Aerospace Sales

      Our sales to aerospace customers were 38 percent of our total sales in each of 2005, 2004 and 2003. Our sales to commercial aerospace original equipment manufacturers were 9, 8 and 7 percent of our total sales in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. In addition, our sales to commercial aftermarket customers of aerospace products and services were 15, 16 and 15 percent of our total sales in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Our Aerospace results of operations can be impacted by various industry and economic conditions. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors.”

U.S. Government Sales

      Sales to the U.S. Government (principally by our Aerospace segment), acting through its various departments and agencies and through prime contractors, amounted to $3,719, $3,464 and $3,111 million in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively, which included sales to the U.S. Department of Defense, as a prime contractor and subcontractor, of $2,939, $2,808 and $2,564 million in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. U.S. defense spending increased in 2005 and is also expected to increase in 2006. We do not expect to be significantly affected by any proposed changes in 2006 federal spending due principally to the varied mix of the government programs which impact us (OEM production, engineering development programs, aftermarket spares and repairs and overhaul programs). Our contracts with the U.S. Government are subject to audits, investigations, and termination by the government. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors.”

Backlog

      Our total backlog at December 31, 2005 and 2004 was $9,327 and $8,229 million, respectively. We anticipate that approximately $7,594 million of the 2005 backlog will be filled in 2006. We believe that backlog is not necessarily a reliable indicator of our future sales because a substantial portion of the orders constituting this backlog may be canceled at the customer's option.

Competition

      We are subject to active competition in substantially all product and service areas. Competition is expected to continue in all geographic regions. Competitive conditions vary widely among the thousands of products and services provided by us, and vary country by country. Depending on the particular customer or market involved, our businesses compete on a variety of factors, such as price, quality, reliability, delivery, customer service, performance, applied technology, product innovation and product recognition. Brand identity, service to customers and quality are generally important competitive factors for our products and services, and there is considerable price competition. Other competitive factors for certain products include breadth of product line, research and development efforts and technical and managerial capability. While our competitive position varies among our products and services, we believe we are a significant competitor in each of our major product and service classes. However, a number of our products and services are sold in competition with those of a large number of other companies, some of which have substantial financial resources and significant technological capabilities. In addition, some of our products compete with the captive component divisions of original equipment manufacturers.

International Operations

      We are engaged in manufacturing, sales, service and research and development mainly in the United States, Europe, Canada, Asia and Latin America. U.S. exports and foreign manufactured products are significant to our operations. U.S. exports comprised 10 and 9 percent of our total net sales in 2005 and 2004, respectively. Foreign manufactured products and services, mainly in Europe, were 35 percent of our total net sales in both 2005 and 2004.

      Approximately 20 percent of total 2005 net sales of Aerospace-related products and services were exports of U.S. manufactured products and systems and performance of services such as aircraft repair and overhaul. Exports were principally made to Europe, Asia and Canada. Foreign manufactured products and systems and performance of services comprised 14 percent of total 2005 Aerospace net sales.

7


      Approximately 2 percent of total 2005 net sales of Automation and Control Solutions products were exports of U.S. manufactured products. Foreign manufactured products and performance of services accounted for 53 percent of total 2005 net sales of Automation and Control Solutions. The principal manufacturing facilities outside the U.S. are in Europe and Mexico, with less significant operations in Asia and Canada.

      Approximately 13 percent of total 2005 net sales of Specialty Materials products were exports of U.S. manufactured products. Exports were principally made to Asia, Europe, Latin America and Canada. Foreign manufactured products comprised 18 percent of total 2005 net sales of Specialty Materials. The principal manufacturing facilities outside the U.S. are in Europe, with less significant operations in Asia and Canada.

      Exports of U.S. manufactured products comprised 1 percent of total 2005 net sales of Transportation Systems products. Foreign manufactured products accounted for 60 percent of total 2005 net sales of Transportation Systems. The principal manufacturing facilities outside the U.S. are in Europe, with less significant operations in Asia, Latin America and Canada.

      Financial information related to geographic areas is included in Note 24 of Notes to Financial Statements in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data”. Information regarding the economic, political, regulatory and other risks associated with international operations is included in “Item 1A. Risk Factors.”

Raw Materials

      The principal raw materials used in our operations are generally readily available. We experienced no significant or unusual problems in the purchase of key raw materials and commodities in 2005. Except related to phenol, a raw material used in our Specialty Materials segment, we are not dependent on any one supplier for a material amount of our raw materials. We purchase phenol under a supply agreement with one supplier. We have no reason to believe there is any material risk to this supply.

      We are highly dependent on our suppliers and subcontractors in order to meet commitments to our customers. In addition, many major components and product equipment items are procured or subcontracted on a sole-source basis with a number of domestic and foreign companies. We maintain a qualification and performance surveillance process to control risk associated with such reliance on third parties. While we believe that sources of supply for raw materials and components are generally adequate, it is difficult to predict what effects shortages or price increases may have in the future.

      The costs of certain key raw materials, including natural gas and benzene, in our Specialty Materials' business were at historically high levels in 2005 and are expected to remain at those levels in 2006. We will continue to attempt to offset raw material cost increases with formula price agreements and price increases where feasible. At present, we have no reason to believe a shortage of raw materials will cause any material adverse impact during 2006. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors” for further discussion.

Patents, Trademarks, Licenses and Distribution Rights

      Our businesses are not dependent upon any single patent or related group of patents, or any licenses or distribution rights. We own, or are licensed under, a large number of patents, patent applications and trademarks acquired over a period of many years, which relate to many of our products or improvements to those products and which are of importance to our business. From time to time, new patents and trademarks are obtained, and patent and trademark licenses and rights are acquired from others. We also have distribution rights of varying terms for a number of products and services produced by other companies. In our judgment, those rights are adequate for the conduct of our business. We believe that, in the aggregate, the rights under our patents, trademarks and licenses are generally important to our operations, but we do not consider any patent, trademark or related group of patents, or any licensing or distribution rights related to a specific process or product, to be of material importance in relation to our total business. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors” for further discussion.

      We have registered trademarks for a number of our products, including such consumer brands as Honeywell, Prestone, FRAM, Autolite, Bendix, Jurid, Holts and Garrett.

Research and Development

      Our research activities are directed toward the discovery and development of new products and processes and the development of new uses for existing products.

      Research and development expense totaled $1,072, $917 and $751 million in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The increase in research and development expense in 2004 compared with 2003 resulted primarily from design and developments costs associated with new aircraft platforms in Aerospace and new product development costs in Automation and Control Solutions. Customer-sponsored (principally the U.S. Government) research and development activities amounted to an additional $694, $593 and $608 million in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Environment

      We are subject to various federal, state, local and foreign government requirements regulating the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment. It is our policy to comply with these requirements, and we believe that, as a general matter, our policies, practices and procedures are properly designed to prevent unreasonable risk of environmental damage, and of resulting financial liability, in connection with our business. Some risk of environmental damage is, however, inherent in some of our operations and products, as it is with other companies engaged in similar businesses.

      We are and have been engaged in the handling, manufacture, use and disposal of many substances classified as hazardous or toxic by one or more regulatory agencies. 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 these substances are in accord with environmental and safety laws and regulations. It is possible, however, that future knowledge or other developments, such as improved capability to detect substances in the environment or increasingly strict environmental laws and standards and enforcement policies, could bring into question our current or past handling, manufacture, use or disposal of these substances.

      Among other environmental requirements, we are subject to the federal superfund and similar state and foreign laws and regulations, under which we have been designated as a potentially responsible party that may be liable for cleanup costs associated with various hazardous waste sites, some of which are on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's superfund priority list. Although, under some court interpretations of these laws, there is a possibility that a responsible party might have to bear more than its proportional share of the cleanup costs if it is unable to obtain appropriate contribution from other responsible parties, we have not had to bear significantly more than our proportional share in multi-party situations taken as a whole.

      Further information regarding environmental matters is included in “Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” in Note 21 of Notes to Financial Statements in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” and in “Item 1A. Risk Factors.”

Employees

      We have approximately 116,000 employees at December 31, 2005, of which approximately 58,000 were located in the United States.

