SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

     Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires
Sundstrand's directors and officers to file reports with the Securities and
Exchange Commission and the New York Stock Exchange indicating their beneficial
ownership of Sundstrand's common stock.

     Based upon a review of forms that were received with respect to 1998,
Sundstrand believes that all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to its
directors and officers have been met, except that one late report on Form 4 was
filed by each of Charles Marshall covering the exercise of 1,500 stock options
issued to him under Sundstrand's Nonemployee Director Stock Option Plan, Klaus
H. Murmann covering the purchase of 8,700 shares of Sundstrand's common stock,
and Patrick L. Thomas covering the sale of 259 shares of Sundstrand's common
stock to meet tax withholding requirements with respect to a release of
restricted stock.


ITEM 11.  EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

     The Compensation Committee, with a membership of only nonemployee
directors, has been assigned the overall responsibility for the review,
modification and approval of the salary and other forms of compensation of the
executive officers of Sundstrand. This compensation includes, among other
things, restricted stock, restricted stock units, and options which may be
granted under stock programs.


COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY AND OBJECTIVES

The executive compensation program is designed to achieve the following:

     *   Attract, retain and motivate high quality executives and leaders on a
         long-term basis. One of the tools to achieve these goals is to provide
         Sundstrand officers with a compensation package that meets the
         competition in the marketplace. The Committee uses a selected peer
         group of companies to make that determination, and also takes into
         account the experience, responsibility and performance of the
         individual executive.

     *   Maintain an appropriate balance between base salary and short- and
         long-term incentive opportunities.

     *   Place a significant amount of compensation at risk at the higher
         executive levels. The Committee defines "at risk" to mean conditioning
         a portion of the incentive compensation of an executive on the
         financial results of Sundstrand as well as his or her independent
         performance as leader, team member and contributor to the attainment of
         those results in both a long- and near-term sense.

     *   Link the financial interests of executives with those of the
         stockholders through significant stock ownership.

     The peer group of companies consists of 22 corporations. Three of these
companies are in the Standard & Poor's Diversified Manufacturing Index and two
are in the Standard & Poor's Aerospace/Defense Index. These indices are
incorporated into the performance graph and table which appear under the heading
Performance Graph and Table.

     Sundstrand's executive compensation program is currently composed of the
following: (1) an annual base salary; (2) an annual cash bonus; (3) the annual
grant of restricted stock or restricted stock units and stock options; (4) a
general benefit package consisting of retirement benefits and life, medical and
disability insurance; and (5) personal benefits which include among other things
physical examinations, financial counseling, tax preparation and the use of
Sundstrand planes.

     The Committee has an established objective that, when compared with the
compensation paid by the peer group of companies, the base salary paid to
Sundstrand's executive officers shall be at the 60th percentile, with total cash
compensation (salary plus bonus) to be at the 75th percentile, with long-term
incentive compensation (restricted stock and stock option grants) to be at the
50th percentile, and with net total compensation to be at the 60th percentile.

ANNUAL COMPONENT

     BASE SALARY

     The Committee annually reviews the salary of each of Sundstrand's executive
officers. In December 1998 Sundstrand's chief executive officer reviewed with
the Committee each of the officers' performance, other than himself. He also
commented upon the appropriateness of the salary and bonus compensation being
paid to these officers. He discussed both the officers' performance and a
comparison with the salary and bonus paid by the peer group of companies, taking
into account the Committee's established objectives. Based on this review and
other criteria the Committee made various adjustments to the salary of each of
Sundstrand's executive officers.

     INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLANS

     If in the applicable year Sundstrand achieved at least a 12% return on
average total equity, Sundstrand's Officer Incentive Compensation Plan (the
"Bonus Plan") provides Sundstrand executive officers with the opportunity to
receive an annual cash bonus based upon the achievement by Sundstrand of
financial performance goals set by the Committee. The Committee determines the
performance elements, their relative weight, and the bonus value assigned for
various levels of element achievement. For each element the Committee sets a
threshold, target and maximum achievement level. If the threshold level for any
element is not achieved, no bonus can be earned with respect to that element. At
target, the bonus amount is 100% and at the maximum the bonus amount generally
is 160% of the target bonus amount. The target bonus amount under the Bonus Plan
for each officer is a percentage of such officer's base salary and varies from
30% to 100% based on the position held. For 1998 Mr. Jenkins had the highest
target potential at 100% of base salary. For 1999 there is no maximum
achievement level on bonuses other than the plan limit of $1.5 million.

     The Committee selected earnings per share, cash flow from operations after
capital expenditures and return on average total equity as the performance
elements upon which 1998 bonus compensation would be based, with one-half of the
bonus for Mr. Thomas and Mr. McKenna to be tied to similar performance elements
for the Industrial or Aerospace Segment of Sundstrand as applicable. The
elements were essentially equally weighted, and specific threshold, target and
maximum achievement levels were set.

     After the performance of Sundstrand for 1998 was determined (and after
adjustment for unusual and nonrecurring accounting issues), bonuses were
determined for each of the executive officers other than Mr. Jenkins based upon
the performance level achieved compared to the preestablished achievement
levels. Although the Committee may adjust the bonus amounts as calculated, it
did not elect to make any adjustments for 1998, other than for Mr. Jenkins,
allowing his bonus to be limited only by the plan limit of $1.5 million.

LONG-TERM COMPONENT

     STOCK OPTIONS AND RESTRICTED STOCK

     Sundstrand maintains stock plans under which the Committee may grant stock
options, restricted stock and restricted stock units to executive officers of
Sundstrand. The number of options, restricted shares and restricted stock units
granted to an officer each year will vary based upon the position the officer
holds and the officer's performance evaluation. Each year the Committee selects
a performance element and achievement level which must be reached for an award
of restricted stock and restricted stock units to be made. For 1998 the
performance element and achievement level were a 12% return on average total
equity.

     Stock options granted to an executive officer under Sundstrand Stock
Incentive Plan presently are granted at an exercise price equal to the fair
market value of a share of Sundstrand common stock on the date of grant, become
exercisable in increments of 25% on each of the second through fifth anniversary
dates of the grant, and generally remain exercisable until the tenth anniversary
date of the grant. Grants of restricted stock and restricted stock units are
without cost to the executive officer and vest in increments of 20% per year in
each of the fifth through ninth anniversary dates of the grant. A restricted
stock unit entitles the executive officer to receive a share of Sundstrand
common stock upon vesting of the unit.

     In December 1998, the Committee awarded both stock options and restricted
stock units to Sundstrand's executive 


                                     Page 5


<PAGE>   6



officers. The size of the restricted stock unit awards generally was consistent
with the Committee's objectives for long-term incentive compensation and took
into account the anticipated record sales and earnings for Sundstrand for 1998
as well as the officer's performance evaluation.

BENEFIT COMPONENT

     The Committee annually reviews with Sundstrand's chief executive officer
the general and personal benefits available to the executive officers and makes
recommendations as to the appropriateness of this compensation. The Committee
determined that the level of general and personal benefits is consistent with
the Committee's objectives and accordingly for 1998 did not recommend any
changes.

COMPENSATION OF CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

     During the officer performance evaluation and the review of compensation of
the peer group of companies made by the Committee at its December, 1998,
meeting, the Committee decided to increase Mr. Jenkins' salary from $700,000 to
$750,000 since it was determined to be below the Committee's objective that his
salary should be at the 60th percentile for the peer group of companies and to
reflect his role in leading Sundstrand to the achievement of record sales and
earnings.

