FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
Some of the statements in this document and any documents incorporated by
reference constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the U.S.
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements relate to
future events or our future financial performance and involve known and unknown
risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our or our industries'
actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially
different from those expressed or implied by any forward-looking statements. In
some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as
"may," "will," "could," "would," "should," "expect," "plan," "anticipate,"
"intend," "believe," "estimate," "predict," "potential" or "continue" or the
negative of those terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are
only predictions. Actual events or results may differ materially because of
market conditions in our industries or other factors. All of the forward-looking
statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the factors discussed
in this document and any documents incorporated by reference that describe risks
and factors that could cause results to differ materially from those projected
in these forward-looking statements.
We caution you that these risk factors may not be exhaustive. We operate in
a continually changing business environment, and new risk factors emerge from
time to time. We cannot predict these new risk factors, nor can we assess the
impact, if any, of these new risk factors on our businesses or the extent to
which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ
materially from those projected in any forward-looking statements. Accordingly,
you should not rely on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual
results. In addition, our estimates of future operating results are based on our
current complement of businesses, which is constantly subject to change as we
implement our fix, sell or grow strategy.

TECHNICAL PRODUCTS AND SYSTEMS
The operations in the Technical Products and Systems segment are focused on
solving customer problems with complete technology-based systems. The emphasis
is on growth through investment in new technology, new product introductions,
alliances and acquisitions.
The Technical Products and Systems segment includes four operating units:
- networking and switching products for storage, data and
telecommunications networks,
- fire detection and building life-safety systems,
- TV and radio transmission systems and
- automated fare collection systems.
Networking and Switching Products -- This unit, Inrange Technologies,
specializes in the design, manufacture, marketing and service of networking and
switching products for storage, data and telecommunications networks, including
fibre channel directors for storage area networks. Inrange's products provide
fast and reliable connections among networks of computers and related devices.
These products are used in Fortune 2000 businesses and other enterprises that
operate large-scale and diverse systems where open connectivity, reliability and
continuous availability are critical. Inrange focuses on high-end, large-scale,
fault tolerant products. Inrange's products have been installed at over 2,000
sites in 90 countries and are designed to be compatible with various vendors'
products and multiple communication standards and protocols. Competitors include
Brocade, McData and NetScout.
Inrange's fibre channel products are being developed to satisfy the growth
in storage and server connection requirements that are being driven by the
e-business revolution. Inrange was the first company in the fibre channel arena
to have developed, built and shipped a very large scale 64 port, fully redundant
director to enable the high-speed communications needed for today's expanding
storage area networks. A 128 port fibre channel director is expected to be
introduced in 2001.
We plan to invest significantly in research and development and
acquisitions in order to be a leader in the technological advances in this
industry. During 2000, Inrange completed the acquisitions of Computerm
Corporation and Varcom Corporation. Computerm's high performance channel
extension products and services allow storage networking applications to operate
over wide area networks. Two of Varcom's key network management offerings are
fully integrated into Inrange's Universal TouchPoint Architecture(TM).
In September 2000, Inrange issued its class B common stock for cash in an
initial public offering. As a result of the initial public offering, we owned
approximately 89.5% of the outstanding shares of Inrange common stock. We own
100% of outstanding class A common stock, which represents approximately 98% of
the combined voting power of all classes of Inrange voting stock. The Inrange
IPO resulted in net cash proceeds to Inrange of $128.2 million and a pre tax
gain of $98.0 ($57.6 million after-tax) recorded in our consolidated financial
statements in the third quarter of 2000.
For additional information about Inrange, please see Inrange's registration
statement on Form S-1 and Inrange's other public filings.
Building Life-Safety Systems -- This unit, Edwards Systems Technology,
produces and services fire detection products and integrated life-safety systems
to protect buildings and their occupants. These products are sold under the EST,
Mirtone, Edwards and Ziton brand names, and are also private branded for a
number of the world's leading building automation companies. Edwards' products
range from sensing devices with associated alarms to microprocessor-based fire
detection control equipment for commercial, institutional and industrial
customers. These systems take advantage of mandated fire protection standards by
integrating additional building control systems and bringing security and access
control up to fire system standards. This eliminates the need for separate
installations for fire protection, access control and closed circuit TV systems.
Edwards currently has the exclusive worldwide license for occluded optical
technology. This patented technology provides an improved strobe light pattern,
allowing for a low profile style that is aesthetically
2
4
pleasing and more cost effective to manufacture as well as install. The
acquisition of Ziton SA (Pty) Ltd. in September 2000 added complementary
technology, improved Edwards' global position and provided internationally based
manufacturing capabilities. The unit's main competitors include Simplex, Pittway
and Cerberus.
TV and Radio Transmission Systems -- Dielectric produces analog and digital
TV antennas, transmission lines and radio frequency filter systems for the TV
market, and cable dehydrator systems for communications infrastructure. Its
products, which include filters and combiners, transmission lines, antennas and
towers, are sold under the Dielectric brand name. Dielectric is a leading
supplier in the United States of broadcast antenna systems, including an array
of new products designed for the emerging digital transmission technology or
what is commonly known as High Definition Television, or HDTV. Dielectric also
is a leading supplier of antennas to FM radio stations and cable pressurization
equipment to telecommunications companies worldwide. Key competitors include
Myat and Andrew.
One of the growth drivers for this business is the emergence of HDTV in the
United States. The FCC has required that TV broadcasters transmit digital
signals, which are required by HDTV, by 2003. Since the usage of digital TV in
the United States is just beginning to emerge, TV broadcasters are required to
continue to transmit analog signals simultaneously with digital signals. We
expect Asia and South America eventually to follow U.S. standards, which may
further induce growth into this business. In the meantime, demand for analog
antenna systems continues to grow due to the desire for dual systems.
Our strategy for growing this business is to ultimately supply all the
products and services in the transmission system from the output transmitter to
the tower. One example is our acquisition of Central Tower for approximately
$16.0 in January 2001. Central Tower is a multifunctional provider of
communications structures including HDTV, broadcasting, two-way radio, cellular,
paging and personal communications services.
Automated Fare Collection Systems -- This unit manufactures and sells
automated fare collection systems for bus and rail transit systems, as well as
for postal vending, under the GFI Genfare brand. GFI Genfare is a leader in bus
fare collection systems in North America. While GFI Genfare is a market leader
on the bus side, it is a relatively small player in the rail business with
potential for growth. Demand for automated fare transit systems as well as the
level of federal funding is at a five-year high. This unit's main competitor is
Cubic.
GFI Genfare developed the Windows NT-based "System 7" management software
for its new generation Odyssey fare box. This technology provides municipal
transit systems with the custom transit data analysis and reporting features
they are demanding.
INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
The strategy of the Industrial Products and Services segment is to provide
"Productivity Solutions for Industry." The business emphasis is on introducing
new related services and products, as well as focusing on the replacement parts
and service elements of the business and growing through acquisitions. This
segment includes operations that design, manufacture and market power
transformers, industrial valves, mixers, laboratory and industrial ovens and
freezers, material handling systems and electric motors for industrial chemical
companies, pulp and paper manufacturers, laboratories and utilities.
Power Systems -- We believe our power systems unit, Waukesha Electric
Systems, is the domestic leader in both medium and large power transformers. We
believe we are also one of the nation's foremost producers of modular
substations. These products are sold under the Waukesha Electric Systems and
North American Transformer brand names to electrical utilities and heavy
industries such as paper, steel, mining, chemical and petrochemical. Key
competitors include Kuhlman, ABB and GE-Prolec.
North American Transformer, which we acquired in the fall of 1999, added
large power transformers extending Waukesha's traditional medium power market
focus.
3
5
Consumption of power is on the rise, and deregulation is driving demand
from independent power producers and industrial consumers. Waukesha has
prospects for additional growth in an expanding customer base in the industrial,
commercial and international markets. The acquisition of High Voltage Supply in
October 2000 expanded the replacement parts service offerings of this business.
We plan to grow this business by expanding the modular substation product
line and by making acquisitions like High Voltage Supply that provide
replacement parts and additional services. The deregulation of the electric
utility industry, which is leading the utilities to go through a capacity
expansion, is also expected to drive Power Systems' sales. To support this
growth, we are committing approximately $20 million of capital expenditures in
2001 to expand capacity in this business. We expect that the additional capacity
will be available in mid-summer 2001.
This unit is working with the Department of Energy and a consortium of
private companies to build the world's largest high-temperature
superconductivity power transformer. This new technology is intended to, over
the long term, provide performance and efficiencies in transmitting electrical
power.
Industrial Valves -- We are a leading producer of industrial valves for
gases, liquids, slurries and dry solids. We sell these products primarily to
water supply and wastewater treatment plants, pulp and paper manufacturing and
chemical processing industries under the DeZurik, PowerRac, Maxum, and
Copes-Vulcan brand names. The acquisition of Copes-Vulcan in September 2000
provides new technology, complementary products and services, and an expanded
international presence. We intend to grow our valve business by expanding our
parts and service offerings, and introducing new products.
Industrial Fluid Mixers and Agitators -- We are a global producer of
industrial fluid mixers and agitators, which we sell to the water and wastewater
treatment, chemical processing and minerals processing industries under the
Lightnin brand name. This unit competes with Chemineer and EKATO. We intend to
grow this business by expanding our parts and service offerings, and introducing
new products.
Lab & Industrial Ovens and Freezers -- Revco Technologies produces
ultra-low temperature, or ULT, freezers and specialized ovens for laboratories
and hospitals. This unit's products are sold under the Revco, Queue, Puffer,
Hubbard and Harris brand names. Revco is a market leader in ULT freezers, and
refrigerators used in life science, clinical and industrial research labs. The
acquisition of Jewett in September 2000 provides increased global presence,
particularly in the blood and plasma markets. Revco intends to expand into the
European market. The markets for Revco products, primarily life sciences, have
been growing.
Lindberg is a manufacturer of industrial ovens and furnaces that process
metal and electronic components used in a wide range of products including
automobiles, aircraft and computers. The brand names are Lindberg and Blue M.
The end markets include laboratories, metal processing and electronics
industries. Key competitors in this area include Surface Combustion, Sanyo and
Despatch. This business unit also produces a line of crystal growing equipment,
marketed under the well-known Kayex brand. Leybold is the main competitor for
this product line.
Hydraulic Systems -- We are a leading producer and marketer of medium and
high-pressure hydraulic pumps and high force tools. These products are marketed
under the SPX Fluid Power, Power Team and Hytec brand names. In March 2000, we
completed the acquisition of Fenner Fluid Power, a provider of medium-pressure
hydraulic power systems components with operations in Rockford, Illinois and
Romford, England. Customers include the construction, aerospace and industrial
maintenance markets. This division competes with Enerpac, Monarch and Haldex
Barnes.
Material Handling Systems -- We manufacture and sell coal feed systems and
boiler auxiliary controls primarily to electric utilities and paper
manufacturers, as well as flow measurement devices for water and wastewater
treatment. The products are sold under the Stock Equipment, Solvera and BIF
brand names.
Electric Motors -- We produce universal, blower and permanent magnet
fractional horsepower electric motors under the GS Electric brand name. These
motors are sold primarily to home appliance manufacturers. This unit competes
with Ametek, Northland and Mamco.

SERVICE SOLUTIONS
Service Solutions includes operations that design, manufacture and market a
wide range of specialty service tools, hand-held diagnostic systems and service
equipment, and technical and training information, primarily to the motor
vehicle industry in North America and Europe. Major customers are franchised
dealers of motor vehicle manufacturers, aftermarket vehicle service facilities
and independent distributors. The Service Solutions segment includes three
operating units:
- Diagnostic Systems and Service Equipment,
- Specialty Tools, and
- Technical Information and Other Services.
Diagnostic Systems and Service Equipment -- Diagnostic Systems and Service
Equipment designs, manufactures and markets hand-held diagnostic systems and
service equipment for original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, national
accounts and independent repair facilities, and is the largest portion of the
Service Solutions segment. Diagnostic systems are sold under the OTC, Bear,
Tecnotest, Robinair and Allen Testproducts brand names. The products compete
with brands such as Snap-On and ESP. We intend to grow this business by
developing new service solution capabilities and strengthening alliances in
hand-held diagnostics.
Specialty Tools -- We believe we are the world leader in the design,
manufacture and marketing of specialty service tools for motor vehicle
manufacturers' dealership networks. We are also a major producer of electronic
engine diagnostic equipment and emissions testing equipment in North America and
Europe. The key competitive factors influencing the sale of specialty service
tools are design expertise, timeliness of delivery, quality, service and price.
Sales of specialty service tools essential to dealerships tend to vary with
changes in vehicle systems design and the number of dealerships, and are not
directly dependent on the volume of vehicles produced by the motor vehicle
manufacturers.
Technical Information and Other Services -- This unit provides customers
with integrated service, technical and training information for vehicle OEMs. We
also administer dealer equipment programs for OEMs, including General Motors,
DaimlerChrysler, Nissan Motor, Hyundai, Mobil, Michelin and Mercedes-Benz.