Item 1A.    Risk Factors

Cautionary Statement about Forward-Looking Statements

      We have described many of the trends and other factors that drive our business and future results in “Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, including under the headings “Economic and Other Factors”, “Areas of Focus” and “Review of Business Segments”. These sections and other parts of this report (including this Item 1A) contain

9


“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 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 significantly from those envisaged by our forward-looking statements. We do not undertake to update or revise any of our forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements are also subject to risks and uncertainties that 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 Form 10-K, including, in particular, the factors discussed below.

Risk Factors

      Our business, operating results, cash flows and financial condition are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation, those set forth below, any one of which could cause our actual results to vary materially from recent results or from our anticipated future results.

Industry and economic conditions may adversely affect the market and operating conditions of our customers, which in turn can affect demand for our products and services and our results of operations.

      The operating results of our segments are impacted by general industry and economic conditions that can cause changes in spending and capital investment patterns, demand for our products and services and the level of our manufacturing costs. The operating results of our Aerospace segment, which generated 38 percent of our consolidated revenues in 2005, are directly tied to cyclical industry and economic conditions, including global demand for air travel as reflected in new aircraft production and/or the retirement of older aircraft, global flying hours, and business and general aviation aircraft utilization rates, as well as the level and mix of U.S. Government appropriations for defense and space programs (as further discussed below). The challenging operating environment faced by the commercial airline industry is expected to continue and may be influenced by a wide variety of factors, including aircraft fuel prices, labor issues, airline insolvencies, terrorism and safety concerns, and changes in regulations. Future terrorist actions or pandemic health issues could dramatically reduce both the demand for air travel and our Aerospace aftermarket sales and margins. The operating results of our Automation and Control Solutions (ACS) segment, which generated 34 percent of our consolidated revenues in 2005, are impacted by the level of global residential and commercial construction (including retrofits and upgrades), capital spending on building and process automation, industrial plant capacity utilization and expansion, and material price inflation. Specialty Materials' operating results are impacted by global gross domestic product and capacity utilization for chemical, industrial, refining and petrochemical plants. Transportation Systems' operating results are impacted by global production and demand for automobiles and trucks equipped with turbochargers, and consumer spending for automotive aftermarket and car care products. Because approximately 28 percent of our sales are in Europe, the relative strength of the European economy and exchange rate fluctuations impact our sales and margins.

Raw material price fluctuations and the ability of key suppliers to meet quality and delivery requirements can increase the cost of our products and services and impact our ability to meet commitments to customers.

      The cost of raw materials is a key element in the cost of our products, particularly in our Specialty Materials (benzene and natural gas) and Transportation Systems (steel and other metals) segments. Our inability to offset material price inflation with pricing or productivity actions could adversely affect our results of operations.

      Our manufacturing operations are also highly dependent upon the delivery of materials by outside suppliers and their assembly of major components and subsystems used in our products in a timely manner and in full compliance with purchase order terms and conditions, quality standards, and

10


applicable laws and regulations. We also depend in limited instances on sole source suppliers. Our suppliers may fail to perform according to specifications as and when required and we may be unable to identify alternate suppliers or to mitigate the consequences of their non-performance. The supply chains for our businesses could also be disrupted by external events such as natural disasters, pandemic health issues, terrorist actions, labor disputes or governmental actions. Our inability to fill our supply needs would jeopardize our ability to fulfill obligations under commercial and government contracts, which could, in turn, result in reduced sales and profits, contract penalties or terminations, and damage to customer relationships.

Our future growth is largely dependent upon our ability to develop new technologies that achieve market acceptance with acceptable margins.

      Our businesses operate in global markets that are characterized by rapidly changing technologies and evolving industry standards. Accordingly, our future growth rate depends upon a number of factors, including our ability to (i) identify emerging technological trends in our target end-markets, (ii) develop and maintain competitive products, (iii) enhance our products by adding innovative features that differentiate our products from those of our competitors, and (iv) develop, manufacture and bring products to market quickly and cost-effectively.

      Our ability to develop new products based on technological innovation can affect our competitive position and requires the investment of significant resources. These development efforts divert resources from other potential investments in our businesses, and they may not lead to the development of new technologies or products on a timely basis or that meet the needs of our customers as fully as competitive offerings. In addition, the markets for our products may not develop or grow as we currently anticipate. The failure of our technologies or products to gain market acceptance or their obsolescence due to more attractive offerings by our competitors could significantly reduce our revenues and adversely affect our competitive standing and prospects.

      Protecting our intellectual property is critical to our innovation efforts. We own or are licensed under a large number of U.S. and foreign patents and patent applications, trademarks and copyrights. Our intellectual property rights may be challenged, invalidated or infringed upon by third parties or we may be unable to maintain, renew or enter into new licenses of third party proprietary intellectual property on commercially reasonable terms. In some non-U.S. countries, laws affecting intellectual property are uncertain in their application, which can affect the scope or enforceability of our patents and other intellectual property rights. Any of these events or factors could diminish or cause us to lose the competitive advantages associated with our intellectual property, subject us to judgments, penalties and significant litigation costs, and/or temporarily or permanently disrupt our sales and marketing of the affected products or services.

An increasing percentage of our sales and operations is in non-U.S. jurisdictions and is subject to the economic, political, regulatory and other risks of international operations.

      Our international operations, including U.S. exports, comprise a growing proportion of our operating results and our strategy calls for increasing sales to and operations in overseas markets, including developing markets such as China, India and the Middle East. As this trend continues, our exposure to the risks attendant to international operations also increases. These risks include fluctuations in currency value, exchange control regulations, wage and price controls, employment regulations, foreign investment laws, import and trade restrictions (including embargoes), and government instability. The cost of compliance with increasingly complex and often conflicting regulations worldwide can also impair our flexibility in modifying product, marketing, pricing or other strategies for growing our businesses, as well as our ability to improve productivity and maintain acceptable operating margins.

We may be required to recognize impairment charges for our long-lived assets.

      At December 31, 2005, the net carrying value of long-lived assets (property, plant and equipment, goodwill and other intangible assets) totaled approximately $14.3 billion. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, we periodically assess our long-lived assets to determine if they are

11


impaired. Significant negative industry or economic trends, disruptions to our business, unexpected significant changes or planned changes in use of the assets, divestitures and market capitalization declines may result in charges to goodwill and other asset impairments. Future impairment charges could significantly affect our results of operations in the periods recognized. Impairment charges would also reduce our consolidated net worth and our shareowners' equity and increase our debt-to-total-capitalization ratio, which could negatively impact our access to the public debt and equity markets.

A change in the level of U.S. Government defense and space funding or the mix of programs to which such funding is allocated could adversely impact sales of Aerospace's defense and space-related product and services.

      Sales of our defense and space-related products and services are largely dependent upon government budgets, particularly the U.S. defense budget. Sales as a prime contractor and subcontractor to the U. S. Department of Defense comprised approximately 28 and 11 percent of Aerospace and total sales, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2005. Although U.S. defense spending increased in 2005 and is expected to increase again in 2006, we cannot predict the extent to which funding for individual programs will be included, increased or reduced as part of the 2007 and subsequent budgets ultimately approved by Congress, or be included in the scope of separate supplemental appropriations. We also cannot predict the impact of potential changes in priorities due to military transformation and planning and/or the nature of war-related activity on existing, follow-on or replacement programs. A shift in defense spending to programs in which we do not participate and/or reductions in funding for or termination of existing programs could adversely impact our results of operations.

As a supplier of military and other equipment to the U. S. Government, we are subject to unusual risks, such as the right of the U.S. Government to terminate contracts for convenience and to conduct audits and investigations of our operations and performance.

      In addition to normal business risks, companies like Honeywell that supply military and other equipment to the U.S. Government are subject to unusual risks, including dependence on Congressional appropriations and administrative allotment of funds, changes in governmental procurement legislations and regulations and other policies that reflect military and political developments, significant changes in contract scheduling, complexity of designs and the rapidity with which they become obsolete, necessity for constant design improvements, intense competition for U.S. Government business necessitating increases in time and investment for design and development, difficulty of forecasting costs and schedules when bidding on developmental and highly sophisticated technical work, and other factors characteristic of the industry. Changes are customary over the life of U.S. Government contracts, particularly development contracts, and generally result in adjustments of contract prices.