     The cash bonus earned by Mr. Jenkins during 1998 was $1.5 million. This
amount was determined in part based upon Sundstrand's financial performance as
compared to the preestablished achievement levels for 1998 as discussed under
the heading "Incentive Compensation Plans." Since Sundstrand's performance in
1998, when compared to the selected preestablished achievement levels was well
above target, Mr. Jenkins' bonus was set at the maximum permitted under the
plan. Mr. Jenkins' opportunity level for 1998 was 100% of base salary at the
target level. At the Committee's December, 1998, meeting, it was decided that
the opportunity level for 1999 for Mr. Jenkins will continue at 100% of base
salary at the target level, with the maximum, as previously indicated, being
limited only by the plan limit of $1.5 million.

     The Committee, as part of its compensation review in December 1998, granted
to Mr. Jenkins 20,000 restricted stock units and 60,000 options, which options
have a purchase price of $50.5938 per share representing the fair market value
at the date of grant. In making these grants, the Committee considered
Sundstrand's favorable performance compared to objectives established with Mr.
Jenkins early in the year and Mr. Jenkins' role in leading Sundstrand to the
achievement of record sales and earnings. In addition, the Committee determined
that these grants were consistent with its objectives for the level of long-term
incentives granted to Sundstrand's chief executive officer as compared to the
chief executive officers of the selected peer group of companies.

AGGREGATED OPTION EXERCISES IN LAST FISCAL YEAR AND FISCAL YEAR-END OPTION
VALUES

     The following table sets forth information on the exercise of stock options
by the named executive officers in 1998, the number of options which were
exercisable and nonexercisable in 1998, and the value of these options based
upon the difference between the exercise price and the market price of the
underlying shares of Sundstrand common stock as of December 31, 1998. The actual
value before tax will be the excess of the market price of Sundstrand common
stock over the exercise price at the time of exercise. There is no assurance
that the values shown in the table will be realized.

OPTION GRANTS IN LAST FISCAL YEAR

     The following table sets forth the 1998 grants of nonqualified stock
options under the Sundstrand Stock Incentive Plan to named executive officers.
The hypothetical present values on the date of grant shown for stock options
granted in 1998 are calculated under the Black-Scholes model for pricing
options. The actual value before tax will be the excess of the market price of
the Sundstrand common stock at the time of exercise over the grant price. There
is no assurance that the present value shown in the table will be realized.

(1)  Options become exercisable at a rate of 25% of each grant on the second
     through fifth anniversary dates of the date of grant, provided that if a
     Change in Control occurs as defined under the heading Employment
     Agreements, they will become immediately exercisable.

(2)  The values are based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which is a
     mathematical formula used to value options traded on stock exchanges.
     Factors used to value the options granted on December 8, 1998, include a
     capital expected volatility rate of 22.3%, a risk-free rate of return based
     upon a ten year zero-coupon Treasury bond at 4.60%, a dividend yield of
     1.3%, a projected time of exercise of seven years and a forfeiture rate of
     3%.


RETIREMENT PLANS

     Generally, the retirement benefit to which an executive officer will be
entitled upon retirement is provided under the tax-qualified Sundstrand
Corporation Retirement Plan-Aerospace (the "Retirement Plan") and Sundstrand's
non-tax-qualified Supplemental Retirement Plan (the "Supplemental Retirement
Plan"). The eligibility for both plans is the same. The Supplemental Retirement
Plan provides a lump sum option for the total benefit accrued under that plan,
while the Retirement Plan provides a lump sum option for the portion of the
benefit accrued under that plan prior to December 31, 1991.

     The following table sets forth estimated annual retirement benefits for
representative years of service and three-year average annual earnings amounts.

</TABLE>

     The combined amounts shown in the "Salary" and "Bonus" columns of the table
under "Summary Compensation Table" are expected to approximate the three-year
average annual earnings of an executive officer that would be used to determine
his total retirement benefit under the Retirement Plan and the Supplemental
Retirement Plan.

