COOPER INDUSTRIES PLC
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)

Note 1. Accounting Policies

     Basis of Presentation — The consolidated financial statements of Cooper Industries plc, an Irish company (“Cooper”), have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The financial information presented as of any date other than December 31 has been prepared from the books and records without audit. Financial information as of December 31 has been derived from Cooper’s audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial information for the periods indicated, have been included. For further information regarding Cooper’s accounting policies, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2010 included in Part IV of Cooper’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

     On March 26, 2010, Cooper announced that it entered into a Framework Agreement with Danaher Corporation to create a joint venture combining Cooper’s Tools business with certain Tools businesses from Danaher’s Tools and Components Segment (the “Joint Venture”). On July 6, 2010, Cooper announced the completion of the Joint Venture, named Apex Tool Group, LLC. Cooper and Danaher each own a 50% interest in the Joint Venture, have equal representation on its Board of Directors and have a 50% voting interest in the Joint Venture. At completion of the transaction in July 2010, Cooper deconsolidated the Tools business assets and liabilities contributed to the Joint Venture and recognized Cooper’s 50% ownership interest as an equity investment. Recording the investment at its fair value of $480 million resulted in a pretax loss of $134.5 million related to the transaction, which was recognized in the second quarter of 2010. Beginning in the third quarter of 2010, Cooper recognizes its proportionate share of the Joint Venture’s operating results using the equity method.

     New Accounting Pronouncements — In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued revised guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income that will be effective for Cooper beginning in 2012. This guidance eliminates the option to present the components of comprehensive income as part of the statement of shareholders’ equity and also requires presentation of reclassification adjustments from other comprehensive income to net income on the face of the financial statements. The implementation of this revised guidance in 2012 will change the presentation of our financial statements but will not have any impact on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 3. Goodwill

     Cooper has goodwill of $2.40 billion and $2.36 billion at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. Cooper completed its annual impairment tests for each reporting unit’s goodwill as of January 1, 2011. The results of step one of the goodwill impairment tests did not require the completion of step two of the test for any reporting unit.

Note 4. Contingencies

     Cooper and its subsidiaries are defendants or otherwise involved in a number of lawsuits in the ordinary course of business. Cooper records its best estimate of a loss when the loss is considered probable. When a liability is probable and there is a range of estimated loss with no best estimate in the range, Cooper records the minimum estimated liability related to the lawsuits or claims. As additional information becomes available, Cooper assesses the potential liability related to pending litigation and claims and revises its estimates. Due to uncertainties related to the resolution of lawsuits and claims, the ultimate outcome may differ from the estimates. In the opinion of management and based on liability accruals provided, the ultimate exposure with respect to these pending lawsuits and claims is not expected to have a material adverse effect on Cooper’s consolidated financial position or cash flows, although they could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations for a particular reporting period.

     The U.S. Federal Government has enacted legislation intended to deny certain federal funding and government contracts to U.S. companies that reincorporate outside the United States, including Section 745 of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2008 (Public Law 110-161), Section 724(c) of the Transportation, Treasury, Housing and Urban Development, the Judiciary, and Independent Agencies Appropriations Act, 2006 (Public Law 109-115), and 6 U.S.C. 395(b) of The Homeland Security Act. Cooper has self-reported to the Department of Defense certain transactions aggregating approximately $8 million with U.S. government entities which may be subject to the legislation. At the time of this filing, it is not possible to determine whether any fines or penalties may be assessed against Cooper.

     In connection with laws and regulations pertaining to the protection of the environment, Cooper and its subsidiaries are party to several environmental proceedings and remediation investigations and cleanups and, along with other companies, have been named a potentially responsible party (PRP) for certain sites at which hazardous substances have been released into the environment (“Superfund sites”).

     Each of these matters is subject to various uncertainties and it is possible that some of these matters will be decided unfavorably against Cooper. The resolution of these matters often spans several years and frequently involves regulatory oversight or adjudication. Additionally, many remediation requirements are not fixed and are likely to be affected by future technological, site and regulatory developments. Consequently, the ultimate liability with respect to such matters, as well as the timing of cash disbursements cannot be determined with certainty.

