Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)
1.   Financial Statements
    In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Johnson Controls, Inc. (the “Company”) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2009. The results of operations for the three month period ended December 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of results for the Company’s 2010 fiscal year because of seasonal and other factors.
    The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Johnson Controls, Inc. and its domestic and non-U.S subsidiaries that are consolidated in conformity with U.S. GAAP. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Investments in partially-owned affiliates are accounted for by the equity method when the Company’s interest exceeds 20% and the Company does not have a controlling interest.
    The financial results for the three month period ended December 31, 2008 include an out of period adjustment made to correct an error related to the power solutions segment. The correction of the error, which reduced segment income by $33 million in the three month period ended December 31, 2008, primarily originated in fiscal 2007 and 2008 and resulted in the overstatement of inventory and understatement of cost of sales in prior periods. The Company determined that the impact of the error on the originating periods was immaterial, and accordingly a restatement of prior period amounts was not considered necessary. The Company also determined the impact of correcting the error in fiscal 2009 was not material.
    Under certain criteria as provided for in Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 810, “Consolidation,” the Company may consolidate a partially-owned affiliate when it has less than a 50% ownership. In order to determine whether to consolidate a partially-owned affiliate when the Company has less than a 50% ownership, we first determine if the entity is a variable interest entity (VIE). An entity is considered to be a VIE if it has one of the following characteristics: 1) the entity is thinly capitalized; 2) residual equity holders do not control the entity; 3) equity holders are shielded from economic losses or do not participate fully in the entity’s residual economics; or 4) the entity was established with non-substantive voting. If the entity meets one of these characteristics, we then determine if the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The party exposed to the majority of the risks and rewards associated with the VIE is the VIE’s primary beneficiary and must consolidate the entity.
    Based upon the criteria set forth in ASC 810, the Company has determined that for the reporting periods ended December 31, 2009, September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 it was the primary beneficiary in two VIE’s in which it holds less than 50% ownership as the Company funds the entities’ short-term liquidity needs. Both entities are consolidated within the automotive experience North America segment. The Company did not have a significant variable interest in any unconsolidated VIE’s for the presented reporting periods. The carrying amounts and classification of assets and liabilities included in our consolidated statements of financial position for consolidated VIE’s are as follows (in millions):
                         
    December 31,     September 30,     December 31,  
    2009     2009     2008  
Current assets
  $ 112     $ 146     $ 125  
Noncurrent assets

  $ 210     $ 247     $ 243

2.   New Accounting Standards
 
    In December 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2009-17, “Consolidations (Topic 810): Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities.” ASU No. 2009-17 changes how a company determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting should be consolidated. The determination of whether a company is required to consolidate an entity is based on, among other things, an entity’s purpose and design and a company’s ability to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance. This statement is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 (October 1, 2010). The Company is assessing the potential impact that the adoption of ASU No. 2009-17 will have on its consolidated financial condition and results of operations.
    In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-13, “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements — a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force.” ASU No. 2009-13 establishes the accounting and reporting guidance for arrangements under which a vendor will perform multiple revenue-generating activities. Specifically, this ASU addresses how to separate deliverables and how to measure and allocate arrangement consideration to one or more units of accounting. This guidance will be effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 (October 1, 2010) and, when adopted, will change the Company’s accounting treatment for multiple-element revenue arrangements on a prospective basis.
    In December 2008, the FASB issued guidance on an employer’s disclosures about plan assets of a defined benefit pension plan. The guidance requires enhanced transparency surrounding the types of plan assets and associated risks, as well as disclosure of information about fair value measurements of plan assets. This guidance is included in ASC 715, “Compensation - Retirement Benefits,” and is effective for the Company for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2010. The adoption of this guidance will have no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition and results of operations.
    In December 2007, the FASB issued guidance changing the accounting for business combinations in a number of areas including the treatment of contingent consideration, preacquisition contingencies, transaction costs, in-process research and development and restructuring costs. In addition, under this guidance changes in an acquired entity’s deferred tax assets and uncertain tax positions after the measurement period will impact income tax expense. This guidance is included in ASC 805, “Business Combinations,” and is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 (October 1, 2009). This guidance changes the Company’s accounting treatment for business combinations on a prospective basis.
    In December 2007, the FASB issued guidance changing the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and classified as a component of equity. This new consolidation method changes the accounting for transactions with minority interest holders. This guidance is included in ASC 810, “Consolidation,” and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. This guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 (October 1, 2009). The adoption of this guidance has had no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition and results of operations. Refer to Note 14, “Equity Attributable to Johnson Controls, Inc. and Noncontrolling Interests” for further discussion.
    In September 2006, the FASB issued guidance that defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes information used in developing assumptions when pricing an asset or liability. This guidance is included in ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.” The Company adopted this guidance effective October 1, 2008. In February 2008, the FASB delayed the effective date of this guidance for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The provisions of this guidance for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities are effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 (October 1, 2009) and will be applied prospectively to fair value assessments such as the Company’s goodwill impairment analysis.

3.   Acquisition of Businesses
    During the first quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company made no acquisitions. In the first quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company completed one acquisition for a purchase price of $27 million, of which $22 million was paid as of December 31, 2008. The acquisition was not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In connection with the acquisition, the Company recorded goodwill of $24 million.
4.   Percentage-of-Completion Contracts
    The building efficiency business records certain long-term contracts under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting.

The Company records costs and earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts within accounts receivable — net and billings in excess of costs and earnings on uncompleted contracts within other current liabilities in the condensed consolidated statements of financial position. Amounts included within accounts receivable - net related to these contracts were $588 million, $579 million and $613 million at December 31, 2009, September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.

7.   Product Warranties
    The Company offers warranties to its customers depending upon the specific product and terms of the customer purchase agreement. A typical warranty program requires that the Company replace defective products within a specified time period from the date of sale. The Company records an estimate for future warranty-related costs based on actual historical return rates and other known factors. Based on analysis of return rates and other factors, the adequacy of the Company’s warranty provisions are adjusted as necessary. While the Company’s warranty costs have historically been within its calculated estimates, the Company monitors its warranty activity and adjusts its reserve estimates when it is probable that future warranty costs will be different than those estimates. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, the building efficiency North America unitary products segment increased its warranty reserve by $29 million as a result of the Company’s periodic warranty review process and analysis of return rates.
 
    The Company’s product warranty liability is recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position in other current liabilities if the warranty is less than one year and in other noncurrent liabilities if the warranty extends longer than one year.
 
    The changes in the carrying amount of the Company’s total product warranty liability for the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 were as follows (in millions):

8.   Restructuring Costs
    To better align the Company’s cost structure with global automotive market conditions, the Company committed to a restructuring plan (2009 Plan) in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 and recorded a $230 million restructuring charge. The restructuring charge relates to cost reduction initiatives in the Company’s automotive experience, building efficiency and power solutions businesses and includes workforce reductions and plant consolidations. The Company expects to substantially complete the 2009 Plan by the end of 2010. The automotive-related restructuring actions target excess manufacturing capacity resulting from lower industry production in the European, North American and Japanese automotive markets. The restructuring actions in building efficiency are primarily in Europe where the Company is centralizing certain functions and rebalancing its resources to target the geographic markets with the greatest potential growth. Power solutions actions are focused on optimizing its manufacturing capacity as a result of lower overall demand for original equipment batteries resulting from lower vehicle production levels.
 
