Table of Contents
Segment financial data for the years 2004 through 2006, including financial information about foreign and domestic operations and export sales, appears in Note 15 of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in our 2006 Annual Report.
Otis
Otis is the world’s largest elevator and escalator manufacturing, installation and service company. Otis designs, manufactures, sells and installs a wide range of passenger and freight elevators for low-, medium- and high-speed applications, as well as a broad line of escalators and moving walkways. In addition to new equipment, Otis provides modernization products to upgrade elevators and escalators as well as maintenance services for both its products and those of other manufacturers. Otis serves customers in the commercial and residential property industries around the world. Sales are made both directly to the customers and, to a limited extent, through sales representatives and distributors.
Revenues generated by Otis’ international operations were 80 percent of total Otis segment revenues in 2006 and 2005. At December 31, 2006, Otis’ business backlog was $11,583 million as compared to $10,243 million at December 31, 2005. Due to an industry-wide progression to longer term maintenance contracts in recent years, in 2006, Otis re-evaluated the factors used to calculate service contract backlog. The backlog amounts above reflect this re-evaluation, which resulted in increased backlog figures. We believe these figures more accurately reflect the current outstanding service contract backlog. Calculated as previously reported, backlog would have been $6,750 million and $5,807 million at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Of the total Otis backlog at December 31, 2006, approximately $7,200 million is expected to be realized as sales in 2007.
Carrier
Carrier is the world’s largest manufacturer and distributor of HVAC and refrigeration systems. It also produces food service equipment and HVAC and refrigeration related controls for residential, commercial, industrial and transportation applications. Carrier also provides installation, retrofit and aftermarket services and components for the products it sells and those of other manufacturers in the HVAC and refrigeration industries. Carrier’s products and services are sold under Carrier and other brand names to building contractors and owners, homeowners, transportation companies, retail stores and food service companies. Sales are made both directly to the customer and through manufacturer representatives, distributors, wholesalers, dealers and retail outlets. Certain of Carrier’s HVAC businesses are seasonal and can be impacted by weather.
Revenues generated by Carrier’s international operations, including U.S. export sales, were 54 percent and 55 percent of total Carrier segment revenues in 2006 and 2005, respectively. At December 31, 2006, Carrier’s business backlog was $1,852 million as compared to $2,099 million at December 31, 2005. Substantially all the business backlog at December 31, 2006 is expected to be realized as sales in 2007.
UTC Fire & Security
UTC Fire & Security (UTC F&S) is a global provider of security and fire safety products and services. We created the UTC F&S segment in the second quarter of 2005 upon acquiring Kidde plc. The UTC F&S segment includes our former Chubb segment, Kidde’s industrial, retail and commercial fire safety businesses and Lenel Systems International, Inc., a leader in the development and delivery of scalable, integrated security software systems and business solutions. In the electronic security industry, UTC F&S provides system integration, installation and service of intruder alarms, access control systems and video surveillance systems. In the fire safety industry, UTC F&S designs, manufactures, integrates, installs and services fire and specialty hazard detection and fixed suppression systems and manufactures, sells and services portable fire extinguishers and other fire fighting equipment. UTC F&S also provides monitoring, response and security personnel services, including cash-in-transit security, to complement its electronic security and fire safety products. Its products and services are used by governments, financial institutions, architects, building owners and developers, security and fire consultants and other end-users requiring a high level of security and fire protection for their businesses and residences.
UTC F&S provides its products and services under Chubb, Kidde, Lenel and other brand names and sells directly to the customer as well as through manufacturer representatives, distributors and dealers. Revenues generated by UTC F&S’s international operations were 84 percent and 87 percent of total UTC F&S segment revenues in 2006 and 2005, respectively. At December 31, 2006, UTC F&S’s business backlog was $692 million as compared to $582 million at December 31, 2005. Substantially all the business backlog at December 31, 2006 is expected to be realized as sales in 2007.

Pratt & Whitney
Pratt & Whitney is among the world’s leading suppliers of commercial, general aviation and military aircraft engines. Pratt & Whitney’s Global Service Partners provides maintenance, repair and overhaul services, including the sale of spare parts, as well as fleet management services. Pratt & Whitney produces families of engines for wide, narrow body and military aircraft that power both Boeing and Airbus aircraft. Pratt & Whitney also sells engines for auxiliary power units, industrial applications and space propulsion systems. Pratt & Whitney Canada (P&WC) is a world leader for engines powering business, regional, light jet, utility and military aircraft and helicopters. Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne (PWR) is a leader in the design, development and manufacture of sophisticated aerospace propulsion systems for military and commercial applications, including the space shuttle.
In view of the risk and cost associated with developing new engines, Pratt & Whitney has entered into collaboration arrangements in which revenues, costs and risks are shared. At December 31, 2006, the interests of participants in current Pratt & Whitney-directed commercial jet engine production programs ranged from 14 to 29 percent. In addition, Pratt & Whitney has interests in other programs. These include a 33 percent interest in the International Aero Engines (IAE) collaboration that sells and supports V2500 engines for the A320 family of aircraft and a 50 percent interest in the Engine Alliance (EA) with GE Aviation to develop, market and manufacture the GP7000 engine for the A380 aircraft. At December 31, 2006, other participants held interests totaling 40 percent of Pratt & Whitney’s share of the EA. Flight testing of the GP7000 commenced in 2006. European Aviation Safety Agency certification of the A380 aircraft with the GP7000 engines is expected in 2007, with expected entry into service in 2008.
In terms of engine development programs, Pratt & Whitney is under contract with the U.S. Air Force to develop the F135 engine, a derivative of Pratt & Whitney’s F119 engine, to power the single-engine F-35 Lightning II aircraft being developed by Lockheed Martin. In addition, Pratt & Whitney is currently developing technology, including testing of a geared turbofan, which is intended to enable it to power the next generation A320 and 737 aircraft. Pratt & Whitney has also initiated the Advantage 70 program, which is intended to enhance its PW4000 engine for the A330 aircraft by reducing maintenance and fuel costs and increasing thrust. PWR is developing a liquid fuel J-2x engine to support NASA’s vision for space exploration. P&WC is developing the PW600 engine series for the very light jet market. Two of the engine models have been certified to power Cessna Aircraft’s Citation Mustang and Eclipse Aviation’s Eclipse 500. A third engine model is expected to be certified in 2007 to power the Embraer Phenom 100. P&WC is also developing the PW210 engine for Sikorsky’s S-76D helicopter. IAE is developing the V2500 Select as a follow-on to its V2500 engine. Pratt & Whitney continues to enhance its programs through performance improvement measures and product base expansion. During 2006, Pratt & Whitney launched Global Material Solutions (GMS), a new business that intends to engineer, certify, manufacture, sell, distribute and service new original equipment parts, including life limited parts, for CFM56®-3 engines.
Pratt & Whitney’s products are sold principally to aircraft manufacturers, airlines and other aircraft operators, aircraft leasing companies, space launch vehicle providers and U.S. and foreign governments. The vast majority of sales are made directly to the customer and, to a limited extent, through independent distributors or foreign sales representatives. Sales to Airbus and Boeing were 12 and 6 percent, respectively, of total Pratt & Whitney revenues in 2006, before taking into account discounts or financial incentives offered to customers. Sales to the U.S. government were 33 percent of total Pratt & Whitney revenues in 2006.
Revenues from Pratt & Whitney’s international operations, including U.S. exports, were 53 percent and 54 percent of total Pratt & Whitney segment revenues in 2006 and 2005, respectively. At December 31, 2006, Pratt & Whitney’s business backlog was $16,893 million, including $2,895 million of U.S. government funded contracts and subcontracts, as compared to $17,834 million and $2,959 million, respectively, at December 31, 2005. Of the total Pratt & Whitney backlog at December 31, 2006, approximately $6,118 million is expected to be realized as sales in 2007. During 2006, P&WC began including an estimate of the net realizable value of all future sales remaining on long term aftermarket maintenance agreements in the business backlog, consistent with Pratt & Whitney’s practice. As these contracts are sole source and represent an increasing portion of Pratt & Whitney’s aftermarket business, management believes their inclusion provides a more accurate representation of the business backlog. Calculated as previously reported, backlog would have been $15,836 million and $16,831 million at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Pratt & Whitney’s backlog includes certain contracts for which actual costs may ultimately exceed total revenues. See Note 1 to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2006 Annual Report for a description of our accounting for long-term contracts.

Hamilton Sundstrand’s aerospace products, such as power generation management and distribution systems, flight systems, engine control systems, environmental control systems, fire protection and detection systems, auxiliary power units and propeller systems, serve commercial, military, regional, business and general aviation, as well as space and undersea applications. Aftermarket services include spare parts, overhaul and repair, engineering and technical support and fleet maintenance programs. Hamilton Sundstrand sells aerospace products to airframe manufacturers, the U.S. and foreign governments, aircraft operators and independent distributors. Hamilton Sundstrand sales of aerospace products to Boeing, Airbus and Pratt & Whitney, collectively, including sales where the U.S. government was the ultimate customer, were 17% percent of Hamilton Sundstrand segment sales in 2006.
Hamilton Sundstrand is engaged in development programs for the Boeing 787 aircraft, the Airbus A380 aircraft, the F-35 Lightning II military aircraft and the A400M military aircraft. Hamilton Sundstrand is also the prime contractor for NASA’s space suit/life support system and produces environmental monitoring and control, life support, mechanical systems and thermal control systems for the space shuttle, international space station and the Orion crew exploration vehicle.
Hamilton Sundstrand’s principal industrial products, such as air compressors, metering pumps and fluid handling equipment, serve industries involved with raw material processing, bulk material handling, construction, hydrocarbon and chemical processing, and water and wastewater treatment. These products are sold under the Sullair, Sundyne, Milton Roy and other brand names directly to end-users, through manufacturer representatives and distributors.
Revenues generated by Hamilton Sundstrand’s international operations, including U.S. export sales, were 47 percent and 45 percent of total Hamilton Sundstrand segment revenues in 2006 and 2005, respectively. At December 31, 2006, Hamilton Sundstrand’s business backlog was $4,527 million, including $725 million under U.S. government funded contracts and subcontracts, as compared to $3,700 million and $708 million, respectively, at December 31, 2005. Of the total Hamilton Sundstrand backlog at December 31, 2006, approximately $2,600 million is expected to be realized as sales in 2007. During 2006, Hamilton Sundstrand began including an estimate of the net realizable value of all future sales remaining on long term aftermarket maintenance agreements in the business backlog. As these contracts are sole source and represent an increasing portion of Hamilton Sundstrand’s aftermarket business, management believes their inclusion provides a more accurate representation of the business backlog. Calculated as previously reported, backlog would have been $3,015 million and $2,823 million at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Sikorsky
Sikorsky is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of military and commercial helicopters and also provides aftermarket helicopter and aircraft parts and services.
Current production programs at Sikorsky include the UH-60L and UH-60M Black Hawk medium-transport helicopters for the U.S. and foreign governments, the MH-60S and MH-60R helicopters for the U.S. Navy, the International Naval Hawk for multiple naval missions, and the S-76 and the S-92 helicopters for commercial operations. In June 2005, the U.S. Army awarded Sikorsky a low rate initial production contract for new UH-60M Black Hawk advanced utility helicopters. This contract is the last phase before the Army makes the full rate production decision. In April 2006, Sikorsky was awarded a System Development and Demonstration contract for the U.S. Marine Corps CH-53K next generation heavy lift helicopter. Development of the H-92 helicopter for military markets and the S-76D helicopter, which is expected to be the next generation of the S-76 helicopter, is in process.
In December 2006, Sikorsky entered into an agreement to acquire the Polish aircraft manufacturer, PZL Mielec, which is intended to form the foundation for Sikorsky’s European operations. This acquisition is expected to close in the first half of 2007, subject to regulatory and other customary conditions.
Sikorsky’s aftermarket business includes spare parts sales, overhaul and repair services, maintenance contracts, and logistics support programs for helicopters and other aircraft. Sales are made directly by Sikorsky and by its subsidiaries and joint ventures. Sikorsky is increasingly engaging in logistics support programs and partnering with its government and commercial customers to manage and provide maintenance and repair services.

