UNITED TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements at March 31, 2014 and for the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 are unaudited, but in the opinion of management include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. The results reported in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should not necessarily be taken as indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year amounts to conform to the current year presentation. The financial information included herein should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes in our Annual Report to Shareowners (2013 Annual Report) incorporated by reference to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for calendar year 2013 (2013 Form 10-K).
Note 1: Acquisitions, Dispositions, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Business Acquisitions and Dispositions. During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, our cash investment in business acquisitions was $17 million, and consisted of a number of small acquisitions, primarily in our commercial businesses.
As a result of the 2012 transactions related to IAE International Aero Engines AG (IAE), Pratt & Whitney holds a 61% net interest in the collaboration and a 49.5% ownership interest in IAE. IAE’s business purpose is to coordinate the design, development, manufacturing and product support of the V2500 program through involvement with the collaborators. IAE retains limited equity with the primary economics of the V2500 program passed to the participants in the separate collaboration arrangement. As such, we have determined that IAE is a variable interest entity, and Pratt & Whitney its primary beneficiary under the criteria established in the FASB ASC Topic 810 “Consolidations” and has, therefore, been consolidated. The carrying amounts and classification of assets and liabilities for IAE in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2014 are as follows:

The customer relationships intangible assets include payments made to our customers to secure certain contractual rights. We amortize these intangible assets based on the underlying pattern of economic benefit, which may result in an amortization method other than straight-line. In accordance with the FASB ASC Topic 605, “Customer Payments and Incentives,” we classify amortization of such payments as a reduction of sales. The IAE collaboration intangible asset is being amortized based upon the economic pattern of benefits as represented by the underlying cash flows. Prior to the quarter ended March 31, 2014, these cash flows were negative and, accordingly, no amortization had previously been recorded. Amortization of intangible assets for the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $179 million and $175 million, respectively. The following is the expected amortization of intangible assets for the years 2014 through 2019, which reflects an increase in expected amortization expense due to the pattern of economic benefit on certain aerospace intangible assets increasing over time.

Note 2: Discontinued Operations
In 2012, the UTC Board of Directors approved plans for the divestiture of a number of non-core businesses, which were completed with the sale of Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne (Rocketdyne) on June 14, 2013. Cash generated from these divestitures was used to repay debt incurred to finance the acquisition of Goodrich Corporation (Goodrich) in 2012.
On February 12, 2013, we completed the disposition of UTC Power to ClearEdge Power. The disposition resulted in payments by UTC totaling $48 million, which included capitalization of the business prior to the sale and interim funding of operations as the buyer took control of a loss-generating business. We have no continuing involvement with the UTC Power business post disposition.
The following summarized financial information for our discontinued operations businesses was segregated from continuing operations and reported as Discontinued Operations in 2013. There was no discontinued operations activity in the quarter ended March 31, 2014.

The computation of diluted earnings per share excludes the effect of the potential exercise of stock awards, including stock appreciation rights and stock options, when the average market price of the common stock is lower than the exercise price of the related stock awards during the period. These outstanding stock awards are not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would be anti-dilutive. For the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, there were no anti-dilutive stock awards excluded from the computation.

At March 31, 2014, we had revolving credit agreements with various banks permitting aggregate borrowings of up to $4 billion pursuant to a $2 billion revolving credit agreement and a $2 billion multicurrency revolving credit agreement, both of which expire in November 2016. As of March 31, 2014, there were no borrowings under either of these revolving credit agreements. The undrawn portions of these revolving credit agreements are also available to serve as backup facilities for the issuance of commercial paper. As of March 31, 2014, our maximum commercial paper borrowing authority as set by our Board of Directors was $4 billion. We use our commercial paper borrowings for general corporate purposes, including the funding of potential acquisitions, debt refinancing, and repurchases of our common stock.
On April 1, 2014, we redeemed all remaining outstanding 2016 Goodrich 6.290% notes, representing approximately $188 million in aggregate principal, under our redemption notice issued on February 28, 2014.

Note 6: Income Taxes
We conduct business globally and, as a result, UTC or one or more of our subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business we are subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world, including such major jurisdictions as Australia, Belgium, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations for years before 2000.
In the ordinary course of business, there is inherent uncertainty in quantifying our income tax positions. We assess our income tax positions and record tax benefits for all years subject to examination based upon management’s evaluation of the facts, circumstances, and information available at the reporting date. It is reasonably possible that a net reduction within a range of $325 million to $725 million of unrecognized tax benefits may occur within the next twelve months as a result of additional worldwide uncertain tax positions, the revaluation of current uncertain tax positions arising from developments in examinations, in appeals, or in the courts, or the closure of tax statutes. See Note 14, Contingent Liabilities, for discussion regarding uncertain tax positions which are not included in this range related to previously disclosed German tax litigation.
As previously disclosed, the French Tax Authority has assessed €237 million (approximately $327 million) related to the proposed disallowance of certain deductions claimed in France for tax years 2008 through 2011. This is a recurring issue and similar challenges may be raised in subsequent tax years until the issue is resolved. During the fourth quarter of 2013, the French Tax Authority approached the Company with an offer of proposed settlement. We are currently involved in ongoing negotiations with the French Tax Authority. We have made an accrual based upon a settlement amount that we believe has potential to result in resolution, which is included in the range mentioned in the paragraph above.
UTC tax years 2006 through 2008 are currently before the Appeals Division of the IRS (IRS Appeals) for resolution discussions regarding certain proposed adjustments with which UTC does not agree. Tax years 2009 and 2010 are under review by the Examination Division of the IRS. Both the 2006 - 2008 appeals proceedings and the 2009 - 2010 examination activity are expected to conclude during 2014. Examination activity for UTC tax years 2011 and 2012 is expected to commence during 2014.
The Company is engaged in litigation with respect to an issue involving the proper timing of deductions taken by Goodrich Corporation in its tax years 2005 and 2006, prior to its acquisition by UTC. This is a recurring issue and the IRS may continue to challenge it in subsequent tax years until the issue is resolved. Goodrich Corporation tax years 2007 through 2010 are currently before IRS Appeals for resolution discussions regarding certain proposed adjustments with which UTC does not agree, including the recurring timing issue described above. Both the 2005 - 2006 litigation and the 2007 - 2010 appeals proceedings, together with all final computations for open tax years through 2010, are expected to be resolved during 2014. Examination activity for Goodrich Corporation tax years 2011 and 2012, prior to its acquisition by UTC, is expected to commence during 2014.
The Examination Division of the Connecticut Department of Revenue Services commenced an examination of UTC’s 2010 - 2012 tax years during the first quarter. This examination is expected to conclude during 2014.
As a result of the anticipated conclusion of tax examination and appeals activity and associated re-evaluation of tax related liabilities and contingencies, we currently expect to recognize net gains, primarily non-cash, in the range of $325 million to $450 million prior to the end of 2014, including pre-tax interest in the range of $50 million to $100 million.

