INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


Investment Plus Plan of Honeywell Inc.

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Investment Plus Plan of
Honeywell, Inc. (the Plan) as of December 31, 1996 and 1995 and for the years
then ended, 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, rather than to present information regarding the net assets
available for benefits and changes in net assets available for benefits of the
individual funds.  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.

INVESTMENT PLUS PLAN OF HONEYWELL INC.

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 Investment Plus Plan
    of Honeywell Inc. (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,
    except unallocated insurance contracts, which are valued at their contract
    values, as determined by the issuing insurance companies.

    PAYMENT 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 Honeywell nonunion
    employees.

    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 6 for a listing of appointed
    trustees.

    CONTRIBUTIONS - The following contributions are made to the Plan:

    (a)  The Sponsor contributes to the Plan, on behalf of the 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 and Retirement
         Committee.  Participants elect their own contribution levels, subject
         to this maximum percentage.  Contributions, including sponsor stock
         match contributions, are also 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 a part of such distribution to their
         accounts.

    (c)  The Sponsor contributes between $.50 and $1.00 in Honeywell stock to
         the participants' Performance stock match fund account for each $1.00
         the participants contribute to their pretax account.  Such sponsor
         contribution is limited to a maximum of 4% of the participants' pay.
         The amount of the sponsor contribution depends upon the Sponsor's
         return on investment (as defined).

    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 and pretax


                                          6

    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.

    PARTICIPATION - Each employee classified as a regular full-time or regular
    part-time employee of the Sponsor, except a person employed by an excluded
    business unit or a person employed under a collective bargaining agreement,
    automatically becomes a participant on the date of hire by the Sponsor or
    transfer into the Plan.

    VESTING - Participants are 100% vested in their individual accounts
    attributable to their contributions and become 100% vested in the portion
    of their accounts attributable to sponsor contributions to the stock match
    fund after three years of service.  In the event of plan termination, the
    individual participants' accounts become distributable to the participants
    or their beneficiaries in accordance with the provisions of the Plan.

    FORFEITURES - All nonvested sponsor contributions are forfeited by
    participants when they terminate employment.  Such forfeitures are used to
    reduce the Sponsor's subsequent contributions.

    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 funds:

         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- 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.

         common stock.

         UNITED INCOME FUND - Invests primarily in common stocks of large,

         also invests, to a lesser extent, in fixed income securities - both
         high-quality corporate bonds and U.S. Treasury obligations.

         JANUS FUND - Invests primarily in a combination of large, established
         corporations and small, rapidly emerging companies.


                                          7

<PAGE>

         TEMPLETON FUND - A global stock fund that invests primarily in common
         stock of companies of any nation and not concentrated in any
         particular industry.

         COLUMBIA SPECIAL FUND - Invests primarily in smaller companies with
         capitalization that is less than the average for the companies
         included in the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index.

         VANGUARD WORLD 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.

         SCUDDER INTERNATIONAL FUND - Intends to diversify through foreign
         investments among several countries and not concentrated in any
         particular industry.  This fund option was replaced in 1996 by the
         Templeton Fund.

         of established companies outside the United States with proven

    PLAN STATUS - The Plan has received a favorable determination letter
    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 (ERISA).  In the event of
    plan termination, participants shall be 100% vested in their accounts.

3.  INVESTMENT IN EXECUTIVE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

    At December 31, 1996 and 1995, the Plan's Isolated Funds primarily
    consisted of investments in Executive Life Insurance Company (Executive
    Life) guaranteed investment contracts (GICs), with approximately 1% of
    total net assets available for benefits for both years.  In 1991, the State
    of California insurance commissioner seized Executive Life and placed it in
    a court-supervised conservatorship.  Distributions had been received from
    the conservator totaling approximately 80% of the contract balance
    immediately prior to the conservatorship. As of the report date, June 20,
    1997, the Plan has received 93% of the contract balance.  Further, the
    Plan's management currently estimates that the sum of additional
    distributions from the conservator and recoveries from various state
    guarantee funds will not differ significantly from the remaining recorded
    contract values.  Although the Plan is currently involved in litigation
    with various state guaranty funds regarding the amount and nature of
    coverage, plan management does not believe that the ultimate shortfall will
    be material to the Plan's financial statements.

    After the conservatorship was established, the Plan's Sponsor isolated the
    Executive Life GICs into the Isolated Fund pursuant to a plan amendment
    requiring such action.  Currently, there are certain restrictions on the
    ability to withdraw, transfer, or conduct settlement activity with respect
    to the remaining balances.

4.  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 1994 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 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 99% and 95%, 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):

                                                        1996          1995

    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 90% and 84%, respectively.
    The contract value of the GICs for the master trust was approximately $17.6
    million and $20.9 million at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

5.  PARTIES-IN-INTEREST TRANSACTIONS

    There were no prohibited party-in-interest transactions during the periods
    ended December 31, 1996 and 1995.

6.  INFORMATION PROVIDED BY TRUSTEES

    Plan funds are held in trust by trustees for the sole purpose of making
    investments and plan payments and paying trust operating expenses.
    Trustees appointed by the Honeywell Pension and Retirement Committee as of
    December 31, 1996 were T. Rowe Price Trust 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 increases (decreases) in the amount of net
    assets reported of $8,621,802 and $10,902,074 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.

    The Government Income Fund, Stocks Plus Fund, S&P 500 Fund, and Honeywell
    Stock Fund individually represent 5% or more of net assets available for
    benefits at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

7.  PLAN MERGER

    Effective December 31, 1996, the Retirement Savings Plan (RSP), which is
    also sponsored by Honeywell, was merged into the Plan.  The RSP Plan was a
    participant in the same master trusts as the Plan.  As of January 1, 1997,
    the name of the Plan was changed to the Honeywell Stock Ownership Plan.