EGS under the equity method of accounting, on a three-month lag basis. See Note
9 to the consolidated financial statements for further discussion.
INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS
We are a multinational corporation with operations in nineteen countries.
Our international operations are subject to the risk of possible currency
devaluation and blockage, nationalization or restrictive legislation regulating
foreign investments and other risks attendant to the countries in which they are
located.
Our total export sales from the United States to both affiliated and
unaffiliated customers were as follows:
2000 1999 1998
------ ------ ------
Export sales:
To unaffiliated customers........................... $242.7 $247.5 $181.9
To affiliated customers............................. 81.7 80.1 77.0
------ ------ ------
Total.......................................... $324.4 $327.6 $258.9
====== ====== ======
See Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements for more information on
our business segments and geographic areas.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
We are actively engaged in research and development programs designed to
improve existing products and manufacturing methods and to develop new products.
These efforts encompass all of our products with divisional engineering teams
coordinating their resources. We have placed particular emphasis on the
development of new products that are compatible with, and build upon, our
manufacturing and marketing capabilities.
We spent approximately $74.5 on research activities relating to the
development and improvement of our products in 2000, $76.0 in 1999 and $73.4 in
1998.
PATENTS/TRADEMARKS
We own over 400 domestic patents, including over 40 domestic patents that
were issued in the year 2000, and numerous foreign patents covering a variety of
our products and manufacturing methods, and we also own a number of registered
trademarks. Although in the aggregate our patents and trademarks are of
considerable importance in the operation of our businesses, we do not consider
any single patent or trademark to be of such material importance that its
absence would adversely affect our ability to conduct business as presently
constituted. We are both a licensor and licensee of patents. See Note 15 to the
consolidated financial statements for further discussion. Also please refer to
"Factors That May Affect Future Results" in Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and "Forward-Looking Information" presented above.
RAW MATERIALS
We manufacture many of the components used in our products. We also
purchase a variety of basic materials and component parts. We believe that we
will generally be able to obtain adequate supplies of major items or reasonable
substitutes at reasonable costs.
6

COMPETITION
Although our businesses are in highly competitive markets, the competitive
position cannot be determined accurately in the aggregate or by segment since
our competitors do not offer all of the same product lines or serve all of the
same markets, nor are reliable comparative figures available for many of our
competitors. In most product groups, competition comes from numerous concerns,
both large and small. The principal methods of competition are price, service,
product performance and technical innovation. These methods vary with the type
of product sold. We believe that we can compete effectively on the basis of each
of these factors as they apply to the various products offered.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
See Note 15, Commitments and Contingent Liabilities, of the consolidated
financial statements for information regarding environmental matters.
EMPLOYMENT
At December 31, 2000, we had approximately 14,000 employees. Approximately
2,175 employees are represented by nine different collective bargaining units.
We have generally experienced satisfactory labor relations at our various
locations.
OTHER MATTERS
No customer or group of customers under common control accounted for more
than 10% of our consolidated sales.
All of our businesses are required to maintain sufficient levels of working
capital to support customer requirements, particularly inventory. Our
businesses' sales terms and payment terms are generally similar to our
competitors.
The majority of our businesses tend to be nonseasonal and closely follow
changes in the industrial and motor vehicle markets and general economic
conditions.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
The following should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial
statements and the related notes. All dollar amounts are in millions except per
share amounts.
OVERVIEW
We are a global provider of technical products and systems, industrial
products and services, service solutions, and vehicle components. Our products
include storage area network, fire detection and building life-safety products,
TV and radio broadcast antennas and towers, transformers, substations and
industrial mixers and valves. Our products and services also include specialty
service tools, diagnostic systems, service equipment, technical information
services and vehicle components. With over 14,000 employees worldwide, we are a
multinational corporation with operations in 19 countries.
Listed below is a summary of non-operating gains, special charges and other
charges:
INRANGE IPO
In September 2000, Inrange Technologies, one of our business units, issued
8,855,000 shares of its class B common stock for cash in an initial public
offering. Proceeds from the offering, based on the offering price of $16.00 per
share, net of expenses, were $128.2. Accordingly, we recorded a pretax gain of
$98.0 ($57.6 after-tax) in the third quarter of 2000. See Note 5 of the
consolidated financial statements for further discussion of the gain on issuance
of Inrange stock.
OTHER INCOME
In 2000, other income of $22.2 is primarily comprised of the settlement of
a patent infringement suit by General Signal Power Systems, against American
Power Conversion Corporation. We received gross proceeds of $48.0 and recognized
a pretax gain of $23.2, net of legal costs and other related expenses ($13.7
after-tax). In 1999, other income of $64.3 is primarily comprised of a $23.8
pretax gain on the sale of Best Power, a $29.0 gain on the sale of Dual-Lite and
our 50% investment in a Japanese joint venture, and a $13.9 gain on the sale of
marketable securities.
SPECIAL CHARGES
As part of our Value Improvement Process(R), we right size and consolidate
operations to drive results. Additionally, due to our aggressive acquisition
strategy, from time to time we alter our business model to better serve customer
demand, fix or discontinue lower-margin product lines and rationalize and
consolidate manufacturing capacity to maximize EVA improvement. As an outcome of
this process, we recorded special charges of $90.9 in 2000, $38.4 in 1999 and
$101.7 in 1998. These special charges are primarily associated with
restructuring initiatives to consolidate manufacturing and sales facilities,
rationalize certain product lines and asset impairments. See Note 4 to the
consolidated financial statements for further discussion.
OTHER CHARGES
During 2000 and 1998, we recorded certain other charges. In 2000, we
recorded $12.3 of charges against cost of goods sold for discontinued products
associated with restructuring and other product changes primarily in the Service
Solutions segment. In 1998, we recorded $5.5 of charges in the third quarter
associated with the termination of a plan to spin off Inrange Technologies. In
the fourth quarter of 1998, we recorded $102.7 of charges primarily associated
with information obtained as a result of the General Signal merger, operating
actions initiated during the quarter, and new management's review of the former
GSX businesses' assets and liabilities. See Note 4 to the consolidated financial
statements for further discussion.

Capital expenditures................................. $ 123.3 $ 102.0 $ 93.1
Depreciation and amortization........................ 110.9 105.4 107.0
Revenues -- In 2000, revenues were $2,678.9, a decrease of $33.4, or 1.2%,
from revenues of $2,712.3 in 1999. This decrease was primarily due to the
divestiture of Best Power on December 30, 1999. Excluding the effect of
acquisitions and divestitures, revenues in 2000 increased 3.6% from revenues in
1999 primarily due to
13
15
growth in the Technical Products and Systems and Industrial Products and
Services segments. In 1999, revenues increased $192.9, or 7.7%, compared to pro
forma revenues of $2,519.4 in 1998. This increase was primarily due to internal
growth in all four business segments.
Gross margin -- In 2000, we recorded other charges of $12.3 associated with
restructuring and other product changes to cost of goods sold. Excluding other
charges, gross margin increased to 34.1% of revenues compared 33.3% of revenues
in 1999. This increase in gross profit margin is primarily a result of
restructuring actions to properly size the business and contain costs, offset by
plant start up costs and a decrease in margins due to volume in the Vehicle
Components segment. In 1999, gross margin increased to 33.3% compared to 29.6%
in pro forma 1998 primarily due to strong revenues and restructuring actions
initiated throughout the business.
Selling, general and administrative expense (SG&A) -- In 2000, SG&A
expenses were $495.2, or 18.5% of revenues, compared to $508.3, or 18.7% of
revenues in 1999. The decrease in SG&A expenses is primarily a result of
restructuring actions and other cost reduction actions initiated throughout the
businesses. In 1999, SG&A decreased $89.3 to 18.7% of revenues, compared to pro
forma SG&A expenses of $597.6 or 23.7% of revenues in 1998. The decrease in SG&A
is primarily a result of restructuring actions and other charges incurred in
1998. See Note 4 to the consolidated financial statement for further discussion.
Goodwill/intangible amortization -- In 2000, goodwill and intangible
amortization was $40.0 compared to $42.4 in 1999. The decrease in amortization
of $2.4 is primarily due to the divestiture of Best Power on December 30, 1999
offset by additional amortization associated with acquisitions in the Technical
Products and Systems and Industrial Products and Services segments. In 1999,
amortization was slightly higher than pro forma 1998 amortization of $41.9 due
to acquisitions throughout the businesses.
Special charges -- We recorded special charges of $90.9 in 2000, $38.4 in
1999 and $101.7 in 1998. These special charges are mostly associated with
restructuring initiatives to consolidate manufacturing and sales facilities,
rationalize certain product lines and asset impairments. See Note 4 to the
consolidated financial statements for further discussion.
Gain on Issuance of Inrange Stock -- In September 2000, Inrange
Technologies, one of our business units, issued 8,855,000 shares of its class B
common stock for cash in an initial public offering. Proceeds from the offering,
based on the offering price of $16.00 per share, net of expenses, were $128.2.
Accordingly, we recorded a pretax gain of $98.0 ($57.6 after-tax) in the third
quarter of 2000. See Note 5 of the consolidated financial statements for further
discussion of the gain on issuance of Inrange stock.
Other income, net -- In 2000, other income of $22.2 is primarily comprised
of the settlement of a patent infringement suit by General Signal Power Systems,
against American Power Conversion Corporation. We received gross proceeds of
$48.0 and recognized a pretax gain of $23.2, net of legal costs and other
related expenses ($13.7 after-tax). In 1999, other income of $64.3 is primarily
comprised of a $23.8 pretax gain on the sale of Best Power, a $29.0 gain on the
sale of Dual-Lite and our 50% investment in a Japanese joint venture, and a
$13.9 gain on the sale of marketable securities. 1998 pro forma other income
primarily includes a gain on the investment in Echlin Inc.
Interest expense, net -- In 2000, interest expense was $95.0, a decrease of
$22.6 compared to interest expense of $117.6 in 1999. The decrease in interest
expense is due to lower rates on the credit facility negotiated in February of
2000 and lower average debt levels. In 1999, interest expense decreased $4.6
compared to pro forma 1998 interest expense of $122.2. This decrease is
primarily due to lower debt levels in 1999.
Income taxes -- In 2000, our effective tax rate from continuing operations
was 40.9%. The effective tax rate is higher than the U.S. statutory rate mainly
due to the amortization of nondeductible goodwill and state taxes. In 1999, our
effective tax rate from continuing operations was 63.5%. The relatively high
rate in 1999 was due to the low tax basis of operations divested during the
year. Excluding the impact of these divestitures, the effective income tax rate
was 40.5%. In pro forma 1998, the difference between the statutory rate and the
effective rate is primarily caused by non-deductible goodwill amortization and
other non-deductible expenses related to business divestitures.
14
16
Capital expenditures -- In 2000, capital expenditures were $123.3, an
increase of $21.3, compared to $102.0 in 1999. The increase in capital
expenditures in 2000 was principally due to the expansion of manufacturing
facilities, capital to support new business programs and expenditures for new
business information systems. In 1999, capital expenditures increased $8.9
compared $93.1 in pro forma 1998. This increase was principally due expenditures
for new business information systems.