     Environmental remediation costs are accrued based on estimates of known environmental remediation exposures. Such accruals are adjusted as information develops or circumstances change. The environmental liability accrual includes amounts related to sites owned by Cooper, retained environmental liabilities related to sites previously owned by Cooper and third-party sites where Cooper was a potentially responsible party. Third-party sites usually involve multiple contributors where Cooper’s liability will be determined based on an estimate of Cooper’s proportionate responsibility for the total cleanup. The amount actually accrued for such sites is based on these estimates as well as an assessment of the financial capacity of the other potentially responsible parties. At June 30, 2011, Cooper had an accrual of $23.3 million with respect to potential environmental liabilities, including $9.1 million classified as a long-term liability. Cooper has not utilized any form of discounting in establishing its environmental liability accruals.

     In the first quarter of 2010 Cooper received two notices of potential liability under Section 107(a) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA) from the United States Environmental Protection Agency with respect to the release or threatened release of hazardous

substances, pollutants, and contaminants into the 17-mile stretch of the river known as the Lower Passaic River Study Area, which is part of the Diamond Alkali Superfund Site located in Newark, New Jersey. The EPA sent notices to over 125 companies. The notices to Cooper identified three former sites in the Newark area owned by the former Thomas A. Edison, Inc. and McGraw-Edison Company. The notice alleges that as the successor to Thomas A. Edison, Inc. and the McGraw-Edison Company, the former owners and operators of the facilities, Cooper may be potentially liable for response costs and clean up of the site. Although the notices do not state an amount of potential liability, Cooper has included a provision for this claim in its environmental accrual assessment based on Cooper’s current estimate of the most likely amount of losses that it believes will be incurred.

Note 5. Debt

     On May 26, 2011, Cooper entered into a credit agreement that provides a $500 million five-year committed bank credit facility that replaces Cooper’s previous credit facility that was to mature in August 2012. The agreement for the credit facility requires that Cooper maintain a prescribed limit on debt as a percentage of total capitalization. Retained earnings are unrestricted as to the payment of dividends, except to the extent that payment would cause a violation of the prescribed limit on the debt-to-total capitalization ratio. The credit agreement is not subject to termination based upon a decrease in Cooper’s debt ratings or a material adverse change. At June 30, 2011, Cooper has $500 million available under this credit facility.

     At June 30, 2011, Cooper has $15.8 million of short-term debt and has no commercial paper borrowings outstanding.

Note 6. Shareholders’ Equity

     Cooper Industries plc has common shares, $.01 par value outstanding of 164,982,315 (net of 7,183,173 treasury shares) and 164,130,802 (net of 6,537,900 treasury shares) at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. During the first six months of 2011, Cooper issued 1,496,786 common shares primarily in connection with employee incentive and benefit plans and Cooper’s dividend reinvestment program. During the first six months of 2011, Cooper Industries plc purchased 645,273 shares of treasury stock at an average price of $62.68 per share under the Board of Directors authorizations discussed below.

     On February 9, 2009, Cooper’s Board of Directors authorized the purchase of ten million shares of common stock. Cooper’s Board has also authorized the repurchase of shares issued from time to time under its equity compensation plans, matched savings plan and dividend reinvestment plan in order to offset the dilution that results from issuing shares under these plans. For 2011 Cooper’s current estimate is that 3 million shares would be issued under equity compensation plans. Cooper may continue to repurchase shares under these authorizations from time to time during 2011. The decision whether to do so will depend on the favorability of market conditions, as well as potential cash requirements for acquisitions and debt repayments. As of June 30, 2011, 11,083,462 shares remain available to be repurchased under the authorizations by the Board of Directors.

