5 UNITED TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements at June 30, 1999 and for the quarters and six-month periods ended June 30,1999 and 1998 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. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform to the current year presentation. Total non-shareowner changes in equity includes all changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by and distributions to shareowners. The specific components include: net income, deferred gains and losses resulting from foreign currency translation and minimum pension liability adjustments. Total non-shareowner changes in equity were $1,084 million and $1,314 million in the second quarter and six-month period of 1999, compared to $310 million and $573 million in the same periods of 1998. Both periods in 1999 include the gain recognized on the sale of UT Automotive discussed below. Recent Developments Disposition of UT Automotive On May 4, 1999, the Corporation sold its UT Automotive unit to Lear Corporation for $2.3 billion, which resulted in a source of cash of $2.159 billion during the six-month period. An after-tax gain of $650 million was recognized in the second quarter of 1999 along with approximately one month of UT Automotive earnings. UT Automotive net assets appear in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 1998 as a net investment in a discontinued operation and related results as income from operations of the discontinued UT Automotive subsidiary in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for both periods presented. Acquisition of Sundstrand Corporation On June 10, 1999, the Corporation completed the acquisition of Sundstrand Corporation for approximately $4.3 billion, including assumed debt. The assets acquired and results of Sundstrand's operations subsequent to the closing date are included in the Corporation's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements at June 30, 1999. Under terms of the merger agreement, each outstanding share of Sundstrand Common Stock was exchanged for $35 in cash and .5580 shares of the Corporation's Common Stock. The merger has been accounted for as a purchase. In 1998, Sundstrand had $2.0 billion in revenues and $226 million in net income. The Corporation financed the cash portion of the purchase price with the after-tax cash proceeds from the sale of its UT Automotive unit discussed above and through the issuance of debt discussed below.
6 UNITED TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Issuance of Long-term Debt In May 1999, the Corporation issued $400 million of 6.5% unsubordinated, unsecured, nonconvertible notes (the "Notes") under a shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in April. The Notes are due June 1, 2009, with interest payable semiannually commencing December 1, 1999. The Corporation may redeem all or any portion of the Notes, at any time, at a formula-based price determined at the time of redemption. Proceeds from this issuance were used for general corporate purposes and to finance a portion of the acquisition of Sundstrand Corporation. Shelf Registration Statement In July 1999, the Corporation filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission concerning the issuance of up to $400 million in debt securities. The registration statement became effective on July 23, 1999. The total amount of medium-term and long-term debt that could be issued by the Corporation under this and previous registration statements is $1.0 billion. The proceeds from the potential issuance of debt securities will be used for general corporate purposes, which may include acquisitions and repurchases of the Corporation's common stock, and will result in additional interest expense and higher levels of debt to capital in future periods. Stock Split On April 30, 1999, the Corporation announced a two-for-one stock split which was paid on May 17, 1999 in the form of a stock dividend to shareowners of record at the close of business on May 7, 1999. All common share and per share information in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect the stock split. Cost Reduction Efforts During 1998, the Corporation recorded pre-tax charges totaling $320 million related to ongoing efforts to reduce costs of its continuing operations in response to an increasingly competitive business environment. Charges were recorded in each of the Corporation's operating segments with the majority relating to the Pratt & Whitney, Otis and Carrier operations. The amounts were primarily recorded in cost of sales and relate to workforce reductions of approximately 7,500 employees, plant closings and charges associated with asset impairments. Approximately 5,800 employees were terminated as of June 30,1999. The remaining terminations and plant closings are planned to be completed by December of this year. The following table summarizes the costs associated with these actions. Severance and Other Asset Related Exit Write- In Millions of Dollars Costs Costs Downs Total 1998 Charges $ 266 $ 5 $ 49 $ 320 Utilized through 6/30/99 213 3 49 265 Remaining $ 53 $ 2 $ - $ 55
7 UNITED TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES The Corporation expects to record additional cost reduction charges throughout the remainder of 1999 across all operating segments in order to further reduce costs and streamline the operations. Contingent Liabilities There has been no significant change in the Corporation's material contingencies during 1999. Summarized below, however, are the matters previously described in Note 14 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Corporation's Annual Report, incorporated by reference in the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for calendar year 1998, as amended to reflect UT Automotive as a discontinued operation (see the Corporation's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 11, 1999). Environmental The Corporation's operations are subject to environmental regulation by federal, state and local authorities in the United States and regulatory authorities with jurisdiction over its foreign operations. Environmental investigatory, remediation, operating and maintenance costs are accrued when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The most likely cost to be incurred is accrued based on an evaluation of currently available facts with respect to each individual site, including existing technology, current laws and regulations and prior remediation experience. Where no amount within a range of estimates is more likely, the minimum is accrued. For sites with multiple responsible parties, the Corporation considers its likely proportionate share of the anticipated remediation costs and the ability of the other parties to fulfill their obligations in establishing a provision for those costs. Liabilities with fixed or reliably determinable future cash payments are discounted. The Corporation maintains property insurance with a number of insurance companies. Litigation is continuing against one of the Corporation's historical property insurers seeking coverage for environmental costs incurred at certain facilities. The litigation is expected to last several years. Environmental liabilities are not reduced by potential insurance reimbursements. As discussed above, the Corporation has accrued for the costs of environmental remediation activities and periodically reassesses these amounts. Management believes that losses materially in excess of amounts accrued are not reasonably possible. U.S. Government The Corporation is now and believes that, in light of the current government contracting environment, it will be the subject of one or more government investigations. If the Corporation or one of its business units were charged with wrongdoing as a result of any of these investigations, the Corporation or one of its business units could be suspended from bidding on or receiving awards of new government contracts pending the completion of legal proceedings. If convicted or found liable, the Corporation could be fined and debarred from new government contracting for a period generally not to exceed three years. Any contracts found to be tainted by fraud could be voided by the Government.