Revenues generated by Sikorsky’s international operations, including U.S. export sales, were 34 percent and 31 percent of total Sikorsky revenues in 2006 and 2005, respectively. At December 31, 2006, Sikorsky’s business backlog was $8,789 million, including $3,257 million under U.S. government funded contracts and subcontracts, as compared to $7,531 million and $2,261 million, respectively, at December 31, 2005. Of the total Sikorsky backlog at December 31, 2006, approximately $3,800 million is expected to be realized as sales in 2007.
Other
UTC Power develops and markets distributed generation power systems and fuel cell power plants for stationary, transportation, space and defense applications. UTC Power’s three primary distributed generation product lines, PureCell 200 fuel cell power plants, PureComfort combined cooling, heat and power systems and PureCycle geothermal organic Rankine cycle power systems, are designed to provide reliable, efficient and environmentally responsible energy solutions for customers.
UTC Power’s automotive and bus transportation fuel cell power plants are based on proton exchange membrane (PEM) technology, including its PureMotion 120 power plant, which is currently used in revenue service in transit bus applications. UTC Power is currently developing PEM fuel cells for submarine applications. UTC Power’s alkaline-based fuel cells are used on NASA’s space shuttle program.
Although fuel cells are believed to be superior to conventional power generation technologies in terms of efficiency and environmental characteristics, the technology is still in development and continued technology advancement and cost reduction of key fuel cell components are required to achieve wide-scale market acceptance. Government support is needed to advance fuel cell technology to a truly commercial stage. There is still significant uncertainty as to whether and when commercially viable PEM fuel cells will be produced.
UTC Power and its related UTC Fuel Cells unit merged effective January 1, 2007. The results of UTC Power and UTC Fuel Cells are included in the “Eliminations and other” category in the segment financial data in Note 15 of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in our 2006 Annual Report.
Other Matters Relating to Our Business as a Whole
Competition and Other Factors Affecting Our Businesses
As worldwide businesses, our operations can be affected by a variety of economic and other factors, including those described in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our 2006 Annual Report, in this Item 1 under the heading “Other Matters Relating to Our Business as a Whole”, in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” and in “Cautionary Note Concerning Factors That May Affect Future Results” in this Form 10-K. Each business unit is subject to significant competition from a large number of companies in the United States and other countries, and each competes on the basis of price, delivery schedule, product performance and service.
Our aerospace businesses are subject to substantial competition from domestic manufacturers, foreign manufacturers (whose governments sometimes provide research and development assistance, marketing subsidies and other assistance for their commercial products) and companies that obtain regulatory agency approval to manufacture spare parts. In particular, Pratt & Whitney experiences intense competition for new commercial airframe/engine combinations. Engine suppliers may offer substantial discounts and other financial incentives, performance and operating cost guarantees, participation in financing arrangements and maintenance agreements. Customer selections of engines and components can also have a significant impact on later sales of parts and services. In addition, the U.S. and other governments’ policies of purchasing parts from suppliers other than the original equipment manufacturer affect military spare parts sales. Significant elements of our aerospace businesses, such as spare parts sales for engines and aircraft in service, have short lead times. Therefore, backlog information may not be indicative of future demand. Pratt & Whitney’s major competitors in the sale of engines are GE Aviation and Rolls Royce plc. For information regarding customer financing commitments, participation in guarantees of customer financing arrangements and performance and operating cost guarantees, see Notes 4 and 13 of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in our 2006 Annual Report.
Research and Development
Since changes in technology can have a significant impact on our operations and competitive position, we spend substantial amounts of our own funds on research and development. These expenditures, which are charged to expense as incurred, were $1,529 million, or 3.2 percent of total sales in 2006, as compared with $1,367 million or 3.2 percent of total
- 5 -
Table of Contents
sales in 2005 and $1,267 million or 3.5 percent of total sales in 2004. We also perform research and development work under contracts funded by the U.S. government and other customers. This contract research and development, which is performed principally in the Pratt & Whitney segment and to a lesser extent in the Hamilton Sundstrand and Sikorsky segments, amounted to $1,952 million in 2006, as compared with $1,650 million in 2005 and $1,619 million in 2004. These contract research and development costs include amounts that are expensed as incurred, through cost of products sold, and amounts that are capitalized into inventory to be subsequently recovered through production aircraft shipments. Of the totals, $1,621 million, $1,478 million and $1,585 million were expensed in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The remaining costs have been capitalized.
U.S. Government Contracts
U.S. government contracts are subject to termination by the government, either for the convenience of the government or for default as a result of our failure to perform under the applicable contract. In the case of a termination for convenience, we would normally be entitled to reimbursement for our allowable costs incurred, plus termination costs and a reasonable profit. If terminated by the government as a result of our default, we could be liable for additional costs the government incurs in acquiring undelivered goods or services from another source and any other damages it suffers. Most of our U.S. government sales are made under fixed-price type contracts, while approximately $2.1 billion of our total sales for 2006 were made under cost-reimbursement type contracts.
Our contracts with the U.S. government are also subject to audits. Like many defense contractors, we have received audit reports from the U.S. government which recommend that we reduce certain contract prices because cost or pricing data we submitted in negotiation of the contract prices or cost accounting practices may not have conformed to government regulations. Some of these audit reports have involved substantial amounts. We have made voluntary refunds in those cases we believe appropriate, have settled some allegations and we continue to litigate certain cases. For further discussion of risks related to government contracting, see the discussion in Item 1A, “Risk Factors” and Item 3 “Legal Proceedings” in this Form 10-K and Note 14 of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in our 2006 Annual Report for further discussion.
Compliance with Environmental and Other Government Regulations
Our operations are subject to and affected by environmental regulation by federal, state and local authorities in the United States and regulatory authorities with jurisdiction over our foreign operations. We have incurred and will likely continue to incur liabilities under various government statutes for the cleanup of pollutants previously released into the environment. We do not anticipate that compliance with current provisions relating to the protection of the environment or that any payments we may be required to make for cleanup liabilities will have a material adverse effect upon our cash flows, competitive position, financial condition or results of operations. Environmental matters are further addressed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and Notes 1 and 14 of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in our 2006 Annual Report.
Most of the U.S. laws governing environmental matters include criminal provisions. If we were convicted of a violation of the federal Clean Air Act or the Clean Water Act, the facility or facilities involved in the violation would be ineligible to be used in performing any U.S. government contract we are awarded until the Environmental Protection Agency certified that the condition giving rise to the violation had been corrected.
We conduct our businesses through subsidiaries and affiliates worldwide. Changes in legislation or government policies can affect our worldwide operations. For example, governmental regulation of refrigerants and energy efficiency standards, elevator safety codes and fire safety regulations are important to the businesses of Carrier, Otis and UTC F&S respectively, while government safety and performance regulations, restrictions on aircraft engine noise and emissions and government procurement practices can impact our aerospace businesses.
Intellectual Property and Raw Materials
We maintain a portfolio of patents, trademarks, licenses and franchises related to our businesses. While this portfolio is cumulatively important to our business, we do not believe that the loss of any one or group of related patents, trademarks, licenses or franchises would have a material adverse effect on our overall business or on any of our operating segments.
We believe we have adequate sources for our purchases of materials, components, services and supplies used in our manufacturing. We work continuously with our supply base to ensure an adequate source of supply and to reduce costs. We pursue cost reductions through a number of mechanisms, including consolidating our purchases, reducing the number of suppliers, strategic global sourcing and using online bidding competitions among potential suppliers. In some instances, we depend upon a single source of supply or participate in commodity markets that may be subject to allocations by suppliers. Like other users in the U.S., we are largely dependent upon foreign sources for certain raw materials requirements such as cobalt (Finland, Norway, Russia and Canada), tantalum (Australia and Canada), chromium (South Africa, Kazakhstan, Zimbabwe and Russia) and rhenium (Chile, Kazakhstan and Germany). We have a number of ongoing programs to manage
- 6 -

this dependence and the accompanying risk, including long-term agreements and the conservation of materials through scrap reclamation and new manufacturing processes. We believe that our supply management practices are based on an appropriate balancing of the foreseeable risks and the costs of alternative practices. Although recent high prices for some raw materials important to some of our businesses (steel, copper, aluminum, titanium and nickel) have caused margin and cost pressures, we do not foresee any near term unavailability of materials, components or supplies that would have an adverse effect on our business, or on any of our business segments.

At December 31, 2006, our total employment was approximately 214,500, approximately 66 percent of which represents employees based outside the United States. During 2006, we renegotiated twenty multi-year collective bargaining agreements, the largest of which covered certain workers at Sikorsky and Carrier. In 2007, numerous collective bargaining agreements are subject to renegotiation, the largest of which cover certain workers at Hamilton Sundstrand, Otis and Pratt & Whitney. We do not anticipate any problems in renegotiating these contracts that would either individually, or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. For discussion of the effects of our restructuring actions on employment, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and Note 11 of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in our 2006 Annual Report.
For a discussion of other matters which may affect our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, including the risks of our international operations, see the further discussion under the headings “General” and “Description of Business by Segment” in this section and Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in this Form 10-K and in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2006 Annual Report.

Our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows can be impacted by a number of factors, including, but not limited to those set forth below, any one of which could cause our actual results to vary materially from recent results or from our anticipated future results. For a discussion identifying additional risk factors and important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated, see the discussion in “Other Matters Relating to Our Business as a Whole” and “Cautionary Note Concerning Factors That May Affect Future Results” in this Form 10-K and in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in our 2006 Annual Report.
Our Financial Performance Is Dependent on the Conditions of the Aerospace and Construction Industries
The results of our commercial and military aerospace businesses, which generated 37 percent of our revenues in 2006, are directly tied to the economic conditions in the commercial aviation and defense industries. The aviation industry is cyclical, and capital spending by airlines and aircraft manufacturers may be influenced by a wide variety of factors, including current and predicted traffic levels, load factors, aircraft fuel pricing, labor issues, competition, the retirement of older aircraft, regulatory changes, terrorism and related safety concerns, general economic conditions, worldwide airline profits and backlog levels. Also, since a substantial portion of the backlog for commercial aerospace customers is scheduled for delivery beyond 2007, changes in economic conditions may cause customers to request that firm orders be rescheduled or canceled. In addition, our aerospace businesses face intense competition from domestic and foreign manufacturers of new equipment and spare parts. The defense industry is also affected by a changing global political environment, continued pressure on U.S. and global defense spending and U.S. foreign policy and the level of activity in military flight operations. Spare parts sales and aftermarket service trends are affected by similar factors, including usage, pricing, regulatory changes, the retirement of older aircraft and technological improvements to new engines that increase reliability. Furthermore, because of the lengthy research and development cycle involved in bringing products in these business segments to market, we cannot predict the economic conditions that will exist when any new product is complete. A reduction in capital spending in the aviation or defense industries could have a significant effect on the demand for our products, which could have an adverse effect on our financial performance or results of operations.
The results of our commercial and industrial businesses, which generated 63 percent of our revenues in 2006, are influenced by a number of external factors including fluctuations in residential and commercial construction activity, interest rates, labor costs, foreign currency exchange rates, customer attrition, raw material and energy costs and other global and political factors. In addition to these factors, Carrier’s financial performance can also be influenced by production and utilization of transport equipment and, in its residential business, weather conditions.
Our Business May Be Affected by Government Contracting Risks
U.S. government contracts are subject to termination by the government, either for the convenience of the government or for default as a result of our failure to perform under the applicable contract. If terminated by the government as a result of our default, we could be liable for additional costs the government incurs in acquiring undelivered goods or services from another source and any other damages it suffers. We are now, and believe that in light of the current U.S. government contracting environment we will continue to be, the subject of one or more U.S. government investigations. If we or one of our business units were charged with wrongdoing as a result of any U.S. government investigations (including violation of certain environmental or export laws), the U.S. government could suspend us from bidding on or receiving awards of new U.S. government contracts pending the completion of legal proceedings. If convicted or found liable, the U.S. government could subject us to fines, penalties, repayments and treble and other damages. The U.S. government could void any contracts found to be tainted by fraud. The U.S. government also reserves the right to debar a contractor from receiving new government contracts for fraudulent, criminal or other seriously improper conduct. Debarment generally does not exceed three years. Independently, failure to comply with U.S. laws and regulations related to the export of goods and technology outside the U.S. could result in civil or criminal penalties and suspension or termination of our export privileges.

Our International Operations Subject Us to Economic Risk As Our Results of Operations May Be Adversely Affected by Foreign Currency Fluctuations and Changes in Local Government Regulation
We conduct our business on a global basis, with 60 percent of our total 2006 segment revenues derived from operations outside of the United States and from U.S. export sales. Fluctuations in exchange rates may affect product demand in export markets and affect reported profits of our non-U.S. operations (primarily the commercial businesses) where transactions are generally denominated in local currencies. In addition, currency fluctuations may affect the prices we pay suppliers for materials used in our products. Our financial statements are denominated in U.S. dollars. Accordingly, fluctuations in exchange rates may also give rise to translation gains or losses when financial statements on non-U.S. operating units are translated into U.S. dollars. Given that the majority of our revenues are non-U.S. based, a strengthening of the U.S. dollar against other major foreign currencies could adversely affect our results of operations.
Our international sales and operations are subject to risks associated with changes in local government laws, regulations and policies, including those related to tariffs and trade barriers, investments, taxation, exchange controls, employment regulations, and repatriation of earnings. Our international sales and operations are also sensitive to changes in foreign national priorities, including government budgets, as well as to political and economic instability. International transactions may involve increased financial and legal risks due to differing legal systems and customs in foreign countries. For example, as a condition of sale or award of a contract, some international customers require us to agree to offset arrangements, which may include in-country purchases, manufacturing and financial support arrangements. The contract may provide for penalties in the event we fail to perform in accordance with the offset requirements. In addition, as part of our globalization strategy, we have invested in certain countries, including Argentina, Brazil, China, India, Russia and South Africa, that carry high levels of currency, political and economic risk. While these factors or the impact of these factors are difficult to predict, any one or more of them could adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results.
We Use a Variety of Raw Materials, Supplier Provided Parts, Components, Sub-Systems and Third Party Contract Manufacturing Services in Our Businesses, and Significant Shortages, Supplier Capacity Constraints, Supplier Production Disruptions or Price Increases Could Increase Our Operating Costs and Adversely Impact the Competitive Positions of Our Products
Our reliance on suppliers, third party contract manufacturing and commodity markets to secure raw materials, parts, components and sub-systems used in our products exposes us to volatility in the prices and availability of these materials. In some instances, we depend upon a single source of supply, manufacturing or assembly or participate in commodity markets that may be subject to allocations by suppliers. A disruption in deliveries from our suppliers or third party contract manufacturers, supplier capacity constraints, supplier and third party contract manufacturer production disruptions, price increases, or decreased availability of raw materials or commodities, could have an adverse effect on our ability to meet our commitments to customers or increase our operating costs. We believe that our supply management and production practices are based on an appropriate balancing of the foreseeable risks and the costs of alternative practices. Nonetheless, price increases, supplier capacity constraints, supplier production disruptions or the unavailability of some raw materials may have an adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.
We Engage in Acquisitions, and May Encounter Difficulties Integrating Acquired Businesses with Our Current Operations; Therefore, We May Not Realize the Anticipated Benefits of the Acquisitions
We seek to grow through strategic acquisitions. In the past several years, we have made various acquisitions and entered into joint venture arrangements intended to complement and expand our businesses, and may continue to do so in the future. The success of these transactions will depend on our ability to integrate assets and personnel acquired in these transactions, apply our internal controls processes to these acquired businesses, and cooperate with our strategic partners. We may encounter difficulties in integrating acquisitions with our operations, and in managing strategic investments. Furthermore, we may not realize the degree, or timing, of benefits we anticipate when we first enter into a transaction. Any of the foregoing could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

We Design, Manufacture and Service Products that Incorporate Advanced Technologies; The Introduction of New Products and Technologies Involves Risks and We May Not Realize the Degree or Timing of Benefits Initially Anticipated
We seek to achieve growth through the design, development, production, sale and support of innovative products that incorporate advanced technologies. We regularly invest substantial amounts in research and development efforts that pursue advancements in a wide range of technologies, products and services. Our ability to realize the anticipated benefits of these advancements depends on a variety of factors, including meeting development, production, certification and regulatory approval schedules; execution of internal and external performance plans; availability of internal and supplier produced parts and materials; performance of suppliers and subcontractors; achieving cost and production efficiencies and validation of innovative technologies. These factors involve significant risks and uncertainties. We may encounter difficulties in developing and producing these new products and services, and may not realize the degree or timing of benefits initially anticipated. In particular, we cannot predict with certainty whether, when and in what quantities Pratt & Whitney or its affiliates will produce aircraft engines currently in development or pending required certifications. Any of the foregoing could adversely affect our business and results of operations.
We Are Subject to Litigation and Legal Compliance Risks That Could Adversely Affect Our Operating Results
We are subject to a variety of litigation and legal compliance risks. These risks include, among other things, litigation concerning product liability matters, personal injuries, intellectual property rights, government contracts, taxes, environmental matters, compliance with competition laws and sales and trading practices. While we believe we have adopted appropriate risk management and compliance programs to address and reduce these risks, the global and diverse nature of our operations means that these risks will continue to exist and additional legal proceedings and contingencies will arise from time to time. Our results may be affected by the outcome of legal proceedings and other contingencies that cannot be predicted with certainty. As required by generally accepted accounting principles, we estimate material loss contingencies and establish reserves based on our assessment of contingencies where liability is deemed probable and reasonably estimable in light of the facts and circumstances known to us at a particular point in time. Subsequent developments in legal proceedings may affect our assessment and estimates of the loss contingency recorded as a liability or as a reserve against assets in our financial statements and could result in an adverse effect on our results of operations in the period in which a liability would be recognized or cash flows for the period in which damages would be paid. For a description of current legal proceedings, see Item 3 “Legal Proceedings” in this Form 10-K.

