Income tax provisions for interim periods are based on estimated effective annual income tax rates. Income tax expense varies from the normal U.S. statutory tax rate primarily because of state taxes and variations in the tax rates on foreign source income. While a portion of the annual tax provisions will be deferred income taxes, it is not practicable to determine the amount or composition of deferred income taxes for interim periods. Income taxes paid, net of refunds received, amounted to $31.7 and $62.9 for the third quarters of 1999 and 1998, and $253.5 and $225.4 for the first nine months of 1999 and 1998, respectively. Income taxes paid increased in 1999 due to additional estimated income tax payments, primarily during the first quarter.

(4)

Dividends per share of common stock were $0.29 and $0.28 for the third quarters of 1999 and 1998 and $0.87 and $0.84 for the first nine months of 1999 and 1998, respectively.

Litton Litigation.

On March 13, 1990, Litton Systems, Inc. filed a legal action against Honeywell in U.S. District Court, Central District of California, Los Angeles (the "trial court") with claims that were subsequently split into two separate cases. One alleges patent infringement under federal law for using an ion-beam process to coat mirrors incorporated in Honeywell's ring laser gyroscopes, and tortious interference under state law for interfering with Litton's prospective advantage with customers and contractual relationships with an inventor and his company, Ojai Research, Inc. The other case alleges monopolization and attempted monopolization under federal antitrust laws by Honeywell in the sale of inertial reference systems containing ring laser gyroscopes into the commercial aircraft market. Honeywell generally denied Litton's allegations in both cases. In the patent/tort case, Honeywell also contested the validity as well as the infringement of the patent, alleging, among other things, that the patent had been obtained by Litton's inequitable conduct before the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

Patent/Tort Case

U.S. District Court Judge Mariana Pfaelzer presided over a three month patent infringement and tortious interference trial in 1993. On August 31, 1993 a jury returned a verdict in favor of Litton, awarding damages against Honeywell in the amount of $1.2 billion on three claims. Honeywell filed post-trial motions contesting the verdict and damage award. On January 9, 1995, the trial court set them all aside, ruling, among other things, that the Litton patent was invalid due to obviousness, unenforceable because of Litton's inequitable conduct before the Patent and Trademark Office, and in any case, not infringed by Honeywell's current process. It further ruled that Litton's state tort claims were not supported by sufficient evidence. The trial court also held that if its rulings concerning liability were vacated or reversed on appeal, Honeywell should at least be granted a new trial on the issue of damages because the jury's award was inconsistent with the clear weight of the evidence and based upon a speculative damage study.

The trial court's rulings were appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (the "Federal Circuit"), and on July 3, 1996, in a two to one split decision, a three judge panel of that court reversed the trial court's rulings of patent invalidity, unenforceability and non-infringement, and also found Honeywell to have violated California law by intentionally interfering with Litton's consultant contracts and customer prospects. However, the panel upheld two trial court rulings favorable to Honeywell, namely that Honeywell was entitled to a new trial for damages on all claims, and also to a grant of intervening patent rights which are to be defined and quantified by the trial court. After unsuccessfully requesting a rehearing of the panel's decision by the full Federal Circuit appellate court, Honeywell filed a petition with the U.S. Supreme Court on November 26, 1996, seeking review of the panel's decision. In the interim, Litton filed a motion and briefs with the trial court seeking injunctive relief against Honeywell's commercial ring laser gyroscope sales. After Honeywell and certain aircraft manufacturers filed briefs and made oral arguments opposing the injunction, the trial court denied Litton's motion on public interest grounds on December 23, 1996, and then scheduled the patent/tort damages retrial for May 6, 1997.

On March 17, 1997, the U.S. Supreme Court granted Honeywell's petition for review and vacated the July 3, 1996, Federal Circuit panel decision. The case was remanded to the Federal Circuit panel for reconsideration in light of a recent decision by the U.S. Supreme Court in the Warner-Jenkinson vs. Hilton Davis case, which refined the law concerning patent infringement under the doctrine of equivalents. On March 21, 1997, Litton filed a notice of appeal to the Federal Circuit of the trial court's December 23, 1996 decision to deny injunctive relief, but the Federal Circuit stayed any briefing or consideration of that matter until such time as it completed its reconsideration of liability issues ordered by the U.S. Supreme Court.

The liability issues were argued before the same three judge Federal Circuit panel on September 30, 1997. On April 7, 1998, the panel issued its decision:

(i)

affirming the trial court's ruling that Honeywell's hollow cathode and RF ion-beam processes do not literally infringe the asserted claims of Litton's '849 reissue patent ("Litton's patent");

(ii)

vacating the trial court's ruling that Honeywell's RF ion-beam process does not infringe the asserted claims of Litton's patent under the doctrine of equivalents, but also vacating the jury's verdict on that issue and remanding that issue to the trial court for further proceedings in accordance with theWarner-Jenkinson decision;



(iii)

vacating the jury's verdict that Honeywell's hollow cathode process infringes the asserted claims of Litton's patent under the doctrine of equivalents and remanding that issue to the trial court for further proceedings;



(iv)

reversing the trial court's ruling with respect to the torts of intentional interference with contractual relations and intentional interference with prospective economic advantage, but also vacating the jury's verdict on that issue, and remanding the issue to the trial court for further proceedings in accordance with California state law;



(v)

affirming the trial court's grant of a new trial to Honeywell on damages for all claims, if necessary;



(vi)

affirming the trial court's order granting intervening rights to Honeywell in the patent claim;



(vii)

reversing the trial court's ruling that the asserted claims of Litton's patent were invalid due to obviousness and reinstating the jury's verdict on that issue; and



(viii)

reversing the trial court's determination that Litton had obtained its '849 reissue patent through inequitable conduct.