    Since the announcement of the 2009 Plan in March 2009, the Company has experienced lower employee severance and termination benefit cash payouts than previously calculated for automotive experience – Europe of approximately $43 million, of which $15 million was identified in the quarter ended December 31, 2009, due to favorable severance negotiations and the decision to not close one of the previously planned plants in response to increased customer demand. In response to the depressed automotive industry in Europe, the Company has committed to the closure of one additional plant in Europe since the announcement of its 2009 Plan. The underspend of the initial 2009 Plan reserves will be utilized for this plant consolidation which is expected to occur in late fiscal 2010 and for additional costs to be incurred as part of power solutions and automotive experience – Europe’s original cost reduction initiatives. The planned workforce reductions disclosed for the 2009 Plan have been updated for the Company’s revised actions.
 
    The 2009 Plan includes workforce reductions of approximately 6,300 employees (2,900 for automotive experience – North America, 1,700 for automotive experience – Europe, 600 for automotive experience – Asia, 200 for building efficiency – North America, 400 for building efficiency – Europe, 200 for building efficiency – rest of world, and 300 for power solutions). Restructuring charges associated with employee severance and termination benefits are paid over the severance period granted to each employee and on a lump sum basis when required in accordance with individual severance agreements. As of December 31, 2009, approximately 5,000 of the employees have been separated from the Company pursuant to the 2009 Plan. In addition, the 2009 Plan includes 9 plant closures (3 for automotive experience – North America, 1 for automotive experience – Europe, 3 for automotive experience – Asia, 1 for building efficiency – rest of world, and 1 for power solutions). As of December 31, 2009, 6 of the 9 plants have been closed. The restructuring charge for the impairment of long-lived assets associated with the plant closures was determined using fair value based on a discounted cash flow analysis or appraisals.

    2008 and recorded a $495 million restructuring charge. The restructuring charge relates to cost reduction initiatives in its automotive experience, building efficiency and power solutions businesses and includes workforce reductions and plant consolidations. The Company expects to substantially complete the 2008 Plan in 2010. The automotive-related restructuring is in response to the fundamentals of the European and North American automotive markets. The actions target reductions in the Company’s cost base by decreasing excess manufacturing capacity due to lower industry production and the continued movement of vehicle production to low-cost countries, especially Europe. The restructuring actions in building efficiency are primarily in Europe where the Company is centralizing certain functions and rebalancing its resources to target the geographic markets with the greatest potential growth. Power solutions actions are focused on optimizing its regional manufacturing capacity.
 
    Since the announcement of the 2008 Plan in September 2008, the Company has experienced lower employee severance and termination benefit cash payouts than previously calculated for building efficiency – Europe and automotive experience – Europe of approximately $63 million, all of which was identified in fiscal 2009, due to favorable severance negotiations, individuals transferred to open positions within the Company and changes in cost reduction actions from plant consolidation to downsizing of operations. The underspend of the initial 2008 Plan will be utilized for similar restructuring actions to be performed during fiscal 2010. The underspend incurred by building efficiency – Europe will be utilized for workforce reductions and plant consolidations in building efficiency – Europe. The underspend incurred by automotive experience – Europe will be utilized for one additional plant consolidation for automotive experience – Europe. The planned workforce reductions disclosed for the 2008 Plan have been updated for the Company’s revised actions.
 
    The 2008 Plan includes workforce reductions of approximately 10,700 employees (3,700 for automotive experience – North America, 3,800 for automotive experience – Europe, 400 for building efficiency – North America, 1,500 for building efficiency –Europe, 800 for building efficiency – rest of world and 500 for power solutions). Restructuring charges associated with employee severance and termination benefits are paid over the severance period granted to each employee and on a lump sum basis when required in accordance with individual severance agreements. As of December 31, 2009, approximately 9,000 of the employees have been separated from the Company pursuant to the 2008 Plan. In addition, the 2008 Plan includes 22 plant closures (9 for automotive experience – North America, 10 for automotive experience – Europe, 1 for building efficiency – North America, and 2 for power solutions). As of December 31, 2009, 13 of the 22 plants have been closed. The restructuring charge for the impairment of long-lived assets associated with the plant closures was determined using fair value based on a discounted cash flow analysis or appraisals.

    Company management closely monitors its overall cost structure and continually analyzes each of its businesses for opportunities to consolidate current operations, improve operating efficiencies and locate facilities in low cost countries in close proximity to customers. This ongoing analysis includes a review of its manufacturing, engineering and purchasing operations, as well as the overall global footprint for all its businesses. Because of the importance of new vehicle sales by major automotive manufacturers to operations, the Company is affected by the general business conditions in this industry. Future adverse developments in the automotive industry could impact the Company’s liquidity position, lead to impairment charges and/or require additional restructuring of its operations.

9.   Research and Development
    Expenditures for research activities relating to product development and improvement are charged against income as incurred and included within selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of income. A portion of the costs associated with these activities is reimbursed by customers. Such expenditures amounted to $87 million and $97 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. These expenditures are net of customer reimbursements of $86 million and $87 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
10.   Income Taxes
    The more significant components of the Company’s income tax provision from continuing operations for the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 are as follows (in millions):
                                 
    Three Months Ended December 31,  
    2009     Tax rate     2008     Tax rate  
Income taxes at annual effective rate
  $ 67       18.0 %   $ (88 )     24.0 %
Discrete period items:
                               
Valuation allowance adjustments
    (93 )             300          
Uncertain tax positions
    31                        
Impairment charges
                  30          
 
                           
Provision for income taxes
  $ 5       1.3 %   $ 242       -66.1 %
 
                           
    Effective Tax Rate
 
    In calculating the provision for income taxes, the Company uses an estimate of the annual effective tax rate based upon the facts and circumstances known at each interim period. On a quarterly basis, the actual effective tax rate is adjusted, as appropriate, based upon changed facts and circumstances, if any, as compared to those forecasted at the beginning of the fiscal year and each interim period thereafter. In the current fiscal quarter, the Company’s estimated annual effective income tax rate of 18% is lower than the prior year rate of 24% during the three months ended December 31, 2008, primarily due to change in the geographic split of income and global tax planning initiatives.
 
    Valuation Allowance Adjustment
 
    The Company reviews its deferred tax asset valuation allowances on a quarterly basis, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that a review is required. In determining the requirement for a valuation allowance, the historical and projected financial results of the legal entity or consolidated group recording the net deferred tax asset is considered, along with any other positive or negative evidence. Since future financial results may differ from previous estimates, periodic adjustments to the Company’s valuation allowances may be necessary.
 
    In the first quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company determined that it is more likely than not that a portion of the deferred tax assets in Brazil would be utilized. Therefore, the Company released $69 million of valuation allowances. This is comprised of a $93 million decrease in income tax expense offset by a $24 million reduction in cumulative translation adjustments.
 
    In the first quarter of fiscal 2009, as a result of the rapid deterioration in the economic environment, several jurisdictions incurred unexpected losses in the first quarter that resulted in cumulative losses over the prior three years. As a result, and after considering tax planning initiatives and other positive and negative evidence, the Company determined that it was more likely than not that the deferred tax assets would not be utilized in several jurisdictions including France, Mexico, Spain and the United Kingdom. Therefore, the Company recorded a $300 million valuation allowance as income tax expense. To the extent the Company improves its underlying operating results in these jurisdictions, these valuation allowances, or a portion thereof, could be reversed in future periods.

