CAUTIONARY STATEMENT ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

          This report contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements are those that address activities, events or developments that we or our management intends, expects, projects, believes or anticipates will or may occur in the future. They are based on management’s assumptions and assessments in light of past experience and trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other relevant factors. They are not guarantees of future performance, and actual results, developments and business decisions may differ from those envisaged by our forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements are also subject to risks and uncertainties, which can affect our performance in both the near- and long-term. These forward-looking statements should be considered in light of the information included in this report and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including, without limitation, the Risk Factors, as well as the description of trends and other factors in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, set forth in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Honeywell International Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
(Dollars in millions, except per share amounts)

NOTE 1. Basis of Presentation

          In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position of Honeywell International Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries at March 31, 2006 and the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005. The results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2006 should not necessarily be taken as indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the entire year 2006.

          We report our quarterly financial information using a calendar convention; that is, the first, second and third quarters are consistently reported as ending on March 31, June 30 and September 30, respectively. It has been our practice to establish actual quarterly closing dates using a predetermined “fiscal” calendar, which requires our businesses to close their books on a Saturday in order to minimize the potentially disruptive effects of quarterly closing on our business processes. The effects of this practice are generally not significant to reported results for any quarter and only exist within a reporting year. In the event that differences in actual closing dates are material to year-over-year comparisons of quarterly or year-to-date results, we will provide appropriate disclosures. Our actual closing dates for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 were April 1, 2006 and April 2, 2005, respectively. Our fiscal closing calendar for the years 2000 through 2012 is available on our website at www.honeywell.com under the heading “Investor Relations”.

          The financial information for the three months ended March 31, 2006 should be read in conjunction with the financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2005. In this form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2006, we have presented our previously reported financial information as if the new accounting policy for Aerospace sales incentives, adopted effective the first quarter of 2006, had been in place during all periods presented. The impact of this change in policy is discussed in Note 3, Accounting Policy Change for Aerospace Sales Incentives.

NOTE 2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

          In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 151, “Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4” (SFAS No. 151) which clarifies that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted materials (spoilage) should be recognized as current-period charges. In addition, SFAS No. 151 requires that allocation of fixed production overhead to inventory be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. SFAS No. 151 is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company adopted SFAS No. 151 on January 1, 2006. The adoption of this Standard did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

          In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS No. 123R) requiring that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements. The cost is to be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. In April 2005, the adoption date of SFAS No. 123R was delayed to financial statements issued for the first annual period beginning after June 15,

6


2005. The Company has adopted SFAS No. 123R on January 1, 2006 using the modified prospective method. The impact of adopting this Standard is discussed in Note 12 “Stock-based Compensation Plans”.

          In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 154 “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections.” This pronouncement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle and revises the requirements for accounting for and reporting a change in accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of a voluntary change in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to do so. This pronouncement also requires that a change in the method of depreciation, amortization, or depletion for long-lived, non-financial assets be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate that is effected by a change in accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Statement does not change the transition provisions of any existing accounting pronouncements, including those that are in a transition phase (such as FAS No.123R, stock-based payments) as of the effective date of SFAS No. 154. The adoption of this accounting pronouncement has resulted in presenting our previously reported financial information as if the new accounting policy for Aerospace Sales Incentives had been in place during all periods presented in this report. The impact of this change in policy is discussed in Note 3, Accounting Policy Change for Aerospace Sales Incentives.

NOTE 3. Accounting Policy Change for Aerospace Sales Incentives

          Effective the first quarter of 2006, the Company changed its accounting policy (“new policy”) for Aerospace sales incentives. The Company provides sales incentives to commercial aircraft manufacturers and airlines in connection with their selection of our aircraft wheel and braking system hardware and auxiliary power units for installation on commercial aircraft. These incentives principally consist of free or deeply discounted products but also include credits for future purchases of product and upfront cash payments. Historically these incentives were capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful economic life. Under the new policy these costs are recognized as provided. For aircraft manufacturers, incentives are recorded when the products are delivered; for airlines, incentives are recorded when the associated aircraft are delivered by the aircraft manufacturer to the airline. While the historical policy of capitalizing and amortizing such costs was considered acceptable, the Company believes that the new policy is preferable as it will improve decision-making and internal controls for Aerospace sales incentives.

          SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections” requires that the Company report this change in accounting policy through retrospective application of the new policy to all prior periods presented. Accordingly we have adjusted our previously reported financial information for all periods presented. The following summarizes the impact of these adjustments on previously reported financial statements.

NOTE 4. Acquisitions and Divestitures

          In February 2006, the Company completed the sale of Indalex Aluminum Solutions (Indalex) to an affiliate of the private investment firm Sun Capital Partners, Inc. for $425 million in cash. Indalex was part of the Novar acquisition and was considered a non-core business. Indalex had been classified as held for sale in the December 31, 2005 balance sheet and its results have been presented as discontinued operations for periods from the date of acquisition through the date of sale.

          In March 2006, the Company completed the acquisition of First Technology plc, a U.K publicly listed company. The aggregate value of the purchase price was approximately $715 million, including the assumption of approximately $217 million of outstanding debt. The purchase price for the acquisition was allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. The Company has assigned $175 million to identifiable intangible assets, predominantly customer relationships, existing technology and trademarks. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of net assets acquired approximating $441 million, was recorded as goodwill. This goodwill is non-deductible for tax purposes. Approximately $454 million of the purchase price was unpaid at March 31, 2006, and is classified as a current liability which was paid to First Technology shareholders in April 2006. This acquisition was accounted for by the purchase method, and, accordingly, results of operations are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. The results from the acquisition date through March 31, 2006 were not material to the financial statements.