Litton's request for a rehearing of the panel's decision by the full Federal Circuit court was denied and its appeal of the denial of an injunction was dismissed. The case was remanded to the trial court for further legal and perhaps factual review. The parties filed motions with the trial court to dispose of the remanded issues as matters of law, which were argued before the trial court on July 26, 1999. On September 23, 1999, the trial court issued dispositive rulings in the case, granting Honeywell's Motion for Judgment as a Matter of Law and Summary Judgment on the Patent claims on various grounds; granting Honeywell's Motion for Judgment as a Matter of Law on the State Law Claims on the grounds of insufficient evidence; and denying Litton's Motion for Partial Summary Judgment. Honeywell expects that Litton will appeal the trial court's rulings.

When preparing for the patent/tort damages retrial that was scheduled for May 1997, Litton had submitted a revised damage study to the trial court, seeking damages as high as $1.9 billion. Honeywell believes that its ion-beam processes do not infringe Litton's patent, and further, that Litton's damage study remains flawed and speculative for a number of reasons. Honeywell expects that the trial court's latest rulings in the case will eventually be affirmed since they are consistent with the Federal Circuit's most recent opinions in this case and others which deal with alleged patent infringement under the doctrine of equivalence, and since, absent any patent infringement, Litton has not proven any tortious Honeywell behavior which interfered with its contracts or business prospects. Honeywell also believes that it is reasonably possible that no damages will ultimately be awarded to Litton.

Although is not possible at this time to predict the outcome of any further appeals in this case, some potential does remain for adverse judgments which could be material to Honeywell's financial position or results of operations. Honeywell believes however, that any potential award of damages for an adverse judgment of infringement or interference should be based upon a reasonable royalty reflecting the value of the ion-beam coating process, and further that such an award would not be material to Honeywell's financial position or results of operations. As a result of the uncertainty regarding the outcome of this matter, no provision has been made in the financial statements with respect to this contingent liability.

Antitrust Case

Preparations for, and conduct of, the trial in the antitrust case have generally followed the completion of comparable proceedings in the patent/tort case. The antitrust trial did not begin until November 20, 1995. Judge Pfaelzer also presided over the trial, but it was held before a different jury. At the close of evidence and before jury deliberations began, the trial court dismissed, for failure of proof, Litton's contentions that Honeywell had illegally monopolized and attempted to monopolize by:

(i)

engaging in below-cost predatory pricing;



(ii)

tying and bundling product offerings under packaged pricing;



(iii)

misrepresenting its products and disparaging Litton products; and



(iv)

acquiring the Sperry Avionics business in 1986.




On February 2, 1996, the case was submitted to the jury on the remaining allegations that Honeywell had illegally monopolized and attempted to monopolize by:

(i)

entering into certain long-term exclusive dealing and penalty arrangements with aircraft manufacturers and airlines to exclude Litton from the commercial aircraft market, and



(ii)

failing to provide Litton with access to proprietary software used in the cockpits of certain business jets.




On February 29, 1996, the jury returned a $234 million single damages verdict against Honeywell for illegal monopolization, which verdict would have been automatically trebled. On March 1, 1996, the jury indicated that it was unable to reach a verdict on damages for the attempt to monopolize claim, and a mistrial was declared as to that claim.

Honeywell subsequently filed a motion for judgment as a matter of law and a motion for a new trial, contending, among other things, that the jury's partial verdict should be overturned because Honeywell was prejudiced at trial, and Litton failed to prove essential elements of liability or submit competent evidence to support its speculative, all-or-nothing $298.5 million damage claim. Litton filed motions for entry of judgment and injunctive relief. On July 24, 1996, the trial court denied Honeywell's alternative motions for judgment as a matter of law or a complete new trial, but concluded that Litton's damage study was seriously flawed and granted Honeywell a retrial on damages only. The court also denied Litton's two motions. At that time, Judge Pfaelzer was expected to conduct the retrial of antitrust damages sometime following the retrial of patent/tort damages. However, after the U.S. Supreme Court remanded the patent/tort case to the Federal Circuit in March 1997, Litton moved to have the trial court expeditiously schedule the antitrust damages retrial. In September 1997, the trial court rejected that motion, indicating that it wished to know the outcome of the current patent/tort appeal before scheduling retrials of any type.

Following the April 7, 1998 Federal Circuit panel decision in the patent/tort case, Litton again petitioned the trial court to schedule the retrial of antitrust damages. The trial court tentatively scheduled the trial to commence in the fourth quarter of 1998, and reopened limited discovery and other pretrial preparations. Litton then filed another antitrust damage claim of nearly $300 million.

