Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Dollars in Millions) Note 1. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position of AlliedSignal Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries at March 31, 1994 and the results of operations and the changes in cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 1994 and 1993. The results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 1994 should not necessarily be taken as indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the entire year 1994. In the fourth quarter of 1993 the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 112 -- 'Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits' effective as of January 1, 1993. The 1993 numbers have been restated to include both ongoing and cumulative effects of the accounting change. The financial information as of March 31, 1994 should be read in conjunction with the financial statements contained in the Company's Form 10-K Annual Report for 1993. Note 2. 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 other inventories. Inventories consist of the following:

Note 3. Based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period, as follows: 1994, 284,456,136 shares; and 1993, 284,185,046 shares. No dilution results from outstanding common stock equivalents. Share and per share data for both periods reflects the March 1994 two-for-one stock split. 6 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 consolidated subsidiaries as of March 31, 1994, and the consolidated statements of income and of cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 1994 and 1993. 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, 1993, 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 February 3, 1994 except for Note 1 (Subsequent Events) which is as of February 7, 1994, 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, 1993, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived. Price Waterhouse 4 Headquarters Plaza North Morristown, NJ 07962 April 21, 1994 7 Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Results of Operations First Quarter 1994 Compared with First Quarter 1993 Net sales in the first quarter of 1994 totaled $3.0 billion, an increase of $85 million, or 3 percent, compared with the first quarter of last year. Of this increase, $152 million was due to higher volumes. Partly offsetting was a decrease in prices of $27 million and a decrease reflecting the impact of a stronger U.S. dollar which resulted in lower sales, as expressed in U.S. dollars, in Europe of $40 million for automotive. Sales for engineered materials and automotive increased by $64 and $29 million, respectively, while sales for aerospace declined by $8 million. Engineered materials' sales improved because of higher sales volumes of nylon carpet fibers, industrial fibers, CFC substitutes, amorphous metals, circuit board laminates and engineered plastics. Automotive's sales increased, despite the impact of the strong dollar and sluggish economic conditions in Europe, due to higher volumes for safety restraints (mainly air bags), turbochargers in both North America and Europe and North American brakes. Competitive pricing pressures in this year's first quarter and heavy promotional sales in last year's first quarter resulted in an unfavorable sales comparison for aftermarket products. Although sales of heavy truck brake systems in North America were strong, worldwide sales of heavy truck brake systems were down, reflecting the transfer of the Company's European truck brake business to a joint venture with Knorr-Bremse AG in October 1993. The aerospace decrease is mainly due to continued cutbacks in military spending and lower sales to commercial airlines reflecting poor economic conditions. Aerospace sales in the first quarter of 1994 include a $68 million contract settlement with the U.S. Air Force. Sales from commercial avionics and landing systems were higher, in part reflecting the contributions of recently acquired businesses. The engines business experienced lower sales. Income from operations of $270 million was favorable by $37 million, or 16 percent, compared with last year's first quarter. Automotive's operating income improved by 20 percent, engineered materials by 10 percent and aerospace by 10 percent. Operating expense for corporate decreased by 8 percent. The Company's operating margin for the first quarter of 1994 was 9.0 percent compared with 8.0 percent 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) of the Company's businesses improved by 5.9 percent compared with last year's first quarter. Equity in income of affiliated companies of $30 million was favorable by $5 million, or 20 percent, compared to last year mainly due to increased profits from Paxon, the high-density polyethylene joint venture. Other income (expense) of $(13) million was unfavorable by $4 million compared to last year's first quarter mainly due to a higher amount for minority interest reflecting a joint venturing with Knorr-Bremse in the United States. 8 Interest and other financial charges of $37 million decreased $8 million, or 18 percent, from 1993's first quarter reflecting a lower level and a more favorable mix of debt outstanding. The effective tax rate in the first quarter of 1994 was 32.4 percent. The 1993 rate was 28.4 percent. The 4.0 percentage point increase reflects a higher level of earnings subject to the statutory rate and the additional non-deductibility of items and a higher rate resulting from the 1993 tax act. Income before the cumulative effect of change in accounting principle of $169 million, or $.60 a share, was favorable to last year's $146 million, or $.51 a share. Earnings for aerospace increased 11 percent primarily due to cost savings from business consolidations, materials management and other productivity programs. Income from commercial avionics and landing systems was higher. Productivity improvements in the engines business contributed to significantly higher