RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
Activity in Aerospace Systems included the acquisition, in January 1998, of
substantially all the assets of Banner Aerospace, distributors of FAA-certified
aircraft hardware, for common stock valued at approximately $350 million. The
acquired operations have annual sales of about $250 million, principally to
commercial air transport and general aviation customers. In June 1998, the
Company acquired a controlling interest in the Normalair-Garrett Ltd
environmental controls joint venture. The acquired operations have annual sales
of approximately $240 million. Several smaller acquisitions were also completed.
In the first quarter of 1998, the Company sold its underwater detection systems
business to L-3 Communications Corporation for approximately $70 million in cash
and, in September 1998, the Company sold its communications systems business to
Raytheon Company for approximately $60 million in cash. The divested businesses
had annual sales of about $190 million. Aerospace Systems also strengthened its
leadership in flight safety products by winning several major contracts for its
new FAA-approved Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System which gives pilots
advance warning time of a collision with terrain.
In June 1998, the Company acquired Pharmaceutical Fine Chemicals S.A. (PFC)
of Lugano, Switzerland, for approximately $390 million, including assumed
liabilities, as part of the Specialty Chemicals & Electronic Solutions segment.
PFC manufactures and distributes active and intermediate
9
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
pharmaceutical chemicals and had sales of about $110 million in 1997. Several
other smaller acquisitions were also completed during the year. In April 1998,
the European laminates business of Electronic Materials was sold.
Turbine Technologies began development of the AS900, its first new turbofan
engine platform in more than 20 years, for the rapidly growing general and
regional aviation market. It is scheduled for FAA certification in the first
quarter of 2001. Turbocharging Systems is entering the small-scale power
generation business to serve a growing demand for low cost, highly reliable and
efficient independent power units. International distribution alliances for the
power systems were formed in 1998. Initial product shipments are scheduled for
mid-1999.
Performance Polymers formed a joint venture with DSM Chemicals North
America to construct and operate an $80 million recycling facility to convert
nylon carpet into caprolactam, the raw material used in carpeting and automobile
parts. Performance Polymers exited its European carpet fibers business and a
portion of the North American textile business in 1998. Performance Polymers
also sold its phenol facility to Sun Company, Inc. in 1998, and as part of the
sale the Company retained a phenol supply arrangement for its nylon business.
In Transportation Products, Truck Brake Systems and its partner,
Knorr-Bremse AG, established a joint venture company with Robert Bosch GmbH
(Bosch) combining their European commercial heavy-duty brake systems businesses.
Bosch contributed its commercial vehicle brake product division to the European
joint venture, in exchange for a 20% interest in the joint venture. The Company
will also have a 20% ownership interest in the European joint venture.
Knorr-Bremse, AlliedSignal's joint venture partner since 1993, will have the
remaining 60% interest.
In June 1998, the Company sold its interest in its automotive catalyst
business to a unit of General Motors Corporation for approximately $50 million
in cash. This business had annual sales of about $250 million.
In 1998, the Company was unsuccessful in its $10 billion unsolicited offer
for AMP Incorporated (AMP), a manufacturer of electrical connection devices. In
connection with this transaction, the Company acquired approximately a 9%
interest in AMP for $890 million. The fair market value of the investment at
December 31, 1998 was $1,041 million.
In January 1999, the Company announced that it will commence realignment of
its aerospace businesses in the first quarter to strengthen their market and
customer focus, simplify the business structure and reduce costs.
U.S. GOVERNMENT SALES
Sales to the U.S. Government (primarily aerospace-related), acting through
its various departments and agencies and through prime contractors, amounted to
$1,891 million for 1998 and $1,851 million for 1997, which includes sales to the
U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) of $1,366 million in 1998 and $1,338 million in
1997. Approximately 58% and 59% of sales to the U.S. Government in 1998 and
1997, respectively, were made under fixed-price contracts in which the Company
agrees to perform a contract for a fixed price, retaining any benefits of cost
savings and absorbing any cost overruns. The Company is affected by U.S.
Government budget restraints for defense and space programs. After years of
decline, U.S. defense spending increased slightly in 1998 and is expected to
increase over the next several years.
In addition to normal business risks, companies engaged in supplying
military and other equipment to the U.S. Government are subject to unusual
risks, including dependence on Congressional appropriations and administrative
allotment of funds, changes in governmental procurement legislation and
regulations and other policies that may reflect military and political
developments, significant changes in contract scheduling, complexity of designs
and the rapidity with which they become obsolete, necessity for constant design
improvements, intense competition for U.S. Government business necessitating
increases in time and investment for design and development, difficulty of
forecasting costs and schedules when bidding on developmental and highly
sophisticated technical work and other factors characteristic of the industry.
Changes are customary over the life of U.S. Government contracts, particularly
development contracts, and generally result in adjustments of contract prices.
10
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
The Company, like other government contractors, is subject to government
investigations of business practices and compliance with government procurement
regulations. Although such regulations provide that a contractor may be
suspended or debarred from government contracts under certain circumstances, and
the outcome of pending government investigations cannot be predicted
with certainty, management is not currently aware of any such investigations
that it expects, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse
effect on the Company. In addition, the Company has a proactive business
compliance program designed to ensure compliance and sound business practices.
BACKLOG
Orders for certain aerospace-related products sold to general and
commercial aviation customers mainly consist of relatively short-term and
frequently renewed commitments. Government procurement agencies generally issue
contracts covering relatively long periods of time. Total backlog (principally
for aerospace-related products and services) for both government and commercial
contracts was $5,012 million at December 31, 1998 and $5,087 million at
December 31, 1997 of which U.S. and foreign government orders were $1,511
million and $1,908 million for the respective years. The Company anticipates
that approximately $3,553 million of the total 1998 backlog will be filled
during 1999.
Backlog information may not be an accurate indicator of future sales.
Government contracts and, in general, subcontracts thereunder are terminable, in
whole or in part, for default or for convenience by the government or the higher
level contractor if deemed in their best interest. Upon termination for
convenience, the contractor is normally entitled to reimbursement for allowable
costs and to an allowance for profit. However, if the contract is terminated
because of the contractor's default, the contractor may not recover all of its
costs and may be liable for any excess costs incurred by the government in
procuring undelivered items from another source.
In addition to the right of the government to terminate, government
contracts are conditioned upon the continuing availability of Congressional
appropriations. Congress usually appropriates funds on a fiscal-year basis even
though contract performance may extend over many years. Consequently, at the
outset of a program, the prime contract is usually partially funded and
additional funds are normally only appropriated to the contract by Congress in
future years. Fixed-price subcontracts are normally fully funded, but are
subject to convenience termination if the prime contract is not funded.

COMPETITION
The Company encounters substantial competition, in each of its product
areas, from businesses producing the same or similar products and businesses
producing different products designed for the same uses. Such competition is
expected to continue in all geographic markets. Depending on the particular
market involved, the Company's businesses compete on a variety of factors, such
as price, quality, delivery, customer service, performance, product innovation
and product recognition. Other competitive factors for certain products include
breadth of product line, research and development efforts and technical and
managerial capability. While the Company's competitive position varies among its
products, the Company believes it is a significant factor in each of its major
product classes.
Certain products and services of the Company are sold in competition with
those of a large number of other companies, some of which have substantial
financial resources and significant technological capabilities. Other products
compete with independent suppliers or with the captive
11

