Notes to condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited)

Basis of Presentation and Responsibility for Interim Financial Statements

We prepared the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements following the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States can be condensed or omitted. We made certain reclassifications to the 2001 condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to the 2002 presentation.

We are responsible for the unaudited financial statements included in this document. The financial statements include all normal recurring adjustments that are considered necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position and operating results. As these are condensed financial statements, one should also read our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto which are included in our 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Revenues, expenses, cash flows, assets and liabilities can and do vary during each quarter of the year. Therefore, the results and trends in these interim financial statements may not be the same as those for the full year.

New Accounting Standards

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 (SFAS 142), Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. This statement requires that goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have an indefinite life not be amortized. Instead of amortizing goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have an indefinite life, the statement requires a test for impairment to be performed annually, or immediately if conditions indicate that such an impairment could exist. We adopted the provisions of SFAS 142 effective January 1, 2002, and as a result, no longer record goodwill amortization (2001 goodwill amortization was $36.1 million, or $32.0 million after tax or $0.65 per diluted share).

In the second quarter of 2002, we completed our initial goodwill impairment review as required by SFAS 142 and concluded that none of our goodwill was impaired as of December 31, 2001. The fair value of each of our reporting units was estimated by an independent third party using a combination of the discounted cash flow, market comparable, and market capitalization approaches. We will test goodwill of each of our reporting units for impairment annually in the fourth quarter.

Had we accounted for goodwill under SFAS 142 for all prior periods presented, our net income and earnings per share would have been as follows:

In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143 (SFAS 143),Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, which is effective January 1, 2003. SFAS 143 requires entities to record the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred. We are currently in the process of evaluating the effect the adoption of this standard will have on our consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

Pentair, Inc. and subsidiaries

Notes to condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited)—(continued)

In September 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144 (SFAS 144), Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. While SFAS 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of, it retains many of the fundamental provisions of that statement. The adoption of this standard on January 1, 2002 did not have an effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146 (SFAS 146),Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. SFAS 146 addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3,Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (Including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring). SFAS 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred, rather than at the date of the entity’s commitment to an exit plan. This statement is effective for exit and disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. Since adoption of this SFAS is prospective, we do not believe that the implementation of this SFAS will have a material impact on our financial statements.

Effective January 1, 2002, we adopted EITF Issue No. 01-9, Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer or a Reseller of the Vendor’s Products. This new standard requires that certain payments to our customers for cooperative advertising and certain sales incentive offers that were historically classified in selling, general and administrative expense be reclassified and shown as a reduction in net sales. EITF 01-9 also requires the reclassification of previously reported results of operations for periods prior to the adoption to conform to the current presentation. Accordingly, previously reported net sales for the three and nine month periods ended September 29, 2001 were reduced by $10.4 million and $30.2 million (with an offsetting reduction in selling expense), respectively. The adoption of this new standard had no impact on previously reported operating income, net income, or earnings per share.

Equity Method Investment

We have invested approximately $24.9 million to take a 40 percent interest in certain joint venture operations of an Asian supplier for bench and portable tools, of which $4.5 million was paid in the first nine months of 2002. We hold an option to increase our ownership interest in these joint ventures to 100 percent. Our portion of the earnings of these joint ventures is included in cost of goods sold; however, it is not material.

Cost Method Investment

In July 2002, we invested an additional $5.0 million for a total investment of $10.0 million in the preferred stock of a privately held developer and manufacturer of laser leveling and measuring devices accounted for under the cost method. In addition, we have other cost method investments as disclosed in our 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

In March 2002, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement to effectively convert interest rate expense on $100 million of Senior notes for the term of the notes (maturing October 2009) from a 7.85 percent fixed annual rate to a floating annual rate equal to the six month LIBOR rate plus 2.49 percent. This swap agreement was designated and accounted for as a fair value hedge in accordance with SFAS No. 133 (SFAS 133), Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended. In September 2002, we terminated this swap agreement and received $8.2 million. This amount is recorded as a premium to the carrying amount of the notes in the condensed consolidated balance sheet and will be amortized as a reduction of interest expense over the remaining term of the Senior notes. The $8.2 million is also shown in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows as an increase in other assets and liabilities.