Note 8. Stock-Based Compensation

     Cooper has a share-based compensation plan known as the Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan (the “Prior Stock Plan”). The Prior Stock Plan provided for the granting of stock options, performance-based share awards and restricted stock units. Since the Prior Stock Plan’s original inception in 1996, the aggregate number of shares authorized under the Prior Stock Plan was 41 million. On May 2, 2011, Cooper shareholders approved the Cooper Industries plc 2011 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2011 Incentive Plan”) that replaces the Prior Stock Plan and the Management Annual Incentive Plan (the “Bonus Plan”). The 2011 Incentive Plan is intended to promote our long-term success and achievement of both our short- and long-term business objectives and increase shareholder value by attracting, motivating, and retaining non-employee directors, officers and employees. The 2011 Incentive Plan provides for the granting of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance unit awards, performance share awards, other stock-based awards, cash-based awards and dividend equivalents to eligible participants. At the time of approval of the 2011 Incentive Plan, there were 10.6 million shares available for future grants, including approximately 4.0 million shares that were available for future grants under the Prior Stock Plan and the Bonus Plan which were transferred to and are now available for issuance under the 2011 Incentive Plan. Shares that are subject to outstanding awards under the Prior Stock Plan that

are forfeited or are otherwise settled or terminated without a distribution of shares will be transferred to and available for issuance under the 2011 Incentive Plan. At May 2, 2011, Cooper had approximately 9.4 million stock awards outstanding under the Prior Stock Plan.

     During the six month period ended June 30, 2011, Cooper granted 1,310,090 stock option awards, 402,028 performance-based shares and 219,603 restricted stock units. As of June 30, 2011, 10,609,727 shares were available for future grants under the 2011 Incentive Plan. Total compensation expense for all share-based compensation arrangements was $19.4 million and $16.7 million for the six month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The total income tax benefit recognized in the income statement for all share-based compensation arrangements was $7.0 million and $5.9 million for the six month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Note 9. Income Taxes

     The effective tax rate for continuing operations was 16.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 12.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Income tax expense for continuing operations was reduced by $9.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2011 for discrete tax adjustments related to the settlement of the discontinued operations asbestos liability that was required under accounting principles to be classified in continuing operations. During the second quarter of 2010, Cooper reduced income tax expense for continuing operations by $40.8 million to recognize the discrete tax affects related to the contribution of net assets to the Tools joint venture. Excluding these discrete tax adjustments, Cooper’s effective tax rate for continuing operations was 19.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 20.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

     Net deferred taxes recognized in the balance sheet consist of:

		June				December
		30, 2011				31, 2010
		(in millions)
Other current assets		$	115.2			$	76.0
Other noncurrent assets			—				42.1
Other long-term liabilities			(156.9	)			—
Net deferred tax assets (liabilities)		$	(41.7	)		$	118.1

     The decrease during 2011 in the net deferred tax assets recognized was primarily related to the settlement of the discontinued operations asbestos liability as further discussed in Note 14 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

     The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) completed its examinations of Cooper’s 2007 and 2008 Federal Tax Returns and issued notices of assessment in the amounts of $16 million and $14 million, respectively primarily by challenging Cooper’s intercompany pricing with a foreign affiliate. During the first quarter of 2011, the IRS and Cooper finalized a settlement regarding these matters. After consideration of the related liability Cooper had recorded, the settlement had no significant effect on Cooper’s consolidated financial statements.

     In June 2008 the German Tax Authorities issued a proposed audit finding related to a 2004 reorganization that was treated as a non-taxable event. In December 2009 at Cooper’s request, the German taxing authorities finalized and issued a notice of assessment for €62.8 million, inclusive of €5.7 million of interest, related to this matter. To continue to challenge the German tax authorities finding, Cooper paid the assessment in December 2009 for approximately $90 million and filed a suit to challenge the notice of assessment. Cooper continues to believe that the reorganization was properly reflected on its German income tax returns in accordance with applicable tax laws and regulations in effect during the period involved and will challenge the assessment vigorously. Although the outcome of the proceedings with the

German Tax Authorities cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that it is more likely than not that its tax position related to the 2004 reorganization will prevail. As such, Cooper has recognized the €62.8 million tax payment, including interest, in other noncurrent assets in the accompanying balance sheets. The German tax payment has been included in Cooper’s foreign tax credit calculations in the United States, which would be amended upon successful defense of the German reorganization.

