     Interest paid amounted to $10.9 and $9.8 for the first quarters of 1994 and
     1993, respectively.

(3)  Income tax provisions for interim periods are based on estimated effective
     annual income tax rates. Income tax expense varies from the normal U.S.
     statutory tax rate primarily because of state taxes and variations in the
     tax rates on foreign source income. While a portion of the annual tax
     provisions will be deferred income taxes, it is not practicable to
     determine the amount or composition of deferred income taxes for interim
     periods. Income taxes paid, net of refunds received, amounted to $3.8 and
     $19.0 for the first quarters of 1994 and 1993 respectively.

(6)  Litton Litigation.

     On March 13, 1990, Litton Systems Inc. filed suit against Honeywell in U.S.
     District Court, Central District of California, alleging Honeywell patent
     infringement relating to the process used by Honeywell to coat mirrors
     incorporated in its ring laser gyroscopes; attempted monopolization by
     Honeywell of certain alleged markets for products containing ring laser
     gyroscopes; and intentional interference by Honeywell with Litton's
     prospective advantage in European markets and with its contractual
     relationships with Ojai Research, Inc., a California corporation. Honeywell
     has filed counterclaims against Litton alleging, among other things,
     violations by Litton of various antitrust laws including attempted
     monopolization of markets for inertial systems and interference with
     Honeywell's relationships with suppliers.

     The trial of the patent infringement and intentional interference claims
     commenced June 4, 1993, and on August 31, 1993, a federal court jury in
     U.S. District Court in Los Angeles returned a verdict against


<PAGE>

                                                                          Page 6

     Honeywell on each of these claims and awarded damages in the amount of
     $1,200.0 and concluded that the patent infringement was willful. Honeywell
     believes the verdict is unsupported by the facts; that the Litton patent is
     invalid; and that Honeywell's process differs from Litton's. The judge in
     the case held a hearing November 22, 1993, on various issues including,
     among others, Honeywell's claims that the patent was improperly obtained
     due to alleged "inequitable conduct" on the part of Litton and Honeywell's
     other legal and equitable defenses. The court has not yet entered a
     judgment. The trial will conclude when the court has resolved legal issues
     that could alter or eliminate the jury verdict. Honeywell will evaluate the
     outcome of the trial, including appealing any significant judgment against
     the company. No trial date has been set for the antitrust claims of Litton
     and Honeywell.

     The court has yet to rule on significant, complex and interrelated issues
     that could alter or eliminate the jury verdict; therefore, Honeywell and
     its counsel have determined that it is not possible to estimate the amount
     of damages, if any, that ultimately may be incurred. As a result, no
     provision has been made in the financial statements with respect to this
     contingent liability.

(7)  As of April 3, 1994, Honeywell had reserved 19,403,657 shares of common
     stock for the issuance of shares in connection with employee stock option
     and stock bonus plans.

(8)  The figures set forth in this quarterly report are unaudited but, in the
     opinion of the registrant, include all adjustments necessary for a fair
     presentation of the results of operations for the three-month periods ended
     April 3, 1994, and April 4, 1993, respectfully. Honeywell's accounting
     policies are described in the notes to financial statements in its 1993
     Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
          Results of Operations

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net income in the first quarter of 1994 was $47.7 million ($0.36 per share)
compared with $57.3 million ($0.42 per share) in the first quarter of 1993.

Worldwide sales were $1.348 billion in the first quarter of 1994, compared with
$1.439 billion in 1993. Home and Building Control sales increased 6 percent,
benefiting from an improving U.S. economy and growing consumer confidence. Home
Control gained market share as a result of continued acceptance of new products.
Home Control also benefited from inventory restocking as distributors responded
to improved demand, primarily in the United States. Building Control experienced
solid growth with its comprehensive energy retrofit and service solutions.
Excluding year-earlier results for the Keyboard business, which was sold in July
1993, Industrial Control sales were flat for the quarter. Industrial Automation
and Control continued to make inroads in key markets, such as hydrocarbon
processing and pulp and paper, with additional sales of TotalPlant-R- open
solutions. Control Components benefited in the first quarter from an improved
durable goods market in the United States. The business introduced SDS-TM-
Smart Distributed System, a revolutionary sensor network for distributed
machine control. As expected, Space and Aviation Control sales, which declined
21 percent, reflect lower aircraft production rates and reduced government
spending. Other sales, which include various operations that do not correspond
with Honeywell's primary business segments, such as the Solid State Electronics
Center and the Honeywell Technology Center, declined in the first quarter of
1994.