<PAGE>
component divisions of the vehicle manufacturers. Still other businesses
are aligned around markets, customers and common technologies. Brand identity,
service to customers and quality are important competitive factors in the
market and there is considerable price competition.
INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS
The Company is engaged in manufacturing, sales and/or research and
development mainly in the U.S., Europe, Canada, Asia and Latin America. U.S.
exports and foreign manufactured products are significant to the Company's
operations. U.S. exports comprised 17% of total Company net sales in both 1998
and 1997. Foreign manufactured products and services, mainly in Europe, were 21%
and 22% of total Company net sales in 1998 and 1997, respectively.
The Company's international operations, including U.S. exports, are
potentially subject to a number of unique risks and limitations, including:
fluctuations in currency value; exchange control regulations; wage and price
controls; employment regulations; foreign investment laws; import and trade
restrictions, including embargoes; and governmental instability.
Approximately 25% of total sales of aerospace-related products and services
were exports of U.S. manufactured products and systems, performance of services
such as aircraft repair and overhaul, and licensing activities. Exports were
principally made to Europe, Asia and Canada. The principal manufacturing
facilities outside of the U.S. are in Europe and Canada. Foreign manufactured
products comprised 11% of total sales of aerospace-related products and
services.
Exports of U.S. manufactured automotive products comprised 5% of total
sales of automotive products. The principal manufacturing facilities outside the
U.S. are in Europe, with less significant operations in Asia, Latin America and
Canada. Foreign manufactured products accounted for 47% of total sales of
automotive products.
Approximately 13% of total sales of chemicals, fibers, plastics and
advanced materials were exports of U.S. manufactured products. Exports were
principally made to Asia, Europe, Latin America and Canada. The principal
manufacturing facilities outside the U.S. are in Europe, with less significant
operations in Asia and Canada. Foreign manufactured products comprised 19% of
total sales of chemicals, fibers, plastics and advanced materials.
RAW MATERIALS
The principal raw materials used to produce the Company's products include:
aerospace products -- carbon fiber; electronic, optical and mechanical component
parts and assemblies; electronic and electromechanical devices and metallic
products; automotive products -- castings, forgings, steel and bar stock,
copper, aluminum, platinum and titanium and chemicals, fibers, plastics and
advanced materials -- cumene, natural gas, sulfur, terephthalic acid, ethylene
and ethylene glycol, fluorspar, HF, carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, nylon
resins, fiberglass, copper foil, platinum, rhodium, polyester chips, lubricating
oil by-products and butylrubber. The Company is producing virtually all of its
HF and nylon resin requirements. The principal raw materials used in the
Company's operations are generally readily available. Major requirements for key
raw materials and fuels are typically purchased pursuant to multi-year
contracts. The Company is not dependent on any one supplier for a material
amount of its raw material or fuel requirements. However, the Company is highly
dependent on its suppliers and subcontractors in order to meet commitments to
its customers. In addition, many major components and product equipment items
are procured or subcontracted on a sole-source basis with a number of domestic
and foreign companies. The Company maintains a qualification and performance
surveillance process to control risk associated with such reliance on third
parties. The Company believes that sources of supply for raw materials and
components are generally adequate, although, temporary shortages may occur from
time to time.
PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS
The Company owns approximately 9,000 patents or patent applications and is
licensed under other patents covering certain of its products and processes. It
believes that, in the aggregate, the rights under such patents and licenses are
generally important to its operations, but does not consider
12
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
that any patent or patent license agreement or group of them related to a
specific process or product is of material importance in relation to the
Company's total business.
The Company also has registered trademarks for a number of its products.
Some of the more significant trademarks include: AiResearch, Anso, Autolite,
Bendix, Bendix/King, Capron, Fram, Garrett, Genetron, Holts, Prestone and Redex.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
The Company's research activities are directed toward the discovery and
development of new products and processes, improvements in existing products and
processes, and the development of new uses of existing products.
Research and development expense totaled $394, $349 and $345 million in
1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Customer-sponsored (principally the U.S.
Government) research and development activities amounted to an additional $418,
$527 and $536 million in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
ENVIRONMENT
The Company is subject to various federal, state and local requirements
regulating the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relating
to the protection of the environment. It is the Company's policy to comply with
these requirements and the Company believes that, as a general matter, its
policies, practices and procedures are properly designed to prevent unreasonable
risk of environmental damage, and of resulting financial liability, in
connection with its business. Some risk of environmental damage is, however,
inherent in certain operations and products of the Company, as it is with other
companies engaged in similar businesses.
The Company is and has been engaged in the handling, manufacture, use or
disposal of many substances classified as hazardous or toxic by one or more
regulatory agencies. The Company believes that, as a general matter, its
handling, manufacture, use and disposal of such substances are in accord with
environmental laws and regulations. It is possible, however, that future
knowledge or other developments, such as improved capability to detect
substances in the environment or increasingly strict environmental laws and
standards and enforcement policies thereunder, could bring into question the
Company's handling, manufacture, use or disposal of such substances.
Among other environmental requirements, the Company is subject to the
federal superfund law, and similar state laws, under which the Company has been
designated as a potentially responsible party that may be liable for cleanup
costs associated with various hazardous waste sites, some of which are on the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's superfund priority list. Although, under
some court interpretations of these laws, there is a possibility that a
responsible party might have to bear more than its proportional share of the
cleanup costs if it is unable to obtain appropriate contribution from other
responsible parties, the Company has not had to bear significantly more than its
proportional share in multi-party situations taken as a whole.
Capital expenditures for environmental control facilities at existing
operations were $52 million in 1998. The Company estimates that during each of
the years 1999 and 2000 such capital expenditures will be in the $60 to $65
million range. In addition to capital expenditures, the Company has incurred and
will continue to incur operating costs in connection with such facilities.
Reference is made to Management's Discussion and Analysis at page 22 of the
Company's 1998 Annual Report to shareowners, incorporated herein by reference,
for further information regarding environmental matters.
EMPLOYEES
The Company had an aggregate of 70,400 employees at December 31, 1998.
Approximately 49,900 were located in the United States, and, of these employees,
about 23% were unionized employees represented by various local or national
unions.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The Company has approximately 340 locations consisting of plants, research
laboratories, sales offices and other facilities. The plants are generally
located to serve large marketing areas and to provide accessibility to raw
materials and labor pools. The properties are generally maintained in good
operating condition. Utilization of these plants may vary with government
spending and other business conditions; however, no major operating facility is
significantly idle. The facilities, together with planned expansions, are
expected to meet the Company's needs for the foreseeable future. The Company
owns or leases warehouses, railroad cars, barges, automobiles, trucks, airplanes
and materials handling and data processing equipment. It also leases space for
administrative and sales staffs. The Company's headquarters and administrative
complex is located at Morris Township, New Jersey.
The principal plants, which are owned in fee unless otherwise indicated,
are as follows:

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The first four paragraphs of Note 20 (Commitments and Contingencies) of
Notes to Financial Statements at page 39 of the Company's 1998 Annual Report to
shareowners are incorporated herein by reference.
The Indiana Department of Environmental Management issued a Notice of
Violation (NOV) to the Company on August 18, 1997 alleging, principally, that
the Company had failed to obtain certain air emissions permits required for the
construction and operation of various equipment at its South Bend, Indiana
plant. The Company could be subject to monetary sanctions which may exceed
$100,000. Management does not believe that any such monetary sanctions, if
imposed, will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated results of
operations or financial position of the Company.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
AlliedSignal Inc.
1998 COMPARED WITH 1997
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net sales in 1998 were $15,128 million, an increase of $656 million, or 5%,
compared with 1997. Of this increase, $1,103 million was due to volume gains and
$1,083 million was from acquisitions, offset in part by a $1,188 million
reduction for divested businesses, mainly the automotive safety restraints
business. Selling prices were lower by $274 million and the impact of foreign
exchange also reduced net sales by $68 million.
Cost of goods sold as a percent of net sales was 75.8% in 1998 compared with
79.3% in 1997. Included in 1997 are repositioning and other charges (special
charges) totaling $237 million. See Note 3 of Notes to Financial Statements for
further information. Excluding these special charges, 1997 cost of goods sold as
a percent of net sales was 77.7%. The decrease in 1998 in cost of goods sold as
a percent of net sales reflects results of the Company's Six Sigma programs to
improve productivity and lower manufacturing and material costs and the net
gains from divestitures of non-strategic lines of business. Six Sigma refers to
efforts to reach defect-free performance in manufacturing and other business
processes.
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales increased
to 11.2% in 1998 from 10.9% in 1997. Expenses increased by $109 million, or 7%,
reflecting in part the impact of acquisitions and costs associated with the
Company's unsuccessful effort to acquire AMP Incorporated (AMP).
Gain on sale of strategic business units reflects the 1997 pretax gain of $226
million, comprised of a $277 million gain on the sale of the safety restraints
business, partially offset by a charge of $51 million related to the settlement
of the 1996 sale of the automotive braking business. See Note 4 of Notes to
Financial Statements for further information.
Income from operations of $1,962 million in 1998 improved by $326 million, or
20%, compared with 1997. Income from operations in 1997 includes the net pretax
gain on the sale of strategic business units and special charges (special
items). Excluding the impact of these special items, income from operations in
1998 improved by $315 million, or 19%. The Company's operating margin was 13.0%
in 1998, compared with 11.4% in 1997. Income from operations is discussed in
detail by segment in the Review of Business Segments section below.
Equity in income of affiliated companies of $150 million decreased by $28
million, or 16%, compared with 1997, mainly due to lower earnings from the UOP
process technology joint venture (UOP), partially offset by a gain on the sale
of a portion of the Company's interest in its European Truck Brake Systems joint
venture.
<PAGE>
Other income (expense), a $7 million loss in 1998, was unfavorable by $84
million, compared with 1997, reflecting lower investment income and reduced
benefits from foreign exchange hedging.
Interest and other financial charges of $162 million in 1998 decreased by $13
million, or 7%, compared with 1997. The decrease results from lower tax interest
expense due to favorable settlements of worldwide tax audits, offset in part by
higher debt-related interest expense reflecting higher levels of debt.
The effective tax rate in 1998 decreased to 31.5% compared with 33.0% in 1997
adjusted for special items, primarily due to an increase in energy and research
and development tax credits.
Net income in 1998 of $1,331 million, or $2.32 per share, was 14% higher than
1997 net income of $1,170 million, or $2.02 per share. Net income in 1998 was
also 14% higher than 1997 net income of $1,166 million, or $2.01 per share, as
adjusted for special items. The higher net income in 1998 was the result of
substantially improved earnings for Aerospace Systems, Performance Polymers and
Turbine Technologies. Transportation Products and Specialty Chemicals &
Electronic Solutions had significantly lower earnings.

