          FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE UNITED TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION
                      DEFINED CONTRIBUTION RETIREMENT PLAN

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS



To the Pension Administration
  and Investment Committee of
  United Technologies Corporation
  and Members of the United Technologies Corporation
  Defined Contribution Retirement Plan


In our  opinion, the  accompanying statements  of  financial condition  and  the
related statement of income  and changes in plan  equity present fairly, in  all
material respects, the financial position of the United Technologies Corporation
Defined Contribution Retirement  Plan at  November 30,  1994 and  1993, and  the
results of its operations and the changes in its plan equity for the year  ended
November 30, 1994, in conformity with generally accepted accounting  principles.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan Administrator; our
responsibility is to express an opinion  on these financial statements based  on
our audits.   We conducted  our audits of  these statements  in accordance  with
generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements  are
free of material misstatement.   An audit includes  examining, on a test  basis,
evidence supporting the  amounts and  disclosures in  the financial  statements,
assessing the  accounting  principles used  and  significant estimates  made  by
management, and evaluating  the overall  financial statement  presentation.   We
believe that our  audits provide a  reasonable basis for  the opinion  expressed
above.

                         Notes to Financial Statements


NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

The United Technologies  Corporation Defined Contribution  Retirement Plan  (the
Plan) is a  defined contribution savings  and money purchase  plan sponsored  by
United Technologies Corporation (United).  The Plan became effective December 1,
1984.  Membership in  the Plan is  offered to eligible  employees of United  and
certain of its subsidiaries.

The employer makes contributions with respect to each member of an amount up  to
3.5 percent of  the member's  compensation.   In addition,  certain members  may
elect to contribute,  through payroll  deductions, between  1 and  9 percent  of
their total  compensation  with up  to  the first  4  percent of  each  member's
contribution being matched 50 percent by the employer.  Member contributions are
fully vested at  all times under  the Plan.   Generally, employer  contributions
become fully vested after two years of Plan participation.

All employee contributions are  credited to a member  account maintained by  the
Plan Administrator.    Contributions are  invested,  pursuant to  each  member's
direction, in one or more of the following  funds:  the Income Fund, the  Equity
Fund, the UTC  Stock Fund and  the Global Fund,  where permitted.   Members  may
elect to have 100 percent of their contributions invested in one investment fund
or may allocate the contributions in any whole percentage (effective January  1,
1994) among the  funds.   Prior to  January 1,  1994, allocations  were made  in
multiples of 25%.   Members  are permitted  to transfer  their accounts  between
investment funds once per quarter in any whole percentage (effective January  1,
1994).   Prior to  January  1, 1994,  transfers  between investment  funds  were
generally permitted in multiples of 10 percent.

The Income Fund  is invested  in contracts  issued by  five insurance  companies
designated by the  Pension Investment Committee.   Under  these contracts,  each
insurance company guarantees repayment in full of the principal amount  invested
plus interest credited  at a fixed  rate for a  specified period.   Interest  is
credited to each contract based on an annual interest rate set each year by  the
individual insurance carriers.  This rate, which differs among contracts,  takes
into account any difference between prior year credited interest and the  actual
amount of investment earnings allocable to  the contract in accordance with  the
established allocation  procedures  of  the insurance  carrier.    The  weighted
average rate set for the 1994 calendar year was 7.5 percent.