The damages only retrial began October 29, 1998, before Judge Pfaelzer, but a different jury. On December 9, 1998, the jury returned verdicts against Honeywell totaling $250 million, $220 million of which is in favor of Litton Systems Inc. and $30 million of which is in favor of its sister corporation LSL, Canada.

On January 27, 1999, the court vacated its prior mistrial ruling with respect to the attempt to monopolize claim and entered a treble damages judgment in the total amount of $750 million for actual and attempted monopolization. Honeywell filed appropriate post-judgment motions with the trial court and Litton filed motions seeking to add substantial attorney's fees and costs to the judgment. A hearing on the post-judgment motions was held before the trial court on May 20, 1999. On September 24, 1999, the trial court issued rulings denying Honeywell's Motion for Judgment as a Matter of Law and Motion for New Trial and Remittitur as they related to Litton Systems Inc., but granting Honeywell's Motion for Judgment as a Matter of Law as it relates to Litton Systems, Canada, Limited. The net effect of these rulings should be the eventual reduction of the existing judgment against Honeywell of $750 million to $660 million, plus reasonable attorney fees and costs, the amount of which is currently being contested by the parties. The parties have the right to appeal the eventual judgment, as to both liability and damages, to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. Execution of the trial court's judgment will be stayed pending resolution of Honeywell's post-judgment motions and the disposition of any appeals filed by the parties.

Honeywell expects to obtain substantial relief from the current adverse judgment in the antitrust case by an appeal to the Ninth Circuit, based upon sound substantive and procedural legal grounds. Honeywell believes that there was no factual or legal basis for the magnitude of the jury's award in the damages retrial and that, as was the case in the first trial, the jury's award should be overturned. Honeywell also believes there are serious questions concerning the identity and nature of the business arrangements and conduct which were found by the first antitrust jury in 1996 to be anti-competitive and damaging to Litton, and the verdict of liability should be overturned as a matter of law.

Although is not possible at this time to predict the outcome of any eventual appeals in this case, some potential remains for adverse judgments which could be material to Honeywell's financial position or results of operations. As a result of the uncertainty regarding the outcome of this matter, no provision has been made in the financial statements with respect to this contingent liability. Honeywell also believes that it would be inappropriate for Litton to obtain recovery of the same damages, e.g. losses it suffered due to Honeywell's sales of ring laser gyroscope-based inertial systems to OEMs and airline customers, under multiple legal theories, claims, and cases, and that eventually any duplicative recovery would be eliminated from the antitrust and patent/tort cases.

In the fall of 1996, Litton and Honeywell commenced a court ordered mediation of the patent, tort and antitrust claims. No claim was resolved or settled, and the mediation is currently in recess.

As of October 3, 1999, Honeywell had reserved 10,061,561 shares of common stock for the issuance of shares in connection with stock option and stock bonus plans.

(8)

In 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position (SOP) 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use," which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998. Honeywell elected to adopt this SOP effective January 1, 1998. The accounting change has a positive impact on Income and is included in both 1998 and 1999's results for comparative purposes.

(9)

In 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position (SOP) 98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities," which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998. This SOP requires that companies expense start-up costs and organizational costs as they are incurred. Honeywell has adopted this SOP effective January 1, 1999, and the impact on results of operations and financial position was immaterial.

(10)

In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," which was adopted by Honeywell beginning January 1, 1998. SFAS No. 130 requires the reporting of comprehensive income and its components in the general purpose financial statements. This Statement also requires that an entity classify items of other comprehensive income by their nature in an annual financial statement. Honeywell's total comprehensive income for the quarter is as follows:

	Third Quarter Ended				Nine Months Ended
	1999		1998		1999			1998
Net income	$	166.6	$	145.4	$	412.4		$	367.5
Foreign currency translation adjustments		41.9		28.2		(19.0	)		(10.8	)
Total comprehensive income	$	208.5	$	173.6	$	393.4		$	356.7

(11)

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" which is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. SFAS 133 requires companies to record derivatives on the balance sheet as assets or liabilities, measured at fair value. Gains or losses resulting from changes in the values of those derivatives would be accounted for depending on the use of the derivative and whether it qualifies for hedge accounting. Honeywell is currently reviewing the standard and its effect on the financial statements.

(12)

The amounts set forth in this quarterly report are unaudited but, in the opinion of the registrant, include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the nine month periods ended October 3, 1999 and October 4, 1998, respectively. Honeywell's accounting policies are further described in the notes to financial statements in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998.