2012 Actions. As of March 31, 2014, we have approximately $97 million of accrual balances remaining related to 2012 actions.
Note 9: Financial Instruments
We enter into derivative instruments for risk management purposes only, including derivatives designated as hedging instruments under the Derivatives and Hedging Topic of the FASB ASC and those utilized as economic hedges. We operate internationally and, in the normal course of business, are exposed to fluctuations in interest rates, foreign exchange rates and commodity prices. These fluctuations can increase the costs of financing, investing and operating the business. We have used derivative instruments, including swaps, forward contracts and options to manage certain foreign currency, interest rate and commodity price exposures.
The four quarter rolling average of the notional amount of foreign exchange contracts hedging foreign currency transactions was $12.2 billion and $12.3 billion at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Assuming current market conditions continue, a $95 million pre-tax loss is expected to be reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive loss into Product sales to reflect the fixed prices obtained from foreign exchange hedging within the next 12 months. At March 31, 2014, all derivative contracts accounted for as cash flow hedges will mature by March 2016.
We recognized gains of $26 million and $32 million in Other income, net on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income from foreign exchange contracts not designated as hedging instruments in the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Note 10: Fair Value Measurements
The FASB ASC Topic "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure" establishes a valuation hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs to the valuations used to measure fair value. A financial asset or liability's classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows:
Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 - unobservable inputs based on our own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value.
The following tables provide the valuation hierarchy classification of assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value and measured on a recurring and nonrecurring basis in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, we recorded an approximately $38 million net gain from UTC Climate, Controls & Security's ongoing portfolio transformation, primarily due to a gain on the sale of a business in Hong Kong.
Valuation Techniques. Our available-for-sale securities include equity investments that are traded in active markets, either domestically or internationally and are measured at fair value using closing stock prices from active markets. Our derivative assets and liabilities include foreign exchange contracts and commodity derivatives that are measured at fair value using internal models based on observable market inputs such as forward rates, interest rates, our own credit risk and our counterparties' credit risks. As of March 31, 2014, there were no significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2.
As of March 31, 2014, there has not been any significant impact to the fair value of our derivative liabilities due to our own credit risk. Similarly, there has not been any significant adverse impact to our derivative assets based on our evaluation of our counterparties' credit risks.

We had commercial aerospace financing and other contractual commitments totaling approximately $11 billion as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, related to commercial aircraft and certain contractual rights to provide product on new aircraft platforms. Risks associated with changes in interest rates on these commitments are mitigated by the fact that interest rates are variable during the commitment term, and are set at the date of funding based on current market conditions, the fair value of the underlying collateral and the credit worthiness of the customers. As a result, the fair value of these financings is expected to equal the amounts funded. The fair value of these commitments is not readily determinable.

Table of Contents

Customer credit ratings range from an extremely strong capacity to meet financial obligations, to customers whose uncollateralized receivable is in default. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from estimates or that consideration of these factors in the future will not result in an increase or decrease to the allowance for credit losses on long-term receivables. Based upon the customer credit ratings, approximately 8% and 9% of the total long-term receivables reflected in the table above were considered to bear high credit risk as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
For long-term trade accounts receivable, we evaluate credit risk and collectability individually to determine if an allowance is necessary. Our long-term receivables reflected in the table above, which include reserves of $18 million and $49 million as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, are individually evaluated for impairment. At both March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we did not have any significant balances that are considered to be delinquent, on non-accrual status, past due 90 days or more, or considered to be impaired.

Note 13: Guarantees
We extend a variety of financial, market value and product performance guarantees to third parties. Following the sale of substantially all operations of Rocketdyne on June 14, 2013, certain guarantees of Rocketdyne's performance under then existing contracts remained in place, which resulted in an increase in our performance guarantees of approximately $97 million, with no associated significant carrying amount of a liability as of March 31, 2014. There have been no other material changes to guarantees outstanding since December 31, 2013.

Note 14: Contingent Liabilities
Summarized below are the matters previously described in Note 17 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2013 Annual Report, incorporated by reference in our 2013 Form 10-K, updated as applicable.
Except as otherwise noted, while we are unable to predict the final outcome, based on information currently available, we do not believe that resolution of any of the following matters will have a material adverse effect upon our competitive position, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
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 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2013 Annual Report, 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. Additional information pertaining to environmental matters is included in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2013 Annual Report.
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, have settled some allegations and continue to litigate certain cases. In addition, we accrue for liabilities associated with those matters that are probable and can be reasonably estimated. The most likely settlement amount to be incurred is accrued based upon a range of estimates. Where no amount within a range of estimates is more likely, then we accrued the minimum amount.

Legal Proceedings.
F100 Engine Litigation
As previously disclosed, the United States government sued us in 1999 in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio, claiming that Pratt & Whitney violated the civil False Claims Act and common law. The claims relate to the “Fighter Engine Competition” between Pratt & Whitney's F100 engine and General Electric's F110 engine. The government alleged that it 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. At trial, which ended in April, 2005, the government claimed Pratt & Whitney's liability to be approximately $624 million. On August 1, 2008, the trial court held that the Air Force had not suffered any actual damages because Pratt & Whitney had made significant price concessions after the alleged overstatements were made. However, the trial court judge found that Pratt & Whitney violated the False Claims Act due to inaccurate statements contained in its 1983 initial engine pricing proposal. In the absence of actual damages, the trial court awarded the government the maximum civil penalty of approximately $7 million, or $10,000 for each of the 709 invoices Pratt & Whitney submitted in 1989 and later under the contracts. In September 2008, both the government and UTC appealed the decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. On November 18, 2010, the Sixth Circuit affirmed Pratt & Whitney's liability under the False Claims Act, but remanded the case to the trial court for further proceedings on the issues of False Claims Act damages and common law liability and damages.
On June 18, 2012, the trial court found that Pratt & Whitney had breached obligations imposed by common law based on the same conduct with respect to which the court previously found liability under the False Claims Act. Under the common law claims, the U.S. Air Force is entitled to seek damages for events occurring before March 3, 1989, which are not recoverable under the False Claims Act.
On June 17, 2013, the trial court awarded the government approximately $473 million in damages and penalties, plus prejudgment interest in an amount to be determined. On July 1, 2013, the trial court, after determining the amount of prejudgment interest, entered judgment in favor of the government in the amount of approximately $664 million. The trial court also awarded postjudgment interest on the full amount of the judgment to accrue from July 2, 2013, at the federal variable interest rate determined pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1961. The judgment included four different components of damages: (1) common law damages of approximately $109 million; (2) prejudgment interest on common law damages of approximately $191 million; (3) False Claims Act treble damages of approximately $357 million; and (4) penalties of approximately $7 million. The penalty component of the judgment previously was affirmed by the United States Court of Appeals in 2010.
We strongly disagree with the trial court's analysis and conclusions. We filed an appeal from the judgment to the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit on August 26, 2013. Based on our analysis, we continue to believe that there is no basis for any common law liability for the inaccurate statements. We also believe that the government suffered no actual damages as a result of the inaccurate statements made in 1983 and, therefore, there is no basis in fact or law for the award of common law damages, prejudgment interest or False Claims Act treble damages. If, contrary to our expectations, all or any portion of the judgment should ultimately be affirmed, we estimate a range of reasonably possible loss from approximately $24 million to $657 million in excess of amounts previously accrued, plus postjudgment interest. The outcome of this matter could result in a material adverse effect on our results of operations in the period in which a liability would be recognized and cash flows for the period in which damages would be paid.
Cost Accounting Standards Claims
As previously disclosed, in December 2008, the Department of Defense (DOD) issued a contract claim against Sikorsky to recover overpayments the DOD alleges that it made to Sikorsky since January 2003 in connection with cost accounting changes approved by the DOD and implemented by Sikorsky in 1999 and 2006. These changes relate to the calculation of material overhead rates in government contracts. The DOD claimed that Sikorsky's liability was approximately $98 million (including interest through March 31, 2014). We believed this claim was without merit and Sikorsky filed an appeal in December 2009 with the U.S. Court of Federal Claims. Trial in the matter concluded in January 2013 and on March 22, 2013, the U.S. Court of Federal Claims issued a written decision in favor of Sikorsky determining that the DOD had failed to prove its claims because Sikorsky's calculation of material overhead complied with the cost accounting standards. The DOD has appealed this decision.
By letter dated December 24, 2013, a Divisional Administrative Contracting Officer of the Unites States Defense Contract Management Agency asserted a claim and demand for payment of $210,968,414 against Pratt & Whitney. The claim is based on Pratt & Whitney’s alleged noncompliance with cost accounting standards from January 1, 2005 to December 31, 2012, due to its method of determining the cost of collaborator parts used in the calculation of material overhead costs for government contracts. We believe this claim is without merit. On March 18, 2014, Pratt & Whitney filed an appeal to the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals.