For purposes of this table, emerging markets include the countries included in the Morgan Stanley Capital International Emerging Markets Global IndexSM. |
Our fixed assets as of December 31, 2006 include the manufacturing facilities and non-manufacturing facilities such as warehouses set forth in the tables above and a substantial quantity of machinery and equipment, most of which are general purpose machinery and equipment using special jigs, tools and fixtures and in many instances having automatic control features and special adaptations. The facilities, warehouses, machinery and equipment in use as of December 31, 2006 are in good operating condition, are well maintained and substantially all are in regular use.
Our management believes that the fixed assets capitalized and the facilities in operation at December 31, 2006 for the production of our products are suitable and adequate for the business conducted therein in the current business environment and have sufficient production capacity for their present intended purposes. Utilization of the facilities varies based on demand for the products. We continuously review our anticipated requirements for facilities and, based on that review, may from time to time adjust our facility needs.
For discussion of the effect of our restructuring actions on manufacturing facilities, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and Note 11 of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in our 2006 Annual Report.

As previously reported, the Department of Justice (DOJ) sued us in 1999 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio, claiming that Pratt & Whitney violated the civil False Claims Act and common law. This lawsuit relates to the “Fighter Engine Competition” between Pratt & Whitney’s F100 engine and GE’s F110 engine. The DOJ alleges that the government overpaid for F100 engines under contracts awarded by the U.S. Air Force in fiscal years 1985 through 1990 because Pratt & Whitney inflated its estimated costs for some purchased parts and withheld data that would have revealed the overstatements. Treble damages and penalties of up to $10,000 per false claim could be assessed if the court finds that Pratt & Whitney violated the civil False Claims Act, and common law damages would accrue pre-judgment interest. Trial of this matter was completed in December 2004. At trial, the government claimed Pratt & Whitney’s liability is $624 million. We believe that this estimate is substantially overstated, denied any liability and vigorously defended against the DOJ’s claims. A decision is pending. Should the government ultimately prevail with respect to the foregoing government contract matter, the outcome could result in a material effect on our results of operations in the period in which a liability would be recognized or cash flows for the period in which damages would be paid. However, we believe that the resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse effect upon our competitive position, cash flows or financial condition.
As previously reported, the European Commission’s Competition Directorate (EU Commission) conducted inspections in early 2004 at offices of our Otis subsidiary in Berlin, Brussels, Luxembourg and Paris relating to an investigation of possible unlawful collusive arrangements involving the European elevator and escalator industry. Based on the results of our own internal investigation, we believe that some Otis employees engaged in activities at a local level in Belgium, Luxembourg, The Netherlands and Germany in violation of Otis and UTC policies and European competition law. On October 13, 2005, we received a Statement of Objections (SO) from the EU Commission relating to this investigation. The SO, an administrative complaint, alleges infringements of EU competition rules by certain elevator companies, including Otis, in Belgium, Luxembourg, The Netherlands and Germany. We responded to the SO on February 21, 2006 and have cooperated fully with the EU Commission. We expect the EU Commission to issue a decision in the near term, but cannot reasonably estimate the range of civil fines to which we or Otis would likely be subject. The aggregate amount of such fines could be material to our operating results for the period in which the liability would be recognized or cash flows for the period in which the fines would be paid. We do not believe that any such fines would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, or that the resolution of this matter would have a material adverse effect on Otis’ competitive position.
Since the EU Commission’s investigation became public, class action lawsuits were filed in various federal district courts in the United States alleging that we, Otis and other elevator manufacturers engaged in violations of Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Act. Those lawsuits were transferred to and consolidated in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. On June 6, 2006, the district court judge granted our motion to dismiss without leave to replead. On June 30, 2006, the plaintiffs appealed this decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. We expect a decision in the second or third quarter of 2007. We continue to believe this litigation is without merit.
As previously reported, in December 2003, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency executed a search warrant at Hamilton Sundstrand seeking records and data regarding processes for monitoring, treating and discharging wastewater at a Connecticut manufacturing facility. Hamilton Sundstrand also received a Notice of Violation associated with the same matter from the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection. On February 8, 2007 Hamilton Sundstrand pled guilty to a two-count Federal criminal information alleging that it violated the Clean Water Act by filing inaccurate reports of hexavalent chrome levels at an internal sampling point from 2001 to 2003, and by discharging wastewater containing an excessive amount of copper into the Farmington River. Pursuant to a plea agreement, Hamilton Sundstrand will pay a $1 million penalty and be placed on probation for a five year period. Over this period, Hamilton Sundstrand will also contribute to and perform $11 million of projects to benefit the environment and take a number of actions with respect to environmental training, compliance, oversight, reporting and auditing. Hamilton Sundstrand also entered into a Consent Order with the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection to resolve the related Notice of Violation. Under the Consent Order, Hamilton Sundstrand will pay an additional $75,000 fine, and $675,000 of the $11 million in projects described above will be designated to resolve its liability under the Notice of Violation.
In 2005, the Korean Fair Trade Commission conducted an inspection at the office of Otis’ Korean subsidiary in connection with an investigation of possible unlawful collusive arrangements in the Korean elevator industry. Based on the results of our internal investigation, we believe that some employees at this subsidiary engaged in activities at a local level in violation of Otis and UTC policies and Korean competition law. We are cooperating fully with the investigation. We do not believe that any fines that may be imposed will be material to UTC or have a materially adverse impact on Otis’ competitive position.
As previously reported, like many other companies in recent years, we or our subsidiaries have been named as a defendant in lawsuits alleging personal injury as a result of exposure to asbestos integrated into certain of our products or premises. While we have never manufactured asbestos and no longer incorporate it in any currently manufactured products, certain of our historical products, like those of many other manufacturers, have contained components incorporating asbestos. We have made no payment in a substantial majority of the cases closed to date. The remainder of the resolved

Table of Contents
cases have settled for amounts that are not material to us, and have been supported in part by insurance. At present, we are named in approximately 2,830 lawsuits involving approximately 15,365 individual claimants. In our report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, we reported that approximately 18,000 claimants were then joined in lawsuits in Mississippi state courts. Typically, these Mississippi lawsuits named from 200 to 400 other companies as defendants along with us or our subsidiaries. The complaints did not identify any of our products or products of our subsidiaries, or specify the amount of damages claimed. In addition, the complaints did not allege which claimants, if any, were exposed to asbestos attributable to our products or premises, nor the extent, if any, to which such claimants had been harmed. Since our 2004 report, as a result of changes in the law governing joinder and pleading in Mississippi, approximately 5,700 Mississippi claimants have been transferred to the Federal Multidistrict Litigation asbestos docket in Pennsylvania. Many other claimants have been dismissed without prejudice and required to file claims, if they can, that allege more specifically the claimant’s exposure to asbestos and the resulting harm. At present, the total number of claimants in Mississippi is approximately 4,955.
Except as otherwise noted above, we do not believe that resolution of any of the legal matters discussed above will have a material adverse effect upon our competitive position, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. A further discussion of government contracts and related investigations, as well as a discussion of our environmental liabilities, can be found under the heading “Other Matters Relating to Our Business as a Whole – Compliance with Environmental and Other Government Regulations” in Item 1 “Business” and in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in this Form 10-K.

On December 13, 2006, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 60 million shares of our common stock. Shares may be purchased on the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or both. In the fourth quarter of 2006, we entered into a stock repurchase plan under which a broker repurchases shares of our common stock on our behalf pursuant to Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These repurchases are included within the scope of our overall repurchase program discussed above. We may also reacquire shares outside of the program in connection with the surrender of shares to cover taxes on vesting of restricted stock. Approximately 7,000 shares were reacquired in transactions outside the program during the quarter.
In June 2006 and May 2005, we contributed 2,497,919 and 3,000,000 shares of our common stock, respectively, valued at $150 million and $157 million, respectively, to our U.S. defined pension plans, in accordance with Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. These contributions will reduce our future obligations to fund the plans.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer, the President and Chief Operating Officer, the Vice President, Accounting and Finance; Controller and the Vice President, Finance, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. There are inherent limitations to the

effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based upon our evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer, our President and Chief Operating Officer, our Vice President, Accounting and Finance; Controller and our Vice President, Finance concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms, and that it is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, our President and Chief Operating Officer, our Vice President, Accounting and Finance; Controller and our Vice President, Finance, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Our management has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006. In making its assessment, management has utilized the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control—Integrated Framework. Our management concluded that based on its assessment, our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2006. Our management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears in our 2006 Annual Report.
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2006 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
None.

The Board of Directors may provide for payment therefor to be received by the Corporation in cash, property or services. Any and all such shares of the Preferred or Common Stock of the Corporation the issuance of which has been so authorized, and for which consideration so fixed by the Board of Directors has been paid or delivered, shall be deemed full paid stock and shall not be liable to any further call or assessment thereon. |

| (a) | The books of the Corporation may be kept outside the State of Delaware at such place or places as may, from time to time, be designated by the Board of Directors. |
| (b) | The business of the Corporation shall be managed by its Board of Directors; and the Board of Directors shall have power to exercise all the powers of the Corporation, including (but without limiting the generality hereof) the power to create mortgages upon the whole or any part of the property of the Corporation, real or personal, without any action of or by the stockholders, except as otherwise provided by statute or by the Bylaws. |
| (c) | The number of the directors shall be fixed by the Bylaws, subject to alteration, from time to time, by amendment of the Bylaws either by the Board of Directors or the stockholders.

Any director or any officer elected or appointed by the stockholders or by the Board of Directors may be removed at any time, in such manner as shall be provided in the Bylaws. |
4
| (e) | The Board of Directors shall have power, in its discretion, to fix, determine and vary, from time to time, the amount to be retained as surplus and the amount or amounts to be set apart out of any of the funds of the Corporation available for dividends as working capital or a reserve or reserves for any proper purpose, and to abolish any such reserve in the manner in which it was created. |
| (f) | The Board of Directors shall have power, in its discretion, from time to time, to determine whether and to what extent and at what times and places and under what conditions and regulations the books and accounts of the Corporation, or any of them, other than the stock ledger, shall be open to the inspection of stockholders; and no stockholder shall have any right to inspect any account or book or document of the Corporation, except as conferred by law or authorized by resolution of the directors or of the stockholders. |

| (h) | At all elections of directors of the Corporation, each holder of Common Stock shall be entitled to as many votes as shall equal the number of his shares of such stock multiplied by the number of directors to be elected by the holders of Common Stock, and he may cast all of such votes for a single director or may distribute them among the number to be voted for by the holders of the Common Stock, or any two or more of them as he may see fit. |
| (i) | In case the Corporation shall enter into any contract or transact any business with one or more of its directors, or with any firm of which any director is a member, or with any corporation or association of which any director is a stockholder, director or officer, such contract or transaction shall not be invalidated or in any way affected by the fact that such director has or may have an interest therein which is or might be adverse to the interests of the Corporation, even though the vote of such director might have been necessary to obligate the Corporation upon such contract or transaction; provided, that the fact of such interest shall have been disclosed to the other directors or the stockholders of the Corporation, as the case may be, acting upon or with reference to such contract or transaction. |
| (j) | Whenever a compromise or arrangement is proposed between this Corporation and its creditors or any class of them and/or between this Corporation and its stockholders or any class of them, any court of equitable jurisdiction within the State of Delaware may, on the application in a summary way of this Corporation or of any creditor or stockholder thereof or on the application of any receiver or receivers appointed for this Corporation under the provisions of Section 291 of Title 8 of the Delaware Code or on the application of trustees in dissolution or of any receiver or receivers appointed for this Corporation under the provisions of Section 279 of Title 8 of the Delaware Code order a meeting of the creditors or class of creditors, and/or of the stockholders or class of stockholders of this Corporation, as the case may be, to be summoned in such manner as the said court directs. If a majority in number representing three-fourths in value of the creditors or class of creditors, and/or of the stockholders or class of stockholders of this Corporation, as the case may be, agree to any compromise or arrangement and to any reorganization of this Corporation as consequence of such compromise or arrangement, the said compromise or arrangement and the said reorganization shall, if sanctioned by the court to which the said application has been made, be binding on all the creditors or class of creditors, and/or on all the stockholders or class of stockholders, of this Corporation, as the case may be, and also on this Corporation. |
| (k) | The Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change, add to or repeal any provision contained in this Certificate of Incorporation in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by statute; and all rights herein conferred are granted subject to this reservation. |

| (a) | the highest per share price (including any brokerage commissions, transfer taxes and soliciting dealers’ fees) paid by the Interested Stockholder for any shares of such class of Voting Stock acquired by it (1) within the two-year period immediately prior to the Announcement Date or (2) in the transaction in which it became an Interested Stockholder, whichever is higher, plus interest compounded annually from the date on which the Interested Stockholder became an Interested Stockholder through the Consummation Date at the prime rate of interest of Citibank, N.A. (or other major bank headquartered in New York City selected by a majority of the Disinterested Directors) from time to time in effect in New York City, less the aggregate amount of any cash dividends paid, and the Fair Market Value of any dividends paid in other than cash, per share of such class of Voting Stock from the date on which the Interested Stockholder became an Interested Stockholder through the Consummation Date in an amount up to but not exceeding the amount of such interest payable per share of such class of Voting Stock; |