=================================================
</TABLE>
Aerospace Systems sales of $4,871 million in 1998 increased by $754 million, or
18%, compared with 1997. The sales increase reflects continued strong demand for
Electronic & Avionics Systems flight safety products, particularly the enhanced
ground proximity warning system and the traffic alert and collision avoidance
system, and increased sales of communication and navigation products such as the
Quantum radio. Aerospace Equipment Systems aftermarket sales also increased
significantly, particularly for environmental control systems, aircraft landing
systems and engine fuel systems. The acquisitions of the Grimes Aerospace
(Grimes) lighting systems business in July 1997, the Banner Aerospace (Banner)
FAA-certified hardware parts business in January 1998, and a controlling
interest in the Normalair-Garrett Ltd. (NGL) environmental controls joint
venture in June 1998 also contributed to higher sales. The divestitures of the
communications and ocean systems businesses in 1998 were a partial offset.

<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Aerospace Systems income from operations of $920 million in 1998 improved by
$312 million, or 51%, from the 1997 income from operations. Electronic &
Avionics Systems income from operations was substantially higher due to
increased sales, improved factory performance and the divestitures of the
communications and ocean systems businesses. Aerospace Equipment Systems income
from operations was significantly higher due principally to increased sales of
more profitable aftermarket products. The acquisitions of Grimes, Banner and NGL
also contributed to higher income from operations.

=================================================
</TABLE>
Specialty Chemicals & Electronic Solutions sales of $2,241 million in 1998 were
$23 million, or 1% higher, compared with 1997. Specialty Chemicals sales were
higher primarily reflecting the acquisitions of the Astor Holdings (Astor) wax
business in October 1997 and the Pharmaceutical Fine Chemicals S.A. (PFC)
pharmaceutical chemicals business in June 1998. The sales increase was partially
offset by lower sales for Electronic Materials due to continued softness in the
semiconductor and electronics markets and the divestiture of the European
laminates business in April 1998. The divestiture of the environmental catalyst
business in June 1998 also tempered the sales increase.
Specialty Chemicals & Electronic Solutions income from operations of $327
million in 1998 increased by $1 million from the 1997 income from operations.
Specialty Chemicals income from operations was flat reflecting the negative
impact of pricing pressures, offset by lower raw material costs, acquisitions
and cost structure improvements from census reductions. Electronic Materials
income from operations decreased due to lower sales which was offset by the
divestiture of the environmental catalyst business.

=================================================
</TABLE>
Turbine Technologies sales of $3,638 million in 1998 increased by $527 million,
or 17%, compared with 1997. Engines sales increased significantly due to higher
sales of propulsion engines in the regional and business jet markets and
auxiliary power units in the commercial air transport market. Turbocharging
Systems sales also increased substantially, benefiting from increased
penetration of the turbocharged diesel passenger car market in Europe and the
light truck market in North America.
Turbine Technologies income from operations of $458 million in 1998 improved
by $57 million, or 14%, from the 1997 income from operations. Both Engines
and Turbocharging Systems income from operations was substantially higher
due principally to increased sales and productivity improvements.

</TABLE>
Performance Polymers sales of $1,928 million in 1998 decreased by $102 million,
or 5%, compared with 1997. The sales decrease reflects the loss of sales
resulting from the divestiture of the phenol business and the exiting of the
European carpet fibers business and a portion of the North American textile
business. Sales increases for specialty films and engineering plastics were a
partial offset.
Performance Polymers income from operations of $307 million in 1998 increased by
$92 million, or 43%, from the 1997 income from operations. The improvement in
income from operations was primarily driven by a more favorable price-cost
relationship in nylon and polyester, improved productivity at the caprolactam
facility and the divestiture of the phenol business.

=================================================
</TABLE>
Transportation Products sales of $2,441 million in 1998 were $542 million, or
18%, lower compared with 1997 reflecting the disposition of the safety
restraints business. Excluding the divested safety restraints business,
Transportation Products sales increased 8%. The increase in sales reflects the
acquisitions of Prestone Products (Prestone) in June 1997 and the Holt Lloyd
Group Ltd. (Holt Lloyd) in November 1997 in the Consumers Products Group. Sales
for Truck Brake Systems also improved significantly, as strong
original-equipment sales were driven by an improvement in truck builds and
increased market penetration for anti-lock brake systems (ABS). Sales for
Friction Materials were moderately lower.
Transportation Products income from operations of $106 million in 1998 declined
by $88 million, or 45%, from the 1997 income from operations. The decrease
reflects the absence of income from operations from the divested safety
restraints business. Income from operations from the Consumer Products Group
also decreased substantially due in part to the initial costs of new
distribution facilities, higher advertising expense to increase brand awareness
and other expenses to improve future operations. Friction Materials income from
operations was lower due primarily to decreased sales. Income from operations
from Truck Brake Systems was substantially higher due to strong sales growth and
plant cost reductions.
FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Total assets at December 31, 1998 were $15,560 million, an increase of $1,853
million, or 14%, from December 31, 1997. The increase mainly reflects
acquisitions and the Company's investment in AMP.

