Emerson GAAP Underlying Orders – 3 Month Summary

(Percent change. Trailing 3-month average versus prior year.)

	Sept ’05	Oct ’05	Nov ’05
Process Management	+10 to +15	>20+	+10 to +15

Appliance and Tools	0 to +5	+5 to +10	+5 to +10
Total Emerson	+15	+15 to +20	+10 to +15

November 2005 Order Comments:

Orders remained strong as end market dynamics continued to be favorable across the business segments. Unfavorable currency exchange rates reduced orders by approximately 3 percentage points.

Process Management order levels remained strong as the key end markets served continued to spend capital and generate order growth for this segment.

Orders for Industrial Automation were led by continued capital spending and industrial demand in North America.

Network Power orders continued at high levels due primarily to strong growth from both the power systems business and the embedded power business.

Orders for Climate Technologies remained very strong with the compressor business leading the growth. Comparisons to prior year have become easier and demand in the residential air-conditioning business is being driven by 10 SEER orders ahead of the transition to 13 SEER.

Appliance and Tools segment orders remained solid with growth led by the tools and storage businesses and modest growth in the motors business as well.