    Impairment Charges
 
    In the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, the Company recorded a $30 million discrete period tax adjustment related to first quarter 2009 impairment costs using a blended statutory tax rate of 12.6%.
 
    Uncertain Tax Positions
 
    At September 30, 2009, the Company had gross tax effected unrecognized tax benefits of $1,049 million of which $874 million, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate. Total net accrued interest at September 30, 2009 was approximately $68 million (net of tax benefit). The net change in interest and penalties during the three months ended December 31, 2009 was $35 million, including $9 million of quarterly interest expense on existing uncertain tax positions and $26 million related to the events described below, and was not material for the same period in fiscal 2009. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense or goodwill, when applicable.
 
    As a result of certain recent events related to prior year tax planning initiatives, during the first quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company increased the reserve for uncertain tax positions by $31 million, including $26 million of interest and penalties, which impacts the effective tax rate.
 
    The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. and numerous foreign jurisdictions. Judgment is required in determining its worldwide provision for income taxes and recording the related assets and liabilities. In the ordinary course of the Company’s business, there are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Company is regularly under audit by tax authorities, including major jurisdictions noted below:

13.   Earnings Per Share
    The Company presents both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) amounts. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and common equivalent shares outstanding during the reporting period that are calculated using the treasury stock method for stock options. The treasury stock method assumes that the Company uses the proceeds from the exercise of awards to repurchase common stock at the average market price during the period. The assumed proceeds under the treasury stock method include the purchase price that the grantee will pay in the future, compensation cost for future service that the Company has not yet recognized and any windfall tax benefits that would be credited to additional paid-in capital when the award generates a tax deduction. If there would be a shortfall resulting in a charge to additional paid-in capital, such an amount would be a reduction of the proceeds.
 
    The Company’s outstanding equity units due 2042 and 6.5% convertible senior notes due 2012 are reflected in diluted earnings per share using the “if-converted” method. Under this method, if dilutive, the common stock is assumed issued as of the beginning of the reporting period and included in calculating diluted earnings per share. In addition, if dilutive, interest expense, net of tax, related to the outstanding equity units and convertible senior notes is added back to the numerator in calculating diluted earnings per share.
 
    The following table reconciles the numerators and denominators used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share (in millions):

    For the three months ended December 31, 2008, the total weighted average of potential dilutive shares due to stock options was 1.5 million. However, these options were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per common share for the three months ended December 31, 2008, since to do so would decrease the loss per share.
 
    During each of the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company declared a quarterly dividend of $0.13 per common share. The Company paid all dividends in the month subsequent to the end of each fiscal quarter.

14.   Equity Attributable to Johnson Controls, Inc. and Noncontrolling Interests
    In December 2007, the FASB issued guidance changing the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which are recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and classified as a component of equity. In addition, the guidance changes the presentation and accounting for noncontrolling interests, and requires that equity presented in the consolidated financial statements include amounts attributable to Johnson Controls, Inc. shareholders and the noncontrolling interests. This guidance is included in ASC 810, “Consolidation,” and is effective for the Company October 1, 2009.

15.   Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
    In March 2008, the FASB issued guidance enhancing required disclosures regarding derivatives and hedging activities, including how an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for and affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. This guidance is included in ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” and was effective for the Company beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 and is applied prospectively.
 
    The Company selectively uses derivative instruments to reduce market risk associated with changes in foreign currency, commodities, stock-based compensation liabilities and interest rates. Under Company policy, the use of derivatives is restricted to those intended for hedging purposes; the use of any derivative instrument for speculative purposes is strictly prohibited. A description of each type of derivative utilized by the Company to manage risk is included in the following paragraphs. In addition, refer to Note 16, “Fair Value Measurements,” for information related to the fair value measurements and valuation methods utilized by the Company for each derivative type.
 
    The Company has global operations and participates in the foreign exchange markets to minimize its risk of loss from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company primarily uses foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge certain of its foreign exchange rate exposures. The Company hedges 70% to 90% of the nominal amount of each of its known foreign exchange transactional exposures.
 
    The Company has entered into foreign currency denominated debt obligations to selectively hedge portions of its net investment in Japan. The currency effects of the debt obligations are reflected in the accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) account within shareholders’ equity attributable to Johnson Controls, Inc. where they offset gains and losses recorded on the Company’s net investment in Japan. As of December 31, 2009, the Company had 18 billion yen of foreign denominated debt outstanding designated as net investment hedges in the Company’s net investment in Japan.

    The Company uses commodity contracts in the financial derivatives market in cases where commodity price risk cannot be naturally offset or hedged through supply base fixed price contracts. Commodity risks are systematically managed pursuant to policy guidelines. As cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the hedge gains or losses due to changes in fair value are initially recorded as a component of AOCI and are subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged transactions, typically sales or costs related to sales, occur and affect earnings. Any ineffective portion of the hedge is reflected in the consolidated statement of income. The maturities of the commodity contracts coincide with the expected purchase of the commodities. As of December 31, 2009, the Company had the following outstanding commodity hedge contracts that hedge forecasted purchases:
             
        Volume Outstanding
Commodity   Units   As of December 31, 2009
Copper
  Pounds     9,030,000  
Lead
  Metric Tons     6,200  
    In addition, the Company selectively uses equity swaps to reduce market risk associated with certain of its stock-based compensation plans, such as its deferred compensation plans. These equity compensation liabilities increase as the Company’s stock price increases and decrease as the Company’s stock price decreases. In contrast, the value of the swap agreement moves in the opposite direction of these liabilities, allowing the Company to fix a portion of the liabilities at a stated amount. As of December 31, 2009, the Company had hedged approximately 3.2 million shares of its common stock.
 
    The Company selectively uses interest rate swaps to reduce market risk associated with changes in interest rates for its fixed-rate bonds. As fair value hedges, the interest rate swaps and related debt balances are valued under a market approach using publicized swap curves. Changes in the fair value of the swap and hedged portion of the debt are recorded in the consolidated statement of income. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company entered into three fixed to floating interest rate swaps totaling $700 million to hedge the coupons of its 5.25% bond maturing on January 15, 2011 ($733 million).
 
    The following table presents the location and fair values of derivative instruments and hedging activities included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of financial position at December 31, 2009 (in millions):

16.   Fair Value Measurements
    ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes information used in developing assumptions when pricing an asset or liability as follows:
      Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
 
      Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
 
      Level 3: Unobservable inputs where there is little or no market data, which requires the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
    ASC 820 requires the use of observable market data, when available, in making fair value measurements. When inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
    Recurring Fair Value Measurements
 
    The following table presents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a quarterly basis as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 (in millions):