     Cooper is under examination by various United States State and Local taxing authorities, as well as various taxing authorities in other countries. Cooper is no longer subject to U.S. Federal income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2010 and, with few exceptions, Cooper is no longer subject to State and Local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2000. Cooper fully cooperates with all audits, but defends existing positions vigorously. These audits are in various stages of completion. To provide for potential tax exposures, Cooper maintains a liability for unrecognized tax benefits, which management believes is adequate. The results of future audit assessments, if any, could have a material effect on Cooper’s cash flows as these audits are completed.

     At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, Cooper has a foreign deferred tax asset of approximately $1.3 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively, relating to a net operating loss carryforward that was approved by a foreign jurisdiction in September 2009. Although this net operating loss carryforward has an indefinite life, a corresponding valuation allowance for the same amount was recognized because management believes at this time it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

     Cooper has unrecognized gross tax benefits of $19.5 million at June 30, 2011. Approximately $14.6 million of the unrecognized tax benefits would favorably impact the effective tax rate if recognized. Cooper believes it is reasonably possible that additional tax benefits in the range of approximately $6 to $11 million could be recognized during the next 12 months as audits close and statutes expire.

Note 13. Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities, Concentrations of Credit Risk and Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

     As a result of having sales, purchases and certain intercompany transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currencies of Cooper’s businesses, Cooper is exposed to the effect of currency exchange rate changes on its cash flows and earnings. Cooper enters into currency forward exchange contracts to hedge significant non-functional currency denominated transactions for periods consistent with the terms of the underlying transactions. Contracts generally have maturities that do not exceed one year.

     Currency forward exchange contracts executed to hedge forecasted transactions are accounted for as cash flow hedges. Currency forward exchange contracts executed to hedge a recognized asset, liability or firm commitment are accounted for as fair value hedges. Cooper sometimes enters into certain currency forward exchange contracts that are not designated as hedges. These contracts are intended to reduce cash flow volatility generally related to short-term intercompany financing transactions. Cooper also enters into commodity swaps to reduce the volatility of price fluctuations on a portion of up to eighteen months of forecasted material purchases. These instruments are designated as cash flow hedges. Cooper does not enter into speculative derivative transactions.

     During October 2005, Cooper entered into cross-currency swaps to effectively convert its newly issued $325 million, 5.25% fixed-rate debt maturing in November 2012 to €272.6 million of 3.55% fixed-rate debt. The $325 million debt issuance proceeds were swapped to €272.6 million and lent through an intercompany loan to a non-U.S. subsidiary to partially fund repayment of the 300 million Euro bond debt that matured on October 25, 2005. The cross-currency swaps mature in November 2012.

     Assets and liabilities measured at fair value using a market approach as of June 30, 2011 on a recurring basis are as follows:

		Assets				Liabilities
		Significant other				Significant other
		observable inputs				observable inputs
(in millions)		(Level 2)				(Level 2)
Short-term currency forward exchange contracts		$	10.1			$	(11.4	)
Long-term currency forward exchange contracts			52.5				(21.0	)
Short-term commodity swaps			0.7				(0.3	)
Long-term cross-currency swaps			—				(58.9	)

     Except as discussed below, the currency forward exchange contracts and commodity swaps in the above table are designated as hedging instruments. Currency forward exchange contracts representing approximately $33.9 million of assets and $22.6 million of liabilities at June 30, 2011 are not designated as hedging instruments.

