<PAGE>
RAW MATERIALS AND ENERGY

Emerson's major requirements for basic raw materials include steel, copper, cast iron, aluminum and brass and, to a lesser extent, plastics and other petroleum-based chemicals. Emerson has multiple sources of supply for each of its major requirements and is not significantly dependent on any one supplier. The raw materials and various purchased components required for its products have generally been available in sufficient quantities. Emerson uses various forms of energy, principally natural gas and electricity, obtained from public utilities. A majority of the plants have the capability of being converted to use alternative sources of energy.

PATENTS, TRADEMARKS, LICENSES AND FRANCHISES

The Company has a number of patents, trademarks, licenses and franchises, obtained over a number of years and expiring at various times. While proprietary intellectual property is important to the Company, management believes the loss or expiration of any intellectual property rights would not materially impact the Company or any of its segments.

BACKLOG

The estimated consolidated order backlog of the Company was $2,135 million and $2,838 million at September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Nearly all of the September 30, 2001 consolidated backlog amount is expected to be shipped within one year.

COMPETITION

Emerson's businesses are highly competitive, and Emerson competes on product performance, quality, service or price across the industries and markets served. A significant element of the Company's competitive strategy is its objective to manufacture high quality products at the lowest relevant global cost. Although no single company competes directly with Emerson in all of the Company's product lines, various companies compete in one or more product lines. Some of these companies have substantially greater sales and assets than Emerson, and Emerson also competes with many smaller companies. The

5

<PAGE>
number of Emerson's competitors varies by product line, and management believes that Emerson has a market leadership position in many of these product lines.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Costs associated with Company-sponsored research, new product development and product improvement were $593.9 million in 2001 and 2000, and $510.3 million in 1999.

ENVIRONMENT

The Company's manufacturing locations generate waste, the treatment, storage, transportation and disposal of which are subject to federal, state and/or local laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment.

Compliance with laws regulating the discharge of materials into the environment of otherwise relating to the protection of the environment has not had a material effect upon Emerson's capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position. It is not anticipated that Emerson will have material capital expenditures for environmental control facilities during the next fiscal year.

EMPLOYEES

Emerson and its subsidiaries had an average of approximately 124,500 employees during 2001. Management believes that the Company's employee relations are favorable. Some of the Company's employees are represented under collective bargaining agreements, but none of these is considered significant.

DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN OPERATIONS

International sales were $6,189 million in 2001, $5,894 million in 2000 and $5,713 million in 1999, including U.S. exports of $1,008 million, $1,049 million and $960 million in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Although there are additional risks attendant to foreign operations, such as nationalization of facilities, currency fluctuations and restrictions on the movement of funds, Emerson's financial position has not been materially affected thereby to date. See Note 12 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements on page 31 of the 2001 Annual Report for further information with respect to foreign operations.

Item 2. Properties

At September 30, 2001, Emerson had approximately 360 manufacturing locations worldwide, of which approximately 200 were located outside the United States, primarily in Europe and to a lesser extent in Asia-Pacific, Canada and Latin America. The approximate number of manufacturing locations by business segment are: Process Control, 80; Industrial Automation, 90; Electronics and Telecommunications, 70; Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning, 60; and Appliance and Tools, 60. The majority of the locations are owned, with the remainder occupied under operating or capital leases. The Company considers its facilities suitable and adequate for the purposes for which they are used.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

Emerson is a party to a number of pending legal proceedings, several of which claim substantial amounts of damages. There are no pending legal proceedings that management believes will be material in relation to the Company's business or financial position.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

There were no matters submitted to a vote of security holders during the quarter ended September 30, 2001.

Section 2. Other Offices . The Corporation may also have offices at such other places both within and without the State of Missouri as the Board may, from time to time, determine or the business of the Corporation may require.

Section 3. Definitions . Unless the context otherwise requires, defined terms herein shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Articles of Incorporation (the "Articles").

ARTICLE II

MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS

Section 1. Place of Meeting . All meetings of the shareholders shall be held at such place within or without the State of Missouri as may be, from time to time, fixed or determined by the Board.

Section 2. Annual Meeting . The annual meeting of the shareholders shall be held on the first Tuesday in February of each year if not a legal holiday, or, if a legal holiday, then on the next business day following, at such hour as may be specified in the notice of the meeting; provided, however, that the day fixed for such meeting in any year may be changed by resolution of the Board to such other day not a legal holiday as the Board may deem desirable or appropriate. At the annual meeting the shareholders shall elect Directors in accordance with Article 5 of the Articles of Incorporation and Article III of these Bylaws, and shall transact such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting. If no other place for the annual meeting is determined by the Board of Directors and specified in the notice of such meeting, the annual meeting shall be held at the principal offices of the Corporation at 8000 West Florissant Avenue, St. Louis, Missouri.

-1-

Section 3. Special Meetings .

(a) Unless otherwise limited by statute or by the Articles, special meetings of the shareholders, for any purpose or purposes, may be called at any time by the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, or a majority of the Board.

(b) A special meeting may also be called by the holders of not less than 85% of all of the outstanding shares entitled to vote at such meeting, upon written request delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation. Such request shall state the purpose or purposes of the proposed meeting. Upon receipt of any such request, it shall be the duty of the Secretary to call a special meeting of the shareholders to be held at any time, not less than ten (10) nor more than seventy (70) days thereafter, as the Secretary may fix. If the Secretary shall neglect to issue such call, the person or persons making the request may issue the call.

-2-

Section 4. Notice of Meetings . Written notice of every meeting of the shareholders, specifying the place, date and hour of the meeting, and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called shall be delivered or mailed, postage prepaid, by or at the direction of the Secretary, not less than ten (10) nor more than seventy (70) days before the date of the meeting to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting.

Section 5. List of Shareholders Entitled to Vote . At least ten (10) days before each meeting of the shareholders, a complete list of the shareholders entitled to vote at such meeting shall be prepared and arranged in alphabetical order with the address of each shareholder and the number of shares held by each, which list, for a period of ten (10) days prior to such meeting, shall be kept on file at the registered office of the Corporation and shall be subject to inspection by any shareholder at any time during usual business hours. Such list shall also be produced and kept open at the time and place of the meeting, and shall be subject to the inspection of any shareholder during the whole time of the meeting. The original share ledger or transfer book, or a duplicate thereof kept in the State of Missouri, shall be prima facie evidence as to who are the shareholders entitled to examine such list or share ledger or transfer book or to vote at any meeting of the shareholders. Failure to comply with the above requirements in respect of lists of shareholders shall not affect the validity of any action taken at such meeting.

-3-

Section 6. Quorum . The holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares entitled to vote, present in person or represented by proxy, shall be requisite and shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the shareholders for the transaction of business, except as otherwise provided by law, the Articles or by these Bylaws. The shareholders present at a meeting at which a quorum is present may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of such number of shareholders as to reduce the remaining shareholders to less than a quorum. Whether or not a quorum is present, the chairman of the meeting or a majority of the shareholders entitled to vote thereat, present in person or by proxy, shall have power, except as otherwise provided by statute, successively to adjourn the meeting to such time and place as they may determine, to a date not longer than ninety (90) days after each such adjournment, and no notice of any such adjournment need be given to shareholders other than the announcement of the adjournment at the meeting. At any adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally called.