      Our contracts with the U.S. Government are subject to audits. Like many other government contractors, we have received audit reports that recommend downward price adjustments to certain contracts to comply with various government regulations. We have made adjustments and paid voluntary refunds in appropriate cases and may do so in the future.

      U.S. Government contracts are subject to termination by the government, either for the convenience of the government or for our failure to perform under the applicable contract. In the case of a termination for convenience, we are typically entitled to reimbursement for our allowable costs incurred, plus termination costs and a reasonable profit. If a contract is terminated by the government for our failure to perform we could be liable for additional costs incurred by the government in acquiring undelivered goods or services from any other source and any other damages suffered by the government.

      We are also subject to government investigations of business practices and compliance with government procurement regulations. If Honeywell or one of its businesses were charged with wrongdoing as a result of any such investigation or other government investigations (including violations of certain environmental or export laws), it could be suspended from bidding on or receiving awards of new government contracts pending the completion of legal proceedings. The U.S.

12


Government also reserves the right to debar a contractor from receiving new government contracts for fraudulent, criminal or other egregious misconduct. Debarment generally does not exceed three years.

Changes in legislation or government regulations or policies can have a significant impact on our results of operations.

      The sales and margins of each of our segments are directly impacted by government regulations. Safety and performance regulations (including mandates of the Federal Aviation Administration and other similar international regulatory bodies requiring the installation of equipment on aircraft), product certification requirements and government procurement practices can impact Aerospace sales, research and development expenditures, operating costs and profitability. The demand for and cost of providing Automation and Control Solutions products, services and solutions can be impacted by fire, security, safety, health care and energy efficiency standards and regulations. Specialty Materials' results of operations can be affected by environmental (e.g., government regulation of refrigerants), safety and energy efficiency standards and regulations, while emissions and energy efficiency standards and regulations can impact the demand for turbochargers in our Transportation Systems segment.

Completed acquisitions may not perform as anticipated or be integrated as planned.

      We regularly review our portfolio of businesses and pursue growth through acquisitions and seek to divest non-core businesses. We may not be able to complete transactions on favorable terms, on a timely basis or at all. In addition, our results of operations and cash flows may be adversely impacted by (i) the failure of acquired businesses to meet or exceed expected returns, (ii) the failure to integrate acquired businesses into Honeywell on schedule and/or to achieve synergies within the plan and timeframe, and/or (iii) the inability to dispose of non-core assets and businesses on satisfactory terms and conditions and within the expected time frame.

We cannot predict the outcome of litigation matters, government proceedings and other contingencies with certainty.

      We are subject to a number of 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 benefits plans, and environmental, health and safety matters. Resolution of these matters can be prolonged and costly, and the ultimate results or judgments are uncertain. Moreover, our potential liabilities are subject to change over time due to new developments, changes in settlement strategy or the impact of evidentiary requirements, and we may be required to pay damage awards or settlements, or become subject to damage awards or settlements, that could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. While we maintain insurance for certain risks, the amount of our insurance coverage may not be adequate to cover the total amount of all insured claims and liabilities. It also is not possible to obtain insurance to protect against all operational risks and liabilities. The incurrence of significant liabilities for which there is no or insufficient insurance coverage could adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows, liquidity and financial condition.

Our operations and the prior operations of predecessor companies expose us to the risk of material environmental liabilities.

      Mainly because of past operations and operations of predecessor companies, we are subject to potentially material liabilities related to the remediation of environmental hazards and to personal injuries or property damages that may be caused by hazardous substance releases and exposures. We have incurred remedial response and voluntary clean-up 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. We are subject to various federal, state, local and foreign government requirements regulating the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment. These laws and regulations can

13


impose substantial fines and criminal sanctions for violations, and require installation of costly equipment or operational changes to limit emissions and/or decrease the likelihood of accidental hazardous substance releases. We incur, and expect to continue to incur capital and operating costs to comply with these laws and regulations. In addition, changes in laws, regulations and enforcement of policies, the discovery of previously unknown contamination or new technology or information related to individual sites, or the imposition of new clean-up requirements or remedial techniques could require us to incur costs in the future that would have a negative effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

Item 2.    Properties

      We have approximately 1,200 locations consisting of plants, research laboratories, sales offices and other facilities. Our headquarters and administrative complex is located at Morris Township, New Jersey. Our plants are generally located to serve large marketing areas and to provide accessibility to raw materials and labor pools. Our properties are generally maintained in good operating condition. Utilization of these plants may vary with sales to customers and other business conditions; however, no major operating facility is significantly idle. We own or lease warehouses, railroad cars, barges, automobiles, trucks, airplanes and materials handling and data processing equipment. We also lease space for administrative and sales staffs. Our properties and equipment are in good operating condition and are adequate for our present needs. We do not anticipate difficulty in renewing existing leases as they expire or in finding alternative facilities.

Item 3.    Legal Proceedings

      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 21 of Notes to Financial Statements in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”

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 November 2005, the Court dismissed the most significant remaining claims in ADEQ's amended complaint. 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.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles is based on the selection and application of accounting policies that require us to make significant estimates and assumptions about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. We consider the accounting policies discussed below to be critical to the understanding of our financial statements. Actual results could differ from our estimates and assumptions, and any such differences could be material to our consolidated financial statements.

      We have discussed the selection, application and disclosure of these critical accounting policies with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors and our Independent Registered Public Accountants. There were no new accounting standards effective in 2005 which had a material impact on our consolidated financial statements other than those described in the Recent Accounting Pronouncements section in Note 1 of Notes to Financial Statements in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data”.

      Contingent Liabilities—We are subject to a number of lawsuits, investigations and claims (some of which involve substantial dollar amounts) that arise out of the conduct of our global business operations or those of previously owned entities. These contingencies relate to product liabilities, including asbestos, commercial transactions, government contracts and environmental 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 any adverse judgments or outcomes to our contingencies, as well as potential amounts or ranges of probable losses, and recognize a liability, if any, for these contingencies based on a careful analysis of each matter with the assistance of outside legal counsel and, if applicable, other experts. Such analysis includes making judgments concerning matters such as the costs associated with environmental matters, the outcome of negotiations, the number and cost of pending and future (where estimable) asbestos claims, and the impact of evidentiary requirements. Because most contingencies are resolved over long periods of time, liabilities may change in the future due to new developments or changes in our settlement strategy. For a discussion of our contingencies related to environmental, asbestos and other matters, including management's judgment applied in the recognition and measurement of specific liabilities, see Notes 1 and 21 of Notes to Financial Statements in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data”.

      Insurance for Asbestos Related Liabilities—In connection with recognition of liabilities for asbestos related matters, we record asbestos related insurance recoveries that are deemed probable. In assessing the probability of insurance recovery, we make judgments concerning insurance coverage that we believe are reasonable and consistent with our historical experience with our insurers, our knowledge of any pertinent solvency issues surrounding insurers, various judicial determinations relevant to our insurance programs and our consideration of the impacts of any settlements with our insurers. We have approximately $1.2 billion in insurance coverage remaining that can be specifically allocated to North American Refractories Company (NARCO) related asbestos liabilities. We also have

21


$1.9 billion in coverage remaining for Bendix related asbestos liabilities although there are gaps in our coverage due to insurance company insolvencies, certain uninsured periods and insurance settlements, resulting in approximately 50 percent of these claims on a cumulative historical basis being reimbursable by insurance. Our insurance is with both the domestic insurance market and the London excess market. 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. Projecting future events is subject to various uncertainties that could cause the insurance recovery on asbestos related liabilities to be higher or lower than that projected and recorded. Given the inherent uncertainty in making future projections, we reevaluate our projections concerning our probable insurance recoveries in light of any changes to the projected liability, our recovery experience or other relevant factors that may impact future insurance recoveries. See Note 21 of Notes to Financial Statements in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” for a discussion of management's judgments applied in the recognition and measurement of insurance recoveries for asbestos related liabilities.

