                         Report of Independent Auditors


Corporate Compensation and Organization
   Committee of Eaton Corporation
Aeroquip-Vickers Savings and Profit Sharing Plan

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of the Aeroquip-Vickers Savings and Profit Sharing Plan as of December 31, 2001
and 2000, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for
benefits for the year ended December 31, 2001. 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 auditing standards generally accepted
in the 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. 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 provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at
December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the changes in its net assets available for
benefits for the year ended December 31, 2001, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial
statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedules of assets
(held at end of year) as of December 31, 2001, and reportable transactions for
the year then ended, are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are
not a required part of the financial statements but are supplementary
information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for
Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974. These supplemental schedules are the responsibility of the Plan's
management. The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in our audits of the financial statements and, in our
opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial
statements taken as a whole.

                          Year ended December 31, 2001


1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

The Aeroquip-Vickers Savings and Profit Sharing Plan (the Plan) is a defined
contribution plan. Eligible participants include all U. S. regular full-time
salaried employees and non-bargaining hourly employees of Aeroquip-Vickers, Inc.
(Company) and its subsidiaries, Aeroquip Corporation (Aeroquip) and Vickers,
Incorporated (Vickers). Eaton Corporation (Eaton) is the parent of the Company
and its subsidiaries. Effective January 1, 2000, covered employees are eligible
for participation in the Plan after one hour of service. Bargaining unit
employees are eligible to participate only if the bargaining agreement permits
participation. Interns are not eligible to participate in the Plan.

Participants may contribute to the Plan on a pretax basis by salary reduction up
to 15% of their annual compensation (in increments of 1%) subject to an annual
limit imposed by the Internal Revenue Service. Each participant individually
directs his or her contributions and the Company's contributions into the
investment funds offered by the Plan (in multiples of 1%), except for 25% of the
Company's profit sharing contribution.

The contribution receivable amount primarily consists of the profit sharing
contributions for the year. Profit sharing contributions to the Plan by the
Company are based on the level of return on net assets of the Company. These
contributions are paid to the Plan by the Company during the first quarter of
the following year.

The Company matches 50% to 100% of participant contributions not exceeding 1% to
5% of the total compensation of the participant, depending on the location and
contribution level of the participant.

A participant is entitled to the distributions provided by the contributions and
income thereon (including realized and unrealized gains and losses) allocated to
the participant's account.

Upon termination of employment due to retirement, total and permanent disability
or death, a participant or his or her spousal beneficiary will be entitled to
receive a distribution of the participant's entire account without regard to the
Plan's vesting rules: (i) in one lump sum amount; or (ii) in monthly
installments of a fixed amount or over a specified period of time in an amount
of at least $100 per month. Distribution payments to non-spousal beneficiaries
will be made in a lump sum only. If the value of a participant's account is less
than $5,000, the plan administrator will distribute the participant's entire
interest in one lump sum payment.



                                                                               4

                Aeroquip-Vickers Savings and Profit Sharing Plan

                    Notes to Financial Statements (continued)


1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (CONTINUED)

Profit sharing and matching contributions and their earnings may be withdrawn
prior to age 59-1/2 in an amount not to exceed the value of the pretax
contributions account at December 31, 1993 and only after all after-tax
contributions and their earnings have been withdrawn. Withdrawals of profit
sharing allocations and matching contributions during a participant's employment
are not permitted prior to age 59-1/2, unless the participant can show financial
hardship for which he or she has no other available resources. Such situations
are limited to: (i) certain medical expenses; (ii) payment of tuition and
related educational fees for post-secondary education for the next year; (iii)
costs related to the purchase of a principal residence; or (iv) payments
necessary to avoid eviction from, or a foreclosure on the mortgage of, the
participant's principal residence.

The Eaton Common Shares Fund is invested in Eaton Corporation Common Stock. Cash
dividends paid on shares held by the Trust are used to purchase additional
shares for participant accounts. For each participant's 2001 profit sharing
contribution made by the Company, 25% will be automatically invested in the
Eaton Common Shares Fund until distribution to the participant or until the
participant reaches age 55. Participants can also elect to have additional
amounts over the Company's 25% profit sharing contribution invested in the Eaton
Common Shares Fund.

Participants of the Plan have general purpose and home loans available. Under a
general purpose or home loan, a participant may borrow up to the lesser of
one-half of his or her vested account balance or the total of his or her pretax,
matching and roll-in contributions to the Plan, up to a maximum of $50,000. In
no event may the aggregate amount of loans exceed $50,000. All loans are repaid
to the Plan in equal installments through payroll deductions or direct payment
over a period not to exceed five years for general purpose and twenty years for
home loans. Interest is charged at the prime rate, plus 1% at the loan
origination date.