-4-

Section 7. Requisite Vote . When a quorum is present or represented at any meeting, the vote of the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote which are present in person or represented by proxy shall decide any questions brought before such meeting, unless the question is one upon which, by express provision of law, the Articles or by these Bylaws, a different vote is required, in which case such express provisions shall govern and control the decision of such question.

Section 8. Voting . Each shareholder shall, at every meeting of the shareholders, be entitled to one vote in person or by proxy for each share having voting power held by such shareholder, but no proxy shall be voted after eleven (11) months from the date of its execution unless otherwise provided in the proxy. In each election for Directors, no shareholder shall be entitled to vote cumulatively or to cumulate his votes.

Section 9. Notice of Shareholder Business at Annual Meetings . At any annual meeting of shareholders, only such business shall be conducted as shall have been properly brought before the meeting. In addition to any other requirements imposed by or pursuant to law, the Articles or these Bylaws, each item of business to be properly brought before an annual meeting must (a) be specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board or the persons calling the meeting pursuant to the Articles; (b) be

-5-

otherwise properly brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board; or (c) be otherwise properly brought before the meeting by a shareholder. For business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a shareholder, the shareholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation. To be timely, a shareholder's notice must be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event less than 100 days' notice or prior public disclosure of the date of the annual meeting is given or made to shareholders, notice by the shareholder to be timely must be so received not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which such notice of the date of the annual meeting was mailed or such public disclosure was made. For purposes of these Bylaws "public disclosure" shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Jones, Associated Press, Reuters or comparable national news service, or in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Sections 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"). A shareholder's notice to the Secretary shall set forth as to each matter he or she proposes to bring before the annual meeting (a) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting, (b) the name and address, as they appear on the Corporation's books, of the shareholder(s) proposing such business, (c) the class and number of shares of the Corporation which are beneficially owned by the proposing shareholder(s), and (d) any material interest of the proposing shareholder(s) in such business. Notwithstanding anything in

-6-

these Bylaws to the contrary, but subject to Article III, Section 1(c) hereof, no business shall be conducted at an annual meeting except in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section. The chairman of the annual meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the annual meeting that business was not properly brought before the annual meeting in accordance with the provisions of this Section; and if he or she should so determine, shall so declare to the meeting and any such business not properly brought before the annual meeting shall not be transacted. The chairman of the meeting shall have absolute authority to decide questions of compliance with the foregoing procedures, and his or her ruling thereon shall be final and conclusive. The provisions of this Section 9 shall also govern what constitutes timely notice for purposes of Rule 14a-4(c) under the 1934 Act.

-7-

ARTICLE III

DIRECTORS

Section 1. Number; Classification; Nominations;
Election; Term of Office
.

(a) The Board shall consist of such number of Directors as the Board may from time to time determine, provided that in no event shall the number of Directors be less than three (3), and provided further that no reduction in the number of Directors shall have the effect of shortening the term of any incumbent Director. In addition, the Board may, from time to time, appoint such number of "Advisory Directors" and "Directors Emeritus" as it may deem advisable.

(b) The Board of Directors (herein the "Board") shall be divided into three classes, as nearly equal in number as possible. In the event of any increase in the number of Directors, the additional Director(s) shall be added to such class(es) as may be necessary so that all classes shall be as nearly equal in number as possible. In the event of any decrease in the number of Directors, all classes of Directors shall be decreased as nearly equally as may be possible. Subject to the foregoing, the Board shall determine the class(es) to which any additional Director(s) shall be added and the class(es) which shall be decreased in the event of any decrease in the number of Directors.

-8-

At each annual meeting of shareholders the successors to the class of Directors whose term shall then expire shall be elected for a term expiring at the third succeeding annual meeting after such election.

(c) In addition to the qualifications set out in Section 3 of this Article III, in order to be qualified for election as a Director, persons must be nominated in accordance with the following procedure:

Nominations of persons for election to the Board of the Corporation may be made at a meeting of shareholders by or at the direction of the Board or by any shareholder of the Corporation entitled to vote for the election of Directors at the meeting who complies with the procedures set forth in this Section 1(c). In order for persons nominated to the Board, other than those persons nominated by or at the direction of the Board, to be qualified to serve on the Board, such nominations shall be made pursuant to timely notice in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation. To be timely, a shareholder's notice shall be delivered to or mailed and received by the Secretary of the Corporation not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the meeting; provided, however, that in the event less than 100 days' notice or prior public disclosure of the date of the meeting is given or made to shareholders, notice by the shareholder to be timely must be so received not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on

-9-

which such notice of the date of the meeting was mailed or such public disclosure was made. Such shareholder's notice shall set forth (i) as to each person whom the shareholder proposes to nominate for election or re-election as a Director, (A) the name, age, business address and residence address of such person, (B) the principal occupation or employment of such person, (C) the class and number of shares of the Corporation which are beneficially owned by such person, (D) any other information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of Directors, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (including without limitation such person's written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a Director if elected) and (E) if the shareholder(s) making the nomination is an Interested Person, details of any relationship, agreement or understanding between the shareholder(s) and the nominee; and (ii) as to the shareholder(s) making the nomination (A) the name and address, as they appear on the Corporation's books, of such shareholder(s) and (B) the class and number of shares of the Corporation which are beneficially owned by such shareholder(s). At the request of the Board, any person nominated by the Board for election as a Director shall furnish to the Secretary of the Corporation that information required to be set forth in a

-10-

shareholder's notice of nomination which pertains to the nominee. No person shall be qualified for election as a Director of the Corporation unless nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 1(c). The chairman of a meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that a nomination was not made in accordance with the procedures prescribed by the Bylaws, and if he or she should so determine, shall so declare to the meeting, and the defective nomination shall be disregarded. The Chairman of a meeting shall have absolute authority to decide questions of compliance with the foregoing procedures, and his or her ruling thereon shall be final and conclusive.

(d) Directors shall be elected at annual meetings of the shareholders, except as provided in Section 2 of this Article III, and each Director shall hold office until his or her successor is elected and qualified.

Section 2. Filling of Vacancies . Vacancies and newly created directorships shall be filled only by a majority of the remaining Directors, though less than a quorum, and each person so elected shall be a Director until his or her successor is elected by the shareholders, who may make such election at the next annual meeting of the shareholders at which Directors of his or her class are elected or at any special meeting of shareholders duly called for that purpose and held prior thereto.

Section 3. Qualifications . Directors must be nominated in accordance with the procedure set out in Section 1(c) of this

-11-

Article III. Directors need not be shareholders. No person shall be eligible for election as a Director, either under Section 1 or Section 2 of this Article III, if such person's seventy-second (72d) birthday shall fall on a date prior to the commencement of the Term for which such Director is to be elected or appointed; provided, however, that this limitation shall not apply to persons who were Directors of the Corporation on April 4, 1967, and provided further that this limitation shall not apply to Mr. R. B. Loynd until the annual meeting of shareholders held in 2003. No person shall be qualified to be elected and to hold office as a Director if such person is determined by a majority of the whole Board to have acted in a manner contrary to the best interests of the Corporation, including, but not limited to, violation of either State or Federal law, maintenance of interests not properly authorized and in conflict with the interests of the Corporation, or breach of any agreement between such Director and the Corporation relating to such Director's services as a Director, employee or agent of the Corporation.