The Equity Fund  may be  invested in common  or capital  stock of  corporations,
bonds or securities  convertible into such  stocks, or shares  of any  federally
registered mutual fund or similar type of investment fund, including  investment
in any commingled  trust fund  managed by  the Trustee,  Bankers Trust  Company,
which is invested primarily in similar types of equity securities.  During  1994
and 1993, the Equity Fund was  invested principally in the Trustee's BT  Pyramid
Equity Index  Fund,  which is  a  portfolio  of common  stocks  replicating  the
Standard & Poor's Composite Index of 500 stocks.  Interest and dividends  earned
by this investment are reinvested and increase market value.<PAGE>
<PAGE>

The Global Fund will be invested  in almost equal proportion in three  different
funds managed by  the Trustee:   the BT Pyramid  International Securities  Index
Fund, the BT Pyramid  Fixed Income Index  Fund and the  BT Pyramid Equity  Index
Fund (as described above).  The  International Securities Index Fund invests  in
four other international index funds managed  by the Trustee.  The Fixed  Income
Index Fund  invests primarily  in obligations  of the  U.S. Government  and  its
agencies and  other  publicly  traded,  high-grade  domestic  debt  instruments.
Interest and dividends earned by these  investments are reinvested and  increase
market value.

Forfeitures of employer contributions are used to reduce employer contributions;
earned and  unapplied  forfeitures  will  be  applied  against  future  employer
contributions and are shown separately in the Statement of Income and Changes in
Plan Equity.

Members who transfer to a new location of United which is covered by a different
savings  plan  have  the  option  of  transferring  their  account  balances  in
accordance with  the provisions  of the  new savings  plan, including  available
investment funds.

Number of participants in the Plan at year end were as follows:

The participants above may have investments  in more than one of the  investment
funds.


NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

United has entered into a master trust  agreement with the Trustee.  Under  this
agreement, certain employee savings plans of United and its subsidiaries combine
their trust fund investments in the Master Trust.  Participating plans  purchase
units  of  participation  in  the  investment  funds  based  on  their   monthly
contribution to such funds and the unit value of the applicable investment  fund
at the end of the month.  The value of a unit in each fund is determined at  the
end of each month by dividing the sum of uninvested cash, accrued income and the
current market value of investments by the total number of outstanding units  in
such funds.  The plans receive income from the funds' investments which increase
the unit values.  Distributions reduce the number of participation units held by
the plans.

The investments of  the Income Fund  are valued at  cost plus accrued  interest.
The investments of the Equity Fund, the UTC Stock Fund, and the Global Fund  are
valued at market as determined by  the Trustee by reference to published  market
data.

The expenses of operating the Plan are payable  out of the funds held under  the
Plan, unless the employer  elects to pay  such expenses.   The expenses for  the
1994 plan year were paid by the employer.<PAGE>
<PAGE>

The Plan is not subject to federal income tax as the Plan and its related  trust
are considered by United to satisfy the qualification and exemption requirements
of Sections 401(a) and 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.  United has received
a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS),  dated
in 1986,  to the  effect that  the Plan,  as amended  in 1986,  qualifies  under
Sections 401(a) and  501(a) of  the Code.   United intends  to apply  for a  new
determination letter from the IRS indicating that the Plan, as amended since the
date of the most  recent IRS determination letter,  continues to be exempt  from
federal income taxes under Sections 401(a) and 501(a) of the Code.  Under  these
sections, contributions by  United, employees  (at their  election) and  related
earnings will  be  tax deferred  until  such amounts  are  distributed.   It  is
expected, given  the  lack of  substantive  plan amendments,  that  a  favorable
determination will be issued from the IRS, and accordingly, no provision is made
for federal income taxes.

Effective January 1, 1994, the Plan  permits transfers between investment  funds

accounts were generally made through increments of 10%.

Effective January 1, 1994, the Plan permits future allocation of investment fund
contributions in any  whole percentage.   Prior to January  1, 1994,  investment
allocations were made in 25% increments.

Effective  January  1,  1994,  the  Plan  permits  participants  to  receive  an
installment distribution  upon attaining  age 55  with  five years  of  service.
Prior to January 1, 1994, the  Plan rules required age 55  with a minimum of  10

choices to eligible employees of certain subsidiaries of United.  In addition to
the two funds  previously available, the  Plan now allows  such participants  to
invest in the Global Fund and the UTC Stock Fund.  Contributions to these  funds
began effective April 1, 1995.<PAGE>
