SUCH STABILIZING, IF COMMENCED, MAY BE DISCONTINUED AT ANY TIME. THE COMPANY Honeywell Inc. ("Honeywell" or the "Company") is a global controls company that supplies automation and control solutions to customers in the homes and buildings, industrial, and space and aviation markets. In 1995, the Company had sales in excess of $6.7 billion, approximately 39% of which were generated outside the United States. Honeywell is organized into three business segments: Home and Building Control, Industrial Control, and Space and Aviation Control. Home and Building Control, the largest of the three segments, accounted for approximately 45% of the Company's revenues in 1995. Honeywell's Home and Building Control products, which range from residential thermostats to sophisticated automation systems that control entire building complexes, have been sold to millions of homes and businesses worldwide. Approximately one half of this segment's sales in 1995 were derived outside the United States, and this segment has a strong installed customer base that provides significant ongoing business. Industrial Control offers automation and control solutions to customers in targeted market segments worldwide, including refining, petrochemical, pulp and paper, pharmaceuticals and consumer goods industries. Industrial Control products are designed to help customers improve productivity and meet increasingly stringent environmental and safety requirements. Industrial Control has an extensive customer base worldwide, including most of the leading oil refiners, pulp and paper manufacturers and chemical companies. This segment accounted for approximately 30% of Honeywell's sales in 1995, approximately half of which were generated internationally. Space and Aviation Control is a leading supplier of integrated avionics, products and systems to the commercial, military and space markets. This segment has a broad product line that includes flight management systems, cockpit displays, global positioning systems and traffic avoidance and collision systems. Honeywell avionics have been purchased by leading aircraft manufacturers for use in aircraft throughout the world, including the Boeing 777, the McDonnell Douglas MD-11 and MD-90, the GulfStream IV and V, the Cessna Citation X and the Bombardier Global Express jet. In the military and space markets, Honeywell solutions are found on key platforms, including the F-15 and the F-16 military jets and Space Station Alpha. In 1995, Space and Aviation Control accounted for approximately 23% of the Company's revenues. Space and Aviation Control sales to the U.S. Government and its agencies accounted for less than 5% of Honeywell's revenues in 1995. Honeywell believes that its businesses share a number of competitive advantages including superior technology, strong brand recognition, systems integration expertise, global reach, leading market position and an understanding of customer needs in the markets they serve. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS In the first quarter of 1996 the Company reported net income of $65.1 million, or $.51 per share, an increase of 19% compared with $54.7 million, or $.43 per share, in the first quarter of 1995. Sales in the first quarter of 1996 were $1.62 billion, an increase of approximately 10% compared with $1.48 billion in the corresponding period in 1995. Operating profit was $143.8 million, compared with $124.4 million in the first quarter of 1995. HOME AND BUILDING CONTROL. Operating profit for this business was $53.8 million, an increase of 8% from $49.9 million last year. Sales increased to $693.0 million from $643.1 million in the first quarter of 1995. Home and Building Control orders increased 9% from year-earlier levels. S-2 INDUSTRIAL CONTROL. Operating profit for this business was $50.0 million compared with $48.0 million in the preceding year. Sales in the first quarter were $501.9 million compared with $456.2 million last year. Industrial Control orders were up more than 6% from year-earlier levels. SPACE AND AVIATION CONTROL. Operating profit for this business was $39.1 million compared with $26.3 million in the first quarter of 1995. Sales were $398.3 million compared with $353.1 million a year earlier. Commercial aviation orders during the quarter were more than 10% higher than the comparative quarter in 1995. However, military and space orders declined, resulting in a 5% decline in total orders. ACQUISITIONS In March 1996, the Company completed the $283.0 million acquisition of Duracraft Corp., a manufacturer of home comfort products. In February, 1996, the Company completed the acquisition of the measurement and control sensor businesses of Leeds & Northrup. LITTON LITIGATION On March 13, 1990, Litton Systems, Inc. ("Litton") filed suit against the Company in U.S. District Court, Central District of California, alleging patent infringement relating to the process used by the Company to coat mirrors incorporated in its ring laser gyroscopes; attempted monopolization and predatory pricing by the Company of certain alleged markets for products containing ring laser gyroscopes; and intentional interference by the Company with Litton's prospective advantage in European markets and with its contractual relationships with Ojai Research, Inc., a California corporation. The Company generally denied Litton's allegations, contested both the validity and infringement of the patent, and alleged that the patent had been obtained by Litton's inequitable conduct before the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The Company also filed counterclaims against Litton alleging, among other things, that Litton's business and litigation conduct violated federal and state laws, causing the Company considerable damage and expense. On January 9, 1995, Judge Mariana Pfaelzer of the U.S. District Court set aside an August 1993 