      Defined Benefit Pension Plans—We maintain defined benefit pension plans covering a majority of our employees and retirees. For financial reporting purposes, net periodic pension expense is calculated based upon a number of actuarial assumptions including a discount rate for plan obligations and an expected rate of return on plan assets. We consider current market conditions, including changes in investment returns and interest rates, in making these assumptions. We determine the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets utilizing historic plan asset returns over varying long-term periods combined with current market conditions and broad asset mix considerations (see Note 22 of Notes to Financial Statements in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” for actual and targeted asset allocation percentages for our pension plans). The expected rate of return on plan assets is a long-term assumption and generally does not change annually. The discount rate reflects the market rate on our annual measurement date (December 31) for high-quality fixed-income investments with maturities corresponding to our benefit obligations and is subject to change each year. The expected rate of return on pension assets and discount rate were determined in accordance with consistent methodologies. Further information on all our major actuarial assumption is included in Note 22 of Notes to Financial Statements in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data”.

      The key assumptions used in developing our 2005, 2004 and 2003 net periodic pension expense for our U.S. plans included the following:

      2005

  2004

  2003

      

Discount rate

       5.875%          6.00%          6.75%  
      

Assets:

                       
      

Expected rate of return

       9%          9%          9%  
      

Actual rate of return

       8%          13%          23%  
      

Actual 10 year average annual compounded rate of return

       10%          11%          10%  
      

                       

      The reduction in the discount rate in both 2005 and 2004 reflects the lower market interest rate environment for high-quality fixed income debt instruments. The discount rate is also volatile because it is determined based upon the prevailing rate as of the measurement date. Due to continuing declines in interest rates, we will use a 5.75 percent discount rate in 2006. We plan to continue to use an expected rate of return on plan assets of 9 percent for 2006. The unrecognized net losses for our U.S. pension plans were $2.6 billion at both December 31, 2005 and 2004 as a decrease in unrecognized net losses due to loss amortization in 2005 was offset by additional unrecognized net losses due to the lower discount rate and the adoption of the RP2000 Mortality Table as of December 31, 2005. The unrecognized net losses at December 31, 2005 principally result from the decline each year since 2001 in the discount rate and from actual plan asset returns below expected rates of return during 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2005. Such unrecognized net losses are being systematically recognized in future net periodic pension expense in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87, “Employers Accounting for Pensions” (SFAS No. 87). Under SFAS No. 87, we use the market-related value of plan assets reflecting changes in the fair value of plan assets over a three-year period. Further, unrecognized net losses in excess of 10 percent of the greater of the market-related value of plan assets or the plans projected benefit obligation are recognized over a six-year period.

22


      Changes in net periodic pension expense may occur in the future due to changes in our expected rate of return on plan assets and discount rate resulting from economic events. The following table highlights the sensitivity of our U.S. pension obligations and expense to changes in these assumptions, assuming all other assumptions remain constant:

Change in Assumption

     Impact on Annual
Pension Expense

     Impact on PBO

0.25 percentage point decrease in discount rate

     Increase $50 million      Increase $325 million

0.25 percentage point increase in discount rate

     Decrease $50 million      Decrease $325 million

0.25 percentage point decrease in expected rate of return on assets

     Increase $30 million     

0.25 percentage point increase in expected rate of return on assets

     Decrease $30 million     

       

      Net periodic pension expense for our pension plans is expected to be approximately $320 million in 2006, a $84 million decrease from 2005 due principally to a decrease in the amortization of unrecognized net losses. The decline in the amortization of unrecognized net losses results principally from actual plan asset returns higher than the expected rate of return in 2003 and 2004.

      In 2005, 2004 and 2003 we were not required to make a contribution to satisfy minimum statutory funding requirements in our U.S. pension plans. We made voluntary contributions of $40 and $670 million to our U.S. pension plans in 2004 and 2003, respectively. The 2003 voluntary contribution was made to improve the funded status of the plans which had been impacted by the poor performance of the equity markets during the three-year period ended December 31, 2002, as well as the declining interest rate environment. Future plan contributions are dependent upon actual plan asset returns and interest rates. Assuming that actual plan returns are consistent with our expected plan return of 9 percent in 2006 and beyond, and that interest rates remain constant, we would not be required to make any contributions to our U.S. pension plans to satisfy minimum statutory funding requirements for the foreseeable future. However, we expect to make voluntary contributions of approximately $45 million in cash in 2006 to certain of our U.S. pension plans for government contracting purposes. We also expect to contribute approximately $150 million in cash in 2006 to our non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans primarily related to funding requirements of recently acquired companies.

      Long-Lived Assets (including Tangible and Definite-Lived Intangible Assets)—To conduct our global business operations and execute our business strategy, we acquire tangible and intangible assets, including property, plant and equipment and definite-lived intangible assets. At December 31, 2005, the net carrying amount of these long-lived assets totaled $6,527 million. The determination of useful lives (for depreciation/amortization purposes) and whether or not these assets are impaired involves the use of accounting estimates and assumptions which bear the risk of change which could materially impact our financial condition or operating performance if actual results differ from such estimates and assumptions. We periodically evaluate the recoverability of the carrying amount of our long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset group may not be fully recoverable. The principal factors we consider in deciding when to perform an impairment review are as follows:

significant under-performance (i.e., declines in sales, earnings or cash flows) of a business or product line in relation to expectations;
 
annual operating plans or five-year strategic plans that indicate an unfavorable trend in operating performance of a business or product line;
 
significant negative industry or economic trends; and
 
significant changes or planned changes in our use of the assets.

      Once it is determined that an impairment review is necessary, recoverability of assets is measured by comparing the carrying amount of the asset grouping to the estimated future undiscounted cash flows. If the carrying amount exceeds the estimated future undiscounted cash flows, the asset grouping is considered to be impaired. The impairment is then measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the asset grouping and its fair value. We use the best information available to determine fair value, which are usually either market prices (if available) or an estimate of the future discounted cash

23


flow. The key estimates in our discounted cash flow analysis include expected industry growth rates, our assumptions as to volume, selling prices and costs, and the discount rate selected. As described in more detail in the repositioning and other charges section of our MD&A, we have recorded impairment charges related to long-lived assets of $23 and $42 million in 2005 and 2004, respectively, principally related to our Performance Fibers, Research and Life Sciences and Resins and Chemicals businesses in our Specialty Materials reportable segment. These businesses were significantly under-performing or were in industries with negative economic trends and subsequently these businesses were sold or significantly restructured.

      Income Taxes—As of December 31, 2005, we recognized a net deferred tax asset of $1,706 million, less a valuation allowance of $477 million. Net deferred tax assets are primarily comprised of net deductible temporary differences, net operating loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards that are available to reduce taxable income in future periods. The determination of the amount of valuation allowance to be provided on recorded deferred tax assets involves estimates regarding (1) the timing and amount of the reversal of taxable temporary differences, (2) future taxable income, and (3) the impact of tax planning strategies. A valuation allowance is required when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including past operating results, projections of future taxable income and the feasibility of ongoing tax planning strategies. The projections of future taxable income include a number of estimates and assumptions regarding our volume, pricing and costs. Additionally, valuation allowances related to deferred tax assets can be impacted by changes to tax laws.

      Our net deferred tax asset of $1,706 million is comprised of $1,102 million related to U.S. operations and $604 million related to non-U.S. operations. The U.S. net deferred tax asset of $1,102 million is comprised of net deductible temporary differences, tax credit carryforwards and state tax net operating losses which we believe will more likely than not be realized through the generation of future taxable income in the U.S. and tax planning strategies. We maintain a valuation allowance of $39 million against such asset related to state tax net operating losses. The non-U.S. net deferred tax asset of $604 million is comprised principally of net operating and capital loss carryforwards, mainly in Germany, France and the United Kingdom. We maintain a valuation allowance of $438 million against such net asset reflecting our historical experience and lower expectations of taxable income over the applicable carryforward periods. As more fully described in Note 7 of Notes to Financial Statements in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data”, our valuation allowance increased by $139, $39 and $108 million in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. In the event we determine that we will not be able to realize our net deferred tax assets in the future, we will reduce such amounts through a charge to income in the period such determination is made. Conversely, if we determine that we will be able to realize net deferred tax assets in excess of the carrying amounts, we will decrease the recorded valuation allowance through a credit to income or a credit to goodwill in the period that such determination is made. If a valuation allowance is recognized for the net deferred tax asset for an acquired entity's deductible temporary differences, operating loss, capital loss, or tax credit carryforwards at the acquisition date, the tax benefits for those items recognized after the acquisition date shall be applied first to reduce to zero goodwill related to the acquisition, second to reduce to zero other non-current intangible assets related to the acquisition, and third to reduce income tax expense.