7
| (v) | After such Interested Stockholder has become an Interested Stockholder, such Interested Stockholder shall not have received the benefit, directly or indirectly (except proportionately as a stockholder), of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial assistance or any tax credits or other tax advantages provided by the Corporation. |
| (vi) | A proxy or information statement describing the proposed Business Combination and complying with the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations thereunder (or any subsequent provisions replacing such Act, rules or regulations) shall be mailed to public stockholders of the Corporation at least 30 days prior to the consummation of such Business Combination (whether or not such proxy or information statement is required to be mailed pursuant to such Act or subsequent provisions). |
SECTION 4. Certain Definitions. For the purposes of this Article Ninth:

| (i) | which such person or any of its Affiliates or Associates (as hereinafter defined) beneficially owns, directly or indirectly; or |
| (ii) | which such person or any of its Affiliates or Associates has (a) the right to acquire (whether such right is exercisable immediately or only after the passage of time), pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding or upon the exercise of conversion rights, exchange rights, warrants or options, or otherwise, or (b) the right to vote pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding; or |
| (iii) | which are beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by any other person with which such person or any of its Affiliates or Associates has any agreement, arrangement or understanding for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of any shares of Voting Stock. |
| D. | For the purposes of determining whether a person is an Interested Stockholder pursuant to paragraph B of this Section 4, the number of shares of Voting Stock deemed to be outstanding shall include shares deemed owned through application of paragraph C of this Section 4 but shall not include any other shares of Voting Stock which may be issuable pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding, or upon exercise of conversion rights, warrants or options, or otherwise. |

8
| G. | “Disinterested Director” means any member of the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board”) who is unaffiliated with the Interested Stockholder and was a member of the Board prior to the time that the Interested Stockholder became an Interested Stockholder, and any successor of a Disinterested Director who is unaffiliated with the Interested Stockholder and is recommended to succeed a Disinterested Director by a majority of Disinterested Directors then on the Board. |
| H. | “Fair Market Value” means: (i) in the case of stock, the highest closing sale price during the 30-day period immediately preceding the date in question of a share of such stock on the Composite Tape for New York Stock Exchange-Listed Stocks, or, if such stock is not quoted on the Composite Tape, on the New York Stock Exchange, or, if such stock is not listed on such Exchange, on the principal United States securities exchange registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on which such stock is listed, or, if such stock is not listed on any such exchange, the highest closing bid quotation with respect to a share of such stock during the 30-day period preceding the date in question on the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., Automated Quotations System or any system then in use, or if no such quotations are available, the fair market value on the date in question of a share of such stock as determined by a majority of the Disinterested Directors in good faith; and (ii) in the case of property other than cash or stock, the fair market value of such property on the date in question as determined by a majority of the Disinterested Directors in good faith. |
| I. | In the event of any Business Combination in which the Corporation survives, the phrase “consideration other than cash to be received” as used in paragraph B(i) and (ii) of Section 3 of this Article Ninth shall include the shares of Common Stock and/or the shares of any other class of outstanding Voting Stock retained by the holders of such shares. |
SECTION 5. Powers of Disinterested Directors.

DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN
(As amended and restated effective September 1, 2002, and amended October 1, 2004)
Article I – Preamble
United Technologies Corporation established the United Technologies Deferred Compensation Plan effective April 1, 1985. Pursuant to such Plan, certain eligible executives of the Corporation deferred all or a portion of their compensation earned with respect to 1985 and 1986. No compensation earned after 1986 was deferred under the Plan until the Plan was amended and restated effective December 15, 1993 to offer eligible executives the opportunity to defer all or a portion of Compensation earned or otherwise payable in 1994 and subsequent years. The Plan is hereby amended and restated, effective September 1, 2002, and amended October 1, 2004, to reflect administrative changes and enhancements.

SECTION 3.2 – PARTICIPATION. Each eligible Participant may elect to participate in the Plan with respect to any calendar year for which the Committee offers the opportunity to defer Compensation by timely filing with the Committee an Election Form, properly completed in accordance with Section 4.1. Participation in the Plan is entirely voluntary.
Article IV – Participant Elections
SECTION 4.1 – ELECTION. An eligible Participant may participate in the Plan by executing the Election Form provided by the Committee for the subsequent calendar year. The eligible Participant must designate the dollar amount of base salary that will be deferred during such calendar year, and/or the percentage or dollar amount of any Incentive Compensation Payment otherwise payable during such calendar year that will be deferred under the Plan. The minimum dollar amount that a Participant may defer under the Plan for any calendar year is $5,000. Any deferral election made in the Election Form is irrevocable and must be completed and returned to the Committee no later than the December 31 immediately preceding the calendar year to which the election applies, or such earlier date as the Committee may specify. If an eligible executive fails to return a properly completed Election Form by such date, the executive will be ineligible to defer Compensation under the Plan for the following calendar year.
SECTION 4.2 – INVESTMENT FUND ALLOCATIONS. When completing the Election Form, the Participant must allocate the amounts to be deferred, in the nearest whole percentage, among the available Investment Funds.
Participants may reallocate their existing post-1993 Class Year Accounts, Special Purpose Accounts and Retirement Account among the available Investment Funds as permitted by the Committee, generally once per year. Such reallocations shall be in the nearest whole percentage and, unless otherwise specified by the Committee, shall be effective January 1 of the calendar year following the date of the reallocation election.
3
SECTION 4.3 – DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARY. Each Participant shall designate a Beneficiary for his or her Plan Accounts on a form provided by the Committee. Such designation may be changed on a form acceptable to the Committee at any time by the Participant. In the event that no Beneficiary designation is filed with the Committee, or if the Beneficiary (and contingent Beneficiary) does not survive the Participant, all amounts deferred hereunder will be paid to the estate of the Participant in a lump sum. If a Participant designates the Participant’s spouse as the Participant’s Beneficiary, that designation shall not be revoked or otherwise altered or affected by any: (a) change in the marital status of the Participant; (b) agreement between the Participant and such spouse; or (c) judicial decree (such as a divorce decree) affecting any rights that the Participant and such spouse might have as a result of their marriage, separation, or divorce; it being the intent of the Plan that any change in the designation of a Beneficiary hereunder may be made by the Participant only in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 4.3. In the event of the death of a Participant, distributions shall be made in accordance with Section 6.4.
SECTION 4.4 – DEFERRAL PERIOD. Each Participant shall specify in the Election Form the Deferral Period for amounts to be deferred in the following calendar year. The minimum Deferral Period for a Special Purpose Account is five (5) calendar years following the end of the calendar year in which the Account is established. Participants may defer Compensation into a Retirement Account until April of the calendar year following their Retirement Date.
SECTION 4.5 – DISTRIBUTION SCHEDULE. Each Participant shall specify in the Election Form whether the value of the Participant’s Retirement or Special Purpose Account shall be distributed in a single lump-sum cash payment or in a series of annual cash installment payments for a specified number of years (not to exceed 15 years).
Article V – Plan Accounts
SECTION 5.1 – ACCOUNTS. Prior to 2003, the Committee established a Class Year Account for each Participant with respect to each Class Year for which the Participant elected to defer Compensation under the Plan. Each Class Year Account will be maintained separately.
Amounts deferred in 2003 and subsequent calendar years will be allocated to a Retirement Account and/or one or more Special Purpose Accounts as elected by the Participant. The Committee will establish the maximum number of Special Purpose Accounts.
Participants’ Plan Accounts shall be allocated or reallocated among Investment Funds in accordance with each Participant’s instructions in the manner set forth in Section 4.2.
SECTION 5.2 – VALUATION OF CREDITED INTEREST ACCOUNT. Deferred amounts allocated to the Credited Interest Account will be credited with a rate of interest equal to the average interest rate on 10-Year Treasury Bonds as of the last business day of each month from January through October in the prior calendar year, plus 1%.
SECTION 5.3 – VALUATION OF UTC STOCK UNIT ACCOUNT. Deferred Compensation allocated to the UTC Stock Unit Account will be converted to Stock Units, or fractional Stock Units. A UTC Stock Unit is equal to the closing price of one share of UTC Common Stock as reported on the composite tape of the New York Stock Exchange. The number of Stock Units will be calculated by dividing the amount of Compensation deferred by the closing price of UTC Common Stock on the date the deferred amounts otherwise would have been paid. Stock Units held in the UTC Stock Unit Account will be credited with a dividend payment equal to the Corporation’s declared dividend on UTC Common Stock (if any). Such dividend equivalent payments will be converted to additional Stock Units or fractional units using the closing price of UTC Common Stock as of the date such dividends are credited to the Participant’s UTC Stock Unit Account.
SECTION 5.4 – VALUATION OF S&P 500 ACCOUNT. Deferred amounts allocated to the S&P 500 Account will be converted to S&P Account units based on the closing share price of the Vanguard 500 Index Fund as of date the deferred amount is credited to the Participant’s S&P 500 Account. The value of the S&P 500 Account units will fluctuate on a daily basis based on the performance of the Vanguard 500 Index Fund.
SECTION 5.5 – ALLOCATION TO ACCOUNTS. During the year of deferral, deferred amounts will be allocated to the Participant’s Plan Accounts and Investment Funds as of the date the deferred amounts would otherwise have been paid.
SECTION 5.6 – REPORTS TO PARTICIPANTS. The Committee will provide or make available detailed information to Participants regarding the value of Plan Accounts, distribution elections, Beneficiary designations, Investment Fund allocations and credited values for Class Year, Retirement and Special Purpose Accounts, not less than once per year. Such information may be provided via electronic media as determined by the Committee.

