Tyco's operating strategy is to be a low-cost, high-quality producer and provider in each of the markets we serve. We promote our leadership position by investing in existing businesses and developing new markets. Although acquisitions of complementary businesses have been an important part of Tyco's growth in the past, our business strategy now focuses on enhancing internal growth and operational efficiency for existing Tyco businesses. We plan to achieve this goal through new product innovation, increased market share, increasing the service and repair components of our existing businesses and continued geographic expansion.

We are continuing to strive towards the highest standards of corporate governance so that we can earn the respect and confidence of our shareholders, employees, suppliers and customers and the financial community. | |
