Contributions and Vesting. The percentages of total compensation participants may elect to contribute, through payroll deductions, varies depending on the provisions of the Plan specific to a particular location.  Participants direct the investment of their contributions into various investment options offered by the Plan. The Plan currently offers ten mutual funds, seven commingled index funds, one stable value fund, and a company stock fund as investment options for participants. Participant contributions, plus actual earnings thereon, are fully vested at all times under the Plan.  Carrier and Sikorsky (the "Employer") contribute specified amounts to the Plan in accordance with the terms outlined in the respective employment agreements.  Generally, the Employer's contributions, plus actual earnings thereon, become fully vested after two years of Plan participation.

During 2000, UTC began to use the leveraged Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") to fund the employer matching contributions to the Plan. The ESOP is primarily invested in UTC Series A ESOP Convertible Preferred Stock (see Note 7). Participants who have reached at least age 55 may direct up to 50 percent, in multiples of 25 percent, of their ESOP account balances and future employer contributions to be invested in the other investment funds offered though the Plan. In such cases, UTC may redeem the ESOP preferred Stock in the participant’s accounts for cash and such shares may be allocated in the future.

Participant Accounts. Each participant’s account is credited with the participant's contributions and allocations of (a) UTC’s contributions based on a percentage of the participant’s contribution and (b) Plan earnings based on account balances. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant's vested account. Forfeited balances of terminated participants' nonvested amounts are used to reduce future Employer contributions. For the year ended December 31, 2001, approximately $66,000 of forfeitures were used to fund UTC's contributions.

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

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

Payment of Benefits. Generally, benefits are paid in a lump sum to a terminating participant. A participant terminating due to retirement may elect to receive benefits in installments over two to twenty years. At the participant's election, the portion of a lump sum distribution attributable to an investment in the UTC Common Stock Fund and ESOP investment options may be paid in shares of UTC Common Stock instead of cash. Distributions in UTC Common Stock for the year ended December 31, 2001 were approximately $64,000.

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

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

Master Trust. The Plan's assets are kept in the Untied Technologies Corporation Employee Savings Plan Master Trust (the "Master Trust") maintained by the Plan's trustee. Under the Master Trust agreement, the assets of certain employee savings plans of UTC and its subsidiaries are combined. Participating plans purchase units of participation in the investment funds based on their contribution to such funds and the unit value of the applicable investment fund at the end of the trading day in which a transaction occurs. The unit value of each fund is determined at the close of each day by dividing the sum of uninvested cash, accrued income and the current value of investments by the total number of outstanding units in such funds. Income from the funds' investments increases the participating plans' unit values. Distributions to participants reduce the number of participation units held by the participating plans (See Note 6).

Investment Valuation and Income Recognition. The Income Fund's investments in insurance contracts (see Note 5) are stated at contract value, which represents contributions plus earnings, less Plan withdrawals. The ESOP Preferred Stock’s fair value is the higher of the guaranteed value ($65) or four times the daily ending price of UTC’s Common Stock. All other funds are stated at fair value, as determined by the Plan trustee, typically by reference to published market data.

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

Plan Expenses. Plan administrative expenses, including Plan trustee and recordkeeper fees were paid directly by the employer in 2001. Between December 31, 2000 and September 30, 2001, the employer also paid certain investment management fees for the funds managed by Deutsche Asset Management. Effective October 1, 2001, these investment management fees are charged against Plan assets. All other administrative and investment expenses were paid out of Plan assets during 2001.