Valuation Methods
Foreign currency exchange derivatives — The Company selectively hedges anticipated transactions that are subject to foreign exchange rate risk primarily using foreign currency exchange hedge contracts. The foreign currency exchange derivatives are valued under a market approach using publicized spot and forward prices. As cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the hedge gains or losses due to changes in fair value are initially recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income and are subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged transactions occur and affect earnings. Any ineffective portion of the hedge is reflected in the consolidated statement of income. These contracts are highly effective in hedging the variability in future cash flows attributable to changes in currency exchange rates at December 31, 2009 and 2008.
Commodity derivatives — The Company selectively hedges anticipated transactions that are subject to commodity price risk, primarily using commodity hedge contracts, to minimize overall price risk associated with the Company’s purchases of lead, copper and polypropylene. The commodity derivatives are valued under a market approach using publicized prices, where available, or dealer quotes. As cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the hedge gains or losses due to changes in fair value are initially recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income and are subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged transactions, typically sales or cost related to sales, occur and affect earnings. Any ineffective portion of the hedge is reflected in the consolidated statement of income. These contracts are highly effective in hedging the variability in future cash flows attributable to changes in commodity price changes at December 31, 2009 and 2008.
Interest rate swaps and related debt — The Company selectively uses interest rate swaps to reduce market risk associated with changes in interest rates for its fixed-rate bonds. As fair value hedges, the interest rate swaps and related debt balances are valued under a market approach using publicized swap curves. Changes in the fair value of the swap and hedged portion of the debt are recorded in the consolidated statement of income. At December 31, 2009, the Company has three fixed to floating interest rate swaps totaling $700 million to hedge the coupons of its 5.25% bond maturing on January 15, 2011 ($733 million). At December 31, 2008, the Company had two fixed to floating interest rate swaps totaling $450 million to hedge the coupons of its 7.125% bond maturing on July 15, 2017 ($150 million) and 4.875% bond maturing on September 15, 2013 ($300 million). The Company settled interest rate swaps hedging $450 million of debt in the second quarter of fiscal 2009.
Equity swap — The Company selectively uses equity swaps to reduce market risk associated with certain of its stock-based compensation plans, such as its deferred compensation plans. The equity swaps are valued under a market approach as the fair value of the swaps is equal to the Company’s stock price at the reporting period date. Changes in fair value on the equity swaps are reflected in the consolidated statement of income within selling, general and administrative expenses.
Foreign currency denominated debt — The Company has entered into certain foreign currency denominated debt obligations to selectively hedge portions of its net investment in Japan. The currency effects of the debt obligations are reflected in the foreign currency translation adjustments component of accumulated other

comprehensive income where they offset gains and losses recorded on the Company’s net investment in Japan. The Company also has certain foreign currency denominated debt obligations not designated as net investment hedges, and the currency effects of the related debt obligations are reflected in the consolidated statement of income. The Company’s foreign denominated debt obligations are valued under a market approach using publicized spot prices.
Cross-currency interest rate swap — The Company selectively uses cross-currency interest rate swaps to hedge the foreign currency rate risk associated with certain of its foreign currency denominated debt obligations. The cross-currency interest rate swap is valued using market assumptions. The currency effects of the swap and related debt obligation are reflected in the consolidated statement of income and the change in value of the swap and debt obligation offset. The Company settled its cross-currency interest rate swap in the second quarter of fiscal 2009.
The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, short-term debt and accounts payable approximate their carrying values. The fair value of long-term debt, which was $3.2 billion and $3.4 billion at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, was determined using market quotes.
17.   Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset’s carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company conducts its long-lived asset impairment analyses in accordance with ASC 360-10-15, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” ASC 360-10-15 requires the Company to group assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities and evaluate the asset group against the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows. If the undiscounted cash flows do not indicate the carrying amount of the asset group is recoverable, an impairment charge is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds its fair value based on discounted cash flow analysis or appraisals. At December 31, 2009, the Company concluded it did not have any triggering events requiring assessment of impairment of its long-lived assets.
At December 31, 2008, in conjunction with the preparation of its financial statements, the Company concluded it had a triggering event requiring assessment of impairment of its long-lived assets due to the significant declines in North American and European automotive sales volumes. As a result, the Company reviewed its long-lived assets for impairment and recorded a $110 million impairment charge within cost of sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2009, of which $77 million related to the North America automotive experience segment and $33 million related to the Europe automotive experience segment.
The Company reviews its equity investments for impairment whenever there is a loss in value of an investment which is other than a temporary decline. The Company conducts its equity investment impairment analyses in accordance with ASC 323, “Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures.” ASC 323 requires the Company to record an impairment charge for a decrease in value of an investment when the decline in the investment is considered to be other than temporary.
At December 31, 2008, in conjunction with the preparation of its financial statements, the Company concluded it had a triggering event requiring assessment of impairment of its equity investment in a 48%-owned joint venture with U.S. Airconditioning Distributors, Inc. (U.S. Air) due to the significant decline in North American residential housing construction starts, which had significantly impacted the financial results of the equity investment. The Company reviewed its equity investment in U.S. Air for impairment and as a result, recorded a $152 million impairment charge within equity income (loss) for the building efficiency North America unitary products segment in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The U.S. Air investment balance included in the condensed consolidated statement of financial position at December 31, 2009 was $57 million. The Company does not anticipate future impairment of this investment as, based on its current forecasts, a further decline in value that is other than temporary is not considered reasonably likely to occur.
18.   Segment Information
ASC 280, “Segment Reporting,” establishes the standards for reporting information about segments in financial statements. In applying the criteria set forth in ASC 280, the Company has determined that it has ten

19.   Commitments and Contingencies
The Company accrues for potential environmental losses in a manner consistent with U.S. GAAP; that is, when it is probable a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable. The Company reviews the status of its environmental sites on a quarterly basis and adjusts its reserves accordingly. Such potential liabilities accrued by the Company do not take into consideration possible recoveries of future insurance proceeds. They do, however, take into account the likely share other parties will bear at remediation sites. It is difficult to estimate the Company’s ultimate level of liability at many remediation sites due to the large number of other parties that may be involved, the complexity of determining the relative liability among those parties, the uncertainty as to the nature and scope of the investigations and remediation to be conducted, the uncertainty in the application of law and risk assessment, the various choices and costs associated with

diverse technologies that may be used in corrective actions at the sites, and the often quite lengthy periods over which eventual remediation may occur. Nevertheless, the Company has no reason to believe at the present time that any claims, penalties or costs in connection with known environmental matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
The Company is involved in a number of product liability and various other suits incident to the operation of its businesses. Insurance coverages are maintained and estimated costs are recorded for claims and suits of this nature. It is management’s opinion that none of these will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Costs related to such matters were not material to the periods presented.
20.   Subsequent Events
ASC 855, “Subsequent Events,” requires disclosure of the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated, as well as whether the date is the date the financial statements were issued or the date the financial statements were available to be issued. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through February 3, 2010, the date the financial statements were issued. No significant subsequent events have occurred through this date requiring adjustment to the financial statements or disclosures.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
of Johnson Controls, Inc.
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of financial position of Johnson Controls, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of income and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three-month periods ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.
We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated statement of financial position as of September 30, 2009, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated November 24, 2009 we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. An explanatory paragraph was included in our report for the adoption of guidance included in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 740, “Income Taxes,” prescribing how a company should recognize, measure, present, and discloses uncertain tax positions. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of financial position as of September 30, 2009, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the consolidated statement of financial position from which it has been derived.

