                             CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS
                 FOR PURPOSES OF THE SAFE HARBOR PROVISIONS OF
              THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995
 
    Honeywell may occasionally make statements regarding its businesses and
their respective markets, such as projections of future performance, statements
of management's plans and objectives, future contracts, forecasts of market
trends and other matters, which to the extent they are not historical fact, may
constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Statements containing the words or
phrases "will likely result", "are expected to," "will continue," "outlook," "is
anticipated," "estimate," "project" or similar expressions, which may appear in
certain documents, reports (including but not limited to those filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission), press releases, and written or oral
presentations made by officers of the company to analysts, shareholders,
investors, news organizations and others, identify such forward-looking
statements. No assurance can be given that the results in any forward-looking
statements will be achieved and actual results could be affected by one or more
factors which could cause them to differ materially. Therefore, Honeywell wishes
to ensure that any written or oral forward-looking statements made by it or on
its behalf, are accompanied by, or referenced to, meaningful cautionary
statements in order to maximize to the fullest extent possible the protections
of the safe harbor established in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995.
 
    All forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of Honeywell are hereby
qualified in their entirety by reference to the following important factors,
among others, that could affect the company's businesses and cause actual
results to differ materially from those projected. Any forward-looking statement
speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and Honeywell
undertakes no obligation to update such statement to reflect events or
circumstances arising after such date.
 
    FOREIGN SALES.  A significant portion of Honeywell's revenues are generated
from international business operations. Changes in trade, monetary policies and
regulatory requirements of the United States and other nations (e.g. the
adoption of the EURO currency by the European Monetary Union), as well as
political instability in certain regions may affect Honeywell's international
business. Many of Honeywell's sales outside the United States are denominated in
local currencies; therefore, exchange rate fluctuations may affect overall
financial performance.
 
    PROJECT MANAGEMENT.  Performance related programs and retrofit projects have
increasingly become an integral part of Honeywell's businesses. The success of
some of these programs may depend in part on the performance of third parties.
Honeywell manages its businesses in such a manner as to minimize the potential
impact of performance; nonetheless, bid variances, third party labor disputes,
and the availability, quality and timely delivery of supplies are factors that
could affect the company's ability to manage these programs within their
budgetary guidelines.
 
    COMPETITION.  Honeywell's businesses are subject to various competitive
pressures, including but not limited to, the introduction of new competitive
technologies, industry consolidation, the growing acceptance of open systems
environments and the deregulation of certain industries. Developments in these
areas may influence Honeywell's strategies in certain markets and create new
challenges or opportunities.
 
    HUMAN RESOURCES.  Innovative products and solutions are continuously
developed by Honeywell's businesses for application in the markets they serve.
Highly trained technical and managerial employees are required for this effort,
and Honeywell's ability to manage its businesses successfully depends, in part,
on its ability to attract and retain such people. Shortages of skilled personnel
or

negative compensation trends are factors that can affect the availability of
such people or increase Honeywell's costs in attracting and retaining employees.
In certain foreign markets, local labor rates and practices may affect
Honeywell's operating costs or its ability to conduct business in such areas.
 
    REGULATORY ORGANIZATIONS.  In many of the domestic and foreign markets in
which Honeywell competes, such as aviation, building control, processing and
refining, government regulation is extensive. Compliance with safety or
environmental standards, may impact Honeywell in those markets by increasing
Honeywell's costs or alternately, by providing opportunities for Honeywell to
provide solutions for customers affected thereby.
 
    Also, certain other regulatory organizations such as the Fair Accounting
Standards Board and the American Institute of Certified Professional Accounts,
may from time to time, promulgate rules and regulations which may impact the
Honeywell's accounting policies in the U.S. and abroad.
 
    TECHNOLOGY.  Honeywell's products and services are based on innovative
technologies developed by the company or licensed from others. To the extent the
company can secure intellectual property protection for products it develops, it
may be able to enhance its competitive position in certain markets. Honeywell's
ability to obtain licenses from third parties for other key technologies, or to
develop new technologies or solutions independently or through collaborative
efforts can impact the company's businesses.
 
    CUSTOMER TRENDS.  The demand for Honeywell's products is subject to the
demands in major customer markets. For example, the requirements of major
airlines for new aircraft may affect the demand for avionics and cockpit
controls produced by Honeywell's Space and Aviation Control business; new
construction or modernization activity may influence the demand for products and
services provided by the Home and Building Control business; the demand for new
or modernized processing plants in certain industrial sector markets may affect
Honeywell's Industrial Control business. The company endeavors to forecast such
demands, but unforeseen general economic conditions in the United States and
internationally, as well as industry specific factors, may affect such
forecasts.
 
    CHARGES RESULTING FROM ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES.  Honeywell continually
evaluates the growth potential and profitability of its existing businesses, and
equity and other investments. When deemed appropriate, Honeywell will acquire
new businesses to expand its product offerings, increase or decrease its
investments, and divest assets (e.g., buildings, product lines, etc.) and
existing businesses which are no longer considered a strategic fit or do not
continue to create value consistent with company objectives. Decisions to sell
assets or divest businesses could result in future gains or charges depending on
the circumstances.
 
    The foregoing factors are not exhaustive and new factors may emerge which
impact Honeywell's businesses. It is impossible for management to predict such
factors, therefore, forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as a
prediction of actual future results.