Cash provided by operating activities of $1,195 million during 1998 decreased by
$111 million compared with 1997 as higher net income was more than offset by the
increase in net taxes paid on sales of businesses, primarily related to prior
year divestitures.
Cash used for investing activities was $1,079 million during 1998 compared with
$1,283 million during 1997. The Company spent $322 million for acquisitions in
1998, a decrease of $896 million compared with 1997. The significant
acquisitions are discussed in detail in Note 2 of Notes to Financial Statements.
In 1998, the Company was unsuccessful in its effort to acquire AMP, a
manufacturer of electrical connection devices. In connection with this
transaction, the Company acquired approximately a 9% interest in AMP for $890
million. The fair market value of this investment at December 31, 1998 was
$1,041 million. In 1998, the Company received proceeds of $306 million from the
sales of certain non-strategic businesses and other assets. In 1997, the Company
disposed of its safety restraints business for $710 million in cash. See Note 4
of Notes to Financial Statements for further information. In 1998, the Company
also liquidated short-term investments of $430 million principally to fund
acquisitions and repurchases of the Company's common stock.
The Company continuously assesses the relative strength of each business in its
portfolio as to strategic fit, market position and profit contribution in order
to upgrade its combined portfolio and identify operating units that will most
benefit from increased investment. The Company identifies acquisition candidates
that will further its strategic plan and strengthen its existing core
businesses. The Company also identifies operating units that do not fit into its
long-term strategic plan based on their market position, relative profitability
or growth potential. These operating units are considered for potential
divestiture, restructuring or other repositioning actions.
Capital expenditures during 1998 were $684 million, a decrease of $33 million
from the $717 million spent in 1997, primarily due to the divestiture of the
safety restraints business. Spending by the segments and Corporate since 1996 is
shown in Note 23 of Notes to Financial Statements. The Company's total capital
expenditures in 1999 are currently projected at approximately $670 million.
These expenditures are expected to be financed principally by internally
generated funds. Approximately 56% of the projected 1999 expenditures are
<PAGE>
planned for expansion and cost reduction, 35% for replacement and maintenance
and 9% for environmental projects.
Cash used for financing activities was $15 million during 1998 compared with
$877 million during 1997. Total debt at year-end 1998 of $3,487 million
increased by $1,180 million. Long-term debt increased by $261 million during
1998. The increase in total debt resulted principally from acquisitions, common
stock repurchases and the investment in AMP. The Company's total debt as a
percent of capital was 36.7% at year-end 1998, up from 31.7% at year-end 1997.
Long-term debt as a percent of capital was 19.7% at both December 31, 1998 and
1997.
The Company maintains two bank revolving credit facilities: (a) a $750 million
Five-Year Credit Agreement and (b) a $900 million 364-Day Backstop Credit
Agreement. The $750 million Five-Year Credit Agreement supports the issuance of
commercial paper for normal working capital purposes and the $900 million
364-Day Backstop Credit Agreement was established in 1998 to support the
issuance of commercial paper used to finance the investment in AMP and for any
other general corporate purpose. There was $1,773 and $821 million of commercial
paper outstanding at year-end 1998 and 1997, respectively. Commercial paper
borrowing reached a high of $2,059 million during 1998. See Note 15 of Notes to
Financial Statements for details of long-term debt and the credit agreements.
Shares of the Company's common stock are repurchased under a program to offset
the dilution created by shares issued under employee benefit plans, a shareowner
dividend reinvestment plan and for acquisitions. In May 1998, the Company
announced a new program to repurchase up to $2.2 billion of its common stock
over the next two years, including share repurchases under the program to offset
dilution. In 1998, the Company repurchased 22.0 million shares of its common
stock under both of these programs for $942 million. At December 31, 1998, the
Company was authorized to repurchase 57.6 million additional shares of its
common stock.
The Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend increase of 13.3%, from
$0.15 to $0.17 per share. The dividend increase will be effective with the first
quarter of 1999.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
The Company is subject to various federal, state and local government
requirements relating to the protection of the environment. The Company believes
that, as a general matter, its policies, practices and procedures are properly
designed to prevent unreasonable risk of environmental damage and that its
handling, manufacture, use and disposal of hazardous or toxic substances are in
accord with environmental laws and regulations. However, mainly because of past
operations and operations of predecessor companies, the Company, like other
companies engaged in similar businesses, is a party to lawsuits and claims and
has incurred remedial response and voluntary cleanup costs associated with
environmental matters. Additional lawsuits, claims and costs involving
environmental matters are likely to continue to arise in the future. The Company
continually conducts studies, individually at Company-owned sites, and jointly
as a member of industry groups at non-owned sites, to determine the feasibility
of various remedial techniques to address environmental matters. It is the
Company's policy to record appropriate liabilities for such matters when
environmental assessments are made or remedial efforts are probable and the
costs can be reasonably estimated. The timing of these accruals is generally no
later than the completion of feasibility studies.
Remedial response and voluntary cleanup expenditures were $74 and $90 million in
1998 and 1997, respectively, and are currently estimated to be approximately $75
million in 1999. The Company expects it will be able to fund such future
expenditures from operating cash flow. The timing of expenditures depends on a
number of factors, including regulatory approval of cleanup projects, remedial
techniques to be utilized and agreements with other parties.
At December 31, 1998, the recorded liability for environmental matters was $372
million. In addition, in 1998 the Company incurred operating costs for ongoing
businesses of approximately $70 million and capital expenditures of $52 million
relating to compliance with environmental regulations.
Although the Company does not currently possess sufficient information to
reasonably estimate the amounts of liabilities to be recorded upon future
completion of studies or settlements, and neither the timing nor the amount of
the ultimate costs associated with environmental matters can be determined, they
may be significant to the Company's consolidated results of operations.
Management does not expect that envi-
<PAGE>
ronmental matters will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated
financial position of the Company.
See Note 20 of Notes to Financial Statements for a discussion of the Company's
commitments and contingencies, including those related to environmental matters.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company, as a result of its global operating and financing activities, is
exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates and foreign currency
exchange rates which may adversely affect its results of operations and
financial position. The Company seeks to minimize the risks from these interest
rate and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations through its normal
operating and financing activities and, when deemed appropriate, through the use
of derivative financial instruments. The Company does not use financial
instruments for trading or other speculative purposes and does not use leveraged
derivative financial instruments. A discussion of the Company's accounting
policies for derivative financial instruments is included in Note 1 of Notes to
Financial Statements.
The Company's exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates
primarily to the Company's long-term debt obligations. As described in Notes 15
and 17 of Notes to the Financial Statements, the Company issues both fixed and
variable rate debt and uses interest rate swaps to manage the Company's exposure
to interest rate movements and reduce borrowing costs.
The Company's exposure to market risk for changes in foreign currency exchange
rates arises from intercompany loans utilized to finance foreign subsidiaries,
receivables, payables, and firm commitments arising from international
transactions. The Company attempts to have all such transaction exposures hedged
with internal natural offsets to the fullest extent possible and, once these
opportunities have been exhausted, through derivative financial instruments with
third parties using forward or option agreements. The Company also uses
derivative financial instruments to hedge the Company's exposure to changes in
exchange rates for the translated U.S. dollar value of the net income of a
number of foreign subsidiaries. Forward and option agreements used to hedge net
income are marked to market, with gains or losses recognized immediately in
income. The Company's principal foreign currency exposures relate to the French
franc, the German mark, the British pound and the U.S. dollar. At December 31,
1998, the Company held or had written foreign currency forward and option
agreements, maturing through 2002. The Company writes foreign currency options
only in combination with purchased options as an integral transaction and
economic alternative to using forward agreements.
Financial instruments expose the Company to counterparty credit risk for
nonperformance and to market risk for changes in interest and currency rates.
The Company manages exposure to counterparty credit risk through specific
minimum credit standards, diversification of counterparties and procedures to
monitor concentrations of credit risk. The Company's derivative instrument
counterparties are substantial investment and commercial banks with significant
experience using such derivative instruments. The Company monitors the impact of
market risk on the fair value and cash flows of its derivative and other
instruments considering reasonably possible changes in interest and currency
rates. The
22
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Company manages market risk by restricting the use of derivative financial
instruments to hedging activities and by limiting potential interest and
currency rate exposures to amounts that are not material to the Company's
consolidated results of operations and cash flows.
The Company owns approximately 9% of the outstanding common shares of AMP and
classifies this investment as an available-for-sale security, which is carried
at its quoted market value. At December 31, 1998, the carrying and fair value of
this investment was $1,041 million. A 10% decrease in the value of AMP common
stock at December 31, 1998 would result in a $104 million decrease in fair
value.
The following table illustrates the potential change in fair value for interest
rate sensitive instruments based on a hypothetical immediate one percentage
point increase in interest rates across all maturities and the potential change
in fair value for foreign exchange rate sensitive instruments based on a 10%
increase in U.S. dollar per local currency exchange rates across all maturities
at December 31, 1998 and 1997: (dollars in millions)

The above discussion of the Company's procedures to monitor market risk and the
estimated changes in fair value resulting from the Company's sensitivity
analyses are forward-looking statements of market risk assuming certain adverse
market conditions occur. Actual results in the future may differ materially from
these estimated results due to actual developments in the global financial
markets. The methods used by the Company to assess and mitigate risk discussed
above should not be considered projections of future events.

OTHER MATTERS
YEAR 2000
Computer programs and embedded computer chips that are not Year 2000 compliant
are unable to distinguish between the calendar year 1900 and the calendar year
2000. The Company recognizes the need to ensure that its business operations
will not be adversely affected by the upcoming calendar year 2000 and is
cognizant of the time sensitive nature of the Year 2000 problem.
The Company assessed how it may be impacted by the Year 2000 problem and is
implementing a comprehensive plan to address all known aspects of the Year 2000
problem: information systems (both critical information systems, the failure of
which could have a material effect on the Company's operations and noncritical
information systems), production and facilities equipment, products, customers
and suppliers (both high-impact suppliers, suppliers who would materially impact
the Company's operations if they were unable to provide supplies or services on
a timely basis, and other suppliers).
The Company completed an inventory of and assessed the impact of the Year 2000
problem with respect to its information systems, production and facilities
equipment, products, customers and suppliers. Based on the results of the
assessment, the Company prioritized the various projects to remedy potential
Year 2000 problems. The Company is developing and implementing plans to
remediate known Year 2000 problems. Testing to ensure that the remediation is
successfully completed is part of the remediation process. The Company expects
to develop in the first quarter of 1999 contingency plans and trained specialist
teams to implement such contingency plans to address any Year 2000 problems
which are unexpected or are not remedied in a timely manner under the Company's
remediation plans.
The following table sets forth the estimated dates for substantially completing
assessment, development of remediation plans and remediation with respect to the
various aspects of the Year 2000 problem:

The remediation plans for information systems involve a combination of software
modifications, upgrades and replacements. The remediation plans for production
and facilities equipment involve a combination of software or hardware
modifications, upgrades and replacements, or changes to operating procedures to
circumvent equipment failures caused by the Year 2000 problem. The remediation
plans for products involve modifying software and/or hardware contained in
products, or issuing service letters or other industry standard communications
providing customers with
23
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
instructions on correcting Year 2000 issues in the Company's products. The
remediation plans for suppliers (including financial institutions, governmental
agencies and public utilities) and customers involve obtaining information about
their Year 2000 programs through surveys, meetings and other communication, the
evaluation of the information received and the development of appropriate
responses. While the Company expects that development of remediation plans and
remediation with respect to suppliers and customers will be completed by the
dates set forth in the table above, the Company can provide no assurance that
the Year 2000 problem will be successfully corrected by suppliers and customers
in a timely manner.
The Company's estimate of the total cost for Year 2000 compliance is
approximately $150 million, of which approximately $95 million has been incurred
through December 31, 1998. The estimated cost of $150 million includes an
estimated $130 million for assessment, planning and remediation activities which
are expected to be substantially completed in the first half of 1999 and an
estimated $20 million for monitoring of remediation which has been completed and
the development of and preparation for contingency plans which will be expended
primarily during 1999. These estimates do not include the Company's potential
share of costs for Year 2000 issues by partnerships and joint ventures in which
the Company participates but is not the operator. Incremental spending has not
been and is not expected to be material because most Year 2000 compliance costs
will be met with amounts that are normally budgeted for procurement and
maintenance of the Company's information systems and production and facilities
equipment. The redirection of spending from procurement of information systems
and production and facilities equipment to implementation of Year 2000
compliance plans may in some instances delay productivity improvements.
The Company believes that the Year 2000 issue will not cause material
operational problems for the Company. However, if the Company is not successful
in identifying all material Year 2000 problems, or the assessment and
remediation of identified Year 2000 problems is not completed in a timely
manner, there may be an interruption in, or failure of, certain normal business
activities or operations. Such interruptions or failures could have a material
adverse impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations and financial
position or on its relationships with customers, suppliers or others.
EURO CONVERSION
On January 1, 1999, certain member countries of the European Union established
fixed conversion rates between their existing currencies and the European
Union's common currency (Euro). The transition period for the introduction of
the Euro is between January 1, 1999 and January 1, 2002. The Company is
presently identifying and ensuring that all Euro conversion compliance issues
are addressed. Although the Company cannot predict the overall impact of the
Euro conversion at this time, the Company does not expect that the Euro
conversion will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated results of
operations.
<PAGE>
SALES TO THE U.S. GOVERNMENT
Sales to the U.S. Government, acting through its various departments and
agencies and through prime contractors, amounted to $1,891 and $1,851 million in
1998 and 1997, respectively. This included sales to the Department of Defense
(DoD), as a prime contractor and subcontractor, of $1,366 and $1,338 million in
1998 and 1997, respectively. Sales to the DoD accounted for 9% of the Company's
total net sales in both 1998 and 1997. The Company is affected by U.S.
Government budget constraints for defense and space programs. After years of
decline, however, total U.S. defense spending increased slightly in 1998 and is
expected to increase over the next several years.
BACKLOG
At December 31, 1998 and 1997, the Company had firm orders for its aerospace
products from the U.S. and foreign governments of $1,511 and $1,908 million,
respectively. Total backlog, including commercial contracts, at year-end 1998
and 1997 was $5,012 and $5,087 million, respectively. The Company anticipates
that approximately $3,553 million of the 1998 backlog will be filled in 1999.
INFLATION
Inflation has not been a significant factor for the Company for a number of
years. Cost increases for labor and material have generally been low, and any
impact has been offset by Six Sigma productivity enhancement programs.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
In 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities" (SFAS No. 133), effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15,
1999. SFAS No. 133 requires derivatives to be recorded on the balance sheet as
assets or liabilities, measured at fair value. Gains or losses resulting from
changes in values of derivatives would be accounted for depending on the use of
the derivative and whether it qualifies for hedge accounting. The Company is
completing an analysis of SFAS No. 133, which is not expected to have a material
impact on the Company's results of operations or financial position.
1997 COMPARED WITH 1996
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net sales in 1997 were $14,472 million, an increase of $501 million, or 4%,
compared with 1996. Of this increase, $1,178 million was due to volume gains and
$482 million was from acquisitions, offset in part by a $744 million reduction
for divested businesses, mainly the safety restraints and braking businesses.
The impact of foreign exchange reduced net sales by $238 million and selling
prices were lower by $177 million.
Cost of goods sold as a percent of net sales was 79.3% in 1997 compared with
83.1% in 1996. Included in 1997 and 1996 are repositioning and other charges
(special charges) totaling $237 and $637 million, respectively. See Note 3 of
Notes to Financial Statements for further information. Excluding these special
charges, 1997 cost of goods sold as a percent of net sales was 77.7%, a decrease
compared with 78.5% in 1996 due in part to Six Sigma programs to lower
24
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
manufacturing and material costs and the improved mix of higher-margin
businesses.
Gain on sale of strategic business units reflects the 1997 pretax gain of $226
million, comprised of a $277 million gain on the sale of the safety restraints
business, partially offset by a charge of $51 million related to the settlement
of the 1996 sale of the braking business. The 1996 pretax gain of $655 million
resulted from the sale of the braking business. See Note 4 of Notes to Financial
Statements for further information.
Income from operations of $1,636 million in 1997 improved by $127 million, or
8%, compared with 1996. Income from operations in both 1997 and 1996 includes
pretax gains on the sales of strategic business units as well as special charges
(special items). Excluding the impact of these special items, income from
operations improved by $156 million, or 10%. The Company's operating margin was
11.4% in 1997, compared with 10.7% in 1996. Income from operations is discussed
in detail by segment in the Review of Business Segments section below.
Equity in income of affiliated companies of $178 million increased by $35
million, or 24%, compared with 1996, mainly due to higher earnings from UOP,
partially offset by the writedown of an equity investment as part of the 1997
repositioning and other charges.
Other income (expense), $77 million income in 1997, decreased by $10 million, or
11%, compared with 1996 mainly due to increased minority interest, offset in
part by increased benefits from foreign exchange hedging.
Interest and other financial charges of $175 million in 1997 decreased by $11
million, or 6%, compared with 1996. This decrease results from lower tax
interest expense due to favorable settlements of worldwide tax audits, offset in
part by higher debt-related interest expense reflecting higher levels of debt.
The effective tax rate in 1997 was 31.8% compared with 34.3% in 1996. Adjusted
for special items in both years, the effective tax rate in 1997 was 33.0%
compared with 33.5% in 1996.
Net income in 1997 of $1,170 million, or $2.02 per share, was 15% higher than
1996 net income of $1,020 million, or $1.76 per share. Adjusted for special
items in both years, net income for 1997 was $1,166 million, or $2.01 per share,
an increase of 15% over 1996. The higher adjusted net income in 1997 was the
result of a substantial improvement in operating performance by Turbine
Technologies and Aerospace Systems and moderately higher earnings by Specialty
Chemicals & Electronic Solutions and Performance Polymers. Transportation
Products had significantly lower earnings.

=================================================
</TABLE>
Aerospace Systems sales of $4,117 million in 1997 increased by $482 million, or
13%, compared with 1996. Aerospace Equipment Systems sales were substantially
higher, driven by continued aftermarket strength and higher original-equipment
shipments of engine fuel systems, environmental control systems and aircraft
landing systems. The acquisition of Grimes also contributed to the sales
increase. Sales of Electronic & Avionics Systems were moderately higher
reflecting strong demand for flight management and safety avionics systems,
including strong shipments of enhanced ground proximity warning systems.
Electronic systems sales to the U.S. and foreign governments, however, were
lower, mainly at the communications and ocean systems businesses. Sales of
management and technical services to the U.S. Government were moderately higher.
Aerospace Systems income from operations of $608 million in 1997 improved by
$139 million, or 30%, from the 1996 income from operations. Aerospace Equipment
Systems income from operations was substantially higher due principally to
higher sales and productivity improvements. Electronic & Avionics Systems income
from operations was moderately higher reflecting increased demand, improved
manufacturing operations and material cost savings for flight safety avionics.
However, electronic systems had lower income from operations on reduced sales to
the U.S. and foreign governments at the communications and ocean systems
businesses.

</TABLE>
Specialty Chemicals & Electronic Solutions sales of $2,218 million in 1997 were
$101 million, or 5%, higher compared with 1996. Specialty Chemicals sales
increased moderately due to acquisitions and volume gains for chlorofluorocarbon
(CFC) replacement products, hydrofluoric acid, pharmaceuticals and industrial
specialties products. Pricing pressures and the strong U.S. dollar were partial
offsets. Sales for Electronic Materials improved slightly reflecting increased
demand for advanced microelectronic materials and improvement in the printed
circuit board industry. Sales of amorphous metals, however, were lower.
Specialty Chemicals & Electronic Solutions income from operations of $326
million in 1997 decreased by $29 million, or 8%, from the 1996 income from
operations. Specialty Chemicals had lower income from operations driven
25
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
principally by pricing pressures in the fluorines business. Electronic Materials
also had lower income from operations due principally to pricing pressures and
poor results in the European laminates business. This was partially offset by an
increase in income from operations for advanced microelectronic materials and
the absence of operating losses from the micro-optic devices business.

Turbocharging Systems sales were also significantly higher, primarily reflecting
the flow of new products and the increasing popularity of turbocharged vehicles
in Europe.
Turbine Technologies income from operations of $401 million in 1997 improved by
$137 million, or 52%, from the 1996 income from operations. Both Engines and

for engineering plastics, chemical intermediates and specialty films. Lower
sales of carpet fibers and industrial polyester, mainly as a result of reduced
selling prices and the strong U.S. dollar, were partial offsets.
Performance Polymers income from operations of $215 million in 1997 increased by
$4 million, or 2%, from the 1996 income from operations. Income from operations
from chemical intermediates, engineering plastics and specialty films was higher
due to increased sales. This was largely offset by lower income from operations
from carpet fibers, industrial polyester and industrial nylon due to higher raw
material costs and lower selling prices.