Section 4. Removal . By action of a majority of the whole Board, any Director may be removed from office for cause if such Director shall at the time of such removal fail to meet the qualifications for election as a Director as set forth under Article III, Section 3 hereof. Notice of the proposed removal shall be given to all Directors of the Corporation prior to action thereon. Directors may be otherwise removed only in the manner prescribed in the Articles.

-12-

Section 5. General Powers . The property and business of the Corporation shall be controlled and managed by its Board of Directors which may exercise all such powers of the Corporation and do all such lawful acts and things as are not, by law, the Articles or by these Bylaws, directed or required to be exercised and done by the shareholders or the Continuing Directors.

Section 6. Place of Meetings . The Board may hold meetings, both regular and special, either within or without the State of Missouri.

Section 7. Regular Annual Meeting . A regular annual meeting of the Board, including newly elected Directors, shall be held immediately following the annual meeting of the shareholders and shall be held at the principal offices of the Corporation at 8000 West Florissant Avenue, St. Louis, Missouri, unless another time or place shall be fixed therefor by the Directors. No notice of such meeting shall be necessary to the Directors in order, legally, to constitute the meeting, provided a majority of the whole Board shall be present. In the event such annual meeting of the Board is not held at the time and place specified herein, or at such other time and place as may be fixed by the Directors, the meeting may be held at such time and place as shall be specified in a notice given as hereinafter provided for meetings of the Board, or as shall be specified in a written waiver signed by all of the Directors.

-13-

Section 8. Additional Regular Meetings . Additional regular meetings of the Board shall be held once each month on the first Tuesday thereof, or on such other day thereof as the Board may, by resolution, prescribe, and at such hour of such day as shall be stated in the notice of the meeting; provided that the Chairman, in his or her discretion, may dispense with any one or more of such meetings, by having notice of the intention so to do given, by letter or telegram, to each Director not less than ten (10) days prior to the regularly scheduled date of each meeting so to be dispensed with. If the first Tuesday of any month shall be a legal holiday, the regular meeting for such month shall be held on the Thursday following, and if the Monday preceding the first Tuesday of any month shall be a legal holiday, the regular meeting for such month shall be held on the Wednesday following, in each case unless the Board shall otherwise prescribe by resolution. Notice of any regular meeting shall be given to each Director at least forty-eight (48) hours in advance thereof, either personally, by mail or by telegram.

Section 9. Special Meetings . Special meetings of the Board may be called by the Chairman or the Chief Executive Officer on notice given personally, by mail, by telephone, by telegram or by facsimile to each Director given twenty-four (24) hours in advance of such meeting. Special meetings shall be called by the Chairman or the Chief Executive Officer in like manner and on like notice on the written request of any two Directors.

-14-

Section 10. Place of Meetings . Special meetings and regular meetings of the Board, other than the regular annual meeting, shall be held at such place within the City or County of St. Louis, Missouri, as may be specified in the notice of such meeting; provided that any meeting may be held elsewhere, within or without the State of Missouri, pursuant to resolution of the Board or pursuant to the call of the Chairman or the Chief Executive Officer. Members of the Board and its Committees may participate in meetings by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment whereby all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and such participation shall constitute presence at the meeting.

Section 11. Notices . Notice of any meeting may be given by the Chairman, the Chief Executive Officer, any Vice Chairman, the President, any Vice President or the Secretary and shall specify the time and place of the meeting.

Section 12. Quorum . At all meetings of the Board a majority of Directors in office (the "whole Board") shall be necessary to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, and the acts of a majority of the Directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the acts of the Board, except as otherwise may be specifically provided by law or by the Articles. If a quorum shall not be present at any meeting of the Board, the Directors present thereat may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than

-15-

announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present. So long as the whole Board shall consist of sixteen (16) or more members, a Director who may be disqualified, by reason of personal interest, from voting on any particular matter before a meeting of the Board may nevertheless be counted for the purpose of constituting a quorum of the Board.

Section 13. Compensation of Directors . Directors, as such, shall receive for their services such compensation as may be fixed, from time to time, by resolution of the Board, together with a stipend for attendance, and expenses of attendance, if any, for each meeting of the Board or meetings of any committee on which the Directors may serve; provided that nothing herein contained shall be construed to preclude any Director from serving the Corporation in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor.

Section 14. Executive Committee . The Board may, by resolution passed by a majority of the whole Board, designate two or more of its number to constitute an Executive Committee which, to the extent provided in such resolution, shall have and exercise the authority of the Board in the management and business of the Corporation.

-16-

Section 15. Finance Committee . The Board may, by resolution passed by a majority of the whole Board, designate two or more of its number, one of whom shall be the Committee Chairman, as the Finance Committee of the Board, which to the extent provided in such resolution shall have and exercise the authority of the Board in the management and business of the Corporation. The Committee shall study and consider financial matters affecting the operations of the Corporation, including its long range financial requirements, shall advise the Board in respect thereto, and shall have such other duties as shall be specified by resolution of the Board.

Section 16. Other Committees of the Board . The Board may, by resolution passed by a majority of the whole Board, designate two or more of its members to constitute such other Committees of the Board as the Board by such resolution or resolutions may determine. To the extent provided in such resolution or resolutions, such Committees shall have and exercise the authority of the Board in the management and business of the Corporation.

Section 17. Committees-General Rules . Each Committee of the Board shall keep regular minutes of its proceedings and

-17-

report the same to the Board when required. Vacancies in the membership of each Committee shall be filled by the Board at any regular or special meeting of the Board. A Director who may be disqualified, by reason of personal interest, from voting on any particular matter before a meeting of a Committee may nevertheless be counted for the purpose of constituting a quorum of the Committee. At all meetings of a Committee, a majority of the Committee members then in office shall constitute a quorum for the purpose of transacting business, and the acts of a majority of the Committee members present at any meeting at which there is a quorum shall be the acts of the Committee.

Section 18 . Directors Emeritus and Advisory Directors . The Board may from time to time create one or more positions of Director Emeritus and Advisory Director, and may fill such position or positions for such term as the Board deems proper. Each Director Emeritus and Advisory Director shall have the privilege of attending meetings of the Board but shall do so solely as an observer. Notice of such meetings to a Director Emeritus or Advisory Director shall not be required under any applicable law, the Articles, or these Bylaws. Each Director Emeritus and Advisory Director shall be entitled to receive such compensation as may be fixed from time to time by the Board. No Director Emeritus or Advisory Director shall be entitled to vote on any business coming before the Board, nor shall they be counted as members of the Board for the purpose of determining the number of Directors necessary to constitute a quorum, for the purpose of determining whether a quorum is present, or for any other purpose whatsoever. In the case of a Director Emeritus or Advisory Director, the occurrence of any event which in the case of a Director would create a vacancy on the Board, shall be deemed to create a vacancy in such position; but the Board may declare the position terminated until such time as the Board shall again deem it proper to create and to fill the position.

-18-

ARTICLE IV

Notices to Directors and shareholders shall be in writing and delivered personally or mailed or sent by telegram, telex or facsimile transmission to the Directors or shareholders at their addresses appearing on the books of the Corporation, except that notice to Directors of a special meeting of the Board may be given orally. Notice by mail shall be deemed to be given at the time when the same shall be mailed; notice by telegram when such notice is delivered to the telegraph company; notice by facsimile transmission when transmitted.

Section 2. Waiver of Notices .