Concurrent with the sale of the interest rate swap, we entered into a new interest rate swap agreement to effectively convert $100 million of Senior notes for the term of the notes (maturing October 2009) from a 7.85 percent fixed annual rate to a floating annual rate equal to the six month LIBOR rate plus 3.91 percent. This swap agreement has been designated and accounted for as a fair value hedge in accordance with SFAS 133. Since this swap qualifies for the short-cut method under SFAS 133, changes in the fair value of the swap (included in other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheet) are offset by changes in the fair value of the designated debt being hedged. Consequently, there is no impact on net income or shareholders’ equity.

Restructuring Charge

In the fourth quarter of 2001, we recorded a restructuring charge of $42.8 million consisting of:

$39.4 million related to the consolidation of manufacturing operations and the elimination of non-critical support facilities within our Enclosures segment; and

$3.4 million for the write-off of internal-use software development costs at corporate for the abandonment of a company-wide human resource system.

Of the total $42.8 million, $16.7 million relates to employee termination benefits for approximately 900 employees, of which approximately 830 have been terminated as of September 28, 2002. Employee termination benefits primarily represent cash payments for severance and outplacement counseling fees. The termination of approximately 500 employees was the direct result of plant closures with the remaining reductions spread across a wide range of functions. Since the beginning of 2002, we have closed five manufacturing facilities: Houston, TX; Pensauken, NJ; Brooklyn Center, MN; Livingston, Scotland and Bonneuil, France. Also closed were a warehouse and training facility in the U.S. and four sales offices (two in the U.S. and two in Europe). Approximately $6.0 million of the remaining $9.5 million liability for employee termination benefits represents payments to employees terminated in connection with plant closures that have yet to be paid, awaiting the results of potential litigation proceedings. The remaining $3.5 million relates to ongoing payments to terminated employees and to funds that will be used for the remaining planned terminations.

Exit costs include the incremental costs and contractual obligations for items such as lease termination payments and other facility exit costs. Of the 11 closed facilities, five have been disposed of, two are owned and currently held for resale, and four are leased and currently held for sublease.

Included in other current liabilities on the September 28, 2002 condensed consolidated balance sheet is the unused portion of the restructuring charge liability of $11.7 million. We expect to complete the remaining restructuring activities in fourth quarter of 2002. The restructuring liability will be funded through cash provided by operations.

The components of the restructuring charge and utilization are as follows:

We adopted EITF 01-9 effective January 1, 2002 which resulted in the reclassification (reduction) of previously reported net sales for the three and nine month periods ended September 29, 2001 of $10.4 million and $30.2 million (with an offsetting reduction in selling expense), respectively. The adoption of this new standard had no impact on previously reported operating income, net income, or earnings per share.

Discontinued Operations

In October 2001, we completed the sale of our Service Equipment businesses to Clore Automotive, LLC (Clore) and received short-term notes receivable of $18.2 million, of which $12.1 million was received as of December 31, 2001. On August 15, 2002, Clore notified us that they were in default of their loan agreements with their primary lender. As a result, they became in default with the note agreements owed to Pentair. As of September 28, 2002, $5.4 million of the short-term notes receivable with Clore remained unpaid. Clore continues to negotiate with their primary lender and Pentair on the restructuring of their outstanding debt obligations. Based on current negotiations, we believe the amounts owed to Pentair to be recoverable.

Subsequent Events

Acquisitions

On September 30, 2002, we acquired 100 percent of the common stock of Plymouth Products, Inc. from USF Consumer & Commercial WaterGroup, a unit of Vivendi Environnement, for $120.1 million in cash, net of cash acquired, plus debt assumed of approximately $1.1 million. Plymouth Products, Inc. is a manufacturer of water filtration products used in residential, commercial, and industrial applications and had sales in 2001 in excess of $80.0 million.

On October 2, 2002, we acquired 100 percent of the common stock of privately held Oldham Saw Co., Inc. for $49.8 million cash, net of cash acquired plus debt assumed of approximately $1.5 million. Oldham Saw Co., Inc. designs and manufactures router bits, circular saw blades, and related accessories for the do-it-yourself and professional power tool markets and had net sales in the last 12 months of approximately $59.0 million.