</TABLE>
Transportation Products sales of $2,983 million in 1997 were $556 million, or
16%, lower compared with 1996 reflecting the disposition of the braking and
safety restraints businesses. Excluding these businesses, Transportation
Products sales increased 9%. Truck Brake Systems improved significantly,
benefiting from an upturn in truck builds and increased installation rates of
ABS. The Consumer Products Group sales were moderately higher reflecting the
acquisitions of Prestone and Holt Lloyd, both suppliers of car care products.
Lower sales of other aftermarket products, reflecting in part unfavorable market
conditions, were a partial offset. Friction Materials sales were also lower.
Transportation Products income from operations of $194 million in 1997 declined
by $86 million, or 31%, from the 1996 income from operations. The decrease
reflects the absence of income from operations from the divested braking and
safety restraints businesses. Income from operations from the Consumer Products
Group decreased substantially, primarily in the North American aftermarket
business. Income from operations from Truck Brake Systems was substantially
higher due principally to strong sales volume.
FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Total assets at December 31, 1997 were $13,707 million, an increase of $878
million, or 7%, from December 31, 1996. The increase mainly results from
acquisitions.
Cash provided by operating activities of $1,306 million during 1997 increased by
$110 million compared with 1996 principally due to the increase in net income.
Cash used for investing activities was $1,283 million during 1997 compared with
cash provided by investing activities of $273 million during 1996. During 1997,
the Company spent $1.2 billion on acquisitions, an increase of $1.1 billion
compared with 1996. The significant acquisitions are discussed in detail in Note
2 of Notes to Financial Statements. During 1997 the Company also disposed of its
safety restraints business for $710 million in cash. In 1996, the Company sold
its braking business for $1.5 billion in cash, subject to certain post closing
adjustments which were finalized in 1997. See Note 4 of Notes to Financial
Statements for further information. During 1997, the Company also sold certain
non-strategic businesses and other assets.
Capital expenditures during 1997 were $717 million, a decrease of $38 million
from the $755 million spent in 1996. Spending by the segments and Corporate
since 1996 is shown in Note 23 of Notes to Financial Statements.

<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Cash used for financing activities was $877 million during 1997 compared with
$544 million during 1996. Total debt at year-end 1997 of $2,307 million
increased $376 million. The increase resulted principally from debt assumed in
the Astor, Grimes and Prestone acquisitions and to fund common stock repurchases
during the year. Long-term debt was reduced by $102 million during 1997. The
Company's total debt as a percent of capital was 31.7% at December 31, 1997, up
from 29.5% at year-end 1996. Long-term debt as a percent of capital was 19.7% at
year-end 1997, down from 22.2% at year-end 1996.
The maximum amount of borrowing available under the Company's revolving credit
agreement was $750 million. The Credit Agreement supports the issuance of
commercial paper. There was $821 and $470 million of commercial paper
outstanding at year-end 1997 and 1996, respectively. Commercial paper borrowing
reached a high of $1,546 million during 1997. See Note 15 of Notes to Financial
Statements for details of long-term debt and a discussion of the Credit
Agreement.
Shares of the Company's common stock are repurchased under a program to offset
the dilution created by shares issued under employee benefit plans, a shareowner
dividend reinvestment plan and for acquisitions. In 1997, the Company
repurchased 21.0 million shares of its common stock under this program for $814
million.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
Remedial response and voluntary cleanup expenditures were $90 and $87 million in
1997 and 1996, respectively. At December 31, 1997, the recorded liability for
environmental matters was $414 million. In addition, in 1997 the Company
incurred operating costs for ongoing businesses of approximately $70 million and
capital expenditures of $69 million relating to compliance with environmental
regulations.
OTHER MATTERS
SALES TO THE U.S. GOVERNMENT
Sales to the U.S. Government, acting through its various departments and
agencies and through prime contractors, amounted to $1,851 and $1,833 million in
1997 and 1996, respectively. This included sales to the DoD, as a prime
contractor and subcontractor, of $1,338 and $1,237 million in 1997 and 1996,
respectively. Sales to the DoD accounted for 9% of the Company's total net sales
in both 1997 and 1996.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AlliedSignal Inc. (dollars in millions except per share amounts)
NOTE 1
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION AND USE OF ESTIMATES -- The consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of AlliedSignal Inc. and its majority-owned
subsidiaries. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial
statements and related disclosures in the accompanying notes. Actual results
could differ from those estimates. Certain reclassifications were made to prior
year amounts to conform with the 1998 presentation.
INVENTORIES -- Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market using the
last-in, first-out (LIFO) method for certain qualifying domestic inventories and
the first-in, first-out (FIFO) or the average cost method for all other
inventories.
INVESTMENTS -- Investments are carried at market value, if readily determinable,
or cost. Investments in affiliates over which significant influence is exercised
are accounted for using the equity method of accounting.
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT -- Property, plant and equipment are carried at
cost and are generally depreciated using estimated service lives, which range
from 3 to 40 years. For the financial statements, depreciation is computed
principally on the straight-line method.
COST IN EXCESS OF NET ASSETS OF ACQUIRED COMPANIES -- Cost in excess of net
assets of acquired companies (goodwill) is amortized on a straight-line basis
over appropriate periods up to 40 years. Goodwill is periodically reviewed to
determine recoverability based on expected future cash flows. The cumulative
amount of goodwill amortized at December 31, 1998 and 1997 is $559 and $476
million, respectively.
REVENUE RECOGNITION -- Recognition of contract revenues relates primarily to the
Aerospace Systems and Turbine Technologies segments. Under fixed-price
contracts, sales and related costs are recorded as deliveries are made. Sales
and related costs under cost-reimbursable contracts are recorded as costs are
incurred. Anticipated losses on contracts are charged to income when identified.
Contracts that are part of a program are evaluated on an overall program basis.
ENVIRONMENTAL EXPENDITURES --Environmental expenditures that relate to current
operations are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures that relate
to an existing condition caused by past operations, and that do not contribute
to current or future revenue generation, are expensed. Liabilities are recorded
when environmental assessments are made or remedial efforts are probable and the
costs can be reasonably estimated. The timing of these accruals is generally no
later than the completion of feasibility studies. The liabilities for
environmental costs recorded in Accrued Liabilities and Other Liabilities at
December 31, 1998 and 1997 were $111 and $261 million and $110 and $304 million,
respectively.
<PAGE>
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS -- Interest rate swap, foreign currency forward and option
agreements are accounted for as a hedge of the related asset, liability, firm
commitment or anticipated transaction when designated and effective as a hedge
of such items. Agreements qualifying for hedge accounting are accounted for as
follows:
> Changes in the amount to be received or paid under interest rate swap
agreements are recognized in Interest and Other Financial Charges.
> Gains and losses on foreign currency forward agreements and combination
options (options purchased and written as a unit) used to hedge assets and
liabilities, or net investments in foreign subsidiaries, are recognized in
Other Income (Expense) and cumulative foreign exchange translation adjustment,
respectively.
> Gains and losses on foreign currency forward agreements used to hedge firm
foreign currency commitments, and purchased foreign currency options used to
hedge anticipated foreign currency transactions, are recognized in the
measurement of the hedged transaction when the transaction occurs.
Changes in the fair value of agreements not qualifying for hedge accounting are
recognized in Other Income (Expense).
The carrying value of each agreement is reported in Accounts and Notes
Receivable, Other Current Assets, Accounts Payable or Accrued Liabilities, as
appropriate.
INCOME TAXES -- Deferred tax liabilities or assets reflect temporary differences
between amounts of assets and liabilities for financial and tax reporting. Such
amounts are adjusted, as appropriate, to reflect changes in tax rates expected
to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse. A valuation allowance is
established for any deferred tax asset for which realization is not likely.
EARNINGS PER SHARE -- Effective December 31, 1997, the Company adopted Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share" (SFAS No. 128),
which requires the Company to report both basic earnings per share (based on the
weighted-average number of common shares outstanding) and diluted earnings per
share (based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and all
dilutive potential common shares outstanding). All earnings per share data in
this report reflect earnings per share -- assuming dilution, unless otherwise
indicated.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS -- Effective January 1, 1998, the
Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income" (SFAS No. 130), which establishes standards for the
reporting and presentation of changes in equity from nonowner sources in the
financial statements. Nonowner changes in shareowners' equity consists of net
income, foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized holding gains
and losses on marketable securities and, as permitted under the provisions of
SFAS No. 130, are presented in the Consolidated Statement of Shareowners'
Equity. Prior year

Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information" (SFAS No. 131), which establishes standards for reporting
information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires
that selected information about operating segments be reported in interim
financial statements. It also establishes standards for related disclosures
about products and services, geographic areas and major customers. The adoption
of SFAS No. 131 increased the number and changed the composition of the
Company's reportable operating segments. Prior year financial statements have
been reclassified to conform to the SFAS No. 131 requirements. See Notes 23 and
24.
Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other
Postretirement Benefits" (SFAS No. 132), which standardizes the disclosure
requirements for pensions and other postretirement benefits to the extent
practical, requires additional information on changes in the benefit obligations
and fair values of plan assets and eliminates certain disclosures. Prior year
financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the SFAS No. 132
requirements. See Note 21.
NOTE 2
ACQUISITIONS
In 1998, the Company acquired substantially all the assets of Banner Aerospace
(Banner), distributors of FAA-certified aircraft hardware, for common stock
valued at approximately $350 million. Banner has annual sales of approximately
$250 million, principally to commercial air transport and general aviation
customers. The Company also acquired Pharmaceutical Fine Chemicals S.A. (PFC)
for approximately $390 million, including assumed liabilities. PFC manufactures
and distributes active and intermediate pharmaceutical chemicals and had sales
of approximately $110 million in 1997.
<PAGE>
In 1997, the Company acquired Prestone Products Corporation (Prestone) for
approximately $400 million, including assumed liabilities. Prestone is a
supplier of car care products and had annual sales of approximately $300
million. The Company also acquired Grimes Aerospace Company (Grimes), a
manufacturer of exterior and interior aircraft lighting systems, for
approximately $475 million, including assumed liabilities. Grimes, which had
annual sales of approximately $230 million, also manufactures aircraft engine
components such as valves and heat exchangers, as well as electronic systems,
including flight warning computers and active matrix liquid crystal displays. In
addition, the Company acquired Astor Holdings, Inc. (Astor) for approximately
$370 million, including assumed liabilities. Astor, a producer of value-added,
wax-based processing aids, sealants and adhesives, had annual sales of
approximately $300 million. The Company also acquired Holt Lloyd Group Ltd. for
approximately $150 million. Holt Lloyd is a supplier of car care products
primarily in Europe and Asia and had annual sales of approximately $150 million.
The Company also made other smaller acquisitions in 1998, 1997 and 1996.
NOTE 3
REPOSITIONING AND OTHER CHARGES
In the fourth quarter of 1997, the Company recorded a pretax charge of $124
million related to the costs to eliminate its three sector offices, consolidate
its Consumer Products Group and reposition some of its businesses. These actions
enhanced the Company's competitiveness and productivity. The components of this
charge included severance costs of $59 million, asset writedowns of $34 million
and other exit costs of $31 million. All of the actions were substantially
completed in 1998. The Company also recorded other charges in the fourth quarter
of 1997, including $40 million related to the write-off of capitalized business
process reengineering costs associated with information technology projects as
required by Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 97-13 and other items
consisting of asset impairments, customer claims and legal settlements.
Repositioning and other charges totaling $237 million were included as part of
Cost of Goods Sold for 1997. Equity in Income of Affiliated Companies included a
charge of $13 million related to the writedown of an equity investment. The
total pretax impact of the repositioning and other charges for 1997 was $250
million (after-tax $159 million, or $0.27 per share).
In the second quarter of 1996, the Company recorded a pretax charge of $277
million related to the costs of actions to reposition some of its businesses.
The repositioning actions enhanced the Company's competitiveness and
productivity and included consolidating production facilities, rationalizing
manufacturing capacity and optimizing operational capabilities. The components
of the repositioning charge included asset writedowns of $136 million, severance
costs of $127 million and other exit costs of $14 million. The repositioning
actions were completed in 1998.
Also, in the second quarter of 1996, the Company adopted the provisions of the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants' Statement of Position 96-1,
"Environmental Remediation Liabilities" (SOP 96-1). SOP 96-1 provides additional
guidance regarding the manner in which existing authoritative accounting
literature is to be applied to the specific circumstances of recognizing,
measuring and disclosing environmental remediation liabilities. The adoption of
SOP 96-1 resulted in a pretax charge of $175 million and was accounted for as a
change in estimate. The Company also
33

<PAGE>
recorded other charges primarily related to changes made in employee benefit
programs and in connection with customer and former employee claims.
Repositioning and other charges totaling $637 million were included as part of
Cost of Goods Sold for 1996. Other Income (Expense) for 1996 included a $15
million credit for repositioning and other charges representing the minority
interest share of such charges. The total pretax impact of the repositioning and
other charges for 1996 was $622 million (after-tax $359 million, or $0.62 per
share).
NOTE 4
GAIN ON SALE OF STRATEGIC BUSINESS UNITS
In October 1997, the Company sold its automotive safety restraints business to
Breed Technologies for $710 million in cash. The safety restraints business had
1996 net sales and income from operations of $940 and $70 million, respectively.
The sale of the safety restraints business resulted in a pretax gain of $277
million (after-tax $196 million, including the benefit of capital losses, or
$0.34 per share). In addition, in 1997 the Company recorded a charge of $51
million (after-tax $33 million, or $0.06 per share) related to the settlement of
the 1996 sale of the automotive braking business.
In April 1996, the Company sold its braking business to Robert Bosch GmbH, a
privately-held German company. The braking business had 1995 net sales and
income from operations of $2.0 billion and $154 million, respectively. The sale
of the braking business resulted in a pretax gain of $655 million (after-tax
$368 million, or $0.63 per share). The Company received consideration of $1.5

The amount of federal tax net operating loss carryforwards available for 1998 is
$197 million. These loss carryforwards were generated by certain subsidiaries
prior to their acquisition in 1997 and have expiration dates through the year
2011. The use of pre-acquisition operating losses is subject to limitations
imposed by the Internal Revenue Code. The Company does not anticipate that these
limitations will affect utilization of the carryforwards prior to their
expiration. The Company also has foreign net operating losses of $429 million
which are available to reduce future income tax payments in several countries,
subject to varying expiration rules.
Deferred income taxes have not been provided on approximately $552 million of
undistributed earnings of foreign affiliated companies, which are considered to
be permanently reinvested. Any U.S. taxes payable on foreign earnings which may
be remitted, however, will be substantially offset by foreign tax credits.

The Company maintains two bank revolving credit facilities: (a) a $750 million
Five-Year Credit Agreement (Credit Agreement) with a group of 18 banks, dated as
of June 30, 1995, as amended June 28, 1996 and June 13, 1997 and (b) a $900
million 364-Day Backstop Credit Agreement (364-Day Credit Agreement) with a
group of 6 banks, dated as of October 7, 1998. The Credit Agreement was
established to
36
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
support the issuance of commercial paper for normal working capital purposes and
the 364-Day Credit Agreement was established to support the issuance of
commercial paper used to finance the acquisition of 20 million shares of common
stock of AMP Incorporated (AMP) and for any other general corporate purpose. The
Company had no balance outstanding under either agreement at December 31, 1998.
Both of the credit agreements do not restrict the Company's ability to pay
dividends; however, they do require the Company to maintain a minimum net worth
of $3.1 billion. The failure to comply with customary conditions or the
occurrence of customary events of default, contained in the credit agreements,
would prevent any further borrowings and would generally require the repayment
of any outstanding borrowings under such credit agreements. Such events of
default include (a) non-payment of credit agreement debt and interest thereon,
(b) non-compliance with the terms of the credit agreement covenants, (c)
cross-default with other debt in certain circumstances, (d) bankruptcy and (e)
defaults upon obligations under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act.
Additionally, each of the banks has the right to terminate its commitment to
lend under the credit agreements if any person or group acquires beneficial
ownership of 30% or more of the Company's voting stock or, during any 12-month
period, individuals who were directors of the Company at the beginning of the
period cease to constitute a majority of the Board of Directors (the Board).
Loans under the Credit Agreement are required to be repaid no later than June
30, 2002. The Company has agreed to pay a facility fee of 0.065% per annum on
the aggregate commitment for the Credit Agreement, subject to increase or
decrease in the event of changes in the Company's long-term debt ratings.
Interest on borrowings under the Credit Agreement would be determined, at the
Company's option, by (a) an auction bidding procedure; (b) the highest of the
floating base rate of the agent bank, 0.5% above the average CD rate, or 0.5%
above the Federal funds rate or (c) the average Eurocurrency rate of three
reference banks plus 0.135% (applicable margin). The applicable margin over the
Eurocurrency rate on the Credit Agreement is subject to increase or decrease if
the Company's long-term debt ratings change.
The commitments under the 364-Day Credit Agreement terminate on October 6, 1999.
Annually, prior to the Agreement's anniversary date, the Company may request
that the termination date of the 364-Day Credit Agreement be extended by another
year. Upon the termination date, the Company may request that any outstanding
loans be converted into a term loan maturing no later than the first anniversary
of the commitment termination date. The Company has agreed to pay a facility fee
of 0.055% per annum on the aggregate commitment for the 364-Day Credit
Agreement, subject to increase or decrease in the event of changes in the
Company's long-term debt ratings.
Interest on borrowings under the 364-Day Credit Agreement would be determined,
at the Company's option, by (a) an auction bidding procedure; (b) the highest of
the floating base rate of the agent bank, 0.5% above the average CD rate, or
0.5% above the Federal funds rate or (c) the average Eurocurrency rate of the
three reference banks plus 0.170% (applicable margin). Upon conversion of the
364-Day Credit Agreement to a term loan the applicable margin increases to
<PAGE>
0.225% (the facility fee is discontinued at the conversion date). The 364-Day
Credit Agreement is subject to utilization fees of up to 0.025% of borrowings.
The applicable margin over the Eurocurrency rate and the utilization fee on the
364-Day Credit Agreement are subject to increase or decrease if the Company's
long-term debt ratings change.