The Plan Sponsor pays certain administrative costs.

The Company reserves the right to amend, modify or terminate the Plan at any
time.

Information concerning the Plan document, matching and profit sharing
contributions and vesting is contained in the summary plan description (SPD) for
the plan. Copies of the SPD are available from the Human Resource Services
department of the Company.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

The accounting records of the Plan are maintained on the accrual basis of
accounting.

INVESTMENT VALUATION AND INCOME RECOGNITION

Investments are stated at fair value as measured by quoted prices in active
markets, except for the money market funds, which are stated at fair value as
determined by the trustee. The participant notes receivable are valued at their
outstanding balances, which approximate fair value. At December 21, 2000, the
Eaton Corporation common shares are valued at the ex-dividend price to reflect
the spin-off and stock dividend related to Axcelis Technologies, Inc. (see Note
5).

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Dividends
are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The cost of shares sold for mutual funds
and common shares is based upon the average cost of each participant's shares
sold for purposes of determining realized gains and losses.

Investment contracts consist of fully benefit-responsive insurance company and
bank investment contracts. These investment contracts are stated at contract
value. These contracts pay a negotiated fixed or variable interest rate for a
period of one to five years. At December 31, 2001 and 2000, the investment
contracts had a weighted average crediting interest rate of 5.78% and 6.25%,
respectively. The average yield on these contracts was 5.86% and 6.13% for the
years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The contract value of
these contracts approximates fair value.

Contracts are negotiated with insurance companies or financial institutions
rated AA+ by Standard and Poor's or its equivalent and have a maximum average
contract life of five years.

ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates
that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying financial statements and
notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.


                                                                               6

The Eaton Common Shares Fund contains participant account balances that are both
participant- directed and nonparticipant-directed. Because the fund contains

4. INCOME TAX STATUS

The Plan has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service
dated July 22, 1995, stating that the Plan is qualified under section 401(a) of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the Code) and, therefore, the related trust
is exempt from taxation. Subsequent to the issuance of the determination letter,
the Plan was amended. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in
conformity with the Code to maintain its qualification. The Plan Sponsor
believes the Plan is being operated in compliance with the applicable
requirements of the Code and, therefore, believes that the Plan, as amended, is
qualified and the related trust is tax exempt.

5. TRANSACTIONS WITH PARTIES-IN-INTEREST

Party-in-interest transactions include the investments in the common stock of
Eaton, the investment in the investment funds of the trustee and the payment of
administrative expenses by the Company. Such transactions are exempt from being
prohibited transactions.

During 2001, the Plan received $629,838 in common stock dividends from Eaton
Corporation.

On June 30, 2000, Eaton reorganized its semiconductor equipment operations into
a wholly owned subsidiary, Axcelis Technologies, Inc. (Axcelis). In July 2000,
Axcelis completed an initial public offering for the sale of 20% of its common
stock shares. On December 29, 2000, Eaton distributed its remaining interest in
Axcelis to Eaton shareholders as a dividend (spin-off) which was tax free to
Eaton and its shareholders for United States income tax purposes. Eaton
shareholders (including the Plan) received 1.179023 shares of Axcelis common
stock per each whole Eaton common share held as of December 6, 2000 and cash
payments for fractional shares. The Axcelis common shares were received by the
Plan on January 5, 2001.

The Plan has established an Axcelis Common Stock Fund to hold the shares of
Axcelis common stock received as a dividend, and which shall be maintained as a
fund under the Plan for a period expiring on or before December 31, 2002. Upon
termination of the Axcelis Common Stock Fund, all Axcelis common stock held by
the Plan shall be sold and invested in a money market fund. Distributions from
the Axcelis Common Stock Fund shall be made in cash. Cash and stock dividends on
the Axcelis common stock shall be invested in a money market fund and Axcelis
Common Stock Fund, respectively. Axcelis common stock received by the Plan shall
be credited under the Plan to the participant's account related to the Eaton
common shares with respect to which the Axcelis common stock was received as a
dividend. Participants are not allowed to direct contributions or transfers to
the Axcelis Common Stock Fund, but are permitted to direct the transfer of
amounts in the Axcelis Common Stock Fund to other funds available under the
Plan.

6. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company changed the type of retirement benefit plan available to employees
hired after January 1, 2002, from the current retirement plan to a "cash
balance" retirement plan, and to make such a cash balance plan available to
employees of the Company who formerly were employed by the Company or its
subsidiaries, effective as of January 1, 2002 (January 1, 2003 for employees at
the Memphis (Summa) location), except in all such cases for employees covered by
a collective bargaining agreement.

Effective April 1, 2002, the Plan merged with, and all the assets were
transferred into, the Eaton Savings Plan.