These acquisitions were financed through available lines of credit and had no impact on our compliance with loan covenants.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF

OPERATIONS

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Our disclosure and analysis in this report may contain some forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements give our current expectations or forecasts of future events. Forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “expected,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “project,” or “continue,” or the negative thereof or similar words. From time to time, we also may provide oral or written forward-looking statements in other materials we release to the public. Any or all of our forward-looking statements in this report and in any public statements we make could be materially different from actual results. They can be affected by assumptions we might make or by known or unknown risks or uncertainties. Consequently, no forward-looking statements can be guaranteed. We undertake no obligation to publicly update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Investors should also understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors and should not consider the following list to be a complete statement of all-potential risks and uncertainties.

Any change in the following factors may impact the achievement of results:

changes in industry conditions, such as:

the strength of product demand;

the intensity of competition;

pricing pressures;

market acceptance of new product introductions;

the introduction of new products by competitors;

our ability to source components from third parties without interruption and at reasonable prices; and

the financial condition of our customers.

changes in our business strategies, including acquisition, divestiture, and restructuring activities;

legal, governmental, and regulatory policies;

general economic conditions, such as the rate of economic growth in our principal geographic or product markets or fluctuations in exchange rates;

changes in operating factors, such as improvement (or its opposite) in manufacturing activities and the recognition of related efficiencies or inefficiencies;

inventory risks due to shifts in market demand; and

our ability to accurately evaluate the effects of contingent liabilities such as taxes, product liability, environmental, and other claims.

The foregoing factors are not exhaustive, and new factors may emerge or changes to the foregoing factors may occur that would impact our business.

OUR BUSINESS

We are a diversified industrial manufacturer operating in three segments: Tools, Water, and Enclosures. Our Tools segment manufactures and markets a wide range of power tools under several brand names — Porter-Cable^TM, Delta^®, Biesemeyer^®, Ex-Cell^TM, Air America^®, Charge Air Pro^®, and Water Driver^TM — generating approximately 40 percent of total revenues. Our Water segment manufactures and markets essential products for the transport and treatment of water, wastewater and fluids and generates approximately 35 percent of revenues. Brand names within the Water segment include Myers^®, Fairbanks Morse^®, Hydromatic^®, Aurora^®, Water Ace^®, Shur-Dri^®, Fleck^®, SIATA^TM, CodeLine^TM, Structural^TM, WellMate^TMand Pentair Pool Products^TM. Our Enclosures segment accounts for approximately 25 percent of revenues, and designs, manufactures, and markets customized and standard metal and composite enclosures that house and protect sensitive controls and components for markets that include, testing and measurement equipment, automotive, general electronics, data communications, networking, and telecommunications. The segment goes to market under three primary brands: Hoffman Enclosures^®, Schroff^®, and Pentair Electronic Packaging^®.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The accounting policies used in preparing our interim 2002 condensed consolidated financial statements are the same as those described in our annual report, except as described in Note 2 of this report “New Accounting Standards.”

In preparing the financial statements, we follow accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which in many cases require us to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported. Many of these policies are relatively straightforward. There are, however, a few policies that are critical because they are important in determining the financial condition and results of operations and they can be difficult to apply. Our critical accounting policies include those related to:

self-insurance reserves for product liability, workers’ compensation and other claims;

the resolution of matters related to open tax years;

the evaluation of long-lived assets, including goodwill and investments, for impairment; and

accounting for pensions and other post-retirement benefits, because of the importance of management judgment in making the estimates necessary to apply these policies.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS – Also see Note 2 (New Accounting Standards) of ITEM 1

We adopted three new accounting standards in the first quarter of 2002:

SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets;

SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets; and

EITF Issue No. 01-9, Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer or a Reseller of the Vendor’s Products.

SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have an indefinite life no longer be amortized effective January 1, 2002. Prior to adoption of this standard, goodwill amortization was included as a part of selling, general and administrative expense. This standard did not require restatement of prior period amounts to be consistent with the current year presentation. We have included supplemental financial tables in the following discussion that show the effect of excluding goodwill amortization for the prior year period to be comparable with the current year presentation.

SFAS No. 144 addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets effective January 1, 2002. The adoption of this standard did not have an effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

SFAS 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred, rather than at the date of the entity’s commitment to an exit plan. This statement is effective for exit and disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. Since adoption of this SFAS is prospective, we do not believe that the implementation of this SFAS will have a material impact on our financial statements.