     Assets and liabilities measured at fair value using a market approach as of December 31, 2010 on a recurring basis are as follows:

		Assets				Liabilities
		Significant other				Significant other
		observable inputs				observable inputs
(in millions)		(Level 2)				(Level 2)
Short-term currency forward exchange contracts		$	23.9			$	(24.7	)
Long-term currency forward exchange contracts			63.3				(26.4	)
Short-term commodity swaps			2.9				—
Long-term cross-currency swaps			—				(30.2	)

     Except as discussed below, the currency forward exchange contracts and commodity swaps in the above table are designated as hedging instruments. Currency forward exchange contracts representing approximately $48.7 million of assets and $38.3 million of liabilities at December 31, 2010 are not designated as hedging instruments.

     There were no changes in the valuation techniques used to measure asset or liability fair values on a recurring basis in 2011 or 2010.

     Gains or losses on derivative instruments are reported in the same line item as the underlying hedged transaction in the consolidated statements of income. The net gain or loss on currency forward exchange contracts was not material in the six month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. For commodity swaps, Cooper recognized, in cost of sales, a net gain of $1.6 and $1.7 million in the six month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. At June 30, 2011, Cooper estimates that approximately $0.3 million of net losses on derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges will be reclassified from accumulated other nonowner changes in equity to earnings during the next twelve months. The amount of discontinued cash flow hedges in the six month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was not material.

     The table below summarizes the U. S. dollar equivalent contractual amounts of Cooper’s forward exchange contracts at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

		June 30,				December 31,
		2011				2010

U.S. Dollar		$	570.5			$	894.8
Euro			380.1				335.4
British Pound Sterling			145.8				143.9
Canadian Dollar			—				370.6
Other			36.8				32.3
		$	1,133.2			$	1,777.0

     The contractual amounts of Cooper’s commodity swap contracts at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were approximately $20 million and $14 million, respectively.

Other Instruments

     In the normal course of business, Cooper executes stand-by letters of credit, performance bonds and other guarantees that ensure Cooper’s performance or payment to third parties that are not reflected in the consolidated balance sheets. The aggregate notional value of these instruments was $118.6 million and $108.7 million at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. In the past, no significant claims have been made against these financial instruments. Management believes the likelihood of demand for payment under these instruments is minimal and expects no material losses to occur in connection with these instruments.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

     Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited due to the wide variety of customers as well as their dispersion across many different geographic areas with no one customer receivable exceeding 4.8% of accounts receivable at June 30, 2011 (5.0% at December 31, 2010).

Fair Value of Financial Instruments Other than Derivatives

     Cooper’s financial instruments other than derivative instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payables and debt instruments. The book values of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, and trade payables are considered to be representative of their respective fair values. Cooper had a book value of approximately $1.43 billion and $1.43 billion for debt instruments at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The fair value of these debt instruments, as represented primarily by quoted market prices, was approximately $1.54 billion and $1.52 billion at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

Note 14. Discontinued Operations Receivable and Liability

     In October 1998 Cooper sold its Automotive Products business to Federal-Mogul Corporation (“Federal-Mogul”). These discontinued businesses (including the Abex Friction product line obtained from Pneumo-Abex Corporation (“Pneumo”) in 1994) were operated through subsidiary companies, and the stock of those subsidiaries was sold to Federal-Mogul pursuant to a Purchase and Sale Agreement dated August 17, 1998 (“1998 Agreement”). In conjunction with the sale, Federal-Mogul indemnified Cooper for certain liabilities of these subsidiary companies, including liabilities related to the Abex Friction product line and any potential liability that Cooper may have to Pneumo pursuant to a 1994 Mutual Guaranty Agreement (the “Mutual Guaranty”) between Cooper and Pneumo. On October 1, 2001, Federal-Mogul and several of its affiliates filed a Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition. The Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware confirmed Federal-Mogul’s plan of reorganization and Federal-Mogul emerged from bankruptcy in December 2007. As part of Federal-Mogul’s Plan of Reorganization, Cooper and Federal-Mogul reached a

settlement agreement that was subject to approval by the Bankruptcy Court resolving Federal-Mogul’s indemnification obligations to Cooper. On September 30, 2008, the Bankruptcy Court issued its final ruling denying Cooper’s participation in the proposed Federal-Mogul 524(g) trust resulting in Cooper implementing the previously approved Plan B Settlement, where Cooper continued to resolve through the tort system the asbestos related claims arising from the Abex Friction product line that it had sold to Federal-Mogul in 1998. As discussed further below, on February 1, 2011, Cooper entered into a settlement agreement that closed on April 5, 2011 resolving Cooper’s liability under the Mutual Guaranty with Pneumo.

