INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Honeywell Retirement Investment Plan
We have audited the statement of net assets available for benefits of Honeywell
Retirement Investment Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 1997 and 1996 and the
statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then
ended. 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, 1997
and 1996 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, 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 INVESTMENT PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 AND 1996
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING - The financial statements of the Honeywell Retirement
Investment Plan (the Plan) are prepared under the accrual method of
accounting. Contributions to the Plan were included in income in the year
the contributions payable were 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 program
designed to provide supplemental retirement benefits to certain employees.
It succeeded Part B of the Sperry Retirement Program. Most legal provisions
of the Sperry Plan remained unchanged, and the Plan continues to serve
employees covered by a collective bargaining agreement which provided 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 such 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 the
appointed trustees.
In May 1996, the Sponsor sold the division to which the participants were
employed. In accordance with the sale, participants can no longer
contribute to the Plan and no longer receive contributions from the
Sponsor. All participants became fully vested upon sale of the division. It
is Honeywell's intent to hold these assets until the participants are
eligible to access them under Plan provisions. There were no other
significant changes to the provisions of the Plan.
CONTRIBUTIONS - The following contributions are made to the Plan:
(a) Prior to May 1996, 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.

<PAGE>
(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 distributions to their
accounts.
(c) Prior to May 1996, the Sponsor contributed between $.25 and $.50 in
Honeywell Inc. stock to the participants' Performance Stock Match Fund
accounts for each $1.00 participants contributed to their pretax
accounts. Such sponsor contributions were limited to a maximum of 4%
of the participants' pay. The amount of the Sponsor's contribution
depended upon the Sponsor's return on investment (as defined).
LOANS TO PARTICIPANTS - The Plan allows participants to apply for and
obtain loans 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 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 six months after 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 - Employees are eligible to participate in the Plan only if
they are classified regular full-time or regular part-time employees, are
not covered by any other savings plan maintained by Honeywell Inc., and are
covered under a collective bargaining agreement which provides for
participation in the Plan.
VESTING - Participants are 100% vested in the portion of 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' vested 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. Prior to May 1996, 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:
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 to five years) maturities.
BONDS PLUS FUND - Diversified among U.S. Treasury bills, high-quality
intermediate- and long-term (one to ten) 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.

<PAGE>
S&P 500 FUND - Invests in stocks that make up the Standard & Poor's
500 Composite Stock Index.
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 Stock Index.
JANUS FUND - Invests primarily in a combination of large, established
corporations and small, rapidly emerging companies.
SCUDDER INTERNATIONAL FUND - Intends to diversify its foreign
investments among several countries and not concentrate investments in
any particular industry. During the 1996 plan year this fund option
was eliminated.
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.
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. INVESTMENT IN EXECUTIVE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
At December 31, 1997 and 1996, the Plan's Isolated Funds consisted
primarily of investments in Executive Life Insurance Company (Executive
Life) guaranteed investment contracts (GICs), which represented
approximately 1% of total net assets available for benefits in both years.
In 1991, the State of California insurance commissioner seized Executive
Life and placed it in a court-supervised conservatorship. Distributions
have been received from the conservator totaling
8
<PAGE>
approximately 80% of the contract balance immediately prior to the
conservatorship. As of the report date, June 8, 1998, the Plan has received
91% 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 the 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 Sponsor has 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. INTERESTS 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. Each participating retirement plan
has an undivided interest in the master trusts. At December 31, 1997 and
1996, the Plan's interest in the net assets of the master trusts was
approximately .1% and .2%, 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, 1997 and 1996, the Plan's interest in the net assets
of the master trust was approximately 0.72%. The contract value of the GICs
for the master trust was approximately $6.6 million and $17.6 million at
December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
5. PARTIES-IN-INTEREST TRANSACTIONS
There were no prohibited party-in-interest transactions during the years