net income, while continued contraction of military spending and poor economic conditions among many of the Company's commercial airline customers resulted in lower earnings for most other aerospace businesses. The contract settlement with the Air Force had an insignificant impact on the quarter's net income. Automotive's income increased 17 percent reflecting productivity improvements throughout the business coupled with strong passenger car and light truck sales in North America, which more than offset the effects of Europe's continued weak economic conditions. Higher sales for safety restraints and turbochargers also contributed to the earnings increase. Income for North American Braking Systems was slightly lower due to the higher costs associated with new product launches. Income for aftermarket products was down due to lower sales. Earnings for engineered materials improved 15 percent reflecting higher sales volumes, manufacturing efficiencies, slightly lower raw material costs, and substantially higher profit contributions from the UOP process technology and Paxon high-density polyethylene joint ventures. Net income of $169 million, or $.60 a share, was favorable compared to last year's loss of $99 million, or $.35 a share. The first quarter of 1993 includes a 'catch-up' charge of $245 million, or $.86 a share, reflecting the adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No.112 -- 'Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits'. Financial Condition March 31, 1994 Compared with December 31, 1993 On March 31, 1994, the Company had $811 million in cash and cash equivalents, compared with $892 million at year-end 1993. The $81 million decrease primarily reflects funding of working capital requirements. The current ratio at March 31, 1994 was 1.3X, the same as at year-end 1993. On March 31, 1994, the Company's long-term debt amounted to $1,552 million, down $50 million from year-end 1993. Total debt of $1,945 million on March 31, 1994 9 was down from $1,960 million at year-end, mainly reflecting a net decrease in borrowings outstanding. The Company's total debt as a percent of capital decreased from 42.7 percent at year-end to 41.1 percent at March 31, 1994. During the first three months of 1994, the Company spent $111 million for capital expenditures, compared with $119 million in the corresponding period in 1993. Spending by the business segments and corporate for the 1994 three month period was as follows: aerospace $30 million; automotive $34 million; engineered materials $46 million; and corporate $1 million.

ELECTION BY PARTICIPANTS All Participants in the Plan as of April 29, 1991 have elected to have Annual Incentive Compensation determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.03(A) of the amended Plan in the event they later became eligible for a benefit under the Plan. Accordingly Section 2.03(B) of the amended Plan as set forth below is no longer applicable to any Participant. 2.03 (B) For all Participants other than those denominated in paragraph (A) of this Section 2.03, the product of (a) times (b) where (a) is the lesser of (i) the average of the percentages applied in determining Incentive awards, with respect to the Determination Year, for employees within the same Salary Grade as the Participant, or if none, for employees in positions similar to the position of the Participant or (ii) the average of the percentages applied in determining the Participant's Incentive award in the last three Determination Years prior to the date of Involuntary Termination (or such lesser period as the Participant may have been employed) and (b) is Annual Base Salary. 17 EX-10 3 EXHIBIT 10.2 Salary Deferral Plan for Selected Employees of AlliedSignal Inc. and its Affiliates (Career Band 6 and above or employees who occupy positions equivalent thereto) Effective 1/1/94 1. ELIGIBILITY Those employees of AlliedSignal Inc. (the 'Corporation') and its affiliates whose positions are evaluated in Career Band 6 and above or who occupy positions equivalent thereto and who are designated by the Management Development and Compensation Committee (the 'Committee'), shall be eligible to participate in this supplemental non-qualified Salary Deferral Plan for Selected Employees of AlliedSignal Inc. and its Affiliates (Career Band 6 and above or employees who occupy positions equivalent thereto) (the 'Plan'). 2. PARTICIPATION An eligible employee may become a participant in the Plan (a 'Participant') by filing a timely written deferral election with the Corporation. Such notice shall direct that a portion of the compensation elements described in paragraph 3(a) and paragraph 3(b) be credited to an unfunded deferred compensation account maintained for the Participant under the Plan (the 'Participant Account' or 'Account'). A Participant's direction shall become effective for the next succeeding pay period or payment date, as appropriate, and shall continue in effect until the employee terminates such direction or is no longer eligible to be a Participant. Any modification of a Participant's direction shall be effective only with respect to compensation payable with respect to pay periods which begin after the date such direction is received by the Corporation or payment dates which occur later in time, and amounts previously credited to the Participant's Account shall not be affected. 