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, 1998 and 1997 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, 1998
and 1997 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, 1998 AND 1997
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 Board of Directors selects the standing member positions of the
        Savings Plan Committee, which is a named fiduciary in the document.
        The Savings Plan Committee has the authority to take such actions as
        may be necessary for the administration of the Plan. The Savings Plan
        Committee appoints the members to the Honeywell Pension and
        Retirement Administrative Committee and may delegate certain
        responsibilities to this Committee.

        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.

        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 6 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. No loans were made to participants subsequent to May 1996.

                                       6

        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.

               DIVERSIFIED INCOME FUND - Diversified among U.S. Treasury bills,
               high-quality intermediate- and long-term bonds, and domestic
               stocks.

               DIVERSIFIED BALANCED 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.

               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.

               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>

               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

               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.

3.      INVESTMENT IN EXECUTIVE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

        At December 31, 1998 and 1997, 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. As
        of the report date, June 11, 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.

        After the conservatorship was established, the 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.      INTERESTS IN MASTER TRUSTS

        The Plan's investments are included in Master Trusts with T. Rowe Price
        Trust Company and U.S. Bank 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, 1998 and
        1997, the Plan's interest in the net assets of the Master Trusts was
        approximately .1%, in each year. 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.

       In 1993, the Sponsor transferred the GICs issued by Executive Life and
       Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Company to U.S. Bank 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, 1998 and 1997, the Plan's interest in the net
       assets of the Master Trust was approximately 1%. The contract value of
       the GICs for the Master Trust was approximately $6.6 million at December
       31, 1998 and 1997.

5.      PARTY-IN-INTEREST TRANSACTIONS

        There were no prohibited party-in-interest transactions during the years
        ended December 31, 1998 and 1997.

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, 1998 were T. Rowe Price Trust Company and U.S. Bank
        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.

        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 as of December 31, 1998 and 1997.

7.     SUBSEQUENT EVENT

       Effective June 7, 1999, Honeywell Inc., the Sponsor, and AlliedSignal
       Inc. signed a definitive merger agreement. The Sponsor has not yet
       determined the impact this event will have upon the Plan.