The following information should be read in conjunction with the September 30, 2009 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, along with management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations included in the Company’s 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K. References in the following discussion and analysis to “Three Months” refer to the three months ended December 31, 2009, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2008.
Outlook
On January 22, 2010, the Company updated its fiscal 2010 guidance previously issued on October 13, 2009. The Company expects fiscal 2010 net sales to increase to $33 billion (compared to previously issued guidance of $31 billion), which would represent a 16% increase from prior year net sales, based on anticipated higher vehicle production in North America, increased power solutions aftermarket volumes and year over year growth in building efficiency later in fiscal 2010. Building efficiency segment margins are expected to be 5.6% — 5.8%, consistent with previously issued guidance. Automotive experience segment margins are expected to increase to 2.0% — 2.2%, and power solutions segment margins are expected to increase to 11.8% — 12.0%. Earnings are expected to increase to approximately $1.70 — $1.75 per diluted share (compared to previously issued guidance of $1.35 — $1.45 per diluted share), which is higher than fiscal 2009, primarily based on profitable conversion of increased net sales.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company believes its capital resources and liquidity position at December 31, 2009, are adequate to meet projected needs. The Company believes requirements for working capital, capital expenditures, dividends, minimum pension contributions, debt maturities and any potential acquisitions in fiscal 2010 will continue to be funded from operations, supplemented by short- and long-term borrowings, if required. The Company currently manages its short-term debt position in the U.S. and euro commercial paper markets and bank loan markets. The Company continues to adjust its commercial paper maturities and issuance levels given market reactions to industry events and changes in the Company’s credit rating. In the event the Company is unable to issue commercial paper, it would have the ability to draw on its $2.05 billion revolving credit facility, which extends until December 2011. The Company does not have any significant debt maturities until fiscal 2011. As such, the Company believes it has sufficient financial resources to fund operations and meet its obligations for the foreseeable future.
The Company’s debt financial covenants require a minimum consolidated shareholders’ equity attributable to Johnson Controls, Inc. of at least $1.31 billion at all times and allow a maximum aggregated amount of 10% of consolidated shareholders’ equity attributable to Johnson Controls, Inc. for liens and pledges. For purposes of calculating the Company’s covenants, consolidated shareholders’ equity attributable to Johnson Controls, Inc. is calculated without giving effect to (i) the application of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 715-60, “Defined Benefit Plans - Other Postretirement,” or (ii) the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment. As of December 31, 2009, consolidated shareholders’ equity attributable to Johnson Controls, Inc. as defined per the Company’s debt financial covenants was $8.8 billion and there were no outstanding amounts for liens and pledges. The Company expects to remain in compliance with all covenants and other requirements set forth in its credit agreements and indentures for the foreseeable future. None of the Company’s debt agreements limit access to stated borrowing levels or require accelerated repayment in the event of a decrease in the Company’s credit rating.
The key financial assumptions used in calculating the pension liability are determined annually, or whenever plan assets and liabilities are re-measured as required under accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., including the expected rate of return on our plan assets. The Company’s most recent actuarial valuation utilized an expected rate of return of 8.5% and 6.0% for U.S. and non-U.S. plans, respectively. Any differences between actual results and the expected long-term asset returns will be reflected in other comprehensive income and amortized to pension expense in future years. The Company expects to contribute approximately $245 million in cash to its defined benefit pension plans in fiscal 2010.

    Segment income increased primarily due to higher sales volumes ($54 million), the favorable impact of foreign currency translation ($2 million) and favorable net lead and other commodity costs net of pricing ($90 million), which includes a prior year $33 million out of period adjustment as discussed in Note 1, “Financial Statements,” to the financial statements. Partially offsetting these factors were higher selling, general and administrative costs ($7 million).
Restructuring Costs
To better align the Company’s cost structure with global automotive market conditions, the Company committed to a restructuring plan (2009 Plan) in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 and recorded a $230 million restructuring charge. The restructuring charge relates to cost reduction initiatives in the Company’s automotive experience, building efficiency and power solutions businesses and includes workforce reductions and plant consolidations. The Company expects to substantially complete the 2009 Plan by the end of 2010. The automotive-related restructuring actions target excess manufacturing capacity resulting from lower industry production in the European, North American and Japanese automotive markets. The restructuring actions in building efficiency are primarily in Europe where the Company is centralizing certain functions and rebalancing its resources to target the geographic markets with the greatest potential growth. Power solutions actions are focused on optimizing its manufacturing capacity as a result of lower overall demand for original equipment batteries resulting from lower vehicle production levels.
Since the announcement of the 2009 Plan in March 2009, the Company has experienced lower employee severance and termination benefit cash payouts than previously calculated for automotive experience – Europe of approximately $43 million, of which $15 million was identified in the quarter ended December 31, 2009, due to favorable severance negotiations and the decision to not close one of the previously planned plants in response to customer demand. In response to the depressed automotive industry in Europe, the Company has committed to the consolidation of one additional plant in Europe since the announcement of its 2009 Plan. The underspend of the initial 2009 Plan reserves will be utilized for this plant consolidation which is expected to occur in late fiscal 2010 and for additional costs to be incurred as part of power solutions and automotive experience – Europe’s original cost reduction initiatives. The planned workforce reductions disclosed for the 2009 Plan have been updated for the Company’s revised actions.

Table of Contents

The 2009 Plan includes workforce reductions of approximately 6,300 employees (2,900 for automotive experience – North America, 1,700 for automotive experience – Europe, 600 for automotive experience – Asia, 200 for building efficiency — North America, 400 for building efficiency – Europe, 200 for building efficiency –rest of world, and 300 for power solutions). Restructuring charges associated with employee severance and termination benefits are paid over the severance period granted to each employee and on a lump sum basis when required in accordance with individual severance agreements. As of December 31, 2009, approximately 5,000 of the employees have been separated from the Company pursuant to the 2009 Plan. In addition, the 2009 Plan includes 9 plant closures (3 for automotive experience – North America, 1 for automotive experience – Europe, 3 for automotive experience – Asia, 1 for building efficiency – rest of world, and 1 for power solutions). As of December 31, 2009, 6 of the 9 plants have been closed. The restructuring charge for the impairment of long-lived assets associated with the plant closures was determined using fair value based on a discounted cash flow analysis or appraisals.
To better align the Company’s resources with its growth strategies while reducing the cost structure of its global operations, the Company committed to a restructuring plan (2008 Plan) in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 and recorded a $495 million restructuring charge. The restructuring charge relates to cost reduction initiatives in its automotive experience, building efficiency and power solutions businesses and includes workforce reductions and plant consolidations. The Company expects to substantially complete the 2008 Plan in 2010. The automotive-related restructuring is in response to the fundamentals of the European and North American automotive markets. The actions target reductions in the Company’s cost base by decreasing excess manufacturing capacity due to lower industry production and the continued movement of vehicle production to low-cost countries, especially Europe. The restructuring actions in building efficiency are primarily in Europe where the Company is centralizing certain functions and rebalancing its resources to target the geographic markets with the greatest potential growth. Power solutions actions are focused on optimizing its regional manufacturing capacity.
Since the announcement of the 2008 Plan in September 2008, the Company has experienced lower employee severance and termination benefit cash payouts than previously calculated for building efficiency – Europe and automotive experience – Europe of approximately $63 million, all of which was identified in fiscal 2009, due to favorable severance negotiations, individuals transferred to open positions within the Company and changes in cost reduction actions from plant consolidation to downsizing of operations. The underspend of the initial 2008 Plan will be utilized for similar restructuring actions to be performed during fiscal 2010. The underspend incurred by building efficiency – Europe will be utilized for workforce reductions and plant consolidations in building efficiency – Europe. The underspend incurred by automotive experience – Europe will be utilized for one additional plant consolidation for automotive experience – Europe. The planned workforce reductions disclosed for the 2008 Plan have been updated for the Company’s revised actions.
The 2008 Plan includes workforce reductions of approximately 10,700 employees (3,700 for automotive experience – North America, 3,800 for automotive experience – Europe, 400 for building efficiency – North America, 1,500 for building efficiency –Europe, 800 for building efficiency – rest of world and 500 for power solutions). Restructuring charges associated with employee severance and termination benefits are paid over the severance period granted to each employee and on a lump sum basis when required in accordance with individual severance agreements. As of December 31, 2009, approximately 9,000 of the employees have been separated from the Company pursuant to the 2008 Plan. In addition, the 2008 Plan includes 22 plant closures (9 for automotive experience – North America, 10 for automotive experience – Europe, 1 for building efficiency – North America, and 2 for power solutions). As of December 31, 2009, 13 of the 22 plants have been closed. The restructuring charge for the impairment of long-lived assets associated with the plant closures was determined using fair value based on a discounted cash flow analysis or appraisals.

