Item 1. Business
United Technologies Corporation was incorporated in Delaware in 1934.
Growth is attributable to acquisitions and the internal development of existing
businesses of the Corporation.*
Management's Discussion and Analysis of the Corporation's Results of
Operations and Financial Position at December 31, 1999, with comparisons of 1999
to 1998 and 1998 to 1997, as well as Selected Financial Data for each year in
the five year period ended December 31, 1999 are set forth on pages 1 through 9
of the Corporation's 1999 Annual Report to Shareowners. Whenever reference is
made in this Form 10-K to specific pages in the 1999 Annual Report to
Shareowners, such pages are incorporated herein by reference.
Operating Segments
The Corporation conducts its business through four principal operating
segments. The Corporation's operating segments are comprised of groups of
operating companies and, in two cases, also include a division of the parent
corporation. The management of each segment or component thereof has general
operating autonomy over diversified products and services. The operating
segments and their respective principal products are as follows:
Operating Segment Principal Products
Otis --Otis elevators, escalators, automated
people movers and service.
Carrier --Carrier heating, ventilating and air
conditioning ("HVAC") systems and
equipment, transport and commercial
refrigeration equipment, aftermarket
service and components.
Pratt & Whitney --Pratt & Whitney aircraft engines, parts,
service and space propulsion.
Flight Systems --Sikorsky helicopters, parts and service.

industrial products, including aircraft
electrical and power distribution systems,
engine and flight controls, auxiliary power
units, environmental control systems and
propeller systems (aerospace), and air
compressors, metering devices, fluid
handling equipment and enclosed gear drives
(industrial).
On May 4, 1999, the Corporation sold its former UT Automotive unit. For
further discussion of the sale of UT Automotive, see Management's Discussion and
Analysis of the Corporation's Results of Operations at page 4 and Note 2 of
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements on page 16 of the Corporation's 1999
Annual Report to Shareowners.
On June 10, 1999, the Corporation completed the acquisition of Sundstrand
Corporation. Sundstrand Corporation was merged with a wholly-owned subsidiary
of the Corporation, which was renamed Hamilton Sundstrand Corporation. Hamilton
Sundstrand Corporation and the former Hamilton Standard division are operated as
part of the Flight Systems segment.
Segment financial data for the years 1997 through 1999, including financial
information about foreign and domestic operations and export sales, is included
in Note 15 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements on pages 24 through 26
of the Corporation's 1999 Annual Report to Shareowners.

Description of Business by Operating Segment
The following description of the Corporation's business by operating segment
should be read in conjunction with Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Results of Operations and Financial Position appearing in the Corporation's 1999
Annual Report to Shareowners, especially the information contained therein under
the heading "Business Environment."
Otis
Otis is the world's leader in production, installation and service in the
elevator industry, defined as elevators, escalators and automated people movers.
Otis designs, manufactures, sells and installs a wide range of passenger and
freight elevators, including hydraulic and geared elevators for low- and medium-
speed applications and gearless elevators for high-speed passenger operations in
high-rise buildings. Otis also produces a broad line of escalators, automated
people movers and shuttle systems for horizontal transportation. In addition to
new equipment, Otis provides modernization products and services to upgrade
elevators and escalators.
In December 1999, Otis completed the formation of LG Otis Elevator Company,
a company established in Korea with LG Electronics, Inc. LG Otis Elevator
Company acquired the elevator business of the Building Facilities Group of LG
Industrial Systems Co. Inc. The Corporation has an 80% equity interest in LG
Otis Elevator Company and it will be operated as part of the Otis segment.
Otis provides maintenance services for a substantial portion of the
elevators and escalators which it sells and also services elevators and
escalators of other manufacturers. Otis conducts its business principally
through various subsidiaries and affiliated companies worldwide. In some cases,
consolidated subsidiaries and affiliates have significant minority interests.
In addition, as part of its global growth strategy, Otis has made investments
and continues to invest in markets worldwide, including those in Central and
Eastern Europe (such as Russia and Ukraine) and Asia (such as the People's
Republic of China and South Korea). Otis' investments in many of these markets
carry a higher level of currency, political and economic risk than investments
in developed markets.
Otis' business and operations worldwide can be affected by changes in
economic, industrial, political and international conditions, including changes
in interest rates (which can affect demand for elevators, escalators and
services); changes in legislation and in government regulations (including
regulations relating to capital contributions, currency conversion and
repatriation of earnings); changes in technology; changes in the level of
construction activity; changes in currency exchange rates; changes in labor
costs (which can impact service and maintenance margins on installed elevators
and escalators); and competition from a large number of companies, including
other major domestic and foreign manufacturers and service providers. The
principal methods of competition are price, delivery schedule, product
performance and service. Otis' products and services are sold principally to
builders and building contractors and owners.
Revenues generated by Otis' international operations were 78 and 81 percent
of total Otis segment revenues in 1999 and 1998, respectively. At December 31,
1999, the Otis business backlog amounted to $3,782 million as compared to $3,459
million at December 31, 1998. Substantially all of the business backlog at
December 31, 1999 is expected to be realized as sales in 2000.
Carrier
Carrier is the world's largest manufacturer of heating, ventilating and air
conditioning systems and equipment. Carrier also participates in the commercial
and transport refrigeration businesses, and provides aftermarket service and
components for its products. In 1997, Carrier expanded into the U.S. commercial
refrigeration business by acquiring Ardco, Inc. and Tyler Refrigeration
Corporation, two U.S.-based manufacturers of commercial refrigeration equipment.
In August 1999, Carrier expanded its North American presence in residential and
light commercial heating and air conditioning equipment by acquiring
International Comfort Products Corporation.
- 4 -
<PAGE>
In April 1999, Carrier formed an alliance with Toshiba Corporation to
combine and coordinate certain air conditioning manufacturing and distribution
operations. Toshiba's Air Conditioning Equipment Division was transferred to
Toshiba Carrier Corporation, a company based in Japan owned 40% by Carrier and
60% by Toshiba. Carrier's existing Japanese subsidiary, Toyo Carrier, also
became part of this company. Carrier and Toshiba Carrier Corporation formed
manufacturing joint ventures in the U.K., with Carrier holding a majority
interest, and in Thailand with Carrier and Toshiba Carrier owning equal
interests. Toshiba transferred its air conditioning manufacturing operations in
both countries to these new joint ventures. Carrier also combined Toshiba's
HVAC sales organizations with Carrier's existing operations, and Carrier will
complement its current line of products by offering Toshiba branded HVAC
products globally.
The products manufactured by Carrier include chillers and airside equipment,
commercial unitary systems, residential split systems (cooling only and heat
pump), duct-free split systems, window and portable room air conditioners and
furnaces, as well as transport refrigeration and commercial refrigeration
equipment.
As part of its global growth strategy, Carrier has made investments and
continues to invest in markets worldwide, including those in Asia (such as the
People's Republic of China) and Latin America. Carrier's investments in many of
these markets carry a higher level of currency, political and economic risk than
investments in developed markets. Carrier's business and operations worldwide
can be affected by changes in economic, industrial, political, international and
climate conditions, including changes in interest rates (which can affect demand
for its products); changes in legislation and government regulations (including
those relating to refrigerants and their effect on global environmental
conditions); changes in technology; changes in the level of construction
activity; changes in currency exchange rates; changes in regulations related to
capital contributions, currency conversion and repatriation of earnings; and
competition from a large number of companies, including other major domestic and
foreign manufacturers. The principal methods of competition are price, product
performance, delivery schedule and service.
Carrier's products and services are sold principally to builders, building
contractors and owners, residential homeowners, shipping and trucking companies,
supermarkets and food service companies. Sales are made both directly to the
customer and by or through manufacturers' representatives, distributors,
dealers, individual wholesalers and retail outlets.
Revenues generated by Carrier's international operations, including U.S.
export sales, were 48 percent and 52 percent of total Carrier segment revenues
in 1999 and 1998, respectively. At December 31, 1999, the Carrier business
backlog amounted to $978 million, as compared to $1,007 million at December 31,
1998. Substantially all of the business backlog at December 31, 1999 is
expected to be realized as sales in 2000.
Pratt & Whitney and Flight Systems
The Corporation's Pratt & Whitney and Flight Systems operating segments
produce aerospace and defense products. Sales of aerospace and defense products
are subject to changes in technology; lengthy and costly development cycles; the
effects of continuing consolidation within the aerospace and defense industry;
heavy dependence on a small number of products and programs; changes in
legislation and in government procurement and other regulations and procurement
practices; procurement preferences and policies of some foreign customers which
require in-country manufacture through offset programs (where in-country
purchases and financial support projects are required as a condition to
obtaining orders) or other arrangements; substantial competition from major
domestic manufacturers and from foreign manufacturers (whose governments
sometimes provide direct and indirect research and development assistance,
marketing subsidies and other assistance for their commercial products); and
changes in economic, industrial and international conditions. In addition, the
financial performance of these two
- 5 -
<PAGE>
segments can be affected in a number of respects by the general level of
activity and performance of the commercial airline industry and the aviation
industry.
The principal methods of competition in the Corporation's aerospace and
defense businesses are price, product performance, service, delivery schedule
and other terms and conditions of sale, including fleet introductory allowances
and performance and operating cost guarantees, and the participation by the
Corporation and its finance subsidiaries in customer financing arrangements in
connection with sales of commercial jet engines and helicopters. Fleet
introductory allowances are discounts and other financial incentives offered by
the Corporation to encourage airline and other customers to purchase engines.
Engine purchases are expected to lead to the purchase of parts and services to
support the engines. Engine selections by airlines and other operators can
therefore have a significant impact on subsequent sales of spare parts and
maintenance services.
Sales of military products are affected by defense budgets (both in the U.S.
and, to some extent, abroad), U.S. foreign policy and the presence of
competition. Military spare parts sales are also affected to some extent by the
policies of the U.S. and certain foreign governments of purchasing certain parts
from suppliers other than the original equipment manufacturers.
Pratt & Whitney
Pratt & Whitney is one of the world's leading producers of large turbofan
(jet) engines for commercial and military aircraft and small gas turbine engines
for business, regional/commuter and general aviation aircraft. Pratt & Whitney
provides overhaul and repair services and spare and replacement parts for the
engines it produces, as well as overhaul and repair services and fleet
management services for many models of commercial and military jet and gas
turbine engines. In addition, Pratt & Whitney produces liquid rocket propulsion
systems and solid rocket motors for the United States Department of Defense, the
National Aeronautics and Space Administration ("NASA") and commercial satellite
launch programs. Pratt & Whitney also produces industrial gas turbines.
Pratt & Whitney products are sold principally to aircraft manufacturers,
airlines and other aircraft operators, aircraft leasing companies and the U.S.
and foreign governments. Pratt & Whitney sales in the U.S. and Canada are made
directly to the customer and, to a limited extent, through independent
distributors. Other export sales are made with the assistance of an overseas
network of independent foreign representatives. Sales to the Boeing Company
("Boeing") and Airbus Industrie ("Airbus"), consisting primarily of sales of
commercial aircraft jet engines selected by airlines and other aircraft
operators, amounted to 30 percent of total Pratt & Whitney revenues in 1999,
before taking into account any discounts or financial incentives offered to such
airlines or operators. Pratt & Whitney's major competitors in the sale of
engines are the aircraft engine businesses of General Electric Company ("GE")
and Rolls-Royce plc.
Pratt & Whitney currently produces three families of large commercial jet
engines; the JT8D-200, the PW2000 series and the PW4000 series. Pratt &
Whitney's JT8D-200 series engines power the Boeing MD-80 aircraft. Applications
for the PW2000 series include the Boeing 757-200/PF aircraft and the Iluyshin
IL-96 aircraft. Pratt & Whitney's PW4000 engine family powers the Airbus A310-
300, A300-600 and A330-200/300 series; the Boeing 747-400, 767-200/300 and 777-
200/300 series of aircraft; and the Boeing MD-11 aircraft. Boeing's Douglas
Products Division has announced that it has phased-out the MD-80 aircraft
program with the final delivery in December 1999. Boeing has also announced
that MD-11 aircraft production will be phased-out with the final delivery in
2000.
Pratt & Whitney has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with Airbus
to develop, certify, market and sell PW6000 series engines for installation on
the Airbus A318 aircraft under development. Pratt & Whitney currently expects
to obtain FAA certification for the PW6000 engine during the fourth
quarter of 2001. Airbus has announced that the A318 aircraft is currently
expected to enter service in the fourth quarter of 2002. Management cannot
predict with certainty when and in what quantities Pratt & Whitney will produce
PW6000 engines.
- 6 -
<PAGE>
IAE International Aero Engines AG, a Swiss corporation in which Pratt &
Whitney has a 33 percent interest, markets and supports the V2500 engine.
Applications for the V2500 engine include Airbus' A319, A320 and A321 aircraft
and Boeing's MD-90. Boeing has announced that MD-90 production will be phased
out with final deliveries during the first quarter of 2000.
In the case of many commercial aircraft today, aircraft manufacturers offer
their customers a choice of engines, giving rise to competition among engine
manufacturers at the time of the sale of aircraft. This competition is intense,
particularly where new commercial airframe/engine combinations are first
introduced to the market and into the fleets of individual airlines. Financial
incentives granted by engine suppliers, performance and operating cost
guarantees and maintenance agreements are frequently important factors in such
sales and can be substantial. (For information regarding customer financing
commitments, participation in guarantees of customer financing arrangements and
performance and operating cost guarantees, see Notes 4 and 13 of Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements at pages 17 and 23 of the Corporation's 1999
Annual Report to Shareowners.)
In view of the global nature of the commercial aircraft industry and the
risk and cost associated with launching new engine development programs, Pratt &
Whitney has developed strategic alliances and collaboration arrangements on
commercial engine programs in which costs, revenues and risks are shared. At
December 31, 1999, the percentages of these items shared by other participants
in these alliances were approximately as follows: 24 percent of the JT8D-200
series engine program, 29 percent of the PW2000 series engine program, 14
percent of the 94 and 100 inch fan models of the PW4000, 26 percent of the
PW4084 and PW4090 models and 24 percent of the PW4098 model.
GE-P&W Engine Alliance, LLC, an alliance between GE Aircraft Engines and
Pratt & Whitney in which Pratt & Whitney has a 50 percent interest, was formed
during 1996 to develop, market and manufacture a new jet engine that is intended
to power super-jumbo aircraft. Although no aircraft manufacturer has as yet
committed to produce a super-jumbo aircraft, the GE-P&W Engine Alliance has
continued its marketing activities.
In 1999, as part of its plans to expand its range of aftermarket products
and services, Pratt & Whitney acquired Cade Industries, Inc. and the operations
of Dallas Aerospace, Inc. Cade manufactures and repairs composite component
parts for propulsion systems and airframes, and designs, manufactures and
services jet engine test facilities. Dallas Aerospace is an aftermarket
supplier of engines, engine parts, and engine management and leasing services.
Pratt & Whitney currently produces two military aircraft engines, the F100
(powering F-15 and F-16 fighter aircraft) and the F117 (powering C-17 transport
aircraft). All of Pratt & Whitney's F100 and F117 sales contracts are with the
United States Air Force ("USAF") or with foreign governments.
Pratt & Whitney is under contract with the USAF to develop the F119 engine,
the only anticipated source of propulsion for the two-engine F-22 fighter
aircraft being developed by Lockheed Martin Corporation ("Lockheed Martin") and
Boeing. The F-22 made its first flight in September 1997, powered by Pratt &
Whitney F119 engines. In addition, the Department of Defense selected two
weapon systems contractors, Boeing and Lockheed Martin, to proceed into the next
phase of the Joint Strike Fighter program development. Both companies have
selected derivatives of Pratt & Whitney's F119 engine as their engine of choice
to provide power for the Joint Strike Fighter demonstration aircraft.
Management cannot predict with certainty whether, when, and in what quantities
Pratt & Whitney will produce F119 engines.
Pratt & Whitney Space Propulsion ("SP") produces hydrogen fueled rocket
engines for commercial and U.S. Government space applications and advanced turbo
pumps for NASA's Space Shuttle program. SP, together with NPO Energomash, is
providing a new Lox-Kerosene RD-180 booster engine for two launch vehicles being
marketed by Lockheed Martin. Chemical Systems, a unit of SP, manufactures solid
- 7 -
<PAGE>
fuel propulsion systems and booster motors for commercial and civil applications
and several U.S. military launch vehicles and missiles.
Gas turbine engines manufactured by Pratt & Whitney Canada, including
various turbofan, turboprop and turboshaft engines, are used in a variety of
aircraft including six to eighty passenger class business and regional/commuter
airline aircraft, general aviation aircraft and light and medium helicopters.
Pratt & Whitney Canada also provides engine maintenance services worldwide.
Revenues from Pratt & Whitney's international operations, including U.S.
export sales, were 48 percent and 52 percent of total Pratt & Whitney segment
revenues in 1999 and 1998, respectively. Such operations are subject to local
government regulations (including regulations relating to capital contributions,
currency conversion and repatriation of earnings) as well as to varying
political and economic risks.
At December 31, 1999, the business backlog for Pratt & Whitney amounted to
$8,256 million, including $1,394 million of U.S. Government funded contracts and
subcontracts, as compared to $8,415 million and $1,808 million, respectively, at
December 31, 1998. Of the total Pratt & Whitney business backlog at December
31, 1999, approximately $3,459 million is expected to be realized as sales in
2000. Significant elements of Pratt & Whitney's business, such as spare parts
sales for engines in service, generally have short lead times. Therefore,
backlog may not be indicative of future demand. Also, since a substantial
portion of the backlog for commercial customers is scheduled for delivery beyond
2000, changes in economic conditions may cause customers to request that firm
orders be rescheduled or canceled.
Flight Systems
The Corporation's Flight Systems business is conducted through Sikorsky
Aircraft and Hamilton Sundstrand.
Sikorsky is one of the world's leading manufacturers of military and
commercial helicopters and the primary supplier of transport helicopters to the
U.S. Army. All branches of the U.S. military operate Sikorsky helicopters.
Sikorsky also supplies helicopters to foreign governments and the worldwide
commercial market. Sikorsky produces helicopters for a variety of uses,
including passenger, utility/transport, cargo, anti-submarine warfare, search
and rescue and heavy-lift operations. In addition to sales of new helicopters,
Sikorsky's business base includes aftermarket revenue from spare parts sales,
overhaul and repair contracts and service contracts. Other major helicopter
manufacturers include Bell Helicopter Textron, Eurocopter, The Boeing Company,
Agusta, GKN Westland Helicopters, Kazan Helicopter and Rostvertol.
Current production programs at Sikorsky include the Black Hawk medium-
transport helicopter for the U.S. and foreign governments; the CH-60 Fleet
Combat Support helicopter for the U.S. Navy; the International Naval Hawk, a
derivative of the U.S. Navy's Seahawk medium-sized helicopter for multiple naval
missions; and the S-76 intermediate-sized helicopter for executive transport,
offshore oil platform support, search and rescue, emergency medical service and
other utility operations. Current production requirements for the CH-53E Super
Stallion heavy-lift helicopter ended in 1999 after the last delivery to the U.S.
Marine Corps. However, marketing efforts are continuing as there may be
opportunities for sales of these aircraft to foreign governments.
In July 1997, Sikorsky signed a multi-year contract with the U.S. Government
to deliver 108 Black Hawk family helicopters from July 1997 through June 2002.
Under the contract as it has been amended through December 1999, the purchase
commitment has been increased to 134 helicopters. As of December 31, 1999,
110 Black Hawk helicopters have been delivered under the contract. The U.S.
Government has periodically identified requirements for additional Black Hawk
family helicopters. Sikorsky is currently working with the U.S. Army to meet
some of these recently identified additional
- 8 -
<PAGE>
requirements. However, these requirements are not firm commitments and
management cannot predict with certainty whether, when and how many additional
aircraft may be purchased.
Declining Defense Department budgets make Sikorsky increasingly dependent
upon expanding its international market position. During 1999, Sikorsky signed
several contracts to sell helicopters to the Republic of Turkey, the largest of
which was a contract to sell 50 Black Hawk aircraft. Twenty-two aircraft were
delivered under these contracts with the Republic of Turkey in 1999. The
remaining aircraft will be delivered through 2001.
Sikorsky is engaged in development of the S-92 aircraft, a large cabin
derivative of the Black Hawk helicopter, for commercial and military markets. A
significant portion of the development is being carried out by companies in
Brazil, the People's Republic of China, Japan, Spain and Taiwan under
collaborative arrangements. Regulatory certification of the first S-92 is
expected in 2001. While marketing efforts for the S-92 have commenced,
management cannot predict with certainty whether, when, and in what quantities
the S-92 will be produced.
Sikorsky has a 50% interest in a joint venture with Boeing Helicopters for
the development of the U.S. Army's next generation light attack and
reconnaissance helicopter, the RAH-66 Comanche. The Boeing Sikorsky Team is
performing under a cost reimbursement contract awarded in 1991. The first two
prototype aircraft are undergoing flight testing. In addition, the team has
delivered a proposal to the U.S. Army to initiate the next phase of the program
to build 13 new production representative aircraft for testing and evaluation.
Management cannot predict with certainty whether, when, and in what quantities
the Comanche will be produced.
During 1999, Sikorsky received a developmental contract to refurbish four of
the U.S. Navy's Seahawks. There are more than 250 SH-60B, SH-60F and SH-60H
aircraft in the Navy's fleet that could also be refurbished and upgraded into
SH-60R aircraft. In addition, Sikorsky received its first contract for the
development of the Cypher, an unmanned aerial vehicle, for a U.S. Marine Corps
application. Management cannot predict with certainty whether, when and in what
quantities these aircraft will be refurbished or produced.
In 1999, Sikorsky acquired Associated Aircraft Group, an operator of
Sikorsky helicopters, for the purpose of establishing a fractional share
ownership program for S-76 helicopters.
Hamilton Sundstrand is a global producer of aerospace and industrial
products for diversified industries. Hamilton Sundstrand's principal aerospace
systems, subsystems and components include electric power generating,
distribution, management and control systems; fuel and special fluid pumps;
engine control systems; gearboxes; actuation systems; ram air turbine emergency
systems; auxiliary power units; environmental control systems; propeller