-26-

Section 2. Signatures on Certificates . Every share certificate shall be signed by the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the President or a Vice President; and by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary or the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer; and shall be sealed with the Corporation's seal which may be facsimile, engraved or printed.

Where a certificate is signed by a registrar or co-registrar the certificate of any transfer agent or co-transfer agent thereon may be by facsimile signature of the authorized signatory of such transfer agent or co-transfer agent. In case any officer or officers of the Corporation who have signed, or whose facsimile signature or signatures have been used on, any such certificate or certificates shall cease to be such officer or officers, whether because of death, resignation or otherwise, before such certificate or certificates have been delivered by the Corporation, such certificate or certificates may, nevertheless, be issued and delivered as though the person or persons who signed such certificate or certificates or whose facsimile signature or signatures have been used thereon had not ceased to be such officer or officers of the Corporation.

-27-

-29-

VII exceeds the amount of such losses for which the Director, officer or employee is insured pursuant to any directors and officers liability insurance policy maintained by the Corporation; (b) in respect to remuneration paid to such person if it shall be finally adjudged that such remuneration was in violation of law; (c) on account of any suit in which judgment is rendered against such person for an accounting of profits made from the purchase or sale by such person of securities of the Corporation pursuant to the provisions of Section 16(b) of the 1934 Act and amendments thereto or similar provisions of any federal, state or local statutory law; (d) on account of such person's conduct which is finally adjudged to have been knowingly fraudulent, deliberately dishonest or willful misconduct; and (e) if it shall be finally adjudged that such indemnification is not lawful.

Section 2. Actions Involving Agents . The Corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party (other than a party plaintiff suing on his own behalf or in the right of the Corporation), or who is threatened to be made such a party, to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (including, but not limited to, an action by or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that he or she is an agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as an agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, all to the full extent permitted by law.

-30-

Section 3. Determination of Right to Indemnification in Certain Instances .

(a) Any indemnification under Section 1 of this Article VII (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation unless a determination is reasonably and promptly made that indemnification of the director, officer or employee is not proper in the circumstances because he or she has not satisfied the conditions set forth in such Section 1. Such determination shall be made (1) by the Board by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of Directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or (2) if such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested Directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (3) by the shareholders; provided, that no such determination shall preclude an action brought in an appropriate court to challenge such determination.

(b) Any indemnification under Section 2 of this Article VII (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the agent is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in such Section 2. Such determination shall be made (1) by the Board by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of Directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or (2) if such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested Directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (3) by the shareholders.

-31-

Section 4. Advance Payment of Expenses . Expenses incurred by defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director, officer, employee or agent to repay such amounts unless it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article.

Section 5. Successful Defense . Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article VII, to the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise (including the dismissal of an action without prejudice or the settlement of an action without admission of liability) in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Sections 1 or 2 of this Article VII, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he or she shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith.

-32-

Section 6. Not Exclusive Right . The indemnification provided by this Article VII shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any statute, bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in an official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event of conflict between the provisions of this Article VII and the provisions of any agreement adopted by the shareholders between the Corporation on the one hand, and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation on the other, providing for indemnification, the terms of such agreement shall prevail. Any indemnification, whether required under this Bylaw or permitted by statute or otherwise, shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer or employee and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such person.

-33-

Section 7. Insurance . The Board shall have the power to cause the Corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a Director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of this Article.

Section 8. Subsidiaries of Corporation . For the purposes of this Article VII, (a) any officer, Director, or employee of the Corporation who shall serve as an officer, director, employee or agent of any other corporation, joint venture, trust or other enterprise of which the Corporation, directly or indirectly, is or was a stockholder or creditor, or in which the Corporation is or was in any way interested, or (b) any officer, director, or employee of any subsidiary corporation, venture, trust or other enterprise wholly owned by the Corporation, shall be deemed to be serving as such director, officer, employee or agent at the request of the Corporation, unless the Board shall determine otherwise. In all instances where any person shall serve as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, joint venture, trust or other enterprise of which the Corporation is or was a stockholder or creditor, or in which it is or was otherwise interested, if it is not otherwise established that such person is or was serving as such director, officer, employee or agent at the request of the Corporation, the Board may determine whether such service is or was at the request of the Corporation, and it shall not be necessary to show any actual or prior request for such service.

-34-

Financial Review Exhibit 13

Results of Operations

Net Sales
Sales for 2001 were $15.5 billion, a decrease of $65 million, or 0.4 percent, from 2000. Strong sales growth in the Process Control business from PlantWeb and solutions activities was negated by weakness in the Industrial Automation; Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning (HVAC); and Appliance and Tools businesses. In addition, robust gains in the Electronics and Telecommunications business in the first half of 2001 reversed in the second half. Sales also were impacted by divestitures and a stronger U.S. dollar, with each reducing reported sales by more than 2 percent. Underlying sales realized slight growth excluding acquisitions, divestitures and the unfavorable impact from currency. U.S. sales decreased by approximately $360 million, or 4 percent, while international sales increased approximately $295 million, or 5 percent. New product sales, from products introduced in the past five years, were $5.4 billion, representing 35 percent of sales.

In 2000, sales were $15.5 billion, up $1,275 million, or 8.9 percent, from 1999. The strong sales growth was driven by robust demand for network power and connectivity products and services, the continued success of other major growth initiatives, and the contribution of acquisitions. Excluding the impact of divestitures, all businesses reported sales increases. U.S. sales increased approximately $1,094 million, or 13 percent, while international sales increased approximately $181 million, or 3 percent. Underlying sales growth was led by robust demand in the Electronics and Telecommunications business worldwide, while the HVAC business achieved a very strong performance internationally. New product sales, from products introduced in the past five years, increased approximately $614 million, to a record $5.6 billion, representing 36 percent of sales.

International Sales
International sales, including U.S. exports, increased 5 percent, to a record $6.2 billion in 2001, representing 40 percent of the Company's total sales. U.S. exports were in line with a year ago, at $1.0 billion. Sales by non-U.S. subsidiaries were $5.3 billion in 2001, up 7 percent from 2000. International subsidiary sales increased 8 percent excluding acquisitions, divestitures and the unfavorable impact of currency translation of approximately $310 million. Very strong growth in Asia and Latin America and moderate growth in Europe was slightly offset by the impact of currency exchange.

In 2000, international sales increased over 3 percent to $5.9 billion, representing 38 percent of the Company's total sales. U.S. exports increased 9 percent to $1.0 billion. Sales by non-U.S. subsidiaries were $5.0 billion in 2000, up 3 percent from 1999. International subsidiary sales increased 8 percent excluding acquisitions, divestitures and the unfavorable impact of currency translation of approximately $320 million. Strong growth in Canada, Asia and Latin America and moderate growth in Europe was dampened by the impact of currency exchange.

Business Segment Sales - 2001 vs. 2000
The Process Control business sales increased 8 percent to $3.3 billion in 2001, reflecting continued high customer demand for PlantWeb technology and strong growth in the solutions and services areas. These capabilities have dramatically increased the Company's end-market opportunity, and the uniqueness of Emerson's offerings has allowed the Company to firmly establish a leading position. The Company's product strength in control systems, valve and measurement devices also played a key role in the growth, as general maintenance and repair spending returned to more normalized levels after a challenging 2000 and 1999. Very strong growth in the United States and Asia and moderate growth in Europe were dampened by the impact of currency exchange.

