INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Honeywell Retirement Savings Plan
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Honeywell Retirement
Savings Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 1996 and 1995 and for the years then
ended, as listed in the foregoing Table of Contents. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards 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. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the net assets available for benefits as of December 31, 1996
and 1995 and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then
ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental information by fund is
presented for the purpose of additional analysis of the basic financial
statements. It is not intended to present information regarding the net assets
available for benefits and changes in net assets available for benefits of the
individual funds, and it is not a required part of the basic financial
statements. This supplemental information by fund is the responsibility of the
Plan's management. Such supplemental information by fund has been subjected to
the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the basic financial statements
and, in our opinion, is fairly stated, in all material respects when considered
in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

HONEYWELL RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1995
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING - The financial statements of the Honeywell Retirement
Savings Plan (the Plan) are prepared under the accrual method of
accounting. Contributions to the Plan are included in income in the year
the contributions payable are accrued by Honeywell Inc. (the Sponsor) or
paid in by plan participants.
INVESTMENT VALUATION - All determinations of fair values of investments are
made by the trustees and are based upon quoted prices in an active market.
Unallocated insurance contracts are valued at their contract values, as
determined by issuing insurance companies.
PAYMENTS OF BENEFITS - Benefits are recorded when paid.
2. PLAN DESCRIPTION
GENERAL INFORMATION - The Plan is a voluntary, tax-deferred savings plan
designed to provide supplemental retirement benefits to certain Honeywell
employees covered by collective bargaining agreements which provide for
coverage under the Plan.
The Honeywell Pension and Retirement Committee, as the plan administrator,
designates members of the Honeywell Pension and Retirement Administrative
Committee and appoints the trustees. The Honeywell Pension and Retirement
Administrative Committee has authority to take actions as may be necessary
for the administration of the Plan or as it is directed by the Honeywell
Pension and Retirement Committee. See Note 5 for a listing of the
appointed trustees.
CONTRIBUTIONS - The following contributions are made to the Plan:
(a) The Sponsor contributes to the Plan, on behalf of participants,
various percentages of the participants' pay, as elected by the
participants. The maximum pretax and after-tax contribution
percentages are determined by the Honeywell Pension Retirement
Committee. The participants elect their own contribution levels,
subject to this maximum percentage. Contributions are
subject to certain limitations.
(b) Participants who have received distributions from other qualified
plans under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code or from
individual retirement plans under Sections 402 and 408 of the code may
transfer (rollover) all or part of such distributions to their
accounts.
LOANS TO PARTICIPANTS - The Plan allows participants to apply for and
obtain a loan in an amount as defined in the Plan (not less than $1,000 and
not greater than $50,000 or 50% of their pretax or pretax rollover account
balances) from the balance of their accounts. The loans can be repaid
through payroll deductions over the period of 12 to 48 months or up to 180
months for the purchase of a primary residence, or they can be repaid in
full at any time that is at least 6 months following the date of the loan.
Interest is charged at a rate equal to prime rate plus 1%. Payments of
principal and interest are credited to the participants' accounts. Also,
participants may have only one outstanding loan at a time.
6
<PAGE>
PARTICIPATION - Employees are eligible to participate in the Plan only if
they are covered under certain collective bargaining agreements which
provide for participation in the Plan, are classified as a Regular Employee
(as defined), and are not covered by any other savings plan maintained by
Honeywell. All participants' accounts are adjusted monthly for investment
income/loss, withdrawals, and for all other changes in net assets.
VESTING - Participants are 100% vested in their individual accounts. In
the event of plan termination, the participants' accounts become
distributable to the participants or their beneficiaries, in accordance
with the provisions of the Plan.
INVESTMENT OPTIONS - For contributions, the Plan provides for several
investment options. Individual participants choose the fund or funds in
which to invest from the following:
GOVERNMENT INCOME FUND - Invests primarily in short-term U.S.
Government securities.
SHORT-TERM BOND FUND - Invests in U.S. Government, mortgage, and
high-quality corporate bonds with short-term and intermediate-term
(one-five years) maturities.
BONDS PLUS FUND - Diversified among U.S. Treasury bills, high-quality
intermediate- and long-term (one-ten years) bonds, and domestic stocks.
STOCKS PLUS FUND - Invests in domestic stocks that make up the Standard
& Poor's 500 Composite Stock Index, high-quality bonds, T. Rowe Price
Foreign Equity Fund, and U.S. Treasury bills.