Article VI – Distribution of Accounts
SECTION 6.1 – TIMING OF PLAN DISTRIBUTIONS. The value of a Participant’s Retirement Account will be distributed (or begin to be distributed) in April of the calendar year following the Retirement Date. The value of a Participant’s Special Purpose Account will be distributed (or begin to be distributed) in April of the specified year. This means, for example, that if a deferral election specifies a Deferral Period until 2015, distribution will occur in April of 2015.
The value of a Participant’s Class Year Account will be distributed (or begin to be distributed) in April of the last year of the Deferral Period. Upon Retirement, the value of a Participant’s Class Year Account will be distributed (or begin to be distributed) in April next following the Retirement Date, or in April of the calendar year following the Retirement Date, as elected.
SECTION 6.2 – METHOD OF DISTRIBUTION. Each Class Year, Retirement and Special Purpose Account will be distributed in a single lump-sum cash payment, or in a series of annual cash installment payments, in accordance with the Participant’s election with respect to each such Account.
SECTION 6.3 – TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. In the event of termination of employment prior to a Participant’s Retirement Date, during or after the Deferral Period with respect to any Class Year, Retirement or Special Purpose Account, the full value of the Participant’s Plan Accounts will be distributed in a lump-sum cash payment in April following the date of termination, regardless of the distribution option elected.
SECTION 6.4 – DISTRIBUTION IN THE EVENT OF DEATH. In the event of the death of a Participant prior to attaining eligibility for Retirement, and before the end of the Deferral Period with respect to any Plan Account, the full value of such Plan Accounts will be distributed to the designated Beneficiary in a lump sum as soon as administratively feasible.
In the event of the death of a Participant prior to attaining eligibility for Retirement, but after the end of the Deferral Period with respect to any Plan Account, the full value of such Plan Accounts will be distributed to the designated Beneficiary in accordance with the Participant’s distribution election on file.
In the event of death of a Participant after attaining eligibility for Retirement, the full value of the Participant’s Plan Accounts will be distributed to the Beneficiary in accordance with the Participant’s distribution elections on file.
If the Beneficiary is the Participant’s estate, the full value of the Participant’s Plan Accounts will be paid in a single lump sum as soon as administratively feasible following the Participant’s date of death.
In the event of the death of the Beneficiary (and any contingent Beneficiary) while receiving distributions from the Plan, the full value of the applicable Plan Accounts will be paid in a single lump sum to such Beneficiary’s estate as soon as administratively feasible.
SECTION 6.5 – HARDSHIP DISTRIBUTION. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, upon finding that the Participant (or Beneficiary in the event of a Participant’s death) has suffered an unforeseen, severe and immediate financial emergency, permit such Participant to withdraw a portion of the value of the Participant’s Plan Accounts in an amount sufficient to eliminate the hardship. Financial hardship distributions will be made only if the Committee determines that the Participant is unable to resolve the financial emergency through other means reasonably available to the Participant. Financial hardship distributions will be made following the Committee’s determination of a qualifying financial emergency on the basis of the value of the Participant’s Plan Accounts as of the most recent date available. The Committee will determine from which Special Purpose, Retirement or Class Year Accounts and associated Investment Funds hardship distributions will be made. Any Participant who is an officer or director of the Corporation within the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is not eligible for financial hardship distributions.
SECTION 6.6 – DISABILITY. In the event of the disability of a Participant, as determined under the Corporation’s Long Term Disability Plan, the Participant’s Plan Accounts will be maintained and distributed in accordance with the Participant’s elections on file.
5
SECTION 6.7 – DISTRIBUTION FROM SUPPLEMENTAL ACCOUNT. The Committee will effect distributions from supplemental retirement plans with respect to Benefit Reductions incurred in any of the Corporation’s defined benefit pension plans at the same time, in the same manner and in the required amounts such that when combined with benefits provided by the defined benefit pension plans in which a Participant incurred a Benefit Reduction, the total amount received by a Participant (or Beneficiary) will equal the amount of pension benefit that would otherwise have been paid had the Participant not participated in this Plan.
At the end of each calendar year, the Committee will determine if any Benefit Reduction has been incurred with respect to any of the Corporation’s savings plans or other tax qualified defined contribution retirement plans, and will credit the amount of such Benefit Reduction to the affected Participant’s Plan Accounts as of the last business day of the calendar year. Any such amounts will be allocated on a pro-rata basis to the Participant’s Plan Accounts and Investment Funds in accordance with the Participant’s deferral elections on file for that calendar year.
Article VII – Amendment and Termination of Plan
SECTION 7.1 – AMENDMENT. The Corporation may, at any time, amend the Plan in whole or in part, provided that no amendment may decrease the value of any Plan Accounts as of the date of such amendment. In the event of any change in law or regulation relating to the Plan and the tax treatment of Plan Accounts, the Plan shall, without further action by the Committee, be deemed to be amended to comply with any such change in law or regulation effective the first date necessary to prevent the taxation, constructive receipt or deemed distribution of Plan Accounts prior to the date Plan Accounts would be distributed under the provisions of Article VI.
SECTION 7.2 – PLAN SUPSPENSION AND TERMINATION. The Corporation’s Pension Administration Committee, may, at any time, suspend or terminate the Plan with respect to new or existing Election Forms if, in its sole judgment, the continuance of the Plan, the tax, accounting, or other effects thereof, or potential payments hereunder would not be in the best interest of the Corporation or for any other reason. In the event of the suspension of the Plan, no additional deferral shall be made under the Plan, but all previous deferrals shall accumulate and be distributed in accordance with the otherwise applicable provisions of the Plan and the applicable elections on file. In the event of the termination of the Plan, each Participant will receive, in a lump-sum cash payment, the value of his or her Plan Accounts.
SECTION 7.3 – NO CONSENT REQUIRED. The consent of any Participant, Beneficiary, or other person shall not be required with respect to any amendment, suspension, or termination of the Plan.
Article VIII – General Provisions
SECTION 8.1 – UNSECURED GENERAL CREDITOR. The Corporation’s obligations under the Plan constitute an unfunded and unsecured promise to pay money in the future. Participants’ and Beneficiaries’ rights under the Plan are solely those of a general unsecured creditor of the Corporation. No assets will be placed in trust, set aside or otherwise segregated to fund or offset liabilities in respect of the Plan or Participants’ Plan Accounts.
SECTION 8.2 – NONASSIGNABILITY. No Participant or Beneficiary or any other person shall have right to sell, assign, transfer, pledge, or otherwise encumber any interest in the Plan. All Plan Accounts and the rights to all payments are unassignable and non-transferable. Plan Accounts or payment hereunder, prior to actual payment, will not be subject to attachment or seizure for the payment of any debts, judgments or other obligations. Plan Accounts or other Plan benefit will not be transferred by operation of law in the event of a Participant’s or any Beneficiary’s bankruptcy or insolvency.
SECTION 8.3 – NO CONTRACT OF EMPLOYMENT. Participation in the Plan shall not be construed to constitute a direct or indirect contract of employment between the Corporation and the Participant. Participants and Beneficiaries will have no rights against the Corporation resulting from participation in the Plan other than as specifically provided herein. Nothing in the Plan shall be deemed to give a Participant the right to be retained in the service of the Corporation for any length of time or to interfere with the right of the Corporation to terminate a Participant’s employment prior to the end of any Deferral Period.
SECTION 8.4— GOVERNING LAW. The provisions of the Plan will be construed and interpreted according to the laws of the State of Connecticut, to the extent not preempted by federal law.
6
SECTION 8.5 – VALIDITY. If any provision of the Plan is held to be illegal or invalid for any reason, the remaining provisions of the Plan will be construed and enforced as if such illegal and invalid provision had never been inserted herein.
SECTION 8.6 – NOTICE. Any notice or filing required or permitted to be given to the Committee under the Plan shall be sufficient if sent by first-class mail, to the United Technologies Corporation Deferred Compensation Committee, 1 Financial Plaza, Hartford, Connecticut 06101, Attn: Jeff Kridler, Director, Compensation, MS-504. Any notice or filing required or permitted to be given to any Participant or Beneficiary under the Plan shall be sufficient if provided either electronically, hand-delivered, or mailed to the address (or email address, as the case may be) of the Participant or Beneficiary then listed on the records of the Corporation. Any such notice will be deemed given as of the date of delivery or, if delivery is made by mail, as of the date shown on the postmark or email system.
SECTION 8.7 – SUCCESSORS. The provisions of the Plan shall bind and inure to the benefit of the Corporation and its successors and assigns. The term successors as used herein shall include any corporate or other business entity, which by merger, consolidation, purchase or otherwise acquires all or substantially all of the business and assets of the Corporation, and successors of any such corporation or other business entity.
SECTION 8.8 – INCOMPETENCE. If the Committee determines, upon evidence satisfactory to the Committee, that any Participant or Beneficiary to whom a benefit is payable under the Plan is unable to care for their affairs because of illness or accident, any payment due (unless prior claim therefore shall have been made by a duly authorized guardian or other legal representative) may be paid, upon appropriate indemnification of the Committee and the Corporation, to the spouse of the Participant or other person deemed by the Committee to have incurred expenses for the benefit of and on behalf of such Participant or Beneficiary. Any such payment from a Participant’s Plan Accounts shall be a complete discharge of any liability under the Plan with respect to the amount so paid.
7
Article IX – Administration and Claims
SECTION 9.1 – PLAN ADMINISTRATION. The Committee shall be solely responsible for the administration and operation of the Plan. The Committee shall have full and exclusive authority and discretion to interpret the provisions of the Plan and to establish such administrative procedures as it deems necessary and appropriate to carry out the purposes of the Plan.
Any person claiming a benefit, requesting an interpretation or ruling under the Plan, or requesting information under the Plan shall present the request in writing to the Committee which shall respond in writing as soon as practicable.
SECTION 9.2 – CLAIM PROCEDURES. If a Participant or Beneficiary requests a benefit or payment under the Plan and such claim or request is denied, the Committee will provide a written notice of denial which will specify (a) the reason for denial, with specific reference to the Plan provisions on which the denial is based and (b) a description of any additional material or information that may be required with respect to the claim and an explanation of why such information is necessary.
If a claim or request is denied or if the Participant or Beneficiary receives no response within 60 days, the Participant or Beneficiary may request review by writing to the Committee. The Committee will review the claim or request, and may request additional information or materials that it deems appropriate to the resolution of any issues presented. The decision on review will normally be made by the Committee within 60 days of its receipt of the request for review but may be extended up to 120 days from such date. The Committee’s decision will be in writing and will state the basis for its decision and shall be conclusive and binding on all parties.
Certain Regulatory Matters
The Plan is subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). Because the Plan is an unfunded plan maintained by an employer primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees, the Plan is exempt from most of ERISA’s requirements. Although the Plan is subject to Part 1 (Reporting and Disclosure) and Part 5 (Administration and Enforcement) of Title I, Subtitle B of ERISA, the Department of Labor has issued a regulation that exempts the Plan from most of ERISA’s reporting and disclosure requirements.

Both the 2006 and 2005 increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is due principally to acquisitions and general increases across the businesses in support of higher volumes. The reduction as a percent of sales is attributable to cost control initiatives and to the savings from prior restructuring actions.

Interest expense increased in 2006, primarily as a result of the $2.4 billion issuance of long-term debt in April 2005 in connection with the acquisitions of Kidde, Rocketdyne and Lenel, higher average commercial paper balances, as well as higher average interest rates on short-term borrowings, and the additional $1.1 billion long-term debt issuance in May 2006. The increase in 2005 as compared to 2004 was also due to the April 2005 long-term debt issuance, a higher average commercial paper balance and higher average interest rates on short-term borrowings.
The average interest rate for commercial paper increased in 2006 as compared to 2005 generating the increase in the average short-term borrowing rate. The weighted-average interest rate applicable to debt outstanding at December 31, 2006 was 5.9% for short-term borrowings and 6.1% for total debt as compared to 5.2% and 6.1%, respectively, at December 31, 2005.
Income Taxes

| Effective income tax rate |
27.2 | % | 26.8 | % | 26.2 | % |
The effective tax rate for 2006, 2005 and 2004 reflects the tax benefit associated with lower tax rates on international earnings, which we intend to permanently reinvest outside the United States.
In the normal course of business, various tax authorities examine us, including the IRS. The 2005 effective tax rate reflects an approximately $66 million reduction in tax expense primarily as a result of the reevaluation of our liabilities and contingencies in light of the completion and commencement of exam cycles. In 2006, a residual disputed issue related to the 1999 disposition of a business segment was settled with the Appeals Division of the IRS and was reviewed by the U.S. Congress Joint Committee on Taxation. The settlement resulted in an approximately $35 million reduction in tax expense. The 2004 effective tax rate reflects an approximately $80 million reduction in tax expense as a result of a settlement with the IRS with respect to claims and other disputed items related to the 1986 to 1993 tax years. In 2007, we expect that the IRS will complete the examination phase of the 2000 through 2003 audit and commence examination of 2004 and 2005. Although the outcome of these matters cannot currently be determined, we believe adequate provision has been made for any potentially unfavorable financial statement impact.
The 2005 effective rate reflects a benefit of approximately $135 million related to an amended return, filed in 2005, which claimed credits for 2003 foreign taxes previously recognized as deductions. The 2005 effective tax rate also reflects a tax benefit of approximately $19 million associated with noncore business divestitures. We recognized a tax cost related to the tax gain from the sale of a Hamilton Sundstrand division, and tax benefits related to tax losses from the sale of a Carrier refrigeration operation and the sale and liquidation of a Pratt & Whitney subsidiary. The third-party sales did not result in significant pre-tax gains or losses for financial reporting purposes.
The American Jobs Creation Act, signed into law in October 2004, provided an opportunity in 2005 to repatriate up to $500 million of reinvested foreign earnings and to claim an 85% dividend received deduction against the repatriated amount. We evaluated the potential effects of the repatriation provision and decided not to repatriate earnings under the provision.
We expect our effective income tax rate in 2007 to be approximately 28%, before the impacts of any discrete events.

Foreign currency translation had a favorable impact of $.01 per share in 2006, did not have a significant impact on earnings per share in 2005 and had a favorable impact of $.09 per share in 2004. As discussed in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, we adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 47, “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations (an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143)” effective December 31, 2005. The cumulative effect of this adoption reduced 2005 diluted earnings per share by $.09 and did not have a significant impact to 2006 operating results.
Restructuring and Other Costs
We recorded net pre-tax restructuring and related charges totaling $288 million in 2006 and $267 million in 2005 for new and ongoing restructuring actions. We recorded these charges in the segments as follows:

The 2006 charges include $223 million in cost of sales, $64 million in selling, general and administrative expenses and $1 million in other income. The 2005 charges include $180 million in cost of sales, $73 million in selling, general and administrative expenses and $14 million in other income. As described below, these charges relate to actions initiated during 2006, 2005 and certain actions initiated in the fourth quarter of 2004.
Restructuring actions are an essential component of our operating margin improvement efforts and relate to both existing operations and those recently acquired. We have acquired certain businesses at beneficial values, such as Linde, Chubb and Kidde, with the expectation of restructuring the underlying cost structure in order to bring operating margins up to expected levels. Restructuring actions focus on streamlining costs through workforce reductions, the consolidation of manufacturing, sales and service facilities, and the transfer of work to more cost-effective locations. For acquisitions, the costs of restructuring actions, contemplated at the date of acquisition, are recorded under purchase accounting. Actions initiated subsequently are recorded through operating results.
2006 Actions. During 2006, we initiated restructuring actions relating to ongoing cost reduction efforts, including selling, general and administrative reductions, principally at Carrier and UTC Fire & Security; workforce reductions, principally in Korea at Otis and Carrier and voluntary separations at Sikorsky; and the consolidation of manufacturing facilities. These actions, when complete, will provide for workforce reductions of approximately 3,800 hourly and salaried employees, the exiting of approximately 500,000 net square feet of facilities and the disposal of assets associated with the exited facilities. Savings are expected to increase over the two-year period subsequent to initiating the actions, resulting in recurring pre-tax savings of approximately $150 million. We expect pre-tax cash outflows on these programs to be approximately $230 million, of which $130 million has been funded to date.