20


German Tax Office Appeal
As previously disclosed, UTC has been involved in administrative review proceedings with the German Tax Office, which concern €203 million (approximately $280 million) of tax benefits that we have claimed related to a 1998 reorganization of the corporate structure of Otis operations in Germany. Upon audit, these tax benefits were disallowed by the German Tax Office. On August 3, 2012, we filed suit in the local German Tax Court (Berlin-Brandenburg). In 2008 the German Federal Tax Court ("FTC") denied benefits to another taxpayer in a case involving a German tax law relevant to our reorganization. The determination of the FTC on this other matter was appealed to the European Court of Justice ("ECJ") to determine if the underlying German tax law is violative of European Union (EU) principles. On September 17, 2009, the ECJ issued an opinion in this case that is generally favorable to the other taxpayer and referred the case back to the FTC for further consideration of certain related issues. In May 2010, the FTC released its decision, in which it resolved certain tax issues that may be relevant to our suit and remanded the case to a lower court for further development. In 2012, the lower court decided in favor of the other taxpayer and the government appealed the findings to the FTC. After consideration of the ECJ decision, the latest FTC decision and the lower court decision, we continue to believe that it is more likely than not that the relevant German tax law is violative of EU principles and we have not accrued for this matter. We intend to litigate vigorously the matter to conclusion.
Other.
As described in Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2013 Annual Report, 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 that 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 that resolution of these matters will not have a material impact on our competitive position, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
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. We accrue contingencies based upon a range of possible outcomes. If no amount within this range is a better estimate than any other, then we accrue the minimum amount.
We are also subject to a number of routine lawsuits, investigations and claims (some of which involve substantial amounts) arising out of the ordinary course of our business. We do not believe that these matters will have a material adverse effect upon our competitive position, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
Note 15: Segment Financial Data
Our operations are classified into five principal segments: Otis, UTC Climate, Controls & Security, Pratt & Whitney, UTC Aerospace Systems and Sikorsky. The segments are generally based on the management structure of the businesses and the grouping of similar operating companies, where each management organization has general operating autonomy over diversified products and services.

Note 16: Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, "Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity." This ASU relates to discontinued operations reporting to disposals of components of an entity that represent strategic shifts that have, or will have, a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results. The standard expands the disclosures for discontinued operations and requires new disclosures related to individually material disposals that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation. The provisions of this ASU are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014. This ASU is not expected to have an impact on our financial statements or disclosures.

With respect to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial information of UTC for the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PricewaterhouseCoopers) reported that it has applied limited procedures in accordance with professional standards for a review of such information. However, its report dated April 25, 2014, appearing below, states that the firm did not audit and does not express an opinion on that unaudited condensed consolidated financial information. PricewaterhouseCoopers has not carried out any significant or additional audit tests beyond those that would have been necessary if their report had not been included. Accordingly, the degree of reliance on its report on such information should be restricted in light of the limited nature of the review procedures applied. PricewaterhouseCoopers is not subject to the liability provisions of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Act) for its report on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial information because that report is not a “report” or a “part” of a registration statement prepared or certified by PricewaterhouseCoopers within the meaning of Sections 7 and 11 of the Act.
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Shareowners of United Technologies Corporation:

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of United Technologies Corporation and its subsidiaries as of March 31, 2014 and the related condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 and the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. This interim financial information is the responsibility of the Corporation's management.