8 UNITED TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES The Corporation's contracts with the U.S. Government are also subject to audits. Like many defense contractors, the Corporation has received audit reports which recommend that certain contract prices should be reduced to comply with various government regulations. Some of these audit reports involve substantial amounts. The Corporation has made voluntary refunds in those cases it believes appropriate. Other The Corporation extends performance and operating cost guarantees beyond its normal warranty and service policies for extended periods on some of its products, particularly commercial aircraft engines. Liability under such guarantees is contingent upon future product performance and durability. The Corporation has accrued its estimated liability that may result under these guarantees. The Corporation also has other commitments and contingent liabilities related to legal proceedings and matters arising out of the normal course of business. The Corporation has accrued for environmental investigatory, remediation, operating and maintenance costs, performance guarantees and other litigation and claims based on management's estimate of the probable outcome of these matters. While it is possible that the outcome of these matters may differ from the recorded liability, management believes that resolution of these matters will not have a material impact on the Corporation's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

10 UNITED TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES With respect to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial information of United Technologies Corporation for the quarters and six-month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PricewaterhouseCoopers") reported that they have applied limited procedures in accordance with professional standards for a review of such information. However, their separate report dated July 20, 1999 appearing below, states that they did not audit and they do not express an opinion on that unaudited condensed consolidated financial information. PricewaterhouseCoopers has not carried out any significant or additional audit tests beyond those which would have been necessary if their report had not been included. Accordingly, the degree of reliance on their 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 ("the Act") for their report on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial information because that report is not a "report" or a "part" of the registration statement prepared or certified by PricewaterhouseCoopers within the meaning of sections 7 and 11 of the Act. REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS To the Shareowners of United Technologies Corporation We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations of United Technologies Corporation and consolidated subsidiaries for the quarters and six months ended June 30,1999 and 1998, the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30,1999 and 1998, and the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30,1999. This financial information is the responsibility of the company's management. We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, 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 financial information for it to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. We previously audited in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1998, and the related consolidated statements of operations, of changes in shareowners' equity and of cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated January 21, 1999, except for Note 16, which is as of May 20, 1999, 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, 1998, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP Hartford, Connecticut July 20, 1999
11 UNITED TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL POSITION BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT The Corporation's operations are classified into four principal operating segments. Carrier and Otis serve customers in the commercial property and residential housing industries. Pratt & Whitney and the Flight Systems segment, which includes Sikorsky Aircraft and Hamilton Sundstrand, serve commercial and government customers in the aerospace industry. As worldwide businesses, the Corporation's operations are affected by global and regional economic factors. However, the diversity of the Corporation's businesses and global market presence has helped limit the impact of any one industry or the economy of any single country on the consolidated results. The Asian economic crisis has significantly slowed growth in the region since the latter part of 1997. Tightening of credit in Asia has restricted available financing for new construction and slowed the completion of projects currently underway, resulting in less activity compared to pre-crisis years. While recognizing that the Asian economic weakness is continuing, management believes the long-term economic growth prospects of the region remain intact. Therefore, the Corporation's Asian investment strategy continues to focus on the long-term infrastructure requirements of the region. In early 1999, the Brazilian Real devalued significantly. This devaluation had a destabilizing effect throughout Latin America and increased the likelihood of slower near-term growth in the region. Worldwide airline profits, traffic growth and load factors have been reliable indicators for new aircraft and after-market orders. U.S. and European airlines are experiencing continued profitability driven primarily by low fuel prices and the effect of cost reduction programs. Airlines in the Asia Pacific and Latin American regions have suffered declines in operating results reflecting weaker local economies. This erosion in earnings has resulted in a decrease in new orders for aerospace products and cancelations or deferrals of existing orders throughout the industry. The impact of the Asian and Latin American economic downturn or a slowdown in the aviation industry, as a whole, will likely result in lower manufacturing volumes in the near term. The defense portion of the Corporation's aerospace businesses continues to respond to a changing global political environment. The U.S. defense industry continues to downsize and consolidate in response to continued pressure on U.S. and global defense spending. U.S. and global customers continually review and reprioritize research and procurement initiatives.