(13) On June 4, 1999, AlliedSignal Inc. ("AlliedSignal") and Honeywell Inc. entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), pursuant to which each outstanding share of Honeywell common stock ("Honeywell Common Stock") will be converted into the right to receive 1.875 shares of common stock of AlliedSignal (the "AlliedSignal Common Stock"). When the merger is effective, Honeywell will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of AlliedSignal. At the end of the third quarter of 1999, based on approximately 128 million Honeywell shares outstanding and AlliedSignal's stock price, the transaction is valued at approximately $14 billion and is expected to be accounted for as a pooling of interests. The new company will have annual revenues of about $25 billion and will assume approximately $1.5 billion of Honeywell debt. The merger, which was approved by Honeywell and AlliedSignal's shareowners on September 1, 1999, is subject to regulatory approvals. During the third quarter Honeywell reached an agreement in principal with the U.S. Department of Justice for clearance of the proposed transaction with AlliedSignal, subject to final entry of a consent decree. The companies continue to focus on obtaining clearance from the European Commission. The merger is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 1999. The Merger Agreement provides for payment of termination fees of up to $350  million under certain circumstances.

In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, AlliedSignal and Honeywell entered into (i) a Stock Option Agreement pursuant to which AlliedSignal granted Honeywell an option (the "Honeywell Option") to purchase up to approximately 19.9% of the outstanding shares of AlliedSignal Common Stock (after giving effect to the Honeywell Option) exercisable in the circumstances specified therein, and (ii) a Stock Option Agreement pursuant to which Honeywell granted AlliedSignal an option (the "AlliedSignal Option") to purchase up to approximately 19.9% of the outstanding shares of Honeywell Common Stock (after giving effect to the AlliedSignal Option) exercisable in the circumstances specified therein.

For further information regarding the merger, see the Joint Proxy Statement-Prospectus dated July 23, 1999, of AlliedSignal Inc. and Honeywell Inc. as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 29, 1999.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Results of Operations

Net income in the third quarter of 1999 was $166.6 million, up 15 percent from $145.4 million in the third quarter of 1998. Earnings per diluted share were $1.28 for the quarter, up 12 percent from $1.14 cents in third quarter of 1998. During the quarter, one-time repositioning charges of $30.7 million were offset by one-time gains of $28.0 million. Included in the one-time gains was a gain on the sale of an asset that reduced general corporate expense by $11.2 million.

Sales in the third quarter were $2.20 billion, up 4 percent, compared with $2.12 billion a year earlier. Operating profit for the third quarter of 1999 was $285.1 million, compared with $275.0 million in the third quarter of 1998. Total orders for the third quarter were up 2 percent over the third quarter of 1998.

Third Quarter Business Unit Results

Space and Aviation Control.  Operating profit was $97.5 million, compared to $94.2 million a year earlier. Profits increased 4 percent, with operating margins improving from 15.5 percent to 15.7 percent. Space and Aviation Control's profit growth resulted from a favorable shift in revenue mix toward business and regional jets and reduced research and development expenditures.

Sales for Space and Aviation Control grew 2 percent to $619.4 million, compared with $609.4 million in the third quarter of 1998. The increase in sales resulted from growth in avionics deliveries for business and regional jets, partly offset by a slight decline in the large commercial jet markets. For the quarter, orders increased 3 percent, from strong performance in the Space Systems and Military businesses offset by a decline in Commercial Avionics. Commercial Avionics orders were down due to the expected cyclical downturn in aircraft deliveries, and also due to slower ordering from Boeing as a result of reductions in inventory driven by their new supply chain management programs.

During the quarter, Space and Aviation had a number of strategic contract wins. Space Systems recorded approximately $100 million government avionics contract and Military Avionics won a C-5 transport aircraft contract to retrofit display systems worth $37 million. The two major orders won this year for C-5 transport aircraft cockpit upgrades position Honeywell well for success in upcoming upgrade programs for the KC10, KC135, C130, E6 and C27J aircraft. In the aggregate, these upgrade programs involve over 1,100 aircraft. Including recent contract wins, Space & Aviation's business and regional aircraft business has won contracts that account for the avionics systems on 60-65% of the business and regional jets to be delivered in the next 5 years.

Home and Building Control.  Operating profit for the business was $119.3 million compared with $101.9 million last year, a 17 percent increase. Home and Building Control's products, and solutions and services operating profits were up significantly in the quarter as a result of cost control, improved efficiency, higher volumes and restructuring benefits. During the quarter, Home and Building Control recorded repositioning charges of $13.1 million, offset by gains of $11.5 million on the sale of a discontinued business.

Sales for Home and Building Control were $940.3 million compared to $895.7 million in the third quarter of 1998. The 5 percent growth in Home and Building Control's sales was driven by solid growth in control products, building services and security, offset by declines in consumer products and solutions businesses. Orders for the quarter increased 3 percent, with double-digit growth in building services and solid growth in control products, offset by declines in consumer products and solutions.

In mid-September, Honeywell closed the acquisition of C&K Systems. C&K, with annual revenues of approximately $100M, is a global player in residential and commercial security products with distribution in 61 countries and a low cost manufacturing facility in China. C&K has developed state-of-the-art spread spectrum RF (radio-frequency) wireless communication technology which is a key element in developing low cost asset tracking capabilities. The acquisition is expected to be immediately accretive to earnings and will contribute revenue for the full fourth quarter.

