Contributions and Vesting. All participants may elect, through payroll deductions, to make tax-deferred contributions of between $2 per week and a maximum amount as permitted by the relevant collective bargaining agreement. Certain participants, depending on their collective bargaining agreement, may also make after-tax contributions. Participants direct the investment of their contributions into various investment options offered by the Plan. The Plan currently offers ten mutual funds, four commingled index funds, one stable value fund, and a company stock fund as investment options for participants. Participant contributions, plus actual earnings thereon, are fully vested at all times under the Plan. The employer will contribute specified amounts to the Plan in accordance with the terms outlined in each collective bargaining agreement. Generally, employer contributions, plus actual earnings thereon, become fully vested after two years of Plan participation.

Participant Accounts. Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contributions and allocations of (a) UTC's contributions based on a percentage of the participant's contribution and (b) Plan earnings based on account balances. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant's vested account. Forfeited balances of terminated participants' nonvested amounts are used to reduce future employer contributions. For the year ended December 31, 2000, approximately $39,000 of forfeitures were used to fund employer contributions.

Trustee and Recordkeeper. All of the Plan's assets are held by Bankers Trust Company ("Bankers Trust"), the Plan Trustee. Bankers Trust is a subsidiary of Deutsche Bank.  Fidelity Institutional Retirement Services Company ("Fidelity") performs participant account recordkeeping responsibilities.

Participant Loans. Certain participants with at least two years of Plan participation are allowed to borrow up to 50 percent of their vested account balances. Loan amounts can range from $1,000 to $50,000 and must be repaid within 5 years. The loans are secured by the balance in the participant's account and bear interest at Deutsche Bank's prime rate plus one percent. Principal and interest are paid ratably through payroll deductions.

Payment of Benefits. Generally, benefits are paid in a lump sum to a terminating participant. A participant terminating due to retirement may elect to receive benefits in installments over two to twenty years. At the participant's election, the portion of a lump sum distribution attributable to an investment in the UTC Common Stock Fund investment option may be paid in shares of UTC Common Stock instead of cash. Distributions in UTC Common Stock for the year ended December 31, 2000 were approximately $1,000.

Other. Participants who transfer to a new UTC location with a different savings plan may have the option of transferring their account balances in accordance with the provisions of the new savings plan.

Basis of Accounting. The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual method of accounting, except for benefits which are recorded when paid.

Master Trust. The Plan's assets are kept in a Master Trust maintained by the Plan's trustee. Under the Master Trust agreement, the assets of certain employee savings plans of UTC and its subsidiaries are combined. Participating plans purchase units of participation in the investment funds based on their contribution to such funds and the unit value of the applicable investment fund at the end of the trading day in which a transaction occurs. The unit value of each fund is determined at the close of each day by dividing the sum of uninvested cash, accrued income and the current value of investments by the total number of outstanding units in such funds. Income from the funds' investments increases the participating plans' unit values. Distributions to participants reduce the number of participation units held by the participating plans (see Note 5).

Investment Valuation and Income Recognition. The Income Fund's investments in insurance contracts (see Note 4) are stated at contract value, which represents contributions plus earnings, less Plan withdrawals. All other funds are stated at fair value, as determined by the Trustee, typically by reference to published market data.

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Plan Expenses. Plan administrative expenses, including the Plan's trustee and recordkeeping fees, were paid directly by the employer in 2000. The employer also paid certain investment management fees for the funds administered by Deutsche Asset Management. All other administrative and investment expenses were paid out of Plan assets.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements requires UTC to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 3 - INVESTMENTS

The following presents investments that represent 5 percent or more of the Plan's net assets:

The Plan's Income Fund invests in insurance contracts with insurance companies. Under these contracts, each insurance company guarantees repayment in full of the principal amount plus interest credited at a fixed rate for a specified period. Interest is credited to each contract based on an annual interest rate set each year by the individual insurance companies. This rate, which differs among contracts, takes into account any difference between prior year credited interest and the actual amount of investment earnings allocable to the contract in accordance with the established allocation procedures of the insurance company. The interest rates earned for 2000 and 1999 were 8.3% and 8.1%, respectively.

UTC has entered into a Master Trust agreement with Bankers Trust. Under this agreement, certain savings plans of UTC and its subsidiaries combine their trust fund investments in the Master Trust.

Participating plans purchase units of participation in the investment funds based on their contribution to such funds along with income that the investment funds may earn, less distributions made to the plan participants.

At December 31, 2000, the Plan's interest in the Master Trust comprised 7,007,222 units of the 519,377,890 total units of participation, or 1.35%. At December 31, 1999, the Plan's interest in the Master Trust comprised 6,019,084 units of the total 510,203,518 units of participation, or 1.18%.

Certain Plan investment options are managed by Deutsche Asset Management and Fidelity. Bankers Trust, a subsidiary of Deutsche Bank, and Fidelity are the Plan's trustee and recordkeeper, respectively, as defined by the Plan and, therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions.

NOTE 7 - PLAN TERMINATION

Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, UTC has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, participants will become 100 percent vested in their accounts.

NOTE 8 - TAX STATUS

The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed UTC by letter dated September 23, 1996 that the Plan and related trust are designed in accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC"). The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letters. However, the Plan administrator and tax counsel believe that the Plan is designed and currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC.
