What is the primary driver of the significant increase in revenue and assets?

The primary driver of the significant increase in revenue and assets is Tyco International Ltd.'s active acquisition strategy. The company completed several major acquisitions during the quarter, including Mallinckrodt Inc. and CIGI Investment Group, Inc., which substantially boosted sales and led to a large increase in goodwill and other intangible assets on the balance sheet.

How has the company funded its recent acquisitions?

The company funded its recent acquisitions through a combination of debt issuance, proceeds from the sale of businesses, and cash flows from operations. Long-term debt increased significantly, with notable issuances of zero-coupon convertible senior debentures and the assumption of debt from acquired companies.

What is the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 133 on the company's financial statements?

The adoption of SFAS No. 133, 'Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,' resulted in a cumulative effect of accounting change, recognized as a $29.7 million after-tax loss in the quarter. This adjustment reflects the fair value reporting of derivative instruments and hedging activities.

How is the company managing its debt levels?

The company has increased its long-term debt to finance its aggressive acquisition strategy. While debt levels have risen, the company has also taken steps to manage its liquidity, such as replacing revolving credit facilities with new ones and increasing its commercial paper program borrowing capacity. The ratio of total debt to total capitalization increased to 42.8% at December 31, 2000.