8


          At March 31, 2006, the Company has included the assets and liabilities relating to the First Technology Safety & Analysis business (FTSA) as held for sale. Honeywell considers this business as non-strategic to its ongoing operations, and in March 2006 entered in to a definitive agreement to sell FTSA for $87 million. The Company expects the transaction to close during the first half of this year subject to regulatory review.

          In February 2006 the Company entered in to a definitive agreement to acquire Gardiner Groupe Europe. The Company anticipates completing the transaction in the second quarter of 2006.

          The Company is actively pursuing buyers for three small non-strategic manufacturing plants in our Specialty Materials segment, which have been classified as held for sale.

manufacturing and administrative positions in our Automation and Control Solutions, Transportation Systems and Aerospace segments.

          In the first quarter of 2005, we recognized a repositioning charge of $34 million primarily for severance costs related to workforce reductions of 1,340 manufacturing and administrative positions across all of our reportable segments. Also, during the first quarter of 2005, $6 million of previously established accruals, primarily for severance at Corporate, were returned to income. The reversal of severance liabilities relates primarily to changes in the scope of previously announced severance programs and for severance amounts previously paid to an outside service provider as part of an outsourcing arrangement which were refunded to Honeywell in the first quarter of 2005.

          In the first quarter of 2006, we recognized a charge of $62 million for environmental liabilities deemed probable and reasonably estimable in the quarter. We recognized asbestos related litigation charges, net of insurance, of $28 million which are discussed in detail in Note 16, Commitments and Contingencies. We recognized impairment charges of $9 million related primarily to the write-down of property, plant and equipment held for sale in our Specialty Materials reportable segment. We also recognized other charges of $7 million related primarily to a property damage litigation matter in our Corporate reportable segment.

                    In the first quarter of 2005, we recognized a charge of $39 million for environmental liabilities deemed probable and reasonably estimable in the quarter. We recognized asbestos related litigation charges, net of insurance, of $34 million which are discussed in detail in Note 16, Commitments and Contingencies.

          The diluted earnings per share calculation excludes the effect of stock options when the options’ exercise prices exceed the average market price of the common shares during the period. For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, the number of stock options not included in the computations was 27.8 and 18.3 million, respectively. These stock options were outstanding at the end of each of the respective periods. In the first quarter of 2006, the adoption of SFAS No. 123R “Share Based Payment” resulted in a reduction in basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.02.

          In March 2006, the Company issued $300 million of floating rate (Libor + 6 bps) Senior Notes due 2009, $400 million 5.40% Senior Notes due 2016 and $550 million 5.70% Senior Notes due 2036 (collectively, the “Notes”). The Notes are senior unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of Honeywell and rank equally with all of Honeywell’s existing and future senior unsecured debt and senior to all Honeywell’s subordinated debt. The offering resulted in gross proceeds of $1,250 million, offset by $11 million in discount and closing costs relating to the offering.

          During the first quarter of 2006, the Company made a cash tender offer and repurchased $225 million of its $500 million 5.125% Notes due November 2006. The costs relating to the early redemption of the Notes, net of the impact from termination of related interest rate swaps was immaterial.

NOTE 12. Stock-Based Compensation Plans

          Honeywell has stock-based compensation plans available to grant non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights,

13


restricted units and restricted stock to key employees. Under the 2006 Stock Incentive Plan of Honeywell International Inc. and its Affiliates (the Plan), which was approved by the shareowners at the Annual Meeting of Shareowners and became effective on April 24, 2006, a maximum of 43 million shares of Honeywell common stock may be awarded. Honeywell expects that common stock awarded on an annual basis will be between 1.0 and 1.5 percent of total common stock outstanding. Following approval of the Plan on April 24, 2006, Honeywell will not grant any new awards under any previously existing stock-based compensation plans. Additionally, under the 2006 Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors of Honeywell International Inc. (the Directors Plan), which was approved by the shareowners at the Annual Meeting of Shareowners and became effective April 24, 2006, 500,000 shares of Honeywell common stock may be awarded. The Directors Plan replaces the 1994 Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors of Honeywell International Inc. The principal awards outstanding under our stock-based compensation plans include non-qualified stock options and restricted stock units.

          The exercise price, term and other conditions applicable to each stock option granted under the stock plans are generally determined by the Management Development and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The exercise price of stock options is set on the grant date and may not be less than the fair market value per share of our stock on that date. The options generally become exercisable over a three-year period and expire after ten years.

          Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS No.123R) requiring that compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements. The cost is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity award). Prior to January 1, 2006, we accounted for share-based compensation to employees in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (APB No. 25), and related interpretations. We also followed the disclosure requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, as amended by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure”. We adopted SFAS No. 123R using the modified prospective method and, accordingly, financial statement amounts for prior periods presented in this Form 10-Q have not been restated to reflect the fair value method of recognizing compensation cost relating to non-qualified stock options.

          There was $25 million of compensation cost related to non-qualified stock options recognized in operating results (included in selling, general and administrative expenses) in the three months ended March 31, 2006. The associated future income tax benefit recognized was $10 million in the three months ended March 31, 2006.

          The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Expected volatility is based on implied volatilities from long-term traded options on Honeywell stock. We used a Monte Carlo simulation model to derive an expected term. Such model uses historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination behavior. The expected term represents an estimate of the time options are expected to remain outstanding. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The following table sets forth the assumptions used to determine compensation cost for our non-qualified stock options consistent with the requirements of SFAS No. 123R.

NOTE 16. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Environmental Matters

          We are subject to various federal, state, local and foreign government requirements relating to the protection of the environment. We believe that, as a general matter, our policies, practices and procedures are properly designed to prevent unreasonable risk of environmental damage and personal injury and that our handling, manufacture, use and disposal of hazardous or toxic substances are in accord with environmental and safety laws and regulations. However, mainly because of past operations and operations of predecessor companies, we, like other companies engaged in similar businesses, have incurred remedial response and voluntary cleanup costs for site contamination and are a party to lawsuits and claims associated with environmental and safety matters, including past production of products containing toxic substances. Additional lawsuits, claims and costs involving environmental matters are likely to continue to arise in the future.