In 2006, Otis revenues increased $715 million (7%), reflecting growth in all geographic regions aided by a strong opening backlog in North America, Europe and China. The 2006 increase reflects volume growth (6%) and the favorable impact of foreign currency translation (1%). The 2005 increase of $638 million (7%) reflects volume growth (5%) in all geographic regions, and the favorable impact of foreign currency translation (2%).
Otis operating profits increased $176 million (10%) in 2006 compared with 2005. The operating profit increase reflects profit improvement at constant currency due to higher volume, product cost reduction and operational efficiencies (9%) and the favorable impact of foreign currency translation (1%). Operating profits increased $299 million (21%) in 2005 compared to 2004. The operating profit increase reflects profit improvement at constant currency due to higher volume, product cost reduction and operational efficiencies (12%), lower restructuring charges (7%) and the favorable impact of foreign currency translation (2%).
CARRIER is the world’s largest manufacturer and distributor of HVAC and refrigeration systems. It also produces food service equipment and HVAC and refrigeration related controls for residential, commercial, industrial and transportation applications. Carrier also provides installation, retrofit and aftermarket services and components for the products it sells and those of other manufacturers in the HVAC and refrigeration industries. Sales are made both directly to the end customer and through manufacturers’ representatives, distributors, wholesalers, dealers and retail outlets.
In the first half of 2006, strong demand in the commercial HVAC and refrigeration business, a positive North American construction market and a transition in the U.S. residential market to the higher value 13 SEER product, all contributed to generate strong organic growth. Volume growth within transport refrigeration was generated primarily in the truck/trailer refrigeration business as the container refrigeration market was essentially flat. While both the North American and international commercial HVAC and refrigeration markets remained strong throughout the balance of the year, a significant downturn in the North American residential housing industry and difficult compares from the 2005 13 SEER pre-buy led to declining orders and shipments in Carrier’s residential business in the second half of 2006. Carrier’s residential split system unit shipments dropped by approximately 30% in the third quarter and 50% in the fourth quarter. Further contributing to the second-half reduction in North American residential revenues was a decline in gas furnace shipments due to the softening housing market and the unseasonably mild weather at the end of 2006.
As a result of commodity cost increases in 2006 and 2005, Carrier implemented price increases on many of its products, which partially offset the impact in both years. Cost pressures from commodity price increases are expected to continue in 2007, however, we expect to offset these increases
through additional price increases. Certain of Carrier’s HVAC businesses are seasonal and are impacted by weather. Carrier customarily offers its customers incentives to purchase products to ensure adequate supply of our products in the distribution channel.
Carrier’s revenues increased $969 million (8%) in 2006 compared to 2005. Organic revenue growth for the year was 5%, driven primarily by the commercial and international HVAC businesses. Unit orders in the North American residential market declined substantially due to a market downturn and the 13 SEER pre-buy activity. However, revenues increased overall as a result of higher value 13 SEER product and pricing increases. Revenues from acquisitions (1%), the favorable impact of foreign currency translation (1%) and gains from dispositions (1%), principally the third quarter 2006 sale of Carrier’s interest in a compressor manufacturing joint venture, generated the remaining revenue growth. Revenues increased $1,892 million (18%) in 2005 compared to 2004. The increase primarily resulted from acquisitions (9%), principally Linde, and growth in the North American HVAC business (6%).
Carrier’s operating profits increased $133 million (12%) in 2006 compared to 2005. The operating profit improvement was generated principally by higher volumes and the benefits from previous restructuring actions, partially offset by manufacturing inefficiencies associated with the ramp up of 13 SEER production and the decline in North American residential volume (net 7%). Gains from dispositions (6%), principally the third quarter 2006 sale of Carrier’s interest in a compressor manufacturing joint venture, lower restructuring charges (1%) and the favorable impact of foreign currency translation (1%) were partially offset by the impact of higher commodity and energy costs, net of price increases (3%). Carrier’s operating profits increased $274 million (33%) in 2005 compared to 2004 due in large part to a reduction in restructuring charges of $161 million (19%). The net impact of higher volumes and restructuring benefits (15%), Linde (8%), and favorable currency translation (1%) was partially offset by higher commodity costs including a related last-in, first-out (LIFO) charge, net of price increases (6%) and the expenses related to the new 13 SEER platform (4%).
UTC FIRE & SECURITY is a global provider of security and fire safety products and services. We created the UTC Fire & Security segment in the second quarter of 2005 upon acquiring Kidde. The UTC Fire & Security segment includes our former Chubb segment, Kidde’s industrial, retail and commercial fire safety businesses and Lenel, a leader in the development and delivery of scalable, integrated security software systems and business solutions. In the electronic security industry, UTC Fire & Security provides system integration, installation and service of intruder alarms, access control systems and video
| 8 |
surveillance systems. In the fire safety industry, UTC Fire & Security designs, manufactures, integrates, installs and services fire and specialty hazard detection and fixed suppression systems and manufactures, sells and services portable fire extinguishers and other fire fighting equipment. UTC Fire & Security also provides monitoring, response and security personnel services, including cash-in-transit security, to complement its electronic security and fire safety businesses. UTC Fire & Security’s operations are predominantly outside the U.S. UTC Fire & Security sells directly to the customer as well as through manufacturers’ representatives, distributors and dealers.
UTC Fire & Security’s revenues increased $497 million (12%) in 2006 as compared with 2005 due largely to acquisitions (10%), principally Kidde, with volume, price increases and foreign exchange translation (combined 2%) contributing the remainder. Revenues increased $1,371 million (48%) in 2005 as compared with 2004 due largely to the acquisition of Kidde (43%) in the second quarter. Volume and pricing increases (combined 3%) and foreign currency translation (2%), contributed the remainder.
Operating profit increased $66 million (28%) in 2006 as compared with 2005. The majority of the operating profit increase was generated principally from the cost reductions realized on previous restructuring actions and some slight volume related impact (combined 35%), in line with management’s focus on integration efforts and margin expansion. Further operating profit increases from acquisitions (9%), principally Kidde, were offset by additional restructuring charges (10%) and the adverse impact of higher commodity costs (4%). Operating profit increased $105 million (81%) in 2005 as compared with 2004, with acquisitions (63%) contributing the majority. The balance of the operating profit increase was generated principally from increased volume, pricing and net cost reductions from previous restructuring actions (combined 27%), offset partially by additional restructuring charges (16%).
Aerospace Businesses
The financial performance of Pratt & Whitney, Hamilton Sundstrand and Sikorsky is directly tied to the economic conditions of the commercial aerospace and defense industries. Traffic growth, load factors, worldwide airline profits, general economic activity and global defense spending have been reliable indicators for new aircraft and aftermarket orders in the aerospace industry. Spare part sales and aftermarket service trends are affected by many factors including usage, pricing, regulatory changes and retirement of older aircraft. Performance in the general aviation sector is closely tied to the overall health of the economy and is positively correlated to corporate profits.
The continued growth in revenue passenger miles (RPMs) is benefiting both commercial aircraft production as well as aftermarket service and spares revenue levels. However, as the commercial airline industry continues its recovery after years of poor financial performance, which was exacerbated by escalating fuel prices, airlines and aircraft manufacturers will continue to pursue lower-cost products and services from their suppliers. The bankruptcy filings of major U.S. airlines during 2005 did not have a significant impact on our operating results. Notwithstanding the poor health of the airlines, strong production levels at airframers, as well as the continued high usage of aircraft, as evidenced by the growth in RPMs, drove growth in the aerospace businesses in 2006. Growth was further augmented by strong commercial helicopter sales, resulting partially from higher corporate profits and increased oil industry activity, and record military helicopter orders. Further increases in RPMs and continued positive global economic conditions are expected to result in additional increases to commercial aerospace volume in 2007. However, the rate of growth in the commercial aerospace aftermarket realized in 2006 is not expected to be sustainable and is projected to decline in 2007 to approximately half of the 2006 levels.
Our total sales to the U.S. government increased in 2006 to $6.4 billion or 14% of total sales, compared with $5.8 billion or 14% of total sales in 2005 and $5.5 billion or 15% of total sales in 2004. The defense portion of our aerospace business is affected by changes in market demand and the global political environment. Our participation in long-term production and development programs for the U.S. government has contributed positively to our results in 2006 and is expected to continue to benefit results in 2007.
PRATT & WHITNEY is among the world’s leading suppliers of commercial, general aviation and military aircraft engines. Pratt & Whitney’s Global Service Partners provides maintenance, repair and overhaul services, including the sale of spare parts, as well as fleet management services. Pratt & Whitney produces families of engines for wide, narrow body and military aircraft that power both Boeing and Airbus aircraft. Pratt & Whitney also sells engines for auxiliary power units, industrial applications and space propulsion systems. Pratt & Whitney Canada (P&WC) is a world leader for engines powering business, regional, light jet, utility and military aircraft and helicopters. Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne (PWR) is a leader in the design, development and manufacture of sophisticated aerospace propulsion systems for military and commercial applications, including the space shuttle. Pratt & Whitney’s products are sold principally to aircraft manufacturers, airlines and other aircraft operators, aircraft leasing companies, space launch vehicle providers and U.S. and foreign governments. During 2006, Pratt & Whitney launched Global Material Solutions, a new business that intends to engineer, certify, manufacture, sell, distribute and service new OEM caliber parts, including life limited parts, for CFM56-3® engines.

Operating profits increased $92 million (16%) in 2005 as compared with 2004 due principally to the net impact of acquisitions and divestitures (11%) and volume growth in both the commercial aftermarket (6%) and industrial businesses (2%). This operating profit improvement was partially offset by the effects of increased development spending, net of gains on the disposition of noncore businesses, principally Falk.
SIKORSKY is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of military and commercial helicopters and also provides aftermarket helicopter and aircraft parts and services. Current production programs at Sikorsky include the UH-60L and UH-60M Black Hawk medium-transport helicopters for the U.S. and foreign governments, the MH-60S and MH-60R helicopters for the U.S. Navy, the International Naval Hawk for multiple naval missions, and the S-76 and the S-92 helicopters for commercial operations. Sikorsky is also developing the U.S. Marine Corps CH-53K next generation heavy lift helicopter. Sikorsky’s aftermarket business includes spare parts sales, overhaul and repair services, maintenance contracts, and logistics support programs for helicopters and other aircraft. Sales are made directly by Sikorsky and by its subsidiaries and joint ventures. Sikorsky is increasingly engaging in logistics support programs and partnering with its government and commercial customers to manage and provide maintenance and repair services.
As discussed previously, Sikorsky’s operating results were adversely impacted by a strike of its union workforce from February through early April 2006. Although helicopter deliveries improved significantly following the resumption of full production after settlement of the strike, Sikorsky incurred additional manufacturing costs as it worked to accommodate the steep ramp up needed to meet the requirements of both a record backlog and more complex helicopters. Concurrently, Sikorsky also worked to reconfigure its manufacturing processes, including the sourcing of certain manufacturing activities.
Sikorsky’s revenues increased $428 million (15%) in 2006 as compared to 2005. Increases in commercial and military aircraft deliveries (2%), strong aftermarket sales (5%) and acquisitions (5%) contributed the majority of the increase in revenues. The remainder of the revenue increase was attributable to program support and development efforts. Revenues increased $296 million (12%) in 2005 as compared to 2004 with commercial aircraft deliveries (10%) and strong aftermarket sales (10%), offsetting the loss of Comanche revenues (10%).
Sikorsky’s operating profit decreased $77 million (31%) in 2006 as compared to 2005. The profit contribution from higher revenues was more than offset by higher manufacturing costs at Sikorsky related to the strike and subsequent ramp up to full production (net 16%). The adverse impact of commodity and energy prices (10%) and an increase in restructuring costs (7%), offset in part by the contribution from acquisitions (2%), comprised the remainder. Operating profit increased $50 million (25%) in
2005 as compared to 2004 due principally to higher aircraft and aftermarket volume (47%). The balance of the operating profit change primarily reflects the termination of the Comanche program (12%) and an increase in development spending (11%), offset by lower restructuring charges (3%).

We adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans – an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R)” (SFAS 158) on December 31, 2006. The adoption resulted in a decrease in total assets by approximately $2.4 billion, an increase of total liabilities by approximately $549 million and a reduction of total shareowners’ equity by approximately $1.8 billion, net of tax. The impact of the adoption had an adverse impact on our debt to total capitalization and net debt to net capitalization of two percentage points in 2006.
We assess our liquidity in terms of our ability to generate cash to fund our operating, investing and financing activities. Our principal source of liquidity is operating cash flows, which, after netting out capital expenditures, we target to equal or exceed net income. In addition to operating cash flows, other significant factors that affect our overall management of liquidity include: capital expenditures, customer financing requirements, investments in businesses, dividends, common stock repurchases, pension funding, adequacy of available bank lines of credit, and the ability to attract long-term capital at satisfactory terms.

from the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. The most significant areas involving management judgments and estimates are described below. Actual results in these areas could differ from management’s estimates.
LONG-TERM CONTRACT ACCOUNTING. We utilize percentage of completion accounting on certain of our long-term contracts. The percentage of completion method requires estimates of future revenues and costs over the full term of product delivery.
Losses, if any, on long-term contracts are provided for when anticipated. We recognize loss provisions on original equipment contracts to the extent that estimated inventoriable manufacturing, engineering, product warranty and product performance guarantee costs exceed the projected revenue from the products contemplated under the contractual arrangement. Products contemplated under the contractual arrangement include products purchased under the contract and, in the aerospace businesses, required replacement parts that are purchased separately and subsequently for incorporation into the original equipment. Revenue projections used in determining contract loss provisions are based upon estimates of the quantity, pricing and timing of future product deliveries. We recognize losses on shipment to the extent that inventoriable manufacturing costs, estimated warranty costs and product performance guarantee costs exceed revenue realized. We measure the extent of progress toward completion on our long-term commercial aerospace equipment and helicopter contracts using units of delivery. In addition, we use the cost-to-cost method for development contracts in the aerospace businesses and for elevator and escalator sales, installation and modernization contracts in the commercial businesses. For long-term aftermarket contracts, we recognize revenue over the contract period in proportion to the costs expected to be incurred in performing services under the contract. Contract accounting also requires estimates of future costs over the performance period of the contract as well as an estimate of award fees and other sources of revenue.
Contract costs are incurred over a period of time, which can be several years, and the estimation of these costs requires management’s judgment. The long-term nature of these contracts, the complexity of the products, and the strict safety and performance standards under which they are regulated can affect our ability to estimate costs precisely. As a result, we review and update our cost estimates on significant contracts on a quarterly basis, and no less than annually for all others, or when circumstances change and warrant a modification to a previous estimate. We record adjustments to contract loss provisions in earnings when identified.
INCOME TAXES. The future tax benefit arising from net deductible temporary differences and tax carryforwards is $3.0 billion at December 31, 2006 and $2.1 billion at December 31, 2005. Management believes that our earnings during the periods when the temporary differences become
deductible will be sufficient to realize the related future income tax benefits. For those jurisdictions where the expiration date of tax carryforwards or the projected operating results indicate that realization is not likely, a valuation allowance is provided.
In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, we estimate future taxable income, considering the feasibility of ongoing tax planning strategies and the realizability of tax loss carryforwards. Valuation allowances related to deferred tax assets can be affected by changes to tax laws, changes to statutory tax rates and future taxable income levels. In the event we were to determine that we would not be able to realize all or a portion of our deferred tax assets in the future, we would reduce such amounts through a charge to income in the period in which that determination is made. Conversely, if we were to determine that we would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future in excess of the net carrying amounts, we would decrease the recorded valuation allowance through an increase to income in the period in which that determination is made. Subsequently recognized tax benefits associated with valuation allowances recorded in a business combination will be recorded as an adjustment to goodwill.
We have exposures related to tax filings in the ordinary course of business. We periodically assess our liabilities and contingencies for all tax years under audit based upon the latest information available. For those matters where it is probable that an adjustment will be asserted, we have recorded our best estimate of the tax liability, including related interest charges, in our Consolidated Financial Statements. See Notes 1 and 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.
GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS. Our net investments in businesses in 2006 totaled $1.0 billion, including approximately $138 million of debt assumed. The assets and liabilities of acquired businesses are recorded under the purchase method of accounting at their estimated fair values at the dates of acquisition. Goodwill represents costs in excess of fair values assigned to the underlying net assets of acquired businesses. We have recorded goodwill of $14.1 billion at December 31, 2006 and $13.0 billion at December 31, 2005.
Goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are not amortized, but are subject to annual impairment testing. The identification and measurement of goodwill impairment involves the estimation of the fair value of reporting units. The estimates of fair value of reporting units are based on the best information available as of the date of the assessment, which primarily incorporate management assumptions about expected future cash flows and contemplate other
| 14 |
valuation techniques. Future cash flows can be affected by changes in industry or market conditions or the rate and extent to which anticipated synergies or cost savings are realized with newly acquired entities. Although no goodwill impairment has been recorded to date, there can be no assurances that future goodwill impairments will not occur. See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.
PRODUCT PERFORMANCE. We extend performance and operating cost guarantees beyond our normal service and warranty policies for extended periods on some of our products, particularly commercial aircraft engines. Liability under such guarantees is based upon future product performance and durability. In addition, we incur discretionary costs to service our products in connection with product performance issues. We accrue for such costs that are probable and can be reasonably estimated. The costs associated with these product performance and operating cost guarantees require estimates over the full terms of the agreements, and require management to consider factors such as the extent of future maintenance requirements and the future cost of material and labor to perform the services. These cost estimates are largely based upon historical experience. See Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.
CONTRACTING WITH THE U.S. GOVERNMENT. Our contracts with the U.S. government are subject to government oversight and audit. Like many defense contractors, we have received audit reports, which recommend that certain contract prices should be reduced to comply with various government regulations. Some of these audit reports have involved substantial amounts. We have made voluntary refunds in those cases we believe appropriate. In addition, we accrue for liabilities associated with those government contracting matters that are probable and can be reasonably estimated. The inherent uncertainty related to the outcome of these matters can result in amounts materially different from any provisions made with respect to their resolution. See Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion. We recorded sales to the U.S. government of $6.4 billion in 2006 and $5.8 billion in 2005.
EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS. We sponsor domestic and foreign defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans. Major assumptions used in the accounting for these employee benefit plans include the discount rate, expected return on plan assets, rate of increase in employee compensation levels, and health care cost increase projections. Assumptions are determined based on company data and appropriate market indicators, and are evaluated each year as of the plans’ measurement date. A change in any of these assumptions would have an effect on net periodic pension and postretirement benefit costs reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements.
The weighted-average discount rate used to measure pension liabilities and costs is set by reference to published high-quality bond indices. However, these indices give only an indication of the appropriate discount rate because the cash flows of the bonds comprising the indices do not match the projected benefit payment stream of the plan precisely. For this reason, we also consider the individual characteristics of the plan, such as projected cash flow patterns and payment durations, when setting the discount rate. Market interest rates were essentially flat in 2006 as compared with 2005 and, as a result, the weighted-average discount rate used to measure pension liabilities and costs essentially remained flat at 5.4%. Pension expense in 2007 is expected to decline as the amortization of prior investment losses begins to be replaced with the amortization of prior investment gains. See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations
We extend a variety of financial guarantees to third parties in support of unconsolidated affiliates and for potential financing requirements of commercial aerospace customers. We also have obligations arising from sales of certain businesses and assets, including representations and warranties and related indemnities for environmental, health and safety, tax, and employment matters. Circumstances that could cause the contingent obligations and liabilities arising from these arrangements to come to fruition are changes in an underlying transaction (e.g., hazardous waste discoveries, adverse tax audit, etc.), nonperformance under a contract, customer requests for financing, or deterioration in the financial condition of the guaranteed party.