and compressors and leak proof pumps.
Hamilton Sundstrand is also the prime contractor for NASA's space suit/life
support system and produces environmental control, life support, mechanical
systems and thermal control systems for international space programs.
Hamilton Sundstrand's aerospace products serve commercial, military,
regional and general aviation, as well as space and undersea customers.
Aftermarket services include spare parts, overhaul and repair and engineering
and technical support. Hamilton Sundstrand aerospace products are sold directly
to airframe manufacturers, the U.S. Government, aircraft operators and
independent distributors. Hamilton Sundstrand sales of aerospace products to
Boeing, including sales where the U.S. Government was the ultimate customer,
were 7% of Flight Systems segment sales in 1999.
- 9 -
<PAGE>
Hamilton Sundstrand's industrial products serve a group of basic industries
involved with raw material processing, bulk material handling and construction
(including mining; metal and other material processing; hydrocarbon and chemical
procession; water and waste water treatment). Hamilton Sundstrand industrial
products are sold directly to end-users, through manufacturer representatives
and distributors and through engineering contractors. Demand for Hamilton
Sundstrand's industrial products is tied closely to the level of general
economic activity because the industrial products are sold to other businesses
that utilize them in their own manufacturing processes.
Hamilton Sundstrand has competitors or potential competitors in both its
aerospace and industrial businesses. Hamilton Sundstrand believes that its
research and development, proprietary technology, and product and service
reputations have been significant in maintaining its competitive standing.
Price and delivery are also important methods of competition.
Revenues generated by the Flight Systems segment's international operations,
including export sales, were 41 percent and 40 percent of total Flight Systems
segment revenues in 1999 and 1998, respectively. Such operations are subject to
local government regulations (including regulations relating to capital
conditions, currency conversion and repatriation of earnings) as well as to
various political and economic risks.
At December 31, 1999, the Flight Systems segment business backlog amounted
to $3,930 million, including $1,011 million under funded contracts and
subcontracts with the U.S. Government, as compared to $2,013 million and $1,030
million, respectively, at December 31, 1998. Of the total Flight Systems
segment business backlog at December 31, 1999, approximately $2,629 million is
expected to be realized as sales in 2000.
Other
In July 1998, the Corporation reorganized its fuel cell business to include
fuel cell systems for transportation applications, in addition to the existing
stationary power plant industry. Oversight of this business is now provided by
UTC directly. The results are included in the "Eliminations and Other" category
for financial segment reporting in Note 15 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements on pages 24 to 26 of the Corporation's 1999 Annual Report to
Shareowners.
Other Matters Relating to the Corporation's
Business as a Whole
Research and Development
To maintain its competitive position, the Corporation spends substantial
amounts of its own funds on research and development. Such expenditures, which
are charged to income as incurred, were $1,292 million or 5.4 percent of total
sales in 1999, as compared with $1,168 million or 5.1 percent of total sales in
1998 and $1,069 million or 5.1 percent of total sales in 1997. The Corporation
also performs research and development work under contracts funded by the U.S.
Government and other customers. Such contract research and development, which
is performed principally in the Pratt & Whitney segment and to a lesser extent
in the Flight Systems segment, amounted to $1,044 million in 1999, as compared
with $1,065 million in 1998 and $974 million in 1997.
Contracts, Other Risk Factors, Environmental and Other Matters
Government contracts are subject to termination for the convenience of the
Government, in which event the Corporation normally would be entitled to
reimbursement for its allowable costs incurred plus a reasonable profit. Most
of the Corporation's sales are made under fixed-price type contracts; only 5
percent of the Corporation's total sales for 1999 were made under cost-
reimbursement type contracts.
Like many defense contractors, the Corporation has received allegations from
the U.S. Government that some contract prices should be reduced because cost or
pricing data submitted in negotiation of the
- 10 -
<PAGE>
contract prices may not have been in conformance with government regulations.
The Corporation has made voluntary refunds in those cases it believes
appropriate, has settled some allegations, and does not believe that any further
price reductions that may be required will have a material effect upon its
financial position or results of operations.
The Corporation is now, and believes that in light of the current government
contracting environment it will be, the subject of one or more government
investigations. See Item 3 - Legal Proceedings at pages 13 through 15 of this
Form 10-K for further discussion.
The diversification of the Corporation's businesses across industries and
geographically throughout the world has helped to limit in varying degrees the
effect of adverse conditions in any one industry or the economy of any country
or region on the consolidated results of the Corporation. There can be no
assurance, however, that the effect of adverse conditions in one or more
industries or regions will be limited or offset in the future.
Like other users in the U.S., the Corporation is largely dependent upon
foreign sources for certain of its raw materials requirements such as cobalt
(Africa) and chromium (Africa, Eastern and Central Europe and the countries of
the former Soviet Union). To alleviate this dependence and accompanying risk,
the Corporation has a number of on-going programs which include the development
of new suppliers; the increased use of more readily available materials through
material substitutions and the development of new alloys; and conservation of
materials through scrap reclamation and new manufacturing processes such as net
shape forging.
The Corporation has sought cost reductions in its purchases of certain other
materials, components, and supplies by consolidating its purchases and reducing
the number of suppliers. In some instances, the Corporation is reliant upon a
single source of supply. A disruption in deliveries from its suppliers,
therefore, could have an adverse effect on the Corporation's ability to meet its
commitments to customers. The Corporation believes that it has appropriately
balanced the risks against the costs of sustaining a greater number of
suppliers.
The Corporation does not foresee any unavailability of materials,
components, or supplies which will have any material adverse effect on its
overall business, or on any of its business segments, in the near term.
The Corporation does not anticipate that compliance with current federal,
state and local provisions relating to the protection of the environment will
have a material adverse effect upon its cash flows, competitive position,
financial position or results of operations. (Environmental matters are the
subject of certain of the Legal Proceedings described in Item 3 - Legal
Proceedings at pages 13 to 15 of this Form 10-K, and are further addressed in
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial
Position at page 8 and Notes 1 and 14 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements at pages 16 and 24 of the Corporation's 1999 Annual Report to
Shareowners.)
Most of the laws governing environmental matters include criminal
provisions. If the Corporation were convicted of a violation of the federal
Clean Air Act or the Clean Water Act, the facility or facilities involved in the
violation would be listed on the Environmental Protection Agency's ("EPA") List
of Violating Facilities. The listing would continue until the EPA concluded
that the cause of the violation had been cured. Any listed facility cannot be
used in performing any U.S. Government contract awarded to the Corporation
during any period of listing by the EPA.
While the Corporation's patents, trademarks, licenses and franchises are
cumulatively important to its business, the Corporation does not believe that
the loss of any one or group of related patents, trademarks, licenses or
franchises would have a material adverse effect on the overall business of the
Corporation or on any of its operating segments.

Cautionary Note Concerning Factors That May Affect Future Results
This report on Form 10-K contains statements which, to the extent they are
not statements of historical or present fact, constitute "forward-looking
statements" under the securities laws. From time to time, oral or written
forward-looking statements may also be included in other materials released to
the public. These forward-looking statements are intended to provide
Management's current expectations or plans for the future operating and
financial performance of the Corporation, based on assumptions currently
believed to be valid. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use
of words such as "believe," "expect," "plans," "strategy," "prospects,"
"estimate," "project," "anticipate" and other words of similar meaning in
connection with a discussion of future operating or financial performance.
These include, among others, statements relating to:
. Future earnings and other measurements of financial performance
. Future cash flow and uses of cash
. The effect of economic downturns or growth in particular regions
. The effect of changes in the level of activity in particular industries or
markets
. The scope, nature or impact of acquisition activity
. Product developments and new business opportunities
. Restructuring costs and cost reduction efforts
. The outcome of contingencies
. The impact of Year 2000 issues
. The transition to the use of the euro as a currency.
All forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may
cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the
forward-looking statements. This Annual Report on Form 10-K for 1999 includes
important information as to risk factors in the "Business" section under the
headings "Description of Business by Operating Segment," "Other Matters Relating
to the Corporation's Business as a Whole" and "Legal Proceedings." Additional
important information as to risk factors is included in the Corporation's 1999
Annual Report to Shareowners in the section titled "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Position" under the headings
"Business Environment," "Restructuring and Other Costs," "Year 2000" and "Euro
Conversion," which is incorporated by reference in this Form 10-K. For
additional information identifying factors that may cause actual results to vary
materially from those stated in the forward-looking statements, see the
Corporation's reports on Forms 10-Q and 8-K filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission from time to time.
Employees
At December 31, 1999, the Corporation's total employment was approximately
148,300. For discussion of the effects of the Corporation's restructuring
actions on employment, see Management's Discussion and Analysis of the
Corporation's Results of Operations at pages 4 to 6 and Note 11 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements at pages 21 to 22 of the Corporation's 1999
Annual Report to Shareowners.