          With respect to environmental matters involving site contamination, we continually conduct studies, individually or jointly with other potentially responsible parties, to determine the feasibility of various remedial techniques to address environmental matters. It is our policy to record appropriate liabilities for environmental matters when remedial efforts or damage claim payments are probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. Such liabilities are based on our best estimate of the undiscounted future costs required to complete the remedial work. The recorded liabilities are adjusted periodically as remediation efforts progress or as additional technical or legal information becomes available. Given the uncertainties regarding the status of laws, regulations, enforcement policies, the impact of other potentially responsible parties, technology and information related to individual sites, we do not

18


believe it is possible to develop an estimate of the range of reasonably possible environmental loss in excess of our accruals. We expect to fund expenditures for these matters from operating cash flow. The timing of cash expenditures depends on a number of factors, including the timing of litigation and settlements of remediation liability, personal injury and property damage claims, regulatory approval of cleanup projects, remedial techniques to be utilized and agreements with other parties. The following table summarizes information concerning our recorded liabilities for environmental costs:

          Although we do not currently possess sufficient information to reasonably estimate the amounts of liabilities to be recorded upon future completion of studies, litigation or settlements, and neither the timing nor the amount of the ultimate costs associated with environmental matters can be determined, they could be material to our consolidated results of operations or operating cash flows in the periods recognized or paid. However, considering our past experience and existing reserves, we do not expect that these environmental matters will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position.

          Jersey City, NJ — In February 2005, the Third Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the decision of the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey (the ‘District Court’) in the matter entitled Interfaith Community Organization (ICO), et al. v. Honeywell International Inc., et al., that a predecessor Honeywell site located in Jersey City, New Jersey constituted an imminent and substantial endangerment and ordered Honeywell to conduct the excavation and transport for offsite disposal of approximately one million tons of chromium residue present at the site, as well as the remediation of site-impacted ground water and river sediments. Provisions have been made in our financial statements for the estimated cost of implementation of the excavation and offsite removal remedy, which is expected to be incurred evenly over a five-year period starting in April 2006. We do not expect implementation of this remedy to have a material adverse effect on our future consolidated results of operations, operating cash flows or financial position. We are developing a proposed plan for remediation of ground water and river sediments for submission later this year and cannot reasonably estimate the costs of that remediation, both because the remediation plan has not been finalized and because numerous third parties could be responsible for an as yet undetermined portion of the ultimate costs of remediating the river sediment.

          The site at issue in the ICO matter is one of twenty-one sites located in Jersey City, New Jersey which are the subject of an Administrative Consent Order (ACO) entered into with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection

19


(NJDEP) in 1993. Remedial investigations and activities consistent with the ACO are underway at the other sites (the ‘Honeywell ACO Sites’).

          On May 3, 2005, NJDEP filed a lawsuit in New Jersey Superior Court against Honeywell and two other companies seeking declaratory and injunctive relief, unspecified damages, and the reimbursement of unspecified total costs relating to sites in New Jersey allegedly contaminated with chrome ore processing residue. The claims against Honeywell relate to the activities of a predecessor company which ceased its New Jersey manufacturing operations in the mid-1950s. While the complaint is not entirely clear, it appears that approximately 100 sites are at issue, including 17 of the Honeywell ACO Sites, sites at which the other two companies have agreed to remediate under separate administrative consent orders, as well as approximately 53 other sites (identified in the complaint as the ‘Publicly Funded Sites’) for which none of the three companies have signed an administrative consent order. In addition to claims specific to each company, NJDEP claims that all three companies should be collectively liable for all the chrome sites based on a ‘market share’ theory. In addition, NJDEP is seeking treble damages for all costs it has incurred or will incur at the Publicly Funded Sites. Honeywell believes that it has no connection with the sites covered by the other companies’ administrative consent orders and, therefore, we have no responsibility for those sites. At the Honeywell ACO Sites, we are conducting remedial investigations and activities consistent with the ACO; thus, we do not believe the lawsuit will significantly change our obligations with respect to the Honeywell ACO Sites. Lawsuits have also been filed against Honeywell in the District Court under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) by two New Jersey municipal utilities seeking the cleanup of chromium residue at two Honeywell ACO Sites and by a citizens’ group against Honeywell and thirteen other defendants with respect to contamination on about a dozen of the Honeywell ACO Sites. For the reasons stated above, we do not believe these lawsuits will significantly change our obligations with respect to the Honeywell ACO Sites.

          Although it is not possible at this time to predict the outcome of matters discussed above, we believe that the allegations are without merit and we intend to vigorously defend against these lawsuits. We do not expect these matters to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position. While we expect to prevail, an adverse litigation outcome could have a material adverse impact on our consolidated results of operations and operating cash flows in the periods recognized or paid.

          Onondaga Lake, Syracuse, NY — A predecessor company to Honeywell operated a chemical plant which is alleged to have contributed mercury and other contaminants to the Lake. In July 2005, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (the DEC) issued its Record of Decision with respect to remediation of industrial contamination in the Lake.

