Industrial Automation intersegment sales for the third quarter ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 were $206 million and $198 million, respectively, and year-to-date, $479 million and $500 million. Corporate and other for the 2012 third quarter includes lower incentive stock compensation expense of $23 million. The year-to-date decrease in Corporate and other primarily reflects lower incentive stock compensation expense of $55 million, partially offset by a $17 million charge related to the elimination of post-65 supplemental retiree medical benefits for approximately 8,000 active employees and the absence of the $15 million India joint venture gain. In 2011, the India joint venture acquisition gain was offset by $15 million of acquisition-related costs.