jury verdict and damage award of $1.2 billion against the Company in the patent and interference with contract case. She ruled, among other things, that the Litton patent was unenforceable because it was obtained by inequitable conduct and invalid because it was an invention that would have been obvious from combining existing processes. She further ruled that if her judgment were ever subsequently vacated or reversed on appeal, the Company would be granted a new trial on the issue of damages because the jury's 1993 award was inconsistent with the clear weight of the evidence and permitting it to stand would constitute a miscarriage of justice. Litton has appealed all of Judge Pfaelzer's rulings to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, Washington, D.C. Briefs for the appeal have been submitted by the parties and oral arguments were presented December 8, 1995. The Company believes that Judge Pfaelzer's rulings will be upheld on appeal. As a result, no provision has been made in the financial statements with respect to this contingent liability. The trial for the antitrust case began on November 20, 1995, before Judge Pfaelzer and a different jury. Prior to the jury's deliberations in the antitrust trial, the court dismissed, for failure of proof, Litton's contentions that the Company engaged in below-cost predatory pricing, illegal tying, bundling and illegally acquiring Sperry Avionics in 1986. The case was submitted to the jury on two claims, monopolization and attempt to monopolize, both based on Litton's allegations that the Company entered into certain exclusive dealings and penalty arrangements with aircraft manufacturers and airlines to exclude Litton from the commercial aircraft market. On February 29, 1996, the jury returned a $234 million verdict against the Company for the monopolization claim. On March 1, 1996, the jury indicated that it was unable to reach a verdict on damages for the attempted monopolization claim, and a mistrial was declared on that claim. The Company continues to maintain that it competed vigorously and lawfully in the inertial navigation business and will continue to defend itself against Litton's allegations. The Company believes that the jury's partial verdict should be overturned because Litton (i) failed to prove essential elements of liability and (ii) failed to submit competent evidence to support its claim for damages by offering only a S-3 speculative, all-or-nothing $298.5 million damage study. The Company filed post-verdict motions with the trial court asking that judgment be granted in favor of the Company as a matter of law or, in the alternative, for a new trial, and will argue important procedural and other matters that could dispose of this case. If the $234 million jury verdict withstands post-verdict motions, in whole or in part, any dollar judgment will be trebled under federal antitrust laws and will be appealed by the Company. The case will conclude only when the trial and appellate courts resolve all of the legal issues that could reduce or eliminate the jury verdict. As a result, no provision has been made in the financial statements with respect to this contingent liability. USE OF PROCEEDS The net proceeds to be received by the Company from the issuance of the Notes offered hereby, estimated to be approximately $297.0 million (after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses), are expected to be used to reduce outstanding commercial paper. On April 15, 1996, the Company had approximately $304.5 million of commercial paper outstanding, with a weighted average maturity of 5 days and bearing a weighted average interest rate of approximately 5.4% per annum. Pending such application, all or a portion of the net proceeds will be invested in short-term money market instruments.

DESCRIPTION OF NOTES THE FOLLOWING DESCRIPTION OF THE PARTICULAR TERMS OF THE NOTES OFFERED HEREBY (REFERRED TO IN THE ACCOMPANYING PROSPECTUS AS THE "DEBT SECURITIES") SUPPLEMENTS, AND TO THE EXTENT INCONSISTENT THEREWITH REPLACES, THE DESCRIPTION OF THE GENERAL TERMS AND PROVISIONS OF THE DEBT SECURITIES SET FORTH IN THE ACCOMPANYING PROSPECTUS, TO WHICH DESCRIPTION REFERENCE IS HEREBY MADE. CAPITALIZED TERMS NOT DEFINED HEREIN HAVE THE MEANINGS ASSIGNED TO SUCH TERMS IN THE PROSPECTUS. GENERAL The 2001 Notes offered hereby will be limited to $100,000,000 aggregate principal amount and will mature on April 15, 2001. The 2008 Notes offered hereby will be limited to $200,000,000 aggregate principal amount and will mature on April 15, 2008. The Notes are not entitled to a sinking fund. Interest at the applicable annual rate set forth on the cover page of this Prospectus Supplement will be payable semiannually on April 15 and October 15, commencing October 15, 1996, to the persons in whose names the Notes are registered at the close of business on April 1 or October 1, as the case may be, preceding such interest payment date. Interest on the Notes will accrue from April 15, 1996 or from the most recent interest payment date to which interest has been paid or provided for. The Notes constitute a separate series of Debt Securities under the Indenture described in the Prospectus and will be issued in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof. The Notes will be unsecured and will rank on a parity with each other and with all other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Company. The Notes may not be redeemed prior to maturity. The provisions described in the Prospectus under "Description of Debt Securities--Defeasance Provisions" will be applicable to the Notes. S-7 BOOK-ENTRY PROCEDURES The Notes will be issued in the form of one or more fully registered Global Securities (the "Global Securities"), which will be deposited with, or on behalf of, The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York (the "Depositary") and