Sales of the Industrial Automation business declined 7 percent to $3.0 billion in 2001, due to a modest decline in underlying sales, unfavorable currency exchange and the Krautkramer and Sweco divestitures. U.S. capital goods markets showed considerable weakness, while underlying European sales increased moderately and Asian sales grew modestly versus 2000.

The Electronics and Telecommunications business reported a 9 percent increase in sales, to $3.6 billion in 2001, due to the acquisitions of Jordan Telecommunication Products, Inc. and Ericsson Energy Systems in 2000. Underlying sales increased modestly, excluding the impact of acquisitions, divestitures and currency exchange. After a 30 percent underlying increase in the first half of 2001, sales declined over 20 percent in the second half. Fiber-optic and embedded power products were the first to be impacted by the overall downturn in computing and communications markets, and systems sales declined as the year progressed. U.S. sales declined slightly, partially offsetting very strong growth in Europe, Asia and Latin America, with all regions slowing dramatically in the second half of the year.

14

Sales of the HVAC business declined 2 percent from the prior year to $2.4 billion, primarily due to lower U.S. demand for air conditioning and refrigeration products at the residential, commercial and industrial levels. Underlying sales decreased slightly, excluding the unfavorable impact from currency exchange, with very strong gains in Asia and solid gains in Europe more than offset by a moderate decline in U.S. sales, which comprise approximately 65 percent of sales in this business. New growth opportunities for scroll compressor technology continue to develop, with Copeland Scroll sales reaching nearly $900 million in 2001.

The Appliance and Tools business reported $3.5 billion in sales in 2001, an 8 percent decrease from 2000. This decline is primarily the result of the Vermont American divestiture in fiscal 2000, the weak U.S. capital goods environment and a challenging appliances market. Underlying tools sales were flat versus 2000. A moderate overall decline in underlying sales was due to softness in both domestic and international markets.

Business Segment Sales - 2000 vs. 1999
The Process Control business achieved a 5 percent sales increase to $3.1 billion in 2000. This increase was driven by the Daniel Industries, Inc. acquisition and customers embracing PlantWeb technology, partially offset by difficult market conditions, particularly in Asia and Europe, and the impact of currency exchange. Underlying sales for the year decreased slightly but turned positive in the fourth quarter, the first organic sales improvement since the process markets began to cycle down in 1998.

Sales of the Industrial Automation business were $3.2 billion in 2000, down 7 percent. Solid underlying improvement in Europe and other international regions, the late-1999 acquisitions of Kato and MagneTek's alternator operations, and stabilization in U.S. capital goods markets were negatively impacted by the stronger U.S. dollar and the F.G. Wilson and Krautkramer divestitures.

The Electronics and Telecommunications business achieved outstanding performance, with sales increasing 59 percent, to $3.3 billion. The increase was the result of underlying growth of nearly 30 percent, reflecting strong worldwide demand for reliable power and networking products, and two strategic acquisitions in 2000 - Jordan and Ericsson. All product and service areas increased sharply, with particular strength in large UPS and precision air conditioning systems for Web-hosting centers and DC/DC embedded modules for applications such as next-generation routers and telecom switching.

Sales of the HVAC business were $2.5 billion in 2000, a 5 percent increase from 1999, dampened slightly by unfavorable currency exchange. Europe, Asia and Latin America all achieved very strong underlying sales growth, primarily due to improved market conditions and continued penetration of Copeland's scroll compressor technology.

Sales of the Appliance and Tools business increased 1 percent to $3.8 billion. Very strong underlying growth in the tools operations was offset by the impact of the Vermont American divestiture and unfavorable currency exchange. Tools sales through the rapidly growing home centers channel increased in 2000, particularly the successful relationship with The Home Depot, which capitalizes on the RIDGID-branded line of professional quality tools. Underlying appliance -related sales were relatively flat for the year, due in part to distribution issues faced by some key customers.

Acquisitions, Divestitures and Repositioning The Company continued to reposition into faster-growth markets, acquiring several businesses, divesting two slower-growth businesses and contributing another business into a joint venture in 2001. Subsequent to year-end, the Company agreed to exchange its ENI semiconductor equipment division for an equity interest in MKS Instruments, Inc. of 12 million common shares. The Company also announced the divestiture of its Chromalox industrial heating solutions business. These five divested businesses had combined annualized sales of approximately $500 million. Additionally, in the first quarter of 2002, the Company acquired Avansys Power Co., Ltd., a provider of network power products to the telecommunications industry in China, for approximately $750 million in cash. The 2001 divestitures and the final F.G. Wilson proceeds resulted in total gains of $187 million in 2001, which were offset by ongoing costs incurred for the rationalization of operations and other items.

To accelerate cost reductions and better position the Company for the global economic environment, in the fourth quarter of 2001, the Company recognized a pretax incremental repositioning charge of $377 million ($260 million after-tax, or $0.61 per share). Cost of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses and other deductions, net include charges of $89 million, $51 million and $237 million, respectively. The charge was primarily non-cash and was mainly associated with the planned disposition of facilities, exiting the manufacturing of non-strategic product lines and the writedown of inventory. See note 3 for additional information.

Total Costs and Expenses
Cost of sales was $10.1 billion in 2001, an increase of 1.0 percent. In 2000, cost of sales was $10.0 billion, compared with $9.2 billion in 1999. Cost of sales as a percent of net sales was 65.4 percent in 2001 and 64.4 percent in 2000 and 1999. Despite slowing business conditions, the impact of recent acquisitions and the repositioning charge, gross profit margins have remained at high levels as a result of a disciplined ongoing focus on cost reductions, including the companywide intranet-based consolidation of material purchases and other e-business activities, which continue to drive solid margins.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $3.1 billion, $3.0 billion and $2.8 billion in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. As a percent of net sales, SG&A expenses were 19.9 percent, 19.2 percent and 19.4 percent in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The increase in SG&A as a percent of net sales in 2001 was primarily due to the impact of recent acquisitions and the effect of the repositioning charge. The Company continued its commitment to technology investment with engineering and development expense of $594 million in 2001 and 2000, and $510 million in 1999.

Interest expense increased to $304 million in 2001 from $288 million in the prior year. In 2000, interest expense increased from $190 million in 1999. These increases primarily reflect higher average borrowings resulting from acquisitions and share repurchases.

Other deductions, net, including amortization of intangibles, were $386 million in 2001, compared with $75 million and $95 million in 2000 and 1999, respectively. The increase in 2001 was primarily due to the repositioning charge discussed above. Fiscal 2001 included a gain of $60 million from the disposition of the Sweco specialty separation business and a gain of $55 million from the disposition of the Xomox valve business. Also in 2001, the Company and Crane Co. formed a joint venture combining Emerson's Commercial Cam Co. subsidiary and Crane Co.'s Ferguson Company division, which resulted in a gain of $24 million. Fiscal 2000 included a gain of $80 million from the disposition of the Company's interest in the Krautkramer non-destructive testing business and a gain of approximately $37 million due to the disposition of the Company's interest in Vermont American. Fiscal 1999 included a gain of $64 million from the disposition of the Company's interest in F.G. Wilson. These gains were offset by costs incurred for the rationalization of operations and other items.