          The Record of Decision calls for a combined dredging/capping remedy generally in line with the approach recommended in the Feasibility Study submitted by Honeywell in May 2004. Based on currently available information and analysis performed by our engineering consultants, we have accrued for our estimated cost of implementing the remedy set forth in the Record of Decision. Our estimating process considered a range of possible outcomes and amounts recorded reflect our best estimate at this time. We do not believe that this matter will have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial position. Given the scope and complexity of this project, it is possible that actual costs could exceed estimated costs by an amount that could have a material adverse impact on our consolidated results of operations and operating cash flows in the periods recognized or paid. At this time, however, we cannot identify any legal, regulatory or technical reason to conclude that a specific alternative outcome is more probable than the outcome for which we have made provisions in our financial statements. The DEC’s aggregate cost estimate, which is higher than the amount reserved, is based on the high end of the range of potential costs for major elements of the Record of Decision and includes a contingency. We are

20


engaged in discussions with the DEC regarding a possible Consent Decree that would provide for implementation of the remedy set forth in the Record of Decision. The actual cost of the Record of Decision will depend upon, among other things, the resolution of certain technical issues during the design phase of the remediation.

          Dundalk Marine Terminal, Baltimore -- Chrome residue from legacy chrome plant operations in Baltimore was deposited as fill at the Dundalk Marine Terminal (“DMT”), which is owned and operated by the Maryland Port Administration (“MPA”). Honeywell and the MPA have been sharing costs to investigate and mitigate related environmental issues, and have negotiated a new cost sharing arrangement under which Honeywell will bear a 77% share of the costs of developing and implementing permanent remedies for the DMT facility. The investigative phase is expected to take approximately 18 months, after which the appropriate remedies will be identified and chosen. We have negotiated a consent decree with the MPA and the Maryland Department of the Environment (“MDE”) with respect to the investigation and remediation of the DMT facility, which has been approved by the Circuit Court for Baltimore County, Maryland. BUILD, a Baltimore community group, has moved to strike the Consent Decree. We do not believe that this matter will have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial position or operating cash flows. Given the scope and complexity of this project, it is possible that the cost of remediation, when determinable, could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations in the periods recognized.

Asbestos Matters

          Like many other industrial companies, Honeywell is a defendant in personal injury actions related to asbestos. We did not mine or produce asbestos, nor did we make or sell insulation products or other construction materials that have been identified as the primary cause of asbestos related disease in the vast majority of claimants. Products containing asbestos previously manufactured by Honeywell or by previously owned subsidiaries primarily fall into two general categories; refractory products and friction products.

          Refractory Products—Honeywell owned North American Refractories Company (NARCO) from 1979 to 1986. NARCO produced refractory products (high temperature bricks and cement) which were sold largely to the steel industry in the East and Midwest. Less than 2 percent of NARCO’s products contained asbestos.

          When we sold the NARCO business in 1986, we agreed to indemnify NARCO with respect to personal injury claims for products that had been discontinued prior to the sale (as defined in the sale agreement). NARCO retained all liability for all other claims. On January 4, 2002, NARCO filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.

          As a result of the NARCO bankruptcy filing, all of the claims pending against NARCO are automatically stayed pending the reorganization of NARCO. In addition, the bankruptcy court enjoined both the filing and prosecution of NARCO-related asbestos claims against Honeywell. Although the stay has remained in effect continuously since January 4, 2002, there is no assurance that such stay will remain in effect. In connection with NARCO’s bankruptcy filing, we paid NARCO’s parent company $40 million and agreed to provide NARCO with up to $20 million in financing. We also agreed to pay $20 million to NARCO’s parent company upon the filing of a plan of reorganization for NARCO acceptable to Honeywell (which amount was paid in December 2005 following the filing of NARCO’s Third Amended Plan of Reorganization), and to pay NARCO’s parent company $40 million, and to forgive any outstanding NARCO indebtedness, upon the confirmation and consummation, respectively, of such a plan.

          We believe that, as part of the NARCO plan of reorganization, a trust will be established for the benefit of all asbestos claimants, current and future, pursuant to Trust Distribution Procedures negotiated with the NARCO Committee of

21


Asbestos Creditors and the Court-appointed legal representative for future asbestos claimants. If the trust is put in place and approved by the Court as fair and equitable, Honeywell as well as NARCO will be entitled to a permanent channeling injunction barring all present and future individual actions in state or federal courts and requiring all asbestos related claims based on exposure to NARCO products to be made against the federally-supervised trust. Honeywell has reached agreement with the representative for future NARCO claimants and the Asbestos Claimants Committee to cap its annual contributions to the trust with respect to future claims at a level that would not have a material impact on Honeywell’s operating cash flows. The vast majority of the asbestos claimants have voted in favor of NARCO’s Third Amended Plan of Reorganization. The Court has scheduled NARCO’s confirmation hearing to begin in June 2006. Although we expect the NARCO plan of reorganization and the NARCO trust to be ultimately approved by the Court, no assurances can be given as to the Court’s ruling or the time frame for resolving any appeals of such ruling.

          Our consolidated financial statements reflect an estimated liability for settlement of pending and future NARCO-related asbestos claims of $1.8 billion as of both March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005. The estimated liability for current claims is based on terms and conditions, including evidentiary requirements, in definitive agreements with approximately 260,000 current claimants. Substantially all settlement payments with respect to current claims are expected to be made by the end of 2007. Approximately $90 million of payments due pursuant to these settlements is due only upon establishment of the NARCO trust.

          The estimated liability for future claims represents the estimated value of future asbestos related bodily injury claims expected to be asserted against NARCO through 2018 and the aforementioned obligations to NARCO’s parent. The estimate is based upon the disease criteria and payment values contained in the NARCO Trust Distribution Procedures negotiated with the NARCO Asbestos Claimants Committee and the NARCO future claimants’ representative. In light of the uncertainties inherent in making long-term projections we do not believe that we have a reasonable basis for estimating asbestos claims beyond 2018 under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5. Honeywell retained the expert services of Hamilton, Rabinovitz and Alschuler, Inc. (HR&A) to project the probable number and value, including trust claim handling costs, of asbestos related future liabilities based upon historical experience with similar trusts. The methodology used to estimate the liability for future claims has been commonly accepted by numerous courts and is the same methodology that is utilized by an expert who is routinely retained by the asbestos claimants committee in asbestos related bankruptcies. The valuation methodology includes an analysis of the population likely to have been exposed to asbestos containing products, epidemiological studies to estimate the number of people likely to develop asbestos related diseases, NARCO claims filing history, the pending inventory of NARCO asbestos related claims and payment rates expected to be established by the NARCO trust.

