EXHIBIT 99(i)
 
                             CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS
                 FOR PURPOSES OF THE SAFE HARBOR PROVISIONS OF
              THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995
 
    Honeywell Inc. ("Honeywell" or the "Company") may occasionally make
statements regarding its businesses and their respective markets, such as
projections of future performance, statements of management's plans and
objectives, future contracts, forecasts of market trends and other matters,
which to the extent they are not historical fact, may constitute
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Statements containing the words or phrases "will
likely result", "are expected to," "will continue," "outlook," "is anticipated,"
"estimate," "project" or similar expressions, which may appear in certain
documents, reports (including but not limited to those filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission), press releases, and written or oral presentations made
by officers of the Company to analysts, shareholders, investors, news
organizations and others, identify such forward-looking statements. No assurance
can be given that the results in any forward-looking statements will be achieved
and actual results could be affected by one or more factors which could cause
them to differ materially. Therefore, Honeywell wishes to ensure that any
written or oral forward-looking statements made by it or on its behalf, are
accompanied by, or referenced to, meaningful cautionary statements in order to
maximize to the fullest extent possible the protections of the safe harbor
established in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
 
    All forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of Honeywell are hereby
qualified in their entirety by reference to the following important factors,
among others, that could affect the Company's businesses and cause actual
results to differ materially from those projected. Any forward-looking statement
speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and Honeywell
undertakes no obligation to update such statement to reflect events or
circumstances arising after such date.
 
    FOREIGN SALES.  A significant portion of Honeywell's revenues are generated
from international business operations. Changes in trade, monetary policies and
regulatory requirements of the United States and other nations (e.g. the
adoption of the EURO currency by the European Monetary Union), as well as
political instability in certain regions may affect Honeywell's international
business. Many of Honeywell's sales outside the United States are denominated in
local currencies; therefore, exchange rate fluctuations may affect overall
financial performance.
 
    PROJECT MANAGEMENT.  Performance related programs and retrofit projects are
an integral part of Honeywell's businesses. The success of some of these
programs may depend in part on the performance of third parties. Honeywell
manages its businesses in such a manner as to minimize the potential impact of
performance; nonetheless, bid variances, third party labor disputes, and the
availability, quality and timely delivery of supplies are factors that could
affect the Company's ability to manage these programs within their budgetary
guidelines.
 
    COMPETITION.  Honeywell's businesses are subject to various competitive
pressures, including but not limited to, the introduction of new competitive
technologies, industry consolidation, the growing acceptance of open systems
environments and the deregulation of certain industries. Developments in these
areas may influence Honeywell's strategies in certain markets and create new
challenges or opportunities.
 
    HUMAN RESOURCES.  Innovative products and solutions are continuously
developed by Honeywell's businesses for application in the markets they serve.
Highly trained technical and managerial employees are required for this effort,
and Honeywell's ability to manage its businesses successfully
 
                                       75

depends, in part, on its ability to attract and retain such people. Shortages of
skilled personnel or negative compensation trends are factors that can affect
the availability of such people or increase Honeywell's costs in attracting and
retaining employees. In certain foreign markets, local labor rates and practices
may affect Honeywell's operating costs or its ability to conduct business in
such areas.
 
    REGULATORY ORGANIZATIONS.  In many of the domestic and foreign markets in
which Honeywell competes, such as aviation, building control, processing and
refining, government regulation is extensive. Compliance with safety or
environmental standards may impact Honeywell in those markets by increasing
Honeywell's costs or alternately, by providing opportunities for Honeywell to
provide solutions for customers affected thereby.
 
    Also, certain other organizations such as the Financial Accounting Standards
Board and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, may from time
to time, promulgate rules and regulations which may impact Honeywell's
accounting policies in the U.S. and abroad.
 
    TECHNOLOGY.  Honeywell's products and services are based on innovative
technologies developed by the Company or licensed from others. To the extent the
Company can secure intellectual property protection for products it develops, it
may be able to enhance its competitive position in certain markets. Honeywell's
ability to obtain licenses from third parties for other key technologies, or to
develop new technologies or solutions independently or through collaborative
efforts can impact the Company's businesses.
 
    YEAR 2000 READINESS DISCLOSURES.  Honeywell has established a year 2000
program to evaluate and deal with issues which may arise and affect its
products, services, businesses and operations as a result of the year 2000
issue. To the extent Honeywell is unable to successfully execute the strategies
set forth in that program, or if one or more of such efforts fail, the Company
could face product liability claims from certain customers, or disruption of its
businesses or operations. Similarly, if a critical supplier is unable to remedy
its year 2000 issues, that source of supply for a product or service critical to
a particular Honeywell business, could be disrupted and affect the ability of
that business to conduct its operations or provide certain products or services
to customers. Please refer to the information set forth under the caption "Year
2000 Readiness Disclosures" in Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations, for a more in-depth discussion of
year 2000 risks and uncertainties which could affect the Company's businesses.
 
    CUSTOMER TRENDS.  The demand for Honeywell's products is subject to the
demands in major customer markets. For example, the requirements of major
airlines for new aircraft may affect the demand for avionics and cockpit
controls produced by Honeywell's Space and Aviation Control business; new
construction or modernization activity, or unseasonable weather patterns may
influence the demand for products and services provided by the Home and Building
Control business; the demand for new or modernized processing plants in certain
industrial sector markets may affect Honeywell's Industrial Control business.
Adverse fluctuations in the prices of commodities produced or used by the
Honeywell's customers in their operations, as well as the availability of credit
markets in the United States and other regions of the world to the Company's
customers, may affect their ability to purchase Honeywell's products and
services. The Company endeavors to forecast such trends, but unforeseen general
economic conditions in the United States and internationally, such as those
which have recently occurred in Asia, Latin America and eastern Europe, as well
as industry specific factors, may affect such forecasts.
 
    To the extent a key customer of Honeywell is affected by the year 2000
issue, that customer's demand for the products or services of Honeywell could
also be affected.
 
    CHARGES RESULTING FROM ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES.  Honeywell continually
evaluates the growth potential and profitability of its existing businesses, and
equity and other investments. When deemed appropriate, Honeywell will acquire
new businesses to expand its product offerings, increase
 
                                       76

or decrease its investments, and divest assets (e.g., buildings, product lines,
etc.) and existing businesses which are no longer considered a strategic fit or
do not continue to create value consistent with the Company's objectives.
Decisions to sell assets or divest businesses could result in future gains or
charges depending on the circumstances.
 
    The foregoing factors are not exhaustive and new factors may emerge which
impact Honeywell's businesses. It is impossible for management to predict such
factors, therefore, forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as a
prediction of actual future results.