     In December 2005 Cooper reached an initial agreement in negotiations with the representatives of Federal-Mogul, its bankruptcy committees and the future claimants (the “Representatives”) regarding Cooper’s participation in Federal Mogul’s proposed 524(g) asbestos trust. By participating in this trust, Cooper would have resolved its liability for asbestos claims arising from Cooper’s former Abex Friction Products business. The proposed settlement agreement was subject to court approval and certain other approvals. Future claims would have been resolved through the bankruptcy trust. While the details of the proposed settlement agreement evolved during the on-going negotiations throughout 2006 and 2007, the underlying principles of the proposed settlement arrangements being negotiated principally included fixed payments to a 524(g) trust over 25 years that were subject to reduction for insurance proceeds received in the future. Although the final determination of whether Cooper would participate in the Federal-Mogul 524(g) trust was unknown, Cooper’s management concluded that the most likely outcome in the range of potential outcomes was a settlement approximating the then current settlement proposals. Accordingly, the accrual for potential liabilities related to the Automotive Products sale and the Federal-Mogul bankruptcy during this time included estimated payments to a 524(g) trust over 25 years that were undiscounted, and included insurance recoveries where insurance in place agreements, settlements or policy recoveries were probable.

     The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware confirmed Federal-Mogul’s plan of reorganization on November 8, 2007, and the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware affirmed the Bankruptcy Court’s order on November 14, 2007. As part of its ruling, the Bankruptcy Court approved the Plan B Settlement between Cooper and Federal-Mogul, which would require payment of $138 million to Cooper in the event Cooper’s participation in the Federal-Mogul 524(g) trust was not approved for any reason, or if Cooper elected not to participate or to pursue participation in the trust. In an effort to continue working towards approval of Cooper’s participation in the trust and to address certain legal issues identified by the Court, Cooper, Pneumo-Abex, Federal-Mogul, and other plan supporters filed the Modified Plan A Settlement Documents on December 13, 2007. The Modified Plan A Settlement Documents would have required Cooper to make an initial payment of $248.5 million in cash to the Federal-Mogul trust upon implementation of Plan A with additional annual payments of up to $20 million each due over 25 years. On September 30, 2008, the Bankruptcy Court issued its ruling denying the Modified Plan A Settlement resulting in Cooper not participating in the Federal-Mogul 524(g) trust and instead proceeding with the Plan B Settlement that had previously been approved by the Bankruptcy Court. As a result of the Plan B Settlement, Cooper received the $138 million payment, plus interest of $3 million, in October 2008 from the Federal-Mogul Bankruptcy estate and continued to resolve through the tort system the asbestos related claims arising from the Abex Friction product line that it had sold to Federal-Mogul in 1998. Additionally, under Plan B, Cooper continued to have access to Abex insurance policies. As a result of the September 30, 2008 Bankruptcy Court ruling discussed above, Cooper adjusted its accounting in the third quarter of 2008 to reflect the separate assets and liabilities related to the on-going activities to resolve the potential asbestos related claims through the tort system. Cooper recorded income from discontinued operations of $16.6 million, net of a $9.4 million income tax expense, in the third quarter of 2008 to reflect the Plan B Settlement. During 2009 Cooper recognized after tax gains from discontinued operations of $25.5 million, which is net of a $16.2 million income tax expense, from negotiated insurance settlements consummated in 2009 that were not previously recognized. At December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, Cooper had a discontinued operations accrual of $747.1 million, $784.5 million and $815.1 million, respectively, and had related insurance receivables of $163.6 million, $179.3 million and $192.3 million, respectively.