EITF 01-9 requires that certain payments to our customers for cooperative advertising and certain sales incentive offers that were historically classified in selling, general and administrative expense be reclassified and shown as a reduction in net sales. EITF 01-9 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2001 and requires the reclassification of previously reported results of operations for periods prior to adoption to conform to the current presentation. Accordingly, previously reported net sales for the three and nine month periods ended September 29, 2001 were reduced by $10.4 million and $30.2 million (with an offsetting reduction in selling expense), respectively. The adoption of this new standard had no impact on previously reported operating income, net income, or earnings per share.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Third quarter and first nine months of 2002 operating income for the Tools segment and Other segment (corporate) have been adjusted from our third quarter earnings release on October 15, 2002 due to final closing entries. These entries had no impact on revenue, decreased Tools segment operating income by approximately $490,000, increased total operating income by approximately $200,000, and increased net income by approximately $140,000. There was no change to previously announced earnings per share.

Net sales

The components of the net sales change in 2002 from 2001 were as follows:

	% change from 2001
Percentages	Third quarter		Nine months
Volume	(1.0	)	(2.2	)
Price	(1.0	)	(0.5	)
Currency	0.9		0.2

Total	(1.1	)	(2.5	)

Net sales in the third quarter and first nine months of 2002 totaled $629.3 million and $1,940.5 million, compared with $636.2 million and $1,989.8 million for the same periods in 2001. The $6.9 million or 1.1 percent decline in net sales for the third quarter of 2002 and $49.3 million or 2.5 percent decline in net sales for the first nine months of 2002 compared to the same periods in the prior year were primarily due to:

volume declines in our Enclosures segment, reflecting severely reduced capital spending in the industrial market and over-capacity and weak demand in the datacom and telecom markets;

reduced sales of pool and spa equipment in the third quarter and nine month periods of 2002 compared to the prior year periods, principally due to a shift in order patterns with a major customer. Overall Water segment sales for the first nine months of 2002 were up, driven by increases in the retail and municipal pump markets; and

declines in average selling prices due to the introduction of lower price point products for the Delta Shopmaster^™ brand and more aggressive promotional pricing and competition in the retail channel for tools. These declines were partially offset by volume increases, particularly for pressure washers and Delta products in both the third quarter and first nine months of 2002.

The continued weakening of the U.S. dollar in the third quarter of 2002 also increased the dollar value of foreign sales by about 0.9 percent for the quarter and 0.2 percent on a year-to-date basis.

Sales by segment and the change from the prior year periods were as follows:

	Three months ended								Nine months ended
In thousands	September 28 2002		September 29 2001		$ change			% change	September 28 2002		September 29 2001		$ change			% change

Tools

The 10.0 percent and 9.5 percent increases in Tools segment sales in the third quarter and first nine months of 2002 from 2001 was primarily driven by:

higher sales volume in our DeVilbiss Air Power Company (DAPC) business, particularly for pressure washers; and

higher sales volume in our Delta business as a result of our new sub-branding strategy through the creation of Delta Shopmaster^™ and Delta Industrial^™. The Delta Shopmaster^™ brand is targeted toward the entry-level do-it-yourselfer and the Delta Industrial^™ brand is targeted toward the professional craftsman.

These increases were partially offset by:

Water

The 2.9 percent decline in Water segment sales in the third quarter of 2002 from 2001 was primarily due to:

lower sales volume for our pool and spa equipment products due to an anticipated seasonal fall-off in the market, combined with unfavorable timing of orders. Pool and spa equipment sales in 2001 were slow until June which resulted in a relatively strong third quarter, while sales in 2002 resulted in a strong second quarter and an expected weaker third quarter.

The decline in pool and spa equipment sales was partially offset by:

strong pump sales during the quarter. The higher pump sales were primarily the result of an increase in volume in the residential business sold through retail which generates lower margins than the commercial and industrial side of the business; and

favorable foreign currency effects.

The 1.6 percent increase in Water segment sales in the first nine months of 2002 from 2001 was primarily due to:

strong pump sales particularly in the residential retail and municipal markets.

These increases were partially offset by:

lower sales volume for our pool and spa equipment products due to expected seasonal fall-off in the market, combined with unfavorable timing of orders.

Enclosures

The 14.8 percent and 23.9 percent declines in Enclosures segment sales in the third quarter and first nine months of 2002 from 2001 was primarily due to:

lower sales volume reflecting severely reduced capital spending in the industrial market and over-capacity and weak demand in the datacom and telecom markets.

This decrease was partially offset by:

favorable foreign currency effects.