TECHNICAL PRODUCTS AND SYSTEMS
Revenues in 2000 were $634.0, a decrease of $147.1, or 18.8%, from revenues
of $781.1 in 1999. This decrease in revenues is due to the divestiture of Best
Power on December 30, 1999. Excluding acquisitions and divestitures, revenues
increased 11.2% primarily due to demand for Inrange's FC/9000 fibre channel
director, demand for fire detection and building life-safety products and
services, and growth in postal vending machine
15
17
revenues. In 1999, revenues increased $62.3, or 8.7%, compared to $718.8 in
1998. This increase was primarily a result of strength in sales of building
life-safety systems, digital TV transmission systems and automated fare
collection systems.
Operating Income in 2000 was $110.1, an increase of $2.0 compared to $108.1
in 1999. Excluding special charges of $10.0 in 2000 and $13.1 in 1999, operating
income increased to 18.8% of revenues in 2000 compared to 15.5% of revenues in
1999. This increase is primarily due to process improvements and the divestiture
of lower-margin businesses offset by increased spending associated with the
FC/9000 fibre channel director products. In 1999, operating income increased
$69.6, or 180.8%, compared to pro forma operating income of $38.5 in 1998. This
increase was primarily due to increased revenue growth and cost savings realized
from restructuring actions. See Notes 3 and 4 of the consolidated financial
statements for further discussion.
INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
Revenues in 2000 were $982.9, an increase of $138.0, or 16.3%, compared to
$844.9 in 1999. This increase is primarily due to the acquisitions of North
American Transformer in September 1999 and Fenner Fluid Power in March 2000.
Excluding acquisitions and divestitures, revenues increased 4.3% due to demand
for laboratory equipment and medium-power transformers despite softness in the
pulp and paper, chemical and petrochemical and other process end markets. In
1999, revenues increased $25.1, or 3.1%, compared to pro forma revenues of
$819.8 in 1998. This increase was attributed to internal growth of power
transformers, laboratory equipment and electric motors.
Operating Income in 2000 was $142.2, an increase of $7.9, or 5.9%, compared
to $134.3 in 1999. Excluding special charges and other charges of $40.4 in 2000
and $17.9 in 1999, operating income increased to 18.6% of revenues in 2000
compared to 18.0% in 1999. This increase was principally due to higher revenues,
restructuring actions and other cost saving initiatives implemented throughout
the segment. In 1999, operating income increased $28.6, or 27.1%, compared to
pro forma operating income of $105.7 in 1998. This increase is primarily due to
restructuring actions initiated in late 1998. See Notes 3 and 4 of the
consolidated financial statements for further discussion.
SERVICE SOLUTIONS
Revenues in 2000 were $702.1, an increase of $2.5, or 0.4%, from 1999.
Revenues in 1999 included $55.0 of one-time sales of Worldwide Diagnostic
Systems (WDS) for Ford. In 1999, revenues increased $88.3 or 14.4% compared to
pro forma revenues of $611.3 in 1998. The increase in revenues is primarily a
result of several new specialty tool programs and the WDS sales to Ford.
Operating Income in 2000 was $38.1, a decrease of $23.6 compared to $61.7
in 1999. Excluding special and other charges of $32.6 in 2000, operating income
increased to 10.1% compared to 8.8% in 1999. This increase was mainly the result
of demand for higher margin diagnostic tools. In 1999, operating income
increased $16.9, or 37.7%, compared to pro forma operating income of $44.8 in
1998. This increase was primarily due to revenue growth and restructuring
actions initiated in 1998. See Notes 3 and 4 of the consolidated financial
statements for further discussion.
VEHICLE COMPONENTS
Revenues were $359.9 in 2000, a decrease of $26.8, or 6.9%, compared to
revenues of $386.7 in 1999. The decrease is primarily due to the divestiture of
Acutex in 1999, a decline in the forging business and overall softness in auto
production in the second half of the year. The decrease was offset by new orders
for P2000 die-castings. In 1999, revenues increased $17.2, or 4.7%, compared to
pro forma revenues of $369.5 in 1998. This increase was a result of increased
sales to European vehicle manufacturers.
Operating Income was $33.0 in 2000, a decline of $13.7, or 29.3%, compared
to $46.7 in 1999. Excluding special charges of $10.8 in 2000 and $7.4 in 1999,
operating income declined to 12.2% of revenues in 2000 compared to 14.0% in
1999. This decrease is primarily the result of the divestiture of Acutex,
changes in product mix and costs associated with the expansion of a new
manufacturing facility. In 1999, operating
16
18
income increased $0.7 or 1.5% from $46.0 in 1998. This increase is a result of
restructuring actions initiated in 1998. See Notes 3 and 4 of the consolidated
financial statements for further discussion.
GENERAL CORPORATE EXPENSES
General corporate expenses were $47.3 in 2000, an increase of $9.9,
compared to $37.4 in 1999. This increase is due to special charges of $9.4
recorded in 2000 associated with a write-down of an investment in certain
software licenses. Excluding special charges, corporate expenses declined $0.5
due to cost reduction efforts. In 1999, corporate expenses decreased $192.2, or
83.7% from pro forma corporate expenses of $229.6 in 1998. This decrease is
primarily due to $172.5 of special and other charges incurred in 1998.
Additionally, 1998 reflects the closing of the former General Signal
headquarters. See Notes 3 and 4 of the consolidated financial statements for
further discussion.

Net (decrease) increase in cash and equivalents............ $ (5.1) $ 8.5 $ 20.3
======= ======= ======
In 2000, cash flow from operating activities was $232.7 before the taxes
paid on the sale of Best Power, an increase of $20.9 compared to cash flow from
operating activities of $211.8 in 1999. The increase in operating cash flow was
primarily due to increased net income offset by a slight increase in working
capital. In 1999, operating cash flow increased $151.1 due to increased earnings
offset by an increase in net operating receivables and inventories, resulting
primarily from increased revenues.
In 2000, we paid $69.0 of taxes associated with the sale of Best Power on
December 30, 1999. See Note 6 of the consolidated financial statements for
further discussion.
In 2000, cash flow used in investing activities was $354.3, a decrease of
$502.8 compared to cash flow from investing activities of $148.5 in 1999. The
decrease was primarily due to the following:
- The proceeds from the sale of Best Power, Dual-Lite and Acutex included
in 1999;
- Cash used for capital expenditures of $123.3 in 2000 compared to $102.0
in 1999; and
- Cash used for business acquisitions increased by $124.4, or 129%,
compared to 1999.
In 1999, cash flow from investing activities increased by $216.4 compared
to cash flow used in investing activities of $67.9 in 1998. The increase was due
to the proceeds of Best Power, Dual-Lite and Acutex included in 1999. Capital
expenditures of $102.0 in 1999 were higher than those in 1998 primarily due to
computer system installations.
In 2000, cash flow from financing activities was $185.5, an increase of
$537.3, compared to cash flows used in financing activities of $351.8 in 1999.
The increase was the result of:
- Proceeds from the Inrange initial public offering of $128.2 included in
2000;
- Net borrowings under the new credit facility of $25.9 in 2000 compared to
net payments of $430.9 in 1999; and
17
19
- The repurchase of $138.8 of common stock in 2000, whereas we did not
repurchase common stock in 1999.
In 1999, cash flow used in financing activities decreased by $379.3,
compared to cash flow from financing activities of $27.5 in 1998. This decrease
was primarily due to net debt repayments of $400.9 in 1999.