Throughout the quarter, Home & Building Products made key announcements regarding Home Vision, our strategy to expand the penetration of control technology in the home through the introduction of a complete line of internet enabled communicating control devices and aggressive leveraging of an e-business based marketing and distribution model. By the end of the third quarter, Honeywell successfully introduced the "Your Home Expert" Web site and the Honeywell Home Controller. "Your Home Expert" is a Web-based resource designed to make customized recommendations for improving a consumer's home environment, then put the consumer in contact with a qualified installer. The site is already attracting about 4,000 visitors per day, which is indicative of the interest consumers have to increase the comfort, security, and convenience of their homes. The company also introduced the Honeywell Home Controller—the first of a series of Web-based, communicating products designed to integrate control of and maximize performance of home devices. We will continuously expand this product line with the next wave of product announcements occurring in early 2000.

Industrial Control.  Operating profit for Industrial Control was $64.9 million for the quarter compared with $77.4 million a year earlier. Double-digit profit growth was posted for sensing and control, but offset by declines in industrial automation and control. The industrial profit decrease was primarily the result of an unfavorable mix of project revenues and price competition in weak end markets, including pulp and paper, and refining, where substantial industry consolidation has slowed capital spending. Recognizing this increasingly competitive environment, the Honeywell Measurex worldwide sales and operating organization will be merged into Industrial Control's existing global infrastructure. Industrial Control recorded repositioning charges of $17.6 million in the third quarter, offset by one-time gains of $5.3 million on the sale of a discontinued business. Most of these restructuring actions were completed in the third quarter, providing benefits in that quarter which will continue into the fourth quarter.

Industrial Control sales in the third quarter were $619.2 million, compared with $591.4 million last year. Industrial Control revenue increased 5 percent as a result of the revenues from our HiSpec advanced software solutions business, the PlantScape hybrid automation business, and TotalPlant Management Program project revenues and acquisitions. Industrial Control orders increased 2 percent during the quarter compared to last year. The increase was driven by double-digit growth in sensing and control, offset by a decline in industrial automation and control's businesses.

Throughout the quarter, Industrial Control continued to lead a shift in the industry toward greater levels of software and service intensity and less reliance on system hardware through growth in HiSpec and other services, the outsourcing of TotalPlant Solution System hardware manufacturing, and the use of commercially available hardware as in the PlantScape platform. Industrial Control is also successfully entering new markets with approximately one-half of PlantScape sales coming from new vertical markets and significant moves into e-business that are both lowering costs and expanding market opportunities. As process industry end-markets improve, we expect these changes to enhance Industrial Control's competitive position and financial performance.

Nine Month Summary

In the first nine months of 1999 Honeywell's net income was $412.4 million, up 12 percent from $367.5 million a year earlier. Sales were $ 6.32 billion, compared with $6.08 billion last year. Earnings per diluted share were $3.20, up 11 percent from $2.87 in the first nine months of 1998.

Space and Aviation Control.  Operating Profits generated by Space and Aviation Control increased 11 percent to $269.7 from $243.2 for the first nine months of the prior year, driven by a shift in favorable revenue mix towards business and regional jet markets and reduced research and development expenditures. Orders were down 5 percent, and revenue grew to $1.82 billion, up 4 percent from $1.75 billion a year earlier.

Home and Building Control.  Operating profits for the first nine months of 1999 increased 18 percent to $267.8 million from $227.8 million a year earlier, as a result of increases in the control products and building services businesses. Sales were $2.60 billion compared to $2.46 billion last year. Year to date orders were up 9 percent, primarily in the products business, from a year earlier.

Industrial Control.  Operating profits were $197.7 million, down 11 percent for the first nine months of 1999 compared to $222.3 million a year earlier. The profit decrease was driven by the industrial automation and control business, offset by substantial improvements in the sensing and control business. Year to date, orders were up 4 percent, and revenue was $1.85 billion, up slightly from $1.81 billion in the first nine months of 1998.

Proposed Merger

On June 4, 1999, Honeywell and AlliedSignal Inc. entered into a merger agreement. Under the terms of the merger agreement, each share of Honeywell common stock will be exchanged for 1.875 shares of AlliedSignal Inc. common stock. At the end of the third quarter of 1999, based on approximately 128 million Honeywell shares outstanding and AlliedSignal's stock price, the transaction is valued at approximately $14 billion and is expected to be accounted for as a pooling of interests. The new company will have annual revenues of about $25 billion and will assume approximately $1.5 billion of Honeywell debt. The merger, which was approved by Honeywell and AlliedSignal's shareowners on September 1, 1999, is subject to regulatory approvals. During the third quarter Honeywell reached an agreement in principal with the U.S. Department of Justice for clearance of the proposed transaction with AlliedSignal, subject to final entry of a consent decree. The companies continue to focus on obtaining clearance from the European Commission. The merger is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 1999. The merger agreement provides for payment of termination fees of up to $350 million under certain circumstances.

Honeywell and AlliedSignal Inc. also have entered into option agreements pursuant to which, under certain circumstances, AlliedSignal Inc. may purchase approximately 19.9% of Honeywell's outstanding common stock for $109.453 per share and Honeywell may purchase approximately 19.9% of AlliedSignal Inc.'s outstanding common stock for $58.375 per share. Please refer to Note (13) to the Financial Statements set forth in Item 1 of Part I of this report as well as the Joint Proxy Statement-Prospectus dated July 23, 1999, of Allied Signal Inc. and Honeywell Inc. filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 29, 1999, for further information regarding this matter.