<PAGE>
Item 2. Properties
The Corporation's fixed assets as of December 31, 1999 include the plants
and warehouses described below and a substantial quantity of machinery and
equipment, most of which is general purpose machinery and equipment using
special jigs, tools and fixtures and in many instances having automatic control
features and special adaptations. The plants, warehouses, machinery and
equipment in use as of December 31, 1999 are in good operating condition, are
well maintained, and substantially all are in regular use. The Corporation
considers the level of fixed assets capitalized as of December 31, 1999,
suitable and adequate for the operations of each operating segment in the
current business environment.
The following square footage numbers are approximations. At December 31,
1999, the Corporation operated (a) plants in the U.S. which had 34.6 million
square feet, of which 3.9 million square feet were leased; (b) plants outside
the U.S. which had 20.8 million square feet, of which 3.2 million square feet
were leased; (c) warehouses in the U.S. which had 6.4 million square feet, of
which 4.2 million square feet were leased; and (d) warehouses outside the U.S.
which had 6.0 million square feet, of which 3.2 million square feet were
leased.
For discussion of the effect of the Corporation's restructuring actions on
production facilities, see Management's Discussion and Analysis of the
Corporation's Results of Operations at pages 4 to 6 and Note 11 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements at pages 21 to 22 of the Corporation's 1999
Annual Report to Shareowners.
Management believes that the facilities in operation at December 31, 1999
for the production of its products are suitable and adequate for the business
conducted therein, are being appropriately utilized consistent with experience
and have sufficient production capacity for their present intended purposes.
Utilization of the facilities varies based on demand for the products. The
Corporation continuously reviews its anticipated requirements for facilities
and, based on that review, may from time to time acquire additional facilities
and/or dispose of existing facilities.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
As previously reported, the Department of Defense and the Corporation are
litigating whether Pratt & Whitney's accounting practices for certain engine
parts are acceptable. The litigation, filed with the Armed Services Board of
Contract Appeals ("ASBCA"), No. 47416 et al., relates to the accounting for
engine parts produced by foreign companies under commercial engine collaboration
programs from 1984 through 1995. The Government initially claimed damages of
$260.3 million, of which $102.7 million was interest. Pratt & Whitney believes
its accounting practices are proper and has not modified them. If the
Government prevails, damages could be larger than initially claimed because
interest continues to accrue and the complaint could be amended to include the
period after 1995. In March and April 1998, the matter was tried before an
ASBCA judge. A decision is not expected for a number of months.
As previously reported, a jury in Chromalloy Gas Turbine Corporation v.
United Technologies Corporation, No. 95-CI-12541, a Texas state action, found
that Pratt & Whitney did not monopolize any relevant market but did willfully
attempt to monopolize an unspecified market. In May 1997, the court
entered a Final Judgment denying Chromalloy's request for damages, injunctive
relief and declaratory relief. In October 1998, the Texas Fourth Court of
Appeals affirmed the decision of the trial court, declining to grant injunctive
relief to Chromalloy. In November 1999, the appellate court denied Chromalloy's
motions for rehearing and rehearing en banc.
As previously reported, the Corporation has been served with a number of
qui tam complaints under the civil False Claims Act in the United States
District Court for the District of Connecticut: U.S. ex rel. Drake v. Norden
Systems, Inc. and UTC, No.394CV00963 (filed July 1997, and involving allegations
of improper accounting for fixed assets); U.S. ex rel. Capella v. UTC and Norden
Systems Inc., No. 394CV02063 (filed December 1994, and involving allegations of
improper accounting for
- 13 -
<PAGE>
insurance costs); U.S. ex rel. Maloni v. UTC, No. 395CV02431 (filed in November
1995 and involving allegations of failing to implement an "Inspection Method
Sheet Inspection System") and U.S. ex rel. Waldron v. UTC, No. 396CV02038
(filed in October 1996 and involving allegations of underestimating the costs of
performing a cost-type development contract). The qui tam relator in each case
has claimed unspecified damages (trebled) and penalties, and the Department of
Justice in each case has declined to take over the litigation. The civil False
Claims Act provides for penalties in a civil case of up to $10,000 per false
claim submitted. The number of false claims implicated by the foregoing qui tam
complaints cannot currently be ascertained; however, if determined adversely to
the Corporation the number could result in significant penalties.
As previously reported in the Corporation's Reports on Form 10-K for 1992
and 1998 and Form 10-Q for the Third Quarter of 1993, the Corporation entered
into a Consent Decree in August of 1993 with the EPA and the Department of
Justice in Docket Number H-90-715 (JAC) in the U.S. District Court for the
District of Connecticut. Under the Consent Decree, the Corporation agreed to
adopt programs to enhance the effectiveness of its environmental management
systems, have an independent firm conduct an audit of 19 of its facilities in
New England, and pay civil penalties for any non-compliance with environmental
laws and regulations discovered during the audit. In November 1999, following
completion of the audit of these 19 facilities, the Corporation agreed to pay
$168,836 in civil fines and undertake environmental projects requiring
expenditures of approximately $500,000.
In March 1999, the Department of Justice filed a civil False Claims Act
complaint against the Corporation in the United States District Court for the
Southern District of Ohio (Western Division), No. C-3-99-093. This lawsuit,
previously reported as a proceeding contemplated by the Government, is related
to the "Fighter Engine Competition" between Pratt & Whitney's F100 engine and
GE's F110 engine, for contracts awarded by the U.S. Air Force between fiscal
years 1985 and 1990, inclusive. The Government alleges that Pratt &Whitney
inflated its estimated costs for purchased parts and withheld data that would
have revealed the overstatements. The Government seeks damages of at least $75
million (some portion of which would be trebled plus penalties of up to $10,000
per claim submitted).
The Corporation does not believe that resolution of any of the foregoing
legal matters will have a material adverse effect upon the Corporation's
competitive position, results of operations, cash flows, or financial position.
The Corporation is now, and believes that in light of the current government
contracting environment it will be, the subject of one or more government
investigations. If the Corporation or one of its business units were charged
with wrongdoing as a result of any of these investigations, the Corporation or
one of its business units could be suspended from bidding on or receiving awards
of new government contracts pending the completion of legal proceedings. If
convicted or found liable, the Corporation could be fined and debarred from new
government contracting for a period generally not to exceed three years. Any
contracts found to be tainted by fraud could be voided by the Government.
The Corporation has incurred and will likely continue to incur liabilities
under various state and federal statutes for the cleanup of pollutants
previously released into the environment. The Corporation believes that any
payments it may be required to make as a result of these claims will not have
a material effect upon the cash flows, competitive or financial position, or
results of operations of the Corporation. The Corporation has had liability
and property insurance in force over its history with a number of insurance
companies, and the Corporation has commenced litigation seeking indemnity and
defense under these insurance policies in relation to its environmental
liabilities. Settlements to date, which have not been material, have been
recorded upon receipt. While the litigation against the Corporation's historic
liability insurers has concluded, the case against the Corporation's property
insurers is continuing. (For information regarding the matters discussed in
this paragraph, see "Environmental Matters" in Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Position at page 8 and
Notes 1 and 14 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements at pages 16
and 24 of the Corporation's 1999 Annual Report to Shareowners.)

BYLAWS
OF
UNITED TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION
SECTION 1 - Meetings Of Shareholders
SECTION 1.1 Annual Meetings.
Annual meetings of shareholders shall be held on or prior to April 30 in each
year for the purpose of electing directors and transacting such other proper
business as may come before the meeting.
SECTION 1.2 Special Meetings.
Special meetings of shareholders may be called from time to time by the Board of
Directors or by the chief executive officer of the Corporation. Special
meetings shall be held solely for the purpose or purposes specified in the
notice of meeting.
SECTION 1.3 Time and Place of Meetings.
Subject to the provisions of Section 1.1, each meeting of shareholders shall be
held on such date, at such hour and at such place as fixed by the Board of
Directors or in the notice of the meeting or, in the case of an adjourned
meeting, as announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken.
SECTION 1.4 Notice of Meetings.
A written notice of each meeting of shareholders, stating the place, date and
hour of the meeting and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or
purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be given either personally or by
mail to each shareholder entitled to vote at the meeting. Unless otherwise
provided by statute, the notice shall be given not less than 10 nor more than 60
days before the date of the meeting and, if mailed, shall be deposited in the
United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the shareholder at his address
as it appears on the records of the Corporation. No notice need be given to any
person with whom communication is unlawful, nor shall there be any duty to apply
for any permit or license to give notice to any such person. If the time and
place of an adjourned meeting of shareholders are announced at the meeting at
which the adjournment is taken, no notice need be given of the adjourned meeting
unless that adjournment is for more than 30 days or unless, after the
adjournment, a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting.
SECTION 1.5 Waiver of Notice.
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, notice of any meeting of
shareholders need not be given to any shareholder who in person or by proxy
shall have waived in writing notice of the meeting, either before or after such
meeting, or who shall attend the meeting in person or by proxy, unless he
attends for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting,
to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or
convened.
SECTION 1.6 Quorum and Manner of Acting.
Subject to the provisions of these Bylaws, the certificate of incorporation and
statute as to the vote that is required for a specified action, the presence in
person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the
Corporation entitled to vote at any meeting of shareholders shall constitute a
quorum for the transaction of business, and the vote in person or by proxy of
the holders of a majority of the shares constituting such quorum shall be
binding on all shareholders of the Corporation. A majority of the shares
present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote may, regardless of whether or
not they constitute a quorum, adjourn the meeting to another time and place.
Any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting may be
transacted at any adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present.
SECTION 1.7 Voting.
Shareholders shall be entitled to cumulative voting at all elections of
directors to the extent provided in or pursuant to the certificate of
incorporation. A shareholder may authorize another person or persons to vote
for him as proxy by: (a) executing a writing authorizing such other person or
persons to act for him as proxy, where execution of the writing is accomplished
by the shareholder or his authorized officer, director, employee or agent
signing such writing or causing his signature to be affixed to such writing by
any reasonable means including, but not limited to, by facsimile signature; or
(b) transmitting or authorizing the transmission of a telegram, cablegram, or
other means of electronic transmission to the person who will be the holder of
the proxy or to a proxy solicitation firm, proxy support service organization or
like agent duly authorized by the person who will be the holder of the proxy to
receive such transmission, provided, that any such telegram, cablegram or other
means of electronic transmission must either set forth or be submitted with
information from which it can be determined that the telegram, cablegram or
other electronic transmission was authorized by the shareholder. No proxy shall
be voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless the proxy
provides for a longer period.
SECTION 1.8 Judges.
The votes at each meeting of shareholders shall be supervised by not less than
two judges who shall decide all questions respecting the qualification of
voters, the validity of the proxies and the acceptance or rejection of votes.
The judges shall be appointed by the Board of Directors but if, for any reason,
there are less than two judges present and acting at any meeting, the chairman
of the meeting shall appoint an additional judge or judges so that there shall
always be at least two judges to act at the meeting.
SECTION 1.9 List of Shareholders.
A complete list of the shareholders entitled to vote at each meeting of
shareholders, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address and number
of shares registered in the name of each shareholder, shall be prepared and made
available for examination during regular business hours by any shareholder for
any purpose germane to the meeting. The list shall be available for such
examination at the place where the meeting is to be held for a period of not
less than 10 days prior to the meeting and during the whole time of the meeting.
SECTION 1.10 Notice of Shareholder Business and Nominations.
(A) Annual Meetings of Shareholders.
(1) Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors of the
Corporation and the proposal of business to be considered by the shareholders
may be made at an annual meeting of shareholders (a) pursuant to the
Corporation's notice of meeting, (b) by or at the direction of the Board of
Directors or (c) by any shareholder of the Corporation who was a shareholder of
record at the time of giving of notice provided for in this Section 1.10, who is
entitled to vote at the meeting and who complied with the notice procedures set
forth in this Section 1.10.
(2) For nominations or other business to be properly brought before an annual
meeting by a shareholder pursuant to clause (c) of paragraph (A)(1) of this
Section 1.10, the shareholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing
to the Secretary of the Corporation and such other business must be a proper
matter for shareholder action. To be timely, a shareholder's notice shall be
delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation
not later than the close of business on the 90th day nor earlier than the close
of business on the 120th day prior to the first anniversary of the preceding
year's annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the
annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after such
anniversary date, notice by the shareholder to be timely must be so delivered
not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to such annual
meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day
prior to such annual meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public
announcement of the date of such meeting is first made. In no event shall the
public announcement of an adjournment of an annual meeting commence a new time
period for the giving of a shareholder's notice as described above. Such
shareholder's notice shall set forth (a) as to each person whom the shareholder
proposes to nominate for election or reelection as a director all information
relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of
proxies for election of directors in an election contest, or is otherwise
required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and Rule 14a-11 thereunder
(including such person's written consent to being named in the proxy statement
as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected); (b) as to any other
business that the shareholder proposes to bring before the meeting, a brief
description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, the
reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and any material interest in
such business of such shareholder and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose
behalf the proposal is made; and (c) as to the shareholder giving the notice and
the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is
made, (i) the name and address of such shareholder, as they appear on the
Corporation's books, and of such beneficial owner and (ii) the class and number
of shares of the Corporation which are owned beneficially and of record by such
shareholder and such beneficial owner.
(3) Notwithstanding anything in the second sentence of paragraph (A)(2) of this
Section 1.10 to the contrary, in the event that the number of directors to be
elected to the Board of Directors of the Corporation is increased and there is
no public announcement naming all of the nominees for director or specifying the
size of the increased Board of Directors made by the Corporation at least 100
days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting, a
shareholder's notice required by this Section 1.10 shall also be considered
timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such
increase, if it shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive
offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the 10th day
following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the
Corporation.
(B) Special Meetings of Shareholders.
Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of shareholders as
shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the Corporation's notice
of meeting. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors may
be made at a special meeting of shareholders at which directors are to be
elected pursuant to the Corporation's notice of meeting (a) by or at the
direction of the Board of Directors or (b) by any shareholder of the Corporation
who is a shareholder of record at the time of giving of notice provided for in
this Section 1.10, who shall be entitled to vote at the meeting and who complies
with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 1.10. In the event the
Corporation calls a special meeting of shareholders for the purpose of electing
one or more directors to the Board of Directors, any such shareholder may
nominate a person or persons (as the case may be) for election to such
position(s) as specified in the Corporation's notice of meeting, if the
shareholder's notice required by paragraph (A)(2) of this Section 1.10 shall be
delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation
not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to such special
meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day
prior to such special meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public
announcement is first made of the date of the special meeting and of the
nominees proposed by the Board of Directors to be elected at such meeting. In
no event shall the public announcement of an adjournment of a special meeting
commence a new time period for the giving of a shareholder's notice as described
above.
(C) General.
(1) Only such persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set
forth in this Section 1.10 shall be eligible to serve as directors and only such
business shall be conducted at a meeting of shareholders as shall have been
brought before the meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this
Section 1.10. Except as otherwise provided by law, the chairman of the meeting
shall have the power and duty to determine whether a nomination or any business
proposed to be brought before the meeting was made, or proposed, as the case may
be, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 1.10 and, if any
proposed nomination or business is not in compliance with this Section 1.10, to
declare that such defective proposal or nomination shall be disregarded.
(2) For purposes of this Section 1.10, "public announcement" shall mean
disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated
Press or comparable national news service or in a document publicly filed by the
Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13,
14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
(3) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.10, a
shareholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange
Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set
forth in this Section 1.10. Nothing in this Section 1.10 shall be deemed to
affect any rights of shareholders to request inclusion of proposals in the
Corporation's proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act.
SECTION 1.11
(A) Consents to Corporate Action.
Any action which is required to be or may be taken at any annual or special
meeting of shareholders of the Corporation, subject to the provisions of
Subsections (B) and (C) of this Section 1.11, may be taken without a meeting,
without prior notice and without a vote if consents in writing, setting forth
the action so taken, shall have been signed by the holders of the outstanding
stock having not less than the minimum number of votes
that would be necessary to authorize or to take such action at a meeting at
which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted; provided,
however, that prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a
meeting and by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those
shareholders who have not consented in writing.
(B) Determination of Record Date of Action by Written Consent.
The record date for determining shareholders entitled to consent to corporate
action in writing without a meeting shall be fixed by the Board of Directors of
the Corporation. Any shareholder of record seeking to have the shareholders
authorize or take corporate action by written consent without a meeting shall,
by written notice to the Secretary, request the Board of Directors to fix a
record date. Upon receipt of such a request, the Secretary shall place such
request before the Board of Directors at its next regularly scheduled meeting,
provided, however, that if the shareholder represents in such request that he
intends, and is prepared, to commence a consent solicitation as soon as is
permitted by the Exchange Act and the regulations thereunder and other
applicable law, the Secretary shall as promptly as practicable, call a special
meeting of the Board of Directors, which meeting shall be held as promptly as
practicable. At such regular or special meeting, the Board of Directors shall
fix a record date as provided in Section 213 (or its successor provision) of the
Delaware General Corporation Law. Should the Board fail to fix a record date as
provided for in this Subsection (B), then the record date shall be the day on
which the first written consent is expressed.
(C) Procedures for Written Consent.
In the event of the delivery to the Corporation of a written consent or consents
purporting to represent the requisite voting power to authorize or take
corporate action and/or related revocations, the Secretary shall provide for the
safekeeping of such consents and revocations and shall, as promptly as
practicable, engage nationally recognized independent judges of election for the
purpose of promptly performing a ministerial review of the validity of the
consents and revocations. No action by written consent and without a meeting
shall be effective until such judges have completed their review, determined
that the requisite number of valid and unrevoked consents has been obtained to
authorize or take the action specified in the consents, and certified such
determination for entry in the records of the Corporation kept for the purpose
of recording the proceedings of meetings of shareholders.
SECTION 2 - Board of Directors
SECTION 2.1 Number and Term of Office.
The number of directors shall be not less than 10 nor more than 19. The exact
number, within those limits, shall be fixed from time to time by the Board of
Directors. Each director shall hold office until a successor is elected and
qualified or until his earlier death, resignation or removal.
SECTION 2.2 Election.
The directors shall be elected annually by written ballot and, at each election,
the nominees receiving the greatest number of votes shall be the directors.