    In calculating the provision for income taxes, the Company uses an estimate of the annual effective tax rate based upon the facts and circumstances known at each interim period. On a quarterly basis, the annual effective tax rate is adjusted, as appropriate, based upon changed facts and circumstances, if any, as compared to those forecasted at the beginning of the fiscal year and each interim period thereafter.
    In the current fiscal quarter, the Company’s estimated annual effective income tax rate for continuing operations decreased from 24% in the prior year to 18%, primarily due to change in geographic split of income and global tax planning initiatives.
    In the first quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company determined that it is more likely than not that a portion of the deferred tax assets in Brazil would be utilized. Therefore, the Company released $69 million of valuation allowances. This is comprised of a $93 million decrease in income tax expense offset by a $24 million reduction in cumulative translation adjustments.
    As a result of certain recent events related to prior year tax planning initiatives, during the first quarter of fiscal 2010, the company increased the reserve for uncertain tax positions by $31 million, including $26 million of interest and penalties, which impacts the effective tax rate.

Backlog
Building efficiency’s backlog relates to its control systems and service activity. At December 31, 2009, the unearned backlog was $4.3 billion, or an 8% decrease compared to December 31, 2008. Excluding the positive impact of foreign currency, the backlog was lower by 10% at December 31, 2009 compared to December 31, 2008. The North America backlog was comparable to prior year levels, while there was a decline in Europe and the Middle East.

    The Company defines working capital as current assets less current liabilities, excluding cash, short-term debt, the current portion of long-term debt and net assets of discontinued operations. Management believes that this measure of working capital, which excludes financing-related items and discontinued activities, provides a more useful measurement of the Company’s operating performance.
    The decrease in working capital as compared to September 30, 2009 was primarily due to lower accounts receivable from improved collections and higher accounts payable due to increased purchasing activity and the timing of supplier payments, partially offset by higher inventory levels to support higher sales and a decrease in restructuring reserves. Compared to December 31, 2008, the decrease was primarily due to lower inventories based on increased turnover and higher accounts payable due to increased purchasing activity and the timing of supplier payments, partially offset by higher accounts receivable from higher sales and a decrease in restructuring reserves.
    The Company’s days sales in accounts receivable (DSO) for the three months ended December 31, 2009 were 54, lower than 58 and 62 for the comparable periods ended September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. The decrease in accounts receivable compared to September 30, 2009 was primarily due to improved collections. The increase in accounts receivable compared to December 31, 2008 was primarily due to higher sales volumes in the current first quarter as compared to the same quarter in the prior year. There has been no significant adverse change in the level of overdue receivables or material changes in revenue recognition methods.
    The Company’s inventory turns for the three months ended December 31, 2009 were slightly lower than the period ended September 30, 2009 primarily due to higher inventory production to meet increased demand. Inventory turns were higher compared to December 31, 2008, primarily due to increased sales volumes and improvements in inventory management.
    Days payable at December 31, 2009 decreased to 68 days from 72 days at September 30, 2009 and 69 days at December 31, 2008 primarily due to the timing of supplier payments.

    The decrease in cash used by investing activities for the three months ended December 31, 2009 was primarily due to lower capital expenditures, lower long-term investments and no acquisitions in the current quarter.
    The increase in cash used by financing activities for the three months ended December 31, 2009 was primarily the result of debt repayments in the current quarter.
    The decrease in capital expenditures for the three months ended December 31, 2009 was primarily due to the timing of payments for investments made within the automotive experience business.
Deferred Taxes
The Company reviews its deferred tax asset valuation allowances on a quarterly basis. In determining the potential need for a valuation allowance, the historical and projected financial results of the legal entity or consolidated group recording the net deferred tax asset is considered, along with any other positive or negative evidence. Since future financial results may differ from previous estimates, periodic adjustments to the Company’s valuation allowances may be necessary.
The Company has certain subsidiaries, mainly located in Brazil, France, Italy, Mexico, Spain, United Kingdom and the United States, which have generated operating and/or capital losses and, in certain circumstances, have limited loss carry forward periods. In accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” the Company is required to record a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not the Company will not utilize deductible amounts or net operating losses for each legal entity or consolidated group based on the tax rules in the applicable jurisdiction, evaluating both positive and negative historical evidences as well as expected future events and tax planning strategies.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company determined that it is more likely than not that a portion of the deferred tax assets in Brazil would be utilized. Therefore, the Company released $69 million of valuation allowances. This is comprised of a $93 million decrease in income tax expense offset by a $24 million reduction in cumulative translation adjustments.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company performed an analysis of its worldwide deferred tax assets. As a result of the rapid deterioration in the economic environment, several jurisdictions incurred unexpected losses in the first quarter that resulted in cumulative losses over the prior three years. As a result, and after considering tax planning initiatives and other positive and negative evidence, the Company determined that it was more likely than not that the deferred tax assets would not be utilized in several jurisdictions including France, Mexico, Spain and the United Kingdom. Therefore, the Company recorded $300 million of valuation allowances as income tax expense. To the extent the Company improves its underlying operating results in these jurisdictions, these valuation allowances, or a portion thereof, could be reversed in future periods.

Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset’s carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company conducts its long-lived asset impairment analyses in accordance with ASC 360-10-15, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” ASC 360-10-15 requires the Company to group assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities and evaluate the asset group against the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows. If the undiscounted cash flows do not indicate the carrying amount of the asset group is recoverable, an impairment charge is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds its fair value based on discounted cash flow analysis or appraisals. At December 31, 2009, the Company concluded it did not have any triggering events requiring assessment of impairment of its long-lived assets.
At December 31, 2008, in conjunction with the preparation of its financial statements, the Company concluded it had a triggering event requiring assessment of impairment of its long-lived assets due to the significant declines in North American and European automotive sales volumes. As a result, the Company reviewed its long-lived assets for impairment and recorded a $110 million impairment charge within cost of sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2009, of which $77 million related to the North America automotive experience segment and $33 million related to the Europe automotive experience segment.
The Company reviews its equity investments for impairment whenever there is a loss in value of an investment which is other than a temporary decline. The Company conducts its equity investment impairment analyses in accordance with ASC 323, “Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures.” ASC 323 requires the Company to record an impairment charge for a decrease in value of an investment when the decline in the investment is considered to be other than temporary.
At December 31, 2008, in conjunction with the preparation of its financial statements, the Company concluded it had a triggering event requiring assessment of impairment of its equity investment in a 48%-owned joint venture with U.S. Airconditioning Distributors, Inc. (U.S. Air) due to the significant decline in North American residential housing construction starts, which had significantly impacted the financial results of the equity investment. The Company reviewed its equity investment in U.S. Air for impairment and as a result, recorded a $152 million impairment charge within equity income (loss) for its North America unitary products segment in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The U.S. Air investment balance included in the condensed consolidated statement of financial position at December 31, 2009 was $57 million. The Company does not anticipate future impairment of this investment as, based on its current forecasts, a further decline in value that is other than temporary is not considered reasonably likely to occur.
Goodwill reflects the cost of an acquisition in excess of the fair values assigned to identifiable net assets acquired. The Company reviews goodwill for impairment during the fourth fiscal quarter or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the asset might be impaired. The Company performs impairment reviews for its reporting units, which have been determined to be the Company’s reportable segments, using a fair-value method based on management’s judgments and assumptions or third party valuations. The fair value represents the amount at which a reporting unit could be bought or sold in a current transaction between willing parties on an arms-length basis. In estimating the fair value, the Company uses multiples of earnings based on the average of historical, published multiples of earnings of comparable entities with similar operations and economic characteristics. In certain instances, the Company uses discounted cash flow analyses to further support the fair value estimates. The estimated fair value is then compared with the carrying amount of the reporting unit, including recorded goodwill. The Company is subject to financial statement risk to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value. At December 31, 2009, the Company concluded it did not have any triggering events requiring assessment of impairment of goodwill.

    In fiscal 2008, the Company entered into new committed, revolving credit facilities totaling 350 million euro with 100 million euro expiring in May 2009, 150 million euro expiring in May 2011 and 100 million euro expiring in August 2011. In May 2009 the 100 million euro revolving facility expired and the Company entered into a new one year committed, revolving credit facility in the amount of 50 million euro expiring in May 2010. At December 31, 2009, there were no draws on the revolving credit facilities.
    In January 2009, the Company retired its 24 billion yen, three year, floating rate loan agreement that matured. The Company used proceeds from commercial paper issuances to repay the loan agreement.
    In February 2009, the Company entered into a $50 million, three year, floating rate bilateral loan agreement. The Company drew the entire amount under the loan agreement during the course of the second quarter of fiscal 2009. Also during the second quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company retired approximately $54 million in principal amount of its $800 million fixed rate bonds that mature in January 2011. The Company used proceeds from the $50 million floating rate loan agreement to retire the bonds. The Company retired the loan during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009.
    In March 2009, the Company closed concurrent public offerings. The Company issued $402.5 million aggregate amount of 6.5% senior, unsecured, fixed rate convertible notes that mature September 30, 2012. The notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion rate of 89.3855 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes, which is equal to a conversion price of approximately $11.19 per share, subject to anti-dilution adjustments. The Company also issued nine million Equity Units (the “Equity Units”) each of which has a stated amount of $50 in an aggregate principal amount of $450 million. The Equity Units consist of (i) a forward purchase contract obligating the holder to purchase from the Company for a price in cash of $50, on the purchase contract settlement date of March 31, 2012, subject to early settlement, a certain number of shares of the Company’s common stock and (ii) a 1/20, or 5%, undivided beneficial ownership interest in $1,000 principal amount of the Company’s 11.5% subordinated notes due 2042.
    In September 2009, the Company settled the results of its previously announced offer to exchange (a) any and all of its outstanding 6.5% convertible senior notes due 2012 for the following consideration per $1,000 principal amount of convertible senior notes: (i) 89.3855 shares of the Company’s common stock, (ii) a cash payment of $120 and (iii) accrued and unpaid interest on the convertible senior notes to, but excluding, the settlement date, payable in cash. Upon settlement of the exchange offer, approximately $400 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes were exchanged for approximately 36 million shares of common stock and approximately $61 million in cash ($48 million of debt conversion payments and $13 million of accrued interest on the convertible senior notes). As a result of the exchange, the Company recognized approximately $57 million of debt conversion expenses within its consolidated statement of income which is comprised of $48 million of debt conversion costs on the exchange and a $9 million charge related to the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs.
    In September 2009, the Company settled the results of its previously announced offer to exchange up to 8,550,000 of its nine million outstanding Equity Units in the form of Corporate Units (the “Corporate Units”) comprised of a purchase contract obligating the holder to purchase from the Company shares of its common stock and a 1/20, or 5%, undivided beneficial ownership interest in $1,000 principal amount of the Company’s 11.50% subordinated notes due 2042, for the following consideration per Corporate Unit: (i) 4.8579 shares of the Company’s common stock, (ii) a cash payment of $6.50 and (iii) a distribution consisting of the pro rata share of accrued and unpaid interest on the subordinated notes to, but excluding, the settlement date, payable in cash. Upon settlement of the exchange offer

Table of Contents

      approximately 8,082,085 Corporate Units (consisting of $404 million aggregate principal amount of outstanding 11.50% subordinated notes due 2042) were exchanged for approximately 39 million shares of common stock and approximately $65 million in cash ($52 million of debt conversion payments and $13 million of accrued interest payments on the subordinated notes). As a result of the exchange, the Company recognized approximately $54 million of debt conversion expenses within its consolidated statement of income which is comprised of $53 million of debt conversion costs on the exchange and a $1 million charge related to the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs.
    In November 2009, the Company repurchased 670 bonds ($670,000 par value) of its 6.5% convertible notes maturing September 30, 2012. The Company used cash to fund the repurchase.
    In December 2009, the Company repurchased an additional 1,015 bonds ($1,015,000 par value) of its 6.5% convertible notes maturing September 30, 2012. The Company used cash to fund the repurchase.
    In December 2009, the Company retired its 7 billion yen, three year, floating rate loan agreement that was scheduled to mature on January 18, 2011. The Company used cash to repay the note.
    In December 2009, the Company retired its 12 billion yen, three year, floating rate loan agreement that matured. The Company used cash to repay the note.
    In December 2009 the Company retired approximately $13 million in principal amount of its $746 million fixed rate bonds that was scheduled to mature on January 15, 2011. The Company used cash to fund the repurchase.
    The Company also selectively makes use of short-term credit lines. The Company estimates that, as of December 31, 2009, it could borrow up to $2.0 billion at its current debt ratings on committed and uncommitted credit lines.
    The Company believes its capital resources and liquidity position at December 31, 2009, are adequate to meet projected needs. The Company believes requirements for working capital, capital expenditures, dividends, minimum pension contributions, debt maturities and any potential acquisitions in fiscal 2010 will continue to be funded from operations, supplemented by short- and long-term borrowings, if required. The Company currently manages its short-term debt position in the U.S. and euro commercial paper markets and bank loan markets. In the event the Company is unable to issue commercial paper, it would have the ability to draw on its $2.05 billion revolving credit facility, which extends until December 2011. There were no draws on the revolving credit facility as of December 31, 2009. The Company does not have any significant debt maturities until fiscal 2011. As such, the Company believes it has sufficient financial resources to fund operations and meet its obligations for the foreseeable future.
    The Company’s debt financial covenants require a minimum consolidated shareholders’ equity attributable to Johnson Controls, Inc. of at least $1.31 billion at all times and allow a maximum aggregated amount of 10% of consolidated shareholders’ equity attributable to Johnson Controls, Inc. for liens and pledges. For purposes of calculating the Company’s covenants, consolidated shareholders’ equity attributable to Johnson Controls, Inc. is calculated without giving effect to (i) the application of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) ASC 715-60, “Defined Benefit Plans- Other Postretirement,” or (ii) the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment. As of December 31, 2009, consolidated shareholders’ equity attributable to Johnson Controls, Inc. as defined per our covenants was $8.8 billion and there were no outstanding amounts for liens and pledges. The Company expects to remain in compliance with all covenants and other requirements set forth in its credit agreements and indentures for the foreseeable future. None of the Company’s debt agreements limit access to stated borrowing levels or require accelerated repayment in the event of a decrease in the Company’s credit rating.