Sales in the Enclosures segment have remained flat since the fourth quarter of 2001, and we are uncertain when the markets will recover. Despite extremely unfavorable market conditions, our Enclosures segment management is focused on two areas:

reducing existing cost structure; and

executing our growth initiatives that target higher sales to identified OEM’s, greater product breadth, increased geographic coverage, and new target markets.

As a result of the above efforts, we have seen an improvement in sequential operating income margin each quarter since the fourth quarter of 2001.

Supplemental Financial Information

Effective January 1, 2002, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 (SFAS 142), Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. This statement requires that goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have an indefinite life not be amortized. The following supplemental condensed consolidated statements of income are presented as if we had accounted for goodwill under SFAS 142 for all prior periods (i.e., no longer amortizing goodwill). The following table shows selected as reported and as adjusted numbers had we been accounting for goodwill under SFAS 142 for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 29, 2001.

The numbers for the three and nine month periods of 2001 have been adjusted to exclude goodwill amortization as noted above.

Gross profit

Gross profit margin was 23.7 percent of sales and 23.8 percent of sales in the third quarter and first nine months of 2002, compared with 23.4 percent and 23.3 percent of sales for the same periods last year.

The 0.3 percentage point and 0.5 percentage point increases in gross profit margin in the third quarter and first nine months of 2002 from 2001 was primarily the result of:

savings realized from our supply chain management and lean enterprise initiatives, primarily in our Tools segment;

higher sales volume in our Tools segment, particularly for pressure washers;

favorable product mix in both the Porter-Cable and Delta businesses (year-to-date period only) related to higher margin pneumatic products, accessories, planers, shapers and table saws as well as new products; and

slight increases in average selling prices in our Water segment (year-to-date period only).

These increases were somewhat offset by:

lower sales volume in our Enclosures segment resulting in unabsorbed overhead;

unfavorable product mix in our Water segment as a result of lower sales of higher margin pool and spa equipment due to timing of orders and higher sales of lower margin residential retail and municipal pumps and lower overhead absorption as we reduced inventory; and

decreases in average selling prices, primarily in our Tools segment due to the introduction of lower price point products for the Delta Shopmaster^™ brand and more aggressive promotional pricing and competition in the retail channel for tools.

SG&A and R&D

SG&A expense was 12.4 percent of sales in the third quarter of 2002, compared with 12.8 percent (calculation excludes goodwill amortization of $9.0 million) for the same period in 2001. SG&A expense was 13.1 percent of sales in the first nine months of 2002, compared with 12.5 percent (excludes goodwill amortization of $27.2 million) for the same period in 2001.

The 0.4 percentage point decline in SG&A in the third quarter of 2002 from 2001 reflects:

lower spending for process improvement investments; and

lower expense related to company bonus programs.

The 0.6 percentage point increase in SG&A in the first nine months of 2002 from 2001 reflects:

higher selling expense as we continue to fund brand awareness advertising in our Tools segment;

additional costs incurred in the second quarter of 2002 as we intentionally accelerated our outsourced internal audit work and, simultaneously, began to recruit and hire internal resources to bring the internal audit function back in-house;

higher bad debt expense; and

Enclosures segment sales declining at a much faster rate than the decline in SG&A spending.

R&D expense was $8.9 million and $26.3 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2002, compared with $7.8 million and $22.8 million for the same periods last year. The year-over-year increases are primarily the result of additional investments related to new product development initiatives in our Tools and Water segments.

Adjusted operating income	$	25,479		$	19,842	$	73,002		$	50,561

% of net sales		9.6%			8.2%		8.9%			6.7%
Percentage point change		1.4	pts				2.2	pts

The 1.4 percentage point and 2.2 percentage point increases in our Tools segment operating income margin in the third quarter and first nine months of 2002 from 2001 (excluding goodwill amortization) was primarily the result of:

cost savings as a result of our supply management and lean enterprise initiatives;

higher sales volume in our DAPC business for pressure washers and improved profitability in our Delta business due to increased sourcing of product from China; and

These increases were partially offset by:

additional spending to improve our business processes through lean enterprise;

decreases in average selling prices due to the introduction of lower price point products for the Delta Shopmaster^™ brand and more aggressive promotional pricing and competition in the retail channel for tools;

higher selling expense to fund brand awareness advertising; and

higher R&D expense related to new product development initiatives.