As promptly as practicable after each annual meeting of shareholders, an
organization meeting of the Board of Directors shall be held for the purpose of
organization and the transaction of other business.
SECTION 2.4 Stated Meetings.
The Board of Directors may provide for stated meetings of the Board.
SECTION 2.5 Special Meetings.
Special meetings of the Board of Directors may be called from time to time by

officer of the Corporation in concert with two directors.
SECTION 2.6 Business of Meetings.
Except as otherwise expressly provided in these Bylaws, any and all business may
be transacted at any meeting of the Board of Directors; provided, that if so
stated in the notice of meeting, the business transacted at a special meeting
shall be limited to the purpose or purposes specified in the notice.
SECTION 2.7 Time and Place of Meetings.
Subject to the provisions of Section 2.3, each meeting of the Board of Directors
shall be held on such date, at such hour and in such place as fixed by the Board
or in the notice or waivers of notice of the meeting or, in the case of an
adjourned meeting, as announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is
taken.
SECTION 2.8 Notice of Meetings.
No notice need be given of any organization or stated meeting of the Board of
Directors for which the date, hour and place have been fixed by the Board.
Notice of the date, hour and place of all other organization and stated
meetings, and of all special meetings, shall be given to each director
personally, by telephone or telegraph or by mail. If by mail, the notice shall
be deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the
director at his residence or usual place of business as the same appears on the
books of the Corporation not later than four days before the meeting. If given
by telegraph, the notice shall be directed to the director at his residence or
usual place of business as the same appears on the books of the Corporation not
later than at any time during the day before the meeting. If given personally
or by telephone, the notice shall be given not later than the day before the
meeting.
SECTION 2.9 Waiver of Notice.
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, notice of any meeting of the
Board of Directors need not be given to any director who shall have waived in
writing notice of the meeting, either before or after the meeting, or who shall
attend such meeting, unless he attends for the express purpose of objecting, at
the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the
meeting is not lawfully called or convened.
SECTION 2.10 Attendance by Telephone.
Directors may participate in meetings of the Board of Directors by means of
conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all
directors participating in the meeting can hear one another, and such
participation shall constitute presence in person at the meeting.
SECTION 2.11 Quorum and Manner of Acting.
One-third of the total number of directors at the time provided for pursuant to
Section 2.1 shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any
meeting of the Board of Directors and, except as otherwise provided in these
Bylaws, in the certificate of incorporation or by statute, the act of a majority
of the directors present at any meeting at which a quorum is present shall be
the act of the Board. A majority of the directors present at any meeting,
regardless of whether or not they constitute a quorum, may adjourn the meeting
to another time or place. Any business which might have been transacted at the
original meeting may be transacted at any adjourned meeting at which a quorum is
present.
SECTION 2.12 Action Without a Meeting.
Any action which could be taken at a meeting of the Board of Directors may be
taken without a meeting if all of the directors consent to the action in writing
and the writing or writings are filed with the minutes of the Board.
SECTION 2.13 Compensation of Directors.
Each director of the Corporation who is not a salaried officer or employee of
the Corporation, or of a subsidiary of the Corporation, may receive compensation
for serving as a director and for serving as a member of any Committee of the
Board, and may also receive fees for attendance at any meetings of the Board or
any Committee of the Board, and the Board may from time to time fix the amount
and method of payment of such compensation and fees; provided, that no director
of the Corporation shall receive any bonus or share in the earnings or profits
of the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation except pursuant to a
plan approved by the shareholders at a meeting called for the purpose. The
Board may also, by vote of a majority of disinterested directors, provide for
and pay fair compensation to directors rendering services to the Corporation not
ordinarily rendered by directors as such.
SECTION 2.14 Resignation of Directors.
Any director may resign at any time upon written notice to the Corporation. The
resignation shall become effective at the time specified in the notice and,
unless otherwise provided in the notice, acceptance of the resignation shall not
be necessary to make it effective.
SECTION 2.15 Removal of Directors.
Any director may be removed, either for or without cause, at any time, by the
affirmative vote of the holders of record of a majority of the outstanding
shares of stock entitled to vote at a meeting of the shareholders called for the
purpose, and the vacancy in the Board caused by any such removal may be filled
by the shareholders at such meeting or at any subsequent meeting; provided, that
no director elected by a class vote of less than all the outstanding shares of
the Corporation may, so long as the right to such a class vote continues in
effect, be removed pursuant to this Section 2.15, except for cause and by the
affirmative vote of the holders of record of a majority of the outstanding
shares of such class at a meeting called for the purpose, and the vacancy in the
Board caused by the removal of any such director may, so long as the right to
such class vote continues in effect, be filled by the holders of the outstanding
shares of such class at such meeting or at any subsequent meeting; provided,
further, that if less than all the directors then in office are to be removed,
no director may be removed without cause if the votes cast against his removal
would be sufficient to elect him if then cumulatively voted at an election of
the whole Board of Directors or, in the case of directors elected by a class
vote, the right to which class vote is still then in effect, if the votes cast
against his removal would be sufficient to elect him if then cumulatively voted
at an election of the class of directors of which he is a part.
SECTION 2.16 Filling of Vacancies Not Caused by Removal.
Vacancies and newly created directorships resulting from an increase in the
authorized number of directors may be filled by a majority of the directors then
in office, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director;
provided, that if the vacancy to be filled would, at an election of the whole
Board of Directors, be filled by a class vote of less than all of the
outstanding shares of the Corporation, and if any of the directors remaining in
office were elected by the same class, such majority vote of the directors shall
be effective only if it is concurred in by a majority of the remaining directors
elected by such class or by a sole remaining director elected by such class. If
for any reason there shall be no directors in office, any officer, any
shareholder or any executor, administrator, trustee or guardian of a
shareholder, or other fiduciary with like responsibility for the person or
estate of a shareholder, may call a special meeting of shareholders in
accordance with the provisions of these Bylaws for the purpose of electing
directors.
SECTION 3 - Committees of the Board of Directors
SECTION 3.1 Executive Committee.
By resolution adopted by an affirmative vote of the majority of the whole Board
of Directors, the Board may appoint an Executive Committee consisting of the
directors who occupy the offices of the Chairman, chief executive and operating
officers of the Corporation, ex officio, and two or more other directors and, if
deemed desirable, one or more directors as alternate members who may replace any
absentee or disqualified member at any meeting of the Executive Committee. If
so appointed, the Executive Committee shall, when the Board is not in session,
have all the power and authority of the Board in the management of the business
and affairs of the Corporation not reserved to the Board by Section 3.3. The
Executive Committee shall keep a record of its acts and proceedings and shall
report the same from time to time to the Board of Directors.
SECTION 3.2 Other Committees.
By resolution adopted by an affirmative vote of the majority of the whole Board
of Directors, the Board may from time to time appoint such other Committees of
the Board, consisting of one or more directors and, if deemed desirable, one or
more directors who shall act as alternate members and who may replace any
absentee or disqualified member at any meeting of the Committee, and may
delegate to each such Committee any of the powers and authority of the Board in
the management of the business and affairs of the Corporation not reserved to
the Board pursuant to Section 3.3. Each such Committee shall keep a record of
its acts and proceedings.
SECTION 3.3 Powers Reserved to the Board.
No Committee of the Board shall take any action to amend the certificate of
incorporation or these Bylaws, adopt any agreement to merge or consolidate the
Corporation, declare any dividend or recommend to the shareholders a sale, lease
or exchange of all or substantially all of the assets and property of the
Corporation, a dissolution of the Corporation or a revocation of a dissolution
of the Corporation. No Committee of the Board shall take any action which is
required in these Bylaws, in the certificate of incorporation or by statute to
be taken by a vote of a specified proportion of the whole Board of Directors.
SECTION 3.4 Election of Committee Members; Vacancies.
So far as practicable, members of the Committees of the Board and their
alternates (if any) shall be appointed at each organization meeting of the Board
of Directors and, unless sooner discharged by an affirmative vote of the
majority of the whole Board, shall hold office until the next organization
meeting of the Board and until their respective successors are appointed. In
the absence or disqualification of any member of a Committee of the Board, the
member or members (including alternates) present at any meeting of the Committee
and not disqualified from voting, whether or not he or they constitute a quorum,
may unanimously appoint another director to act at the meeting in place of any
absent or disqualified member. Vacancies in Committees of the Board created by
death, resignation or removal may be filled by an affirmative vote of a majority
of the whole Board of Directors.
SECTION 3.5 Meetings.
Each Committee of the Board may provide for stated meetings of such Committee.
Special meetings of each Committee may be called by any two members of the
Committee (or, if there is only one member, by that member in concert with the
chief executive officer) or by the chief executive and chief operating officers
of the Corporation. The provisions of Section 2 regarding the business, time
and place, notice and waivers of notice of meetings, attendance at meetings and
action without a meeting shall apply to each Committee of the Board, except that
the references in such provisions to the directors and the Board of Directors
shall be deemed, respectively, to be references to the members of the Committee
and to the Committee.
SECTION 3.6 Quorum and Manner of Acting.
A majority of the members of any Committee of the Board shall constitute a
quorum for the transaction of business at meetings of the Committee, and the act
of a majority of the members present at any meeting at which a quorum is present
shall be the act of the Committee. A majority of the members present at any
meeting, regardless of whether or not they constitute a quorum, may adjourn the
meeting to another time or place. Any business which might have been transacted
at the original meeting may be transacted at any adjourned meeting at which a
quorum is present.

and such other elected officers as shall from time to time be designated by the
Board of Directors. The Board shall designate from among such elected officers
a chief executive officer, a chief operating officer, a chief financial officer
and a chief accounting officer of the Corporation, and may from time to time
make, or provide for, other designations it deems appropriate. The Board may
also appoint, or provide for the appointment of, such other officers and agents

affairs of the Corporation. Any number of offices may be held by the same
person, except no person may at the same time be both the chief executive and
the chief financial officer.
SECTION 4.2 Duties of the Chairman.
The Chairman shall preside, when present, at each meeting of shareholders and at

powers and duties as may from time to time be committed to him by the Board of
Directors.
SECTION 4.3 Duties of the Chief Executive Officer.
Under the general supervision of the Chairman, the chief executive officer of
the Corporation shall, in the absence of the Chairman, preside at all meetings
of shareholders and at all meetings of the Board of Directors, the Executive
Committee and, except to the extent otherwise provided in these Bylaws or by the
Board, shall have general authority to execute any and all documents in the name
of the Corporation and general and active supervision and control of all of the
business and affairs of the Corporation. In the absence of the chief executive
officer, his duties shall be performed and his powers may be exercised by the
chief operating officer or by such other officer as shall be designated either
by the chief executive officer in writing or (failing such designation) by the
Executive Committee or Board of Directors.
SECTION 4.4 Duties of Other Officers.
The other officers of the Corporation shall have such powers and duties not
inconsistent with these Bylaws as may from time to time be conferred upon them
in or pursuant to resolutions of the Board of Directors, and shall have such

Directors in a book to be kept for that purpose.
SECTION 4.5 Term of Office and Vacancy.
So far as practicable, the elected officers shall be elected at each
organization meeting of the Board, and shall hold office until the next
organization meeting of the Board and until their respective successors are
elected and qualified. If a vacancy shall occur in any elected office, the
Board of Directors may elect a successor for the remainder of the term.
Appointed officers shall hold office at the pleasure of the Board or of the
officer or officers authorized by the Board to make such appointments. Any
officer may resign by written notice to the Corporation.

Elected officers may be removed at any time, either for or without cause, by the
affirmative vote of a majority of the whole Board of Directors at a meeting
called for that purpose.
SECTION 4.7 Compensation of Elected Officers.
The compensation of all elected officers of the Corporation shall be fixed from
time to time by the Board of Directors; provided, that no elected officer of the
Corporation shall receive any bonus or share in the earnings or profits of the
Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation except pursuant to a plan
approved by the shareholders at a meeting called for the purpose.
SECTION 5 - Shares and Transfer of Shares
SECTION 5.1 Certificates.
The shares of the Corporation shall be represented by certificates or, if and to
the extent the Board of Directors determines, shall be uncertificated shares.
Notwithstanding any such determination by the Board of Directors, every
shareholder shall be entitled to a certificate signed by the Chairman or the
President or a Vice President and by the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer or
the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary, certifying the class and number of
shares owned by him in the Corporation; provided, that, where such certificate
is countersigned by a Transfer Agent or a Registrar, the signature of any such
Chairman, President, Vice President, Treasurer, Assistant Treasurer, Secretary
or Assistant Secretary may be a facsimile. In case any officer or officers who
shall have signed or whose facsimile signature or signatures shall have been
used on any such certificate or certificates shall cease to be such officer or
officers, whether because of death, resignation or otherwise, before such
certificate or certificates shall have been issued by the Corporation, such
certificate or certificates may be issued by the Corporation with the same
effect as if he or they were such officer or officers at the date of issue.
SECTION 5.2 Transfer Agents and Registrars.
The Board of Directors may, in its discretion, appoint one or more responsible
banks or trust companies in the City of New York and in such other city or
cities (if any) as the Board may deem advisable, from time to time, to act as
Transfer Agents and Registrars of shares of the Corporation; and, when such
appointments shall have been made, no certificate for shares of the Corporation
shall be valid until countersigned by one of such Transfer Agents and registered
by one of such Registrars.
SECTION 5.3 Transfers of Shares.
Shares of the Corporation may be transferred upon authorization by the record
holder thereof, or by an attorney thereunto authorized by power of attorney duly
executed and filed with the Secretary or with a Transfer Agent and Registrar,
and by the delivery of the certificates therefor, provided such shares are
represented by certificates, accompanied either by an assignment in writing on
the back of the certificates or by written power of attorney to sell, assign or
transfer the same, signed by the record holder thereof, but no transfer shall
affect the right of the Corporation to pay any dividend upon the shares to the
holder of record thereof, or to treat the holder of record as the holder in fact
thereof for all purposes; and no transfer shall be valid, except between the
parties thereto, until such transfer shall have been made upon the books of the
Corporation.
SECTION 5.4 Lost Certificates.
In case any certificate for shares of the Corporation shall be lost, stolen or
destroyed, the Board of Directors, in its discretion, or any Transfer Agent
thereunto duly authorized by the Board, may authorize the issuance of a
substitute certificate in place of the certificate so lost, stolen or destroyed,
and may cause such substitute certificate to be countersigned by the appropriate
Transfer Agent (if any) and registered by the appropriate Registrar (if any);
provided, that in each such case, the applicant for a substitute certificate
shall furnish to the Corporation and to such of its Transfer Agents and
Registrars as may require same, evidence to their satisfaction, in their
discretion, of the loss, theft or destruction of such certificate and of the
ownership thereof, and such security or indemnity as may be required by them.
SECTION 5.5 Record Dates.
In order that the Corporation may determine the shareholders entitled to notice
of or to vote at any meeting of shareholders, or any adjournment thereof, or to
consent to action in writing without a meeting, or entitled to receive payment
of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to
exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of shares
or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix,
in advance, a record date which shall be not more than 60 nor less than 10 days
before the date of any meeting of shareholders, and not more than 60 days prior
to any other action. In such case, those shareholders, and only those
shareholders, who are shareholders of record on the date fixed by the Board of
Directors shall, notwithstanding any subsequent transfer of shares on the books
of the Corporation, be entitled to notice of and to vote at such meeting of
shareholders, or any adjournment thereof, or to consent to such corporate action
in writing without a meeting, or be entitled to receive payment of such dividend
or other distribution or allotment of rights, or be entitled to exercise rights
in respect of any such change, conversion or exchange of shares or to
participate in any such other lawful action.
SECTION 6 - Miscellaneous
SECTION 6.1 Fiscal Year.
The fiscal year of the Corporation shall be the calendar year.
SECTION 6.2 Surety Bonds.
The chief financial officer, the Controller, the Treasurer, each Assistant

Corporation for the faithful performance of their duties in such amounts and by
such surety companies as the Board may from time to time determine.

All bills, notes, checks or other instruments for the payment of money shall be
signed or countersigned in such manner as from time to time may be prescribed by
resolution of the Board of Directors.

of the books and accounts of the Corporation. As soon as reasonably practicable
after the close of the fiscal year, the shareholders shall be furnished with
consolidated financial statements of the Corporation and its consolidated
subsidiaries, as at the end of such fiscal year, duly certified by such General
Auditor, subject to such notes or comments as the General Auditor shall deem
necessary or desirable for the information of the shareholders. In case the
shareholders shall at any time fail to appoint a General Auditor or in case the
General Auditor appointed by the shareholders shall decline to act or shall
resign or otherwise become incapable of acting, the Board of Directors shall
appoint a General Auditor to discharge the duties provided for herein. Any
General Auditor appointed pursuant to any of the provisions hereof shall be
directly responsible to the shareholders, and the fees and expenses of any such
General Auditor shall be paid by the Corporation.
SECTION 6.5 Indemnification of Officers, Directors, Employees, Agents and
Fiduciaries; Insurance.
(A) The Corporation may indemnify, in accordance with and to the full extent
permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware as in effect at the time of the
adoption of this Section 6.5 or as such laws may be amended from time to time,
and shall so indemnify to the full extent permitted by such laws, any person
(and the heirs and legal representatives of any such person) made or threatened
to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, by reason
of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee, agent or
fiduciary of the Corporation or any constituent corporation absorbed in a
consolidation or merger, or serves as such with another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise at the request of the
Corporation or any such constituent corporation.
(B) By action of the Board of Directors notwithstanding any interest of the
directors in such action, the Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance in
such amounts as the Board of Directors deems appropriate on behalf of any person
who is or was a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of the
Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a
director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability
asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of
his status as such, whether or not the Corporation shall have the power to
indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of this Section 6.5.