We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial information for it to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013, and the related consolidated statements of operations, of comprehensive income, of cash flows, and of changes in equity for the year then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated February 6, 2014, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Item 2.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
BUSINESS OVERVIEW
We are a global provider of high technology products and services to the building systems and aerospace industries. Our operations are classified into five principal business segments: Otis, UTC Climate, Controls & Security, Pratt & Whitney, UTC Aerospace Systems and Sikorsky. Otis and UTC Climate, Controls & Security are referred to as the “commercial businesses,” while Pratt & Whitney, UTC Aerospace Systems and Sikorsky are collectively referred to as the “aerospace businesses.” On September 23, 2013, we announced the formation of UTC Building and Industrial Systems, a new organizational structure consisting of Otis and UTC Climate, Controls & Security. This new organizational structure is expected to enhance our ability to deliver more integrated solutions to our customers and accelerate innovation in smart building technologies and sustainable designs. Otis and UTC Climate, Controls & Security each continue to report their financial and operational results as separate segments, which is consistent with how we allocate resources and measure the financial performance of these businesses.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year amounts to conform to the current year presentation. The current status of significant factors affecting our business environment in 2014 is discussed below. For additional discussion, refer to the “Business Overview” section in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our 2013 Annual Report, which is incorporated by reference in our 2013 Form 10-K.
General
Our worldwide operations can be affected by industrial, economic and political factors on both a regional and global level. To limit the impact of any one industry, or the economy of any single country on our consolidated operating results, our strategy has been, and continues to be, the maintenance of a balanced and diversified portfolio of businesses. Our operations include original equipment manufacturing (OEM) and extensive related aftermarket parts and services in both our commercial and aerospace businesses. Our business mix also reflects the combination of shorter cycles at UTC Climate, Controls & Security and in our commercial aerospace aftermarket businesses, and longer cycles at Otis and in our aerospace OEM businesses. Our customers include companies in the private sector and governments, and our businesses reflect an extensive geographic diversification that has evolved with the continued globalization of world economies.
Growth in emerging markets continues to be led by China, where our sales for the quarter grew 15% over the prior year. Growth in China, along with U.S. economic expansion, is expected to drive global growth throughout 2014. The economic environment in North America has continued to rebound on improving consumer sentiment, lower unemployment rates, and an improving housing market. Although European economic conditions have continued to improve, rising political tensions in Eastern Europe may temper growth if escalation continues. UTC's sales to customers in Russia in 2013 were approximately $500 million, and while Russia is a key supplier of certain commodities, we are taking steps to minimize the potential for disruption to our business. To date, we have not seen any significant signs of disruption, although we continue to closely monitor developments in the region.
U.S. Government deficit reduction measures continue to pressure U.S. Department of Defense spending and adversely affect our military businesses. Total sales to the U.S. Government were $2.1 billion and $2.3 billion, or 14% and 16% of total UTC sales in the first quarter of 2014 and 2013, respectively. 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, and is expected to contribute positively to our results in 2014.
Disposition Activity
As previously disclosed, we disposed of a number of businesses in 2013. On February 12, 2013, we completed the disposition of UTC Power to ClearEdge Power, and on June 14, 2013, we completed the sale of substantially all operations of Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne (Rocketdyne) to GenCorp Inc. The results from these businesses were reclassified to Discontinued Operations in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and Cash Flows. On May 17, 2013, we completed the sale of the Pratt & Whitney Power Systems business to Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) and entered into a long-term engineering and manufacturing agreement with MHI. Pratt & Whitney Power Systems was not reclassified to Discontinued Operations due to our level of continuing involvement in the business post-sale.
In connection with regulatory approval of the Goodrich acquisition, regulatory authorities required UTC to dispose of the Goodrich electric power systems and the pumps and engine controls businesses. Pursuant to these regulatory obligations, these businesses had been held separately from UTC's and Goodrich's ongoing businesses since the acquisition of Goodrich by UTC. On March 18, 2013, we completed the sale of the Goodrich pumps and engine controls business to Triumph Group, Inc., and on March 26, 2013, we completed the sale of the Goodrich electric power systems business to Safran S.A. Combined proceeds from the sales of the two businesses were approximately $600 million.

Table of Contents

Acquisition Activity
Our growth strategy contemplates acquisitions. Our operations and results can be affected by the rate and extent to which appropriate acquisition opportunities are available, acquired businesses are effectively integrated, and anticipated synergies or cost savings are achieved. During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, our cash investment in business acquisitions was approximately $17 million and consisted of a number of small acquisitions primarily in our commercial businesses. We expect cash investment in businesses of approximately $1 billion in 2014. However, actual acquisition spending may vary depending upon the timing, availability and value of acquisition opportunities.
Other
Government legislation, policies and regulations can have a negative impact on our worldwide operations. Government regulation of refrigerants and energy efficiency standards, elevator safety codes and fire protection regulations are important to our commercial businesses. Government and market-driven safety and performance regulations, restrictions on aircraft engine noise and emissions, and government procurement practices can impact our aerospace and defense businesses.
Commercial airline financial distress and consolidation, global economic conditions, changes in raw material and commodity prices, interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, energy costs, and the impact from natural disasters and weather conditions create uncertainties that could impact our earnings outlook for the remainder of 2014. See Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our 2013 Form 10-K for further discussion.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Preparation of our financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, sales and expenses. We believe the most complex and sensitive judgments, because of their significance to the Consolidated Financial Statements, result primarily from the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2013 Annual Report, incorporated by reference in our 2013 Form 10-K, describe the significant accounting estimates and policies used in preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements. Actual results in these areas could differ from management’s estimates. There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting estimates during the quarter ended March 31, 2014.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, all five business segments experienced organic sales growth led by Sikorsky (9%), Otis (6%), and UTC Aerospace Systems (6%). Organic sales growth at Sikorsky was led by higher international military and commercial aircraft sales volume. Organic growth at Otis was primarily due to higher new equipment sales volume in the U.S. and China, while organic growth at UTC Aerospace Systems was due to higher commercial OEM and aftermarket volumes. Organic sales growth was also driven by Pratt & Whitney (4%) and by UTC Climate, Controls & Security (3%). See the Segment Review section of Management's Discussion and Analysis for further discussion of segment performance.
The sales decrease from divestitures for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 was primarily a result of the disposition of the Pratt & Whitney Power Systems business and portfolio transformation initiatives at UTC Climate, Controls & Security in 2013.

The organic increase in total cost of products and services sold (4%) in the quarter ended March 31, 2014 was driven by the organic sales increase noted above, partially offset by the benefits of previous restructuring actions and lower commodity costs, particularly within UTC Climate, Controls & Security. The decrease in “Acquisitions and divestitures, net” (2%) is attributable to the disposition of the Pratt & Whitney Power Systems business and portfolio transformation initiatives at UTC Climate, Controls & Security in 2013.

Research and development spending is subject to the variable nature of program development schedules and, therefore, year-over-year fluctuations in spending levels are expected. The majority of the company-funded spending is incurred by the aerospace businesses. The year-over-year increase in company-funded research and development (2%) in the quarter ended March 31, 2014 is primarily related to higher research and development spending within the UTC Aerospace Systems segment on increased spending on several commercial aerospace programs. Customer-funded research and development decreased (4%) due to lower customer-funded spending at UTC Aerospace Systems primarily on U.S. military and space programs (7%) and within U.S. Government programs at Sikorsky (6%), offset by higher customer-funded spending at Pratt & Whitney on U.S. military and commercial programs (10%).
We expect company-funded research and development for the full year 2014 to remain consistent with 2013 levels.

Other income, net includes equity earnings in unconsolidated entities, royalty income, foreign exchange gains and losses as well as other ongoing and non-recurring items. The year-over-year decrease in other income, net in the quarter ended March 31, 2014 (15%) is a result of the absence of a settlement with an engine program partner recognized in the first quarter of 2013 (13%) and net gains related to the UTC Climate, Controls & Security portfolio transformation (12%), which included a net gain in the first quarter of 2013 of $38 million primarily on the sale of a business in Hong Kong. These factors were partially offset by higher licensing income (11%) and normal recurring operational activity as disclosed above.

The increase in the effective tax rate for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, primarily reflects the absence of a $95 million tax benefit recorded during the first quarter of 2013, related to the retroactive impact of the legislative corporate tax extenders enacted in January 2013, as part of the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012.
We estimate our full year annual effective income tax rate in 2014 to be approximately 30%, absent one-time adjustments. We anticipate some variability in the tax rate quarter-to-quarter in 2014.