Year 2000 Readiness Disclosures

Background

Computer programs which were written using two digits (rather than four) to define the applicable year may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This is generally referred to as the "year 2000 issue," which may affect the performance of computer programs, hardware, software and other products with embedded computer technology that is date sensitive. Unless corrective action is taken to ensure that such items are "year 2000 ready," which means that they will be able to process dates and times in such a manner that their technical and functional requirements will continue to be met without interruption for the year 2000, they may generate erroneous data or cause systems, equipment or other products to fail.

Honeywell's Year 2000 Program

In the fourth quarter of 1995, Honeywell initiated a program to determine whether or not its business systems, operations and products are year 2000 ready. This program addresses the company's information technology systems and other systems with embedded computer technology; products provided to customers; products purchased from suppliers; and most recently, the year 2000 readiness of its significant customers.

Product Readiness

Substantially all of Honeywell's current products have been evaluated or tested internally to ascertain if they are year 2000 ready. Over 99 percent of these products are year 2000 ready and the remainder will be repaired prior to the end of the year. In some areas of its businesses, Honeywell is conducting external integration tests of year 2000 ready products in existing customer systems to verify that they are compatible with such systems.

Certain older products that are still in use by Honeywell customers and subject to warranties or service contracts, may not be year 2000 ready. Honeywell has formally communicated with distributors and direct customers to make them aware of any potential problems that may result from the use of such products and encouraging them to modify or replace same, or is providing warranty or contract service as appropriate. For older products which are not year 2000 ready, and were sold through distributors or are no longer under warranty or service contracts, various means are being employed to raise the awareness of any potential year 2000 problems, including advertising and contracting with external service providers to help identify current owners.

Honeywell has found a few new year 2000 issues with products previously identified as ready, however these issues have been resolved and none of them are considered to be materially significant. Where possible, customers have been notified directly of any issues and the information has been posted on Honeywell's web sites.

Supplier Readiness

Honeywell has sent questionnaires to substantially all suppliers who furnish products or services to the company, to ascertain whether products or services supplied are year 2000 ready, as well as the effect the year 2000 issue may have on their ability to continue supplying same. Approximately 3000 suppliers have been identified by the company as critical to its business and the various business units are investigating a greater number to verify that critical supplier products or services will be year 2000 ready. Various methods have been used to validate supplier readiness, including symposiums, site visits and telephone interviews. The verification process was completed during the third quarter of 1999 and contingency plans will be implemented for critical suppliers identified to be at risk, as appropriate.

Internal Systems Readiness

In 1993, prior to the commencement of the Honeywell year 2000 program, the company implemented a program to upgrade most of its key information technology (IT) systems to common applications software packages, with completion scheduled prior to the year 2000. Recent revisions of these packages are marketed as year 2000 ready, however, Honeywell has decided it is necessary to validate that is true in our environment. Honeywell has repaired and tested critical business systems and these have been shown to be Year 2000 ready. Integration testing of software packages has been ongoing and some activity in this area is likely through the end of the year. The remainder of Honeywell's business systems which are considered to have a financial or operational impact on its businesses, are expected to be year 2000 ready by the end of 1999.

The company has assessed the status of its critical non-IT systems and has made repairs or upgrades to these systems as necessary. Efforts will be completed by the end of 1999 for non-critical systems which are considered to have a financial or operational impact on its businesses. Honeywell does not expect the costs associated with the remediation of non-IT systems to be material, and such costs are included in the amounts forecasted for contingencies in 1999 as discussed below under the caption "Costs."

Customer Readiness

Honeywell has evaluated the year 2000 readiness of its most significant customers, based on volume of business, and is considering the effect, if any, that the year 2000 issue may have on their requirements for Honeywell's products and services. Honeywell does not foresee any significant problems in this area, though no assurance can be given that all information from customers regarding their readiness and plans is accurate.

Risks/Contingency Plans

Honeywell's products are used in a wide variety of control applications including, but not limited to, industrial processing control systems, home and building products and automation control systems, and space and aviation control systems. In a most likely worst case scenario, if Honeywell's products are not year 2000 ready, a control application could be disrupted, which could affect the ability of the system in which it is installed to function properly, depending on other safeguards. Similarly, if customers are unable to conduct adequate integration testing of Honeywell's year 2000 ready products within their equipment or systems, they could experience temporary equipment or systems failure if compatibility problems arise. While the company does not expect any worst case scenario to occur, it is working closely with customers of critical systems to advise them of potential problems and the need to complete systems integration testing.

If a critical supplier cannot supply products or services to Honeywell that are year 2000 ready, or if the supplier is adversely affected by the year 2000 issue, that source of supply could be interrupted. This could affect the ability of Honeywell to supply other products or services, or disrupt a business operation which is dependent thereon. Furthermore, if a year 2000 issue affecting a component is not detected by a supplier, it could affect the performance of the product or system of which it becomes a part and possibly cause one or more of the scenarios discussed above to occur. To reduce the risk of such occurrences, Honeywell is taking steps to verify the year 2000 readiness of all critical suppliers as discussed above under the caption "Supplier Readiness." In addition, each of Honeywell's business units is developing contingency plans to identify substitute materials, services and alternate suppliers.