Income Before Income Taxes
Income before income taxes decreased $590 million, or 27.1 percent, to $1.6 billion in 2001. These results were led by a sharp decline in second-half sales, reflecting an unprecedented decline in customer demand for network power products in the Electronics and Telecommunications business, and rationalization and other charges. The following discussions of segment earnings exclude the incremental repositioning charges. Earnings before interest and income taxes in the Process Control business were $360 million in 2001, a 28 percent increase from 2000, reflecting broad strength across virtually all areas of the business and rationalization of the cost structure completed over the past two years. The Industrial Automation business earnings were $400 million in 2001, a decrease of 14 percent from 2000, due to the steep downturn in industrial capital goods spending, divestitures and a stronger U.S. dollar. Earnings of the Electronics and Telecommunications business were $359 million in 2001, a decrease from 2000, reflecting the deleverage impact on profits resulting from the declining sales volume and higher costs for the rationalization of operations. Earnings of the HVAC business decreased $35 million, or 9 percent, to $347 million in 2001, due to lower U.S. demand for air conditioning and refrigeration products in all markets. The Appliance and Tools business earnings decreased to $503 million, or 13 percent, from 2000, primarily due to decreases in volume and the Vermont American divestiture. See note 12 for additional information by business segment and geographic area.

Income before income taxes increased $157 million, or 7.8 percent, to $2.2 billion in 2000, reflecting a strong sales increase, programs to generate improvement in underlying margins and the negative impact of currency translation. Earnings before interest and income taxes in the Process Control business were $281 million in 2000, a decrease from 1999, reflecting weak demand in the process markets and a stronger U.S. dollar. The Industrial Automation business earnings were $466 million in 2000, in line with 1999, due to moderate sales growth and acquisitions, offset by divestitures and currency exchange. Earnings of the Electronics and Telecommunications business increased $213 million, or 91 percent, to $447 million in 2000, due to robust sales growth and acquisitions. Earnings of the HVAC business increased $21 million, or 6 percent, to $382 million in 2000, driven by very strong sales growth in international markets. The Appliance and Tools business earnings decreased $7 million, to $581 million, with increased underlying sales volume in the tools operations offset by the Vermont American divestiture.

16

Income Taxes
Income taxes were $557 million, $756 million and $707 million in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The effective tax rate was 35.1 percent in 2001, compared with 34.7 percent in 2000 and 35.0 percent in 1999, reflecting the net effect of ongoing global tax planning strategies and the impact of acquisitions and divestitures.

Net Earnings and Return on Equity
Net earnings for 2001 were $1.0 billion, down 27.5 percent from $1.4 billion in 2000. Net earnings as a percent of sales was 6.7 percent in 2001 and 9.2 percent in 2000. Diluted earnings per common share were $2.40 in 2001, down 27.3 percent from $3.30 in 2000. Excluding the repositioning charge, earnings were $1.3 billion and earnings per share were $3.01 in 2001, both down 9 percent from 2000. Earnings per share excluding the charge and goodwill amortization were $3.36 in 2001, down 7 percent from $3.63 in 2000. Return on average stockholders' equity was 16.5 percent, 22.6 percent and 21.9 percent in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Net earnings for 2000 were up 8.3 percent from $1.3 billion in 1999. Diluted earnings per common share in 2000 were up 10.0 percent from $3.00 in 1999. Earnings per share excluding goodwill amortization in 2000 were up 11.0 percent from $3.27 in the prior year.

Financial Position, Capital Resources and Liquidity

The Company continues to generate substantial cash from operations and remains in a strong financial position with resources available for reinvestment in existing businesses, strategic acquisitions and managing the capital structure on a short- and long-term basis.

Cash Flow
Emerson generated operating cash flow of $1.7 billion in 2001, down 7.2 percent from the prior year. Operating cash flow in 2000 increased 1.6 percent compared with 1999. Decreases in operating working capital as a percentage of sales have been offset by increased pension contributions. In 2001, average operating working capital as a percentage of sales was 14.1 percent compared with 14.7 percent and 15.8 percent in 2000 and 1999, respectively.

Free cash flow (operating cash flow less capital expenditures) increased in 2001, driven by a 20 percent decrease in capital spending. Capital expenditures were $554 million, $692 million and $592 million in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The Company expects to again reduce capital spending in 2002. Cash paid in connection with Emerson's purchase acquisitions was $200 million, $1,972 million and $1,202 million in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

Dividends were a record $654 million ($1.53 per share, up 7 percent) in 2001, compared with $613 million ($1.43 per share) in 2000, and $566 million ($1.30 per share) in 1999. In November 2001, the Board of Directors voted to increase the quarterly cash dividend to an annualized rate of $1.55 per share and authorized an additional 40 million shares of the Company's outstanding common stock to be repurchased over approximately the next five years. Nearly all of the 40 million shares, previously authorized in November 1996, were repurchased by the end of 2001. Net purchases of treasury stock totaled $534 million, $376 million and $324 million in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

Leverage/Capitalization
Total debt increased to $4.7 billion in 2001, from $4.6 billion in 2000 and $3.3 billion in 1999, reflecting the impact of acquisitions and the Company's share repurchase program. The total debt-to-capital ratio was 43.5 percent at year-end 2001, compared with 41.8 percent in 2000 and 34.6 percent in 1999. At September 30, 2001, net debt (total debt less cash and equivalents and short-term investments) was 41.5 percent of net capital, compared with 40.2 percent of net capital in 2000 and 32.7 percent in 1999. The Company's interest coverage ratio
(income before income taxes and interest expense divided by interest expense)
was 6.2 times in 2001, compared with 8.6 times in 2000 and 11.7 times in 1999, primarily reflecting lower earnings and higher average borrowings resulting from acquisitions and share repurchases. See notes 3, 5 and 6 for additional information.

17

At year-end 2001, the Company and its subsidiaries maintained lines of credit amounting to $3 billion to support commercial paper and had available non-U.S. bank credit facilities of $440 million to support non-U.S. operations. Lines of credit totaling $1.5 billion are effective until 2005, with the remainder through April 2002. These lines of credit and bank credit facilities assure the availability of funds at prevailing interest rates. In addition, as of September 30, 2001, the Company could issue up to $2 billion of additional debt securities under its shelf registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Subsequent to year-end, the Company issued $250 million of 5.75%, 10-year notes and $250 million of 5 5/8%, 12-year notes which were used to reduce commercial paper borrowings.

Financial Instruments
The Company is exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates, copper and other commodity prices and European and other foreign currency exchange rates, and selectively uses derivative financial instruments, including forwards, swaps and purchased options, to manage these risks. The Company does not hold derivatives for trading purposes. The value of market risk sensitive derivative and other financial instruments is subject to change as a result of movements in market rates and prices. Sensitivity analysis is one technique used to evaluate these impacts. Based on a hypothetical ten-percent increase in interest rates, ten-percent decrease in commodity prices or ten-percent weakening in the U.S. dollar across all currencies, the potential losses in future earnings, fair value and cash flows are immaterial. This method has limitations; for example, a weaker U.S. dollar would benefit future earnings through favorable translation of non-U.S. operating results and lower commodity prices would benefit future earnings through lower cost of sales. See notes 1, 4, 5 and 6.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." FAS 142, which Emerson has the option to adopt in fiscal 2002 or 2003, requires, among other things, the discontinuance of goodwill amortization for business combinations before July 1, 2001, and completion of a transitional goodwill impairment test within six months from the date of adoption. The Company is in the process of reviewing the provisions of this statement and evaluating its impact on the financial statements. Goodwill amortization was $164 million in 2001, and will be discontinued upon adoption.