12 UNITED TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES RESULTS OF CONTINUING OPERATIONS Consolidated revenues and margin percentages were as follows: Quarter Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, In Millions of Dollars 1999 1998 1999 1998 Sales $ 5,984 $ 5,848 $ 11,366 $ 11,068 Financing revenues and other income, net 57 (17) 117 71 Revenues $ 6,041 $ 5,831 $ 11,483 $ 11,139 Gross margin % 27.4% 26.3% 26.8% 25.3% Consolidated revenues increased 4% and 3% in the second quarter and six-month period of 1999 compared to 1998, primarily due to growth at Pratt & Whitney, Carrier and Otis. Financing revenues and other income, net, increased $74 million and $46 million in the second quarter and six-month period of 1999 compared to 1998. The second quarter 1998 results include the cost of Pratt & Whitney's repurchase of a participant's interest in a commercial engine program. The year-to-date 1998 results also reflect the settlement of a contract dispute with the U.S. Government. Gross margin as a percentage of sales increased 1.1 percentage points and 1.5 percentage points in the second quarter and six-month period of 1999 compared to the same periods of 1998 due to improvements at all operating segments. Research and development spending increased $27 million (10%) and $24 million (4%) in the second quarter and six-month period of 1999 compared to 1998. The increases relate principally to Pratt & Whitney's spending on the PW6000 and PW4173 programs. As a percentage of sales, research and development was 5.1% in the second quarter and six-month period of 1999 compared to 4.8% and 5.0% in the second quarter and six-month period of 1998. Research and development spending in 1999 is expected to remain at approximately 5% of sales. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $16 million (2%) and $56 million (4%) in the second quarter and six-month period of 1999 compared to 1998 due to increases in most operating segments. As a percent of sales, these expenses increased to 12.3% in the six-month period of 1999 from 12.1% in the same period of 1998, due to increases at Flight Systems and Pratt & Whitney. The effective income tax rate for the six-month period of 1999 was 30.9% compared to 31.4% for the six-month period of 1998. The Corporation has continued to lower its effective income tax rate by implementing tax reduction strategies. As described in Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Corporation sold its UT Automotive unit to Lear Corporation for $2.3 billion and realized an after-tax gain of $650 million. The Corporation expects to record pre-tax cost reduction charges in the third quarter of this year of approximately $1.0 billion ($650 million after-tax), to
13 UNITED TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES further strengthen the competitive position of its businesses. The cost reduction actions will focus on rationalizing the Corporation's manufacturing footprint and under performing product lines and improving the overall level of organizational efficiency.