New Accounting Standards
In December 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2009-17, “Consolidations (Topic 810): Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities.” ASU No. 2009-17 changes how a company determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting should be consolidated. The determination of whether a company is required to consolidate an entity is based on, among other things, an entity’s purpose and design and a company’s ability to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance. This statement is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 (October 1, 2010). The Company is assessing the potential impact that the adoption of ASU No. 2009-17 will have on its consolidated financial condition and results of operations.
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-13, “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements – a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force.” ASU No. 2009-13 establishes the accounting and reporting guidance for arrangements under which a vendor will perform multiple revenue-generating activities. Specifically, this ASU addresses how to separate deliverables and how to measure and allocate arrangement consideration to one or more units of accounting. This guidance will be effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 (October 1, 2010) and, when adopted, will change the Company’s accounting treatment for multiple-element revenue arrangements on a prospective basis.
In December 2008, the FASB issued guidance on an employer’s disclosures about plan assets of a defined benefit pension plan. The guidance requires enhanced transparency surrounding the types of plan assets and associated risks, as well as disclosure of information about fair value measurements of plan assets. This guidance is included in ASC 715, “Compensation – Retirement Benefits,” and is effective for the Company for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2010. The adoption of this guidance will have no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition and results of operations.
In December 2007, the FASB issued guidance changing the accounting for business combinations in a number of areas including the treatment of contingent consideration, preacquisition contingencies, transaction costs, in-process research and development and restructuring costs. In addition, under this guidance changes in an acquired entity’s deferred tax assets and uncertain tax positions after the measurement period will impact income tax expense. This guidance is included in ASC 805, “Business Combinations,” and is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 (October 1, 2009). This guidance changes the Company’s accounting treatment for business combinations on a prospective basis.
In December 2007, the FASB issued guidance changing the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and classified as a component of equity. This new consolidation method changes the accounting for transactions with minority interest holders. This guidance is included in ASC 810, “Consolidation,” and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. This guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 (October 1, 2009). The adoption of this guidance has had no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition and results of operations. Refer to Note 14, “Equity Attributable to Johnson Controls, Inc. and Noncontrolling Interests” for further discussion.
In September 2006, the FASB issued guidance that defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes information used in developing assumptions when pricing an asset or liability. This guidance is included in ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.” The Company adopted this guidance effective October 1, 2008. In February 2008, the FASB delayed the effective date of this guidance for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The provisions of this guidance for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities are effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 (October 1, 2009) and will be applied prospectively to fair value assessments such as the Company’s goodwill impairment analysis.

Accordingly, you should restrict your reliance on their reports on such information. PwC is not subject to the liability provisions of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 for their reports on the interim financial information because such reports do not constitute “reports” or “parts” of the registration statements prepared or certified by PwC within the meaning of Sections 7 and 11 of the Securities Act of 1933.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As of December 31, 2009, the Company had not experienced any adverse changes in market risk exposures that materially affected the quantitative and qualitative disclosures presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2009.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act). Based upon their evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2009 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no significant changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended December 31, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
As noted in Item 1 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2009, which was filed with the SEC on November 24, 2009, liabilities potentially arise globally under various environmental laws and worker safety laws for activities that are not in compliance with such laws and for the cleanup of sites where Company-related substances have been released into the environment.
Currently, the Company is responding to allegations that it is responsible for performing environmental remediation, or for the repayment of costs spent by governmental entities or others performing remediation, at approximately 44 sites in the United States. Many of these sites are landfills used by the Company in the past for the disposal of waste materials; others are secondary lead smelters and lead recycling sites where the Company returned lead-containing materials for recycling; a few involve the cleanup of Company manufacturing facilities; and the remaining fall into miscellaneous categories. The Company may face similar claims of liability at additional sites in the future. Where potential liabilities are alleged, the Company pursues a course of action intended to mitigate them.
The Company accrues for potential environmental losses in a manner consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States; that is, when it is probable a loss has been incurred and the amount of the

40


Table of Contents

loss is reasonably estimable. The Company reviews the status of its environmental sites on a quarterly basis and adjusts its reserves accordingly. Such potential liabilities accrued by the Company do not take into consideration possible recoveries of future insurance proceeds. They do, however, take into account the likely share other parties will bear at remediation sites. It is difficult to estimate the Company’s ultimate level of liability at many remediation sites due to the large number of other parties that may be involved, the complexity of determining the relative liability among those parties, the uncertainty as to the nature and scope of the investigations and remediation to be conducted, the uncertainty in the application of law and risk assessment, the various choices and costs associated with diverse technologies that may be used in corrective actions at the sites, and the often quite lengthy periods over which eventual remediation may occur. Nevertheless, the Company has no reason to believe at the present time that any claims, penalties or costs in connection with known environmental matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
The Company is involved in a number of product liability and various other lawsuits incident to the operation of its businesses. Insurance coverages are maintained and estimated costs are recorded for claims and lawsuits of this nature. It is management’s opinion that none of these will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Costs related to such matters were not material to the periods presented.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
There have been no material changes to the disclosure regarding risk factors presented in Item 1A to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2009.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
In September 2006, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program to acquire up to $200 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock. Stock repurchases under this program may be made through open market, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise at times and in such amounts as Company management deems appropriate. The stock repurchase program does not have an expiration date and may be amended or terminated by the Board of Directors at any time without prior notice.
The Company entered into an Equity Swap Agreement, dated March 18, 2004 and amended March 3, 2006 and May 16, 2006, with Citibank, N.A. (Citibank). The Company settled the Equity Swap Agreement at the beginning of the second quarter of fiscal 2009. The Company entered into a new Swap Agreement, dated March 13, 2009 (Swap Agreement), at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2009. The Company selectively uses equity swaps to reduce market risk associated with its stock-based compensation plans, such as its deferred compensation plans. These equity compensation liabilities increase as the Company’s stock price increases and decrease as the Company’s stock price decreases. In contrast, the value of the Swap Agreement moves in the opposite direction of these liabilities, allowing the Company to fix a portion of the liabilities at a stated amount.
In connection with the Swap Agreement, Citibank may purchase unlimited shares of the Company’s stock in the market or in privately negotiated transactions. The Company disclaims that Citibank is an “affiliated purchaser” of the Company as such term is defined in Rule 10b-18(a)(3) under the Securities Exchange Act or that Citibank is purchasing any shares for the Company. The Swap Agreement has no stated expiration date. The net effect of the change in fair value of the Swap Agreement and the change in equity compensation liabilities was not material to the Company’s earnings for the three months ended December 31, 2009.
The following table presents information regarding the repurchase of the Company’s common stock by the Company as part of the publicly announced program and purchases of the Company’s common stock by Citibank in connection with the Swap Agreement during the three months ended December 31, 2009.