(1) The unused credit availability was decreased by $29.7 of letters of credit
outstanding at January 31, 2001.
We are a party to a Credit Agreement, dated as of October 6, 1998 restated
as of February 10, 2000 (the "Old Credit Agreement"), and as further amended as
of January 31, 2001 (the "Restated Credit Agreement"). On February 10, 2000, we
paid down our existing Tranche B debt of $412.5 and revolver of $50.0, and
recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $15.0 pretax ($8.8 after-tax,
or $0.28 per share) and replaced the existing credit facility with a $1.4875
credit facility. As of December 31, 2000, the terms of the Old Credit Agreement
provided for: (a) $525.0 million of aggregate principal amount of Tranche A term
loans, (b) $496.3 million of aggregate principal amount of Tranche B term loans
and a commitment to provide a revolving credit facility of up to $425.0 million.
The total unused credit availability of $174.0 was decreased by $31.0 letters of
credit outstanding at December 31, 2000.
On January 31, 2001, we amended our old credit agreement. In this
amendment, the lenders agreed to provide an additional $300.0 million Tranche C
term loan and agreed to increase the revolving credit facility by $125.0 million
to $550.0 million.
The senior bank loans bear interest, at our option, at either the ABR plus
the Applicable Rate (the "ABR Loans") or the Eurodollar Rate plus the Applicable
Rate (the "Eurodollar Loans"). The ABR is the highest of:
(1) the rate of prime interest in effect plus 1.0%;
(2) the base CD rate in effect plus 1.0%; and
(3) the federal funds effective rate in effect plus 0.5%.
The Eurodollar Rate is the rate for Eurodollar deposits for a period equal
to one, two, three or six months appearing on the Dow Jones Market plus a
statutory reserve rate as specified in the Restated Credit Agreement.
The Applicable Rate means:
(1) in the case of the Tranche C term loans that are Eurodollar Loans,
2.50% per annum and in the case of the Tranche C term loans that are ABR
Loans, 1.50% per annum; and
18
20
(2) in the case of the other senior bank loans, the applicable per
annum rate based upon the Consolidated Leverage Ratio as set forth in the
pricing grid contained in the Restated Credit Agreement.
The revolving loans also are subject to annual commitment fees of 0.25% to
0.50% on the unused portion of the facility. The interest rates for the senior
bank loans will vary based upon the pricing grid contained in the Restated
Credit Agreement.
The Tranche A term loans, the Tranche B term loans and Tranche C term loans
are subject to mandatory prepayment upon the occurrence of certain events, such
as certain asset sales and the incurrence of additional indebtedness, and are
also subject to mandatory prepayment out of excess cash flow. We may voluntarily
repay the Tranche A term loans, the Tranche B term loans and the Tranche C term
loans in whole or in part at any time without penalty or premium. We are not
permitted to borrow any amounts that we repay on the Tranche A term loans, the
Tranche B term loans or the Tranche C term loans. The maturity for each loan is
as follows:
DATE OF MATURITY
------------------
Revolving loans.......................................... September 30, 2004
Tranche A term loans..................................... September 30, 2004
Tranche B term loans..................................... December 31, 2006
Tranche C term loans..................................... December 31, 2007
Aggregate maturities of total debt are $180.0 in 2002, $155.0 in 2003,
$456.2 in 2004, $34.3 in 2005 and $470.1 thereafter. Certain payments on
Tranches A and B and the Industrial Revenue Bonds are due in 2001, however,
these payments will be financed with excess revolver capacity and are classified
as long-term debt.
The revolving loans may be borrowed, prepaid, and reborrowed. Letters of
credit and swingline loans are also available under the revolving credit
facility. On the date of the closing of the Restated Credit Agreement, the
entirety of the revolving loans was available and no revolving loans were
outstanding. The facility provides for the issuance of letters of credit at any
time during the revolving availability period, in an aggregate amount not
exceeding $150.0 under the Old Credit Agreement as well as under the New Credit
Agreement. Standby letters of credit issued under this facility reduce the
aggregate amount available under the revolving loan commitment.
The Restated Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of our assets
(excluding EGS) and requires us to maintain certain leverage and interest
coverage ratios. Our obligations under the Restated Credit Agreement are
guaranteed by substantially all of our wholly owned domestic subsidiaries. They
are secured by a pledge of 100% of the stock of substantially all of our
domestic subsidiaries and 66% of the stock of our foreign subsidiaries and a
security interest in all of our assets and all of the assets of substantially
all of our wholly owned domestic subsidiaries. Under the most restrictive of the
financial covenants, we are required to maintain (as defined) a maximum debt to
earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ratio and a
minimum interest coverage ratio. Under the Restated Credit Facility, the
operating covenants, which limit, among other things, additional indebtedness,
the sale of assets, capital expenditures, mergers, acquisitions and dissolutions
and share repurchases; are less restrictive than those of the Old Credit
Facility.
We have effectively fixed the underlying Eurodollar rate at approximately
4.8% on $800.0 of indebtedness through interest rate protection agreements
through November of 2001.
On February 6, 2001, we issued Liquid Yield OptionTM Notes ("LYONs") at an
original price of $579.12 per $1,000 principal amount at maturity, resulting in
an aggregate initial issue price of $576.1 and an aggregate principal amount at
maturity of $995.8. The LYONs have a yield to maturity of 2.75% per year,
computed on a semi-annual bond equivalent basis, calculated from February 6,
2001. We will not pay interest on the LYONs prior to maturity unless contingent
interest becomes payable. The LYONs are subject to conversion to common shares
only if certain contingencies are met. These contingencies include: our average
trailing stock price exceeding predetermined accretive values each quarter; our
ability to maintain a defined credit rating; or upon the occurrence of certain
corporate transactions, including change in control. We may redeem all or a
portion of the LYONs for cash at any time on or after February 6, 2006 at
predetermined
19
21
redemption prices. Holders may require us to purchase all or a portion of their
LYONs on February 6, 2004, February 6, 2006 or February 6, 2011 at predetermined
redemption prices. In such event, we may choose to pay the purchase price in
cash, shares of common stock or a combination of cash and common stock. The
LYONs are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations.
STOCK BUYBACK
On February 10, 2000, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized
an increase in our share repurchase program for up to $250.0 effective
immediately. For the year ended December 31, 2000, we repurchased 1.3 million
shares of stock in the open market for a total consideration of $138.8. Of the
repurchases in 2000, 0.7 million shares were repurchased in the fourth quarter
for a total consideration of $88.7
PENSION INCOME
We recorded net pension income of $44.5 in 2000, $31.6 in 1999, and $19.7 in
1998. Our pension plans have plan assets in excess of plan obligations of
approximately $305.0 as of December 31, 2000. It is this significant overfunded
position that results in the recorded pension income as the increases in market
value of the plans' assets exceed the service, interest and other elements
associated with annual employee service. Future net pension expense or income is
dependent upon many factors including level of employee participation in the
plans, plan amendments, discount rates and the changes in market value of the
plans' assets, which, in turn depends on a variety of economic conditions.
Accordingly, there can be no assurance that future periods will include
significant amounts of net pension income.
FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS
OUR LEVERAGE MAY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS AND MAY RESTRICT OUR OPERATING FLEXIBILITY.
At February 14, 2001, after giving effect to the issuance of LYONs in
respect of the underwriters' over-allotment option for the LYONs, we had
approximately $1,923.6 in total indebtedness including the accrued amount of the
LYONs. At such date, we also had $550.0 of availability under the credit
facility. See Note 13 to the consoldiated financial statements for further
discussion. In addition, subject to certain restrictions set forth in the credit
facility, we may incur additional indebtedness in the future. The level of our
indebtedness could:
- limit cash flow available for general corporate purposes, such as
acquisitions and capital expenditures, due to the ongoing cash flow
requirements for debt service;
- limit our ability to obtain, or obtain on favorable terms, additional
debt financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures or
acquisitions;
- limit our flexibility in reacting to competitive and other changes in the
industry and economic conditions generally;
- expose us to a risk that a substantial decrease in net operating cash
flows could make it difficult to meet debt service requirements; and
- expose us to risks inherent in interest rate fluctuations because the
existing borrowings are and any new borrowings may be at variable rates
of interest, which could result in higher interest expense in the event
of increases in interest rates.
Our ability to make scheduled payments of principal of, to pay interest on,
or to refinance, our indebtedness and to satisfy our other debt obligations will
depend upon our future operating performance, which may be affected by general
economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory, business and other
factors beyond our control. In addition, there can be no assurance that future
borrowings or equity financing will be available for the payment or refinancing
of our indebtedness. If we are unable to service our indebtedness, whether in
the ordinary course of business or upon acceleration of such indebtedness, we
may be forced to pursue one or more alternative strategies, such as
restructuring or refinancing our indebtedness,
20
22
selling assets, reducing or delaying capital expenditures or seeking additional
equity capital. There can be no assurance that any of these strategies could be
effected on satisfactory terms, if at all.
OUR FAILURE TO SUCCESSFULLY INTEGRATE ANY FUTURE ACQUISITIONS COULD HAVE A
NEGATIVE EFFECT ON OUR OPERATIONS. FUTURE ACQUISITIONS COULD BE DILUTIVE TO
STOCKHOLDERS.
As part of our business strategy, we review acquisitions in the ordinary
course. In 2000, we made 21 acquisitions of businesses for an aggregate price of
approximately $220.8. Our past acquisitions and any potential future
acquisitions involve a number of risks and present financial, managerial and
operational challenges, including:
- adverse effects on our reported operating results due to the amortization
of goodwill associated with acquisitions;
- diversion of management attention from running our existing businesses;
- difficulty with integration of personnel and financial and other systems;
- increased expenses, including compensation expenses resulting from
newly-hired employees;
- assumption of unknown liabilities; and
- potential disputes with the sellers of acquired businesses, technologies,
services or products.
We may not be able to integrate successfully the technology, operations and
personnel of any acquired business. Customer dissatisfaction or performance
problems with an acquired business, technology, service or product could also
have a material adverse effect on our reputation and business. In addition, any
acquired business, technology, service or product could underperform relative to
our expectations. We could also experience financial or other setbacks if any of
the businesses that we have acquired or may acquire in the future have problems
of which we are not aware. In addition, as a result of future acquisitions, we
may further increase our leverage or, if we issue equity securities to pay for
the acquisitions, dilute our existing stockholders.
We regularly engage in discussions with respect to potential acquisitions
and joint ventures, some of which may be material. We cannot assure you that we
will be able to consummate any transactions under negotiation or identify,
acquire or make investments in any promising acquisition candidates on
acceptable terms. Competition for acquisition or investment targets could result
in increased acquisition or investment prices and a diminished pool of
businesses, technologies, services or products available for acquisition or
investment which could materially affect our growth rate.
THE LOSS OF KEY PERSONNEL AND ANY INABILITY TO ATTRACT AND RETAIN QUALIFIED
EMPLOYEES COULD MATERIALLY ADVERSELY IMPACT OUR OPERATIONS.
We are dependent on the continued services of our management team,
including our Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer. The
loss of such personnel without adequate replacement could have a material
adverse effect on us. Additionally, we need qualified managers and skilled
employees with technical and manufacturing industry experience in order to
operate our business successfully. From time to time there may be a shortage of
skilled labor which may make it more difficult and expensive for us to attract
and retain qualified employees. If we are unable to attract and retain qualified
individuals or our costs to do so increase significantly, our operations would
be materially adversely affected.
MANY OF THE INDUSTRIES IN WHICH WE OPERATE ARE CYCLICAL AND, ACCORDINGLY, OUR
BUSINESS IS SUBJECT TO CHANGES IN THE ECONOMY.
Many of the business areas in which we operate are subject to specific
industry and general economic cycles. Certain businesses are subject to industry
cycles, including the automotive industry which influences our Vehicle
Components and Service Solutions segments, the process equipment and electric
power markets which influence our Industrial Products and Services segment and
the telecommunications networks and
21
23
building construction industries which influence our Technical Products and
Systems segment. Accordingly, any downturn in these or other markets in which we
participate could materially adversely affect us. A decline in automotive sales
and production may also affect not only sales of components, tools and services
to vehicle manufacturers and their dealerships, but also sales of components,
tools and services to aftermarket customers, and could result in a decline in
our results of operations or a deterioration in our financial condition. Similar
cyclical changes could also affect aftermarket sales of products in our other
segments. If demand changes and we fail to respond accordingly, our results of
operations could be materially adversely affected in any given quarter. The
business cycles of our different operations may occur contemporaneously.
Consequently, the effect of an economic downturn may have a magnified negative
effect on our business. In 2001, our revenue and earnings growth may be
adversely affected by a softer economy. There is also substantial and continuing
pressure from the major original equipment manufacturers, particularly in the
automotive industry, to reduce costs, including the cost of products and
services purchased from outside suppliers such as us. If in the future we were
unable to generate sufficient cost savings to offset price reductions, our gross
margins could be materially adversely affected.
OUR STOCK PRICE AND INRANGE'S STOCK PRICE COULD BE VOLATILE
The market price of our common stock and Inrange's common stock has been,
and could be, subject to wide fluctuations in response to quarterly fluctuations
in operating results, acquisitions and divestitures, failure to achieve
published estimates of, or changes in earnings estimates by, securities
analysts, announcements of new products or services by competitors, sales of
common stock by existing holders, loss of key personnel and market conditions in
its industries.
IF FUTURE CASH FLOWS ARE INSUFFICIENT TO RECOVER THE CARRYING VALUE OF OUR
GOODWILL, A MATERIAL NON-CASH CHARGE TO EARNINGS COULD RESULT.
We had goodwill and intangible assets of $1,211.8 and shareholders' equity
of $608.2 at December 31, 2000. We expect to recover the carrying value of
goodwill through our future cash flows. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate, based
on projected undiscounted cash flows, whether we will be able to recover all or
a portion of the carrying value of goodwill. If future cash flows are
insufficient to recover the carrying value of our goodwill, we must write off a
portion of the unamortized balance of goodwill. There can be no assurance that
circumstances will not change in the future that will affect the useful life or
carrying value of our goodwill.
WE ARE SUBJECT TO ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS AND POTENTIAL EXPOSURE TO ENVIRONMENTAL
LIABILITIES.
We are subject to various federal, state and local environmental laws,
ordinances and regulations, including those governing the remediation of soil
and groundwater contaminated by petroleum products or hazardous substances or
wastes, and the health and safety of our employees. Under certain of these laws,
ordinances or regulations, a current or previous owner or operator of property
may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous
substances or petroleum products on, under, or in its property, without regard
to whether the owner or operator knew of, or caused, the presence of the
contaminants, and regardless of whether the practices that resulted in the
contamination were legal at the time they occurred. The presence of, or failure
to remediate properly, such substances may materially adversely affect the
ability to sell or rent such property or to borrow funds using such property as
collateral. In connection with our acquisitions, we may assume significant
environmental liabilities of which we are not aware. We are not aware of any
issues relating to environmental matters that are reasonably likely to result in
a material adverse effect on our results of operations, but it is possible that
future developments related to new or existing environmental matters or changes
in environmental laws or policies could lead to material costs for environmental
compliance or cleanup. There can be no assurance that such costs could not have
a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial position in
the future. See Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements for further
discussion.
22
24
OUR INRANGE SUBSIDIARY IS SUBJECT TO VARIOUS RISKS AND ANY MATERIAL ADVERSE
EFFECT ON INRANGE COULD MATERIALLY ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR FINANCIAL RESULTS.
We own approximately 89.5% of the total number of outstanding shares of
common stock of Inrange Technologies Corporation. As of February 16, 2001,
Inrange's market capitalization was approximately $2,050. Unlike our other
businesses, Inrange is a technology company and is subject to additional and
different risks. In addition to the risks described herein for our business as a
whole, Inrange is subject to the following risks:
- Inrange's business will suffer if it fails to develop, successfully
introduce and sell new and enhanced high quality, technologically
advanced cost-effective products that meet the changing needs of its
customers on a timely basis. Inrange's competitors may develop new and
more advanced products on a regular basis;
- Inrange relies on a sole manufacturer to produce a number of its key
products and on sole sources of supply for some key components in its
products. Any disruption in these relationships could increase product
costs and reduce Inrange's ability to provide its products or develop new
products on a timely basis; and
- The price for Inrange's products may decrease in response to changes in
product mix, competitive pricing pressures, maturing life cycles, new
product introductions and other factors. Accordingly, Inrange's
profitability may decline unless it can reduce its production and sales
costs or develop new higher margin products.
The foregoing is a summary of the risk factors applicable to Inrange. For a
more complete description of those risks, please see "Risk Factors" in Inrange's
Registration Statement on Form S-1, No. 333-38592, which section is incorporated
by reference."
DIFFICULTIES PRESENTED BY INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC, POLITICAL, LEGAL, ACCOUNTING
AND BUSINESS FACTORS COULD NEGATIVELY AFFECT OUR INTERESTS AND BUSINESS EFFORT.
Approximately 14% of our 2000 sales were international. We are seeking to
increase our sales outside the United States. Our international operations
require us to comply with the legal requirements of foreign jurisdictions and
expose us to the political consequences of operating in foreign jurisdictions.
Our foreign business operations are also subject to the following risks:
- difficulty in managing, operating and marketing our international
operations because of distance, as well as language and cultural
differences; and
- fluctuations in currency exchange rates which may make our products less
competitive in countries in which local currencies decline in value
relative to the U.S. dollar.
IF PROVISIONS IN OUR CORPORATE DOCUMENTS AND DELAWARE LAW DELAY OR PREVENT A
CHANGE IN CONTROL OF OUR COMPANY, WE MAY BE UNABLE TO CONSUMMATE A TRANSACTION
THAT OUR STOCKHOLDERS CONSIDER FAVORABLE.
Provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws may inhibit
changes in our control not approved by our Board. We also have a rights plan
designed to make it more costly and thus more difficult to gain control of us
without the consent of our Board. We are also afforded the protections of
Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which could have similar
effects.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates and
foreign currency exchange rates, and we selectively use financial instruments to
manage these risks. We do not enter into financial instruments for speculative
or trading purposes. We have interest rate protection agreements with financial
institutions to limit exposure to interest rate volatility. Our currency
exposures vary, but are primarily concentrated in the Euro, Canadian dollar,
British pound, German mark, Japanese yen, Italian lira and Singapore dollar.
Translation exposures generally are not specifically hedged. At December 31,
2000 we had a deferred pretax
23
25
gain related to the interest rate agreements of $9.9. See Note 14 of the
consolidated financial statements for further discussion.
The following table provides information, as of December 31, 2000 and
before considering our January 31, 2001 Credit Agreement amendment, about our
outstanding debt obligations and presents principal cash flows, weighted average
interest rates by expected maturity dates and fair values. The weighted-average
interest rates used for variable rate obligations are based on the rates in
effect at December 31, 2000.