MANAGEMENT'S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of
Operations and Financial Position
The Corporation's operations are classified into four operating segments.
Carrier and Otis serve customers in the commercial property and residential
housing industries. Pratt & Whitney and the Flight Systems segment serve
commercial and government customers in the aerospace industry. The Flight
Systems segment includes the former Hamilton Standard division and the former
Sundstrand Corporation ("Sundstrand"), collectively known as Hamilton
Sundstrand, and Sikorsky Aircraft. The Corporation's segment operating results
are discussed in the Segment Review and Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements.
Business Environment
As worldwide businesses, the Corporation's operations are affected by global and
regional economic factors. However, the diversity of the Corporation's
businesses and global market presence have helped limit the impact of any one
industry or the economy of any single country on the consolidated results.
Revenues from outside the U.S., including U.S. export sales, in dollars
and as a percentage of total segment revenues, are as follows:
IN MILLIONS OF DOLLARS 1999 1998 1997 1999 1998 1997
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Europe $ 4,433 $ 4,252 $ 3,857 18% 18% 18%
Asia Pacific 2,615 2,487 2,943 11% 11% 13%

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
International
Segment Revenues $13,162 $13,353 $12,988 54% 57% 60%
================================================================================
The deterioration of economic conditions in Asia appears to have subsided.
The countries involved in the 1997 Asian economic collapse are now beginning to
experience positive economic growth. Overall, however, growth is proceeding at a
slower pace than experienced before the 1997 crisis and production levels in
several countries are below their pre-crisis output. Credit availability is less
restrictive than experienced immediately following the crisis, but slower growth
is resulting in lower demand for construction. Management believes the long-term
economic growth prospects of the region remain intact and, consequently, the
Corporation's Asian investment strategy continues to focus on the long-term
infrastructure requirements of the region.
As part of its globalization strategy, the Corporation has invested in
businesses in other markets, including the People's Republic of China, the
former Soviet Union, Brazil and South Korea, which carry higher levels of
currency, political and economic risk. At December 31, 1999, the Corporation's
net investment in any one of these countries was less than 5% of consolidated
equity.
In early 1999, the Brazilian Real devalued significantly, negatively
impacting the translation of Real denominated operating results into U.S.
dollars and contributing to a slowing of regional economic activity.
OTIS is the world's largest elevator and escalator manufacturing, installation
and service company. Otis is impacted by global and regional economic factors,
particularly fluctuations in commercial construction, which affect new equipment
installations, and labor costs, which can impact service and maintenance margins
on installed elevators and escalators. In 1999, 78% of Otis' revenues were
generated outside the U.S. Accordingly, changes in foreign currency exchange
rates can significantly affect the translation of Otis' operating results into
U.S. dollars for financial reporting purposes.
During 1999, U.S. office building construction starts remained strong with
commercial vacancy rates at some of the lowest levels of the decade. In Europe,
Otis' new equipment activity increased along with a growing base of service
business. Otis maintains a significant presence in the Asia Pacific region where
construction activity remained weak, though conditions have improved since 1998.
CARRIER is the world's largest manufacturer of commercial and residential
heating, ventilating and air conditioning ("HVAC") systems and equipment.
Carrier also produces transport and commercial refrigeration equipment and
provides after-market service and components for both the HVAC and refrigeration
industries. During 1999, 48% of Carrier's revenues were generated by
international operations and U.S. exports. Carrier's results are impacted by a
number of external factors including commercial and residential construction
activity worldwide, regional economic and weather conditions and changes in
foreign currency exchange rates.
U.S. residential housing and commercial construction starts increased in
1999 compared to 1998. European construction activity increased in 1999 while
construction activity in Asia remained weak.
PRATT & WHITNEY and the FLIGHT SYSTEMS segment produce commercial and government
aerospace products, and government defense products.
The financial performance of those segments is directly tied to the
aviation industry. Pratt & Whitney is a major supplier of commercial, general
aviation and military aircraft engines, along with spare parts, product support
and a full range of overhaul, repair and fleet management services. The Flight
Systems segment provides power generation, distribution and management systems;
environmental, flight and fuel control systems; propellers for commercial and
military aircraft; and space life support systems through Hamilton Sundstrand,
and commercial and military helicopters, along with after-market products and
services, through Sikorsky Aircraft.
Commercial Aerospace
Worldwide airline profits, traffic growth and load factors have been reliable
indicators for new aircraft and after-market orders. During 1999, some airline
earnings were adversely impacted by rising fuel prices and higher labor costs,
among other factors. This erosion in earnings has resulted in a decrease in new
orders for aerospace products. The impact of a continued slowdown in the
aviation industry will likely result in lower manufacturing volumes and
after-market orders in the near term.
Over the past several years, Pratt & Whitney's mix of large commercial
engine shipments has shifted to newer, higher thrust engines for wide-bodied
aircraft in a market which is very price and product competitive. However,
during 1998, to diversify its product base, Pratt & Whitney launched the PW6000
engine, a 16,000 to 24,000 pound-thrust engine designed specifically for the
short-to-medium haul, 90 to 130 passenger, narrow-bodied aircraft market. This
new engine was
2 UNITED TECHNOLOGIES
<PAGE>
chosen by Airbus to power its new 100 passenger A318 aircraft, which is
currently under development. The PW6000 engine is expected to enter service in
2002.
Other areas of focus for Pratt & Whitney are the follow-on spare parts
sales for engines in service and the overhaul and maintenance after-market
business. Spare parts sales trends are impacted by many factors, including
usage, pricing, regulatory changes and retirement of older aircraft. The
after-market business is being impacted by technological improvements to newer
generation engines that increase reliability and by the increased presence of
engine manufacturers in the overhaul and maintenance business. Pratt & Whitney
continued to build its after-market business in 1999 with four acquisitions,
including the acquisition of Cade Industries.
Hamilton Sundstrand continues to concentrate its commercial business on
nose-to-tail systems and support for its aircraft manufacturing customers. As
those customers have reduced supplier bases and sought lower cost packages,
Hamilton Sundstrand has focused on developing new product offerings, acquiring
businesses with complimentary products and expanding its customer and
after-market business.
The growth in the general aviation market is closely tied to the overall
health of the economy and is correlated to corporate profits. While there
continues to be backlog in the general aviation market, prospects for growth in
this market will likely be contingent on future corporate earnings strength.
Government Business
During 1999, the Corporation's sales to the U.S. Government were $3,342 million
or 14% of total sales, compared with $3,264 million or 14% of total sales in
1998 and $3,311 million or 16% of total sales in 1997.
The defense portion of the Corporation's aerospace businesses continues to
respond to a changing global political environment. The U.S. defense industry
continues to downsize and consolidate in response to continued pressure on U.S.
and global defense spending. Customers, both U.S. and global, have ongoing
efforts to review and reprioritize research and procurement initiatives.
Sikorsky is the primary supplier of transport helicopters to the U.S.
Army. Sikorsky will continue to supply Black Hawk helicopters and derivatives
thereof to the U.S. and foreign governments under contracts extending into 2002.
A Sikorsky-Boeing joint venture is also under contract with the U.S. Army to
develop prototypes, flight test and field test Comanche helicopters, the U.S.
Army's 21st century combat helicopter. The first two prototype aircraft are
currently undergoing flight testing.
The significant decrease in the U.S. defense procurement of helicopters in
recent years has resulted in overcapacity among U.S. helicopter manufacturers.
Sikorsky is responding by lowering its cost structure, improving its existing
products, concentrating on increasing its after-market and foreign government
sales and developing new products. In addition to the Comanche, Sikorsky is
leading an international team in developing the S-92, a large cabin derivative
of the Black Hawk family, for the commercial and military markets. This aircraft
made its first flight in December 1998 and two test aircraft are currently being
flown.
Pratt & Whitney engines have been selected to power two of the primary
U.S. Air Force programs of the future: the C-17 airlifter (F117 engine), which
is currently in production, and the F-22 fighter (F119 engine), which is
currently being developed. Derivatives of Pratt & Whitney's F119 engine were
chosen to provide power for the Joint Strike Fighter demonstration aircraft. The
Joint Strike Fighter program is intended to lead to the development of a single
aircraft, with two configurations, to satisfy future requirements of the U.S.
Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps and the United Kingdom Royal Navy. In addition,
Pratt & Whitney continues to deliver F100 engines and military spare parts to
both U.S. and foreign governments. Over time, the mix of Pratt & Whitney's
business is expected to shift from the F100 engine to the F119 engine.
Hamilton Sundstrand supplies systems for fixed and rotary wing aircraft
used in military applications that are incorporated into current production
aircraft. Hamilton Sundstrand's military businesses have been negatively
impacted by reductions in U.S. defense procurement and delays of foreign
military programs.

Revenues $24,127 $22,809 $21,288
================================================================================
Consolidated revenues increased 6% in 1999 and 7% in 1998. The revenue growth in
1999 was primarily due to an increase in revenues at Carrier and Otis and the
acquisition of Sundstrand in the Flight Systems segment, which more than offset
a decrease at Pratt & Whitney. Excluding the unfavorable impact of foreign
currency translation, consolidated revenues increased by 7% in 1999 and 9% in
1998.
Financing revenues and other income, net, increased $261 million in 1999
and decreased $204 million in 1998. The fluctuations were primarily related to
1998 costs associated with Pratt & Whitney's repurchases of participant
interests in commercial engine programs, partially offset by the favorable
settlement of a contract dispute with the U.S. Government.

related to restructuring and other charges of $865 million recorded in cost of
sales (3.6 percentage point decrease), while the 1998 increase was primarily due
to improved margin percentages at Pratt & Whitney. Cost of sales and gross
margin will continue to be impacted in 2000, though to a lesser extent, by
additional costs associated with the 1999 restructuring actions that were not
accruable in 1999.

billion of 6.4% to 7.5% notes in September 1999 and $325 million of 6.625% notes
in November 1999. Interest expense in 1998 increased 5% due to increased
short-term borrowing needs and the issuance of $400 million of 6.7% notes in
August 1998. Interest expense is expected to increase in the future given the
increased levels of debt.

The average interest rate, for the year, on short-term borrowings exceeded
that of total debt due to higher short-term borrowing rates in certain foreign
operations.
The weighted-average interest rate applicable to debt outstanding at
December 31, 1999 was 7.5% for short-term borrowings and 7.2% for total debt.

Effective income tax rate 25.9% 31.4% 32.7%
The Corporation has continued to reduce its effective income tax rate by
implementing tax reduction strategies. The 1999 effective tax rate includes the
impact of the Corporation's 1999 restructuring actions. Excluding restructuring,
the 1999 effective tax rate was 30.9%.
The future tax benefit arising from net deductible temporary differences
is $2,436 million and relates to expenses recognized for financial reporting
purposes which will result in tax deductions over varying future periods.
Management believes that the Corporation's earnings during the periods when the
temporary differences become deductible will be sufficient to realize those
future income tax benefits.
While some tax credit and loss carryforwards have no expiration date,
certain foreign and state tax loss carryforwards arise in a number of different
tax jurisdictions with expiration dates beginning in 2000. For those
jurisdictions where the expiration date or the projected operating results
indicate that realization is not likely, a valuation allowance has been
provided.
The Corporation believes, based upon a review of prior period income tax
returns, it is entitled to income tax refunds for prior periods. The Internal
Revenue Service reviews these potential refunds as part of the examination of
the Corporation's income tax returns and the impact on the Corporation's
liability for income taxes for these years cannot presently be determined.

Stock Split
On April 30, 1999, the Corporation announced a two-for-one stock split paid in
the form of a stock dividend to shareowners of record at the close of business
on May 7, 1999. All common share and per share amounts reflect the stock split.
Acquisitions of Businesses
During 1999, the Corporation invested approximately $6.3 billion, including debt
assumed, in acquisitions of businesses. In June 1999, the Corporation completed
its acquisition of Sundstrand Corporation, a global producer of aerospace and
industrial products, for approximately $4.3 billion. Other significant 1999
acquisition activity included:
o Carrier's acquisition of International Comfort Products, a North
American manufacturer and marketer of heating and air conditioning
equipment
o Carrier's global strategic alliance with Toshiba Corporation, a
Japanese producer of residential and light commercial air
conditioning, ventilation and refrigeration equipment, and
compressors
o Otis' acquisition, through LG Otis Elevator, of LG Industrial
Systems' Building Facilities Group, a South Korean based company
that manufactures, sells, installs and maintains elevators,
escalators and related equipment
o Pratt & Whitney's purchase of Cade Industries, a North American
aerospace composite component and engine test cell manufacturer and
service provider.
For additional discussion of 1999 acquisitions, see Liquidity and
Financing Commitments and Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.
Dispositions of Businesses
In May 1999, the Corporation sold its UT Automotive unit to Lear Corporation for
$2.3 billion, which resulted in an after-tax gain of $650 million. UT Automotive
results, through the date of disposition, appear as income from operations of
the discontinued UT Automotive unit in the Consolidated Statement of Operations
for all years presented.
Restructuring and Other Costs
During 1999, the Corporation's operating segments initiated a variety of actions
aimed at further strengthening their future profitability and competitive
position. Those actions focused principally on rationalizing manufacturing
processes, resulting in the closure of facilities, and improving the overall
level of organizational efficiency, including the removal of management layers.
Restructuring charges accrued in 1999 were $842 million before income taxes and
minority interests and will result in net reductions of approximately 15,000
salary and hourly
4 UNITED TECHNOLOGIES
<PAGE>
employees and approximately 8 million square feet of facilities. The charges
were associated with severance and related costs, exit and lease termination
costs, plant shutdown related asset write-downs and site restoration and other
costs. The Corporation also incurred additional charges of $141 million
associated with the restructuring actions that were not accruable when the
actions were initiated.
In addition to restructuring, the Corporation undertook other actions
associated with product development and aircraft systems integration and
non-product purchasing. The total 1999 expenses that resulted from accrued
restructuring and related charges and charges associated with these other
actions were $1,120 million and were recorded across the Corporation's operating
segments as follows:

Otis $ 186
Carrier 196
Pratt & Whitney 534

Other 43
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$1,120
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net cash outflows in 1999 resulting from these actions were $366 million
pre-tax. In 2000, the Corporation expects to have additional pre-tax cash
outflows of approximately $750 million, to be paid out of normal operations,
including up to $300 million of additional costs associated with the 1999
actions that were not accruable when the actions were initiated. The 1999
restructuring and other actions are expected to result in savings that should
offset additional costs incurred, resulting in a modest benefit in 2000.
Recurring savings, associated primarily with net reduction in workforce and
facility closures, are expected to increase over a three-year period to
approximately $750 million pre-tax annually, and are expected to be reported
primarily as part of cost of sales.
For additional discussion of restructuring, see Footnote 11 of the Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements.