     Messrs. Jenkins, McKenna, Thomas, Donovan and Fellows, upon attainment of
age 65, the normal retirement age under the plans, will have 12.5, 35.9, 40.7,
24.0 and 46.5 actual years of service with Sundstrand, respectively. Under 


                                     Page 9


<PAGE>   10


the Supplemental Retirement Plan certain of the elected officers, including
Messrs. Jenkins and Donovan, are being credited with service using an
accelerated formula. Accordingly, at age 65 they will have 30.0 and 30.0 years
of service, respectively, used to determine their retirement benefit.

     Although the Retirement Plan benefit formula includes a reduction for 50%
of a participant's monthly primary Social Security benefit earned at retirement,
the amounts shown in the table do not reflect this reduction. The benefit
amounts shown in the table are calculated based upon the straight life annuity
form of payment under the Retirement Plan and the Supplemental Retirement Plan.

     In addition to the foregoing, Sundstrand in 1998 matched, at the rate of
$0.50 for each $1.00 of contribution, contributions made by an executive officer
to Sundstrand's Employee Savings Plan with a current maximum match of 2% of the
executive officer's eligible compensation. These amounts are reflected in the
Summary Compensation Table. Under Sundstrand's Deferred Compensation Plan,
benefits are provided which are not available under Sundstrand's Employee
Savings Plan because of Internal Revenue Code limitations on the amount of
annual compensation that may be considered for determining contributions to
Sundstrand's Employee Savings Plan.

     At the time of his employment, Mr. Jenkins entered into an agreement with
Sundstrand which provides that he will receive a nonqualified benefit which,
when combined with his benefits under the Retirement Plan and the Supplemental
Retirement Plan, will equal the benefit that would be payable from these plans
if it is assumed at such time that he had twice his actual years of service with
Sundstrand. If he retires prior to age 65, Mr. Jenkins will receive the greater
of the benefit determined under this agreement or the benefit determined under
the Retirement and Supplemental Retirement Plans.

     Mr. Jenkins also has accrued a benefit under Sundstrand's Director Emeritus
Retirement Plan for his 2.5 years of service on the Board prior to April, 1998.
The plan is described under the heading Director Compensation.


EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

     Sundstrand maintains an employment agreement with Mr. Jenkins (the "Jenkins
Agreement") that is designed to assure Sundstrand of the ongoing benefit of his
services. The Jenkins Agreement covers a three-year period (the "Employment
Period"), which reduces to two years immediately prior to the automatic one-year
extension which occurs each September 30, unless written notice is given to the
contrary. Under the Jenkins Agreement, during the Employment Period Mr. Jenkins
agrees not to compete with Sundstrand or to disclose confidential information
concerning Sundstrand.

     The Jenkins Agreement provides that throughout the Employment Period,
Sundstrand shall neither demote Mr. Jenkins nor assign to him any duties or
responsibilities that are inconsistent with his position, duties and
responsibilities as Sundstrand's chief executive officer. The Jenkins Agreement
also provides that Sundstrand may not assign duties to Mr. Jenkins which would
require him to move the location of his principal business office or principal
place of residence outside the Rockford, Illinois area. Under the Jenkins
Agreement, during the Employment Period, Mr. Jenkins is to receive a salary of
not less than $750,000 per year, paid vacations and holidays, and fringe
benefits and perquisites. He also is eligible to participate in Sundstrand's
employee benefit plans, practices and programs, and is eligible to participate
in other benefit plans which are in effect, including Sundstrand's Bonus Plan,
Stock Incentive Plan, 1989 Restricted Stock Plan, Deferred Compensation Plan and
Supplemental Retirement Plan.

     In the event Sundstrand fails to meets its obligation under the Jenkins
Agreement, Mr. Jenkins will be entitled to receive for the Employment Period the
salary and benefits he would have otherwise received if his employment had
continued for such period. These benefits would not be payable, however, in the
event his employment is terminated by reason of (1) conviction of a felony, (2)
death, or (3) breach during the Employment Period of either his covenant not to
compete or his covenant not to disclose confidential information and failure to
cure such breach (the "enumerated reasons"). The Jenkins Agreement also provides
for the reimbursement of legal expenses incurred in connection with certain
claims or legal proceedings brought under or involving the agreement.