          As of both March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, our consolidated financial statements reflect an insurance receivable corresponding to the liability for settlement of pending and future NARCO-related asbestos claims of $1.1 billion. This coverage reimburses Honeywell for portions of the costs incurred to settle NARCO related claims and court judgments as well as defense costs and is provided by a large number of insurance policies written by dozens of insurance companies in both the domestic insurance market and the London excess market. At March 31, 2006, a significant portion of this coverage is with insurance companies with whom we have agreements to pay full policy limits based on corresponding Honeywell claims costs. We conduct analyses to determine the amount of insurance that we estimate is probable that we will recover in relation to payment of current and estimated future claims. While the substantial majority of our insurance carriers are solvent, some of our individual carriers are insolvent, which has been considered in our analysis of probable recoveries. We made

22


judgments concerning insurance coverage that we believe are reasonable and consistent with our historical dealings with our insurers, our knowledge of any pertinent solvency issues surrounding insurers and various judicial determinations relevant to our insurance programs.

          Projecting future events is subject to many uncertainties that could cause the NARCO related asbestos liabilities to be higher or lower than those projected and recorded. There is no assurance that a plan of reorganization will be confirmed, that insurance recoveries will be timely or whether there will be any NARCO related asbestos claims beyond 2018. Given the inherent uncertainty in predicting future events, we review our estimates periodically, and update them based on our experience and other relevant factors. Similarly we will reevaluate our projections concerning our probable insurance recoveries in light of any changes to the projected liability or other developments that may impact insurance recoveries.

          Friction products — Honeywell’s Bendix friction materials (Bendix) business manufactured automotive brake pads that contained chrysotile asbestos in an encapsulated form. There is a group of existing and potential claimants consisting largely of individuals that allege to have performed brake replacements.

          From 1981 through March 31, 2006, we have resolved approximately 79,000 Bendix related asbestos claims including trials covering 122 plaintiffs, which resulted in 116 favorable verdicts. Trials covering six individuals resulted in adverse verdicts; however, two of these verdicts were reversed on appeal, a third is on appeal, and the remaining three claims were settled.

(a)

Includes 2,524 claims which were inadvertently included in resolved claims amount at December 31, 2005. Such omission had no impact on the recorded values for such claims and has been corrected for purposes of this presentation.

          Approximately 30 percent of the approximately 79,000 pending claims at March 31, 2006 are on the inactive, deferred, or similar dockets established in some jurisdictions for claimants who allege minimal or no impairment. The approximately 79,000 pending claims also include claims filed in jurisdictions such as Texas, Virginia and Mississippi that historically allowed for consolidated filings. In these jurisdictions, plaintiffs were permitted to file complaints against a pre-determined master list of defendants, regardless of whether they have claims against each individual defendant. Many of these plaintiffs may not actually have claims against Honeywell. Based on state rules and prior experience in these jurisdictions, we anticipate that many of these claims will ultimately be dismissed.

          It is not possible to predict whether resolution values for Bendix related asbestos claims will increase, decrease or stabilize in the future.

          We have accrued for the estimated cost of pending Bendix related asbestos claims. The estimate is based on the number of pending claims at March 31, 2006, disease classifications, expected settlement values and historic dismissal rates. Honeywell retained the expert services of HR&A (see discussion of HR&A under Refractory products above) to assist in developing the estimated expected settlement values and historic dismissal rates. HR&A updates expected settlement values for pending claims during the second quarter each year. We cannot reasonably estimate losses which could arise from future Bendix related asbestos claims because we cannot predict how many additional claims may be brought against us, the allegations in such claims or their probable outcomes and resulting settlement values in the tort system.

          Honeywell currently has approximately $1.9 billion of insurance coverage remaining with respect to pending and potential future Bendix related asbestos claims of which $268 and $377 million are reflected as receivables in our consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. This coverage is provided by a large number of insurance policies written by dozens of insurance companies in both the domestic insurance market and the London excess market. Insurance receivables are recorded in the financial statements simultaneous with the recording of the liability for the estimated value of the underlying asbestos claims. The amount of the insurance receivable recorded is based on our ongoing analysis of the insurance that we estimate is probable of recovery. This determination is based on our analysis of the underlying insurance policies, our historical experience with our insurers, our ongoing review of the solvency of our insurers, our interpretation of judicial determinations relevant to our insurance programs, and our consideration of the impacts of any settlements reached with our insurers. Insurance receivables are also recorded when structured insurance settlements provide for future fixed payment streams that are not contingent upon future claims or other events. Such amounts are recorded at the net present value of the fixed payment stream.

          On a cumulative historical basis, Honeywell has recorded insurance receivables equal to approximately 50 percent of the value of the underlying asbestos claims recorded. However, because there are gaps in our coverage due to insurance company insolvencies, certain uninsured periods, and insurance settlements, this rate is expected to decline for any future Bendix related asbestos liabilities that may be recorded. Future recoverability rates may also be impacted by numerous other factors, such as future insurance settlements, insolvencies and judicial determinations relevant to our coverage program, which are difficult to predict. Assuming continued defense and indemnity spending at current levels, we estimate that the cumulative recoverability rate could decline over the next five years to approximately 40 percent.

