(a) Reclassified for comparative purposes. Note 4. Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 - "Reporting Comprehensive Income" (SFAS No. 130), which establishes standards for reporting and display of changes in equity from nonowner sources in the financial statements. Total nonowner changes in shareowners' equity for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 are $609 and $444 million, respectively, which principally represent net income and foreign currency translation adjustments. 6 Note 5. The details of the earnings per share calculations for the three- and six-month periods ending June 30, 1998 and 1997 follow:

The diluted earnings per share calculation excludes the effect of stock options when the options' exercise prices exceed the average market price of the common shares during the period. For the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 1998, options for 1.0 million and 1.1 million, respectively, were excluded. Note 6. During the first quarter of 1998, the Company issued $200 million of 6.20% notes due February 1, 2008, and $200 million of 5-3/4% dealer remarketable securities due March 15, 2011. During the second quarter of 1998, the Company made two exchange offers to holders of certain of its outstanding debt securities. In the first such exchange offer, holders of approximately $52 million principal amount of the Company's 9 1/2% Debentures due June 1, 2016 tendered debentures for a like principal amount of the Company's 9.065% Debentures due June 1, 2033. In the second such exchange offer, holders of approximately $79 million principal amount of the Company's 9 7/8% Debentures due June 1, 2002 and approximately $39 million principal amount of the Company's 9.20% Debentures due February 15, 2003 tendered debentures for approximately $133 million principal amount of the Company's 6 1/8% Notes due July 1, 2005. The debt exchange did not result in a substantial modification of the original debt terms. Note 7. During the first quarter of 1998, the Company issued 10.7 million shares of its common stock, valued at approximately $400 million, for acquisitions. 7 Report on Review by Independent Accountants ___________________________________________ To the Board of Directors of AlliedSignal Inc. We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of AlliedSignal Inc. and its subsidiaries as of June 30, 1998, and the consolidated statements of income for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 and of cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997. This financial information is the responsibility of the Company's management. We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the financial information referred to above for it to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1997, and the related consolidated statements of income, of retained earnings, and of cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated January 28, 1998 we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet information as of December 31, 1997, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP Florham Park, NJ 07932 August 7, 1998 8 Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS ______________________________________________ Results of Operations _____________________ Second Quarter 1998 Compared with Second Quarter 1997 _____________________________________________________ Net sales in the second quarter of 1998 were $3.9 billion, an increase of $291 million, or 8%, compared with the second quarter of 1997. Of this increase, $323 million was due to higher sales volume and $312 million was from recent acquisitions, offset in part by a $258 million reduction for disposed businesses, mainly the safety restraints business. Selling prices were lower by $59 million and the impact of foreign exchange reduced sales by $27 million. During the second quarter 1998, the Company began reporting results in five business segments. Aerospace Systems includes Aerospace Equipment Systems (environmental control systems; engine and fuel controls; power systems; aircraft lighting; and aircraft wheels and brakes); Electronic & Avionics Systems (flight safety, communications, navigation, radar and surveillance systems; and advanced systems and instruments); and Aerospace Marketing, Sales & Service (repair and overhaul services; hardware; logistics; and management and technical services). Aerospace Systems sales of $1,204 million in the second quarter of 1998 increased by $237 million, or 25%, compared with the second quarter of 1997. This sales growth reflects strong commercial spares sales and original equipment (OE) sales in power management and generation systems. Strong demand also continued for Electronic & Avionics Systems safety avionics products, particularly for the enhanced ground proximity warning system. The acquisition of Grimes Aerospace (Grimes) lighting systems business in July 1997 and Banner Aerospace (Banner) FAA-certified hardware parts business in January 1998 also contributed to Aerospace Systems higher sales. Specialty Chemicals & Electronic Solutions includes