REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Pension Administration Committee and the
Pension Investment Committee — Eaton Corporation
We have audited the accompanying Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits of the EATON SAVINGS PLAN as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 and the related Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis of designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
As discussed in Note 1, during 2010, the Plan retrospectively adopted the changes related to classifying and measuring loans to participants in accordance with ASC 962 Plan Accounting - Defined Contribution Pension Plans.”
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of Eaton Savings Plan as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2010, is presented for the purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements but is supplemental information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The supplemental information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Eaton Savings Plan
1   Description of Plan
 
    The following description of The Eaton Savings Plan (“the Plan”) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan document and summary plan description, which is available from the Company’s Human Resources Department upon request, for a complete description of the Plan’s provisions.
 
    General:
 
    Effective July 1, 1974, Eaton Corporation (Eaton, the Company, or the Plan Sponsor) established the Plan. The Plan was established to encourage eligible employees to make systematic savings through payroll deductions, to provide additional security at retirement and to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company. Effective July 5, 1989 the portion of the Plan attributable to Company contributions was designed to be invested primarily in Eaton Common Shares and constitute an employee stock ownership plan within the meaning of Code Section 4975(e)(7). Effective January 1, 2002, the Plan was amended and restated to rename the Plan the Eaton Savings Plan. The Plan was restated January 1, 2010 to incorporate previous amendments to the plan into the Plan document.
 
    Eligibility:
 
    An Eaton employee who is in the regular service of a class of an employee in a division or group to which Eaton Corporation has extended eligibility for membership in the Plan (other than a temporary employee who is hired for a specific, limited period of time or for the performance of a specific, limited assignment or employees covered by a collective bargaining agreement that does not specify coverage under the Plan) will be eligible to participate on any date established in accordance with administrative procedure which follows the date an employee first incurs an hour of service.
 
    Effective April 1, 2011, newly hired employees will be automatically enrolled in the Plan.
 
    Contributions:
 
    Employee Contributions — Employees may make a combination of before-tax and after-tax contributions ranging from 1% to 30% of their compensation. Catch-up contributions are permitted in the Plan, allowing participants age 50 and older to defer an additional amount of their compensation as prescribed by the Internal Revenue Code.
 
    Effective April 1, 2011, the contribution limit was raised to 50% of compensation.
 
    Employer Contributions — Participants of the Plan receive a Company matching contribution of 100% of the first 3% of their compensation, plus 50% of the next 2% of compensation. The Company matching contribution was suspended effective with the first full pay period beginning after April 1, 2009. The Company matching contribution was reinstated effective July 1, 2010.
 
    Contributions are subject to limitations on annual additions and other limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code as defined in the Plan agreement.
 
    Rollover contributions from other Plans are also accepted, providing certain specified conditions are met.

Eaton Savings Plan
1   Description of Plan, Continued
 
    Participants’ Accounts:
 
    Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contributions, Company matching contributions, and an allocation of the Plan’s earnings and is charged with an allocation of administrative expenses. Allocations are based on participant account balances. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s account.
 
    Vesting:
 
    All participants are 100% vested, subject to certain provisions as defined by the Plan, in elective deferrals, company contributions and rollover contributions made to the Plan, and actual earnings thereon.
 
    Notes Receivable from Participants:
 
    Participants may borrow from their fund accounts up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their account balance (excluding any contributions made under a Savings Plan Individual Retirement Account or Company contributions made in the previous 24 months), reduced by their highest outstanding loan balance during the preceding 12 months. Loan terms range from 1-5 years except for loans used for the purchase of a primary residence. The loans are secured by the balance in the participant’s account and bear interest at a rate based on the prime interest rate as determined by the Trustee. Principal and interest are paid through payroll deduction for active employees. Terminated employees are permitted to make loan payments directly to Fidelity.
 
    In September 2010, the FASB issued an amendment, “Plan Accounting-Defined Contribution Pension Plans (Topic 962): Reporting Loans to Participants by Defined Contribution Pension Plans (ASU 2010-25)”, which provides guidance on how loans to participants should be classified and measured by defined contribution pension plans. The amendment requires that participant loans be classified as notes receivable from participants, which are segregated from plan investments and measured at their unpaid principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest. This amendment requires retrospective application to all periods presented. This amendment was adopted for the year ended December 31, 2010, and retrospectively applied to December 31, 2009. Prior year amounts and disclosures have been revised to reflect the retrospective application of adopting this new amendment. There was no impact to the net assets as of December 31, 2010 or 2009, as a result of the adoption.
 