          Honeywell believes it has sufficient insurance coverage and reserves to cover all pending Bendix related asbestos claims. Although it is impossible to predict the outcome of pending claims or to reasonably estimate losses which could arise from future Bendix related asbestos claims, we do not believe that such claims would have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position in light of our insurance coverage and our prior experience in resolving such claims. If the rate and types of claims filed, the average indemnity cost of such claims and the period of time over which claim settlements are paid

24


(collectively, the ‘Variable Claims Factors’) do not substantially change, Honeywell would not expect future Bendix related asbestos claims to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or operating cash flows in any fiscal year. No assurances can be given, however, that the Variable Claims Factors will not change.

          We are monitoring proposals for federal asbestos legislation pending in the United States Congress. Due to the uncertainty as to whether proposed legislation will be adopted and as to the terms of any adopted legislation, it is not possible at this point in time to determine what impact such legislation would have on our asbestos liabilities and related insurance recoveries.

Other Matters

          Breed Technologies Inc. v. AlliedSignal — The plaintiff alleged fraud in connection with AlliedSignal’s (a predecessor to the Company) October 1997 sale of its safety restraints business to Breed. On March 23, 2006 the jury in the case returned a verdict in favor of Honeywell.

          Allen, et. al. v. Honeywell Retirement Earnings Plan — This represents a purported class action lawsuit in which plaintiffs seek unspecified damages relating to allegations that, among other things, Honeywell impermissibly reduced the pension benefits of employees of Garrett Corporation (a predecessor entity) when the plan was amended in 1983 and failed to calculate certain benefits in accordance with the terms of the plan. In the third quarter of 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona ruled in favor of the plaintiffs on

25


these claims and in favor of Honeywell on virtually all other claims. We strongly disagree with, and intend to appeal, the Court’s adverse ruling. No class has yet been certified by the Court in this matter. In light of the merits of our arguments on appeal and substantial affirmative defenses which have not yet been considered by the Court, we continue to expect to prevail in this matter. Accordingly, we do not believe that a liability is probable of occurrence and reasonably estimable and have not recorded a provision for this matter in our financial statements. Given the uncertainty inherent in litigation, it is not possible to estimate the range of possible loss that might result from an adverse resolution of this matter. Although we expect to prevail in this matter, an adverse outcome could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or operating cash flows in the periods recognized or paid. We do not believe that an adverse outcome in this matter would have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position.

          We are subject to a number of other lawsuits, investigations and disputes (some of which involve substantial amounts claimed) arising out of the conduct of our business, including matters relating to commercial transactions, government contracts, product liability, prior acquisitions and divestitures, employee benefit plans, and health and safety matters. We recognize a liability for any contingency that is probable of occurrence and reasonably estimable. We continually assess the likelihood of adverse judgments of outcomes in these matters, as well as potential ranges of probable losses, based on a careful analysis of each matter with the assistance of outside legal counsel and, if applicable, other experts.

          Given the uncertainty inherent in litigation, we do not believe it is possible to develop estimates of the range of reasonably possible loss in excess of current accruals for these matters. Considering our past experience and existing accruals, we do not expect the outcome of these matters, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position. Because most contingencies are resolved over long periods of time, potential liabilities are subject to change due to new developments, changes in settlement strategy or the impact of evidentiary requirements, which could cause us to pay damage awards or settlements (or become subject to equitable remedies) that could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or operating cash flows in the periods recognized or paid.

          Warranties and Guarantees – As disclosed in Note 21 to our consolidated financial statements in our 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K, we have issued or are a party to certain direct and indirect guarantees. As of March 31, 2006, there has been no material change to these guarantees.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareowners
of Honeywell International Inc.

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Honeywell International Inc. and its subsidiaries as of March 31, 2006, and the related consolidated statement of operations for each of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2006 and 2005. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, of shareowners’ equity, and of cash flows for the year then ended, management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005 and the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005; and in our report dated March 1, 2006, we expressed unqualified opinions thereon. The consolidated financial statements and management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting referred to above are not presented herein. As discussed in Note 3 the Company changed its accounting policy for Aerospace sales incentives and accordingly the accompanying December 31, 2005 balance sheet presented herein is unaudited.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

 

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

(Dollars in millions, except per share amounts)

          The financial information as of March 31, 2006 should be read in conjunction with the financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. In this form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2006, we have presented our previously reported financial information as if the new accounting policy for Aerospace sales incentives, adopted effective the first quarter of 2006, had been in place during all periods presented. The impact of this change in policy is discussed in Note 3, Accounting Policy Change for Aerospace Sales Incentives.

          Other income increased by $3 million in the first quarter of 2006 compared with the first quarter of 2005. This is due to the gain on sale of a non-core land sale in our Specialty Materials segment of $16 million offset by lower interest income from lower cash balances.

          The effective tax rate decreased by 1.2% percentage point in the first quarter of 2006 compared with the first quarter of 2005 due principally to the resolution of a non-U.S. tax audit.

          Excluding the favorable audit resolution in 2006 and net repositioning and other charges in both years, the effective tax rate was 26.5 percent in both periods. This rate was lower than the statutory rate of 35 percent due in part to benefits from export sales and foreign taxes.

          Aerospace sales increased by 5 percent in the first quarter of 2006 compared with the first quarter of 2005 due primarily to higher volumes.

          Details regarding the increase in sales by customer end-markets are as follows:

 

 

 

 

Air transport and regional original equipment (OE) sales increased 19 percent primarily reflecting higher aircraft production rates by our air transport (OE) customers partially offset by lower sales to our OE regional customers.

 

 

 

 

Air transport and regional aftermarket sales increased due to the impact of a 6 percent increase in air transport global flying hours, offset by a decline (as anticipated) in sales of upgrades and retrofits of avionics equipment to meet certain 2005 mandated regulatory standards.

 

 

 

 

Business and general aviation OE sales increased 23 percent due primarily to the continued demand in the business jet end market as evidenced by increase in new business jet deliveries and high demand in the fractional ownership market. These increases primarily related to sales of Primus Epic integrated avionics systems, and the TFE 731 and HTF 7000 engines.

