Basis of Presentation:
     The Corporation operates in three reportable business segments: Power Tools
and  Accessories,  Hardware and Home  Improvement,  and  Fastening  and Assembly
Systems.  The Power Tools and Accessories  segment has worldwide  responsibility
for the  manufacture  and sale of  consumer  and  professional  power  tools and
accessories,  electric  cleaning and lighting  products,  and electric  lawn and
garden tools, as well as for product service.  In addition,  the Power Tools and
Accessories  segment has  responsibility  for the sale of  security  hardware to
customers in Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean,  and South America; for the
sale of plumbing products to customers outside the United States and Canada; and
for sales of the  retained  portion  of the  household  products  business.  The
Hardware  and Home  Improvement  segment has  worldwide  responsibility  for the
manufacture  and sale of  security  hardware  (except  for the sale of  security
hardware in Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean,  and South America). It also
has  responsibility for the manufacture of plumbing products and for the sale of
plumbing  products to customers in the United  States and Canada.  The Fastening
and Assembly  Systems segment has worldwide  responsibility  for the manufacture
and sale of fastening and assembly systems.
     The  Corporation  also operated  several  businesses that do not constitute
reportable business segments. These businesses included the manufacture and sale
of glass container-forming and inspection equipment, as well as recreational and
household  products.  As more fully  described  in Note 19 of the  Corporation's
Annual  Report on Form 10-K for the year ended  December 31, 2000,  during 1998,
the   Corporation   completed  the  sale  or   recapitalization   of  its  glass
container-forming   and  inspection   equipment  business,   Emhart  Glass;  its
recreational  products business,  True Temper Sports; and its household products
businesses  (excluding  certain  assets  associated  with  cleaning and lighting
products) in North  America,  Central  America,  the  Caribbean,  South  America
(excluding Brazil), and Australia. Because True Temper Sports, Emhart Glass, and
the  divested  household  products  businesses  are not treated as  discontinued
operations under generally accepted accounting principles, they remain a part of
the Corporation's reported results from continuing  operations,  and the results
of operations and financial  positions of these businesses have been included in
the consolidated  financial  statements through the dates of consummation of the
respective  transactions.  Amounts  relating to these businesses are included in
the preceding  segment tables under the caption "All Others." The results of the
household products  businesses included under the caption "All Others" are based
upon certain assumptions and allocations. The household products businesses sold
during 1998 were  jointly  operated  with the  cleaning  and  lighting  products
businesses  retained by the Corporation.  Further,  the  Corporation's  divested
household products businesses in Central America,  the Caribbean,  South America
(excluding Brazil), and Australia were operated jointly with the power tools and
accessories  businesses.  Accordingly,  the  results of the  household  products
businesses  included in the segment  tables  under the caption "All Others" were
determined  using  certain  assumptions  and  allocations  that the  Corporation
believes are reasonable under the circumstances.
     The  Corporation  assesses  the  performance  of  its  reportable  business
segments based upon a number of factors,  including  segment profit. In general,
segments follow the same accounting policies as those described in Note 1 of the
Corporation's  Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended  December 31, 2000,
except  with  respect  to  foreign  currency  translation  and except as further
indicated below. The financial statements of a segment's operating units located
outside  of  the  United  States,   except  those  units   operating  in  highly
inflationary  economies,  are generally measured using the local currency as the
functional currency.  For these units located outside the United States, segment
assets and elements of segment  profit are  translated  using  budgeted rates of
exchange.  Budgeted  rates  of  exchange  are  established  annually  and,  once
established,  all prior  period  segment data is restated to reflect the current
year's budgeted rates of exchange. The amounts included in the preceding segment
tables under the captions  "Reportable  Business  Segments,"  "All  Others," and
"Corporate,  Adjustments,  &  Eliminations"  are reflected at the  Corporation's
budgeted  exchange rates for 2001. The amounts included in the preceding segment
tables  under the  caption  "Currency  Translation  Adjustments"  represent  the
difference between consolidated amounts determined using those budgeted rates of
exchange and those determined based upon the rates of exchange  applicable under
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
     Segment profit excludes interest income and expense,  non-operating  income
and expense, goodwill amortization, adjustments to eliminate intercompany profit
in  inventory,  and income tax expense.  In addition,  segment  profit  excludes
restructuring  and  exit  costs,  gain on  sale of  businesses  and,  for  1998,
write-off  of  goodwill.  For  certain  operations  located in  Brazil,  Mexico,
Venezuela,  and Turkey,  segment  profit is reduced by net interest  expense and
non-operating  expenses.  In determining  segment profit,  expenses  relating to
pension  and other  postretirement  benefits  are based  solely  upon  estimated
service costs. Corporate expenses are allocated to each reportable segment based
upon budgeted  amounts.  No Corporate  expenses have been  allocated to divested
businesses. While sales and transfers between segments are accounted for at cost
plus a reasonable  profit,  the effects of intersegment  sales are excluded from
the computation of segment profit.  Intercompany profit in inventory is excluded
from  segment  assets and is  recognized  as a reduction of cost of sales by the
selling segment when the related inventory is sold to an unaffiliated  customer.
Because the Corporation compensates the management of its various businesses on,
among other factors, segment profit, the Corporation may elect to record certain
segment-related   expense  items  of  an  unusual  or  non-recurring  nature  in
consolidation  rather than  reflect such items in segment  profit.  In addition,
certain   segment-related  items  of  income  or  expense  may  be  recorded  in
consolidation  in one period and transferred to the various  segments in a later
period.