     The Jenkins Agreement requires Sundstrand to make an additional "gross-up
payment" to Mr. Jenkins to offset the effect of any excise tax imposed under
Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), on
any payment made to him in connection with his employment with Sundstrand. The
amount of the gross-

                                    Page 10
<PAGE>   11



up payment, if any, may be substantial and will depend upon
numerous factors, including the price per share of Sundstrand common stock and
the extent, if any, that payments or benefits made to Mr. Jenkins constitute
"excess parachute payments" within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code.

     The Jenkins Agreement provides, upon a Change in Control (as hereinafter
described) during the Employment Period, that: (1) all restrictions on any
restricted stock or restricted stock units granted to Mr. Jenkins under any
stock plan sponsored by Sundstrand shall lapse with all the stock and stock
units immediately vesting; (2) all outstanding stock options held by Mr. Jenkins
shall become fully vested and immediately exercisable; (3) commencing at the
time of Mr. Jenkins' termination of employment, he shall be provided with the
same health care coverage as provided to other eligible retirees and with a life
insurance benefit of five times his base salary as in effect on the date of his
termination for three years following the date of termination, and one time such
base salary thereafter; and (4) Mr. Jenkins shall become fully vested in a
retirement benefit determined pursuant to the provisions of the Retirement Plan
and Supplemental Retirement Plan, with such benefit calculated as though he had
at least 20 years of service. The Jenkins Agreement also provides that upon his
termination of employment following a Change in Control, in addition to all
other amounts payable under the Jenkins Agreement, he will within five days of
such termination be paid in a single lump sum all amounts accrued but unpaid
under the agreement, including salary, vacation pay, bonuses and other incentive
compensation plus, if his employment is terminated for any reason other than the
enumerated reasons or disability or certain voluntary terminations, he will
receive (1) a "Pro Rata Bonus" (as defined in the Jenkins Agreement), (2) a lump
sum cash payment equal to three times the sum of the base salary and bonus (the
base salary at least equal to his base salary in effect prior to a "Change in
Control" and the "Bonus Amount" (as defined in the Jenkins Agreement), subject
to certain adjustments, (3) continuation of life insurance, disability, medical,
dental, hospitalization, pension, profit-sharing, savings and retirement
benefits for a period of up to 36 months are (4) a lump sum cash amount equal to
three years of contribution to Mr. Jenkins' savings and supplemental savings
accounts.

     Assuming a Change in Control occurred on June 1, 1999, and his employment
were terminated in a manner giving rise to payment of severance benefits on that
date, the approximate value of the cash payments that would be paid pursuant to
the Jenkins Agreement as described above (other than the gross-up payments, if
applicable) would be $13,378,935. In addition, he would be entitled to receive
111,256 shares of restricted stock and restricted stock units, and the 185,000
unexercisable stock options held by him would become fully exercisable. Mr.
Jenkins also would be entitled to receive the non-cash benefits described in the
previous paragraph.