      Sales Recognition on Long-Term Contracts—In 2005, we recognized approximately 10 percent of our total net sales using the percentage-of-completion method for long-term contracts in our Automation and Control Solutions and Aerospace reportable segments. These long-term contracts are measured on the cost-to-cost basis for engineering-type contracts and the units-of-delivery basis for production-type contracts. Accounting for these contracts involves management judgment in estimating total contract revenue and cost. Contract revenues are largely determined by negotiated contract prices and quantities, modified by our assumptions regarding contract options, change orders, incentive and award provisions associated with technical performance and price adjustment clauses (such as inflation or index-based clauses). Contract costs are incurred over a period of time, which can be several years, and the estimation of these costs requires management judgment. Cost estimates are largely based on negotiated or estimated purchase contract terms, historical performance trends and other economic projections. Significant factors that influence these estimates include inflationary

24


trends, technical and schedule risk, internal and subcontractor performance trends, business volume assumptions, asset utilization, and anticipated labor agreements. Revenue and cost estimates are regularly monitored and revised based on changes in circumstances. Anticipated losses on long-term contracts are recognized when such losses become evident. We maintain financial controls over the customer qualification, contract pricing and estimation processes to reduce the risk of contract losses.

      Aerospace Sales Incentives—Consistent with other suppliers to commercial aircraft manufacturers and airlines, we provide 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 consist of free or deeply discounted products, product credits and upfront cash payments. The cost of these incentives are capitalized (in the case of auxiliary power units only when we are the sole source supplier) at the time we deliver the products to our customers or, in the case of product credits, at the time the credit is issued, or in the case of upfront cash payments, at the time the payment is made. In the case of free or deeply discounted product, the cost to manufacture less any amount recovered from the airframe manufacturer or airline is capitalized. Product credits and upfront cash payments are capitalized at exchanged value. Research, design, development and qualification costs related to these products are expensed as incurred, unless contractually guaranteed of reimbursement. The cost of the sales incentives described above is capitalized because the selection of our aircraft wheel and braking system hardware and auxiliary power units for installation on commercial aircraft results in the creation of future revenues and cash flows through aftermarket sales to fulfill long-term product maintenance requirements mandated by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and other similar international organizations over the useful life of the aircraft. Once our products are certified and selected on an aircraft, the recovery of our investment is virtually guaranteed over the useful life of the aircraft. The likelihood of displacement by an alternative supplier is remote due to contractual sole-sourcing, the high cost to alternative suppliers and aircraft operators of product retrofits, and/or rigorous regulatory specifications, qualification and testing requirements. Amounts capitalized at December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 were $803, $776 and $719 million, respectively, and are being amortized over their useful lives on a straight-line basis, up to 25 years, representing the estimated minimum service life of the aircraft. This useful life is the period over which we are virtually assured to earn revenues from the aftermarket sales of certified products necessary to fulfill the maintenance required by the FAA and other similar international organizations. We classify the amortization expense associated with free and discounted products as cost of goods sold and the amortization expense associated with product credits and upfront cash payments as a reduction of sales. We regularly evaluate the recoverability of capitalized amounts whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the incentives may not be fully recoverable. There were no impairment charges related to these capitalized incentives recognized during 2005, 2004 and 2003. For additional information see Notes 1 and 13 of Notes to Financial Statements in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”

      Gross margin increased in 2005 by 2.8 percentage points compared with 2004. The increase resulted from an increase of 1.1 percentage points in gross margin for our reportable segments (see Review of Business Segments for a discussion of our segment results). The increase also resulted from lower repositioning and other charges of 1.2 percentage points and lower pension and other postretirement benefits expense of 0.5 percentage points. Gross margin decreased in 2004 by 1.5 percentage points compared with 2003. The decrease resulted primarily from an increase in repositioning and other charges of 1.2 percentage points and higher pension and other postretirement benefits expense of 0.9 percentage points partially offset by an increase of 0.6 percentage points in gross margin for our reportable segments (see Review of Business Segments for a discussion of our segment results).

      Pension expense decreased by $8 million in 2005 compared with 2004 due principally to a decrease in the amortization of unrecognized net losses partially offset by pension expense for Novar, which was acquired in 2005. Pension expense increased by $276 million in 2004 compared with 2003 due primarily to an increase in the amortization of unrecognized net losses resulting mainly from actual plan asset returns below the expected rate of return during the period 2000 to 2002 and a decrease in the discount rate for each year since 2001.

      Other postretirement benefits expense decreased by $59 million in 2005 compared with 2004 due primarily to the effect of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003. See Note 22 of Notes to Financial Statements in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” for further discussion.

(Gain) loss on sale of non-strategic businesses

     $ (36 )      $ (255 )      $ (38 )
      

                       

      Gain on sale of non-strategic businesses of $36 million in 2005 represents pretax gains totaling $66 million consisting of post-closing adjustments of $43 million related principally to the sales of our Performance Fibers and Security Monitoring businesses in the prior year and a pretax gain of $23 million related to the sale of our North American Nylon Carpet Fiber business, partially offset by a pretax loss of $30 million related to the sale of our Industrial Wax business. The dispositions of these businesses did not materially impact net sales and segment profit in 2005 compared with 2004. Gain on sale of non-strategic businesses of $255 million in 2004 represented the pretax gains on the sales of our Security Monitoring and VCSEL Optical Products businesses of $215 and $36 million, respectively and post-closing adjustments of $19 million related to businesses sold in prior periods. The total pretax gain of $270 million was partially offset by the pretax loss of $15 million on the sale of our Performance Fibers business. The dispositions of these businesses did not materially impact net sales and segment profit in 2004 compared with 2003.

Equity in (income) loss of affiliated companies

     $ (134 )      $ (82 )      $ (38 )
      

                       

      Equity income increased by $52 million in 2005 compared with 2004 due primarily to higher earnings of $36 million from our UOP process technology joint venture (UOP) due to strength in the refining and petrochemical industries and a gain of $15 million on the sale of an equity investment. Effective November 30, 2005, we purchased the remaining 50 percent interest in UOP and

      Other income decreased by $31 million in 2005 compared with 2004 as the prior year included a gain of $27 million related to the settlement of a patent infringement lawsuit and the current year included a charge of $10 million for the modification of a lease agreement related to the Corporate headquarters facility. Other income increased by $111 million in 2004 compared with 2003 due principally to a decrease in foreign exchange losses of $93 million due to a reduction in foreign exchange exposures resulting in losses in 2003 due to a weak U.S. dollar, a gain of $27 million related to the settlement of a patent infringement lawsuit and an increase in interest income of $13 million from higher cash balances, partially offset by the inclusion of a gain of $20 million in the prior year related to the settlement of a patent infringement lawsuit.

      Interest and other financial charges increased by 8 percent in 2005 compared with 2004 due principally to both higher average short-term debt outstanding and higher interest rates in the current year. Interest and other financial charges decreased by 1 percent in 2004 compared with 2003 due principally to lower average short-term debt outstanding in 2004.

Effective tax rate

       31.9 %          23.8 %          18.0 %
      

                       

      The effective tax rate increased by 8.1 percentage points in 2005 compared with 2004 due principally to the tax impact of our decision to repatriate approximately $2.7 billion of foreign earnings, of which $2.2 billion receives the benefit under the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004. Excluding this item and the impact of gains and losses on sales of non-strategic businesses in both years, our effective tax rate increased by 6.5 percentage points in 2005 compared with 2004. This increase is due principally to a higher effective tax benefit rate on environmental, litigation, net repositioning and other charges in the prior year. The effective tax rate increased by 5.8 percentage points in 2004 compared with 2003 principally due to the fact that the effective tax rate in 2003 included tax benefits expected to be realized as a result of the redesignation of our Friction Materials business from held for sale to held and used resulting from the termination of disposition discussions with Federal-Mogul Corp.

      Excluding the impact of cash repatriation, gains and losses on sales of non-strategic businesses, tax benefits associated with the redesignation of our Friction Materials business, and environmental, litigation, net repositioning and other charges, the effective tax rate in 2005, 2004 and 2003 was 26.5 percent. This rate was lower than the statutory rate in those years due in part to benefits from export sales, foreign taxes and favorable audit settlements. See Note 7 of Notes to Financial Statements in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” for further information on taxes including a detailed effective tax rate reconciliation.