1999 Compared to 1998
OTIS revenues increased $82 million (1%) in 1999. Excluding the unfavorable
impact of foreign currency translation, 1999 revenues increased 3%, reflecting
increases in North American and European operations, partially offset by a
decrease in Asia Pacific operations.
Otis operating profits decreased $40 million (8%) in 1999. Excluding the
unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation, 1999 operating profits
decreased 6%, due primarily to 1999 restructuring and other charges of $186
million that were in excess of 1998 restructuring charges. Restructuring charges
in 1999 were associated with worldwide facility consolidations and workforce
reductions. Restructuring charges in 1998 were associated with workforce
reductions and the consolidation of manufacturing and engineering facilities.
The 1999 charges were partially offset by improved operating performance,
particularly in North American operations, which benefited from increased orders
and an increase in construction activity, and in Asia Pacific and European
operations. Operating profits suffered in Latin American operations, which
continued to face pressure from the devaluation of the Real in Brazil. Excluding
restructuring in 1999 and 1998, operating profits increased.
CARRIER revenues increased $431 million (6%) in 1999. Excluding the unfavorable
impact of foreign currency translation, 1999 revenues increased 8%. The 1999
increase reflects the positive impact of acquisitions, as well as increases in
the North American, European and Refrigeration operations, partially offset by
declines in Asia Pacific and Latin American operations.
Carrier operating profits decreased $36 million (7%) in 1999. Excluding
the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation, 1999 operating profits
decreased 1% due to 1999 restructuring and other charges of $196 million, which
surpassed those in 1998. The 1999 charges were partially offset by the impact of
acquisitions and increased operating performance in most segments, with
particularly strong performance in the North American, European and
Refrigeration operations. The 1999 and 1998 restructuring charges related to
worldwide facility closures and workforce reductions. Excluding restructuring in
1999 and 1998, operating profits increased.
PRATT & WHITNEY revenues decreased $202 million (3%) in 1999. The decrease
reflects fewer military and commercial engine shipments and lower commercial
spare parts volumes, partially offset by increases in the commercial overhaul
and repair business, military after-market and Pratt & Whitney Canada. The 1998
revenues included a favorable settlement of a contract dispute with the U.S.
Government and costs to repurchase interests from participants in commercial
engine programs.
Pratt & Whitney operating profits decreased $390 million (38%), primarily
reflecting 1999 restructuring and other charges of $534 million that exceeded
those in 1998. Lower military and commercial engine and commercial spare parts
UNITED TECHNOLOGIES 5
<PAGE>
volumes and the absence of a nonrecurring 1998 gain were partially offset by
higher overhaul and repair and military after-market volume, improved operating
profits at Pratt & Whitney Canada and the absence of 1998 costs to repurchase
interests from participants in commercial engine programs. The 1999
restructuring and other charges were associated with workforce reductions;
consolidation of military engine operations, manufacturing operations and the
component repair business; and costs associated with product development and
aircraft systems integration. The 1998 restructuring charges related to
workforce reductions in the U.S. and Canada.
FLIGHT SYSTEMS revenues increased $919 million (32%) in 1999, reflecting the
inclusion of Sundstrand's operations for the second half of 1999, partially
offset by the effects of fewer helicopter deliveries at Sikorsky.
Flight Systems operating profits decreased $40 million (14%) in 1999, due
primarily to 1999 restructuring and other charges at Sikorsky and Hamilton
Sundstrand of $161 million, which were in excess of charges recorded in 1998,
and fewer helicopter deliveries at Sikorsky. These items were partially offset
by the inclusion of Sundstrand results for the second half of 1999. The 1999
restructuring charges related to closing facilities, consolidating functions,
reducing workforce and rationalizing customer support.
1998 Compared to 1997
OTIS revenues increased $24 million in 1998. Excluding the unfavorable impact of
foreign currency translation, 1998 revenues increased 3%, with increases in
European, North American and Latin American operations, partially offset by
declines in Asia Pacific operations.
Otis operating profits increased $68 million (15%) in 1998. Excluding the
unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation, 1998 operating profits
increased 17%. European, North American and Latin American operations improved
in 1998, partially offset by declines in Asia Pacific operations and higher
charges related to workforce reductions and the consolidation of manufacturing
and engineering facilities.
CARRIER revenues increased $866 million (14%) in 1998. Excluding the unfavorable
impact of foreign currency translation, 1998 revenues increased 17%, due to the
impact of acquisitions, as well as increases in the Refrigeration, North
American, European and Latin American operations, partially offset by declines
in Asia Pacific operations.
Carrier operating profits increased $37 million (8%) in 1998. Excluding
the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation, 1998 operating profits
increased 11%. The 1998 increase reflects improvements in the Refrigeration,
North American, Latin American and European operations and the impact of
acquisitions which more than offset declines in Asia Pacific operations. The
1998 results include charges related to workforce reductions and plant closures.
PRATT & WHITNEY revenues increased $474 million (6%) in 1998, reflecting higher
after-market revenues, resulting primarily from acquisitions, as well as
increased commercial engine shipments and U.S. military development revenues.
The 1998 results also reflect the favorable settlement of a contract dispute
with the U.S. Government and costs to repurchase interests from participants in
commercial engine programs.
Pratt & Whitney operating profits increased $208 million (25%), reflecting
higher engine margins, increased U.S. military development volumes, higher
after-market volumes and productivity improvements. These items were partially
offset by costs to repurchase interests from participants in commercial engine
programs, charges related to workforce reduction efforts in the U.S. and Canada,
higher research and development spending and selling, general and administrative
expenses. The 1998 results also reflect the favorable settlement of a contract
dispute with the U.S. Government and favorable resolution of customer contract
issues.
FLIGHT SYSTEMS revenues increased $87 million (3%) in 1998 primarily due to
increased revenues at Hamilton Standard, which were favorably impacted by the
first quarter 1998 acquisition of a French aerospace components manufacturer,
partly offset by lower volumes at Sikorsky.
Flight Systems operating profits decreased $14 million (5%) in 1998 due to
lower volumes at Sikorsky and cost reduction charges taken at both units. The
1998 decline was partly offset by improvements at Hamilton Standard, mostly due
to the first quarter acquisition of a French aerospace components manufacturer.
Liquidity and Financing Commitments
Management assesses the Corporation's liquidity in terms of its overall ability
to generate cash to fund its operating and investing activities. Significant
factors affecting the management of liquidity are cash flows generated from
operating activities, capital expenditures, customer financing requirements,
acquisitions, Common Stock repurchases, adequate bank lines of credit and the
ability to attract long-term capital with satisfactory terms.

Net cash flows provided by operating activities in 1999 were impacted by a
$366 million cash outflow related to 1999 restructuring and other actions. Cash
flows used in investing activities were $4,411 million during 1999 compared to
$2,071 million during 1998, reflecting increased acquisition activity, primarily
for the acquisition of Sundstrand. Capital expenditures in 1999 were $762
million, an $89 million increase over 1998. The Corporation expects 2000 capital
spending to increase moderately.
Customer financing activity was a net use of cash of $188 million in 1999,
compared to a net use of cash of $213 million in 1998. While the Corporation
expects that customer financing activity will be a net use of cash in 2000,
actual funding is subject to usage under existing customer financing
commitments. At December 31, 1999, the Corporation had financing and rental
commitments of $1,228 million related to commercial aircraft, of which as much
as $359 million may be required to be disbursed in 2000. The Corporation may
also arrange for third-party investors to assume a portion of its commitments.

previously announced share repurchase programs. Share repurchase continues to be
a significant use of the Corporation's strong cash flows and has more than
offset the dilutive effect resulting from the issuance of stock under
stock-based employee benefit programs. In April 1999, the Corporation's Board of
Directors doubled the outstanding authorization for the repurchase of the
Corporation's Common Stock consistent with their approval in April 1999 of a
two-for-one stock split paid in the form of a stock dividend. At December 31,
1999, 24.9 million shares remained available for repurchase under this
authorization.

At December 31, 1999, the Corporation had credit commitments from banks
totaling $1.5 billion under a Revolving Credit Agreement, which serves as
back-up for a commercial paper facility. At December 31, 1999, there were no
borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement. In addition, at December 31,
1999, approximately $1.4 billion was available under short-term lines of credit
with local banks at the Corporation's various international subsidiaries.
As described in Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements,
the Corporation issued a total of $1,725 million of unsubordinated, unsecured,
nonconvertible notes in 1999. The proceeds were used to finance a portion of the
Sundstrand acquisition and for general corporate purposes, including other
acquisitions and repurchases of the Corporation's Common Stock. At December 31,
1999, up to $1 billion of additional medium-term and long-term debt could be
issued under a shelf registration statement on file with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
The Corporation's shareowners' equity is impacted by a variety of factors,
including those items that are not reported in earnings but are reported
directly in equity, such as foreign currency translation and minimum pension
liability adjustments and unrealized holding gains and losses on
available-for-sale securities. See the Statement of Changes in Shareowners'
Equity for information on such non-shareowners' changes.
The Corporation believes that existing sources of liquidity are adequate
to meet anticipated borrowing needs at comparable risk-based interest rates for
the foreseeable future. Management anticipates that, excluding those items that
are not reported in earnings but are reported directly in equity, the level of
debt to capital will increase moderately in order to satisfy its various cash
flow requirements, including acquisition spending and continued share
repurchases.
Foreign Currency and Interest Rate Risk Management
The Corporation is exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange and interest
rates primarily in its cash, debt and foreign currency transactions.
The Corporation uses derivative instruments, including swaps, forward
contracts and options, to manage certain foreign currency exposures. Derivative
instruments utilized by the Corporation in its hedging activities are viewed as
risk management tools, involve little complexity and are not used for trading
or speculative purposes. The Corporation diversifies the counterparties used and
monitors the concentration of risk to limit its counterparty exposure.
The Corporation has a large volume of foreign currency commitment and
transaction exposures, and significant foreign currency net asset exposures,
that result from its international sales, purchases, investments, borrowings and
other transactions. International segment revenues from continuing operations,
including U.S. export sales, averaged approximately $13 billion over the last
three years. Foreign currency commitment and transaction exposures are managed
at the operating unit level as an integral part of the business. Exposures that
cannot be naturally offset within the business to an insignificant amount are
hedged with foreign currency derivatives. Those hedges are initiated by the
operating units, with execution coordinated on a corporate-wide basis, and are
scheduled to mature coincident with the timing of the underlying foreign
currency commitments and transactions. Currently, the Corporation does not hold
any derivative contracts that hedge its foreign currency net asset exposures.
The Corporation's cash position includes amounts denominated in foreign
currencies. The Corporation manages its worldwide cash requirements considering
available funds among its many subsidiaries and the cost effectiveness with
which these funds can be accessed. The repatriation of cash balances from
certain of the Corporation's subsidiaries could have adverse tax consequences.
However, those balances are generally available without legal restrictions to
fund ordinary business operations. The Corporation has and will continue to
transfer cash from those subsidiaries to the parent and to other international
subsidiaries when it is cost effective to do so.
The Corporation's long-term debt portfolio consists mostly of fixed-rate
instruments in order to minimize earnings volatility related to interest
expense. The Corporation currently does not hold interest rate derivative
contracts.
The Corporation has evaluated its exposure to changes in foreign currency
exchange and interest rates in its market risk sensitive instruments, which are
primarily cash, debt and derivative instruments, using a value at risk analysis.
Based on a 95% confidence level and a one-day holding period, at December 31,
1999 and 1998, the potential loss in fair value of the Corporation's market risk
sensitive instruments was not material in relation to the Corporation's
financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The Corporation's
calculated value at risk exposure represents an estimate of reasonably possible
net losses based on historical market rates, volatilities and correlations and
is not necessarily indicative of actual results.
UNITED TECHNOLOGIES 7

Refer to Notes 1, 12 and 13 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements for additional discussion of foreign exchange and financial
instruments.
Environmental Matters
The Corporation's operations are subject to environmental regulation by federal,
state and local authorities in the United States and regulatory authorities with
jurisdiction over its foreign operations. As a result, the Corporation has
established, and continually updates, policies relating to environmental
standards of performance for its operations worldwide. The Corporation believes
that expenditures necessary to comply with the present regulations governing
environmental protection will not have a material effect upon its competitive
position, financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
The Corporation has identified approximately 430 locations, mostly in the
United States, at which it may have some liability for remediating
contamination. The Corporation does not believe that any individual location's
exposure will have a material effect on the results of operations of the
Corporation. Sites in the investigation or remediation stage represent
approximately 98% of the Corporation's recorded liability. The remaining 2% of
the recorded liability consists of sites where the Corporation may have some
liability but investigation is in the initial stages or has not begun.
The Corporation has been identified as a potentially responsible party
under the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act
("CERCLA" or Superfund) at approximately 97 sites. The number of Superfund
sites, in and of itself, does not represent a relevant measure of liability
because the nature and extent of environmental concerns vary from site to site
and the Corporation's share of responsibility varies from sole responsibility to
very little responsibility. In estimating its liability for remediation, the
Corporation considers its likely proportionate share of the anticipated
remediation expense and the ability of other potentially responsible parties to
fulfill their obligations.
At December 31, 1999, the Corporation had $436 million reserved for
environmental remediation. Cash outflows for environmental remediation were $36
million in 1999, $36 million in 1998 and $34 million in 1997. The Corporation
estimates that ongoing environmental remediation expenditures in each of the
next two years will not exceed $50 million.
Additional discussion of the Corporation's environmental matters is
included in Notes 1 and 14 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
U.S. Government
The Corporation's contracts with the U.S. Government are subject to audits. Like
many defense contractors, the Corporation has received audit reports which
recommend that certain contract prices should be reduced to comply with various
government regulations. Some of these audit reports involve substantial amounts.
The Corporation has made voluntary refunds in those cases it believes
appropriate.
New Accounting Pronouncement
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities," which, as amended, is currently effective January 1,
2001 for the Corporation. Management believes adoption of this standard will not
have a material impact on the Corporation's consolidated financial position,
results of operations or cash flows.
Year 2000
The Corporation's program to address the Year 2000 issue consisted of the
following phases: awareness, assessment, remediation, testing and contingency
planning. As of December 31, 1999, all phases were completed. The Corporation
did not experience any significant disruption as a result of the Year 2000
issue.
The Corporation's program was initiated and executed to prevent major
interruptions in the business due to Year 2000 problems using both internal and
external resources to identify and correct problems and to test for readiness.
The external costs of the project, including equipment costs and consultant and
software licensing fees, were approximately $100 million. Internal costs, which
were primarily payroll related, were approximately $40 million. These costs were
funded through operating cash flows with amounts that would normally have been
budgeted for the Corporation's information systems and production and facilities
equipment. Although the Corporation worked on its Year 2000 readiness efforts
for several years, costs incurred prior to 1997 were not separately tracked and
are generally not included in the estimate of total costs.
The Corporation completed its assessment of its Year 2000 risks related to
significant relationships with its critical third-party suppliers and customers.
Despite these efforts, the Corporation can provide no assurance that all
supplier and customer Year 2000 compliance plans were successfully completed in
a timely manner, although it is not currently aware of any problems which would
significantly impact its operations.
Euro Conversion
On January 1, 1999, the European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) entered a
three-year transition phase during which a common currency, the "euro," was
introduced in participating countries. The euro is currently used for wholesale
financial transactions and will replace the legacy currencies that will be
withdrawn between January 1, 2002 and July 1, 2002. The Corporation has been
preparing for the euro since December 1996 and has identified issues and
developed implementation plans associated with the conversion, including
technical adaptation of information technology and other systems, continuity of
long-term contracts, foreign currency considerations, long-term competitive
implications of the conversions and the effect on the market risk inherent in
financial instruments. These implementation plans are expected to be completed
within a timetable that is consistent with the transition phases of the euro.
Based on its evaluation to date, management believes that the introduction
of the euro, including the total costs for the conversion, will not have a
material adverse impact on the Corporation's financial position, results of
operations or cash flows. However, uncertainty exists as to the effects the euro
will have on the marketplace and there is no guarantee that all issues will be
foreseen and corrected or that third parties will address the conversion
successfully.

Cautionary Note Concerning Factors That May Affect Future Results
This Annual Report contains statements which, to the extent they are not
statements of historical or present fact, constitute "forward-looking
statements" under the securities laws. From time to time, oral or written
forward-looking statements may also be included in other materials released to
the public. These forward-looking statements are intended to provide
management's current expectations or plans for the future operating and
financial performance of the Corporation, based on assumptions currently
believed to be valid. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of
words such as "believe," "expect," "plans," "strategy," "prospects," "estimate,"
"project," "anticipate" and other words of similar meaning in connection with a
discussion of future operating or financial performance. These include, among
others, statements relating to:
o Future earnings and other measurements of financial performance
o Future cash flow and uses of cash
o The effect of economic downturns or growth in particular regions
o The effect of changes in the level of activity in particular
industries or markets
o The scope, nature or impact of acquisition activity
o Product developments and new business opportunities
o Restructuring costs and savings
o The outcome of contingencies
o The impact of Year 2000 issues
o The transition to the use of the euro as a currency.
All forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may
cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the
forward-looking statements. For additional information identifying factors that
may cause actual results to vary materially from those stated in the
forward-looking statements, see the Corporation's reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q
and 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time. The
Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for 1999 includes important information
as to risk factors in the "Business" section under the headings "Description of
Business by Operating Segment" and "Other Matters Relating to the Corporation's
Business as a Whole."