Specialty Chemicals (fluorine-based products; pharmaceutical and agricultural chemicals; specialty waxes, adhesives and sealants; and process technology); and Electronic Materials (insulation materials for integrated circuitry; copper-clad laminates for printed circuit boards; advanced chip packaging; and amorphous metals). Specialty Chemicals & Electronic Solutions sales of $589 million in the second quarter of 1998 increased by $13 million, or 2%, compared with the second quarter of 1997. Sales in Specialty Chemicals were higher primarily reflecting the acquisition of Astor Holdings (Astor) wax business in October 1997, which more than offset a sales decline in Electronic Materials due to soft semiconductor and electronics markets. Turbine Technologies includes Aerospace Engines (auxiliary power units; and propulsion engines); and Turbocharging Systems (turbochargers; charge-air coolers; and portable power systems). Turbine Technologies sales of $921 million in the second quarter of 1998 were $172 million, or 23%, higher compared with the same quarter of 1997. This sales increase reflects higher sales of OE and aftermarket propulsion engines and auxiliary power units. Sales of turbochargers also increased, benefiting from strength in European diesel-powered passenger cars and from growth in the North American diesel truck market. 9 Performance Polymers includes the Polymers unit (fibers; plastics resins; specialty films; and intermediate chemicals). Performance Polymers sales of $531 million in the second quarter of 1998 were $19 million, or 4%, higher compared with the same quarter of 1997. This sales growth resulted from increases in sales of specialty films for pharmaceutical packaging, increased engineering plastics volume in the lawn and power tool segment, and improved sales of higher-margin plastics in Europe. The loss of sales resulting from exiting the European carpet fibers business and a portion of the North American textiles business was a partial offset. Transportation Products includes the Automotive Products Group (car care products including anti-freeze, filters, spark plugs, cleaners, waxes and additives; and friction materials); and Truck Brake Systems (air brake and anti-lock braking systems). Transportation Products sales of $621 million in the second quarter of 1998 were $151 million, or 20%, lower compared with the second quarter of 1997. The decrease primarily reflects the disposition of the safety restraints business. Excluding the disposed safety restraints business, sales were 13% higher. The sales gain reflects the acquisition of the Prestone Products Corporation (Prestone) in June 1997 and the Holt Lloyd Group Ltd. (Holt Lloyd) in November 1997 and higher demand for OE truck brake products, anti-lock truck brake installations and growth in truck brake aftermarket products. Cost of goods sold as a percent of net sales decreased from 77.2% in the second quarter of 1997 to 76.2% in the second quarter of 1998 reflecting in part results of the Company's continuing Six Sigma programs to improve productivity and lower manufacturing and materials costs. Income from operations of $514 million in the second quarter of 1998 increased by $86 million, or 20%, compared with the second quarter of 1997. On a segment basis, Aerospace Systems income from operations increased by 49%, Specialty Chemicals & Electronic Solutions increased by 14%, Turbine Technologies increased by 5% and Performance Polymers increased by 39%. Income from operations for Transportation Products decreased by 39%. Excluding the divested safety restraints business, Transportation Products income from operations decreased by 20%. The Company's operating margin for the second quarter of 1998 was 13.3%, compared with 12.0% for the same period last year. See the discussion of net income below for information by segment. Productivity (the constant dollar basis relationship of sales to costs) improved by 5.5% compared with the second quarter of 1997 primarily reflecting ongoing Six Sigma initiatives to lower materials and manufacturing costs. Equity in income of affiliated companies of $29 million in the second quarter of 1998 represents a decrease of $26 million, or 47%, compared with the same quarter of 1997, primarily due to lower earnings from the UOP process technology joint venture (UOP). Other income (expense) decreased by $14 million, compared with the same quarter of 1997, reflecting lower interest income primarily due to a lower cash position because of spending for acquisitions and repurchases of the Company's common stock. 