Water

The following table provides a comparison of Water segment operating income as reported, and those results as if we had accounted for goodwill under SFAS 142 for all prior periods presented:

	Three months ended					Nine months ended
In thousands	September 28 2002			September 29 2001		September 28 2002			September 29 2001

Operating income as reported	$	29,969		$	28,427	$	103,424		$	92,270

% of net sales		13.4%			14.3%		14.8%			15.4%
Percentage point change		(0.9	) pts				(0.6	) pts

The 0.9 percentage point and 0.6 percentage point declines in our Water segment operating income margin in the third quarter and first nine months of 2002 from 2001 (excluding goodwill amortization) was primarily the result of:

unfavorable product mix as a result of lower sales of higher margin pool and spa equipment due to timing of orders and higher sales of lower margin residential retail and municipal pumps;

lower overhead absorption as we reduced inventory; and

higher marketing costs targeted toward the industrial market.

These decreases were partially offset by:

cost improvements as a result of our lean enterprise initiatives; and

slight increases in average selling prices (year-to-date only).

Enclosures

The following table provides a comparison of Enclosures segment operating income as reported, and those results as if we had accounted for goodwill under SFAS 142 for all prior periods presented:

	Three months ended					Nine months ended
In thousands	September 28 2002			September 29 2001		September 28 2002			September 29 2001
Enclosures
Operating income as reported	$	8,884		$	8,740	$	20,487		$	39,811
Add back goodwill amortization		—			2,066		—			6,272

Adjusted operating income	$	8,884		$	10,806	$	20,487		$	46,083

% of net sales		6.3%			6.6%		4.9%			8.4%
Percentage point change		(0.3	) pts				(3.5	) pts

The 0.3 percentage point and 3.5 percentage point declines in our Enclosures segment operating income margin in the third quarter and first nine months of 2002 from 2001 (excluding goodwill amortization) was primarily the result of:

lower sales volume due to significant industry-wide sales declines, resulting in unabsorbed overhead despite reductions in overall cost structure; and

higher SG&A expense as a percent of sales, as the decline in sales was at a much faster rate than the reduction in costs, as well as higher bad debt expense (year-to-date only) as we increased reserves due to credit concerns related to a few specific customers.

These decreases were partially offset by:

savings realized as a part of our restructuring program, net of one-time nonrecurring costs; and

material cost savings and other cost reductions as a result of our lean enterprise initiatives.

Net interest expense

Net interest expense was $8.2 million and $32.4 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2002, a decline of $6.2 million and $16.0 million from the comparable periods in 2001, respectively. Included in the $32.4 million, is a write-off of $1.8 million of financing costs (in the first quarter of 2002) related to excess capacity on certain credit facilities that we do not expect to utilize. Excluding the $1.8 million write-off, net interest expense for the nine-month period declined $17.8 million. The decline in net interest expense in 2002 from 2001 is the result of lower interest rates on our variable rate debt and lower average borrowings, driven by our strong cash flow performance.

Provision for income taxes

Our effective tax rate was 30.2 percent and 32.0 percent in the third quarter and first nine months of 2002, compared with 28.7 percent and 30.4 percent, as if we had accounted for goodwill under SFAS 142 (32.9 percent and 35.0 percent as reported, respectively), for the comparable periods in 2001. The 1.5 percentage point and 1.6 percentage point increases reflect a change in U.S. versus foreign earnings mix in 2002 compared to 2001. We expect our effective tax rate to be approximately 32.0 percent for 2002.

Other expense

In the first quarter of 2001, we incurred a non-cash charge of $2.5 million for the write-off of our business-to-business e-commerce equity investment that we made in early 2000.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash requirements for working capital, capital expenditures, equity investments, smaller acquisitions, debt repayments, and dividend payments are generally funded from cash generated from operations, and availability under existing committed revolving credit facilities. Cash requirements for large acquisitions are generally funded through capital market transactions, which could include the issuance of new debt or the sale of common stock.