Management's
RESPONSIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The financial statements of United Technologies Corporation and its subsidiaries
are the responsibility of the Corporation's management and have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Management is responsible for the integrity and objectivity of the
financial statements, including estimates and judgments reflected in them and
fulfills this responsibility primarily by establishing and maintaining
accounting systems and practices adequately supported by internal accounting
controls. These controls are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the
Corporation's assets are safeguarded, that transactions are executed in
accordance with management's authorizations and that the financial records are
reliable for the purpose of preparing financial statements. Self-monitoring
mechanisms are also a part of the control environment whereby, as deficiencies
are identified, corrective actions are taken. Even an effective internal control
system, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations -- including the
possibility of the circumvention or overriding of controls -- and, therefore,
can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement
preparation and such safeguarding of assets. Further, because of changes in
conditions, internal control system effectiveness may vary over time.
The Corporation assessed its internal control system as of December 31,
1999. Based on this assessment, management believes the internal accounting
controls in use provide reasonable assurance that the Corporation's assets are
safeguarded, that transactions are executed in accordance with management's
authorizations, and that the financial records are reliable for the purpose of
preparing financial statements.
Independent accountants are appointed annually by the Corporation's
shareowners to audit the financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards. Their report appears below. Their audits, as well
as those of the Corporation's internal audit department, include a review of
internal accounting controls and selective tests of transactions.
The Audit Review Committee of the Board of Directors, consisting of
directors who are not officers or employees of the Corporation, meets regularly
with management, the independent accountants and the internal auditors, to
review matters relating to financial reporting, internal accounting controls and
auditing.

Report
OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Shareowners of United Technologies Corporation
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and the related
consolidated statements of operations, of changes in shareowners' equity and of
cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
United Technologies Corporation and its subsidiaries at December 31, 1999 and
1998, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1999, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Corporation'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 auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States, 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 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1 Summary of Accounting Principles
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities,
revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform
to the current year presentation.
CONSOLIDATION. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Corporation and its controlled subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions have been
eliminated.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS. Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand,
demand deposits and short-term cash investments which are highly liquid in
nature and have original maturities of three months or less.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE. Current and long-term accounts receivable include retainage
and unbilled costs of approximately $72 million and $103 million at December 31,
1999 and 1998. Retainage represents amounts which, pursuant to the contract, are
not due until project completion and acceptance by the customer. Unbilled costs
represent revenues that are not currently billable to the customer under the
terms of the contract. These items are expected to be collected in the normal
course of business. Long-term accounts receivable are included in Other assets
on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
MARKETABLE EQUITY SECURITIES. Equity securities that have a readily determinable
fair value are classified as available for sale and are carried at fair value.
Unrealized holding gains and losses are recorded as a separate component of
shareowners' equity, net of the deferred income tax effect.
INVENTORIES AND CONTRACTS IN PROGRESS. Inventories and contracts in progress are
stated at the lower of cost or estimated realizable value and are primarily
based on first-in, first-out ("FIFO") or average cost methods; however, certain
subsidiaries use the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") method. Costs accumulated
against specific contracts or orders are at actual cost. Materials in excess of
requirements for contracts and orders currently in effect or anticipated have
been reserved and written-off when appropriate.
Manufacturing tooling costs are charged to inventories or to fixed assets
depending upon their nature, general applicability and useful lives. Tooling
costs included in inventory are charged to cost of sales based on usage,
generally within two years after they enter productive use.
Manufacturing costs are allocated to current production and firm
contracts. General and administrative expenses are charged to expense as
incurred.
FIXED ASSETS. Fixed assets are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed over the
assets' useful lives generally using the straight-line method, except for
aerospace assets acquired prior to January 1, 1999, which are depreciated using
accelerated methods.
In 1999, the Company adopted AICPA Statement of Position 98-1, "Accounting
for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use,"
which requires capitalization of certain costs incurred in the development of
internal-use software. Adoption of that statement and the change to
straight-line depreciation for aerospace assets did not have a material impact
on the Corporation's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
GOODWILL AND OTHER LONG-LIVED ASSETS. Goodwill represents costs in excess of
fair values assigned to the underlying net assets of acquired companies and is
generally amortized using the straight-line method over periods ranging from 10
to 40 years.
The Corporation evaluates potential impairment of goodwill on an ongoing
basis and of other long-lived assets when appropriate. If the carrying amount of
an asset exceeds the sum of its undiscounted expected future cash flows, the
asset's carrying value is written down to fair value.
REVENUE RECOGNITION. Sales under government and commercial fixed-price contracts
and government fixed-price-incentive contracts are recorded at the time
deliveries are made or, in some cases, on a percentage-of-completion basis.
Sales under cost-reimbursement contracts are recorded as work is performed and
billed. Sales of commercial aircraft engines sometimes require participation by
the Corporation in aircraft financing arrangements; when appropriate, such sales
are accounted for as operating leases. Sales under elevator and escalator
installation and modernization contracts are accounted for under the
percentage-of-completion method.
Losses, if any, on contracts are provided for when anticipated. Loss
provisions are based upon excess inventoriable manufacturing, engineering,
estimated warranty and product guarantee costs over the net revenue from the
products contemplated by the specific order. Contract accounting requires
estimates of future costs over the performance period of the contract. These
estimates are subject to change and result in adjustments to margins on
contracts in progress.
Service sales, representing after-market repair and maintenance
activities, are recognized over the contractual period or as services are
performed.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Research and development costs, not specifically
covered by contracts and those related to the Corporation-sponsored share of
research and development activity in connection with cost-sharing arrangements,
are charged to expense as incurred.
HEDGING ACTIVITY. The Corporation uses derivative instruments, including swaps,
forward contracts and options, to manage certain foreign currency exposures.
Derivative instruments are viewed by the Corporation as risk management tools
and are not used for trading or speculative purposes. Derivatives used for
hedging purposes must be designated as, and effective as, a hedge of the
identified risk exposure at the inception of the contract. Accordingly, changes
in the market value of the derivative contract must be highly correlated with
changes in the market value of the underlying hedged item at inception of the
hedge and over the life of the hedge contract.
Gains and losses from instruments that are effective hedges of firm
commitments are deferred and recognized as part of the economic basis of the
transactions underlying the commitments when the associated
UNITED TECHNOLOGIES 15
<PAGE>
hedged transaction occurs. Gains and losses from instruments that are effective
hedges of foreign-currency-denominated transactions are reported in earnings and
offset the effects of foreign exchange transaction gains and losses from the
associated hedged transactions. Gains and losses on the excess of foreign
currency derivative amounts over the related hedged commitment or transaction
would be recognized in earnings. Cash flows from derivative instruments
designated as hedges are classified consistent with the items being hedged.
Gains and losses on derivative instruments designated but no longer
effective as a hedge would be recognized in earnings.
Gains and losses on terminations of foreign exchange contracts are
deferred and amortized over the remaining period of the original contract to the
extent the underlying hedged commitment or transaction is still likely to occur.
Gains and losses on terminations of foreign exchange contracts are recognized in
earnings when terminated in conjunction with the cancelation of the related
commitment or transaction.
Carrying amounts of foreign exchange contracts are included in accounts
receivable, other assets and accrued liabilities.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities," in June 1998 which, as amended, is currently effective January 1,
2001 for the Corporation. Management believes adoption of this standard will not
have a material impact on the Corporation's consolidated financial position,
results of operations or cash flows.
ENVIRONMENTAL. Environmental investigatory, remediation, operating and
maintenance costs are accrued when it is probable that a liability has been
incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The most likely cost to be
incurred is accrued based on an evaluation of currently available facts with
respect to each individual site, including existing technology, current laws and
regulations and prior remediation experience. Where no amount within a range of
estimates is more likely, the minimum is accrued. For sites with multiple
responsible parties, the Corporation considers its likely proportionate share of
the anticipated remediation costs and the ability of the other parties to
fulfill their obligations in establishing a provision for those costs.
Liabilities with fixed or reliably determinable future cash payments are
discounted. Environmental liabilities are not reduced by potential insurance
reimbursements.
STOCK SPLIT. In April 1999, the Corporation announced a two-for-one stock split
which was paid in May 1999 in the form of a stock dividend to shareowners of
record at the close of business on May 7, 1999. All common share and per share
information in the Consolidated Financial Statements reflect the stock split.
2 Acquisitions and Dispositions of Businesses
ACQUISITIONS. In June 1999, the Corporation completed the acquisition of
Sundstrand Corporation, a global producer of aerospace and industrial products
for diversified markets, for approximately $4.3 billion, including debt assumed.
Under the terms of the merger agreement, each outstanding share of Sundstrand
Common Stock was exchanged for $35 in cash and .5580 shares of the Corporation's
Common Stock. The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase.
In connection with the acquisition of Sundstrand, the Corporation is
undertaking actions to combine the operations of Sundstrand and Hamilton
Standard, including consolidating headquarters, closing facilities, relocating
salary and hourly employees and reducing salary and hourly workforce. Costs
accrued to date amounted to $25 million, relating to those actions that directly
impact Sundstrand facilities and employees, and are being accounted for as an
adjustment to the purchase price.
The Corporation's unaudited consolidated results of operations on a pro
forma basis for the Sundstrand transaction, assuming it had occurred at the
beginning of 1999 and 1998, are as follows:

The unaudited pro forma financial information is presented for
informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the operating
results that would have occurred had the Sundstrand acquisition been consummated
as of the above dates, nor is it necessarily indicative of future operating
results.
In addition to acquiring Sundstrand, the Corporation completed
acquisitions in 1999, 1998 and 1997 for $1,989 million, $1,237 million and $602
million, including debt assumed. Those amounts included cash consideration of
$1,662 million, $1,228 million and $547 million.
The assets and liabilities of the acquired businesses accounted for under
the purchase method are recorded at their fair values at the dates of
acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of
the net assets acquired, of $4,396 million in 1999, $855 million in 1998 and
$353 million in 1997, has been recorded as goodwill and is being amortized over
estimated useful lives that range from 10 to 40 years.
The results of operations of acquired businesses have been included in the
Consolidated Statement of Operations beginning on the effective date of
acquisition.
The cost of 1999 acquisitions and allocations of cost may require
adjustment based upon information that may come to the attention of the
Corporation which is not currently available. Adjustments are not expected to be
material and were not material for 1998 and 1997 acquisitions.
The pro forma results for acquisitions other than Sundstrand, for 1999,
1998 and 1997, assuming these acquisitions had been made at the beginning of the
year, would not be materially different from reported results.
DISPOSITIONS. In May 1999, the Corporation sold its UT Automotive unit to Lear
Corporation for $2.3 billion, which resulted in a source of cash of $2.2 billion
and an after-tax gain of $650 million. UT Automotive net assets appear in the
Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 1998 as a net investment in a
discontinued operation. Related results, through the date of disposition, appear
as income from operations of the discontinued UT Automotive unit in the
Consolidated Statement of Operations for 1999, 1998 and 1997. UT Automotive
revenues prior to the disposition were $1,115 million, $2,962 million and $2,987
million in 1999, 1998 and 1997.

4 Commercial Airline Industry Assets and Commitments
The Corporation has receivables and other financing assets with commercial
airline industry customers totaling $1,562 million and $1,361 million at
December 31, 1999 and 1998, net of allowances of $279 million and $237 million.
Customer financing assets consist of products under lease of $265 million
and notes and leases receivable of $425 million. The notes and leases receivable
are scheduled to mature as follows: $137 million in 2000, $91 million in 2001,
$17 million in 2002, $29 million in 2003, $25 million in 2004 and $126 million
thereafter.
Financing commitments, in the form of secured debt, guarantees or lease
financing, are provided to commercial aircraft engine customers. The extent to
which the financing commitments will be utilized cannot currently be predicted,
since customers may be able to obtain more favorable terms from other financing
sources. The Corporation may also arrange for third-party investors to assume a
portion of its commitments. If financing commitments are exercised, debt
financing is generally secured by assets with fair market values equal to or
exceeding the financed amounts with interest rates established at the time of
funding. The Corporation also may lease aircraft and subsequently sublease the
aircraft to customers under long-term noncancelable operating leases. In some
instances, customers may have minimum lease terms which result in sublease
periods shorter than the Corporation's lease obligation. Lastly, the Corporation
has residual value and other guarantees related to various commercial aircraft
engine customer financing arrangements. The estimated fair market values of the
guaranteed assets equal or exceed the value of the related guarantees, net of
existing reserves.
The Corporation's financing and rental commitments as of December 31, 1999
were $808 million and are excercisable as follows: $298 million in 2000, $50
million in 2001, $56 million in 2002, $19 million in 2003, $107 million in 2004
and $278 million thereafter.
In addition, the Corporation had net residual value and other guarantees
of $117 million as of December 31, 1999.
The Corporation has a 33% interest in International Aero Engines ("IAE"),
an international consortium of four shareholders organized to support the V2500
commercial aircraft engine program. IAE may offer customer financing in the form
of guarantees, secured debt or lease financing in connection with V2500 engine
sales. At December 31, 1999, IAE had financing commitments of $1,278 million.
The Corporation's share of IAE's financing commitments was approximately $420
million at December 31, 1999. In addition, IAE had lease obligations under
long-term noncancelable leases of approximately $360 million through 2021
related to aircraft which are subleased to customers under long-term leases.
These aircraft have fair market values which approximate the financed amounts.
The shareholders of IAE have guaranteed IAE's financing arrangements to the
extent of their respective ownership interests. In the event any shareholder was
to default on certain of these financing arrangements, the other shareholders
would be proportionately responsible.

===============================================================================
Contracts in progress principally relate to elevator and escalator contracts and
include costs of manufactured components, accumulated installation costs and
estimated earnings on incomplete contracts.
The Corporation's sales contracts in many cases are long-term contracts
expected to be performed over periods exceeding twelve months. Approximately 51%
and 58% of total inventories and contracts in progress have been acquired or
manufactured under such long-term contracts at December 31, 1999 and 1998. It is
impracticable for the Corporation to determine the amounts of inventory
scheduled for delivery under long-term contracts within the next twelve months.
If inventories which were valued using the LIFO method had been valued
under the FIFO method, they would have been higher by $111 million and $110
million at December 31, 1999 and 1998.

unsubordinated, unsecured, nonconvertible notes under shelf registration
statements previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The
weighted-average interest rate on those notes is 6.9%. Proceeds from the debt
issuances were used for general corporate purposes, including financing a
portion of the Sundstrand acquisition, funding other acquisitions and
repurchasing the Corporation's Common Stock.
In 1998, the Corporation issued $400 million of 6.7% unsubordinated,
unsecured, nonconvertible notes.
At December 31, 1999, up to $1 billion of additional medium-term and

Future income taxes represent the tax effects of transactions which are
reported in different periods for tax and financial reporting purposes. These
amounts consist of the tax effects of temporary differences between the tax and
financial reporting balance sheets and tax carryforwards. The tax effects of
temporary differences and tax carryforwards which gave rise to future income tax
benefits and payables at December 31, 1999 and 1998 are as follows:
IN MILLIONS OF DOLLARS 1999 1998

Current and non-current future income tax benefits and payables within the
same tax jurisdiction are generally offset for presentation in the Consolidated
Balance Sheet. Valuation allowances have been established primarily for tax
credit and tax loss carryforwards to reduce the future income tax benefits to
amounts expected to be realized.
The sources of income from continuing operations before income taxes and
minority interests are:

================================================================================
United States income taxes have not been provided on undistributed
earnings of international subsidiaries. The Corporation's intention is to
reinvest these earnings permanently or to repatriate the earnings only when it
is tax effective to do so. Accordingly, the Corporation believes that any U.S.
tax on repatriated earnings would be substantially offset by U.S. foreign tax
credits.
Differences between effective income tax rates and the statutory U.S.
federal income tax rates are as follows:
1999 1998 1997
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Statutory U.S. federal
income tax rate 35.0% 35.0% 35.0%
Varying tax rates of consolidated

Sales Corporation) (7.8) (4.8) (4.5)
Goodwill 2.5 0.4 0.2
Other (3.8) 0.8 2.0
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Effective income tax rate 25.9% 31.4% 32.7%
==============================================================================
The 1999 effective tax rate includes the impact of the Corporation's 1999
restructuring actions. Excluding restructuring, the 1999 effective tax rate was
30.9%.
Tax credit carryforwards at December 31, 1999 were $155 million of which
$1 million expires annually in each of the next two years, and $4 million
expires in 2003.
Tax loss carryforwards, principally state and foreign, at December 31,
1999 were $661 million of which $471 million expire as follows: $237 million
from 2000-2004, $130 million from 2005-2009, $104 million from 2010-2019.
10 Employee Benefit Plans
The Corporation and its subsidiaries sponsor numerous domestic and foreign
employee benefit plans. Those plans are discussed below.
EMPLOYEE SAVINGS PLANS. The Corporation and certain subsidiaries sponsor various
employee savings plans. Total contribution expenses were $87 million, $81
million and $76 million for 1999, 1998 and 1997.
The Corporation's nonunion domestic employee savings plan uses an Employee
Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") for employer contributions. External borrowings,
guaranteed by the Corporation and reported as debt on the Consolidated Balance
Sheet, were used by the ESOP to fund a portion of its purchase of ESOP Stock
from the Corporation. Each share of ESOP Stock is convertible into four shares
of Common Stock, has a guaranteed value of $65, a $4.80 annual dividend and is
redeemable at any time for $65 per share. Upon notice of redemption by the
Corporation, the Trustee has the right to convert the ESOP Stock into Common
Stock. Because of its guaranteed value, the ESOP Stock is classified outside of
permanent equity.
Shares of ESOP Stock are committed to employees at fair value on the date
earned. The ESOP Stock's cash dividends are used for debt service payments.
Participants receive shares in lieu of the cash dividends. As debt service
payments are made, ESOP Stock is released from an unreleased shares account. If
share releases do not meet share commitments, the Corporation will contribute
additional ESOP Stock, Common Stock or cash. At December 31, 1999, 6.8 million
shares had been committed to employees, leaving 5.5 million shares in the ESOP
Trust, with an approximate fair value of $1,417 million based on equivalent
common shares.
Upon withdrawal, shares of the ESOP Stock must be converted into the
Corporation's Common Stock or, if the value of the Common Stock
UNITED TECHNOLOGIES 19
<PAGE>
is less than the guaranteed value of the ESOP Stock, the Corporation must
repurchase the shares at their guaranteed value.
PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT PLANS. The Corporation and its subsidiaries
sponsor many domestic and foreign defined benefit pension and other
postretirement plans whose balances are as follows:

For measurement purposes, an 8.5% annual rate of increase in the per

assumed to decrease to 7.5% for 2001 and remain at that level thereafter.