Worldwide operating profit was $109.1 million in the first quarter of 1994,
compared with $123.8 million in the first quarter of 1993. Home and Building
Control operating profit increased 10 percent benefiting from increasing volume
in an improving U.S. economy, growing consumer confidence and favorable
developments in certain employee-related liabilities. Industrial Control
operating profit declined 10 percent, primarily as a result of increased R&D
expenditures. Lower aircraft production rates and reduced government spending
resulted in a 36 percent decline in operating profit for Space and Aviation
Control. Other operations had a small operating loss compared with a small
operating profit in 1993.

                                                                          Page 7

Total worldwide orders increased 20 percent, compared with the first quarter of
1993. Home and Building Control orders increased 10 percent from year-earlier
levels, with order activity in the targeted segments of schools and health-care
and industrial facilities up more than 20 percent. On a comparable basis,
Industrial Control orders were up 11 percent from year- earlier levels. Orders
in Space and Aviation Control were up more than 20 percent in the quarter as
Space Systems was awarded a significant contract to supply command and
data-handling systems for the International Space Station Alpha, and as Military
Avionics reported strong retrofit orders.


FINANCIAL CONDITION

Cash flow generated from operations net of investment activities for the first
quarter of 1994 was $13.4 million.

Debt as a percentage of total capital at the end of the first quarter was 30.3
percent compared with 28.1 percent at the end of 1993. Long-term debt declined
$1 million and short-term debt increased $64 million from 1993 year-end to
finance general corporate requirements, including working capital.

Common shares outstanding decreased by 1,478,527 from the end of 1993 to 130.1
million. Shares repurchased during the first quarter of 1994 totaled 1,833,000
at a cost of $61.2 million. Shares issued through employee stock plans totaled
354,473. Stockholders' equity decreased to $1,740 million from $1,773 million at
the end of 1993. The decrease in stockholders' equity includes a $16 million
addition to retained earnings resulting from current year earnings less
dividends offset by $46 million in net treasury stock transactions and a $3
million reduction due to changes in the accumulated foreign currency translation
balance.

On August 31, 1993, a federal court jury in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles
returned a verdict against Honeywell on patent infringement and intentional
interference claims in the amount of $1.2 billion. These claims were part of a
lawsuit brought by Litton Systems Inc. alleging, among other things, Honeywell
patent infringement relating to the process used by Honeywell to coat mirrors
incorporated in its ring laser gyroscopes. Honeywell believes the verdict is
unsupported by the facts; that the Litton patent is invalid; and that
Honeywell's process differs from Litton's. The judge in the case held a hearing
November 22, 1993, on various issues including, among others, Honeywell's claims
that the patent was improperly obtained due to alleged "inequitable conduct" on
the part of Litton and Honeywell's other legal and equitable defenses. The court
has yet to enter a judgment. The trial will conclude when the court has resolved
legal issues that could alter or eliminate the jury verdict. Honeywell will
evaluate the outcome of the trial, including appealing any significant judgment
against the company. No trial date has been set for the antitrust claims of
Litton and Honeywell.

The court has yet to rule on significant, complex and interrelated issues that
could alter or eliminate the jury verdict; therefore, Honeywell and its counsel
have determined that it is not possible to estimate the amount of damages, if
any, that may ultimately be incurred. As a result, no provision has been made in
the financial statements with respect to this contingent liability. Honeywell
continues to believe the lawsuit is without merit, and its financial position,
liquidity and business strategies have not been adversely affected by the jury
verdict.

On April 3, 1994, Honeywell had $1,875 million of committed credit lines with
fourteen banks. There were no borrowings under these lines. In addition, certain
foreign units had $333 million in credit lines available at the end of the first
quarter. The company believes its liquidity is adequate to meet its financing
requirements, including support of commercial paper and bank note borrowings and
an appeal bond that could be required in the Litton litigation.

Honeywell's credit ratings remained unchanged during the quarter. Ratings for
long-term and short-term debt are, respectively, A/A- 1 by Standard and Poor's
Corporation, A/Duff1 by Duff and Phelps Corporation, and A3/P-2 by Moody's
Investor Service, Inc. On August 31, 1993, Moody's Investor Service, Inc. placed
Honeywell on credit watch status as a result of the jury verdict in the Litton
litigation. Any lowering of Honeywell's present credit ratings could lead to
higher interest costs by potentially reducing Honeywell's ability to access the
commercial paper market and other unsecured borrowing sources on terms as
favorable as those currently available.