      The increase of $0.37 per share in 2005 compared with 2004 relates primarily to an increase in segment profit for our reportable segments. See Review of Business Segments for a discussion of our segment results. The decrease of $0.07 per share in 2004 compared with 2003 relates primarily to increased charges for environmental matters primarily attributable to the denial of our appeal in the matter entitled Interfaith Community Organization et. al. v. Honeywell International Inc. et. al. (See Note 21 of Notes to Financial Statements in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data”) and higher pension and other postretirement benefits expense, partially offset by an increase in segment profit.

Income From Discontinued Operations

      Income from discontinued operations of $95 million, or $0.11 per share, in 2005 relates to the operating results of the Indalex and Security Printing businesses which have been classified as discontinued operations. In December 2005, the Security Printing business was sold to M&F Worldwide Corp. In February 2006, the Indalex business was sold to Sun Capital Partners, Inc. See Note 2 of Notes to Financial Statements in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data for further discussion of these sales.

      Details of the changes in sales for both 2005 and 2004 by customer end-markets were as follows:

Air transport aftermarket sales improved in 2005 due primarily to a 7 percent increase in global flying hours partially offset by a decrease in the level of FAA-mandated safety avionics equipment upgrades and retrofits. New FAA regulatory standards were effective for 2005 which resulted in higher levels of upgrades and retrofits in 2004 to meet the effective date. Air transport aftermarket sales improved substantially in 2004 primarily related to a 10 percent increase in global flying hours, the reintroduction of aircraft into service which were previously parked in the desert, a replenishment of spare parts inventories by the airlines and growth in low cost carriers. Additionally, global flying hours in 2003 were adversely impacted as a result of the SARS epidemic. Sales also improved due to an increase in FAA-mandated safety avionics equipment upgrades and retrofits to meet new regulatory standards as discussed previously.
 
Air transport original equipment (OE) sales increased in both 2005 and 2004 primarily reflecting higher aircraft production rates by our OE customers.
 
Regional transport aftermarket sales were flat in 2005 primarily due to an increase in flying hours offset by the effects of a phase-out of regional aircraft with turboprop engines. Regional transport aftermarket sales increased in 2004 due primarily to an increase in fleet sizes and routes of regional carriers and the introduction of the Primus Epic integrated avionics system.
 
Business and general aviation aftermarket sales were higher in both 2005 and 2004 as an improving economy drove increased utilization of corporate aircraft. Also, there was an increase in upgrade activity in avionics equipment (RVSM) in 2004 to meet new regulatory standards effective in 2005.
 
Business and general aviation OE sales improved in both 2005 and 2004 due primarily to deliveries of the Primus Epic integrated avionics system and HTF7000 engine to support higher aircraft production rates by our business jet OE customers.
 
Defense and space aftermarket sales were flat in 2005 principally due to a decline in war-related activities resulting in lower replenishment demand from the U.S. military. Defense and space aftermarket sales increased in 2004 driven by war-related activities resulting in increases in repairs, platform upgrades and modifications for fixed, rotary wing and ground vehicles.

30


Defense and space OE sales increased in both 2005 and 2004 due principally to platform upgrades related to war-related activities, growth in precision munitions and increases in restricted space programs.

      Aerospace segment profit in 2005 increased by 15 percent compared with 2004 due primarily to volume growth and the effect of productivity actions, partially offset by an increase in spending for information technology systems. Aerospace segment profit in 2004 increased by 21 percent compared with 2003 due primarily to volume growth partially offset by higher development expense associated with new programs and an increase in spending for information technology systems.

      Trends which may impact Aerospace operating results in 2006 include:

Global flying hours improved by 7 percent in 2005 and are expected to increase again in 2006 (5 to 6 percent).
 
The financial condition of major commercial airlines continues to be a concern due mainly to high fuel costs and intense fare competition.
 
The level and mix of U.S. government appropriations for defense and space programs and the nature and level of war-related activities.
 
Aircraft production rates and delivery schedules in the air transport, business and general aviation end-markets.
 
The impact of global economic conditions on utilization of business jet and general aviation aircraft.

      Automation and Control Solutions sales in 2005 increased by 17 percent compared with 2004 due to acquisitions (mainly Novar's IBS business), net of divestitures, of 13 percent, higher volumes of 4 percent and the favorable effect of foreign exchange of 1 percent, partially offset by the impact of lower prices of 1 percent. Sales increased by 26 percent for our Products businesses driven primarily by the acquisition of Novar's IBS business. The increase was also due to volume growth and other acquisitions in our security and life safety businesses. Sales for our Building Solutions business increased by 10 percent due primarily to the acquisition of Novar's IBS business and growth in security and energy retrofits partially offset by the divestiture of our Security Monitoring business in the prior year. Sales for our Process Solutions business increased by 4 percent primarily due to an acquisition and the favorable effect of foreign exchange. Automation and Control Solutions sales in 2004 increased by 8 percent compared with 2003 due to higher volumes of 5 percent and the favorable effect of foreign exchange of 4 percent, partially offset by the impact of lower prices of 1 percent. Sales increased by 9 percent for our Products businesses due principally to strong sales of fire solutions, environmental controls and sensor products, and the favorable effects of foreign exchange and acquisitions. Sales for our Process Solutions business increased by 8 percent due primarily to the favorable effect of foreign exchange and improvement in industrial production and capital spending. Sales for our Building Solutions business increased by 5 percent due primarily to the favorable effect of foreign exchange and the impact of investments in sales and marketing initiatives, partially offset by the divestiture of our Security Monitoring business.

      Automation and Control Solutions segment profit in 2005 increased by 19 percent compared with 2004 as the favorable effects of productivity actions, acquisitions (principally IBS) and higher sales volume (due in part to new products) more than offset the unfavorable effects of lower prices and investments in sales and marketing initiatives. Automation and Control Solutions segment profit in 2004 increased by 6 percent compared with 2003 due to the favorable effect of higher sales volumes partially offset by increased investments in sales and marketing initiatives and higher research and

31


development costs to support new product introductions. Segment profit was also adversely impacted in 2003 by pricing pressures across all businesses.

      Trends which may impact Automation and Control Solutions operating results in 2006 include:

The level of residential and commercial construction (including retrofits and upgrades) and capital spending on building and process automation.
 
The level of industrial plant capacity expansion.

      Specialty Materials sales decreased by 8 percent in 2005 compared with 2004 due to divestitures (Performance Fibers, Industrial Wax and North American Nylon Carpet Fiber businesses), net of acquisitions (UOP) of 12 percent and lower volumes of 3 percent, partially offset by the impact of higher prices of 7 percent primarily in our Resins and Chemicals (previously Nylon) and Fluorocarbons (previously Chemicals) businesses. Sales for our Resins and Chemicals business increased by 9 percent driven by price increases. Sales for our Fluorocarbons business improved by 6 percent principally driven by price increases and demand for our non-ozone depleting HFC products for refrigeration and air conditioning applications, as well as for blowing agents for insulation applications. Sales for our Performance Products business decreased by 4 percent primarily driven by lower volumes in our specialty films business. Specialty Materials sales in 2004 increased by 10 percent compared with 2003 due to the impact of higher prices of 6 percent (mainly in our Resins and Chemicals business), higher volumes of 5 percent and the favorable effect of foreign exchange of 1 percent, partially offset by prior year divestitures, net of acquisitions, of 2 percent. Sales for our Fluorocarbons business improved by 19 percent driven principally by continuing strong demand for our non-ozone depleting HFC products for refrigeration and air conditioning applications, as well as for blowing agents for insulation applications. Sales for our Electronic Materials business increased by 13 percent driven by improvement in the semiconductor industry. Sales for our Performance Products business were also higher by 13 percent due to strong demand for our Spectra fiber, principally from the U.S. military.

      Specialty Materials segment profit in 2005 increased by 40 percent compared with 2004 due principally to price increases and the favorable effect of productivity actions partially offset by higher raw material costs and lower sales volumes. Specialty Materials segment profit in 2004 increased by 35 percent compared with 2003 due principally to higher sales volumes and price increases, partially offset by higher raw material costs mainly in our Resins and Chemicals business. Additionally segment profit in 2003 was adversely impacted by temporary plant shutdowns in our Fluorocarbons and Resins and Chemicals businesses.