Restructuring actions are an essential component of our operating margin improvement efforts and relate to both existing operations and those recently acquired. We now expect to incur restructuring costs in 2014 of approximately $375 million, including trailing costs related to prior actions associated with our continuing cost reduction efforts and the integration of acquisitions. The expected adverse impact on earnings in 2014 from anticipated additional restructuring costs is expected to be offset by the beneficial impact from gains and other items that are outside the normal operating activities of the Company. Although no specific plans for significant other actions have been finalized at this time, we continue to closely monitor the economic environment and may undertake further restructuring actions to keep our cost structure aligned with the demands of the prevailing market conditions.
As described below, the charges incurred in the quarter ended March 31, 2014 primarily relate to actions initiated during 2014 and 2013, while the charges incurred in the quarter ended March 31, 2013 primarily relate to actions initiated during 2013 and 2012.
2014 Actions. During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, we recorded net pre-tax restructuring charges of $90 million relating to ongoing cost reduction actions initiated in 2014. The charges include severance related to workforce reductions and asset write-downs and facility exit and lease termination costs related to the consolidation of field and manufacturing operations.
We are targeting the majority of the remaining workforce and facility related cost reduction actions for completion during 2014. Approximately 45% of the total pre-tax charge will require cash payments, which we have funded and expect to continue to fund with cash generated from operations. During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, we had cash outflows of approximately $8 million related to the 2014 actions. We expect to incur additional restructuring and other charges of $58 million to complete these actions. We expect recurring pre-tax savings to increase over the two-year period subsequent to initiating the actions to approximately $140 million annually.
2013 Actions. During the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, we recorded net pre-tax restructuring charges of $32 million and $20 million, respectively, for actions initiated in 2013. The 2013 actions relate to ongoing cost reduction efforts, including severance related to workforce reductions and asset write-downs and facility exit and lease termination costs related to the consolidation of field and manufacturing operations.
We are targeting to complete in 2014 the majority of the remaining workforce and all facility related cost reduction actions initiated in 2013. Approximately 75% of the total pre-tax charge will require cash payments, which we have and expect to continue to fund with cash generated from operations. During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, we had cash outflows of approximately $49 million related to the 2013 actions. We expect to incur additional restructuring charges of $34 million to complete these actions. We expect recurring pre-tax savings to increase over the two-year period subsequent to initiating the actions to approximately $425 million annually, of which, approximately $88 million was realized during the quarter ended March 31, 2014.
For additional discussion of restructuring, see Note 8 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Segment Review
Segments are generally based on the management structure of the businesses and the grouping of similar operating companies, where each management organization has general operating autonomy over diversified products and services. Adjustments to reconcile segment reporting to the consolidated results for the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 are included in “Eliminations and other” below, which also includes certain smaller subsidiaries. We attempt to quantify material cited factors within our discussion of the results of each segment whenever those factors are determinable. However, in some instances, the factors we cite within our segment discussion are based upon input measures or qualitative information that does not lend itself to quantification when discussed in the context of the financial results measured on an output basis and are not, therefore, quantified in the below discussions.
Commercial Businesses
Our commercial businesses generally serve customers in the worldwide commercial and residential property industries, and UTC Climate, Controls & Security also serves customers in the commercial and transport refrigeration industries. Sales in the commercial businesses are influenced by a number of external factors, including fluctuations in residential and commercial

28

Table of Contents

construction activity, regulatory changes, interest rates, labor costs, foreign currency exchange rates, customer attrition, raw material and energy costs, credit markets and other global and political factors. UTC Climate, Controls & Security’s financial performance can also be influenced by production and utilization of transport equipment, and, in the case of its residential business, weather conditions. To ensure adequate supply of products in the distribution channel, UTC Climate, Controls & Security customarily offers its customers incentives to purchase products. The principal incentive program provides reimbursements to distributors for offering promotional pricing on UTC Climate, Controls & Security products. We account for incentive payments made as a reduction to sales.
Within the UTC Climate, Controls & Security segment, North American residential heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) orders increased 19% in the first quarter as the housing market continued to improve and distributors build stock for the summer season. Global commercial HVAC orders increased 2% with increases in Europe (15%) and Asia (4%) partially offset by lower order levels in North America (4%). Within the Otis segment, new equipment orders increased 9% in the first quarter of 2014 with growth in North America (37%) and in China (27%) due, in part, to several large product orders in the quarter. New equipment orders declined in Europe (5%) largely due to fewer large project orders in Russia.
Summary performance for each of the commercial businesses for the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was as follows:

Organic sales increased 3% primarily reflecting growth in Americas (2%), driven by the U.S. residential HVAC business, and the transport refrigeration business (1%). An organic sales increase in China (1%) was offset by lower sales in other Asian countries. The decrease in "Acquisitions and divestitures, net" (3%) reflects the year-over-year impact of divestitures completed in the preceding twelve months associated with UTC Climate, Controls & Security's portfolio transformation.
The 17% operational profit increase was driven largely by positive volume, mix and pricing (combined 9%), the benefits of restructuring actions and cost productivity (combined 5%) and favorable commodity costs (3%). The 8% decrease in "Other" primarily reflects net year-over-year impact from UTC Climate, Controls & Security's portfolio transformation.
 
Aerospace Businesses
The aerospace businesses serve both commercial and government aerospace customers. In addition, Pratt & Whitney also serves customers in the industrial markets. Revenue passenger miles (RPMs), U.S. Government military and space spending, and the general economic health of airline carriers are all barometers for our aerospace businesses. Performance in the general aviation sector is closely tied to the overall health of the economy and is positively correlated to corporate profits.
Airline traffic, as measured by RPMs, grew over 5% in 2013 and has shown continued growth in 2014. We continue to benefit from a strong airline industry with airlines' profitability forecasted by third party analysts to be almost $19 billion in 2014. Commercial aerospace spares orders at Pratt & Whitney’s large commercial engine business increased 11% in the first quarter of 2014 as compared to the same period of 2013, while UTC Aerospace Systems spares orders increased 9% over the same period. Lower U.S. Government defense spending levels have constrained military sales growth and we expect U.S. Government deficit reduction measures to continue to adversely affect our military aerospace businesses in 2014.
We record changes in contract estimates using the cumulative catch-up method in accordance with the Revenue Recognition Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Operating profit included significant changes in aerospace contract estimates of $17 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2014.
As previously reported, Sikorsky is developing the CH-148 derivative of the H-92 helicopter (the "Cyclone"), a military variant of the S-92 helicopter, for the Canadian Government. The Cyclone is being developed under a fixed-price contract that provides for the development and production of 28 helicopters, and a related in-service support contract through March 2028 (collectively, the "Arrangements"). The current contract values of the Arrangements are estimated to be $4.2 billion and are subject to changes in underlying variables such as the timing of deliveries, future flight hours and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Delivery of the final configuration aircraft, which was scheduled to begin in 2012, has not occurred due to a number of disputes between the Canadian Government and Sikorsky related to contractual requirements and contract performance.
In December 2013, Sikorsky and the Canadian Government signed a Principles of Agreement, and on April 2, 2014 a second agreement was signed by the parties. Together, these Principles of Agreement (the "POA") establish a framework to restructure the Arrangements while providing a new governance and project structure. Sikorsky is engaging in ongoing formal contract negotiations with the Canadian Government under the POA. The objective of the negotiations is the mutual agreement on contractual amendments that memorialize the key understandings documented in the POA. These amendments are expected to substantially change the timing and scope of the aircraft, while securing Sikorsky's role as the in-service support provider for these aircraft for an extended period of years. As such, the amendments are expected to require us to reassess our current accounting judgments and estimates to reflect the new proposed contractual structure. Based upon the progress of the negotiations to date and the changes envisioned, we anticipate recording a significant charge upon execution of the proposed contractual amendments as they will require us to accelerate our costs and revenue recognition using a cost-to-cost method to recognize our cumulative efforts to date on the aircraft, in addition to higher costs associated with scope changes and a phased-delivery approach that supports the timing of the retirement of the Sea King helicopters beginning in 2015. Any such revenues and losses recorded could have a material impact on the consolidated results of operations in the period recognized. Similarly, failure to reach an agreement with the Canadian Government on the contractual amendments could also lead to a material adverse impact on the consolidated results of operations. However, we do not believe that the amendments, nor failure to reach agreement on the amendments, will result in a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