    Hardship Withdrawals:
 
    Hardship withdrawals are permitted in accordance with Internal Revenue Service guidelines.
 
    Payment of Benefits:
 
    Upon termination of service, retirement, death or total and permanent disability, a participant is eligible to receive a lump sum amount equal to the value of his or her account. A participant may choose to take partial withdrawals.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Eaton Savings Plan
2   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
    Investment Options:
 
    Contributions may be invested in any of the fund options available under the Plan.
 
    Basis of Accounting:
 
    The financial statements of the Eaton Savings Plan are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.
 
    Investment Valuation and Income Recognition:
 
    The Plan’s trustee is Fidelity Management Trust Company, and the Plan’s investments, excluding notes receivable from participants, were invested in the Eaton Employee Savings Trust (Master Trust), which was established for the investment of assets of the Plan and the Eaton Personal Investment Plan. The fair value of the Plan’s interest in the individual funds of the Master Trust is based on the value of the Plan’s interest in the fund as of January 1, 2002, plus actual contributions and allocated investment income (loss) less actual distributions.
 
    Securities traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales price on the last business day of the Plan year. Investments traded in the over-the-counter market and listed securities for which no sale was reported on that date are valued at the average of the last reported bid and asked prices. Common/collective trust funds and pooled separate accounts are valued at the redemption value of the units held at year-end. Participant loans are valued at cost, which approximates fair value. The Eaton Stable Value Fund invests primarily in investment contracts issued by insurance companies, banks or other financial institutions, including investment contracts backed by high-quality fixed income securities.
 
    Under the revised accounting standards, investment contracts held by a defined-contribution plan are required to be reported at fair value. However, contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits of a defined-contribution plan attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the Plan. The Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits presents the fair value of the investment contracts as well as the adjustment of the fully benefit-responsive investment contracts from fair value to contract value. The Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits is prepared on a contract value basis.
 
    Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis.
 
    Use of Estimates:
 
    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Eaton Savings Plan
2   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued
 
    Administrative Fees:
 
    All administrative costs, management fees and expenses of the Plan are paid by the trustee from the Master Trust unless such costs, fees and expenses are paid by the Company. The Company elected to pay certain administrative costs during 2010 and 2009 on behalf of the Plan. Certain transaction costs are paid by the employee.
 
    Plan Termination:
 
    The Company may amend, modify, suspend, or terminate the Plan. No amendment, modification, suspension, or termination of the Plan shall have the effect of providing that any amounts then held under the Plan may be used or diverted to any purpose other than for the exclusive benefit of members or their beneficiaries.
 
    Risks and Uncertainties:
 
    The Master Trust’s investments include investments, as listed in Footnote 4, with varying degrees of risk, such as interest rate, credit and overall market volatility risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and such changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the statement of net assets available for Plan benefits.
 
    Reclassifications:
 
    Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current years presentation.
 
    Subsequent Events:
 
    Management evaluates events occurring subsequent to the date of the financial statements in determining the accounting for and disclosure of transactions and events that affect the financial statements.
 
3   Tax Status
 
    On May 16, 2003, the Internal Revenue Service stated that the Plan, as then designed, was in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. The Plan has been amended; however, the Plan Administrator and the Plan’s tax counsel believe that the Plan is currently designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, they believe that the Plan was qualified and the related trust was tax-exempt as of the financial statement date.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Eaton Savings Plan
4   Investments, Continued
    At December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, the Eaton Fixed Income Fund was comprised of U.S. government securities (69% and 69%), corporate debt instruments (25% and 24%), interest-bearing and non interest-bearing cash (5% and 5%), and pooled separate accounts (1% and 2%).
 