In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," which addresses the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets and the reporting of discontinued operations. The Company is in the process of reviewing the provisions of this statement, which must be adopted by 2003, to evaluate its impact on the financial statements.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Emerson Electric Co. and Subsidiaries

(Dollars in millions except per share amounts)

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its controlled affiliates. All significant intercompany transactions, profits and balances are eliminated in consolidation. Other investments of 20 to 50 percent are accounted for by the equity method. Investments of less than 20 percent are carried at cost.

Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency of nearly all of the Company's non-U.S. subsidiaries is the local currency. Adjustments resulting from the translation of financial statements are reflected as a separate component of stockholders' equity.

Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. The majority of inventory values are based upon standard costs which approximate average costs, while the remainder are principally valued on a first-in, first-out basis. Standard costs are revised at the beginning of the fiscal year. The effect of resetting standards and operating variances incurred during each period are allocated between inventories and cost of sales.

Property, Plant and Equipment
The Company records investments in land, buildings, and machinery and equipment at cost. Depreciation is computed principally using the straight-line method over estimated service lives. Service lives for principal assets are 30 to 40 years for buildings and 8 to 12 years for machinery and equipment. Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events and changes in business circumstances indicate the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. Impairment losses are recognized based on fair value if expected future cash flows of the related assets are less than their carrying values.

Goodwill
Assets and liabilities related to business combinations accounted for as purchase transactions are recorded at their respective fair values. Goodwill is amortized on a straight-line basis to other deductions over the periods estimated to be benefited, not exceeding 40 years. In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations." FAS 141 requires the purchase method of accounting, eliminates the pooling-of-interests method, and eliminates the amortization of goodwill for business combinations after June 30, 2001.

Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes substantially all of its revenues through the sale of manufactured products and records the sale as products are shipped and title passes to the customer.

Financial Instruments
Effective October 1, 2000, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," 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 financial statements. For derivative instruments designated as a cash flow hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative is deferred as a separate component of stockholders' equity until recognized in earnings with the underlying hedged item. For derivative instruments designated as a fair value hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative and the offsetting gain or loss on the hedged item are recognized immediately in earnings. Currency fluctuations on non-U.S. dollar obligations that have been designated as hedges of non-U.S. net asset exposures are included in accumulated other nonstockholder changes in equity.

Income Taxes
No provision is made for U.S. income taxes on the undistributed earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries (approximately $1,561 at September 30, 2001), primarily because retention of a significant portion of these earnings is considered essential for continuing operations. In those cases in which distributions have been made, additional income taxes, if any, have been minimal due to available foreign tax credits.

Nonstockholder Changes in Equity
Nonstockholder changes in equity are primarily comprised of net earnings and foreign currency translation adjustments. Accumulated translation adjustments were $679 and $579 at September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

24

Financial Statement Presentation
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

(2) Weighted Average Common Shares

Basic earnings per common share consider only the weighted average of common shares outstanding while diluted earnings per common share consider the dilutive effects of stock options, incentive shares and convertible securities. Reconciliations of weighted average common shares for basic earnings per common share and diluted earnings per common share follow (shares in millions):

In 2001, the Company acquired Saab Marine Electronics AB, a manufacturer of radar level gauging equipment, and other smaller businesses. During the first quarter of 2001, the Company received $75 from the divestiture of the Sweco specialty separation business resulting in a pretax gain of $60. The Company sold its Xomox valve business for $145 resulting in a pretax gain of $55 in the third quarter of 2001. During the fourth quarter of 2001, the Company and Crane Co. formed a joint venture combining Emerson's Commercial Cam Co. subsidiary and Crane Co.'s Ferguson Company division. The transaction resulted in a pretax gain of approximately $24, and the venture is accounted for by the equity method. These transactions and the final F.G. Wilson proceeds resulted in total gains of $187 related to divestitures in 2001, which were offset by ongoing costs for the rationalization of operations and other items. In the first quarter of 2002, the Company acquired Avansys Power Co., Ltd., a provider of network power products to the telecommunications industry in China, for approximately $750 in cash.

In the fourth quarter of 2001, the Company recognized a pretax incremental repositioning charge of $377 ($260 after-tax) for the consolidation and rationalization of operations of $136, exiting the manufacturing of certain product lines of $124, and the writedown of certain non-strategic investments and other costs of $52. In addition, the charge includes the writedown of inventory to realizable value of $65 associated with the rapid acceleration of sales growth in 2000 and subsequent sharp decline in mid-year 2001, particularly in the Electronics and Telecommunications business. These charges were in addition to the recurring costs of operations and ongoing cost reduction and productivity improvement programs. Cost of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses and other deductions, net include charges of $89, $51 and $237, respectively.

Costs associated with the consolidation and rationalization of operations to improve the cost structure are primarily related to the Electronics and Telecommunications, Appliance and Tools and Process Control businesses, and include the writedown of fixed assets to liquidation value of $62, impairment of intangibles of $30, severance related costs of $22, and lease termination and other costs of $22. The costs to exit the manufacturing of certain product lines are principally in the Appliance and Tools business and include the writedown of fixed assets, investment and inventory related items of $46, impairment of intangibles of $23, and other obligations of $55. In total, the charge relates to the exit from over twenty production and office facilities in the United States, Europe and Asia. The repositioning charge includes the elimination of approximately 2,900 positions, and an additional 1,100 positions will be provided for when announced in 2002, along with other period costs for shutdown and moving. See note 12 for the impact of the charges by business segment.

During the second quarter of 2000, the Company acquired Jordan Telecommunication Products, Inc. (renamed Emerson Telecommunication Products) for approximately $985. Emerson Telecom is a global provider of fiber optic conduit systems, custom cables and connectors for wireline, wireless and data communications equipment, CATV components, power protection systems, and cellular site structures. In the third quarter of 2000, the Company acquired Ericsson Energy Systems (renamed Emerson Energy Systems), a global provider of power supplies, power systems, switching equipment, climate control and energy management systems, and site monitoring services to the telecommunications industry, for approximately $725. In addition, the Company acquired Knaack, a manufacturer of professional tool storage equipment, and other smaller businesses. The companies acquired in 2000 had annualized sales of approximately $1,160.

The Company received $86 from the disposition of its interest in the Krautkramer non-destructive testing business resulting in a pretax gain of approximately $80 during the third quarter of 2000. The second half of 2000 included a gain of approximately $37 due to the disposition of the Company's interest in Vermont American ("VA"). The Company also incurred costs for the rationalization of operations and other items that substantially offset these gains. Krautkramer, VA and another divestiture, BI Technologies, represent total annual 1999 sales of nearly $600.

During the first quarter of 1999, the Company purchased the Westinghouse Process Control Division ("WPC") from CBS Corporation for approximately $260. WPC is a supplier of process controls for the power generation, water and wastewater treatment industries. In addition, in the first and second quarters of 1999, the Company paid $230 to acquire the remaining ownership interest in Astec (BSR) Plc. In the third quarter of 1999, the Company acquired Daniel Industries, Inc. through a cash tender offer of approximately $435 plus assumed debt. Daniel is a provider of measurement and control products and services for the oil and gas industry. In addition, the Company acquired MagneTek's alternator operations; Kato Engineering, an alternator business; and a number of smaller businesses in 1999. The companies acquired in 1999 had annualized sales of approximately $760.

