INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT
Item 8.01. Other Events.
     Rockwell Automation, Inc. (“Rockwell”) is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Form 8-K”) to update certain sections included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006 (the “Form 10-K”) for presentation of (i) its former Dodge mechanical and Reliance Electric motors and motor repair services businesses and its former ElectroCraft Engineered Solutions business as discontinued operations and (ii) its historical Control Systems operating segment as two operating segments consistent with those being reported beginning in Rockwell’s 2007 fiscal year.
     As reported in Rockwell’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended December 31, 2006 (the “Form 10-Q”), Rockwell (i) announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Dodge mechanical and Reliance Electric motors and motor repair services businesses on November 7, 2006 and (ii) sold the assets of its ElectroCraft Engineered Solutions business in March 2006. Rockwell presented these businesses as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated financial statements included in the Form 10-Q for all periods presented in the Form 10-Q. On January 31, 2007, Rockwell completed the sale of its Dodge mechanical and Reliance Electric motors and motor repair services businesses.
     Also as reported in the Form 10-Q, Rockwell realigned its internal management reporting structure effective October 1, 2006. As a result of this realignment, in the Form 10-Q, Rockwell began reporting its historical Control Systems operating segment as two new operating segments: Architecture & Software and Control Products & Solutions.
     Rockwell’s revised selected financial data for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003 and 2002, audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004 and related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, reflecting the presentation of its Dodge mechanical and Reliance Electric motors and motor repair services businesses and its ElectroCraft Engineered Solutions business as discontinued operations and its historical Control Systems operating segment as two operating segments, are filed as Exhibit 99 to this Form 8-K. These new presentations have no effect on Rockwell’s reported net income for any reporting period and have no material effect on Rockwell’s results of operations or financial condition. The revised sections of the Form 10-K included in this Form 8-K have not otherwise been updated for events occurring after the date of the consolidated financial statements, which were originally presented in the Form 10-K. All other information in the Form 10-K remains unchanged, and has not been updated for events occurring after September 30, 2006. This Form 8-K should be read in conjunction with the Form 10-K (except for Items 6, 7 and 8, which are included in this Form 8-K) and Rockwell’s other periodic reports on Form 10-Q and Form 8-K.
