 , ZF Meritor LLC and Meritor Transmission Corporation (collectively, Meritor) filed an action against Eaton in the United States District Court for Delaware. The action sought damages, which would be trebled under United States antitrust laws, as well as injunctive relief and costs. The suit alleged that Eaton engaged in anti-competitive conduct against Meritor in the sale of heavy-duty truck transmissions in North America. Following a four week trial on liability only, on October 8, 2009 , the jury returned a verdict in favor of Meritor. Eaton firmly believes that it competes fairly and honestly for business in the marketplace, and that at no time did it act in an anti-competitive manner. During an earlier stage in the case, the judge concluded that damage estimates contained in a report filed by Meritor were not based on reliable data and the report was specifically excluded from the case. On November 3, 2009 , Eaton filed a motion for judgment as a matter of law and to set aside the verdict. That motion was denied on March 10, 2011 . On March 14, 2011, Eaton filed a motion for entry of final judgment of liability, zero damages and no injunctive relief. On June 9, 2011 , that motion was denied. On July 8, 2011 , Eaton filed a motion for interlocutory appeal. Accordingly, an estimate of any potential loss related to this action cannot be made at this time.

Eaton is subject to a broad range of claims, administrative and legal proceedings such as lawsuits that relate to contractual allegations, tax audits, patent infringement, personal injuries (including asbestos claims), antitrust matters and employment-related matters. Although it is not possible to predict with certainty the outcome or cost of these matters, the Company believes they will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements.


Note 8.	INCOME TAXES

The effective income tax rate for the second quarter of 2011 was 14.7% compared to 9.0% for the second quarter of 2010 and 14.6% for the first six months of 2011 compared to 12.2% for the first six months of 2010 . Higher effective tax rates in both the second quarter and first six months of 2011 were primarily attributable to greater levels of income in high tax jurisdictions, particularly in the United States, due to improved economic conditions.

Table of Contents


Note 9.	EQUITY

Eaton has a common share repurchase plan that authorizes the repurchase of 10 million common shares. The shares are expected to be repurchased over time, depending on market conditions, the market price of the Company’s common shares, the Company’s capital levels and other considerations. During the first six months of 2011 , 1.3 million common shares were repurchased in the open market at a total cost of $68 . No common shares were repurchased in the open market in the first six months of 2010 .

The changes in Shareholders’ equity follow:



	Eaton shareholders’ equity			Noncontrolling interests			Total equity
Balance at December 31, 2010	$	7,362		$	41		$	7,403

Net income	623			1			624

Balance at June 30, 2011	$	8,152		$	35		$	8,187

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) consists primarily of net income, foreign currency translation and related hedging instruments, changes in unrecognized costs of pension and other postretirement benefits, and changes in the effective portion of open derivative contracts designated as cash flow hedges. The following table summarizes the components of Comprehensive income (loss):



	Three months ended June 30						Six months ended June 30
	2011			2010			2011			2010
Net income	$	338		$	229		$	624		$	385

Net Income per Common Share

A summary of the calculation of net income per common share attributable to common shareholders follows:



	Three months ended June 30				Six months ended June 30
(Shares in millions)	2011		2010		2011		2010
Net income attributable to Eaton common shareholders	$	336	$	226	$	623	$	381

Weighted-average number of common shares outstanding-diluted	345.7		340.4		345.7		339.8
Less dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock awards	4.8		5.7		5.2		5.3
Weighted-average number of common shares outstanding-basic	340.9		334.7		340.5		334.5

Net income per common share
Diluted	$	0.97	$	0.66	$	1.80	$	1.12
Basic	0.99		0.67		1.83		1.14

For the second quarter and first six months of 2011 , 0.7 million stock options, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per common share because the exercise price of the options exceeded the average market price of the common shares during the period and their effect, accordingly, would have been antidilutive. For the second quarter and first six months of 2010 , 7.2 million stock options, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per common share because the exercise price of the options exceeded the average market price of the common shares during the period and their effect, accordingly, would have been antidilutive.