For Pratt & Whitney only, the transactional impact of foreign exchange hedging at Pratt & Whitney Canada has been netted against the translational foreign exchange impact for presentation purposes in the above tables. For all other segments, these foreign exchange transactional impacts are included within the organic/operational caption in their respective tables. Due to its potential significance to Pratt & Whitney’s overall operating results, we believe it is useful to segregate the foreign exchange transactional impact in order to clearly identify the underlying financial performance.
The organic sales increase (4%) was driven by higher commercial aftermarket (6%) and industrial engines (2%) sales, partially offset by lower engines and aftermarket sales in the military business (3%). Sales decreased (6%) as a result of the divestiture of Pratt & Whitney Power Systems in 2013.
Pratt & Whitney's operating profit benefited from lower pension costs and restructuring savings across its businesses. The operational profit increase (5%) was due to the net volume increase (20%) and favorable military contract performance (6%), partially offset by the absence of a settlement with an engine program partner (10%), higher negative commercial engine margins (7%), and a decline in contract termination benefits (4%). Operating profit decreased (3%) as a result of the divestiture of Pratt & Whitney Power Systems in 2013.

The organic sales increase (9%) reflects increased commercial sales (4%) primarily due to S-92 aircraft volume partially offset by a decrease in S-76 volume, higher international military sales volume (7%) and favorable military aftermarket contract performance (1%). These increases were offset partially by lower U.S. Government sales volume (1%) and lower volume on customer funded development programs (3%).
The operational profit increase (9%) is driven by profitability in military aftermarket (41%) primarily due to favorable contract performance and higher international military aircraft volume (11%). These increases were partially offset by lower profitability on U.S. Government aircraft contracts (17%) due to less favorable contract performance, lower profits from customer funded development programs (22%), and lower commercial aftermarket profitability (4%).

Eliminations and other reflects the elimination of sales, other income and operating profit transacted between segments, as well as the operating results of certain smaller businesses. The year-over-year change in sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, as compared with the same period of 2013, reflects an increase in the amount of inter-segment sales eliminations. The year-over-year change in operating profit for the first quarter of 2014, as compared with the first quarter of 2013, reflects lower divestiture costs in 2014.

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 of continuing operations, which, after netting out capital expenditures, we target to equal or exceed net income attributable to common shareowners from continuing operations. 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, access to the commercial paper markets, adequacy of available bank lines of credit, and the ability to attract long-term capital at satisfactory terms.
The global economic environment has been improving. Strengthening air traffic and airline profitability have offset continued weakness in defense spending. In the U.S., the outlook for housing and commercial construction remains encouraging. The economic environment in Europe has been trending positively, with strengthening economic sentiment offsetting continued unemployment concerns, while in China, there has been some slowing of construction starts and property transactions. In light of these circumstances, we continue to assess our current business and closely monitor the impact on our customers and suppliers, and have determined that overall there was not a significant adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity during the first quarter of 2014.
Our domestic pension funds experienced a positive return on assets of 3.65% during the first quarter of 2014.  Approximately 89% of these domestic pension plans' funds are invested in readily-liquid investments, including equity, fixed income, asset-backed receivables and structured products. The balance of these domestic pension plans' funds (11%) is invested in less-liquid but market-valued investments, including real estate and private equity. Across our global pension plans, the absence of prior pension investment losses, impact of a higher discount rate, and the positive returns experienced during 2013 are expected to result in decreased pension expense in 2014 of approximately $500 million as compared to 2013.
Our strong debt ratings and financial position have historically enabled us to issue long-term debt at favorable market rates. Our ability to obtain debt financing at comparable risk-based interest rates is partly a function of our existing debt-to-total-capitalization level as well as our credit standing.
On April 1, 2014, we redeemed all remaining outstanding 2016 Goodrich 6.290% notes, representing approximately $188 million in aggregate principal, under our redemption notice issued on February 28, 2014. We expect full year 2014 debt repayments to be approximately $1 billion.
On September 27, 2013, we redeemed all remaining outstanding 2021 Goodrich 3.600% notes, representing $294 million in aggregate principal, under our redemption notice issued on August 28, 2013. On August 23, 2013, we redeemed all remaining outstanding 2019 Goodrich 6.125% notes, representing $202 million in aggregate principal, under our redemption notice issued on July 24, 2013. On June 24, 2013 we redeemed all remaining outstanding 2015 UTC 1.200% Senior Notes, representing $327 million in aggregate principal, under our redemption notice issued on May 24, 2013. On May 7, 2013, we commenced cash tender offers for two series of outstanding notes issued by Goodrich and the 2015 UTC 1.200% Senior Notes. A total of $874 million principal amount of all notes subject to the tender offers, and $36 million of the fair value adjustment related to the notes assumed in the Goodrich acquisition, were repaid, including approximately $103 million principal amount of the 2016 Goodrich 6.290% notes, approximately $98 million principal amount of the 2019 Goodrich 6.125% notes, and approximately $674 million principal amount of the 2015 UTC 1.200% Senior Notes. Total payments under these tender offers were approximately $935 million including principal, premium and interest.
Tax payments related to discontinued operations, primarily the December 2012 sale of the legacy Hamilton Sundstrand Industrial businesses, were approximately $665 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. We do not expect tax payments in 2014 related to these discontinued operations to be significant.
At March 31, 2014, we had revolving credit agreements with various banks permitting aggregate borrowings of up to $4 billion pursuant to a $2 billion revolving credit agreement and a $2 billion multicurrency revolving credit agreement, both of which expire in November 2016. As of March 31, 2014, there were no borrowings under either of these revolving credit agreements. The undrawn portions of our revolving credit agreements are also available to serve as backup facilities for the issuance of commercial paper. As of March 31, 2014, our maximum commercial paper borrowing authority as set by our Board of Directors was $4 billion. We use our commercial paper borrowings for general corporate purposes, including the funding of acquisitions and repurchases of our common stock.
We continue to have access to the commercial paper markets and our existing credit facilities, and continue to expect strong generation of operating cash flows. While the impact of market volatility cannot be predicted, we believe we have sufficient operating flexibility, cash reserves and funding sources to maintain adequate amounts of liquidity and to meet our future operating cash needs.
Given our extensive international operations, most of our cash is denominated in foreign currencies and held outside of the U.S. We manage our worldwide cash requirements by reviewing available funds among the many subsidiaries through