NOTE 17
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company, as a result of its global operating and financing activities, is
exposed to changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates which
may adversely affect its results of operations and financial position. In
seeking to minimize these market risks, the Company manages exposure to changes
in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates through its normal
operating and financing activities and, when deemed appropriate, through the use
of derivative financial instruments. The instruments utilized include forward,
option and swap agreements. The Company does not use financial instruments for
trading or other speculative purposes and does not use leveraged derivative
financial instruments.
At December 31, 1998 and 1997, interest rate swap agreements effectively changed
$300 million of fixed-rate debt at an average rate of 7.13% and 9.53%,
respectively, to U.S. commercial paper and London Interbank Offer Rate (LIBOR)
based floating rate debt with an average effective rate of 6.53% and 8.04%,
respectively. Based on its terms, one of these agreements will be terminated by
the counterparty if short-term interest rates drop below a predetermined level.
Other interest rate swaps at December 31, 1998 and 1997 effectively changed $150
and $58 million, respectively, of U.S. commercial paper and LIBOR based floating
rate debt at an average rate of 5.18% and 4.80%, respectively, to fixed rate
debt with an average effective rate of 6.25% and 6.81%, respectively. The
Company's interest rate swaps mature through the year 2008.
The Company's exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates arises from
intercompany loans utilized to finance foreign subsidiaries, receivables,
payables and firm commitments arising from international transactions. The
Company attempts to have all such transaction exposures hedged with internal
natural offsets to the fullest extent possible and, once these opportunities
have been exhausted,
37
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
through derivative financial instruments with third parties using forward or
option agreements. The Company also uses derivative financial instruments to
hedge the Company's exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates for
the translated U.S. dollar value of the net income of a number of foreign
subsidiaries. Forward and option agreements used to hedge net income are marked
to market, with gains or losses recognized immediately in income. The Company's
principal foreign currency exposures relate to the French franc, the German
mark, the British pound and the U.S. dollar. At December 31, 1998, the Company
held or had written foreign currency forward and option agreements maturing
through 2002. The Company writes foreign currency options only in combination
with purchased options as an integral transaction and economic alternative to
using forward agreements.
Financial instruments expose the Company to counterparty credit risk for
nonperformance and to market risk for changes in interest and currency rates.
The Company manages exposure to counterparty credit risk through specific
minimum credit standards, diversification of counterparties and procedures to
monitor concentrations of credit risk. The Company's derivative instrument
counterparties are substantial investment or commercial banks with significant
experience using such derivative instruments. The Company monitors the impact of
market risk on the fair value and cash flows of its derivative and other
instruments considering reasonably possible changes in interest and currency
rates. The Company manages market risk by restricting the use of derivative
financial instruments to hedging activities and by limiting potential interest
and currency rate exposures to amounts that are not material to the Company's
consolidated results of operations and cash flows.
The values of the Company's outstanding derivative financial instruments at
December 31, 1998 and 1997 are as follows:

NOTE 18
CAPITAL STOCK
The Company is authorized to issue up to 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock
without par value and may establish series of preferred stock having such number
of shares and such terms as it may determine.
The Company is authorized to issue up to 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock,
with a par value of one dollar. Common shareowners are entitled to receive such
dividends as may be declared by the Board, are entitled to one vote per share,
and are entitled, in the event of liquidation, to share ratably in all the
assets of the Company which are available for distribution to the common
shareowners. Common shareowners do not have preemptive or conversion rights.
Shares of common stock issued and outstanding or held in the treasury are not
liable to further calls or assessments. There is no restriction on dividends or
the repurchase or redemption of common stock by the Company. As of December 31,
1998, the Company has remaining authority to repurchase from time to time up to
57.6 million shares of common stock.
NOTE 19
STOCK OPTIONS AND AWARDS
The Company has a 1993 Stock Plan and a 1985 Stock Plan available to grant
incentive and non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights (SARs),
restricted shares and restricted units (Units) to officers and other employees.
The 1993 Stock Plan provides for the annual grant of awards in an amount not in
excess of 1.5% of the total shares issued (including shares held in treasury) as
of December 31 of the year preceding the year of the award. Any shares that are
available for awards that are not utilized in a given year will be available for
use in subsequent years. There were 11,181,184 and 10,468,811 shares available
for future grants under the terms of the Company's stock option plans at
December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Incentive stock options have a term
determined by the Management Development and Compensation Committee of the Board
(Committee), but not in excess of ten years from the date of grant.
Non-qualified stock options have been granted with terms of up to ten years and
one day. An option becomes exercisable at such times and in such installments as
set by the Committee. Options generally become exercisable over a three-year
period. SARs entitle an optionee to surrender unexercised stock options for cash
or stock equal to the excess of the fair market value of the surrendered shares
over the option value of such shares. Units have been granted to certain
employees, which entitle the holder to receive shares of common stock. At
December 31, 1998, there were 1,491,547 Units outstanding, including 277,471
Units granted in 1998, the restrictions on which generally lapse over periods
not exceeding ten years from date of grant. Compensation expense is recognized
over the restricted period.

prices of $17.08 and $15.14 at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
The Company accounts for stock compensation costs in accordance with the
provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees." Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for
its fixed stock option plans. The following table sets forth pro forma
information as if compensation cost for its fixed stock option plans had been
determined based on the fair value at the grant date for awards under the
Company's stock plans consistent with the requirements of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation."

The Company also has a Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors (Directors' Plan)
under which restricted shares and
<PAGE>
options are granted. New directors receive grants of 3,000 shares of common
stock, subject to certain restrictions. In addition, each director will be
granted an option to purchase 2,000 shares of common stock each year on the date
of the annual meeting of shareowners. The Company has set aside 450,000 shares
for issuance under the Directors' Plan. Options generally become exercisable
over a three-year period and have a term of ten years from the date of grant.
All options were granted at not less than fair market value at dates of grant.
Treasury shares of common stock have been used upon exercise of stock options.
Differences between the cost of treasury stock used and the total option price
of shares exercised have been reflected in Additional Paid-in Capital during
1998 and 1997 and in Retained Earnings in prior years.
NOTE 20
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company is subject to a number of lawsuits, investigations and claims (some
of which involve substantial amounts) arising out of the conduct of its
business.
In accordance with the Company's accounting policy (see Note 1), liabilities
are recorded for environmental matters generally no later than the completion of
feasibility studies. Although the Company does not currently possess sufficient
information to reasonably estimate the amounts of the liabilities to be recorded
upon future completion of studies, they may be significant to the consolidated
results of operations, but management does not expect that they will have a
material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position of the Company.
The Company holds an investment of 20 million shares of common stock of AMP
which was acquired in a cash tender offer in October 1998 at a price of $44.50
per share. Under Subchapter H of the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law, if
the Company realizes a profit on disposition of AMP stock prior to February
2000, such profit may be recovered by AMP. The Company intends to hold the AMP
stock for investment purposes. Tyco Industries Ltd. (Tyco) and AMP have signed a
merger agreement pursuant to which AMP is to merge into a subsidiary of Tyco.
AMP shareholders will be entitled to receive Tyco common stock under the terms
of the merger. The Company believes that the merger, if effected, would not
constitute a disposition of the Company's AMP stock for purposes of
Subchapter H.
With respect to all other matters, including those relating to commercial
transactions, government contracts, product liability and nonenvironmental
health and safety matters, while the ultimate results of these lawsuits,
investigations and claims cannot be determined, management does not expect that
these matters will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated results of
operations or financial position of the Company.
The Company has issued or is a party to various direct and indirect guarantees,
bank letters of credit and customer guarantees. Management does not expect these
guarantees will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated results of
operations or financial position of the Company.

Most of the U.S. retiree medical plans require deductibles and copayments and
virtually all are integrated with Medicare. Retiree contributions are generally
required based on coverage type, plan and Medicare eligibility. The retiree
medical plans are not funded. Claims and expenses are paid from the general
assets of the Company.
For most non-union employees retiring after July 1, 1992, the Company
implemented an approach which bases the Company's contribution to retiree
medical premiums on years of service and also establishes a maximum Company
contribution in the future at approximately twice the current level at the date
of implementation. Effective July 1, 1997, the Company adopted a plan amendment
that will encourage Medicare eligible non-union retirees to join Company
sponsored Medicare managed care programs.
For measurement purposes, the assumed annual rates of increase in the per capita
cost of covered health care benefits for 1998 were 6.50% for indemnity programs
and 6% to 8% for managed care programs, which reduce to 6% for all programs in
the year 2000 and remain at that level thereafter (except for Medicare managed
care programs which continue at 8%).
Assumed health care cost trend rates have a significant effect on the amounts
reported for the retiree medical plans. A one-percentage-point change in assumed
health care cost trend rates would have the following effects.