      Trends which may impact Specialty Materials operating results in 2006 include:

Degree of volatility in significant raw material costs (natural gas and benzene).
 
Extent of change in order rates from global semiconductor customers.
 
Worldwide demand for non-ozone depleting HFCs.
 
Refining and petrochemical capacity, utilization and/or expansion.

      Transportation Systems sales in 2005 increased by 4 percent compared with 2004 due primarily to favorable sales mix of 2 percent, the favorable effect of foreign exchange of 1 percent and the impact of higher prices of 1 percent (principally ethylene glycol in our Consumer Products business). Sales for our Turbo Technologies business increased by 5 percent due to a favorable sales mix and the favorable effect of foreign exchange partially offset by lower volumes in Europe. The favorable sales mix was driven by continued strength in the North American truck segment. The lower volumes in Europe principally resulted from a shift in consumer demand among automotive platforms and slightly lower light vehicle production partially offset by a slight increase in diesel penetration. Sales for our Consumer Products Group business increased by 8 percent largely due to higher prices (primarily ethylene glycol). Sales for our Friction Materials business decreased by 3 percent primarily due to our exit in 2005 from the North American OE business. Transportation Systems sales in 2004 increased by 18 percent compared with 2003 due primarily to a favorable sales mix and higher volumes of 12 percent and the favorable effect of foreign exchange of 6 percent. The increase in sales for the segment resulted principally from a 29 percent increase in sales for our Honeywell Turbo Technologies business due to a favorable sales mix and volume growth driven by increasing diesel penetration in Europe and strength in the North American truck segment, and the favorable effect of foreign exchange. Sales for our Consumer Products Group business increased by 7 percent driven by strong retail demand for our high-end products and recent introductions of new Autolite, FRAM and Prestone products and the favorable effect of foreign exchange and higher prices (offsetting incremental ethylene glycol raw material costs). Sales for our Friction Materials business increased by 7 percent largely due to the favorable effect of foreign exchange.

      Transportation Systems segment profit in 2005 decreased by 3 percent compared with 2004 due primarily to the impact of higher raw material costs (mainly steel and other metals in each of the segment's businesses) and operating costs associated with the exit from Friction Materials North American OE business, partially offset by the effects of higher prices and productivity actions. Transportation Systems segment profit in 2004 increased by 25 percent compared with 2003 due primarily to the effect of favorable sales mix and volume growth in our Honeywell Turbo Technologies business partially offset by higher raw material costs (mostly steel and other metals in each of the segment's businesses).

      Trends which may impact Transportation Systems operating results in 2006 include:

Turbocharger demand for diesel passenger cars in the European OEM market.
 
Shift in European consumer preferences to diesel passenger cars with lower displacement engines.
 
Demand for North American truck production in conjunction with the 2007 emissions change.
 
Change in consumer spending for automotive aftermarket and car care products.

      In 2005, we recognized repositioning charges totaling $267 million primarily for severance costs related to workforce reductions of 5,269 manufacturing and administrative positions across all of our reportable segments including the implementation of a new organizational structure in our Aerospace reportable segment which reorganized our Aerospace businesses to better align with customer segments. The implementation of the new Aerospace organizational structure was substantially completed in the third quarter of 2005. Also, $25 million of previously established accruals, primarily for severance at our Corporate, Specialty Materials and Automation and Control Solutions reportable segments were returned to income in 2005. The reversal of severance liabilities relates to changes in the scope of previously announced severance programs, excise taxes relating to executive severance amounts previously paid which were determined to no longer be payable, and severance amounts previously paid to an outside service provider as part of an outsourcing arrangement which were refunded to Honeywell.

      In 2004, we recognized repositioning charges totaling $116 million primarily for severance costs related to workforce reductions of 2,272 manufacturing and administrative positions across all of our reportable segments. Also, $28 million of previously established accruals, primarily for severance, were returned to income in 2004, due to fewer employee separations than originally planned associated with certain prior repositioning actions, resulting in reduced severance liabilities principally in our Automation and Control Solutions reportable segment.

      In 2003, we recognized repositioning charges totaling $82 million primarily for severance costs related to workforce reductions of 1,501 manufacturing and administrative positions across all of our reportable segments. Also, $69 million of previously established accruals, primarily for severance, were returned to income in 2003, due to fewer employee separations than originally planned associated with certain prior repositioning actions, resulting in reduced severance liabilities in our Automation and Control Solutions, Aerospace and Specialty Materials reportable segments.

      Our 2005 repositioning actions are expected to generate incremental pretax savings of approximately $170 million in 2006 compared with 2005 principally from planned workforce reductions. Cash expenditures for severance and other exit costs necessary to execute our repositioning actions were $171, $164 and $200 million in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Such expenditures for severance and other exit costs have been funded principally through operating cash flows. Cash expenditures for severance and other exit costs necessary to execute the remaining actions will approximate $125 million in 2006 and will be funded principally through operating cash flows.

      In 2005, we recognized a charge of $186 million for environmental liabilities deemed probable and reasonably estimable. We recognized asbestos related litigation charges, net of insurance, of $10 million which are discussed in detail in Note 21 of Notes to Financial Statements in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data”. We recognized a credit of $67 million in connection with an arbitration award for overcharges by a supplier of phenol to our Specialty Materials business from June 2003 through the end of 2004. The arbitrator has also awarded Honeywell an additional $31 million of damages for overcharges in 2005, which has not been recognized as the overcharges for the years 2005 forward are subject to a separate arbitration scheduled for April 2006. The existing arbitration awards for 2003 to 2005 are subject to approval in federal court. We recognized impairment charges of $23 million related to the write-down of property, plant and equipment held and used in our Research and Life Sciences business and the write-down of property, plant and equipment held for sale in our Resins and Chemicals business, both in our Specialty Materials reportable segment. We also recognized other charges of $18 million principally related to the modification of a lease agreement for the Corporate headquarters facility ($10 million) and for various legal settlements ($7 million).

      In 2004, we recognized a charge of $536 million for probable and reasonably estimable environmental liabilities primarily related to the denial of our appeal of the matter entitled Interfaith Community Organization, et. al. v. Honeywell International Inc., et al., and estimated liabilities for remediation of environmental conditions in and around Onondaga Lake in Syracuse, New York. Both of these environmental matters are discussed in further detail in Note 21 of Notes to Financial Statements in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.” We recognized asbestos related litigation charges, net of insurance, of $76 million which are discussed in detail in Note 21 of Notes to Financial Statements in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data”. We recognized an impairment charge of $42 million in the second quarter of 2004 related principally to the write-down of property, plant and equipment of our Performance Fibers business in our Specialty Materials reportable segment. This business was sold in December 2004. We also recognized other charges of $33 million consisting of $29 million for various legal settlements including property damage claims in our Automation and Control Solutions reportable segment, $14 million for the write-off of receivables, inventories and other assets net of a reversal of a reserve of $10 million established in the prior year for a contract settlement.

      In 2003, we recognized a charge of $235 million for probable and reasonably estimable environmental liabilities mainly related to the matter entitled Interfaith Community Organization, et al. v. Honeywell International Inc., et al. and for remediation of environmental conditions in and around Onondaga Lake in Syracuse, New York, both as discussed in Note 21 of Notes to Financial Statements in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.” We also recognized other charges of $30 million consisting of $26 million for various legal settlements and $4 million in our Specialty Materials reportable segment including a loss on sale of an investment owned by an equity investee.

      The following tables provide details of the pretax impact of total net repositioning and other charges by reportable segment.

      Cash provided by operating activities increased by $189 million during 2005 compared with 2004 due primarily to increased cash earnings and improvements in working capital (receivables, inventories and accounts payable) of $270 million partially offset by an increase in asbestos liability payments, net of insurance receipts, of $139 million. Cash provided by operating activities increased by $54 million during 2004 compared with 2003 due primarily to increased cash earnings and a decrease in voluntary

36


U.S. pension contributions of $630 million. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was partially offset by an increase in asbestos liability payments, net of insurance receipts, of $558 million as the prior year included $472 million in cash received in connection with a settlement with an insurance carrier, and an increase in working capital usage of $268 million principally related to higher sales and a weakening of the U.S. dollar versus the Euro and Canadian dollar throughout 2004.

