FORM 3 (continued)

Explanation of Responses:

        Titan Acquisitions, Ltd. ("Purchaser"), a wholly owned subsidiary of
United Technologies Corporation ("Parent"), entered into Lock-up Agreements
(each, a "Lock-up Agreement"), dated June 23, 1999, with Ravine Partners, Ltd.
("Ravine") and Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan Board ("Teachers"), respectively,
pursuant to which each of Ravine and Teachers agreed to validly tender and not
withdraw its shares of International Comfort Products Corporation ("Issuer") in
the cash tender offer (the "Offer") commenced by Purchaser on June 30, 1999 at
US$11.75 per share for the outstanding ordinary shares of Issuer. Such agreement
by Teachers is subject to there not being a proposal to takeover Issuer that is
superior to the Offer.

        In addition, the Lock-up Agreement with Ravine grants Purchaser an
option to purchase Ravine's shares of Issuer at a price equal to the greater of
US$11.75 and the per share price paid by Purchaser in the Offer. Subject to
certain terms and conditions, the option is exercisable within 60 days following
the first date when: (a) the Pre-Acquisition Agreement, dated June 23, 1999, by
and among Purchaser, Parent and Issuer (the "Pre-Acquisition Agreement"), is
terminated (i) by Issuer because Issuer has received a superior takeover
proposal and the Board of Directors of Issuer has determined that its fiduciary
duties require it to terminate or (ii) by Parent because (A) the Board of
Directors of Issuer or any committee thereof has modified or withdrawn its
recommendation of the Offer or (B) Issuer has publicly announced its intention
to enter into a business combination with any person other than Parent or
Purchaser or taken other public actions not opposing another takeover proposal;
(b) a takeover proposal with respect to Issuer is announced by a person other
than Parent or Purchaser while the Offer is open and the Minimum Condition (as
defined in the Offer) is not satisfied; or (c) a takeover proposal with respect
to Issuer is announced by a person other than Parent or Purchaser after the
Offer has closed but prior to March 31, 2000 and Purchaser did not consummate
the Offer. In the event Ravine's shares of Issuer are acquired by Purchaser
pursuant to such option, and Purchaser subsequently disposes of such shares in
connection with any takeover proposal for which a binding contract of sale is
executed within 12 months of the closing of the acquisition pursuant to such
option, then Ravine shall be entitled to 75% of the excess, if any, of the
aggregate proceeds of such disposition over the purchase price paid pursuant to
the exercise of such option.

        Each of the Pre-Acquisition Agreement and the Lock-up Agreements is
described in, and included as an exhibit to, the Schedule 14D-1 and Schedule 13D
filed by Purchaser and Parent with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
June 30, 1999, and such Schedules and all exhibits thereto are incorporated
herein by reference. As permitted by Rule 16a-1(a)(4) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"), this filing shall not be
deemed an admission that the reporting persons, for purposes of Section 16 of
the 1934 Act or otherwise, are beneficial owners of the equity securities
covered by this filing.