The projected benefit obligation, accumulated benefit obligation and fair
value of plan assets for the pension plans with accumulated benefit obligations
in excess of plan assets were $699 million, $556 million and $173 million, as of
December 31, 1999 and $2,826 million, $2,688 million and $2,194 million, as of
December 31, 1998.
Assumed health care cost trend rates have a significant effect on the
amounts reported for the health care plan. A one-percentage-point change in
assumed health care cost trend rates would change the accumulated postretirement
benefit obligation as of December 31, 1999 by approximately 2%. The effects of
this change on the service expense and the interest expense components of the
net postretirement benefit expense for 1999 would be 6%.

LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLANS. The Corporation has long-term incentive plans
authorizing various types of market and performance based incentive awards,
which may be granted to officers and employees. The 1989 Long-Term Incentive
Plan provides for the annual grant of awards in an amount not to exceed 2% of
the aggregate shares of Common Stock, treasury shares and potentially dilutive
common shares for the preceding year. The 1995 Special Retention and Stock
Appreciation Program Plan permits up to 4 million award units to be granted in
any calendar year. In addition, up to 2 million options on Common Stock may be
granted annually under the Corporation's Employee Stock Option Plan. The
exercise price of stock options, set at the time of the grant, is not less than
the fair market value per share at the date of grant. Options have a term of ten
years and generally vest after three years.
In February 1997, the Corporation granted a key group of senior executives
1,700,000 stock options under the 1989 Plan. The grant price of $37.938
represents the market value per share at the date of grant. The options became
exercisable when the closing stock price of the Corporation's Common Stock
averaged $62.50 or higher for thirty consecutive trading days.
A summary of the transactions under all plans for the three years ended
December 31, 1999 follows:

with business combinations. The 1999 grant amount includes the issuance of 2.6
million options associated with the purchase of Sundstrand in exchange for
vested Sundstrand options.
The Corporation applies APB Opinion 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees," and related interpretations in accounting for its long-term
incentive plans. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for its
fixed stock options. The compensation cost that has been recorded for
stock-based performance awards was $26 million, $31 million and $22 million for
1999, 1998 and 1997.

Had compensation cost for the Corporation's stock-based compensation plans
been determined based on the fair value at the grant date for awards under those
plans consistent with the requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," the Corporation's
net income and earnings per share would have been reduced to the following pro

11 Restructuring
1999 ACTIONS. During 1999, the Corporation's operating segments initiated a
variety of actions aimed at further strengthening their future profitability and
competitive position. Those actions focused principally on rationalizing
manufacturing processes and improving the overall level of organizational
efficiency, including the removal of management layers. Restructuring charges
accrued in 1999 were $842 million before income taxes and minority interests and
will result in net reductions of approximately 15,000 salary and hourly
employees and approximately 8 million square feet of facilities. Significant
1999 actions by operating segment included:
o Otis: Worldwide facility consolidations and workforce reductions
o Carrier: Worldwide facility closures and workforce reductions
UNITED TECHNOLOGIES 21
<PAGE>
o Pratt & Whitney: Workforce reductions; consolidation of military
engine operations, manufacturing operations and the component repair
business
o Flight Systems: Facility closures and consolidation of functions in
Connecticut; workforce reductions; rationalization of customer
support.
The 1999 accrued costs were recorded across each of the Corporation's
operating segments as follows:

====================================================================================================
</TABLE>
The 1999 accrued costs were recorded in cost of sales (87%) and selling,
general and administrative expenses (13%) and relate to:
o Workforce reductions of approximately 15,000 employees, primarily at
Pratt & Whitney (5,200 employees), Otis (4,000 employees) and
Carrier (3,200 employees)
o Plant closings that will result in the reduction of approximately 8
million square feet of facilities, primarily at Pratt & Whitney (3
million square feet) and Carrier (2.9 million square feet) and
charges associated with the write-down of property, plant and
equipment to fair value, where fair value is based on appraised
value, primarily at Pratt & Whitney ($70 million) and Carrier ($41
million).
As of December 31, 1999, approximately 5,800 employees were terminated and
approximately 230,000 square feet were eliminated. The remaining terminations
and plant closings are planned to be substantially completed within the next
twelve months.
In 1999, the Corporation incurred additional charges of $141 million
associated with the restructuring actions that were not accruable when the
actions were initiated.
1998 AND 1997 ACTIONS. During 1998, the Corporation accrued pre-tax charges
totaling $320 million related to ongoing efforts to reduce the costs of its
continuing operations in response to an increasingly competitive business
environment. Charges were recorded in each of the Corporation's operating
segments with the majority relating to the Pratt & Whitney, Otis and Carrier
operations. The amounts were primarily recorded in cost of sales and related to
workforce reductions of approximately 7,500 employees, plant closings and
charges associated with asset impairments. Substantially all 7,500 employees
were terminated as of December 31, 1999.
The following table summarizes the costs associated with these actions:

December 31, 1999 $ 27 $ 1 $ -- $ 28
===============================================================================
The adjustments to the 1998 restructuring liability result from
finalization of actions for amounts lower than originally estimated. These
adjustments were partially offset by additional restructuring charges associated
with the 1998 actions that were not originally accruable.
In 1997, the Corporation recorded charges which were similar in nature to
those noted above. However, the amounts were not material and the related
actions have been completed.
12 Foreign Exchange
The Corporation conducts business in many different currencies and, accordingly,
is subject to the inherent risks associated with foreign exchange rate
movements. The financial position and results of operations of substantially all
of the Corporation's foreign subsidiaries are measured using the local currency
as the functional currency. The aggregate effects of translating the balance
sheets of these subsidiaries are deferred as a separate component of
shareowners' equity. The Corporation had foreign currency net assets in more
than forty currencies, aggregating $2.1 billion and $1.4 billion at December 31,
1999 and 1998. The Corporation's net assets in the Asia Pacific region were $1.0
billion and $489 million at December 31, 1999 and 1998.
Foreign currency commitment and transaction exposures are managed at the
operating unit level as an integral part of the business. Residual exposures
that cannot be offset to an insignificant amount are hedged. These hedges are
initiated by the operating units, with execution coordinated on a corporate-wide
basis, and are scheduled to mature coincident with the timing of the underlying
foreign currency commitments and transactions. Hedged items include
foreign-currency-denominated receivables and payables on the balance sheet, and
commitments for purchases and sales.
At December 31, the Corporation had the following amounts related to
foreign exchange contracts hedging foreign currency transactions and firm
commitments:

Losses deferred (26) (83)

$ (11) $ (77)
==============================================================================
The deferred gains and losses are expected to be recognized in earnings
over the next three years along with the offsetting gains and losses on the
underlying commitments.
13 Financial Instruments
The Corporation operates internationally and, in the normal course of business,
is exposed to fluctuations in interest rates and currency values. These
fluctuations can increase the costs of financing, investing and operating the
business. The Corporation manages its transaction risks to acceptable limits
through the use of derivatives to create offsetting positions in foreign
currency markets. The Corporation views derivative financial instruments as risk
management tools and is not party to any leveraged derivatives.
The notional amounts of derivative contracts do not represent the amounts
exchanged by the parties, and thus are not a measure of the exposure of the
Corporation through its use of derivatives. The amounts exchanged by the parties
are normally based on the notional amounts and other terms of the derivatives,
which relate to exchange rates. The value of derivatives is derived from those
underlying parameters and changes in the relevant rates.
By nature, all financial instruments involve market and credit risk. The
Corporation enters into derivative financial instruments with major investment
grade financial institutions. The Corporation has policies to monitor its credit
risks of counterparties to derivative financial instruments. Pursuant to these
policies, the Corporation periodically determines the fair value of its
derivative instruments in order to identify its credit exposure. The Corporation
diversifies the counterparties used as a means to limit counterparty exposure
and concentration of risk. Credit risk is assessed prior to entering into
transactions and periodically thereafter. The Corporation does not anticipate
nonperformance by any of these counterparties.
The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the
instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties,
other than in a forced or liquidation sale. Significant differences can arise
between the fair value and carrying amount of financial instruments at historic
cost.
The carrying amounts and fair values of financial instruments are as
follows:
DECEMBER 31, 1999 DECEMBER 31, 1998
Carrying Fair Carrying Fair
IN MILLIONS OF DOLLARS Amount Value Amount Value
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Financial assets:
Marketable equity securities $ 355 $ 355 $ -- $ --
Long-term receivables 54 53 54 53
Customer financing notes 270 267 311 304
Financial liabilities:
Short-term borrowings 902 902 504 504
Long-term debt 3,196 3,163 1,423 1,674
Foreign exchange contracts:
In a receivable position 38 45 16 21
In a payable position 38 32 105 96
================================================================================
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value
of financial instruments:
CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS AND SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS. The carrying amount
approximates fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.
MARKETABLE EQUITY SECURITIES. The carrying value and fair value at December 31,
1999 represent the Corporation's investment in common stock that is classified
as available for sale and is accounted for at fair value, where fair value is
based on the quoted market price. In addition to the above, the Corporation
holds shares of unregistered common stock that are considered restricted stock
and are, therefore, not classified as available for sale. Those shares are
reported as a long-term asset at their cost of $11 million and have an estimated
fair value based on the quoted market price of approximately $355 million at
December 31, 1999.
LONG-TERM RECEIVABLES AND CUSTOMER FINANCING NOTES. The fair values are based on
quoted market prices for those or similar instruments. When quoted market prices
are not available, an approximation of fair value is based upon projected cash
flows discounted at an estimated current market rate of interest.
DEBT. The fair values are estimated based on the quoted market prices for the
same or similar issues or on the current rates offered to the Corporation for
debt of the same remaining maturities.
FOREIGN EXCHANGE CONTRACTS. The fair values are estimated based on the amount
that the Corporation would receive or pay to terminate the agreements at the
reporting date.
FINANCING COMMITMENTS. The Corporation had outstanding financing and rental
commitments totaling $1,228 million at December 31, 1999. Risks associated with
changes in interest rates are negated by the fact that interest rates are
variable during the commitment term and are set at the date of funding based on
current market conditions, the fair value of the underlying collateral and the
credit worthiness of the customers. As a result, the fair value of these
financings is expected to equal the amounts funded. The fair value of the
commitment itself is not readily determinable and is not considered significant.
Additional information pertaining to these commitments is included in Note 4.
14 Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
LEASES. The Corporation occupies space and uses certain equipment under lease
arrangements. Rental commitments at December 31, 1999 under long-term
noncancelable operating leases are as follows:

================================================================================
Rent expense was $234 million in 1999, $230 million in 1998 and $240 million
in 1997.
UNITED TECHNOLOGIES 23
<PAGE>
ENVIRONMENTAL. The Corporation's operations are subject to environmental
regulation by federal, state and local authorities in the United States and
regulatory authorities with jurisdiction over its foreign operations. As
described in Note 1, the Corporation has accrued for the costs of environmental
remediation activities and periodically reassesses these amounts. Management
believes that losses materially in excess of amounts accrued are not reasonably
possible.
The Corporation has had insurance in force over its history with a number
of insurance companies and has commenced litigation seeking indemnity and
defense under these insurance policies in relation to its environmental
liabilities. The litigation is expected to last several years. Environmental
liabilities are not reduced by potential insurance reimbursements.
U.S. GOVERNMENT. The Corporation is now, and believes that, in light of the
current government contracting environment, it will be the subject of one or
more government investigations. If the Corporation or one of its business units
were charged with wrongdoing as a result of any of these investigations, the
Corporation or one of its business units could be suspended from bidding on or
receiving awards of new government contracts pending the completion of legal
proceedings. If convicted or found liable, the Corporation could be fined and
debarred from new government contracting for a period generally not to exceed
three years. Any contracts found to be tainted by fraud could be voided by the
Government.
The Corporation's contracts with the U.S. Government are also subject to
audits. Like many defense contractors, the Corporation has received audit
reports which recommend that certain contract prices should be reduced to comply
with various government regulations. Some of these audit reports involve
substantial amounts. The Corporation has made voluntary refunds in those cases
it believes appropriate.
OTHER. The Corporation extends performance and operating cost guarantees beyond
its normal warranty and service policies for extended periods on some of its
products, particularly commercial aircraft engines. Liability under such
guarantees is contingent upon future product performance and durability. The
Corporation has accrued its estimated liability that may result under these
guarantees.
The Corporation also has other commitments and contingent liabilities
related to legal proceedings and matters arising out of the normal course of
business.
The Corporation has accrued for environmental investigatory, remediation,
operating and maintenance costs, performance guarantees and other litigation and
claims based on management's estimate of the probable outcome of these matters.
While it is possible that the outcome of these matters may differ from the
recorded liability, management believes that resolution of these matters will
not have a material impact on the Corporation's financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
15 Segment Financial Data
The Corporation and its subsidiaries design, develop, manufacture, sell and
provide service on products, classified in four principal operating segments.
The Corporation's operating segments were generally determined on the management
of the businesses and on the basis of separate operating companies, each with
general operating autonomy over diversified products and services.
Otis products include elevators and escalators, service, maintenance and
spare parts sold to a diversified international customer base in commercial real
estate development.
Carrier products include heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems
and equipment, transport and commercial refrigeration equipment and service for
a diversified international customer base principally in commercial and
residential real estate development.
Pratt & Whitney products include aircraft engines and spare parts sold to
a diversified customer base, including international and domestic commercial
airlines and aircraft leasing companies, aircraft manufacturers, regional and
commuter airlines, and U.S. and non-U.S. governments. Pratt & Whitney also
provides product support and a full range of overhaul, repair and fleet
management services and produces land-based power generation equipment which is
used for electrical power generation and other applications.
The Flight Systems segment includes Hamilton Sundstrand and Sikorsky
Aircraft. Hamilton Sundstrand products include environmental, flight and fuel
control systems and propellers sold primarily to U.S. and non-U.S. governments,
aerospace and defense contractors, and airframe and jet engine manufacturers and
power generation, distribution and management systems. Sikorsky Aircraft
products include helicopters and spare parts sold primarily to U.S. and non-U.S.
governments.
Operating segment and geographic data include the results of all
majority-owned subsidiaries, consistent with the management reporting of these
businesses. For certain of these subsidiaries, minority shareholders have rights
which, under the provisions of EITF 96-16, overcome the presumption of control.
In the Corporation's consolidated results, these subsidiaries are accounted for
using the equity method of accounting. Adjustments to reconcile segment
reporting to consolidated results are included in "Eliminations and other,"
which also includes certain small subsidiaries.