 

 

 

 

Business and general aviation aftermarket sales slightly declined due to lower sales of mandated upgrades and retrofits of avionics equipment required in the prior year to meet certain 2005 mandated regulatory standards, partially offset by additional sales due to increased engine utilization.

32


 

 

 

 

Defense and space sales decreased slightly due to lower volume in space and precision strike technology, offset by growth in surface and aftermarket mechanical sales

          Aerospace segment profit increased by 16% percent in the first quarter of 2006 compared with the first quarter of 2005 due primarily to sales volume growth and the cost savings realized from the Aerospace reorganization, partially offset by increased raw material costs and write-downs of certain customer related balances.

          Automation and Control Solutions sales increased by 19 percent in the first quarter of 2006 compared with the first quarter of 2005 due to organic sales growth of 4 percent, including 2 percent negative impact from foreign exchange, and growth from acquisitions (mainly Novar’s Intelligent Business Systems (IBS) business) of 15 percent. Organic sales growth was driven principally by increased volume in our security and life safety businesses.

          Automation and Control Solutions segment profit increased by 10% percent in the first quarter of 2006 compared with the first quarter of 2005 due principally to the increased volume of sales, offset by increased raw material costs, increased amortization expense for intangible assets and expenses incurred for our ERP implementation. In the first quarter of 2006, segment profit was also negatively impacted by a contract loss related to liquidity issues being experienced by a Building Solutions customer.

          Specialty Materials sales increased by 44 percent in the first quarter of 2006 compared with the first quarter of 2005, primarily due to the impact of acquisitions (UOP) of 49 percent offset by divestitures of 12 percent relating to the sale of assets of North American Nylon Carpet Fibers (formally in our Resins and Chemicals business) and Industrial Wax businesses. Organic growth was primarily due to higher volume and prices. Sales in our Fluorine Products business increased by 9 percent due to continued strong demand for non-ozone depleting HFC products. Organic growth in our Resins and Chemicals business was 6 percent, primarily due to price increases passed through to customers that offset increased raw material cost. Specialty Products sales increased due to higher sales to our customers in the semi-conductor industry. UOP sales were consolidated in to the Specialty Materials segment following our acquisition of the remaining 50 percent interest in UOP in November 2005.

          Specialty Materials segment profit increased by 175 percent in the first quarter of 2006 compared with the first quarter of 2005 due principally to the impact of acquisitions of $79 million and increased organic volume growth. Price

increases more than offset the impact of continued inflation in raw material costs, primarily natural gas.

          Transportation Systems sales decreased by 5 percent in the first quarter of 2006 compared with the first quarter of 2005, due to the unfavorable effect of foreign exchange of 4 percent and lower volumes of 1 percent. Sales for our Turbo Technologies business were down 3 percent compared to 2005, principally due to the negative impact of foreign exchange and flat sales to our customers in Europe. Sales for our Consumer Products Group business decreased by 9 percent as a result of exiting the North America friction materials OE business, a negative impact of foreign exchange and due to reduced first quarter demand from our large retail customers.

          Transportation Systems segment profit decreased by 8 percent in the first quarter of 2006 compared with the first quarter of 2005 due primarily to lower volumes and higher raw material costs, partially offset by productivity actions and the benefits of prior year restructuring actions.

(a)

Amount includes a repositioning charge of $8 million and a net asbestos related credit of $18 million.

          In the first quarter of 2006, we recognized a repositioning charge of $26 million primarily for severance costs related to workforce reductions of 526 manufacturing and administrative positions primarily in our Automation and Control Solutions, Transportation Systems and Aerospace segments.

          In the first quarter of 2005, we recognized a repositioning charge of $34 million primarily for severance costs related to workforce reductions of 1,340 manufacturing and administrative positions across all of our reportable segments. Also, during the first quarter of 2005, $6 million of previously established accruals, primarily for severance at Corporate, were returned to income. The reversal of severance liabilities relates primarily to changes in the scope of previously announced severance programs and for severance amounts previously paid to an outside service provider as part of an outsourcing arrangement which were refunded to Honeywell in the first quarter of 2005.

          The 2005 and 2006 repositioning actions will generate incremental pretax savings of approximately $170 million in 2006 compared with 2005 principally from planned workforce reductions. Cash spending for severance and other exit costs necessary to execute these actions were $62 million in the three months ended March 31, 2006 and were funded through operating cash flows. Cash spending for severance and other exit costs necessary to execute these actions will approximate $125 million in 2006 and will be funded through operating cash flows.

          In the first quarter of 2006, we recognized a charge of $62 million for environmental liabilities deemed probable and reasonably estimable in the quarter. We recognized asbestos related litigation charges, net of insurance, of $28 million which are discussed in detail in Note 16 Commitments and Contingencies. We recognized impairment charges of $9 million related primarily to the write-down of property, plant and equipment held for sale in our Specialty Materials reportable segment. We also recognized other charges of $7 million related primarily to a property damage litigation matter in our Corporate reportable segment.

          In the first quarter of 2005, we recognized a charge of $39 million for environmental liabilities deemed probable and reasonably estimable in the quarter. We also recognized asbestos related litigation charges, net of insurance, of $34 million which are discussed in detail in Note 16 Commitments and Contingencies.

B. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

          The Company continues to manage its businesses to maximize operating cash flows as the primary source of liquidity. We supplement operating cash with short-term debt from the commercial paper market and long-term borrowings. We continue to balance our cash and financing uses through investment in our existing core businesses, acquisition activity, share repurchases and dividends.

          We continuously assess the relative strength of each business in our portfolio as to strategic fit, market position, profit and cash flow contribution in order to upgrade our combined portfolio and identify business units that will most benefit from increased investment. We identify acquisition candidates that will further our strategic plan and strengthen our existing core businesses. We also identify business units that do not fit into our long-term strategic plan based on their market position, relative profitability or growth potential. These business units are considered for potential divestiture, restructuring or other repositioning actions subject to regulatory constraints.

