     On January 13, 1998, AlliedSignal acquired certain assets and assumed
certain liabilities from subsidiaries of Banner Aerospace, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ('Banner'), for 9,609,319 shares of Common Stock (the
'Acquisition'). The Acquisition was consummated pursuant to asset purchase
agreements dated December 8, 1997 among AlliedSignal, Banner and certain

     The Company has been informed by the Selling Stockholder that certain
subsidiaries of Banner whose assets were acquired by AlliedSignal in the

Restated Credit Agreement dated as of December 12, 1996 among Banner, certain
subsidiaries of Banner, Citicorp, USA, Inc. (as Administrative Agent and
Arranger), NationsBank, N.A. (as Co-Arranger) and the Institutions as Lenders
and Issuing Banks thereunder (the 'Banner Credit Agreement'). On or prior to
January 13, 1998, all of the lenders and issuing banks under the Banner Credit
Agreement assigned their interests as creditors thereunder to Blue Ridge. On
January 13, 1998, 4,689,655 shares of the Common Stock issued in connection with
the Acquisition were delivered to Blue Ridge by three subsidiaries of Banner in
payment of approximately $170 million of indebtedness incurred under the Banner
Credit Agreement. Blue Ridge and NationsBank, N.A. are both beneficially owned
by NationsBank Corporation. The offer and sale of the shares of Common Stock

                               MANNER OF OFFERING
 
     The Company has been informed by the Selling Stockholder that the shares of
Common Stock offered hereby will be sold by the Selling Stockholder through an
affiliated broker-dealer, NationsBanc Montgomery Securities LLC, which is also
beneficially owned solely by NationsBank Corporation. Such sales may be made on
one or more stock exchanges or in the over-the-counter market or otherwise, at
prices and at terms then prevailing or at prices related to the then current
market price, or in negotiated transactions. The shares of Common Stock may be
sold in one or more of the following: (1) a block trade in which NationsBanc
Montgomery Securities LLC will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may
position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the
transaction; (2) purchases by NationsBanc Montgomery Securities LLC as principal
and resale by such broker-dealer for its account pursuant to this Prospectus;
(3) an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of such exchange; and
(4) ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which NationsBanc
Montgomery Securities LLC solicits purchasers. In effecting sales, NationsBanc
Montgomery Securities LLC may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in
resales. The Company has a right of first refusal to purchase from the Selling
Stockholder in privately negotiated transactions any blocks of at least 100,000
shares of Common Stock which the Selling Stockholder intends to sell in a single
transaction or a series of related transactions.
 
     The distribution of the shares of Common Stock offered hereby may be
effected from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed price or
prices, which may be changed, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale,
at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at prices determined on a
negotiated or competitive bid basis. Shares of Common Stock offered hereby may
be sold by NationsBanc Montgomery Securities LLC acting as agent or broker for
the Selling Stockholder, or to NationsBanc Montgomery Securities LLC acting as
principal. In the latter case, NationsBanc Montgomery Securities LLC may then
resell such shares to the public at varying prices to be determined by such
broker-dealer acting as principal. The Company has been informed that by
agreement between Banner and the Selling Stockholder, all shares of Common Stock
offered hereby shall be sold during the first sixty days that both (1) the
Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part is effective pursuant
to the Securities Act and (2) the Selling Stockholder is not required to suspend
sales of Common Stock offered hereunder.
 
     For its services in selling the shares of Common Stock offered hereby, the
Selling Stockholder has agreed to pay NationsBanc Montgomery Securities LLC
$0.04 per share of Common Stock sold. NationsBanc Montgomery Securities LLC and
any other participating broker-dealers may be deemed to be 'underwriters' within
the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales and the
commission to be paid may be deemed to be an underwriting discount or commission
under the Securities Act.
 
     All costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration of the
shares of Common Stock offered hereby shall be borne by the Selling Stockholder.
Commissions and discounts, if any, attributable to the sales of shares of Common
Stock hereunder will be borne by the Selling Stockholder. The Company has been
informed that pursuant to a separate agreement by and among Banner and certain
of its subsidiaries, NationsBank, N.A. and the Selling Stockholder, Banner and
such subsidiaries have agreed to pay the costs, expenses and fees of
registration of the shares of Common Stock offered hereby and to bear the $0.04
per share commission payable by the Selling Stockholder to NationsBanc
Montgomery Securities LLC. The Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling
Stockholder and any affiliated broker-dealer, including NationsBanc Montgomery
Securities LLC, against certain liabilities in connection with the offering of
the shares of Common Stock hereunder, including liabilities arising under the
Securities Act.
 
     Certain persons participating in the distribution of shares of Common Stock
offered hereby may engage in transactions that stabilize the price of the Common
Stock.

                                 LEGAL MATTERS
 
     Certain legal matters in connection with the shares of Common Stock offered
hereby have been passed upon for the Company by J. Edward Smith, Senior Counsel,
Corporate and Finance, of AlliedSignal.
 
                                    EXPERTS
 
     The consolidated financial statements of the Company incorporated in this
Prospectus by reference to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 1996 have been so incorporated in reliance on the report of
Price Waterhouse LLP ('Price Waterhouse'), independent accountants, given on the
authority of said firm as experts in auditing and accounting.
 
     With respect to the unaudited consolidated financial information of the
Company for the three month periods ended March 31, the three- and six-month
periods ended June 30 and the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30,
1997 and 1996, incorporated by reference in this Prospectus, Price Waterhouse
reported that they have applied limited procedures in accordance with
professional standards for a review of such information. However, their separate
reports dated April 24, 1997, July 25, 1997 and October 27, 1997 incorporated by
reference herein, state that they did not audit and they did not express an
opinion on that unaudited financial information. Price Waterhouse has not
carried out any significant or additional tests beyond those which would have
been necessary if their report had not been included. Accordingly, the degree of
reliance on their report on such information should be restricted in light of
the limited nature of the review procedures applied. Price Waterhouse is not
subject to the liability provisions of section 11 of the Securities Act for
their report on the unaudited consolidated financial information because that
report is not a 'report' or a 'part' of the registration statement prepared or
certified by Price Waterhouse within the meaning of sections 7 and 11 of the
Securities Act.
 
                           FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
     This Prospectus contains, or incorporates by reference, certain statements
that may be deemed 'forward-looking statements' within the meaning of Section
27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. All statements,
other than statements of historical facts, that address activities, events or
developments that the Company intends, expects, projects, believes or
anticipates will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. Such
statements are based on certain assumptions and assessments made by management
of the Company in light of its experience and its perception of historical
trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors it
believes to be appropriate. The forward-looking statements included in this
Prospectus are also subject to a number of material risks and uncertainties,
including but not limited to economic, competitive, governmental and
technological factors affecting the Company's operations, markets, products,
services and prices, and other factors discussed in the Company's filings under
the Securities Act and the Exchange Act. Prospective investors are cautioned
that such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance
and that actual results, developments and business decisions may differ from
those envisaged by such forward-looking statements.