    The Master Trust funds are invested in various investments through the Fidelity Management Trust Company. Investments which constitute more than 5% of the Master Trust’s net assets are:
                 
    2010     2009  
Eaton Stable Value Fund
    N/A     $ 130,724,187  
Fidelity Contrafund
  $ 157,309,901     $ 137,679,930

Eaton Common Shares Fund (A unitized fund consisting of Eaton Shares and cash)
  $ 791,626,366     $ 580,209,860  
5   Party-in-Interest Transactions
 
    Party-in-interest transactions included the investments in the common stock of Eaton and the investment funds of the trustee and the payments of administrative expenses by the Company. Such transactions are exempt from being prohibited transactions.
 
    During 2010 and 2009, the Master Trust received $18,201,828 and $18,218,408, respectively, in common stock dividends from the Company.
 
6   Benefit-Responsive Investment Fund
 
    The Plan holds the Eaton Stable Value Fund, a fund managed by Vanguard, that invests in benefit-responsive investment contracts. The fund is credited with earnings on the underlying investments and charged for participant withdrawals and administrative expenses. The traditional guaranteed investment contract issuers are contractually obligated to repay the principal and a specified interest rate that is guaranteed to the Plan and the synthetic contract issuers are contractually obligated to guarantee the payment of a specific interest rate to the Plan.
 
    As described in Note 2, because the guaranteed investment contracts are fully benefit-responsive, contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits attributable to the guaranteed investment contract. Contract value, as reported to the Plan by Vanguard, represents contributions made under the contracts, plus earnings, less participant withdrawals and administrative expenses. Participants may ordinarily direct the withdrawal or transfer of all or a portion of their investment at contract value.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Eaton Savings Plan
6   Benefit-Responsive Investment Fund, Continued
 
    The average market yield of the Fund for 2010 and 2009 was 3.13% and 3.39%, respectively. This yield is calculated based on actual investment income from the underlying investments for the last month of the year, annualized and divided by the fair value of the investment portfolio on the report date. The average yield of the Fund with an adjustment to reflect the actual interest rate credited to participants in the Fund was 2.97% and 3.19%, respectively.
 
    There are no reserves against contract value for credit risk of the contract issuer or otherwise. The crediting interest rate is based on a formula agreed upon with the issuer, but it may not be less than zero percent. Such interest rates are reviewed quarterly for resetting.
 
    The fair value is based on various valuation approaches dependent on the underlying investments of the contract.
 
    Certain events limit the ability of the Plan to transact at contract value with the issuers. The Plan Administrator does not believe that the occurrence of any such value event, which would limit the Plan’s ability to transact at contract value with participants is probable.
 
    The issuer may terminate the contract for cause at any time.
 
7   Transfers In
 
    On October 12, 2010, the EMC Engineers, Inc. 401(k) Plan was merged into the Eaton Savings Plan. As a result, 401(k) balances totaling $5,480,249 and a total of $92,152 in notes receivable from participants were transferred into the Eaton Savings Plan as a result of the plan merger. The balance of the transfers relate to the other Eaton plans.
 
8   Fair Value Measurements
 
    In accordance with ASC 820, the Plan has categorized the financial instruments, based on the degree of subjectivity inherent in the valuation technique, into a fair value hierarchy of three levels, as follows:
 
  Level 1 — inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
 
  Level 2 — inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
 
  Level 3 — inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
 
    Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value. There have been no changes in the methodologies used at December 31, 2010 and 2009.

- 10 -


 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Eaton Savings Plan
8   Fair Value Measurements, Continued
 
    Registered investment companies (mutual funds), and separate accounts: Valued at the net asset value (NAV) of shares held by the Plan at year end. Separate accounts may include U.S. government securities and corporate debt securities.
 
    Common collective trusts: Valued at the net unit value of units held by the trust at year end. The unit value is determined by dividing the Total Value of fund Assets by the Total Number of Units of the Fund owned.
 
    Guaranteed investment contract: Valued at fair value by discounting the related cash flows based on current yields of similar instruments with comparable durations considering the credit-worthiness of the issuer.
 
    The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Plan believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

9   Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
    In January 2010, the FASB issued an accounting standard update titled “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820), Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements”. This new guidance requires additional disclosures to be provided, including: 1) transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 and the reasons for the transfers, 2) additional breakout of asset and liability categories and 3) purchases, sales, issuances and settlements to be reported separately in the Level 3 roll forward. This guidance was effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the item related to the Level 3 roll forward which is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2010 and interim periods within those years. This guidance was effective for the Company for the year ended December 31, 2010. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Plan.