     On June 1, 1998, Sundstrand entered into substantially identical employment
agreements with Messrs. McKenna, Thomas, Donovan and Fellows. These four
agreements are collectively referred to as the "Employment Agreement." The
rights and obligations set forth in the Employment Agreement arise for a period
of up to three years following a Change in Control (the "Term") provided that
the Change in Control occurs during the "Protected Period" defined in the
Employment Agreement. The Employment Agreement sets forth the terms and
conditions of the executive's employment, annual base salary and participation
by the executive in Sundstrand's benefit plans. If the executive's employment is
terminated during the Term (1) by Sundstrand other than for "Cause" (as defined
in the Employment Agreement), (2) by the executive for "Good Reason" (as defined
in the Employment Agreement) or (3) by the executive having given notice during
the eight months following the Change in Control, effective as of the first
anniversary of the Change in Control, he will be entitled to receive (a) a
"Pro-Rata Bonus" (as defined in the Employment Agreement), (b) a lump sum cash
payment equal to three times the sum of his base salary and bonus (the base
salary at least equal to his base salary in effect prior to a Change in Control
and the bonus equal to the "Bonus Amount" as defined in the Employment
Agreement), subject to certain adjustments, (c) continuation of life insurance,
disability, medical, dental and hospitalization benefits for a period of up to
36 months and (d) a lump sum cash payment reflecting certain retirement benefits
he would have been entitled to receive had he remained employed by Sundstrand
for an additional three years, subject to certain adjustments. In addition, (1)
for purposes of Sundstrand's supplemental retirement plan, he will be treated
(other than for purposes of calculating years of service credit thereunder) as
if he was at least age 55 as of the date of termination, (2) the eligibility
requirements of Sundstrand's retiree health insurance plan will be waived, and
commencing on the executive's termination of employment he will be provided with
the same health care coverage as provided to other eligible retirees and (3) the
age and service requirements of Sundstrand's executive life insurance program
will be waived, and he will be provided with a life insurance benefit of five
times the base salary in effect on the date of termination for three years
following the termination date and one times such base salary thereafter.

     In addition, under the Employment Agreement all restrictions on any
outstanding incentive awards will lapse and become fully vested, and all
outstanding stock options shall become fully vested and immediately exercisable.
The

Employment Agreement also provides that Sundstrand will pay all legal fees
and related expenses incurred by the executive arising out of his employment or
termination of employment if, in general, the circumstances for which he has
retained legal counsel occurred on or after a Change in Control. Under the
Employment Agreement, Sundstrand also is required to make an additional
"gross-up payment" to the executive to fully offset the effect of any excise tax
imposed under Section 4999 of the Code on any payment made to him under the
Employment Agreement, the 1989 Restricted Stock Plan, the Stock Incentive Plan,
or any other incentive compensation or bonus plan. The amount of the gross-up,
if any, may be substantial and will depend upon numerous factors, including the
price per share of Sundstrand common stock and the extent, if any, that payments
or benefits made to the executive constitute "excess parachute payments" within
the meaning of Section 280G of the Code.

     Assuming a Change in Control occurred on June 1, 1999, and their employment
was terminated in a manner giving rise to the payment of severance benefits on
that date, the approximate amount of cash payments that would have been made
pursuant to the Employment Agreement as described above (other than the gross-up
payment, if applicable) would have been $3,416,060 for Mr. McKenna, $5,571,304
for Mr. Thomas, $6,435,190 for Mr. Donovan and $2,604,024 for Mr. Fellows. The
number of shares of restricted stock and/or restricted stock units they would
have been entitled to receive and the number of unexercisable stock options that
would have become fully exercisable as a result of the Change in Control would
have been 34,240 shares and units and 85,250 stock options for Mr. McKenna;
36,600 shares and units and 86,250 stock options for Mr. Thomas; 38,800 shares
and units and 85,000 stock options for Mr. Donovan; and 20,800 shares and units
and 30,000 options for Mr. Fellows. Messrs. McKenna, Thomas, Donovan and Fellows
also would be entitled to the non-cash benefits described above. The retirement
benefit to which each of the executives would be entitled would be paid pursuant
to the Retirement and Supplemental Retirement Plans as discussed under the
heading Retirement Plans.