which we conduct our business and the cost effectiveness with which those funds can be accessed. The repatriation of cash balances from certain of our subsidiaries could have adverse tax consequences or be subject to capital controls; however, those balances are generally available without legal restrictions to fund ordinary business operations. With few exceptions, U.S. income taxes have not been provided on undistributed earnings of our international subsidiaries. Our intention is to reinvest these earnings permanently or to repatriate the earnings only when it is tax effective to do so.
On occasion, we are required to maintain cash deposits with certain banks with respect to contractual obligations related to acquisitions or divestitures or other legal obligations. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the amount of such restricted cash was approximately $32 million and $47 million, respectively.
We believe our future operating cash flows will be sufficient to meet our future operating cash needs. Further, our ability to obtain debt or equity financing, as well as the availability under committed credit lines, provides additional potential sources of liquidity should they be required or appropriate.

Cash generated from operating activities of continuing operations in the quarter ended March 31, 2014 was $74 million lower than the same period in 2013, including lower income from continuing operations of $46 million, offset by higher non-cash charges of $97 million. During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, the net increase in working capital resulted in a cash outflow of $521 million, an increase in cash outflow of $323 million over the quarter ended March 31, 2013. The 2014 cash outflows for working capital were primarily driven by increases in inventory to support deliveries and other contractual commitments across the aerospace businesses, inventory increases to support seasonal demand at UTC Climate, Controls & Security, increases in accounts receivable within our commercial businesses primarily attributable to seasonal maintenance billing cycles, and conversion of customer advances at Pratt & Whitney. These working capital increases were partially offset by increases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, primarily at Pratt & Whitney, Otis and Sikorsky, an increase in domestic tax accruals, and increases in customer advances at Otis and Sikorsky.
The funded status of our defined benefit pension plans is dependent upon many factors, including returns on invested assets and the level of market interest rates. We can contribute cash or company stock to our plans at our discretion, subject to applicable regulations. Total cash contributions to our global defined benefit pension plans during the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 were $84 million and $29 million, respectively. We expect to make total cash contributions of approximately $275 million to our global defined benefit pension plans in 2014. Our domestic pension plans are approximately 95% funded on a projected benefit obligation basis as of March 31, 2014, and we are not required to make additional contributions through the end of 2016. Contributions to our global defined benefit pension plans in 2014 are expected to meet or exceed the current funding requirements.

Cash flows used in investing activities of continuing operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 primarily reflect capital expenditures of approximately $333 million and payments related to our collaboration intangible assets and contractual rights to provide product on new aircraft platforms of approximately $148 million. Cash flows provided by investing activities of continuing operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 includes proceeds of approximately $746 million from the disposition of certain businesses, including the sale of the legacy Goodrich pumps and engine controls business to Triumph Group, Inc. on March 18, 2013, the sale of the legacy Goodrich electric power systems business to Safran S.A. on March 26, 2013.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, we increased our collaboration intangible assets by approximately $142 million, including net payments of $70 million made under our 2012 agreement to acquire Rolls-Royce's collaboration interest in IAE. Capital expenditures for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 primarily relate to investments in new programs at Pratt & Whitney and UTC Aerospace Systems, as well as continuing Goodrich integration activities at UTC Aerospace

Systems. Investments in businesses in the quarter ended March 31, 2014 included a number of small acquisitions, primarily in our commercial businesses. We expect total cash investments for acquisitions in 2014 to approximate $1 billion, including acquisitions completed during the quarter ended March 31, 2014. However, actual acquisition spending may vary depending upon the timing, availability and appropriate value of acquisition opportunities.
Customer financing activities were a net source of cash of $12 million and $31 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. While we expect that 2014 customer financing activity will be a net use of funds, actual funding is subject to usage under existing customer financing commitments during the remainder of the year. We may also arrange for third-party investors to assume a portion of our commitments. We had commercial aerospace financing and other contractual commitments of approximately $11 billion at March 31, 2014 related to commercial aircraft and certain contractual rights to provide product on new aircraft platforms, of which up to $1.2 billion may be required to be disbursed during the remainder of 2014. We had commercial aerospace financing and other contractual commitments of approximately $11 billion at December 31, 2013.

The timing and levels of certain cash flow activities, such as acquisitions and repurchases of our stock, have resulted in the issuance of both long-term and short-term debt. Commercial paper borrowings and revolving credit facilities provide short-term liquidity to supplement operating cash flows and are used for general corporate purposes, including the funding of potential acquisitions and repurchases of our stock. We had no outstanding commercial paper at March 31, 2014.
At March 31, 2014, management had authority to repurchase approximately 48.3 million shares under the share repurchase program announced on February 4, 2013. Under this program, shares may be purchased on the open market, in privately negotiated transactions and under plans complying with Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We may also reacquire shares outside of the program from time to time in connection with the surrender of shares to cover taxes on vesting of restricted stock. During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, we repurchased approximately 2.9 million shares of our common stock for approximately $335 million. We expect 2014 full year share repurchases to be approximately $1 billion. Our share repurchase levels are influenced by various factors, including the level of other investing activities.
We paid dividends on Common Stock of $0.59 per share in the first quarter of 2014 totaling $514 million in the aggregate.
We have an existing universal shelf registration statement filed with the SEC for an indeterminate amount of debt and equity securities for future issuance, subject to our internal limitations on the amount of debt to be issued under this shelf registration statement.