registered in the name of the Depositary's nominee. Except as set forth below, the Global Securities may be transferred, in whole or in part, only to another nominee of the Depositary or to a successor of the Depositary or its nominee. The Depositary has advised the Company and the Underwriters as follows: The Depositary is a limited-purpose trust company that was created to hold securities for its participating organizations (the "Participants") and to facilitate the clearance and settlement of securities transactions between Participants in such securities through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of its Participants. Participants include securities brokers and dealers (including certain of the Underwriters), banks (including the Trustee) and trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations. Access to the Depositary's system is also available to others such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Participant, either directly or indirectly ("indirect participants"). Persons who are not Participants may beneficially own securities held by the Depositary only through Participants or indirect participants. The Depositary advises that pursuant to procedures established by it (i) upon issuance of the Notes by the Company, the Depositary will credit the accounts of Participants designated by the Underwriters with the principal amounts of the Notes purchased by the Underwriters, and (ii) ownership of beneficial interests in the Global Securities will be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership will be effected only through, records maintained by the Depositary (with respect to the Participants' interests), the Participants and the indirect participants. The laws of some states require that certain persons take physical delivery in definitive form of securities that they own. Consequently, the ability to transfer beneficial interests in the Global Securities is limited to such extent. So long as a nominee of the Depositary is the registered owner of the Global Securities, such nominee for all purposes will be considered the sole owner or holder of such Notes under the Indenture. Except as provided below, owners of beneficial interests in the Global Securities will not be entitled to have Notes registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of Notes in definitive form, and will not be considered the owners or holders thereof under the Indenture. The Trustee, any Paying Agent and the Security Registrar will not have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in the Global Securities, or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. Principal and interest payments on the Notes registered in the name of the Depositary's nominee will be made by the Trustee to the Depositary's nominee as the registered owner of the Global Securities. Under the terms of the Indenture, the Company and the Trustee will treat the persons in whose names the Notes are registered as the owners of such Notes for the purpose of receiving payment of principal and interest on the Notes and for all other purposes whatsoever. Therefore, neither the Company, the Trustee nor any Paying Agent has any direct responsibility or liability for the payment of principal or interest on the Notes to owners of beneficial interests in the Global Securities. The Depositary has advised the Company and the Trustee that its present practice is, upon receipt of any payment of principal or interest, to immediately credit the accounts of the Participants with such payment in amounts proportionate to their respective holdings in principal amount of beneficial interests in the Global Securities as shown on the records of the Depositary. The Depositary's current practice is to credit such accounts, as to interest, in next-day funds and, as to principal, in same-day funds. Payments by Participants and indirect participants to owners of beneficial interests in the Global Securities will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is now the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in "street name," and will be the responsibility of the Participants or indirect participants. S-8 If the Depositary is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as depository and a successor depository is not appointed by the Company within 90 days, the Company will issue Notes in definitive form in exchange for the Global Securities. In addition, the Company may at any time determine not to have the Notes represented by Global Securities and, in such event, will issue Notes in definitive form in exchange for the Global Securities. In either instance, an owner of a beneficial interest in the Global Securities will be entitled to have Notes equal in principal amount to such beneficial interest registered in its name and will be entitled to physical delivery of such Notes in definitive form. Notes so issued in the definitive form will be issued in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof and will be issued in registered form only, without coupons.

The Company has been advised by the Underwriters that they currently intend to make a market in the Notes, although the Underwriters are not obligated to do so and may discontinue such market making at any time without notice. Accordingly, no assurance can be given as to the liquidity of, or the trading market for, the Notes. In the ordinary course of their respective businesses, certain of the Underwriters and their affiliates have engaged, and may in the future engage, in investment banking and commercial banking transactions with the Company and certain of its affiliates. The Chase Manhattan Bank (National Association) is the Trustee under the Indenture, and is an affiliate of Chase Securities Inc., one of the Underwriters. The Company has agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933.