10 Interest and other financial charges of $32 million in the second quarter of 1998 decreased by $7 million, or 18%, compared with the second quarter of 1997. This decrease results from lower tax interest expense due to an acceleration of worldwide tax audits resulting in developments favorable to the Company's position, offset in part by higher debt-related interest expense reflecting increased levels of debt. The effective tax rate in the second quarter of 1998 was 31.5%, compared with 33.5% in the second quarter of 1997, primarily due to tax benefits on exports, an increase in energy tax credits and other tax planning strategies. Net income of $350 million, or $0.61 per share, in the second quarter of 1998 was 15% higher than net income of $305 million, or $0.52 per share, in the second quarter of 1997. All earnings per share data in Management's Discussion and Analysis reflect diluted earnings per share. Aerospace Systems net income of $123 million in the second quarter of 1998 improved by $42 million, or 52%, compared with the same quarter of 1997. Net income growth results primarily from strong demand for higher-margin new safety and communications products and improved avionics factory performance. The acquisition of Grimes also contributed to higher net income for Aerospace Systems. Specialty Chemicals & Electronic Solutions net income of $82 million in the second quarter of 1998 decreased by $18 million, or 18%, compared with the second quarter of 1997. This decline in net income was driven by a lower contribution by UOP. Turbine Technologies net income of $63 million in the second quarter of 1998 increased by $9 million, or 17%, compared with the second quarter of 1997. This increase in net income results from higher sales and factory productivity improvements which were somewhat offset by engineering and development costs in two new product lines. Performance Polymers net income of $57 million in the second quarter of 1998 increased by $20 million, or 54%, compared with the same quarter of 1997. Net income increased due to a more favorable price-cost relationship in nylon and polyester, productivity actions, and the elimination of losses from exiting the European carpet fibers business and a portion of the North American textiles business. Transportation Products net income of $14 million in the second quarter of 1998 decreased by $15 million, or 52%, compared with the second quarter of 1997. The decrease primarily reflects the absence of net income from the disposed safety restraints business. Net income also declined for the Automotive Products Group. Six Months 1998 Compared with Six Months 1997 _____________________________________________ Net sales in the first six months of 1998 were $7.5 billion, an increase of $610 million, or 9%, compared with the first six months of 1997. Of this increase, $694 million was due to higher sales volume and $582 million was from recent acquisitions, offset in part by a $490 million reduction for disposed 11 businesses, mainly the safety restraints business. Selling prices were lower by $111 million and the impact of foreign exchange reduced sales by $65 million. Aerospace Systems sales of $2,334 million in the first six months of 1998 increased by $495 million, or 27%, compared with the first six months of 1997. This sales increase was led by strong sales by Aerospace Equipment Systems across all product lines, as well as the acquisition of Grimes. Electronic & Avionics Systems also had substantially higher sales reflecting strong demand for the Company's flight safety and cockpit communication products. The acquisition of Banner also contributed to higher sales for Aerospace Systems. Specialty Chemicals & Electronic Solutions sales of $1,187 million in the first six months of 1998 increased by $97 million, or 9%, compared with the same period of 1997. Sales of Specialty Chemicals were significantly higher primarily reflecting the acquisition of Astor. However, sales of Electronic Materials declined slightly due to soft semiconductor and electronics markets. Turbine Technologies sales of $1,741 million in the first six months of 1998 were $270 million, or 18%, higher compared with the same period of 1997. Engines sales of auxiliary power units to the commercial air transport and regional aircraft markets and propulsion engine demand in the business jet market were strong. Sales of turbochargers were also higher due primarily to the continued strong demand in European diesel-powered passenger cars. Performance Polymers sales of $1,058 million in the first six months of 1998 were $60 million, or 6%, higher compared with the first six months of 1997, due mainly to growth in specialty films and engineering plastics. Transportation Products sales of $1,190 million in the first six months of 1998 decreased by $312 million, or 21%, compared with the first six months of 1997. The decrease primarily reflects the disposition of the safety restraints business. Excluding the disposed safety restraints business, sales were 12% higher. This increase in sales reflects significantly higher sales for Truck Brake Systems and the acquisitions of Prestone and Holt Lloyd. The increase was somewhat offset by lower sales for friction materials, spark plugs and filters. Cost of goods sold as a percent of net sales decreased from 77.7% in the first six months of 1997 to 76.6% in the first six months of 1998 primarily reflecting results of the Company's continuing Six Sigma programs to improve productivity and lower manufacturing and materials costs. Income from operations of $953 million in the first six months of 1998 increased by $168 million, or 21%, compared with the first six months of 1997. On a segment basis, Aerospace Systems income from operations increased by 69%. Specialty Chemicals & Electronic Solutions increased by 8% and Performance Polymers increased by 68%. Income from operations for Turbine Technologies and Transportation Products decreased by 2% and 53%, respectively. Excluding the divested safety restraints business, Transportation Products income from operations decreased by 30%. The Company's operating margin for the first six months of 1998 was 12.7%, compared with 11.4% for the same period last year. See the discussion of net income below for information by segment. 