as hedges of the cash flow variability that results from the forecasted purchases. Gains and losses on those derivatives are deferred in other comprehensive income to the extent they are effective as hedges and reclassified into cost of products sold in the period in which the hedged transaction affects earnings.
Environmental Matters
Our operations are subject to environmental regulation by federal, state and local authorities in the U.S. and regulatory authorities with jurisdiction over our foreign operations. As a result, we have established, and continually update, policies relating to environmental standards of performance for our operations worldwide. We believe that expenditures necessary to comply with the present regulations governing environmental protection will not have a material effect upon our competitive position, consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
We have identified approximately 556 locations, mostly in the United States, at which we may have some liability for remediating contamination. We do not believe that any individual location’s exposure will have a material effect on our results of operations. Sites in the investigation, remediation or operation and maintenance stage represent approximately 93% of our accrued environmental liability.
We have been identified as a potentially responsible party under the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA or Superfund) at approximately 106 sites. The number of Superfund sites, in and of itself, does not represent a relevant measure of liability because the nature and extent of environmental concerns vary from site to site and our share of responsibility varies from sole responsibility to very little responsibility. In estimating our liability for remediation, we consider our likely proportionate share of the anticipated remediation expense and the ability of other potentially responsible parties to fulfill their obligations.
At December 31, 2006, we had $539 million reserved for environmental remediation. Cash outflows for environmental remediation were $79 million in 2006, $43 million in 2005 and $49 million in 2004. We estimate that ongoing environmental remediation expenditures in each of the next two years will approximate $75 million.
Government Matters
As described in the “Critical Accounting Estimates – Contracting with the U.S. government,” our contracts with the U.S. government are subject to audits. Such audits may recommend that certain contract prices should be reduced to comply with various government regulations. We are also the subject of one or more investigations and legal proceedings initiated by the U.S. government with respect to government contract matters.
As previously disclosed and described in Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, we were in litigation with the Department of Defense (DoD) as to whether Pratt & Whitney’s government cost accounting practices for engine parts produced by foreign companies under commercial collaboration programs since 1984 were acceptable. In 2001, the U.S. Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals (ASBCA) ruled in our favor, but the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit reversed in 2003 and remanded the case to the ASBCA to determine the appropriate accounting. The U.S. Supreme Court declined to review that decision. In November 2003, the DoD supplemented its claim to add damages and interest for the period after 1996, bringing the DoD’s claim to approximately $367 million in damages through 2002 and approximately $388 million in interest through 2001. Our appeal of this supplemental claim was consolidated with the original matter. On June 5, 2006, we entered into an agreement with the DoD to pay $283 million in settlement of this litigation and paid the entire settlement amount in July 2006.
In addition and as previously disclosed, the U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ) sued us in 1999 under the civil False Claims Act and other theories related to the “Fighter Engine Competition” between Pratt & Whitney’s F100 engine and GE’s F110 engine. The DoJ alleges that the government overpaid for engines because Pratt & Whitney inflated certain costs and withheld data. The government claims damages of $624 million. We believe this estimate is substantially overstated, deny any liability and are vigorously defending the matter. Trial of this matter was completed in December 2004, and a decision is pending. This matter is described in Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Should the U.S. government ultimately prevail with respect to the foregoing government contracting matter, the outcome could result in a material effect on our results of operations in the period in which a liability would be recognized or cash flows for the period in which damages would be paid. However, we believe that the resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, competitive position, cash flows or financial condition.
As previously reported, the European Commission’s Competition Directorate (EU Commission) conducted inspections in early 2004 at offices of our Otis subsidiary in Berlin, Brussels, Luxembourg and Paris relating to an investigation of possible unlawful collusive arrangements involving the European elevator and escalator industry. Based on the result of our own internal investigation, we believe that some Otis employees engaged in activities at a local level in Belgium,
| 17 |
Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Germany in violation of Otis and UTC policies and European competition law. On October 13, 2005, we received a Statement of Objections (SO) from the EU Commission relating to this investigation. The SO, an administrative complaint, alleges infringements of EU competition rules by certain elevator companies, including Otis, in Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Germany. We responded to the SO on February 21, 2006 and have cooperated fully with the EU Commission. We expect the EU Commission to issue a decision in the near term, but cannot reasonably estimate the range of civil fines to which we or Otis would likely be subject. The aggregate amount of such fines could be material to our operating results for the period in which the liability would be recognized or cash flows for the period in which the fines would be paid. We do not believe that any such fines would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, or that resolution of this matter would have a material adverse effect on Otis’ competitive position.
Since the EU Commission’s investigation became public, class action lawsuits were filed in various federal district courts in the United States alleging that we, Otis and other elevator manufacturers engaged in violations of Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Act. Those lawsuits were transferred to and consolidated in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. On June 6, 2006, the district court judge granted our motion to dismiss without leave to replead. On June 30, 2006, the plaintiffs appealed this decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. We expect a decision in the second or third quarter of 2007. We continue to believe that this litigation is without merit.
Additional discussion of our environmental, U.S. Government contract matters, product performance and other contingent liabilities is included in “Critical Accounting Estimates” and Notes 1, 13 and 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. For additional discussion of our legal proceedings, see Item 3, “Legal Proceedings,” in our 2006 Form 10-K.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a Proposed Statement of Financial Accounting Standards which amends FASB Statement No. 128, “Earnings per Share”. The proposed statement is intended to clarify guidance on the computation of earnings per share for certain items such as mandatorily convertible instruments, the treasury stock method, and contingently issuable shares. We have evaluated the proposed statement as presently drafted and have determined that if adopted in its current form it would not have a significant impact on the computation of our earnings per share.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” which is effective for fiscal years beginning
after November 15, 2007 and for interim periods within those years. This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands the related disclosure requirements. We have evaluated the new statement and have determined that it will not have a significant impact on the determination or reporting of our financial results.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans – an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R)” (SFAS 158). This statement requires balance sheet recognition of the overfunded or underfunded status of pension and postretirement benefit plans. Under SFAS 158, actuarial gains and losses, prior service costs or credits, and any remaining transition assets or obligations that have not been recognized under previous accounting standards must be recognized in Accumulated Other Non-Shareowners’ Changes in Equity, net of tax effects, until they are amortized as a component of net periodic benefit cost. In addition, the measurement date (the date at which plan assets and the benefit obligation are measured) is required to be the Company’s fiscal year end. Presently, we use a November 30 measurement date for a majority of our pension and postretirement benefit plans. We adopted the recognition provisions of SFAS 158 effective December 31, 2006, except for the measurement date provisions, which are not effective until fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. However, we have early-adopted the measurement date provisions effective January 1, 2007. The non-cash effect of the adoption resulted in a decrease to total assets of approximately $2.4 billion, an increase to total liabilities of approximately $549 million and a reduction to total shareowners’ equity of approximately $1.8 billion, net of tax. The adoption of SFAS 158 did not affect our results of operations.
In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. This interpretation was issued to clarify the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements by prescribing a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. We are evaluating our tax positions and anticipate that the Interpretation will not have a significant impact on our results of operations.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The management of UTC is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Management has assessed the effectiveness of UTC’s internal
control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006. In making its assessment, management has utilized the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control – Integrated Framework. Management concluded that based on its assessment, UTC’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2006. UTC management’s assessment of the effectiveness of UTC’s internal control over financial reporting, as of December 31, 2006, has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears on page 21.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Shareowners of United Technologies Corporation:
We have completed integrated audits of United Technologies Corporation’s consolidated financial statements and of its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006 in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Our opinions, based on our audits, are presented below.
Consolidated financial statements
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of operations, of cash flows and of changes in shareowners’ equity present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of United Technologies Corporation and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit of financial statements includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
As discussed in Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements, the Corporation has recognized conditional asset retirement obligations to conform with the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 47, Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations as of December 31, 2005, and recognized the funded status of its benefit plans in accordance with the provisions of FASB Statement No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans — an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R), as of December 31, 2006.
Internal control over financial reporting
Also, in our opinion, management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, that the Corporation maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006 based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of
the Treadway Commission (COSO), is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on those criteria. Furthermore, in our opinion, the Corporation maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the COSO. The Corporation’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on management’s assessment and on the effectiveness of the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit of internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. An audit of internal control over financial reporting includes obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we consider necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.
A corporation’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A corporation’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the corporation; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the corporation are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the corporation; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the corporation’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Sales under elevator and escalator sales, installation and modernization contracts are accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method.
Losses, if any, on contracts are provided for when anticipated. Loss provisions on original equipment contracts are recognized to the extent that estimated inventoriable manufacturing, engineering, product warranty and product performance guarantee costs exceed the projected revenue from the products contemplated under the contractual arrangement. Products contemplated under the contractual arrangement include products purchased under the contract and, in the aerospace business, required replacement parts that are purchased separately and subsequently for incorporation into the original equipment. Revenue projections used in determining contract loss provisions are based upon estimates of the quantity, pricing and timing of future product deliveries. Losses are recognized on shipment to the extent that inventoriable manufacturing costs, estimated warranty costs and product performance guarantee costs exceed revenue realized. Contract accounting requires estimates of future costs over the performance period of the contract as well as estimates of award fees and other sources of revenue. These estimates are subject to change and result in adjustments to margins on contracts in progress. The extent of progress toward completion on our long-term commercial aerospace equipment and helicopter contracts is measured using units of delivery. In addition, we use the cost-to-cost method for development contracts in the aerospace businesses and for elevator and escalator sales, installation and modernization contracts. For long-term aftermarket contracts, revenue is recognized over the contract period in proportion to the costs expected to be incurred in performing services under the contract. We review our cost estimates on significant contracts on a quarterly basis, and for others, no less frequently than annually or when circumstances change and warrant a modification to a previous estimate. Adjustments to contract loss provisions are recorded in earnings upon identification.
Service sales, representing aftermarket repair and maintenance activities, are recognized over the contractual period or as services are performed.
Revenues from engine programs under collaboration agreements are recorded as earned and the collaborator share of revenue is recorded as a reduction of revenue at that time. The collaborator share of revenues under Pratt & Whitney’s engine programs was approximately $795 million, $664 million and $583 million for 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Costs associated with engine programs under collaboration agreements are expensed as incurred. The collaborator share of program costs is recorded as a reduction of the related expense item at that time.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Research and development costs not specifically covered by contracts and those related to the company sponsored share of research and development activity in connection with cost-sharing arrangements are charged to expense as incurred. Government research and development support, not associated with specific contracts, is recorded as a reduction to research and development expense in the period earned. Repayment, if any, is in the form of future royalties and is conditioned upon the achievement of certain financial targets.
Research and development costs incurred under contracts with customers are expensed as incurred and are reported as a component of cost of products sold. Revenue from such contracts is recognized as product sales when earned.
FOREIGN EXCHANGE AND HEDGING ACTIVITY. We conduct business in many different currencies and, accordingly, are subject to the inherent risks associated with foreign exchange rate movements. The financial position and results of operations of substantially all of our foreign subsidiaries are measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates existing at the respective balance sheet dates, and income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates during the respective periods. The aggregate effects of translating the balance sheets of these subsidiaries are deferred as a separate component of Shareowners’ Equity.
We use derivative instruments, including swaps, forward contracts and options, to manage certain foreign currency, interest rate and commodity price exposures. Derivative instruments are viewed as risk management tools by us and are not used for trading or speculative purposes. Derivatives used for hedging purposes must be designated and effective as a hedge of the identified risk exposure at the inception of the contract. Accordingly, changes in fair value of the derivative contract must be highly correlated with changes in the fair value of the underlying hedged item at inception of the hedge and over the life of the hedge contract.
All derivative instruments are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives used to hedge foreign-currency-denominated balance sheet items are reported directly in earnings along with offsetting transaction gains and losses on the items being hedged. Derivatives used to hedge forecasted cash flows associated with foreign currency commitments or forecasted commodity purchases are accounted for as cash flow hedges. Gains and losses on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are recorded in other comprehensive income and reclassified to earnings in a manner that matches the timing of the earnings impact of the hedged transactions. The ineffective portion of all hedges, if any, is recognized currently in earnings.