     The amounts recognized by Cooper for its asbestos liability and related insurance receivables under the Plan B settlement were not discounted and relied on assumptions that were based on currently known facts and strategy. The value of the liability on a discounted basis net of the amount of insurance recoveries

likely to materialize in the future would have been significantly lower than the net amounts recognized in the balance sheet. Prior to the first quarter 2011 adjustment for the April 5, 2011 settlement agreement with Pneumo discussed below, Cooper estimated that the liability for pending and future indemnity and defense costs for the next 45 years was $736.3 million. This estimated liability was before any tax benefit and was not discounted as the timing of the actual payments on resolution of claims through the tort system was not reasonably predictable. The methodology used to project Cooper’s liability estimate relied upon a number of assumptions including Cooper’s recent claims experience and declining future asbestos spending based on past trends and publicly available epidemiological data, changes in various jurisdictions, management’s judgment about the current and future litigation environment, and the availability to claimants of other payment sources. Under the Plan B settlement, Cooper, through Pneumo-Abex LLC, had access to Abex insurance policies with remaining limits on policies with solvent insurers in excess of $660 million. Insurance recoveries reflected as receivables in the balance sheet included recoveries where insurance-in-place agreements, settlements or policy recoveries were considered probable. Prior to the first quarter 2011 adjustment for the April 5, 2011 settlement agreement with Pneumo discussed below, Cooper’s receivable for recoveries of costs from insurers amounted to $151.9 million.

     On February 1, 2011, Cooper entered into a settlement agreement that following satisfaction of various closing conditions closed on April 5, 2011. The settlement agreement terminated the Mutual Guaranty between Cooper and Pneumo and created a Settlement Trust. As a result of the settlement in April 2011 the Company and its subsidiaries have no further obligations under the Mutual Guaranty. Under the settlement agreement, a subsidiary of Cooper will make payments to the Settlement Trust totaling $307.5 million ($250 million at closing and the remainder due in installments over four years, subject to certain adjustments). Cooper made the $250 million initial payment to the Settlement Trust on April 5, 2011. Other payments due under the settlement agreement total approximately $49.6 million, after certain reductions for indemnity and defense payments made by Cooper subsequent to the February 1, 2011 settlement agreement and prior to the closing on April 5, 2011. The remaining payments are due in installments at the anniversary of the closing over the next four years as follows: $9.1 million in 2012, $17.0 million in 2013, and $11.75 million in each of 2014 and 2015.

     As discussed above, the Company had previously recorded an estimated accrual on an undiscounted basis for pending and future indemnity and defense costs under the Mutual Guaranty. In addition, the Company had recorded receivables for related insurance recoveries where insurance-in-place agreements, settlements or policy recoveries were considered probable. As a result of the settlement agreement, Cooper adjusted in the first quarter of 2011 its previously recorded net liability for its obligations under the Mutual Guaranty to the amounts payable under the settlement agreement and related unpaid legal expenses resulting in the recognition of an after-tax gain from discontinued operations of $190.3 million, which is net of a $105.6 million income tax expense. Cooper also has approximately $10.0 million in receivables for non-Abex related insurance recoveries remaining on the balance sheet at June 30, 2011 due through 2014 under previously recognized insurance settlements.

     The following table presents the cash activity related to these discontinued operations assets and liabilities through June 30, 2011.

Note 15. Subsequent Events

     In July 2011, Cooper utilized existing cash on hand to complete two acquisitions for total cash consideration of approximately $240 million, net of cash acquired. On July 15, 2011, Cooper acquired Gitiesse srl, a manufacturer of marine and oil and gas communications systems specializing in the manufacture of digital integrated multimedia communications systems for vessels worldwide. Gitiesse will become part of the Energy and Safety Solutions segment. On July 28, 2011, Cooper acquired Martek Power, a manufacturer of power electronic components specializing in the manufacture of highly specialized power management devices for the military, heavy-duty transportation, aerospace, medical, telecom and hybrid/electrical vehicle markets. Martek will become part of the Electrical Products Group segment.