The Company received $226 from the disposition of its interest in F.G. Wilson, resulting in a pretax gain of $64 ($30 net of income taxes), during 1999. The Company also incurred costs for the rationalization of other operations that more than offset this gain. In addition, the Company received a percentage of future F.G. Wilson revenue and received a total of $98 during 2000 and 2001. F.G. Wilson had sales of approximately $410 in 1998.

The results of operations of these businesses have been included in the Company's consolidated results of operations since the respective dates of acquisition and prior to the respective dates of divestiture.

(4) Financial Instruments

The Company selectively uses derivative financial instruments to manage interest costs, commodity prices and currency exchange risk. The Company does not hold derivatives for trading purposes. No credit loss is anticipated as the counterparties to these agreements are major financial institutions with high credit ratings.

To efficiently manage interest costs, the Company utilizes interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges of variable rate debt or fair value hedges of fixed rate debt. Also as part of its hedging strategy, the Company utilizes purchased option and forward exchange contracts and commodity swaps as cash flow hedges to minimize the impact of currency and commodity price fluctuations on transactions, cash flows and firm commitments. These contracts for the sale or purchase of European and other currencies and the purchase of copper and other commodities generally mature within one year, and gains and losses deferred in accumulated other nonstockholder changes in equity are not material.

Fair values of the Company's financial instruments are estimated by reference to quoted prices from market sources and financial institutions, as well as other valuation techniques. The estimated fair value of each of the Company's classes of financial instruments approximated the related carrying value at September 30, 2001 and 2000.

(5) Short-term Borrowings and Lines of Credit

Short-term borrowings and current maturities of long-term debt are summarized as follows:

In 2001, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement, which fixed the rate of $250 of commercial paper at 6.0 percent through December 2010. In 2000, the Company issued $300 of floating rate, one-year notes with an effective interest rate of 6.7 percent at September 30, 2000. Additionally, the Company issued 13 billion Japanese yen of commercial paper and simultaneously entered into a ten-year interest rate swap which fixed the rate at 2.2 percent. In 1999, the Company issued $250 of 5.125%, one-year notes that were simultaneously swapped to floating interest rates at a cost less than the Company's U.S. commercial paper, with an effective interest rate of 5.3 percent at September 30, 1999. In November 1996, the Company entered into a five-year interest rate swap which fixed the rate on $250 of commercial paper at 6.1 percent. The Company had 151 million of British pound notes with interest rates of 5.2 and 6.8 percent at September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively, swapped to $256 at U.S. commercial paper rates.

The Company and its subsidiaries maintained lines of credit amounting to $3,000 with various banks at September 30, 2001, to support commercial paper and to assure availability of funds at prevailing market interest rates. Lines of credit totaling $1,500 are effective until 2005 with the remainder through April 2002. There were no borrowings against U.S. lines of credit in the last three years. The Company's non-U.S. subsidiaries maintained bank credit facilities in various currencies approximating $490 ($440 unused) at September 30, 2001. In some instances, borrowings against these credit facilities have been guaranteed by the Company to assure availability of funds at favorable interest rates. In addition, as of September 30, 2001, the Company could issue up to $2,000 of additional debt securities under its shelf registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The assumed discount rates used in measuring the obligations as of September 30, 2001, 2000 and 1999, were 7.50 percent, 7.75 percent and 7.50 percent, respectively. The assumed health care cost trend rate for 2002 was 7.0 percent, declining to 4.5 percent in the year 2007. The assumed health care cost trend rate for 2001 was 7.0 percent, declining to 4.5 percent in the year 2006. A one-percentage-point increase or decrease in the assumed health care cost trend rate for each year would increase or decrease the obligation as of September 30, 2001, and the 2001 postretirement plan expense by less than five percent.

The Company's Incentive Shares Plans authorize the distribution of common stock to key management personnel. At September 30, 2001, 1,869,364 shares were outstanding with restriction periods of three to ten years, including 1,177,637 shares issued in 2001. In addition, 3,394,460 rights to receive common shares have been awarded, including 1,244,147 shares awarded in 2001, which are contingent upon accomplishing certain objectives by 2002. At September 30, 2001, approximately 3.6 million shares remained available for award under these plans.

The Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 in accounting for its stock plans. The compensation expense charged against income for the Company's incentive shares plans was immaterial. Had compensation expense for the Company's stock plans been determined in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," net earnings and diluted earnings per common share, respectively, would have been $1,012 and $2.36 per share in 2001, $1,401 and $3.25 per share in 2000, and $1,293 and $2.95 per share in 1999. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used for grants: risk-free interest rate of 5.7 percent, 6.5 percent and 4.7 percent, dividend yield of 2.3 percent, 2.3 percent and 2.1 percent, expected volatility of 25 percent, 22 percent and 17 percent for 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively, and expected life of five years for all years. The weighted average fair value of options granted was $12.03, $11.75 and $10.38 for 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

At September 30, 2001, 18,536,064 shares of common stock were reserved, including 18,475,481 shares for issuance under the Company's stock plans and 60,583 shares for conversion of the outstanding 8% convertible subordinated debentures at a price of $13.49 per share. During 2001, 10,118,900 treasury shares were acquired, and 2,267,630 treasury shares were issued.

Approximately 1.2 million preferred shares are reserved for issuance under a Preferred Stock Purchase Rights Plan. Under certain conditions involving acquisition of or an offer for 20 percent or more of the Company's common stock, all holders of Rights, except an acquiring entity, would be entitled (i) to purchase, at an exercise price of $260, common stock of the Company or an acquiring entity with a value twice the exercise price, or (ii) at the option of the Board, to exchange each Right for one share of common stock. The Rights remain in existence until November 1, 2008, unless earlier redeemed (at one-half cent per Right), exercised or exchanged under the terms of the plan.

Report of Management

The Company's management is responsible for the integrity and accuracy of the financial statements. Management believes that the financial statements for the three years ended September 30, 2001, have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles appropriate in the circumstances. In preparing the financial statements, management makes informed judgments and estimates where necessary to reflect the expected effects of events and transactions that have not been completed.

In meeting its responsibility for the reliability of the financial statements, management relies on a system of internal accounting control. This system is designed to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded and transactions are executed in accordance with management's authorization and recorded properly to permit the preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The design of this system recognizes that errors or irregularities may occur and that estimates and judgments are required to assess the relative cost and expected benefits of the controls. Management believes that the Company's accounting controls provide reasonable assurance that errors or irregularities that could be material to the financial statements are prevented or would be detected within a timely period.

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, which is composed solely of Directors who are not employees of the Company, is responsible for monitoring the Company's accounting and reporting practices. The Audit Committee meets with management and the internal auditors periodically to review the work of each and to monitor the discharge by each of its responsibilities. The Audit Committee also meets periodically with the independent auditors who have free access to the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors to discuss internal accounting control, auditing and financial reporting matters, as well as management advisory services.

The independent auditors are engaged to express an opinion on the Company's consolidated financial statements. Their opinion is based on procedures which they believe to be sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements contain no material errors.

Independent Auditors' Report

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Emerson Electric Co.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Emerson Electric Co. and subsidiaries as of September 30, 2001 and 2000, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended September 30, 2001. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Emerson Electric Co. and subsidiaries as of September 30, 2001 and 2000, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended September 30, 2001, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