In connection with the acquisition of Kidde, we recorded $966 million of identifiable intangible assets. The Kidde trademark, valued at $132 million, was assigned an indefinite life. The amortized intangible assets and the weighted-average amortization periods are as follows: trademarks - $73 million (15 years), customer relationships - $696 million (3-32 years) and completed technology - $65 million (10 years).
Beginning in the second quarter of 2005, Kidde’s aircraft fire protection systems business was included in our Hamilton Sundstrand segment, while Kidde’s industrial fire protection and residential and commercial fire safety businesses were consolidated with Chubb creating the UTC Fire & Security segment.
Rocketdyne was acquired on August 2, 2005 for a purchase price of approximately $700 million in cash. Rocketdyne is a leader in sophisticated aerospace propulsion systems including the space shuttle main engine and engines used on the Delta rocket programs. We recorded approximately $439 million of goodwill and $87 million of intangible assets in connection with this acquisition. The addition of Rocketdyne strengthens our core space propulsion, power and exploration business by increasing product breadth and leveraging complementary technologies. The Rocketdyne business has been integrated into our existing space propulsion, space power and energy businesses within the Pratt & Whitney and Hamilton Sundstrand segments.
In May 2005, we completed the acquisition of Lenel for approximately $440 million. Lenel provides software and integrated systems for the corporate and government security markets and will provide us with high-end technological access to these markets as part of UTC’s Fire & Security segment. We recorded approximately $380 million of goodwill and $80 million of intangible assets in connection with this acquisition.
In October 2005, we acquired the remaining 19.9% minority interest in our joint venture, Otis LG Elevator Company for $315 million and renamed the company Otis Elevator Korea. As part of the acquisition, we recorded $168 million of goodwill and $27 million of other identifiable intangible assets.
The 2004 investments in businesses include the purchase of slightly less than 20% of Kidde shares for $450 million and Carrier’s acquisition of Linde AG’s refrigeration division for $324 million, including assumed debt of $162 million.
The assets and liabilities of the acquired businesses are accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and recorded at their fair values at the dates of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired was recorded as an increase in goodwill of $646 million in 2006, $3.3 billion in 2005, and $471 million in 2004. The results of operations of acquired businesses have been included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations beginning as of the effective date of acquisition. The final purchase price allocation for acquisitions is subject to the finalization of the valuation of certain assets and liabilities, plans for consolidation of facilities and relocation of employees and other integration activities. As a result, preliminary amounts assigned to assets and liabilities will be subject to revision in future periods.

connection with V2500 engine sales. At December 31, 2006, IAE had financing commitments of $815 million and asset value guarantees of $45 million. Our share of IAE’s financing commitments and asset value guarantees was approximately $280 million at December 31, 2006. In addition, IAE had lease obligations under long-term noncancelable leases of approximately $348 million, on an undiscounted basis, through 2020 related to aircraft, which are subleased to customers under long-term leases. These aircraft have fair market values, which approximate the financed amounts, net of reserves. The shareholders of IAE have guaranteed IAE’s financing arrangements to the extent of their respective ownership interests. In the event of default by a shareholder on certain of these financing arrangements, the other shareholders would be proportionately responsible.
Total reserves related to receivables and financing assets, financing commitments and guarantees were $287 million at December 31, 2006 and 2005.

At December 31, 2006, we had credit commitments from banks totaling $2.5 billion. We had a credit commitment of $1.5 billion under a revolving credit agreement, which serves as a backup facility for the issuance of commercial paper. This revolving credit agreement was renewed in October 2006 and will expire in October 2011. In November 2006, we entered into a $1.0 billion multi-currency revolving credit agreement that is to be used for general corporate funding purposes, including acquisitions. There were no borrowings under either of these revolving credit agreements at December 31, 2006.
In May 2006, we issued $1.1 billion of long-term debt, the proceeds of which were used to repay commercial paper borrowings. We generally use our commercial paper borrowings for general corporate purposes including financing acquisitions and the repurchase of our stock. The long-term debt issued in May 2006 is comprised of two series of notes as follows:
| (in millions of dollars) | ||||||||
| Principal | Rate | Maturity | ||||||
| $ | 600 | 6.05 | % | June 1, 2036 | ||||
| $ | 500 | LIBOR + .07 | % | June 1, 2009 | ||||
We may redeem the notes due in 2009, in whole or in part, at any time after June 1, 2007 at a redemption price in U.S. dollars equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus interest accrued.
In April 2005, we issued $2.4 billion of long-term debt, the proceeds of which were used primarily to support the funding of the Kidde acquisition. The long-term debt is comprised of three series of notes as follows:
| (in millions of dollars) | ||||||||
| Principal | Rate | Maturity | ||||||

At December 31, 2006, up to approximately $900 million of additional debt and equity securities could be issued under a shelf registration statement on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The percentage of total debt at floating interest rates was 17% and 26% at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Future income taxes represent the tax effects of transactions, which are reported in different periods for tax and financial reporting purposes. These amounts consist of the tax effects of temporary differences between the tax and financial reporting balance sheets and tax carryforwards. Pursuant to SFAS 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, current and non-current future income tax benefits and payables within the same tax jurisdiction are generally offset for presentation in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The tax effects of net temporary differences and tax carryforwards which gave rise to future income tax benefits and payables at December 31, 2006 and 2005 are as follows:

Valuation allowances have been established primarily for tax credit, tax loss carryforwards, and certain foreign temporary differences to reduce the future income tax benefits to expected realizable amounts. Of the total valuation allowance amount of $542 million, $307 million was established in purchase accounting, relating primarily to the purchase of Chubb. Subsequently recognized tax benefits associated with a valuation allowance recorded in a business combination will be recorded as an adjustment to goodwill.

United States income taxes have not been provided on undistributed earnings of international subsidiaries. It is not practicable to estimate the amount of tax that might be payable. Our intention is to reinvest these earnings permanently or to repatriate the earnings only when it is tax effective to do so. Accordingly, we believe that any U.S. tax on repatriated earnings would be substantially offset by U.S. foreign tax credits.
The American Jobs Creation Act, signed into law in October of 2004, provided an opportunity in 2005 to repatriate up to $500 million of reinvested foreign earnings and to claim an 85% dividend received deduction against the repatriated amount. We evaluated the potential effects of the repatriation provision and determined not to repatriate earnings under this provision.
Differences between effective income tax rates and the statutory U.S. federal income tax rates are as follows:
| 2006 | 2005 | 2004 | |||||||

The effective tax rate for 2006, 2005 and 2004 reflects the tax benefit associated with lower tax rates on international earnings, which we intend to permanently reinvest outside the United States.
In the normal course of business, various tax authorities examine us, including the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The 2005 effective tax rate reflects an approximately $66 million reduction in tax expense primarily as a result of the reevaluation of our liabilities and contingencies in light of the completion and commencement of exam cycles. In 2006, a residual disputed issue related to the 1999 disposition of a business segment was settled with the Appeals Division of the IRS and was

The amounts included in Other in the preceding table reflect the impact of foreign exchange translation, primarily for plans in England and Canada, and amendments to certain domestic plans.
Qualified domestic pension plan benefits comprise approximately 72% of the projected benefit obligation. Benefits for union employees are generally based on a stated amount for each year of service. For non-union employees, benefits are generally based on an employee’s years of service and compensation near retirement. A cash balance formula was adopted in 2003 for newly hired non-union employees and for other non-union employees who made a one-time voluntary election to have future benefit accruals determined under this formula. Certain foreign plans, which comprise approximately 26% of the projected benefit obligation, are considered defined benefit plans for accounting purposes. Nonqualified domestic pension plans provide supplementary retirement benefits to certain employees and are not a material component of the projected benefit obligation.

[note 14] Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
LEASES. We occupy space and use certain equipment under lease arrangements. Rental commitments of $1,382 million at December 31, 2006 under long-term noncancelable operating leases are payable as follows: $372 million in 2007, $289 million in 2008, $215 million in 2009, $153 million in 2010, $103 million in 2011 and $250 million thereafter. Rent expense was $373 million in 2006, $299 million in 2005 and $321 million in 2004.
Additional information pertaining to commercial aerospace rental commitments is included in Note 4.
ENVIRONMENTAL. Our operations are subject to environmental regulation by federal, state and local authorities in the United States and regulatory authorities with jurisdiction over our foreign operations. As described in Note 1, we have accrued for the costs of environmental remediation activities and periodically reassess these amounts. We believe that the likelihood of incurring losses materially in excess of amounts accrued is remote.
GOVERNMENT. We are now, and believe that in light of the current U.S. government contracting environment we will continue to be, the subject of one or more U.S. government investigations. If we or one of our business units were charged with wrongdoing as a result of any of these investigations or other government investigations (including violations of certain environmental or export laws) the U.S. government could suspend us from bidding on or receiving awards of new U.S. government contracts pending the completion of legal proceedings. If convicted or found liable, the U.S. government could fine and debar us from new U.S. government contracting for a period generally not to exceed three years. The U.S. government could void any contracts found to be tainted by fraud.
Our contracts with the U.S. government are also subject to audits. Like many defense contractors, we have received audit reports, which recommend that certain contract prices should be reduced to comply with various government regulations. Some of these audit reports involved substantial amounts. We have made voluntary refunds in those cases we believe appropriate and continue to litigate certain cases. In addition, we accrue for liabilities associated with those matters that are probable and can be reasonably estimated.
As previously disclosed, we had been in litigation with the Department of Defense (DoD) as to whether Pratt & Whitney’s government cost accounting practices for engine parts produced by foreign companies under commercial collaboration programs since 1984 were acceptable. In 2001, the U.S. Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals (ASBCA) ruled in our favor, but the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit reversed in 2003 and remanded the case to the ASBCA to determine the appropriate accounting. The U.S. Supreme Court declined to review that decision. In November 2003, the DoD supplemented its claim to add damages and interest for the period after 1996, bringing the DoD’s claim to approximately $367 million in damages through 2002 and approximately $388 million in interest through 2001. Our appeal of this supplemental claim was consolidated with the original matter. On June 5, 2006 we entered into an agreement with the DoD to pay $283 million in settlement of this litigation and paid the entire settlement amount in July 2006.
In addition and as previously disclosed, the U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ) sued us in 1999 under the civil False Claims Act and other theories related to the “Fighter Engine Competition” between Pratt & Whitney’s F100 engine and GE’s F110 engine. The DoJ alleges that the Government overpaid for engines because Pratt & Whitney inflated certain costs and withheld data. The Government claims damages of $624 million. We believe this estimate is substantially overstated, deny any liability and are vigorously defending the matter. Trial of this matter was completed in December 2004 and a decision is pending. Should the U.S. government ultimately prevail with respect to the foregoing government contracting matter, the outcome could result in a material effect on our results of operations in the period in which a liability would be recognized or cash flows for the period in which damages would be paid. However, we believe that the resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, competitive position, cash flows or financial condition.
As previously reported, the European Commission’s Competition Directorate (EU Commission) conducted inspections in early 2004 at offices of our Otis subsidiary in Berlin, Brussels, Luxembourg and Paris relating to an investigation of possible unlawful collusive arrangements involving the European elevator and escalator industry. Based on the result of our own internal investigation, we believe that some Otis employees engaged in activities at a local level in Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Germany in violation of Otis and UTC policies and European competition law. On
| 47 |
October 13, 2005, we received a Statement of Objections (SO) from the EU Commission relating to this investigation. The SO, an administrative complaint, alleges infringements of EU competition rules by certain elevator companies, including Otis, in Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Germany. We responded to the SO on February 21, 2006 and have cooperated fully with the EU Commission. We expect the EU Commission to issue a decision in the near term, but cannot reasonably estimate the range of civil fines to which we or Otis would likely be subject. The aggregate amount of such fines could be material to our operating results for the period in which the liability would be recognized or cash flows for the period in which the fines would be paid. We do not believe that any such fines would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, or that the resolution of this matter would have a material adverse effect on Otis’ competitive position.
Since the EU Commission’s investigation became public, class action lawsuits were filed in various federal district courts in the United States alleging that we, Otis and other elevator manufacturers engaged in violations of Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Act. Those lawsuits were transferred to and consolidated in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. On June 6, 2006, the district court judge granted our motion to dismiss without leave to replead. On June 30, 2006, the plaintiffs appealed this decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. We expect a decision in the second or third quarter of 2007. We continue to believe this litigation is without merit.
OTHER. As described in Note 13, we extend performance and operating cost guarantees beyond our normal warranty and service policies for extended periods on some of our products. We have accrued our estimate of the liability that may result under these guarantees and for service costs, which are probable and can be reasonably estimated.
We have accrued for environmental investigatory, remediation, operating and maintenance costs, performance guarantees and other litigation and claims based on our estimate of the probable outcome of these matters. While it is possible that the outcome of these matters may differ from the recorded liability, we believe the resolution of these matters will not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
We also have other commitments and contingent liabilities related to legal proceedings, self-insurance programs and matters arising out of the normal course of business.