S&P 500 FUND - Invests in stocks that make up the Standard & Poor's 500
Composite Stock Index.
FROZEN FIXED INCOME FUND - Invests primarily in guaranteed investment
contracts. This fund is not an option for participant contribution in
1996.
HONEYWELL STOCK FUND - Invests entirely in shares of Honeywell Inc.
common stock.
UNITED INCOME FUND - Invests primarily in common stocks of large,
well-established companies that pay above-average dividends. The fund
also invests, to a lesser extent, in fixed-income securities - both
high-quality corporate bonds and U.S. Treasury obligations.
COLUMBIA SPECIAL FUND - Invests primarily in smaller companies with
capitalizations that are less than the average for the companies
included in the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Index.
TEMPLETON FUND - A global stock fund that invests primarily in common
stock of companies of any nation and not concentrated in any particular
industry.
JANUS FUND - Invests primarily in a combination of large, established
corporations and small, rapidly emerging companies.
VANGUARD WORLD GROWTH FUND - Invests primarily in high-quality,
established growth stocks of companies with exceptional earnings
records, strong market positions, good financial strength, and low
sensitivity to changing economic conditions.
7
<PAGE>
SCUDDER INTERNATIONAL FUND - Intends to diversify its foreign
investments among several countries and not concentrate investments in
any particular industry. This fund option was replaced in 1996 by the
Templeton Fund.
T. ROWE PRICE INTERNATIONAL STOCK FUND - Invests primarily in stock of
established companies outside the United States with proven performance
records.
T. ROWE PRICE SMALL CAP VALUE FUND - Invests primarily in common stocks
of small, rapidly growing companies.
T. ROWE PRICE EQUITY INCOME FUND - Invests primarily in common stocks
of large, well-established companies that pay above-average dividends.
PLAN STATUS - The Plan has received a favorable determination letter
from the Internal Revenue Service stating that the Plan was qualified
under the applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code.
PLAN TERMINATION - Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the
Sponsor has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at
any time and to terminate the Plan, subject to the provisions of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. In the event of plan
termination, participants shall be 100% vested in their accounts.
3. INTEREST IN MASTER TRUSTS
The Plan's investments are included in master trusts with T. Rowe Price
Trust Company and First Trust National Association, which were established
in 1993 for the investment of assets of the Plan and several other
Honeywell-sponsored retirement plans. Previously, the Plan's investments
were held in master trusts with various trust companies. Each
participating retirement plan has an undivided interest in the master
trusts. At December 31, 1996 and 1995, the Plan's interest in the net
assets of the master trusts was approximately 0% and 4.8%, respectively.
Investment income and administrative expenses related to the master trust
are allocated to the individual plans based upon average monthly balances
invested by each plan.
The following table presents the fair value of investments held in master
trusts (in thousands):

In 1993, the Sponsor transferred the GICs issued by Executive Life and
Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Company to First Trust National Association.
A master trust was established for the investment of these assets of the
Plan and several other Honeywell-sponsored retirement plans. Each
participating retirement plan has an undivided interest in the master
trust. At December 31, 1996 and 1995, the Plan's interest in the net
assets of the master trust was approximately 0% and 6%, respectively, and
the contract value of the GICs for the master trust was approximately $0
and $20.9 million at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
4. PARTIES-IN-INTEREST TRANSACTIONS
There were no prohibited party-in-interest transactions during the years
ended December 31, 1996 and 1995.
5. INFORMATION PROVIDED BY TRUSTEES
Plan funds are held in trust by trustees for the sole purpose of making
investments, plan payments, and for paying trust operating expenses.
Trustees appointed by the Honeywell Pension and Retirement Committee as of
December 31, 1996 were T. Rowe Price Company and First Trust National
Association.
The trustees provide the Plan with monthly statements, which report all
transactions. The plan administrator has obtained certifications from the
trustees that the information in such statements is complete and accurate.
The amounts in the accompanying statements of net assets available for
benefits and of changes in net assets available for benefits have been
derived from the information submitted by the trustees, except for certain
adjustments which resulted in an increase (decrease) in the amount of net
assets reported by the trustees of $88,877 and $907,805 as of December 31,
1996 and 1995, respectively. Such adjustments are primarily recorded for
the purpose of converting the trustees' statements from the cash basis to
the accrual basis of accounting and to reflect the impact of participant
loan activity.