3. CONTRIBUTIONS TO PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS (a) Base Annual Salary -- A Participant may, prior to the commencement of any pay period, elect to defer an aggregate amount of base annual salary, exclusive of any bonus or any other compensation or allowance paid or payable by the Corporation or its affiliates (the 'Base Annual Salary'). The amount deferred under this paragraph 3(a) shall not be greater than fifty percent (50%) of the Participant's Base Annual Salary for such pay period. (b) Incentive Awards -- A Participant may, to the extent that the AlliedSignal Inc. Incentive Compensation Plan For 2 Executive Employees (the 'Incentive Plan') permits deferrals of an incentive award (the 'Incentive Award') payable thereunder, elect to defer an amount not greater than one hundred percent of such Incentive Award. Any amount so deferred shall be deemed to be deferred under this Plan but shall, to the extent the provisions of the Incentive Plan are not inconsistent with this Plan, otherwise be subject to the terms of the Incentive Plan. Any deferral of an Incentive Award shall be made by filing an appropriate written deferral election with the Corporation not later than ninety days prior to the end of the performance period with respect to which the Incentive Award is payable. (c) Deferral Amounts -- All amounts determined under this paragraph 3 which are the subject of a written deferral election (the 'Deferral Amounts') shall, in accordance with the relevant Participant direction, be credited to a Participant Account maintained under the Plan on the same day the Base Annual Salary or Incentive Award would otherwise have been payable. 4. DEFERRAL REQUIREMENTS Amounts may be deferred under this Plan for a minimum period of three years. No amount shall be withdrawn from a Participant Account prior to the earlier of: three years following the last day of the calendar year in which the amount is credited to the Participant Account; the date the Participant reaches normal retirement age and is eligible to receive a benefit under a pension plan of the Corporation or one of its affiliates; the date of Participant's death; or the date the Participant ceases to be employed by the Corporation or any of its affiliates. 5. INTEREST EQUIVALENTS Deferral Amounts shall accrue additional amounts equivalent to interest ('Interest Equivalents'), compounded daily, from the date the Deferral Amount is credited to the Account to the date of distribution. A single rate for calculating Interest Equivalents shall be established by the Committee, in its sole discretion, for all Deferral Amounts credited to Participant Accounts in each calendar year. The rate established by the Committee shall not exceed the greater of (i) 10% or (ii) 200% of the 10-year U.S. Treasury Bond rate at the time of determination. Such Interest Equivalents, once established for a calendar year, 3 shall remain in effect with respect to Deferral Amounts credited to Participant Accounts during that calendar year until the Deferral Amounts are distributed. 6. PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS All amounts credited to a Participant's Account pursuant to paragraphs 3 and 4 shall be unfunded general obligations of the Corporation, and no Participant shall have any claim to or security interest in any asset of the Corporation on account thereof. 7. DISTRIBUTION FROM ACCOUNTS At the time a Participant makes an election pursuant to paragraph 3, the Participant shall also make an election with respect to the distribution of the Deferral Amounts and Interest Equivalents accrued thereon which are credited to the Participant's Account pursuant to such election. A Participant may elect to receive such distribution in one lump-sum payment or in a number of approximately equal annual payments (provided the payment period may not include more than fifteen such installments). The lump-sum or the first installment shall be paid as soon as practicable during the month of January of the calendar year designated by the Participant. Except as otherwise provided in paragraphs 8 and 9, all installment payments following the initial installment payment shall be paid in cash as soon as practicable during the month of January of each succeeding calendar year until the entire amount in the Account shall have been paid. 8. DISTRIBUTION ON DEATH If a Participant should die before all amounts credited to the Participant's Account have been distributed, the balance in the Account shall be paid as soon as practical thereafter to the beneficiary designated in writing by the Participant. Payments to a beneficiary pursuant to a designation by a Participant shall be in such form as the Participant shall elect, including periodic payments as described in paragraph 7, but in the absence of any such election, the payment shall be made in one lump sum to the designated beneficiary as soon as practicable following the death of the Participant. Such beneficiary designations shall be effective when received by the Corporation, and shall remain in effect until rescinded or 4 modified by the Participant by an appropriate written direction. If no beneficiary is properly designated by the Participant or if the designated beneficiary shall have predeceased the Participant, such balance in the Account shall be paid to the estate of the Participant. 9. CHANGE IN CONTROL (a) Initial Lump Sum Election -- Notwithstanding any election made pursuant to paragraph 7, a Participant may file a written election with the Corporation to have the Deferral Amounts and Interest Equivalents accrued thereon which are credited thereafter to the Participant's Account paid in one lump-sum payment as soon as practicable following a Change in Control, but in no event later than 90 days after such Change in Control. (b) Revocation of Lump-Sum Election -- A Participant may revoke an election made pursuant to paragraph 9(a) by filing an appropriate written notice with the Corporation. A revocation notice filed pursuant to this paragraph 9(b) shall be effective with respect to Deferral Amounts and Interest Equivalents accrued thereon which are credited thereafter to the Participant's Account. (c) Limitation on Elections -- Any election made pursuant to paragraphs 9(a) or 9(b) shall not be effective unless filed with the Corporation at least 90 days prior to a Change in Control. (d) Definition of Change in Control -- For purposes of the Plan, a Change in Control is deemed to occur at the time (i) when any entity, person or group (other than the Corporation, any subsidiary or savings, pension or other benefit plan for the