Explanation of Responses:

* If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
** Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1) The number of underlying securities is based on the stock fund balance on 1/14/2005. The actual number of shares issuable upon the distribution date is not determinable since the stock fund is a unitized account consisting of 96% company stock and 4% money market fund. The stock account balance reflected in this report is based on an 1/14/2005 stock fund price of $61.24 per share.
(2) The phantom stock units convert to the common stock's cash value on a one-for-one basis.
(3) The phantom stock units were accrued under the Johnson Controls Restricted Stock Deferral Plan and are to be settled 100% in cash upon the vesting of the reporting person's restricted stock to which they relate.
(4) Includes 79.576 phantom stock units acquired through reinvestment of dividends on January 3, 2005 at a price of $62.79 per phantom unit.
(5) The phantom stock units were accrued under the Johnson Controls Equalization 401(k) Benefit plan and are to be settled 100% in cash upon the reporting person's retirement. The reporting person has now retired and this represents the payout of the phantom stock in this plan.
(6) Includes 23.561 phantom stock units acquired through reinvestment of dividends on January 3, 2005 at a price of $62.79 per phantom unit.