We will refinance current maturities of long-term debt due in 2001 with
excess capacity on the revolver. As such, we have presented these amounts as
long term in the balance sheet. See Note 13 of the consolidated financial
statements for further discussion.
In 1998, we entered into four interest rate swap agreements that cover
$800.0 of variable rate outstanding obligations and terminate in November 2001.
These agreements provide for fixed LIBOR rates of approximately 4.8% and receive
variable floating rates of approximately 6.758% as of December 31, 2000.
There were no significant foreign exchange agreements as of December 31,
2000.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of SPX Corporation:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of SPX
CORPORATION (a Delaware corporation) AND SUBSIDIARIES as of December 31, 2000
and 1999, and the related statements of income and comprehensive income,
shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 2000. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits. We did not audit the financial
statements of EGS, the investment in which is reflected in the accompanying
financial statements using the equity method of accounting (see Note 9), as of
and for the years ended September 30, 2000 and 1998. The statements of EGS as of
and for the years ended September 30, 2000 and 1998, were audited by other
auditors whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it
relates to the amounts included for EGS for 2000 and 1998, is based solely on
the report of the other auditors.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors, the
financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of SPX Corporation and Subsidiaries as of December 31,
2000 and 1999, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

SPX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2000
(DOLLAR AND SHARE AMOUNTS IN MILLIONS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
(1) SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our significant accounting and financial policies are described below.
Basis of Presentation -- The preparation of our consolidated financial
statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in
the United States requires us to make estimates and assumptions. These
estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
Consolidation -- The consolidated financial statements include our accounts
after the elimination of intercompany transactions. Investments in
unconsolidated companies where we exercise significant influence are
accounted for using the equity method.
Cash Equivalents -- We consider our highly liquid money market investments
with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Revenue Recognition -- We recognize revenues from product sales upon
shipment to the customer, except for revenues from service contracts and
long-term maintenance arrangements, which are deferred and recognized on a
pro rata basis over the agreement period, and revenues from certain
long-term contracts, which are recognized using the
percentage-of-completion method of accounting. Under the
percentage-of-completion method, earnings accrue based on the percentage of
total costs incurred or total units of products delivered, as contracts
progress toward completion. Certain sales to distributors made with return
rights and/or price protection features are recognized upon shipment to the
customer, with appropriate recognition to reflect returns based on current
market conditions and historical actual returns and allowances as a
percentage of sales.
Sales returns and allowances are recognized on an estimated basis as a
charge against revenue in the period in which related revenues are
recognized.
In July of 2000, the Emerging Issues Task Force released Issue No. 00-10
(EITF 00-10), "Accounting for Shipping and Handling Revenues and Costs".
The EITF, effective in the fourth quarter of 2000, reached final consensus
that amounts billed, if any, for shipping and handling should be included
in revenue. In addition, costs incurred for shipping and handling should be
recorded in cost of sales or otherwise disclosed but not netted against
amounts billed. The impact of implementing EITF 00-10 is not material.
Research and Development Costs -- We expensed approximately $74.5 of
research activities relating to the development and improvement of our
products in 2000, $76.0 in 1999 and $73.4 in 1998.
Environmental Remediation Costs -- Costs incurred to investigate and
remediate environmental issues are expensed unless they extend the economic
useful life of related assets. Liabilities are recorded and expenses are
reported when it is probable that an obligation has been incurred and the
amounts can be reasonably estimated. Our environmental accruals cover
anticipated costs, including investigation, remediation, and operation and
maintenance of clean-up sites. Environmental obligations are not discounted
and are not reduced by anticipated insurance recoveries.
Property Plant and Equipment -- Property, plant and equipment ("PP&E") are
stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. We use the
straight-line method for computing depreciation expense over the useful
lives of PP&E, which do not exceed 40 years for buildings and range from
three to 15 years for machinery and equipment. Leasehold improvements are
amortized over the life of the related asset or the life of the lease,
whichever is shorter.
31
33
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 2000
(DOLLAR AND SHARE AMOUNTS IN MILLIONS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
Financial Instruments -- We do not enter into financial instruments for
speculative or trading purposes. We record the net amount to be paid or received
under interest rate protection agreements over the life of the agreement as a
component of interest expense. For further discussion see Accounting
Pronouncements later in this section and Note 14 to the consolidated financial
statements.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets -- We amortize goodwill and intangible
assets on a straight-line basis over lives ranging from 10 to 40 years. In
determining the estimated useful lives, we consider the nature, competitive
position, life cycle position, and historical and expected future operating
income of each acquired company, as well as our commitment to support these
acquired companies through continued investment in capital expenditures,
operational improvements and research and development.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets -- We continually review whether events and
circumstances subsequent to the acquisition of any long-lived assets, including
goodwill and other intangible assets, have occurred that indicate the remaining
estimated useful lives of those assets may warrant revision or that the
remaining balance of those assets may not be recoverable. If events and
circumstances indicate that the long-lived assets should be reviewed for
possible impairment, we use projections to assess whether future cash flows or
operating income (before amortization) on a non-discounted basis related to the
tested assets is likely to exceed the recorded carrying amount of those assets,
to determine if a write-down is appropriate. Should an impairment be identified,
a loss would be reported to the extent that the carrying value of the impaired
assets exceeds their fair values as determined by valuation techniques
appropriate in the circumstances that could include the use of similar
projections on a discounted basis.
Accounting Pronouncements -- In June 1998, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", which
establishes new accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments.
In June 1999, FASB issued SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative
Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities -- An Amendment of FASB Statement No.
133". These rules require all derivatives to be recognized as either assets or
liabilities in the balance sheet at fair value and changes in fair value to be
recognized in income or other comprehensive income. We will adopt these
pronouncements as described in our disclosures included in Note 14.
(2) MERGER OF SPX AND GENERAL SIGNAL
On October 6, 1998, General Signal (GSX) merged into a subsidiary of SPX.
On an aggregate basis, GSX shareholders received 0.4186 shares of SPX common
stock and $18.00 in cash for each share owned of GSX common stock. In total,
approximately 18.236 million shares of SPX common stock and $784.2 in cash were
exchanged for the outstanding common stock of GSX. Outstanding restricted stock
and stock options of GSX were either redeemed through change of control payments
or terminated.
The merger was accounted for as a reverse acquisition whereby GSX was
treated as the acquirer and SPX as the acquiree, because GSX shareholders owned
a majority of the combined company, as of the merger, and GSX was approximately
twice the size of SPX. Purchase accounting was performed on SPX based upon its
fair market value at the transaction date. The cash portion of the consideration
was accounted for as a dividend.
The fair market value of SPX was based on the average per share value of
SPX's common stock near July 17, 1998, the date that the merger agreement was
signed. Additionally, since the combined company assumed the stock options
outstanding of SPX, the fair value of these options was included in the
valuation of SPX.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the results of
GSX for all periods and the results of SPX beginning on the date of the merger.
The following unaudited 1998 pro forma selected financial

networks, fire detection and building life-safety systems, TV and radio
transmission systems and automated fare collection systems.
INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
The strategy of the Industrial Products and Services segment is to provide
"Productivity Solutions for Industry". The business emphasis is on introducing
new related services and products, as well as focusing on the replacement parts
and service elements of the business and growing through acquisitions. This
segment includes operations that design, manufacture and market power
transformers, industrial valves, mixers, laboratory and industrial ovens and
freezers, hydraulic systems, material handling systems and electric motors for

Revenues by business segment represent sales to unaffiliated customers, and
no one customer or group of customers under common control accounted for more
than 10% of our consolidated sales. Intercompany sales among segments are not
significant. Operating income by segment does not include general corporate
expenses. Identifiable assets by business segment are those used in company
operations in each segment. General corporate assets are principally cash,
pension assets, deferred tax assets and certain prepaid expenses.

(4) SPECIAL CHARGES AND OTHER CHARGES
As part of our Value Improvement Process(R), we right size and consolidate
operations to drive results. Additionally, due to our aggressive acquisition
strategy, from time to time we alter our business model to better serve customer
demand, fix or discontinue lower-margin product lines, and rationalize and
consolidate manufacturing capacity to maximize EVA improvement. As an outcome of
this process, we recorded special charges of $90.9 in 2000, $38.4 in 1999 and
$101.7 in 1998. These special charges consist of restructuring initiatives to
consolidate manufacturing and sales facilities, rationalize certain product
lines and asset impairments. The components of the charges have been computed
based on actual cash payouts, our estimate

of the realizable value of the affected tangible and intangible assets and
estimated exit costs including severance and other employee benefits based on
existing severance policies and local laws. The purpose of these restructuring
initiatives is to improve profitability, streamline operations, reduce costs and
improve efficiency. We estimate that we will achieve operating cost reductions
in 2001 and beyond through reduced employee, manufacturing and other facility
costs.
EITF No. 94-3 "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination
Benefits and Other Costs to Exit and Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred
in a Restructuring)" provides specific requirements as to the appropriate
recognition of costs associated with employee termination benefits and other
exit costs. Employee termination costs are recognized when, management having
the appropriate level of authority to involuntarily terminate employees,
approves and commits us to the plan of termination, establishes the benefits
that current employees will receive upon termination, and prior to the date of
the financial statements, the benefit arrangement is communicated to employees.
The communication of the benefit arrangement includes sufficient detail to
enable employees to determine the type and amount of benefits they will receive
if they are terminated.
Other exit costs are costs resulting from an exit plan that are not
associated with or that do not benefit activities that will be continued. We
record that cost if it is not associated with or is not incurred to generate
revenues after the exit plan's commitment date, and it meets either of the
following criteria: (1) The cost is incremental to other costs that we incur in
the conduct of our activities prior to the commitment date and will be incurred
as a direct result of the exit plan, or (2) The cost represents amounts that we
will incur under a contractual obligation that existed prior to the commitment
date and will either continue after the exit plan is completed with no economic
benefit to us or be a penalty incurred by us to cancel the contractual
obligation.
Special charges for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 are
described in more detail below and in the applicable sections which follow.