Cash flows used in discontinued operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 primarily relate to the completed divestiture of the legacy Hamilton Sundstrand Industrial businesses in December 2012. In connection with this sale, tax payments of approximately $665 million were made during the three months ended March 31, 2013. Net cash flows used in discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013 also included cash flows from the operating activities of Rocketdyne and of UTC Power, through its date of disposition of February 12, 2013, as well as payments made in settlement of liabilities, transaction costs, and interim funding of UTC Power and of Clipper Windpower, which was divested in 2012. There were no discontinued operations in the quarter ended March 31, 2014.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations
In our 2013 Annual Report, incorporated by reference in our 2013 Form 10-K, we disclosed our off-balance sheet arrangements and contractual obligations. As of March 31, 2014, there have been no material changes to these off-balance sheet arrangements and contractual obligations outside the ordinary course of business except as noted below.
During the first quarter of 2014, Sikorsky signed agreements with the Turkish government and certain Turkish aerospace contractors to provide manufacturing kits and licenses that will allow Turkey’s aerospace industry to assemble 109 T-70 helicopters (Turkish variants of Sikorsky’s S-70i International Black Hawk helicopter) for sale to and operation by various Turkish government entities. Under the program, the aircraft will be assembled in Turkey by Turkish Aerospace Industries, Inc. ("TAI") and will include kit components supplied by Sikorsky and other companies. Sikorsky has a purchase commitment of $1.4 billion, which is expected to be fulfilled by the purchase of various Black Hawk parts, components, and services by Sikorsky over a thirty-year period from TAI and other Turkish companies.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
There has been no significant change in our exposure to market risk during the quarter ended March 31, 2014. For discussion of our exposure to market risk, refer to Part II, Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” contained in our 2013 Form 10-K.
Item 4.
Controls and Procedures
As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chairman & Chief Executive Officer (CEO), the Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and the Acting Controller and Assistant Controller, Financial Reporting (Controller), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2014. 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 CEO, our CFO and our Controller have concluded that, as of March 31, 2014, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act 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 CEO, our CFO and our Controller, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2014, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Cautionary Note Concerning Factors That May Affect Future Results
This Form 10-Q contains statements which, to the extent they are not statements of historical or present fact, constitute “forward-looking statements” under the securities laws. From time to time, oral or written forward-looking statements may also be included in other materials released to the public. These forward-looking statements are intended to provide management’s current expectations or plans for our future operating and financial performance, based on assumptions currently believed to be valid. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “believe,” “expect,” “expectations,” “plans,” “strategy,” “prospects,” “estimate,” “project,” “target,” “anticipate,” “will,” “should,” “see,” “guidance,” “confident” and other words of similar meaning in connection with a discussion of future operating or financial performance. Forward-looking statements may include, among other things, statements relating to future sales, earnings, cash flow, results of operations, uses of cash and other measures of financial performance.

For those statements, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such risks, uncertainties and other factors include, without limitation:
the effect of economic conditions in the industries and markets in which we operate in the U.S. and globally and any changes therein, including financial market conditions, fluctuations in commodity prices, interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates, levels of end market demand in construction and in both the commercial and defense segments of the aerospace industry, levels of air travel, financial difficulties (including bankruptcy) of commercial airlines, the impact of weather conditions and natural disasters and the financial condition of our customers and suppliers;
our ability to realize the intended benefits of recently announced organizational changes;
future levels of indebtedness and capital spending and research and development spending;
future availability of credit and factors that may affect such availability, including credit market conditions and our capital structure;
delays and disruption in delivery of materials and services from suppliers;
new business opportunities;
customer and Company directed cost reduction efforts and restructuring costs and savings and other consequences thereof;
the scope, nature, impact or timing of acquisition and divestiture activity, including among other things integration of acquired businesses into our existing businesses and realization of synergies and opportunities for growth and innovation;
the development, production, delivery, support, performance and anticipated benefits of advanced technologies and new products and services;
the anticipated benefits of diversification and balance of operations across product lines, regions and industries;
the impact of the negotiation of collective bargaining agreements and labor disputes;
the outcome of legal proceedings, investigations and other contingencies;
future repurchases of our common stock;
pension plan assumptions and future contributions; and
the effect of changes in tax, environmental, regulatory (including among other things import/export) and other laws and regulations or political conditions in the U.S. and other countries in which we operate or with which we conduct business.

In addition, this Form 10-Q includes important information as to risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. See the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” under the heading “Contingent Liabilities,” the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” under the headings “Business Overview,” “Results of Operations,” “Liquidity and Financial Condition,” and "Critical Accounting Estimates," and the section titled “Risk Factors” in this Form 10-Q and in our 2013 Annual Report. This Form 10-Q also includes important information as to these factors in the “Business” section under the headings “General,” “Description of Business by Segment” and “Other Matters Relating to Our Business as a Whole,” and in the “Legal Proceedings” section. Additional important information as to these factors is included in our 2013 Annual Report in the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” under the headings “Restructuring Costs,” “Environmental Matters” and “Governmental Matters.” The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report or, in the case of any document incorporated by reference, the date of that document.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1.    Legal Proceedings
Telephone Consumer Protection Act
UTC Fire & Security Americas Corporation, Inc. (UTCFS) has been named as a defendant in three putative class actions that were filed on behalf of purported classes of persons who allege that third-party entities placed “robocalls” and/or placed calls to numbers listed on the “Do Not Call Registry” on behalf of UTCFS in contravention of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act. In each putative class action suit, plaintiffs seek injunctive relief and monetary damages. Each violation under the TCPA provides for $500 in statutory damages or up to $1,500 for any willful violation. We assert that the third-party entities that initiated the calls were not acting on our behalf in making any such calls. We believe that UTCFS has meritorious defenses to these claims. We are presently unable to estimate the damages for which UTCFS could be liable in the event plaintiffs prevail in one or more of these cases.
Non-Employee Sales Representative Investigation
In December 2013 and January 2014, UTC made voluntary disclosures to the United States Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission Division of Enforcement and the United Kingdom’s Serious Fraud Office to report the status of its internal investigation regarding a non-employee sales representative retained by United Technologies International Operations, Inc. (UTIO) and International Aero Engines (IAE) for the sale of Pratt & Whitney and IAE engines and aftermarket services, respectively, in China. On April 7, 2014, the SEC notified UTC that it is conducting a formal investigation and issued a subpoena to UTC seeking production of documents related to the disclosures. UTC is cooperating fully with the investigation. Because the investigation is at an early stage, we cannot predict its outcome or the consequences thereof at this time.
At the outset of the internal investigation, UTIO and IAE suspended all commission payments to the sales representative, and UTIO and IAE have not resumed making any payments. This led to two claims by the sales representative for unpaid commissions: a civil lawsuit filed against UTIO and UTC and an arbitration claim against IAE. We are contesting the lawsuit and the arbitration claim. We do not believe that the resolution of the lawsuit or the arbitration will have a material adverse effect on our competitive position, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
See Note 14, Contingent Liabilities, for discussion regarding other legal proceedings.
Except as otherwise noted above, there have been no material developments in legal proceedings. For a description of previously reported legal proceedings refer to Part I, Item 3, “Legal Proceedings,” of our 2013 Form 10-K.

We repurchase shares under a program announced on February 4, 2013, which authorized the repurchase of up to 60 million shares of our common stock. Under this current program, shares may be purchased on the open market, in privately negotiated transactions and under plans complying with Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We may also reacquire shares outside of the program from time to time in connection with the surrender of shares to cover taxes on vesting of restricted stock. Approximately 3,000 shares were reacquired in transactions outside the program during the quarter ended March 31, 2014.