Note 10.	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is measured based on an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to satisfy a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, a fair value hierarchy is established, which categorizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: (Level 1) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; (Level 2) inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and (Level 3) unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

A summary of financial instruments recognized at fair value, and the fair value measurements used, follows:



	Total		Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1)		Other observable inputs (Level 2)		Unobservable inputs (Level 3)
June 30, 2011
Cash	$	282	$	282	$	—	$	—
Short-term investments	601		601		—		—
Net derivative contracts	61		—		61		—
Long-term debt converted to floating interest rates by interest rate swaps	44		—		44		—

December 31, 2010
Cash	$	333	$	333	$	—	$	—
Short-term investments	838		838		—		—
Net derivative contracts	69		—		69		—
Long-term debt converted to floating interest rates by interest rate swaps	42		—		42		—

Table of Contents

Eaton values its financial instruments using an industry standard market approach, in which prices and other relevant information is generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. No financial instruments were recognized using unobservable inputs.

Other Fair Value Measurements

Long-term debt and the current portion of long-term debt had a carrying value of $3,666 and fair value of $4,091 at June 30, 2011 compared to $3,386 and $3,787 , respectively, at December 31, 2010 .


Note 11.	DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

In the normal course of business, Eaton is exposed to certain risks related to fluctuations in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. The Company uses various derivative and non-derivative financial instruments, primarily interest rate swaps, foreign currency forward exchange contracts, foreign currency swaps and, to a lesser extent, commodity contracts, to manage risks from these market fluctuations. The instruments used by Eaton are straightforward, non-leveraged instruments. The counterparties to these instruments are financial institutions with strong credit ratings. Eaton maintains control over the size of positions entered into with any one counterparty and regularly monitors the credit rating of these institutions. Such instruments are not purchased and sold for trading purposes.

Derivative financial instruments are accounted for at fair value and recognized as assets or liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Accounting for the gain or loss resulting from the change in the fair value of the derivative financial instrument depends on whether it has been designated, and is effective, as part of a hedging relationship and, if so, as to the nature of the hedging activity. Eaton formally documents all relationships between derivative financial instruments accounted for as hedges and the hedged item, as well as its risk-management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge transaction. This process includes linking all derivative financial instruments to a recognized asset or liability, specific firm commitment, forecasted transaction, or net investment in a foreign operation. These financial instruments can be designated as:

•

Hedges of the change in the fair value of a recognized fixed-rate asset or liability, or the firm commitment to acquire such an asset or liability (a fair value hedge); for these hedges, the gain or loss from the derivative financial instrument, as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk, are recognized in income during the period of change in fair value.

•

Hedges of the variable cash flows of a recognized variable-rate asset or liability, or the forecasted acquisition of such an asset or liability (a cash flow hedge); for these hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss from the derivative financial instrument is recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified to income in the same period when the gain or loss on the hedged item is included in income.

•

Hedges of the foreign currency exposure related to a net investment in a foreign operation (a net investment hedge); for these hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss from the derivative financial instrument is recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified to income in the same period when the gain or loss related to the net investment in the foreign operation is included in income.

The gain or loss from a derivative financial instrument designated as a hedge that is effective is classified in the same line of the Consolidated Statements of Income as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item. The change in fair value of a derivative financial instrument that is not effective as a hedge is immediately recognized in income.

For derivatives that are not designated as a hedge, any gain or loss is immediately recognized in income. The majority of derivatives used in this manner relate to risks resulting from assets or liabilities denominated in a foreign currency and certain commodity contracts that arise in the normal course of business.

The foreign currency exchange contracts shown in the table above as derivatives not designated as hedges are primarily contracts entered into to manage foreign currency volatility or exposure on intercompany sales and loans. While Eaton does not elect hedge accounting treatment for these derivatives, Eaton targets managing 100% of the intercompany balance sheet exposure to minimize the effect of currency volatility related to the movement of goods and services in the normal course of its operations. This activity represents the great majority of these foreign currency exchange contracts.

ITEM 2.	MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Amounts are in millions of dollars or shares unless indicated otherwise (per share data assume dilution).

TWO-FOR-ONE STOCK SPLIT

On January 27, 2011, Eaton’s Board of Directors announced a two-for-one split of the Company’s common shares effective in the form of a 100% stock dividend. The record date for the stock split was February 7, 2011, and the additional shares were distributed on February 28, 2011. Accordingly, all share and per share data have been adjusted retroactively to reflect the stock split.

COMPANY OVERVIEW

Eaton Corporation is a diversified power management company with 2010 sales of $13.7 billion. The Company is a global technology leader in electrical components and systems for power quality, distribution and control; hydraulics components, systems and services for industrial and mobile equipment; aerospace fuel, hydraulics and pneumatic systems for commercial and military use; and truck and automotive drivetrain and powertrain systems for performance, fuel economy and safety. Eaton has approximately 73,000 employees in over 50 countries, and sells products to customers in more than 150 countries.