benefit of employees of the Corporation or its subsidiaries) which theretofore beneficially owned less than 30% of the Corporation's common stock (the 'Common Stock') then outstanding, acquires shares of Common Stock in a transaction or a series of transactions that results in such entity, person or group directly or indirectly owning beneficially 30% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, (ii) of the purchase of Common Stock pursuant to a tender offer or exchange offer (other than an offer by the Corporation) for all, or any part of, the Common Stock ('Offer'), (iii) of a merger in which the Corporation will not survive as an independent, publicly owned corporation, a consolidation, a sale, exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Corporation's assets, (iv) of a substantial change 5 in the composition of the Board during any period of two consecutive years such that individuals who at the beginning of such period were members of the Board cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof, unless the election, or the nomination for election by the shareowners of the Corporation, of each new director was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then still in office who were directors at the beginning of the period, or (v) of any transaction or other event which the Committee, in its sole discretion, determines to be a Change in Control for purposes of the Plan. 10. MISCELLANEOUS (a) No Alienation of Benefits -- Except insofar as may otherwise be required by law, no amount payable at any time under the Plan shall be subject in any manner to alienation by anticipation, sale, transfer, assignment, bankruptcy, pledge, attachment, charge, or encumbrance of any kind nor in any manner be subject to the debts or liabilities of any person and any attempt to so alienate or subject any such amount, whether presently or thereafter payable, shall be void. If any person shall attempt to, or shall alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, attach, charge, or otherwise encumber any amount payable under the Plan, or any part thereof, or if by reason of such person's bankruptcy or other event happening at any such time such amount would be made subject to the person's debts or liabilities or would otherwise not be enjoyed by that person, then the Corporation, if it so elects, may direct that such amount be withheld and that same or any part thereof be paid or applied to or for the benefit of such person, the person's spouse, children or other dependents, or any of them, in such manner and proportion as the Corporation may deem proper. (b) No Right or Interest in Corporation's Assets -- Neither the Corporation nor any of its Affiliates shall be required to reserve or otherwise set aside funds for the payment of obligations arising under this Plan. The Corporation may, in its sole discretion, establish funds, segregate assets or take such other action as it shall determine necessary or appropriate to secure the payment of its obligations arising under this Plan. Nothing contained herein, and no action taken pursuant to the provisions of this Plan shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship between the Corporation and any Participant or any other person. To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive 6 payments under this Plan, such right shall be no greater than the right of an unsecured creditor of the Corporation. (c) Administration -- The Corporation shall have sole discretion and authority to administer the Plan, including the authority to interpret its terms, promulgate regulations thereunder, determine eligibility to participate in the Plan and make any finding of fact which may be necessary to determine the obligation of the Plan with respect to the payment of benefits. (d) Amendment -- The Corporation may amend, modify or terminate the Plan at any time, or from time to time; provided, however, that no change to the Plan shall impair the right of any Participant with respect to amounts then credited to an Account. (e) Accounting -- Each Participant shall receive periodic statements (not less frequently than annually) setting forth the cumulative Deferral Amounts and Interest Equivalents credited to, and any distributions from, the Participant's Account. (f) Facility of Payments -- If the Corporation shall find that any person to whom any amount is payable under the Plan is unable to care for his or her affairs because of illness or accident, or is a minor, or has died, then any payment due the person or the person's estate (unless a prior claim therefor has been made by a duly appointed legal representative), may, if the Corporation so elects in its sole discretion, be paid to the person's spouse, a child, a relative, an institution having custody of such person, or any other person deemed by the Corporation to be a proper recipient on behalf of such person otherwise entitled to payment. Any such payment shall be a complete discharge of the liability of the Corporation and the Plan therefor. (g) Governing Law -- The Plan is intended to constitute an unfunded deferred compensation arrangement for a select group of management or highly compensated personnel and all rights thereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of New York. 7 EX-15 4 EXHIBIT 15 EXHIBIT 15 May 6, 1994 Securities and Exchange Commission 450 Fifth Street Washington, D.C. 20549 Ladies and Gentlemen: We are aware that the March 31, 1994 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of AlliedSignal Inc. which includes our report dated April 21, 1994 (issued pursuant to the provisions of Statement on Auditing Standards Nos. 42 and 71) will be incorporated by reference in the Prospectuses constituting part of AlliedSignal Inc.'s Registration Statements, on Forms S-8 (Nos. 33-09896, 33-30885, 33-50314, 33-55410, 33-51031, 33-51455 and 33-65792), on Forms S-3 (Nos. 33-00631, 33-13211 and 33-14071) and on Form S-8 (filed as an amendment to Form S-14, No. 2-99416-01).