12 Productivity improved by 5.7% for the first six months of 1998 compared with the first six months of 1997 primarily reflecting ongoing Six Sigma initiatives to lower materials and manufacturing costs. Equity in income of affiliated companies of $63 million in the first six months of 1998 represents a decrease of $33 million, or 34%, compared with the same period of 1997, primarily due to lower earnings from UOP and the absence of earnings from investments divested in connection with the sale of the safety restraints business. Other income (expense), a $1 million loss in the first six months of 1998, was unfavorable by $49 million compared with the same period of 1997, reflecting lower interest income primarily due to a lower cash position because of spending for acquisitions and repurchases of the Company's common stock and the absence of foreign exchange gains offset somewhat by lower minority interest. Interest and other financial charges of $66 million in the first six months of 1998 decreased by $15 million, or 19%, compared with the first six months of 1997. This decrease results from lower tax interest expense due to an acceleration of worldwide tax audits resulting in developments favorable to the Company's position, offset in part by higher debt-related interest expense reflecting increased levels of debt. The effective tax rate in the first six months of 1998 decreased to 31.5% compared with 33.5% in 1997, primarily due to tax benefits on exports, an increase in energy tax credits and other tax planning strategies. Net income of $650 million, or $1.13 per share, in the first six months of 1998 was 15% higher than net income of $564 million, or $0.97 per share, in the first six months of 1997. Aerospace Systems net income of $239 million in the first six months of 1998 improved by $95 million, or 66%, compared with the same period of 1997. This increase in net income was led by substantially higher sales and improved factory performance for Electronic & Avionics Systems. The acquisitions of Grimes and Banner also contributed to the higher net income. Specialty Chemicals & Electronic Solutions net income of $164 million in the first six months of 1998 represents a decrease of $23 million, or 12%, compared with the same period of 1997. Electronic Materials net income declined substantially due principally to weakness in the semiconductor and electronics markets. Specialty Chemicals net income also decreased due principally to lower results for UOP. Turbine Technologies net income of $116 million in the first six months of 1998 increased by $8 million, or 7%, compared with the first six months of 1997, reflecting higher sales and productivity improvements for Engines. Performance Polymers net income of $102 million in the first six months of 1998 improved by $44 million, or 76%, compared with the first six months of 1997. This improvement in net income was primarily driven by volume growth across most businesses, a more favorable price-cost relationship in nylon and polyester and productivity initiatives. 13 Transportation Products net income of $18 million in the first six months of 1998 was $44 million, or 71%, lower than in the first six months of 1997. The decrease primarily reflects the absence of net income from the disposed safety restraints business. Net income was also lower for the Automotive Products Group. Financial Condition ___________________ June 30, 1998 Compared with December 31, 1997 _____________________________________________ On June 30, 1998, the Company had $529 million in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments compared with $1,041 million at year-end 1997. The decrease mainly reflects funds deployed for acquisitions and repurchases of the Company's common stock. The Company's long-term debt on June 30, 1998 was $1,638 million, an increase of $423 million compared with year-end 1997. This increase principally reflects the issuance of new long-term debt, as described in Note 6 to the financial statements. Total debt of $2,502 million on June 30, 1998 was $195 million higher than at December 31, 1997. The Company's total debt as a percent of capital at June 30, 1998 was 31.9%, compared with 31.7% at year-end 1997. During the first six months of 1998, the Company spent $280 million for capital expenditures, compared with $309 million in the corresponding period of 1997. This decline in capital spending is primarily due to