Industrial Automation intersegment sales for the first quarters ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 were $116 million and $121 million, respectively. The increase in corporate and other primarily reflects inventory costs of $21 million (purchase accounting) and a $30 million pretax ($5 million after-tax) charitable contribution of an equity investment, accelerating funding of all fiscal year 2014 contributions into the first quarter.