Cash Flow Summary

          Our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities, as reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, are summarized as follows:

          Cash provided by operating activities decreased by $ 90 million during the first three months of 2006 compared with the first three months of 2005 due to an increase in working capital usage, net of acquisitions and divestitures, of $213 million (driven by higher receivable and inventory balances), a one-time payment of $62 million to a non-U.S. pension plan assumed following our acquisition of Novar in 2005, and higher tax payments compared to the first quarter of 2005. This was offset by higher net income of $78 million and receipt of $100 million from the sale of a portion of an insurance receivable.

          Cash provided by investing activities increased by $105 million in the quarter primarily driven by the receipt of proceeds from divestitures of $475 million (including $425 million for the sale of Indalex) in the first quarter of 2006, offset by cash paid for the acquisition of First Technology. Approximately $454 million of this purchase price was unpaid at March 31, 2006, and is classified as a current liability which was paid to First Technology shareholders in April 2006. In 2005, cash provided by investing activities related to redemption of short-term investments, offset by capital expenditures.

          Cash used for financing activities increased by $363 million primarily relating to re-financing of debt and the repurchase of $325 million of common stock in 2006 in the first quarter of 2006 compared to the first quarter of 2005. In the first quarter of 2006, the Company received proceeds from the issuance of long-term notes of $1,239 million, offset by the repayment of debt assumed with the First Technology acquisition of $209 million, repayment of long-term debt of $237 million and repayment of commercial paper of $637 million. Cash dividends

36


increased by $13 million compared to the first quarter of 2005 driven by an increase in the dividend rate.

Liquidity

          In March 2006, the Company issued $300 million of floating rate (Libor + 6 bps) Senior Notes due 2009, $400 million 5.40% Senior Notes due 2016 and $550 million 5.70% Senior Notes due 2036 (collectively, the “Notes”). The Notes are senior unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of Honeywell and rank equally with all of Honeywell’s existing and future senior unsecured debt and senior to all Honeywell’s subordinated debt. The offering resulted in gross proceeds of $1,250 million, offset by $11 million in discount and closing costs relating to the offering. Proceeds from the notes were used to repay commercial paper and debt.

          During the first quarter of 2006, the Company made a cash tender offer and repurchased $225 million of its $500 million 5.125% Notes due November 2006. The costs relating to the early redemption of the Notes, net of the impact from termination of related interest rate swaps was immaterial.

C. OTHER MATTERS

Litigation

          We are subject to a number of lawsuits, investigations and claims (some of which involve substantial amounts) arising out of the conduct of our business. See a discussion of environmental, asbestos and other litigation matters in Note 15 of Notes to Financial Statements.

Critical Accounting Policies

          For a discussion of the Company’s critical accounting policies, see “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Company’s 2005 Form 10-K.

          Effective the first quarter of 2006, the Company changed its accounting policy for Aerospace sales incentives to recognize the cost of these incentives as provided, rather than the former policy of capitalizing and amortizing these costs. The Company believes that the new policy is preferable as it will improve decision-making and internal controls for Aerospace sales incentives. The impact of this change in accounting policy is discussed in Note 3, Accounting Policy Change for Aerospace Sales Incentives.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

          See Note 2 of Notes to Financial Statements for a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

          See our 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K (Item 7A). As of March 31, 2006, there has been no material change in this information.

37


ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

          Honeywell management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in alerting them on a timely basis to material information relating to Honeywell required to be included in Honeywell’s periodic filings under the Exchange Act. There have been no changes that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Honeywell’s internal control over financial reporting that have occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

          General Legal Matters

          We are subject to a number of lawsuits, investigations and claims (some of which involve substantial amounts) arising out of the conduct of our business. See a discussion of environmental, asbestos and other litigation matters in Note 15 of Notes to Financial Statements.

 

 

 

Environmental Matters Involving Potential Monetary Sanctions

 

in Excess of $100,000

          As previously reported, three incidents occurred during 2003 at Honeywell’s Baton Rouge, Louisiana chemical plant, including a release of chlorine, a release of antimony pentachloride which resulted in an employee fatality, and an employee exposure to hydrofluoric acid. Honeywell has been served with several civil lawsuits regarding these incidents, for which we believe we have adequate insurance coverage. In addition, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and the United States Department of Justice (USDOJ) are conducting investigations of these incidents, including a federal grand jury convened to investigate the employee fatality. Honeywell has been informed by the USDOJ that it is a potential target of the grand jury investigation. If we are ultimately charged with wrongdoing, the Baton Rouge facility could be deemed ineligible to supply products or services under government contracts pending the completion of legal proceedings. Although the outcome of this matter cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not believe that it will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations or operating cash flows.

          Honeywell is a defendant in a lawsuit filed by the Arizona Attorney General’s Office on behalf of the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ). The complaint alleges various environmental violations and failure to make required disclosures. Honeywell believes that the allegations in this matter are without merit and intends to vigorously defend against this lawsuit. In September 2004, the Court partially dismissed several of the ADEQ’s significant allegations. In any event, we do not believe that this matter could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations or operating cash flows.

          The State of Illinois has brought a claim against Honeywell for penalties and past costs relating to releases of chlorinated solvents at a facility owned by a third party. The State’s claim is that a predecessor company to Honeywell delivered solvents to the third party from 1969 until 1992; that spills occurred

38


during those deliveries; and that Honeywell should pay a share of penalties and state response costs connected with those spills. Honeywell believes it has strong defenses to many of the State’s claims (including that the contamination arose primarily from releases unrelated to the predecessor’s deliveries). We do not believe that this matter will have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or operating cash flows.