Eaton acquired certain businesses that affect comparability on a year over year basis. The Consolidated Statements of Income include the results of these businesses from the dates of the transactions or formation. For a list of business acquisitions and joint ventures impacting the comparative periods, see Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

A summary of Eaton’s Net sales, Net income attributable to Eaton common shareholders, and Net income per common share-diluted follows:



	Three months ended June 30				Six months ended June 30
	2011		2010		2011		2010
Net sales	$	4,090	$	3,378	$	7,893	$	6,481
Net income attributable to Eaton common shareholders	336		226		623		381
Net income per common share-diluted	$	0.97	$	0.66	$	1.80	$	1.12

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion of Consolidated Financial Results and Business Segment Results of Operations includes certain non-GAAP financial measures. These financial measures include operating earnings, operating earnings per common share, and operating profit before acquisition integration charges for each business segment, each of which excludes amounts that differ from the most directly comparable measure calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). A reconciliation of each of these financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is included in the table below and in the discussion of the operating results of each business segment. Management believes that these financial measures are useful to investors because they exclude transactions of an unusual nature, allowing investors to more easily compare Eaton’s financial performance period to period. Management uses this information in monitoring and evaluating the on-going performance of Eaton and each business segment.

Net Sales

Net sales in the second quarter of 2011 increased by 21% compared to the second quarter of 2010 . The sales increase was due to 14% from higher core sales, an increase of 6% from the favorable impact of foreign exchange, and an increase of 1% from acquisitions of businesses. End markets increased 12% in the second quarter of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. Net sales in the first six months of 2011 increased by 22% compared to the first six months of 2010 . The sales increase was due to 16% from higher core sales, an increase of 4% from the favorable impact of foreign exchange, and an increase of 2% from acquisitions of businesses. The increase in core sales in both the second quarter and first six months of 2011 reflects the continuing global expansion of the Company's markets and global economic recovery from the depressed levels of 2009. Eaton now anticipates its end markets for all of 2011 will grow by 11%.

Gross Profit

Gross profit increased by 24% in the second quarter of 2011 compared to the second quarter of 2010 , improving to 30.0% of net sales, up 0.7 percentage points from the second quarter of 2010 . Gross profit increased by 24% in the first six months of 2011 compared to the first six months of 2010 , improving to 29.8% of net sales, up 0.6 percentage points from the first six months of 2010 . The increase in the gross profit margin in both the second quarter and first six months of 2011 was primarily due to higher sales volumes and the benefits of substantial changes in the Company’s cost structure implemented in the past two years, partially offset by higher raw materials and commodity costs.

Income Taxes

Net Income

Net income attributable to Eaton common shareholders of $336 in the second quarter of 2011 increased 49% compared to net income of $226 in the second quarter of 2010 , and Net income per common share of $0.97 in the second quarter of 2011 increased 47% over Net income per common share of $0.66 in the second quarter of 2010 . Net income attributable to Eaton common shareholders of $623 in the first six months of 2011 increased 64% compared to net income of $381 in the first six months of 2010 , and Net income per common share of $1.80 in the first six months of 2011 increased 61% over Net income per common share of $1.12 in the first six months of 2010 . The increase in both the second quarter and first six months of 2011 was primarily due to higher sales and the factors noted above that affected gross profit.

Total Corporate expense increased 8% in the first six months of 2011 to $328 from $303 in the first six months of 2010 due to the same factors noted above.

LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION

Financial Condition and Liquidity

Eaton’s objective is to finance its business through operating cash flow and an appropriate mix of equity and long-term and short-term debt. By diversifying its debt maturity structure, Eaton reduces liquidity risk. The Company maintains access to the commercial paper markets through credit facilities that support Eaton’s commercial paper borrowings. There were no borrowings outstanding under these revolving credit facilities at June 30, 2011 . Over the course of a year, cash, short-term investments and short-term debt may fluctuate in order to manage global liquidity. Eaton believes it has the operating flexibility, cash flow, cash and short-term investment balances, and access to capital markets in excess of the liquidity necessary to meet future operating needs of the business.

During the second quarter in 2011, Eaton completed the issuance of $300 floating rate senior unsecured Notes due June 16, 2014. The Company also completed the refinancing of a $500, five-year revolving credit facility which maintains long-term revolving credit facilities at a total of $1.5 billion. For additional information on these financing transactions, see Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Eaton was in compliance with each of its debt covenants as of June 30, 2011 and for all periods presented.

