Divested businesses (Krautkramer, Sweco, Vermont American, and other
smaller businesses) are included in the applicable segments.
Intersegment sales of the Appliance and Tools segment for the three
months ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, were $75 million
and $70 million.
4. Effective October 1, 2000, the Company adopted Financial Accounting
Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities," (FAS 133) as amended, which requires that all derivative
instruments be reported on the balance sheet at fair value and
establishes criteria for designation and effectiveness of hedging
relationships. The adoption of FAS 133 did not have a material effect on
the Company's operating results or financial condition.
5. During the first quarter, the Company received $75 million from the
divestiture of the Sweco specialty separation business resulting in a
pre-tax gain of $60 million.
6. As reflected in the financial statements, nonstockholder changes in
equity for the three months ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, were $312.5
million and $282.5 million, comprised of net earnings of $357.4 million
and $324.9 million and foreign currency translation adjustments and
other, net of $(44.9) million and $(42.4) million, respectively.
7. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding (in millions)
was 427.1 and 430.4 for the three months ended December 31, 2000 and
1999, respectively. The weighted average number of shares outstanding
assuming dilution (in millions) was 431.6 and 434.5 for the three months
ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Dilutive shares
primarily relate to stock plans.

EMERSON ELECTRIC CO. AND SUBSIDIARIES Form 10-Q
Items 2 and 3. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations
and Financial Condition.
Sales, net earnings and earnings per share for the first quarter of fiscal
2001 were the highest for any first quarter in the Company's history.
Net sales for the quarter ended December 31, 2000, were $3,919.5 million, an
increase of 10.6 percent over net sales of $3,543.3 million for the quarter
ended December 31, 1999. Underlying sales increased nearly 8 percent,
excluding the impact of acquisitions, divestitures, and a 4 percentage point
unfavorable impact from currency, reflecting the Company's effort to
reposition into faster growth areas and the success of growth initiatives.
Underlying domestic sales showed moderate growth while underlying
international destination sales had a very strong increase, driven by very
strong growth in Europe and robust growth in both Asia and Latin America.
The process control business reported a 4 percent increase in sales driven by
underlying growth exceeding 6 percent - the strongest core increase the
business has recorded in over two years. The increase was led by project
wins associated with PlantWeb field-based automation architecture and
Fieldbus-based instruments. These results reflect strong growth in Europe
and Asia and moderate growth in the United States.
Underlying sales in the industrial automation business increased moderately,
but significantly unfavorable currency translation and the impact of the
Krautkramer divestiture led to a 5 percent decline in reported sales. Strong
growth in Europe and Asia was dampened by a softer U.S. industrial
environment.
Sales in the electronics and telecommunications business increased 84
percent, driven by the Jordan Telecommunication Products (now Emerson
Telecommunications Products) and Ericsson Energy Systems (now Emerson Energy
Systems) acquisitions. Organic sales, restated for these acquisitions,
increased nearly 30 percent, driven by very strong growth in the United
States and major international markets, with sales in Asia nearly doubling.
The breadth of geographic, customer, technology and services coverage has
buffered this business from the weakness evident in the telecom and
computing-related markets.
The heating, ventilating and air conditioning business experienced a 4
percent decline in sales, due to unfavorable currency translation and a
slight decline in underlying sales. Europe, Asia, and Latin America each
registered strong gains in underlying sales, but the cool northeastern U.S.
summer in 2000 reduced the need for replenishing inventory ahead of the 2001
cooling season.
The appliance and tools business reported a 9 percent decrease in sales.
Excluding the impact of the Vermont American divestiture, sales of the
appliance and tools business increased 1 percent, with moderate tools and
storage solutions gains offsetting the weak North America appliance market.
Our storage solutions businesses - which include the popular ClosetMaid and
METRO-branded products - realized strong growth, as did In-Sink-Erator waste
disposers. Our strong partnerships with key retailers, including The Home
Depot and Sears, have been integral to this success. Appliance sales were
affected by the overall reduction in unit shipments during the quarter.

EMERSON ELECTRIC CO. AND SUBSIDIARIES Form 10-Q
Cost of sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2001 and 2000 was $2,531.4
million, and $2,288.8 million, respectively. Cost of sales as a percent of
net sales was 64.6 percent in the first quarter of each fiscal period.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended
December 31, 2000, were $774.0 million, or 19.7 percent of sales, compared to
$701.9 million, or 19.8 percent of sales, for the same period a year ago.
The consolidated operating margin increased 0.1 point reflecting a 0.5 point
improvement in underlying operating margins, partially offset by the addition
of lower margin acquisitions and business mix.
Earnings before interest and income taxes increased 14.5 percent. Other
(income) deductions, net increased $18 million. This change reflects a $60
million pre-tax gain from the sale of Sweco which was substantially offset by
higher costs for the rationalization of operations and lower royalty income.
The operating earnings for the first quarter of 2001 were also negatively
impacted by the translation effect of the stronger U.S. dollar. Earnings
before interest and income taxes in the process control business increased 17
percent in the first quarter of 2000, primarily due to solid underlying sales
growth and improved operating margins. Earnings of the electronics and
telecommunications business increased by 108 percent compared to the first
quarter, reflecting robust sales growth driven by the network power
businesses, acquisitions and improved margins. Reported earnings of the
appliance and tools business declined 7 percent, due to the divestiture of
Vermont American, the appliance and motors sales weakness as well as mix in
the tools area.
Financial Condition
A comparison of key elements of the Company's financial condition at the end
of the first quarter as compared to the end of the prior fiscal year follows:
December 31, September 30,
2000 2000
--------- ---------
Working capital (in millions) $ 384.3 $ 263.9
Current ratio 1.1 to 1 1.1 to 1
Total debt to total capital 41.9% 41.8%
Net debt to net capital 39.9% 40.2%
The Company's interest coverage ratio (earnings before income taxes and
interest expense, divided by interest expense) was 7.5 times for the three
months ended December 31, 2000, compared to 10.5 times for the same period
one year earlier. The decrease in the interest coverage ratio reflects
higher average borrowings resulting from acquisitions and higher interest
rates, partially offset by earnings growth. In the first quarter of fiscal
2001, the Company terminated the swap of $400 million of 7 7/8% 5-year bonds
originally swapped to floating U.S. commercial paper rates. Also in the
first quarter, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement,
which fixed the rate on $250 million of commercial paper at 6.0 percent
through December 2010. Additionally, the Company increased its shelf
registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission to $2 billion.

EMERSON ELECTRIC CO. AND SUBSIDIARIES FORM 10-Q
Cash and equivalents increased by $78.9 million during the three months ended
December 31, 2000. Cash flow provided by operating activities of $277.1
million, a net increase in borrowings of $119.6 million, and the cash flow
provided by divestiture of business and other, net of $52.2 million were used
primarily to fund purchases of businesses of $55.3 million, pay dividends of
$164.0 million and fund capital expenditures of $150.3 million. Operating
cash flow for the quarter declined 9 percent relative to the first quarter of
fiscal 2000, reflecting the slowing of consumer-related businesses, which
created a short-term buildup of inventory. Additional working capital was
also required to support the continued rapid growth in network power
products.
The Company is in a strong financial position and has the resources available
for reinvestment in existing businesses, strategic acquisitions and managing
the capital structure on a short- and long-term basis.
Statements in this report that are not strictly historical may be "forward-
looking" statements, which involve risks and uncertainties. These include