(1) Amount does not include $10.0 write-off of in process technology.
We also recorded other charges of $12.3 in 2000 and 108.2 in 1998 as described
in the applicable sections that follow.
2000 SPECIAL CHARGES
In 2000, we committed to and announced the closing of ten manufacturing
facilities or sales offices and the reorganization of various sales, engineering
and marketing teams within the Service Solutions, Industrial Products and
Services and Vehicle Components segments. Accordingly, we recorded special
charges of $90.9, which are comprised of $13.9 for cash severance payments to
approximately 708 hourly and salaried employees, $34.6 for the write-down of
assets, $14.3 for the write-down of goodwill, $10.0 write-off of in-process
technology and $18.1 for other cash costs. Other cash costs principally related
to facility holding costs, moving machinery and equipment and relocation
benefits which are expensed as incurred. The write-down of assets and goodwill
was required because the estimated fair value as measured by discounted cash
flow was less than the carrying value of the assets or business.
In the Service Solutions segment we recorded special charges of $21.4 in
2000 associated with restructuring initiatives. The facilities and operations in
the Service Solutions segment that were affected by these initiatives were two
facilities in Michigan, one facility in Ohio, one facility in Brazil, and the
consolidation of several European operations into our Hainburg, Germany
facility.
In the Industrial Products and Services segment, we recorded special
charges of $39.3 in 2000 associated with restructuring initiatives and goodwill
write-downs. These restructuring initiatives were primarily associated with the
consolidation of two facilities into one in our SPX Fluid Power business and the
closure of facilities in Pennsylvania and Virginia.
In the Vehicle Components segment, we recorded special charges of $10.8 in
2000 primarily consisting of asset writedowns associated with exiting the
bicycle business and a goodwill write-down associated with the Metal Forge
business.
In the Technical Products segment, we recorded a $10.0 write-off of
in-process technology associated with Inrange's acquisition of Varcom
Corporation. In-process technology represents the value assigned in a purchase
business combination to research and development projects of the acquired
business that had commenced but had not yet been completed at the date of
acquisition and that have no alternative future use.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 2000
(DOLLAR AND SHARE AMOUNTS IN MILLIONS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
The 2000 General Corporate special charges of $9.4 primarily represent a
write-down of an investment in certain software licenses.
1999 SPECIAL CHARGES
During 1999, we committed to and announced that we would close four
manufacturing, sales and administrative facilities primarily to consolidate
certain operations. As a result of these actions, we recorded charges $38.4,
which included $16.6 for cash severance payments to approximately 209 hourly and
392 salaried employees. Substantially all scheduled terminations and payments
were completed by December 31, 2000. We also recorded $13.4 for facility closing
costs, including cash holding costs of $3.0 and non-cash asset write-downs of
$10.4.
The four affected facilities were three Industrial Products and Services
facilities located in Ireland, Tennessee, and Minnesota, and a Vehicle
Components manufacturing facility located in Ohio.
An additional $8.4 of charges consisted of $4.9 related to the non-cash
write off of abandoned system costs and $3.5 of other cash costs incurred during
1999 related to the various restructuring initiatives, primarily for employee
stay bonuses and the relocation of employees and equipment.
1998 SPECIAL CHARGES
The recorded costs associated with the merger and closing of the GSX
corporate headquarter included $65.3 of cash costs related to change of control
agreements, option and restricted stock payments, and other employee termination
costs for 88 corporate GSX employees. Substantially all scheduled terminations
and payments were completed by December 31, 1998. Additionally, a $4.0 charge
was recorded for the GSX corporate headquarters building, which was closed in
late 1998. The charge principally represents $2.4 of cash rental costs until the
lease termination in early 2000 and $1.6 non-cash property write-downs. The
termination of corporate employees and closure of the headquarters building were
necessary to eliminate duplicative corporate personnel and facilities created by
the merger.
As part of a plan to reduce the operating costs of the combined company, we
offered an early retirement program to employees at most of the GSX operations.
Approximately 325 hourly and salaried employees accepted the offer during the
fourth quarter, at a cash cost of $14.2, which represents incremental salary
paid upon their early retirement. Additionally, during the fourth quarter of
1998, we committed to and announced that we would close 18 manufacturing, sales
and administrative facilities primarily to consolidate various GSX operations.
As a result of these actions, we recorded charges of $10.1 for cash severance
payments to approximately 800 hourly and salaried other employees. These
employees were terminated by December 31, 1999. We also recorded $8.1 for
facility closing costs, including cash holding costs of $3.5 and non-cash
property write-downs of $4.6.
The eighteen affected facilities included four manufacturing facilities in
Illinois, Alabama, Pennsylvania and New York and five sales facilities including
one in each of California, Missouri and Canada and two in the United Kingdom
within the Industrial Products and Services segment; three manufacturing
facilities in Connecticut, Massachusetts and Florida and five sales facilities
in Texas, Switzerland, France, Italy and the United Kingdom within the Technical
Products and Systems segment; and one manufacturing facility in Michigan within
the Vehicle Components segment.
OTHER CHARGES
In 2000, we recorded a charge of $12.3 against cost of goods sold for
discontinued product lines associated with restructuring and other product
changes primarily within the Service Solutions segment.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 2000
(DOLLAR AND SHARE AMOUNTS IN MILLIONS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
During the third quarter of 1998, we expensed $5.5 of previously
capitalized costs associated with the termination of a plan to spin-off Inrange
Technologies and dispose of three other units that had been announced by the
former GSX management team.
In the fourth quarter of 1998, we expensed $9.0 of in-process technology
included in the valuation of SPX (see Note 2 for further discussion of the
purchase accounting for SPX). We recorded $19.5 to write down goodwill of a
business held for sale to net realizable value. The business held for sale had
net assets of $24.4 as of December 31, 1998 and was sold in 1999. Operating
results of this business for 1998 were not material. We recorded additional
environmental accruals of $36.5 in response to new information and data obtained
as a result of the GSX merger (see Note 15 for additional information regarding
environmental accruals). We also recorded charges totaling $37.7 in that
quarter, including $5.8 in merger integration costs, $11.4 in inventory
write-downs, $6.3 in patents and licenses asset impairments and $3.1 in customer
settlements primarily related to older generation products that current
management decided to phase out in favor of recently developed upgraded
products, principally in the Technical Products and Systems segment. These
charges resulted from information obtained as a result of the General Signal
merger, operating actions initiated during the quarter, and new management's
review of the assets and liabilities of General Signal.
Of these 1998 charges, $60.4 was included in cost of products sold and the
remaining $47.8 was included in selling, general and administrative expense.
(5) GAIN ON ISSUANCE OF INRANGE STOCK
In September 2000, Inrange Technologies, one of our business units, issued
8,855,000 shares of its class B common stock for cash in an initial public
offering. We own 75,633,333 shares of Inrange class A common stock. Holders of
class B common stock generally have identical rights as class A common stock
except for voting and conversion rights. The holders of class A common stock are
entitled to five votes per share and the holders of class B common stock are
entitled to one vote per share. Holders of class B common stock have no
conversion rights. As a result of the initial public offering, we own 89.5% of
the total number of outstanding shares of Inrange common stock. We own 100% of
the outstanding class A common stock, which represents 98% of the combined
voting power of all classes of Inrange voting stock. Proceeds from the offering,
based on the offering price of $16.00 per share, net of expenses, were $128.2.
We accounted for the proceeds of the offering in accordance with Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 51. "Accounting by the Parent in Consolidation for Sale
of Stock in Subsidiary". In accordance with the selected accounting policy, we
recorded a pretax gain of $98.0 ($57.6 after-tax) in the third quarter of 2000.
(6) ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES
We continually review each of our businesses pursuant to our fix, sell or
grow strategy. These reviews could result in selected acquisitions to expand an
existing business or result in the disposition of an existing business.
Acquisitions and divestitures for the years ended 2000 and 1999 are described
below.
ACQUISITIONS 2000
In October of 2000, Waukesha Electric Systems, a business unit in the
Industrial Products and Services segment, acquired High Voltage Supply, Inc. of
Dallas, Texas for a cash purchase price of $9.4 and an additional $1.5, which
will be paid in 2001, if certain operating criteria are met. High Voltage Supply
specializes in the re-design, engineering and manufacturing of replacement parts
for power transformers, circuit breakers and associated electrical equipment. In
addition to the US market, it also provides customized component services to
utilities in Mexico and Central America. High Voltage Supply is an excellent fit
with Waukesha Electric's strategy to expand its share of the service and
replacement components market. The
39
41
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 2000
(DOLLAR AND SHARE AMOUNTS IN MILLIONS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
addition of High Voltage's component technology complements Waukesha's existing
products and enhances the global reach of the repair business.
In September of 2000, Revco Technologies, a business unit in the Industrial
Products and Services segment, acquired Jewett, Inc., of Buffalo, New York for a
cash purchase price of $10.5. Jewett is a world leader in the manufacture and
sale of high-quality medical refrigeration and pathology equipment. Recognized
for its blood bank, plasma and laboratory refrigerators, as well as its
equipment for medical examiners facilities, morgues and hospital autopsy suites,
Jewett also produces nourishment and medicine stations typically used on
hospital patient floors, and surgical scrub sinks for operating theaters. The
Jewett acquisition provides increased global presence, particularly in the blood
and plasma markets.
Also in September, DeZurik, a business unit in the Industrial Products and
Services segment, acquired the US and UK assets of Copes-Vulcan, for a cash
purchase price of $35.0. Copes-Vulcan, located in Lake City, Pennsylvania and
Winsford, England, provides DeZurik with new technology and complementary
products and services while expanding its customer base. The combined business
will better serve process industries around the world with recognized quality
process performance solutions.
Edwards Systems Technology, a business unit in the Technical Products and
Systems segment, acquired Ziton SA (Pty) Ltd in September for a cash purchase
price of $20.0. The acquisition of Ziton adds complementary technology, expands
product and service offerings, bolsters Edwards Systems Technology's global
position and provides internationally based manufacturing capabilities for
life-safety systems.
In August of 2000, Inrange Technologies, a business unit in the Technical
Products and Systems segment, acquired Computerm Corporation of Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania for a purchase price of $30.0, which included a non-interest
bearing seller note of $3.0 due in August 2001. Computerm's high-performance
channel extension products and services allow storage networking applications to
operate over wide area networks. Computerm's suite of channel extension
offerings complements Inrange's storage networking systems and expands its
virtual storage networking family of channel directors, optical multiplexers and
channel extension products and services.
In August of 2000, Inrange acquired Varcom Corporation of Fairfax,
Virginia, for a purchase price of $25.0, which included a non-interest bearing
seller note of $1.5 due in August 2002. Varcom Corporation is a provider of
network management hardware, software and services. Two of Varcom's key network
management offerings are fully integrated into Inrange's Universal TouchPoint
Architecture(TM), a management system used to monitor and assess quality of
service levels across the span of enterprise data networks.
In March of 2000, we completed the acquisition of Fenner Fluid Power, a
division of Fenner plc of Yorkshire, England for a cash purchase price of $64.0.
Our Power Team business, in the Industrial Products and Services segment, is a
market leader in the manufacture and distribution of high-force industrial tools
and hydraulic power systems and components. The addition of Fenner Fluid Power's
medium pressure hydraulic power system components provides new technology,
complementary products and additional presence in the international market.
Fenner Fluid Power has facilities in Rockford, Illinois and Romford, England.
In 2000, we made several other acquisitions with an aggregate purchase
price of $31.4. These acquisitions and the ones described above are not material
individually or in the aggregate.
Each acquisition in 2000 was accounted for using purchase accounting and,
accordingly, the purchase price was allocated on a preliminary basis to the
related assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair
values at the date of acquisition. The allocation is expected to be finalized
prior to the one-year anniversary of the acquisitions and adjustments are not
expected to be material.

ACQUISITIONS 1999
In September of 1999, we acquired North American Transformer, Inc. from
Rockwell International Corporation for a cash purchase price of $86.0. North
American Transformer's expertise in large power transformers has expanded our
existing product and service offerings and positioned the business for
additional international expansion.
This acquisition was accounted for using purchase accounting and,
accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the related assets acquired and
liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of
acquisition. The purchase accounting for this acquisition was finalized in 2000.
DIVESTITURES 1999
In December of 1999, we sold Best Power to Invensys plc, for $240.0 and
recognized a pretax gain of $23.8 and an after-tax loss of $45.2. The large tax
expense from this sale was caused by $132.2 of nondeductible goodwill from the
GSX acquisition of Best Power in 1995.
In July of 1999, we sold the assets of our Acutex division to Hilite
Industries, Inc, for $27.0 in cash. The operation manufactured solenoid valves
used in automatic transmissions for motor vehicles. The transaction was recorded
in the third quarter of 1999 and resulted in no gain or loss.
In March of 1999, we completed the sale of our Dual-Lite business, which we
received from EGS Electrical Group LLC on October 6, 1998 in a partial
rescission of the original EGS venture formation in the third quarter of 1997.
Additionally, we completed the sale of a 50% interest in a Japanese joint
venture during that quarter. We received combined proceeds of $64.2 and
recognized a pretax gain of $29.0 ($10.4 after-tax). The relatively high
effective tax rate on this gain was due to the low tax basis of the operations
divested.
These acquisitions and dispositions are not material individually or in the
aggregate.
(7) EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
BENEFIT PENSION AND POSTRETIREMENT PLANS
We have defined benefit pension plans that cover substantially all salaried
and hourly paid employees, including certain employees in foreign countries.
These plans provided pension benefits that were based on the employees' years of
credited service and levels of earnings. Effective January 1, 1999, we amended
our plan formula to provide benefits using a cash balance program. Under the new
cash balance program, participants receive benefits based on a percentage of
current salary and interest credits. Effective January 1, 2001 we amended our
plan to discontinue providing pension benefits to employees hired after December
31, 2000. We fund U.S. pension plans in amounts equal to the minimum funding
requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, plus
additional amounts that may be approved from time to time. Substantially all
plan assets are invested in listed stocks, bonds, real estate, or cash and
short-term investments. Plan assets include 1.217 shares of our common stock.
Plan assets and obligations of non-North American subsidiaries are not material
and are not included below.
We have domestic postretirement plans that provide health and life
insurance benefits for certain retirees. Some of these plans require retiree
contributions at varying rates. Not all retirees are eligible to receive these
benefits, with eligibility governed by the plan(s) in effect at a particular
location. Certain of our non-North American subsidiaries have similar plans for
retirees. Our obligations for such plans are not material and are not included
below.