Honeywell expects that all of its internal applications systems that are considered to have a financial or operational impact on its businesses will be year 2000 ready by the end of 1999. The strategy to replace order management systems in some European countries was not completely executed, and contingency plans have been implemented to avoid problems in processing customer orders in countries where the new system was not implemented.

Honeywell acquires other companies from time to time as part of its business development strategy, and it anticipates that acquisitions will continue through the year 2000. In the course of conducting due diligence investigations of acquisition candidates, Honeywell endeavors to ascertain whether or not their products or services, or those of their critical suppliers, are year 2000 ready, and whether or not such suppliers and key customers, if any, will be adversely affected by the year 2000 issue. While acquisition candidates may provide certain information or make representations and warranties regarding year 2000 readiness, in some cases, Honeywell may be unable to verify same until the acquisition is completed and the steps outlined herein as part of Honeywell's year 2000 program are undertaken.

Costs

Honeywell estimates that historical and future costs associated with its year 2000 program will not exceed $60 million for fiscal years 1995 through 1999. Approximately $20 million in costs have been incurred in fiscal year 1998, and $30 million has been forecasted for the 1999 fiscal year to cover additional costs and contingencies. Funding for the 1998 and 1999 costs was previously forecasted as part of Honeywell's operating expenditures and included in the company's budgets. Management believes that such costs will not have a material impact on the operations, cash flows or financial condition of Honeywell and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, in future periods.

The preceding "Year 2000 Readiness Disclosures" contain forward-looking statements of Honeywell's expectations regarding the ability of its products and systems to be year 2000 ready, as well as its ability to assess the readiness of its suppliers and customers, and related risks. These statements relate to future events, the outcome of which is uncertain, and should be read in conjunction with the cautionary factors listed in Exhibit 99(i) to this report.

Euro Currency

In January 1999, the European Monetary Union (EMU) entered into a three-year transition phase during which a common currency called the Euro was introduced in participating countries. Initially, this new currency is being used for financial transactions, and progressively, it will replace the old national currencies that will be withdrawn by July 2002. The transition to the Euro currency will involve changing budgetary, accounting and fiscal systems in companies and public administrations, as well as the simultaneous handling of parallel currencies and conversion of legacy data.

Uncertainties related to the Euro conversion

In 1996, Honeywell began studying the ongoing process of European integration, focussing on issues and opportunities created by the EMU. Task teams were established to develop Honeywell's Euro strategies and policies. The findings of these teams have been integrated into our strategic and operational plans. At this time, there are no significant remaining uncertainties related to the Euro conversion and no material impact has been identified.

Competitive Implications

Making a broader European market requires product lines to become more international and less local. In 1993, Honeywell restructured and its market focus was changed from a country basis to a European line-of-business approach. Today, our pricing strategies are largely European, except in those instances where technical or cultural market characteristics warrant price differentiation. The expectations of our customers, with respect to the currency to be used in the transition period have been reflected in our changeover strategies, resulting in a pro-active dual currency capability since January 1, 1999. The same approach with our suppliers will allow us to benefit from the increased price transparency on the cost side. Plans are in place, including shared service centers and consolidation of operations, to pursue the economies of scale offered by the single European market. We believe converting to the Euro has no material impact on Honeywell's competitive position.

Information Technology and Other Systems

Compliance with European Commission regulations concerning conversion, triangulation and rounding rules related to the Euro introduction, have been addressed in detailed action plans involving all information systems in all Honeywell units, both for in-house and purchased systems. The cost of modification is insignificant, as the action plan builds on new systems implementation required for shared services and Year 2000 readiness. Timelines for implementation have been established, adequate resources are available and contingency plans are in place. We believe converting the information technology and other systems to the Euro has no material impact on Honeywell.

Currency Risk

With the convergence of short-term interest rates in the EMU countries, observed during the last two years, the foreign exchange exposure between the currencies of these countries has diminished considerably. Our foreign exchange exposure management has systematically been adapted to this evolution, thereby benefiting from reduced hedging cost. The definitive fixing of the exchange rates will only make this benefit permanent without creating any other issue or opportunity other than eliminating the spread on the spot exchange. All balance sheet exposures between EMU currencies and non-EMU currencies are systematically hedged from month to month. The functional currency will not change to Euro in 1999 in any of the Honeywell units concerned. Current plans call for functional currency conversion by year-end 2001. We do not anticipate this change will have a material impact on Honeywell. We believe converting to the Euro has no material impact on Honeywell's currency exchange cost and/or risk exposure.