the divestiture of the safety restraints business. On August 4, 1998, the Company announced that it intends to commence a tender offer subject to customary terms and conditions for all of the outstanding shares of AMP Incorporated, a Pennsylvania corporation (AMP), at $44.50 per share in cash, or approximately $9.8 billion for the approximately 220 million AMP shares outstanding. Any such offer will be made by way of offering materials complying with the requirements of applicable federal and state securities laws. The Company expects to finance such offering through bank credit facilities, issuance of commercial paper, long-term debt offerings and/or equity offerings. In January 1998, the Company acquired Banner, 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. Also, in the first quarter of 1998, the Company completed the sale of its underwater detection systems business to L-3 Communications Corporation for approximately $70 million in cash. The ocean systems unit had annual revenues of about $70 million. In June 1998, the Company 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. Also in June 1998, the Company completed the sale of its 50%-owned automotive catalyst business to General Motors Corporation for approximately $50 million in cash. This business had annual sales of about $250 million. The Company continuously assesses the relative strength of its portfolio of businesses as to strategic fit, market position and profit contribution in order 14 to upgrade its combined portfolio and identify operating units that will most benefit from increased investment. The Company considers 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 action. During the first six months of 1998, the Company sold certain non-strategic businesses and other assets. During the first six months of 1998, the Company repurchased 14.0 million shares of its common stock for $591 million. During the second quarter 1998, the Company announced its intentions to repurchase up to $2.2 billion of its common stock over the next two years. Common stock is repurchased to meet the expected requirements for shares issued under employee benefit plans, acquisitions, a shareowner dividend reinvestment plan and to reduce common stock outstanding. At June 30, 1998, the Company was authorized to repurchase 65.7 million shares of its common stock. The amount of common stock repurchased may be affected by the commencement of a tender offer for the outstanding shares of AMP. The Company has recognized 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 problem. The Company has assessed how it may be impacted by Year 2000 and has formulated and commenced implementation of a comprehensive plan to address all known aspects of the Year 2000 problem: information systems, production and facilities equipment, products, suppliers and customers. The plan, as it relates to information systems, involves a combination of software modification, upgrades and replacement. The Company's target date for the remediation of its critical information systems is December 31, 1998 and the target date for remediation of the remainder of its information systems is March 31, 1999. The Company has completed the assessment and development of remediation plans with respect to substantially all of the Company's products and expects that the assessment and development of remediation plans with respect to production and facilities equipment, suppliers and customers will be substantially complete by the end of the third quarter of 1998. The Company has begun remediating production and facilities equipment and products and expects that remediation will be substantially completed by March 31, 1999. The Company expects that development of remediation plans with respect to major suppliers and customers will be completed by year-end 1998 and that remediation will be substantially completed by March 31, 1999; however, the Company can provide no assurance that Year 2000 compliance plans will be successfully completed by suppliers and customers in a timely manner. The Company's preliminary estimate of the total cost for Year 2000 compliance, based on the assessment to date plus estimates of remediation costs on components not yet fully assessed, is approximately $150 million, of which approximately $50 million has been incurred through June 30, 1998. 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 facilities equipment to 15 implementation of Year 2000 compliance plans may in some instances delay productivity improvements. If the Company is not successful in implementing its Year 2000 compliance plan, it may have a material adverse impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations and financial condition. Because of the importance of addressing the Year 2000 problem, the Company expects to develop by year-end 1998 contingency plans and trained specialist teams to implement such contingency plans to address any issues that may not be corrected by implementation of the Company's Year 2000 compliance plan in a timely manner. In June 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.