The accumulated postretirement benefit obligation was determined using the
terms of our various plans, together with relevant actuarial assumptions and
health care cost trend rates. The estimated initial annual trend rates as of
December 31, 1999 were 5.8% under age 65 and 5.5% over age 65. As of December
31, 2000 the initial trend rates were increased to 7.0% under age 65 and 6.1%
over age 65 and will decrease to an ultimate rate of 5.0% in the year 2004 and
thereafter.
Assumed health care cost trend rates have a significant effect on the
amounts reported for the other postretirement benefit plans. A one percentage
point change in assumed health care cost trend rates would have the following
effects:

Effect on total of service and interest costs............... $0.6 $(0.6)
Effect on postretirement benefit obligation................. 8.4 (7.9)
RETIREMENT SAVINGS AND EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN
In addition to the above plans we also have the SPX KSOP plan ("Plan"),
which provides benefits to a majority of domestic employees. These employees can
contribute up to 17% of their earnings to the Plan,
43
45
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 2000
(DOLLAR AND SHARE AMOUNTS IN MILLIONS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
subject to certain limitations. We match a portion of the employee's
contribution with shares from the Plan's trust. During 2000, 0.156 shares, and
during 1999, 0.211 shares, were allocated to employees under the Plan.
Compensation expense is recorded based upon the market value of shares as the
shares are allocated to employees. We recorded $17.1 in 2000, $15.9 in 1999, and
$0.8 in 1998 as compensation expense. Employees may vote their allocated shares
directly, while the KSOP trustee votes the unallocated shares in the trust
proportionally on the same basis as the allocated shares voted. At December 31,
2000, there were 0.140 unallocated shares in the trust with a fair market value
of $15.1. In January 1999, the GSX Savings and Stock Ownership Plan was merged
with the KSOP plan.
We matched employee contributions, to the SPX KSOP Plan and other
supplemental plans, in cash and common stock equal to a percentage of certain
amounts contributed by employees. Our contributions under these plans amounted
to $17.1 in 2000, $15.9 in 1999, and $23.7 in 1998.

inventories are valued using the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") method. These
inventories were $143.8 at December 31, 2000 and $143.9 at December 31, 1999.
All other inventories are valued using the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method.
Progress payments, netted against work in process at year-end, were $6.1 in 2000
and $11.1 in 1999.
(9) INVESTMENT IN EGS
In September 1997, we and Emerson Electric Co. formed EGS, a venture
combining Emerson's Appleton Electric operations and our GSEG operations. We
contributed substantially all of GSEG in exchange for a 47.5% ownership in EGS.
In October 1998, our ownership in EGS was reduced to 44.5% when we received two
businesses of EGS in a partial rescission of the original formation of EGS. We
recorded the original contribution and partial rescission at historical cost.
We account for our investment in EGS under the equity method of accounting.
Effective January 1, 1998, we began accounting for our investment in EGS on a
three-month lag basis and, net of the effect of the returned businesses,
recorded a $9.6 adjustment through retained earnings to reverse the fourth
quarter 1997 equity earnings from this venture. EGS operates primarily in the
United States, Canada and Mexico. EGS's results of operations for its fiscal
year ended September 30, 2000, 1999, and 1998 were as follows:
2000 1999 1998
------ ------ ------
Net sales................................................ $474.4 $462.6 $542.1
Gross margin............................................. 189.3 188.1 214.4

(DOLLAR AND SHARE AMOUNTS IN MILLIONS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
EGS' pretax income for the quarters ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 was
not materially different than the pretax income earned the previous quarter.
Our equity in earnings for the year ended December 31, was $34.3 in 2000,
$34.7 in 1999 and $40.2 in 1998. Our recorded investment in EGS was less than
our ownership of EGS's net assets in the amount of $94.5 at December 31, 2000
and in the amount of $96.9 at December 31, 1999. This difference is being
amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated economic life of 40 years.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences
between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of

Realization of deferred tax assets associated with the net operating loss
and credit carryforwards is dependent upon generating sufficient taxable income
prior to their expiration. We believe that there is a risk that certain of these
net operating loss and credit carryforwards may expire unused and, accordingly,
have established a valuation allowance against them. Although realization is not
assured for the remaining deferred tax assets, we believe it is more likely than
not that the deferred tax assets will be realized through future taxable
earnings or alternative tax strategies. However, deferred tax assets could be
reduced in the near term if our estimates of taxable income during the
carryforward period are significantly reduced or alternative tax strategies are
no longer viable. The valuation allowance increased by $11.4 in 2000 and $5.5 in
1999.
Undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries amounted to
approximately $110.0 at December 31, 2000. Those earnings are considered to be
indefinitely reinvested and, accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal and
state income taxes or foreign withholding taxes has been made. If these earnings
were distributed, we would be subject to U.S. income taxes (subject to a
reduction for foreign tax credits) and withholding taxes payable to the various
foreign countries. Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred U.S.
income tax liability is not practicable; however, unrecognized foreign tax
credit carryovers would be available to reduce some portion of the U.S.
liability. Withholding taxes of approximately $4.7 would be payable upon
remittance of all previously unremitted earnings at December 31, 2000.

Aggregate maturities of total debt are $180.0 in 2002, $155.0 in 2003,
$456.2 in 2004, $34.3 in 2005 and $470.1 thereafter. Certain payments on
Tranches A and B and the Industrial Revenue Bonds are due in 2001, however,
these payments will be financed with excess revolver capacity and are classified
as long-term debt.
On February 10, 2000, we paid down our existing Tranche B debt of $412.5
and revolver of $50.0, and recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of
$15.0 pretax ($8.8 after-tax, or $0.28 per share), and replaced the existing
credit facility with a $1,487.5 credit facility. As of December 31, 2000, the
terms of the credit facility provided for:
(a) $525.0 of aggregate principal amount of Tranche A term loans (the
"Tranche A Term Loans"),
(b) $496.3 of aggregate principal amount of Tranche B term loans (the
"Tranche B Term Loans") and
(c) a commitment to provide a revolving credit facility of up to
$425.0 (the "Revolving Loans").
The credit facility had interest at variable rates using a calculated base
borrowing rate ("Base Rate") or a Eurodollar Rate, plus an applicable margin.
The Tranche A loan and the revolving facility have variable margins between 0.5%
and 1.5% for Base Rate loans and 1.5% and 2.5% for Eurodollar Rate borrowings.
The Tranche B loan has variable margins between 1.25% and 1.5% for Base Rate
loans and 2.25% and 2.5% for Eurodollar Rate borrowings. The revolving facility
was subject to annual commitment fees of 0.25% to 0.5% on the unused portion of
the facility. The variable margins and commitment fees are based on certain
financial measurements as defined in the credit facility.
The credit facility was secured by substantially all of our assets
(excluding EGS) and required us to maintain certain leverage and interest
coverage ratios. The credit facility also required compliance with certain
leverage and interest coverage ratios. The credit facility also required
compliance with certain operating covenants that limit, the incurrance of
additional indebtedness, the sale of assets, the distribution of dividends,
capital expenditures, mergers, acquisitions and dissolutions. We are also
required to maintain (as defined) a maximum debt to earnings before income
taxes, depreciation and amortization ration and a minimum interest coverage
ratio.
On January 31, 2001, the lenders agreed to amend and restate our Credit
Agreement ("Restated Credit Agreement") as of February 10, 2000 and provide an
additional $300.0 Tranche C term loan. The lenders also agreed to increase the
revolving credit facility by $125.0 to $550.0.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 2000
(DOLLAR AND SHARE AMOUNTS IN MILLIONS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
Under the Restated Credit Agreement, the senior bank loans bear interest,
at our option, at either the ABR plus the Applicable Rate (the "ABR Loans") or
the Eurodollar Rate plus the Applicable Rate (the "Eurodollar Loans"). The ABR
is the highest of:
(1) the prime rate of interest in effect plus 1.0%;
(2) the base CD rate in effect plus 1.0%; and
(3) the federal funds effective rate in effect plus 0.5%.
The Eurodollar Rate is the rate for eurodollar deposits for a period equal
to one, two, three or six months appearing on the Dow Jones Market plus a
statutory reserve rate as specified in the Credit Agreement.
The Applicable Rate means:
(1) in the case of the Tranche C term loans that are Eurodollar Loans,
2.50% per annum and in the case of the Tranche C term loans that are ABR
Loans, 1.50% per annum; and
(2) in the case of the other senior bank loans, the applicable per
annum rate based upon the Consolidated Leverage Ratio as set forth in the
pricing grid contained in the Restated Credit Agreement.
The revolving loans are also subject to annual commitment fees of 0.25% to
0.50% on the unused portion of the facility. The interest rates for the senior
bank loans will vary based upon the pricing grid contained in the Restated
Credit Agreement.
The Tranche A term loans, the Tranche B term loans and Tranche C term loans
are subject to mandatory prepayment upon the occurrence of certain events, such
as certain asset sales and the incurrence of additional indebtedness, and are
also subject to mandatory prepayment out of excess cash flow. We may voluntarily
repay the Tranche A terms loans, the Tranche B term loans and the Tranche C term
loans in whole or in part at any time without penalty or premium. We are not
permitted to reborrow any amounts that we repay on the Tranche A term loans, the
Tranche B term loans or the Tranche C term loans. The maturity for each loan as
follows:
DATE OF MATURITY
------------------
Revolving loans.................................. September 30, 2004
Tranche A term loans............................. September 30, 2004
Tranche B term loans............................. December 31, 2006
Tranche C term loans............................. December 31, 2007
The revolving loans may be borrowed, prepaid and reborrowed. Letters of
credit and swingline loans are also available under the revolving credit
facility. On the date of the closing of the restated credit agreement, the
entirety of the revolving loans was available and no revolving loans were
outstanding. The facility provides for the issuance of letters of credit at any
time during the revolving availability period, in an aggregate amount not
exceeding $150.0. Standby letters of credit issued under this facility reduce
the aggregate amount available under the revolving loan commitment.
The restated credit facility is secured by substantially all of our assets
(excluding EGS) and requires us to maintain certain leverage and interest
coverage ratios. Our obligations under the Restated Credit Agreement are
guaranteed by substantially all of our wholly owned domestic subsidiaries. They
are secured by a pledge of 100% of the stock of substantially all of our
domestic subsidiaries and 66% of the stock of our foreign subsidiaries and a
security interest in all of our assets and all of the assets of substantially
all of our wholly owned domestic subsidiaries. Under the most restrictive of the
financial covenants, we are required to maintain (as defined) a maximum debt to
earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ratio and a
minimum interest coverage ratio. Under the Restated Credit Agreement, the
operating covenants, which limit,

(DOLLAR AND SHARE AMOUNTS IN MILLIONS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
among other things, additional indebtedness, the sale of assets, capital
expenditures, mergers, acquisitions and dissolutions and share repurchases, are
less restrictive than those of the old credit facility.
We have effectively fixed the underlying Eurodollar rate at approximately
4.8% on $800.0 of indebtedness through interest rate protection agreements
through November of 2001.
On February 6, 2001, we issued Liquid Yield Option(TM) Notes ("LYONs") at
an original price of $579.12 per $1,000 principal amount at maturity, which
represents an aggregate initial issue price of $576.1 and an aggregate principal
amount at maturity of $995.8. The LYONs have a yield to maturity of 2.75% per
year, computed on a semi-annual bond equivalent basis, calculated from February
6, 2001. We will not pay interest on the LYONs prior to maturity unless
contingent interest becomes payable. The LYONs are subject to conversion to
common shares of only if certain contingencies are met. These contingencies
include: our average trailing stock price exceeding predetermined accretive
values each quarter; the ability of the company to maintain a defined credit
rating; or upon the occurrence of certain corporate transactions including
change in control. We may redeem all or a portion of the LYONs for cash at any
time on or after February 6, 2006 at predetermined redemption prices. Holders
may require us to purchase all or a portion of their LYONs on February 6, 2004,
February 6, 2006 or February 6, 2011 at predetermined redemption prices. We may
choose to pay the purchase price in cash, shares of common stock or a
combination of cash and common stock. The LYONs are unsecured and unsubordinated
obligations.
(14) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
FINANCIAL DERIVATIVES
We have entered into various interest rate protection agreements to reduce
the potential impact of increases in interest rates on floating rate long-term
debt. At December 31, 2000, we were party to four interest rate swap agreements
("Swaps"), covering $800.0 of outstanding debt obligations and expiring in
November of 2001. The Swaps entitle us to receive from or require us to pay to
counterparties, on a quarterly basis, the amounts, if any, by which LIBOR varies
from approximately 4.8%.
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", which establishes new accounting
and reporting standards for derivative instruments. In June 1999, the FASB
issued SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain
Hedging Activities -- A deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No.
133", and in June 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Certain
Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities -- An Amendment of FASB
Statement No 133."
These rules require that all derivative instruments be reported in the
consolidated financial statements at fair value. Changes in the fair value of
derivatives are to be recorded each period in earnings or other comprehensive
income, depending on whether the derivative is designated and effective as part
of a hedged transaction, and on the type of hedge transaction. Gains or losses
on derivative instruments reported in other comprehensive income must be
reclassified as earnings in the period in which earnings are affected by the
underlying hedged item, and the ineffective portion of all hedges must be
recognized in earnings in the current period. These new standards may result in
additional volatility in reported earnings, other comprehensive income and
accumulated other comprehensive income. These rules become effective for us on
January 1, 2001. We will record the effect to the transition to these new
accounting requirements as a change in accounting in the first quarter of 2001.
The effect of this change in accounting will increase other comprehensive income
to recognize previously deferred pretax gains of approximately $9.9 on
derivatives designated as cash flow hedges and an increase in assets of $9.9.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 2000
(DOLLAR AND SHARE AMOUNTS IN MILLIONS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying amount of cash and equivalents and receivables reported on the
consolidated balance sheets approximates their fair value because of the short
maturity of those instruments.
The fair value of our debt instruments, based on borrowing rates available
to us at each year-end for similar debt, is not materially different than its
carrying value.
As collateral for performance on contracts and as credit guarantees to
banks and insurers, we are contingently liable under standby letters of credit
in the amount of $31.0 at December 31, 2000 and $33.0 at December 31, 1999. We
pay fees to various banks for these letters of credit that were 1.95% per annum
of their face value at December 31, 2000. If we were required to obtain
replacement standby letters of credit as of December 31, 2000 for those
currently outstanding, we believe that the replacement costs would not
significantly vary from the present fee structure.
At December 31, 2000 we had a deferred pretax gain related to the interest
rate agreements of $9.9.
CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant
concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and temporary investments, trade
accounts receivable and interest rate protection agreements.
Cash and temporary investments are placed with various high-quality
financial institutions throughout the world, and exposure is limited at any one
institution. We periodically evaluate the credit standing of these financial
institutions.
Concentrations of credit risk arising from trade accounts receivable are
due to selling to a large number of customers in a particular industry. We
perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers' financial conditions and
obtain collateral or other security when appropriate. No one customer accounts
for more than 10% of our revenues.
We are exposed to credit losses in the event of nonperformance by
counterparties to our interest rate protection agreements, but have no other
off-balance-sheet credit risk of accounting loss. We anticipate, however, that
counterparties will be able to fully satisfy their obligations under the
contracts. We do not obtain collateral or other security to support financial
instruments subject to credit risk, but we do monitor the credit standing of
counterparties.

