REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To United Technologies Corporation
and Participants of the United Technologies Corporation
Defined Contribution Retirement Plan
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
with fund information and the related statement of changes in net assets
available for benefits with fund information present fairly, in all material
respects, the net assets available for benefits of the United Technologies
Corporation Defined Contribution Retirement Plan at November 30, 1995 and 1994,
and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended November
30, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management; 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.

DEFINED CONTRIBUTION RETIREMENT PLAN
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 (UTC). The Plan is subject to the provisions of
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). Participation in
the Plan is offered to eligible employees of UTC and certain of its subsidiaries
after the employee has completed one year of service. Below is a brief
description of the Plan. More complete information is provided in the plan
document which is available from UTC.
The employer makes contributions with respect to each participant of an amount
up to 3.5 percent of the participant's compensation. In addition, certain
participants 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
participant's contribution being matched 50 percent by the employer.
Participant contributions are fully vested at all times under the Plan.
Generally, employer contributions become fully vested after two years of Plan
participation.
All participant contributions are credited to a participant account maintained
by UTC. Contributions are invested, pursuant to each participant'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. Participants 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%. Participants 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.
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 companies. 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 company. The weighted average rate set for the 1995 calendar year was
7.25 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 Bankers Trust Company (BT), the Trustee,
which is invested primarily in similar types of equity securities. During 1995
and 1994, the Equity Fund was invested principally in the 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 the
Equity Fund are reinvested and increase market value.
The UTC Stock Fund consists principally of 9 shares of Common Stock of UTC at
November 30, 1995.<PAGE>
<PAGE>
The Global Fund is 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 BT Pyramid International Securities Index Fund invests in
four other international index funds managed by the Trustee. The BT Pyramid
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 but unapplied forfeitures will be applied against future employer
contributions and are shown separately in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets
Available for Benefits With Fund Information.
Participants who transfer to a new location of UTC 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
UTC has entered into a master trust agreement with the Trustee. Under this
agreement, certain employee savings plans of UTC 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 to participants reduce the number of
participation units held by the plans.
The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual method of
accounting. Benefits are recorded when paid.
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
1995 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 UTC to satisfy the qualification and exemption requirements of
Sections 401(a) and 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. UTC has received a
favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), dated
April 22, 1996, indicating that the Plan continues to qualify under Sections
401(a) and 501(a) of the Code. Under these sections, contributions by UTC,
participants (at their election) and related earnings will be tax deferred until
such amounts are distributed.
NOTE 3 - INSURANCE CONTRACTS
The following is a summary of the insurance contracts held in the Income Fund
and the portion allocable to the Plan:

NOTE 4 - GAIN ON SALE OF INVESTMENTS
The Trustee uses the average cost method in determining the cost of securities
for purposes of calculating the gain or loss on the sale of securities. Gains
and losses of the Master Trust funds are allocated to the participating plans
based upon participation units at the month-end valuation date following the
sale. The gains recognized by the Master Trust funds and amounts allocable to
the Plan, for the Plan year ended November 30, 1995, are as follows:

November 30, 1995, the minimum funding requirements under ERISA have been met.
NOTE 7 - PLAN AMENDMENTS
Effective January 1, 1994, the Plan permits transfers between investment funds
in any whole percentage. Prior to January 1, 1994, transfers between investment
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
years of service.
On October 1, 1994, the Plan was amended to offer two additional investment
choices to eligible participants of certain subsidiaries of UTC. 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.
NOTE 8 - PLAN TERMINATION
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, UTC has the right under the
Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan
subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan termination,
participants will become 100 percent vested in their accounts.
NOTE 9 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT
Effective December 1, 1995, the Plan year end was changed to the twelve month
period ending December 31.<PAGE>