      Cash used for investing activities increased by $1,426 million during 2005 compared with 2004 due primarily to an increase in spending for acquisitions of $2,295 million (primarily Novar, UOP and Zellweger) partially offset by an increase in proceeds from sales of businesses of $571 million largely from the sale of the Security Printing business and an increase in proceeds of $320 million from maturities of investment securities. Cash used for investing activities decreased by $96 million during 2004 compared with 2003 due primarily to an increase in proceeds from sales of businesses of $289 million largely from the dispositions of our Security Monitoring and VCSEL Optical Products businesses in 2004. Additionally, proceeds from the maturity of investment securities were $80 million in 2004. The decrease in cash used for investing activities was partially offset by an increase in spending for acquisitions of $185 million due principally to various acquisitions in our Automation and Control Solutions reportable segment and an investment of $115 million in auction rate securities.

      Cash used for financing activities increased by $1,493 million during 2005 compared with 2004 due primarily to an increase in debt repayments of $1,120 million related to an increase in scheduled maturities of long-term debt of $953 million and a repayment of debt of $702 million assumed in the Novar acquisition, partially offset by an increase in short-term and commercial paper borrowings of $535 million related principally to the UOP acquisition and share repurchases. The increase in cash used for financing activities was also driven by an increase in repurchases of common stock of $409 million and higher dividend payments of $57 million partially offset by increased proceeds from issuances of common stock of $93 million. Total debt of $5,106 million at December 31, 2005 was $167 million, or 3 percent lower than at December 31, 2004 mainly due to lower long-term debt due to scheduled maturities in 2005 partially offset by higher short-term borrowings mainly due to acquisitions and share repurchases. Cash used for financing activities increased by $328 million during 2004 compared with 2003 due primarily to an increase in repurchases of common stock of $687 million in connection with our stock repurchase program partially offset by a reduction in debt repayments, net of issuances, of $337 million in 2004. Total debt of $5,273 million at December 31, 2004 was $113 million, or 2 percent higher than at December 31, 2003 principally reflecting higher commercial paper borrowings to fund our share repurchases in 2004.

Liquidity

      We manage our businesses to maximize operating cash flows as the primary source of our liquidity. Operating cash flows were $2.4 billion in 2005. We have approximately $1.2 billion in cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2005 down from $3.6 billion at December 31, 2004 due primarily to acquisitions and share repurchases. Working capital (receivables, inventories and accounts payable) was $5.5 billion at December 31, 2005. Each of our businesses are focused on implementing strategies to improve working capital turnover in 2006 to increase operating cash flows. Considering the current economic environment in which each of our businesses operate and our business plans and strategies, including our focus on growth, cost reduction and productivity initiatives, we believe that our cash balances and operating cash flows will remain our principal source of liquidity. In addition to our available cash and operating cash flows, additional sources of liquidity include committed credit lines, access to the public debt and equity markets, as well as our ability to sell trade accounts receivables.

      A source of liquidity is our ability to issue short-term debt in the commercial paper market. Commercial paper notes are sold at a discount and have a maturity of not more than 270 days from date of issuance. Borrowings under the commercial paper program are available for general corporate purposes as well as for financing potential acquisitions. There was $754 million of commercial paper outstanding at December 31, 2005.

      Our ability to access the commercial paper market, and the related cost of these borrowings, is affected by the strength of our credit ratings and our $2.5 billion of committed bank revolving credit facilities (Revolving Credit Facilities). Our credit ratings are periodically reviewed by the major

37


independent debt-rating agencies. In 2004, Standard and Poor's and Fitch's Rating Services affirmed their corporate ratings on our long-term debt, A and A+, respectively, and short-term debt A1 and F1, respectively, and maintained Honeywell's ratings outlook as “stable”. In 2005, Moody's Investors Service affirmed its corporate rating on our long-term and short-term debt of A2 and P-1, respectively, and revised Honeywell's ratings outlook to “stable” from “negative”.

      Revolving Credit Facilities of $2.3 billion are maintained with a group of banks, arranged by Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., which is comprised of: (a) a $1 billion Five-Year Credit Agreement and (b) a $1.3 billion Five-Year Credit Agreement. The credit agreements are maintained for general corporate purposes, including support for the issuance of commercial paper. The $1 billion Five-Year Credit Agreement includes a $200 million sub-limit for the potential issuance of letters of credit. The $1.3 billion Five-Year Credit Agreement includes a $300 million sub-limit for the potential issuance of letters of credit. A new 364-Day 240 million Canadian dollar facility ($206 million in U.S. dollars) was established in 2005. The new facility was arranged by Citibank, N.A., Canadian Branch for general corporate purposes, including support for the issuance of commercial paper in Canada. See Note 15 of Notes to Financial Statements in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”

      We also have a shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission which allows us to issue up to $3 billion in debt securities, common stock and preferred stock that may be offered in one or more offerings on terms to be determined at the time of the offering. Net proceeds of any offering would be used for general corporate purposes, including repayment of existing indebtedness, capital expenditures and acquisitions.

      We also sell interests in designated pools of trade accounts receivables to third parties. The sold receivables were over-collateralized by $178 million at December 31, 2005 and we retain a subordinated interest in the pool of receivables representing that over-collateralization as well as an undivided interest in the balance of the receivables pools. New receivables are sold under the agreement as previously sold receivables are collected. The retained interests in the receivables are reflected at the amounts expected to be collected by us, and such carrying value approximates the fair value of our retained interests. The sold receivables were $500 million at both December 31, 2005 and 2004.

      In addition to our normal operating cash requirements, our principal future cash requirements will be to fund capital expenditures, debt repayments, dividends, employee benefit obligations, environmental remediation costs, asbestos claims, severance and exit costs related to repositioning actions, share repurchases and any strategic acquisitions.

      Specifically, we expect our primary cash requirements in 2006 to be as follows:

Capital expenditures—we expect to spend approximately $800 million for capital expenditures in 2006 primarily for growth, replacement, production capacity expansion, cost reduction and maintenance.
 
Debt repayments—there are $995 million of scheduled long-term debt maturities in 2006. We expect to refinance substantially all of these maturities in the debt capital markets during 2006.
 
Share repurchases—in November 2005, Honeywell's Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to $3 billion of its common stock. We intend to repurchase outstanding shares from time to time in the open market using cash generated from operations.
 
Dividends—we expect to pay approximately $750 million in dividends on our common stock in 2006 reflecting the 10 percent increase in the dividend rate announced by Honeywell's Board of Directors in December 2005.
 
Asbestos claims—we expect our cash spending for asbestos claims and our cash receipts for related insurance recoveries to be approximately $520 and $176 million, respectively, in 2006. See Asbestos Matters in Note 21 of Notes to Financial Statements in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” for further discussion.
 
Pension contributions—assuming that actual pension plan returns are consistent with our expected rate of return of 9 percent in 2006 and beyond and that interest rates remain constant, we would not be required to make any contributions to our U.S. pension plans to satisfy minimum statutory funding requirements for the foreseeable future. However, we expect to make

38


  voluntary contributions of approximately $45 million to our U.S. pension plans in 2006. We also expect to make contributions to our non-U.S. plans of approximately $150 million in 2006. See Note 22 of Notes to Financial Statements in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” for further discussion of pension contributions.
   
Repositioning actions—we expect that cash spending for severance and other exit costs necessary to execute the remaining repositioning actions will approximate $125 million in 2006.
 
Environmental remediation costs—we expect to spend approximately $250 million in 2006 for remedial response and voluntary clean-up costs. See Environmental Matters section of this MD&A for further discussion.

      We have made an all-cash Offer for the entire issued ordinary share capital of First Technology plc, a provider of gas sensing and detection products and services headquartered in the UK. The aggregate value of the Offer is approximately $718 million, fully diluted for the exercise of all outstanding options and including the assumption of approximately $199 million of outstanding debt. We expect to complete the transaction in the first half of 2006, subject to regulatory approval.

      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 businesses that do not fit into our long-term strategic plan based on their market position, relative profitability or growth potential. These businesses are considered for potential divestiture, restructuring or other repositioning actions subject to regulatory constraints. In 2005, we