Undistributed Assets of Non-U.S. Subsidiaries

At June 30, 2011, approximately 75% of the Company's consolidated cash and short-term investments resided in non-U.S. locations. These funds are considered permanently reinvested to be used to expand operations either organically or through acquisitions outside the U.S. The largest growth areas that are expected to require capital are in developing foreign markets such as Africa, Brazil, China, India, the Middle East and Southeast Asia. The Company's U.S. operations generate cash flow sufficient to satisfy U.S. operating requirements. The Company does not intend to repatriate any significant amounts of cash to the U.S. in the foreseeable future.

Sources and Uses of Cash Flow

Operating Cash Flow

Net cash provided by operating activities was $47 in the first six months of 2011 , a decrease of $260 compared to $307 in the first six months of 2010 . Operating cash flows in 2011 were primarily impacted by higher working capital requirements compared to 2010 as well as contributions of $100 to other postretirement benefits plans that were not contributed in 2010. Partially offsetting these uses of cash were higher net income in 2011 , which resulted from increased sales due to the global economic recovery that continued in 2011 and the positive effect of recent changes in the Company’s cost structure. For additional information on postretirement benefits plans, see Note 6 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Investing Cash Flow

Net cash used in investing activities was $175 in the first six months of 2011 , a decrease of $41 compared to $216 in the first six months of 2010 . The decrease in 2011 was due primarily to cash proceeds of $251 from the sale of short-term investments compared to purchases of $121 in the first six months of 2010 , partially offset by an increase in capital expenditures to $221 in 2011 from $101 in the first six months of 2010 and $212 related to the acquisitions of businesses. Higher capital expenditures were due to the Company's increased investments in property, plant and equipment to facilitate growth. For additional information on business acquisitions see to Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Financing Cash Flow

Net cash provided by financing activities was $65 in the first six months of 2011 , an increase of $215 compared to a use of cash of $150 in the first six months of 2010 . The increase was primarily due to proceeds received from a $300 debt issuance completed by Eaton during the second quarter of 2011, partially offset by an increase of $64 in cash dividends paid in 2011 to Eaton common shareholders. Higher cash dividends paid was due to an increase in the quarterly cash dividend paid per common share from $0.50 to $0.68 per share, which was announced during the first quarter of 2011.

OTHER MATTERS

In December 2010, a Brazilian court held that a judgment obtained by a Brazilian company, Raysul, against another Brazilian company, Saturnia, which was sold by Eaton in 2006, could be enforced against Eaton Ltda. This judgment is based on an alleged violation of an agency agreement between Raysul and Saturnia. At June 30, 2011 , the Company has a total accrual of 65 Brazilian Reais related to this matter, comprised of 60 Brazilian Reais recognized in the fourth quarter of 2010 ( $39 based on current exchange rates) and an additional 5 Brazilian Reais recognized in 2011 ( $3 based on current exchange rates) due to subsequent accruals for interest and inflation. The Company expects that any sum it may be required to pay in connection with this matter will not exceed the amount of the recorded liability. In 2010, Eaton filed motions for clarification with the Brazilian court of appeals which were denied on April 6, 2011. On July 1, 2011, Eaton Ltda. filed an appeal of this decision to the Superior Court of Justice in Brasilia.

On October 5, 2006, ZF Meritor LLC and Meritor Transmission Corporation (collectively, Meritor) filed an action against Eaton in the United States District Court for Delaware. The action sought damages, which would be trebled under United States antitrust laws, as well as injunctive relief and costs. The suit alleged that Eaton engaged in anti-competitive conduct against Meritor in the sale of heavy-duty truck transmissions in North America. Following a four week trial on liability only, on October 8, 2009, the jury returned a verdict in favor of Meritor. Eaton firmly believes that it competes fairly and honestly for business in the marketplace, and that at no time did it act in an anti-competitive manner. During an earlier stage in the case, the judge concluded that damage estimates contained in a report filed by Meritor were not based on reliable data and the report was specifically excluded from the case. On November 3, 2009, Eaton filed a motion for judgment as a matter of law and to set aside the verdict. That motion was denied on March 10, 2011. On March 14, 2011, Eaton filed a motion for entry of final judgment of liability, zero damages and no injunctive relief. On June 9, 2011, that motion was denied. On July 8, 2011, Eaton filed a motion for interlocutory appeal. Accordingly, an estimate of any potential loss related to this action cannot be made at this time.