GENERAL
On April 11, 1996, we were named as a defendant in an action filed in
Federal Court for the Northern District of Illinois. Snap-on Incorporated,
Snap-on Tools Company and Snap-on Technologies, Inc. v. Ronald J. Ortiz and SPX
Corporation, No. 96C2138, U.S. District Court for the Northern District of
Illinois. The complaint contained seventeen counts, fifteen of which were
directed to us. Of the fifteen counts, seven were related to the hiring in 1992
of a former officer of Sun Electric Corporation, five contained allegations of
patent infringement and three sought a declaration of invalidity of patents held
by us. On June 28, 1996, we filed an eight count counterclaim, containing three
counts of patent infringement and five counts for declaration of invalidity of
patents held by the plaintiffs. These patents pertain to certain features
related to performance test equipment manufactured by Sun, Snap-on and us. At
that time, we also filed a motion to dismiss five of the counts of the complaint
related to the hiring of the former Sun executive. On October 23, 1996, four of
those counts of the complaint were dismissed, three with prejudice and one with
leave to amend. Since that time, a further motion to dismiss one of those counts
was filed and granted. Document discovery has proceeded and depositions have
been conducted.
In 1995 and 1997, the plaintiffs initiated reexamination of three of our
patents. The U.S. patent office has upheld the validity of our three patents by
issuing reexamination certificates on one of the patents in late 1998 and on the
other two in early 1999. Neither the complaint nor the counterclaim contain
specific allegations of damages, however, the products affected by the patents
at issue are significant for Sun, Snap-on and us. We expect that the remaining
claims against us are without merit. Based on our understanding of Sun and
Snap-on products sold during the alleged infringement period, we believe that a
reasonable value of our claims brought against Sun and Snap-on could be material
to our future results of operations, cash flows and financial position. We
intend to vigorously prosecute our claims. We believe we should ultimately
prevail on this litigation. However, since the amount of the damages cannot be
fully quantified until the legal discovery process proceeds further and no
assurances can be made as to the final timing and outcome of any litigation, no
gain has been recorded.
General Signal Power Systems ("Best Power"), a subsidiary of General Signal
Corporation, a subsidiary of SPX Corporation, filed suit against American Power
Conversion Corporation ("APC") in the United States District Court for the
Western District of Wisconsin alleging five counts of patent infringement and
three counts of false advertising. Best Power was seeking to enjoin further
manufacture, sale and distribution of certain models of APC's MATRIX, SMART-UPS
and BACKUPS products and further publication of false advertising along with an
award of damages (which may be trebled based on an allegation of willful
infringement) and attorneys fees and costs for APC's patent infringements and
false advertising. We sold our Best Power business to Invensys, plc., but
retained ownership of the Best Power patents and control of the litigation. The
litigation was resolved in the second quarter with a settlement in our favor.
APC paid $48.0 in settlement of all claims. We recorded a pre tax gain of $23.2,
net of legal costs and other related expenses ($13.7 after-tax).
Certain claims, including environmental matters, suits and complaints
arising in the ordinary course of business, have been filed or are pending
against us and certain of our subsidiaries. In our opinion, these matters are
without merit or are of a kind, or involve amounts, as would not have a
significant effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash
flows if disposed of unfavorably.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
Our operations and properties are subject to federal, state, local and
foreign regulatory requirements relating to environmental protection. It is our
policy to comply fully with all applicable requirements. As part of our effort
to comply, we have a comprehensive environmental compliance program that
includes environmental audits conducted by internal and external independent
professionals and regular communica-
52
54
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

(DOLLAR AND SHARE AMOUNTS IN MILLIONS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
tions with our operating units regarding environmental compliance requirements
and anticipated regulations. Based on current information, we believe that our
operations are in substantial compliance with applicable environmental laws and
regulations, and we are not aware of any violation that could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial conditions, results of operations or
cash flows. We are engaged in site investigation and/or remediation at 33 sites
that we own or control and estimate, based upon currently available information,
that our aggregate probable remaining liability at these sites is approximately
$48.0. There can be no assurance, however, that currently unknown matters, new
laws and regulations, or stricter interpretations of existing laws and
regulations will not materially affect our business or operations in the future.
In the case of contamination at offsite, non-owned facilities, we have been
notified that we are potentially responsible and have received other notices of
potential liability pursuant to various environmental laws at 23 sites of which
only nine have been active in the past few years. These laws may impose
liability on certain persons that are considered jointly and severally liable
for the costs of investigation and remediation of hazardous substances present
at these sites, regardless of fault or legality of the original disposal. The
persons include the present or former owner or operator of the site and
companies that generated, disposed of or arranged for the disposal of hazardous
substances at the site. We are considered a "deminimis" potentially responsible
party at most of the sites and we estimate the aggregate probable remaining
liability at these sites is immaterial.
The potential costs related to these environmental matters and the possible
impact on future operations are uncertain due in part to the complexity of
government laws and regulations and their interpretations, the varying costs and
effectiveness of clean-up technologies, the uncertain level of insurance or
other types of recovery, and the questionable level of our responsibility. We
have estimated that costs of investigation and remediation for these matters
will be approximately $49.2 overall and have included this amount in accrued
liabilities in the accompanying balance sheet. It is at least reasonably
possible, however, that a change in this estimate will occur. In our opinion,
after considering reserves established for such purposes, remedial actions for
compliance with the present laws and regulations governing the protection of the
environment are not expected to have a material adverse impact on our business,
financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
EXECUTIVE SEVERANCE AGREEMENTS
Our Board of Directors has adopted executive severance agreements, which
create certain liabilities in the event of the termination of the covered
executives following a change of control. The aggregate commitment under these
executive severance agreements should all six covered employees be terminated is
approximately $39.9.

(1) On February 10, 2000, our Board of Directors announced an increase in the
share repurchase program for up to $250.0. In 2000, we repurchased shares of
stock in the open market for a total consideration of $138.8.
SPX STOCK COMPENSATION PLANS
At the time of the General Signal merger, we adopted SPX's pre-existing
stock compensation plans.
Under the 1992 Stock Compensation Plan, as amended in October 1998 and
April 2000, up to 5.0 shares of our common stock may be granted to key employees
and 2.1 of these shares were available for grant at December 31, 2000.
Stock options may be granted to key employees in the form of incentive
stock options or nonqualified stock options, vest 50% after two years and 100%
after three years, and expire no later than 10 years from the date of grant. The
option price per share may be no less than the fair market value of our common
stock on the date of grant. Upon exercise, the employee has the option to
surrender shares at current value in payment of the exercise price and/or for
withholding tax obligations, and, subject to certain restrictions, may receive a
reload option having an exercise price equal to the current market value for the
number of shares so surrendered. The reload option expires at the same time that
the exercised option would have expired.
No SARs or performance units have been granted under this plan.
Restricted stock may be granted to key individuals to recognize or foster
extraordinary performance, promotion, recruitment or retention. At the time of
the grant, restrictions are placed on ownership of the shares for a stated
period of time during which a participant will not be able to dispose of the
restricted shares. Upon lapse of the restriction period, complete ownership is
vested in the participant and the shares become freely transferable. At December
31, 2000, no restricted shares were outstanding.
SPECIAL OPTION AWARDS
The following 2000 and 1999 Special Option Awards are not included in the
1992 Stock Compensation Plan. At December 31, 2000 5.6 of the outstanding
options were granted outside of the 1992 Stock Compensation Plan.
During 2000, 2.5 stock options were awarded to key members of our senior
management team. The options vest after five years and expire no later than ten
years from the date of grant. These options have

exercise prices as follows: 0.625 options have an exercise price of $210.0,
0.625 options have an exercise price of $240.0, 0.625 options have an exercise
price of $270.0, and 0.625 options have an exercise price of $300.0.
During 1999, 1.6 stock options were awarded to key members of our senior
management team. The options vest after five years and expire no later than ten
years from the date of grant. These options have exercise prices as follows:
0.050 options have an exercise price of $75.00, 0.050 options have an exercise
price of $90.00, 0.375 options have an exercise price of $120.00, 0.375 options
have an exercise price of $145.00, 0.375 options have an exercise price of

PRO FORMA RESULTS -- "ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION" (SFAS NO. 123)
We have adopted the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" (SFAS
123). Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for stock options
issued. Had compensation cost for our stock options been determined based on the
fair value at the grant date for awards in 2000, 1999 and 1998 consistent with
the accounting provisions
55
57
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 2000
(DOLLAR AND SHARE AMOUNTS IN MILLIONS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
of SFAS No. 123, our net income (loss) and income (loss) per share would have
resulted in the pro forma amounts indicated below:
2000 1999 1998
------ ------ ------
Net income (loss)--as reported............................ $189.5 $101.5 $(41.7)
Net income (loss)--pro forma.............................. 168.9 96.4 (39.0)
Basic:
Income (loss) per share--as reported.................... $ 6.15 $ 3.30 $(1.94)
Income (loss) per share--pro forma...................... 5.48 3.14 (1.81)
Diluted:
Income (loss) per share--as reported.................... $ 5.97 $ 3.27 $(1.94)
Income (loss) per share--pro forma...................... 5.32 3.11 (1.81)
The application of SFAS No. 123 resulted in a lower pro-forma net loss in
1998, because some of the expense recorded when the GSX options were repurchased
upon the General Signal merger had, on a pro-forma basis, been recognized prior
to 1998.
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:
DIVIDEND EXPECTED RISK FREE EXPECTED EXPECTED
YEAR OF GRANT YIELD VOLATILITY INTEREST RATE VESTING % OPTION LIFE
------------- -------- ---------- ------------- --------- -----------
2000....................................... 0.00% 0.415 4.99% 75% 6 Years
1999....................................... 0.00% 0.335 5.67% 75% 6 Years
1998....................................... 0.00% 0.322 5.60% 75% 6 Years
The weighted-average fair value of options granted was $59.52 during 2000,
$23.49 during 1999, and $17.46 during 1998. The fair value of options granted in
1998 is subsequent to the General Signal merger.
SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN
Subsequent to the General Signal merger, and pursuant to a pre-existing
Shareholder Rights Agreement, each share of common stock carries one preferred
stock purchase right. Each right entitles the holder, upon the occurrence of
certain events, to purchase one one-thousandth of a share of a new series of
junior participating preferred stock for $200 per share. Furthermore, if we are
involved in a merger or other business combination at any time after the rights
become exercisable, the rights will entitle the holder to buy the number of
shares of common stock of the acquiring company having a market value of twice
the then current exercise price of each right. Alternatively, if a 20% or more
shareholder acquires us by means of a reverse merger in which the company and
its stock survive, or engages in self-dealing transactions with us, or if any
person acquires 20% or more of our common stock, then each right not owned by a
20% or more shareholder will become exercisable for the number of shares of our
common stock having a market value of twice the then current exercise price of
each right. The rights, which do not have voting rights, expire on June 25,
2006, and we may redeem them at a price of $.01 per right at any time prior to
any person or affiliated group of persons acquiring 20% or more of our common
stock. The prior General Signal Shareholder Rights Plan was discontinued upon
the General Signal merger.