Safe Harbor Cautionary Statement

Any statements in this report regarding Honeywell's outlook for its businesses and their respective markets, such as projections of future performance, statements of management's plans and objectives, forecasts of market trends and other matters, are forward-looking statements, some of which may be identified by such words or phrases as "will likely result," "are expected to," "will continue," "outlook," "is anticipated," "estimate," "project" or similar expressions. No assurance can be given that the results in any forward-looking statement will be achieved and actual results could be affected by one or more factors which could cause them to differ materially. For these statements, Honeywell claims the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

The following is a summary of certain factors, the results of which, if markedly different from Honeywell's planning assumptions, could cause Honeywell's future results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements contained in this report:

foreign currency translations of sales denominated in other currencies, which may fluctuate adversely based on local currency valuations;

changes in macroeconomic conditions in those regions throughout the world in which Honeywell does business, such as those which have recently occurred in Asia, Latin America and Eastern Europe, or changes in trade or monetary policies, any of which may affect customer demand for the company's products and services;

risks pertaining to performance and energy retrofit contracts, including dependence on the performance of third parties;

various competitive pressures, such as new technologies, industry consolidation and deregulation of certain industries;

the ability of material suppliers or key customers of the Company to reduce or eliminate risks to their businesses or operations arising from the year 2000 issue;

availability of intellectual property rights for newly developed products or key technologies; and

significant acquisitions or divestitures.

Please refer to Exhibit 99(i) of this report for a more detailed discussion of these and other factors that could cause Honeywell's actual results in future periods to differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking statements.

Financial Condition

Shareowners' equity increased to $3,164 million from $2,786 million at the end of 1998. Shareowners' equity includes an increase of $302 million in retained earnings from current year earnings net of dividends, a $19 million decrease in the accumulated foreign currency translation balance, a $117 million increase in additional paid in capital, and a $22 million net decrease in treasury stock, driven by the repurchase of treasury shares.

Basic common shares outstanding increased from 126.3 million at the end of 1998 to 128.2 million, primarily as a result of the decrease in the number of shares repurchased under the company's share repurchase program, since the announcement of the intended merger between Honeywell and AlliedSignal. During the first nine months of 1999, 715,000 shares were repurchased at a cost of $52 million. Diluted shares outstanding increased from 127.7 million at year-end 1998 to 130.7 million at the end of September. The repurchased shares are intended to offset planned issuances under existing employee stock and incentive programs. Shares issued through stock option and stock bonus plans totaled 2,259,623, up significantly from 1998, as a number of options are being converted to common stock as a result of a higher stock price. Proceeds from stock options yielded $143.1 million.

Debt as a percentage of total capital at the end of the third quarter was 30 percent, down five percent from the end of 1998. The primary driver of the change was an increase in additional paid in capital and retained earnings.

In the third quarter of 1999, Honeywell committed itself to a plan of action and recorded special charges of $17.6 million intended to reduce operating costs and improve margins in the Industrial Control business. Included in the third quarter of 1999 are expenditures of $1.7 million for work force reductions.

During 1998, Honeywell recorded special charges of $53.7 million intended to reduce operating costs and improve margins. Expenditures of $8.1 million in the third quarter of 1999 included $5.9 million for work force reduction, $0.2 million for facilities consolidations and $2.0 million for other restructuring activities. For the first nine months, expenditures totaled $38.5 million, consisting of $29.9 million for work force reduction, $ 1.5 million for facility consolidations and $7.1 million for other restructuring activities.

Additionally in 1997, special charges of $90.7 million were recorded. Expenditures of $0.6 million in the third quarter of 1999 included $0.5 million for work force reduction and $0.1 million for facilities consolidations. For the first nine months, expenditures totaled $11.5 million, consisting of $4.2 million for work force reduction, $6.1 million for facility consolidations and $1.2 million for other restructuring activities. The remaining balance of restructuring reserves is $16.2 million for the 1999 charges, $11.2 million for the 1998 charges and $5.3 million for the 1997 charges. Accrued costs remaining will be funded with cash flows from operating activities in 1999.

Net cash flow generated by operating activities for the first nine months was $464.5 million. Net cash flows used by investing activities were $418.6 million, primarily due to capital expenditures and investments in acquisitions. The primary investing activities of investments in capital and acquisitions were funded by cash generated from operations and proceeds from the sale of assets.

At the end of the quarter, Honeywell had $1,325 million of committed revolving credit lines with 17 banks. There were no outstanding borrowings against these lines on October 3, 1999. In addition, certain foreign units had $618 million in credit lines available at the end of the third quarter. Honeywell believes its available cash, committed credit lines and access to the public debt markets through commercial paper and medium-term note programs provide adequate short-term and long-term liquidity.

As of October 3, 1999, Honeywell's credit ratings for long-term and short-term debt, respectively, were A/A-1 by Standard and Poor's Corporation, A/D-1 by Duff and Phelps Credit Rating Co. and A2/P-1 by Moody's Investors Service, Inc.

Honeywell has entered into various foreign currency exchange contracts and interest rate swaps to manage its net exposure to changes in currency and interest rate fluctuation. As of October 3, 1999, the notional amount of outstanding foreign exchange contracts was approximately $0.9 billion. The amount of hedging gains and losses deferred was not material at October 3, 1999. The notional amount of outstanding interest rate swaps was $1.2 billion at October 3, 1999.
