<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Trailing three-month orders declined, reflecting continued weak
global economic trends and strength in the U.S. dollar. Underlying orders, which exclude unfavorable currency translation of 4
percentage points, declined slightly, as choppy demand patterns underscored the volatile and uncertain economic climate that continues
to trend slightly downward. Strength in Process Management continued and trends in Climate Technologies and Industrial Automation
remained unchanged, while Network Power and Commercial and Residential Solutions slowed.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Economic growth around the world continues to decelerate. As
a consequence, underlying sales growth in the fourth quarter will be slower than in the third quarter, reflecting lower growth
than previously expected. This means full year underlying sales growth will be approximately 2.5 percent. Inconsistent and sluggish
demand is expected to continue until a sustainable global economic catalyst improves visibility and stimulates investment &ndash;
which needs to be led by the U.S.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Process Management order growth remained strong in North America,
Asia, and Latin America, with robust oil and gas, chemical, and power end market project activity. Order trends in Europe softened
as weak economic conditions subdued investment. Currency translation deducted 5 percentage points.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Industrial Automation order trends remained unchanged, as weakness
in Europe continued to put pressure on orders. The power generating alternators and industrial motors business and the electrical
drives business were weakest, although both reflected improvement. Currency translation deducted 6 percentage points.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Weakness continued in global telecommunications and information
technology end markets, resulting in a decline in Network Power orders. Market conditions in Asia were the most challenging, as
the economic environments in Australia, China, and India deteriorated. European economic weakness persisted, as orders decreased
in the region. Slight sequential order trend improvement occurred in the embedded computing and power business, but remained negative.
Currency translation deducted 2 percentage points.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Climate Technologies orders remained stable, with mixed trends
among geographies. Underlying orders, which exclude unfavorable currency translation of 3 percentage points, grew slightly for
the second consecutive month. The U.S. air conditioning market slowed, while Asia and Europe both improved but remained negative.
The temperature controls and sensor businesses grew modestly, while the refrigeration business weakened.</P>

demand in U.S. non-residential construction softened. Underlying orders, which exclude unfavorable currency translation of 2 percentage
points, increased slightly, as growth in the food waste disposers and commercial storage businesses was partially offset by weakness
in the professional tools business and wet/dry vacuums business, as big box retailers did not offer annual fall promotions.</P>

August 2012 Orders Comments:
Trailing three-month orders declined, reflecting continued weak
global economic trends and strength in the U.S. dollar. Underlying orders, which exclude unfavorable currency translation of 4
percentage points, declined slightly, as choppy demand patterns underscored the volatile and uncertain economic climate that continues
to trend slightly downward. Strength in Process Management continued and trends in Climate Technologies and Industrial Automation
remained unchanged, while Network Power and Commercial and Residential Solutions slowed.
Economic growth around the world continues to decelerate. As
a consequence, underlying sales growth in the fourth quarter will be slower than in the third quarter, reflecting lower growth
than previously expected. This means full year underlying sales growth will be approximately 2.5 percent. Inconsistent and sluggish
demand is expected to continue until a sustainable global economic catalyst improves visibility and stimulates investment –
which needs to be led by the U.S.
Process Management order growth remained strong in North America,
Asia, and Latin America, with robust oil and gas, chemical, and power end market project activity. Order trends in Europe softened
as weak economic conditions subdued investment. Currency translation deducted 5 percentage points.
Industrial Automation order trends remained unchanged, as weakness
in Europe continued to put pressure on orders. The power generating alternators and industrial motors business and the electrical
drives business were weakest, although both reflected improvement. Currency translation deducted 6 percentage points.
Weakness continued in global telecommunications and information
technology end markets, resulting in a decline in Network Power orders. Market conditions in Asia were the most challenging, as
the economic environments in Australia, China, and India deteriorated. European economic weakness persisted, as orders decreased
in the region. Slight sequential order trend improvement occurred in the embedded computing and power business, but remained negative.
Currency translation deducted 2 percentage points.
Climate Technologies orders remained stable, with mixed trends
among geographies. Underlying orders, which exclude unfavorable currency translation of 3 percentage points, grew slightly for
the second consecutive month. The U.S. air conditioning market slowed, while Asia and Europe both improved but remained negative.
The temperature controls and sensor businesses grew modestly, while the refrigeration business weakened.
Orders slowed in Commercial & Residential Solutions, as
demand in U.S. non-residential construction softened. Underlying orders, which exclude unfavorable currency translation of 2 percentage
points, increased slightly, as growth in the food waste disposers and commercial storage businesses was partially offset by weakness
in the professional tools business and wet/dry vacuums business, as big box retailers did not offer annual fall promotions.
Upcoming Investor Events