     In general, for purposes of the Jenkins Agreement, each Employment
Agreement and the various stock plans maintained by Sundstrand, a Change in
Control is defined as any of the following events: (1) the acquisition (other
than from Sundstrand) by any person (as defined in Sections 13(d) or 14(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended [the "1934 Act"]) of beneficial
ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the 1934 Act) of
25% or more of the combined voting power of Sundstrand's then-outstanding voting
securities; (2) the individuals who, as of June 1, 1998, are members of
Sundstrand's board (the "Incumbent Board"), cease for any reason to constitute a
majority of Sundstrand's board, unless the election, or nomination for election,
by Sundstrand's stockholders of any new director was approved by a vote of a
majority of the Incumbent Board; or (3) approval by Sundstrand stockholders of
(a) a merger or consolidation involving Sundstrand if the Sundstrand
stockholders, immediately before such merger or consolidation, do not, as a
result of such merger or consolidation, own, directly or indirectly, more than
67% of the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities of
the corporation resulting from such merger or consolidation in substantially the
same proportion as their ownership of the combined voting power of the voting
securities of Sundstrand outstanding immediately before such merger or
consolidation or (b) a complete liquidation or dissolution of Sundstrand or an
agreement for the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the
assets of Sundstrand. A Change in Control shall not be deemed to occur by reason
of an acquisition referred to in clause (1) above because 25% or more of the
combined voting power of Sundstrand's then-outstanding securities is acquired by
(1) a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under one or more employee
benefit plans maintained by Sundstrand or any of its subsidiaries or (2) any
corporation that, immediately prior to such acquisition, is owned directly or
indirectly by the Sundstrand stockholders in the same proportion as their
ownership of stock in Sundstrand immediately prior to such acquisition.

     On February 22, 1999, Sundstrand and United Technologies Corporation
("UTC") announced that UTC has agreed to acquire Sundstrand. The acquisition by
UTC will result in a Change in Control for purposes of the Jenkins Agreement and
the Employment Agreements.


DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

     For 1998, director compensation included:

           Annual Retainer               *   $26,000



                                     Page 12


<PAGE>   13

           Attendance Fees               *   $1,200 for each Sundstrand board
                                             meeting 
                                             $1,000 for each Sundstrand board
                                             Committee meeting 
                                             Expenses related to attendance

           Stock Options                 *   2,000 options

           Additional Annual Retainer    *   the number of shares Sundstrand
           Paid in Restricted Stock          common stock having a fair market
                                             value on the annual meeting date 
                                             equal to $16,500

     The annual retainer, at the directors' election, may be paid in the form of
cash or Sundstrand common stock or be deferred in either an interest bearing
account under Sundstrand's Deferred Compensation Plan or in the form of
restricted stock units under Sundstrand's Director Compensation Plan.

     The restricted stock which is paid as the additional retainer will be
released upon the retirement of a director, and when Sundstrand's annualized
return on equity commencing with the year of the award equals at least 12%. Mr.
Jenkins is the only Sundstrand board member who is also a salaried employee.
Since he is a salaried employee, the only portion of the director compensation
that Mr. Jenkins is paid is the additional retainer.

     In addition, Sundstrand directors are provided a paid physical examination
for themselves and their spouses, the use of Sundstrand's planes on an emergency
basis, and participation in the Sundstrand Corporation Foundation's matching
gifts program, which annually matches up to $2,000 of charitable gifts on a $2
for $1 of gift basis.

     Under the Director Emeritus Retirement Plan those directors whose service
on the Sundstrand board began prior to April, 1998, upon retirement from the
Sundstrand board are entitled to an annual retirement benefit equal to the
retainer fee being paid to directors at the time of retirement. This retirement
benefit is to be paid for a period of time equal to the time the director served
on the Sundstrand board prior to April, 1998.

PERFORMANCE GRAPH AND TABLE

     The following performance graph and table compare the five-year cumulative
total stockholder return, assuming reinvestment of dividends, on $100 invested
on December 31, 1993, in each of Sundstrand common stock, Standard & Poor's 500
Stock Index, Standard & Poor's Aerospace/Defense Index and Standard & Poor's
Diversified Manufacturing Index. The Standard & Poor's Aerospace/Defense and
Diversified Manufacturing Indices were selected as properly reflecting
Sundstrand's involvement in the aerospace and industrial market segments, the
sales in each of these market segments being 61.3% and 38.7%, respectively, of
Sundstrand's total sales in 1998.