Some of our businesses are seasonal in nature due to the products they sell, particularly our tools business and our pool and spa equipment business. Consequently, in previous years, we have generally experienced negative free cash flow (defined as cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures, including both continuing and discontinued operations) in the first half of any given year. Free cash flow for the first nine months of 2002 was $197.2 million compared with $109.6 million for the same period in 2001. Included in the $197.2 million is $8.2 million related to an interest rate swap agreement that was terminated in September 2002. Our free cash flow goal for the full year of 2002 is $200.0 million and we expect to exceed this goal by approximately $20.0 million. Our long-term goal is to consistently generate free cash flow that equals or exceeds a 100 percent conversion ratio of net income. Our ability to convert net income into free cash flow gives us the opportunity to repay indebtedness and invest in new growth initiatives to create shareholder value.

The following table presents selected working capital measurements calculated from our monthly operating results based on a 13-month moving average:

Operating activities

Cash provided by operating activities was $220.9 million in the first nine months of 2002. Cash was provided by net income and non-cash related adjustments to net income as well as cash provided from changes in working capital balances as a result of our lean enterprise initiatives and focus on free cash flow.

Investing activities

Capital expenditures in the first nine months of 2002 and 2001 were $23.7 million and $37.6 million, respectively. We anticipate capital expenditures in 2002 to be approximately $50 million. Anticipated expenditures in 2002 are expected to be in the areas of tooling for new product development and general maintenance capital.

In 2001, we invested approximately $24.9 million to take a 40 percent interest in certain joint venture operations of an Asian supplier for bench and portable tools, of which $20.4 million was paid for the year ended December 31, 2001 and an additional $4.5 million was paid in the first nine months of 2002. We hold an option to increase our ownership interest in these joint ventures to 100 percent.

Financing activities

Cash used in financing activities for the first nine months of 2002 was $192.7 million and reflected a $168.3 million reduction in debt and payment of dividends of $27.1 million, or $0.55 per common share.

Financing matters and credit ratings

As of the end of the third quarter of 2002, our capital structure was comprised of $566.5 million in long-term debt (including current maturities), and $1,100.3 million in shareholders’ equity. The ratio of debt-to-total capital as of the end of the third quarter of 2002 was 34.0 percent, compared with 41.6 percent as of the end of 2001 and 44.3 percent as of the end of the third quarter of 2001. The 7.6 percentage point decline from the end of 2001 reflects a decrease in our total debt and an increase in our equity resulting from our strong cash flow performance. Our targeted debt-to-total capital ratio is around 40 percent.

As of September 28, 2002, we had $652.0 million in committed revolving credit facilities with various banks, of which $488.0 million was unused. Credit available under existing facilities, as limited by our tightest financial covenant, was approximately $223.0 million as of the end of September 2002 and is based on a ratio of total debt (including off-balance sheet synthetic lease obligations of $23.0 million) to EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization). Our debt agreements contain certain financial covenants that restrict the amount paid for dividends and require us to maintain certain financial ratios and a minimum net worth. We were in compliance with all covenants as of the end of the third quarter of 2002.

Our credit ratings affect our ability to access debt in the capital markets and the interest rate we pay. Our current credit ratings are as follows:

Rating Agency		Long-Term Debt Rating
Standard & Poor’s ⁽¹⁾		BBB
Moody’s		Baa3

⁽¹⁾

On July 23, 2002, Standard & Poor’s revised its outlook on Pentair from negative to stable.

We believe cash generated from operating activities, together with credit available under committed and uncommitted facilities and our current cash position, will provide adequate short-term and long-term liquidity.

Other Factors

We currently have a minimum required cash pension contribution coming due of approximately $9.0 million for 2002 for our U.S. qualified pensions plans with a maximum deductible cash contribution of approximately $16.0 million. The minimum contribution is not due until September 2003, however, we may choose to make a contribution in 2002.

Discontinued Operations

In October 2001, we completed the sale of our Service Equipment businesses to Clore Automotive, LLC (Clore) and received short-term notes receivable of $18.2 million, of which $12.1 million was received as of December 31, 2001. On August 15, 2002, Clore notified us that they were in default of their loan agreements with their primary lender. As a result, they became in default with the note agreements owed to Pentair. As of September 28, 2002, $5.4 million of the short-term notes receivable with Clore remained unpaid. Clore continues to negotiate with their primary lender and Pentair on the restructuring their outstanding debt obligations. Based on current negotiations, we believe the amounts owed to Pentair to be recoverable.

Subsequent Events

Acquisitions

These acquisitions were financed through available lines of credit and had no impact on our compliance with loan covenants.

(including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

(b)

Changes in Internal Controls

There have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors which could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date that we carried out our evaluation.