14 UNITED TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Revenues, operating profits and operating profit margins of the Corporation's principal operating segments for the quarters and six-month periods ended June 30,1999 and 1998 are as follows (dollars in millions): Operating Revenues Operating Profits Profit Margin Quarter Ended June 30, 1999 1998 1999 1998 1999 1998 Otis $ 1,379 $ 1,337 $ 161 $ 140 11.7% 10.5% Carrier 2,029 1,878 234 195 11.5% 10.4% Pratt & Whitney 1,985 1,974 284 248 14.3% 12.6% Flight Systems 764 756 81 73 10.6% 9.7% Total segment 6,157 5,945 760 656 12.3% 11.0% Eliminations and other (116) (114) (5) (31) General corporate expenses - - (60) (59) Consolidated $ 6,041 $ 5,831 695 566 Interest expense (57) (45) Consolidated income from continuing operations before income taxes and minority interests $ 638 $ 521 Operating Six Months Ended Revenues Operating Profits Profit Margin June 30, 1999 1998 1999 1998 1999 1998 Otis $ 2,742 $ 2,659 $ 316 $ 238 11.5% 9.0% Carrier 3,539 3,376 325 213 9.2% 6.3% Pratt & Whitney 4,004 3,890 564 541 14.1% 13.9% Flight Systems 1,370 1,432 121 138 8.8% 9.6% Total segment 11,655 11,357 1,326 1,130 11.4% 9.9% Eliminations and other (172) (218) (16) (41) General corporate expenses - - (125) (114) Consolidated $ 11,483 $ 11,139 1,185 975 Interest expense (112) (92) Consolidated income from continuing operations before income taxes and minority interests $ 1,073 $ 883
15 UNITED TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Otis revenues increased 3% in the second quarter and six-month period of 1999 compared to 1998. The increase in revenues was mostly due to increases in North America partially offset by declines in the Latin American operations. Excluding the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation, revenues increased by 5% and 4% in the second quarter and six-month period of 1999 compared to 1998. Otis operating profits increased $21 million (15%) and $78 million (33%) in the second quarter and six-month period of 1999 compared to 1998, reflecting improvement in all operations except Latin America which continues to face pressure from the Real devaluation and the corresponding economic weakness. The 1998 year-to-date results include charges related to salaried workforce reductions and the consolidation of manufacturing and engineering facilities. Carrier revenues increased 8% and 5% in the second quarter and six-month period of 1999 compared to 1998. The increase in revenues was due to increases in North America, Refrigeration Operations and Europe and the impact of acquisitions, partly offset by declines in the Latin American and Asia Pacific operations. Carrier operating profits increased $39 million (20%) and $112 million (53%) in the second quarter and six-month period compared to 1998. The second quarter 1999 increase reflects improvement in North America, Europe and Commercial Refrigeration Operations and the impact of acquisitions. The 1998 year-to-date results include charges related to workforce reductions, plant closures and implementation of a new manufacturing strategy in the rotary chiller business. Pratt & Whitney revenues increased 1% and 3% in the second quarter and six- month period of 1999 compared to 1998. The 1999 second quarter increase reflects higher overhaul and repair revenues due to the 1998 investment in an overhaul and repair operation in Singapore, offset by lower commercial spare parts sales. The second quarter 1998 results include the cost to repurchase a participant's interest in a commercial engine program. The six-month increase reflects increased commercial and military engine shipments and higher overhaul and repair revenues, offset by lower commercial spare parts sales. In addition, year-to-date revenues in 1998 benefited from the settlement of a contract dispute with the U.S. Government. Pratt & Whitney operating profits increased $36 million (15%) and $23 million (4%) in the second quarter and six-month period of 1999 compared 1998. The second quarter increase reflects improvement in the commercial engine, Pratt & Whitney Canada and overhaul and repair businesses, partially offset by higher research and development spending and lower commercial spare parts sales discussed above. The second quarter 1998 results include the cost to repurchase a participant's interest in a commercial engine program. In addition, year-to- date 1998 results benefited from the settlement of a contract dispute with the U.S. Government. Flight Systems revenues increased 1% in the second quarter and decreased 4% in the six-month period of 1999 compared to 1998. The inclusion of Sundstrand's operations, subsequent to the June 10, 1999 closing date, more than offset the effect of lower helicopter deliveries at Sikorsky. The year-to-date comparison reflects increases at Hamilton Sundstrand, which were more than offset by lower revenues at Sikorsky. Flight Systems operating profits increased $8 million (11%) in the second quarter and decreased $17 million (12%) in the six-month period of 1999 compared to 1998. The second quarter increase reflects improvements at Hamilton Sundstrand and the inclusion of Sundstrand's results, which more than offset
16 UNITED TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES declines at Sikorsky due to lower helicopter deliveries. The year-to-date comparison reflects improvements at Hamilton Sundstrand and the inclusion of Sundstrand's results, which were more than offset by declines at Sikorsky. FINANCIAL POSITION AND LIQUIDITY Management assesses the Corporation's liquidity in terms of its overall ability to generate cash to fund its operating and investing activities. Significant factors affecting the management of liquidity are cash flows generated from operating activities, capital expenditures, acquisitions, customer financing requirements, Common Stock repurchases, adequate bank lines of credit and financial flexibility to attract long-term capital with satisfactory terms. Set forth below are selected key cash flow data: Six Months Ended June 30, In Millions of Dollars 1999 1998 Operating Activities Net cash flows provided by operating activities $ 1,003 $ 1,204 Investing Activities Capital expenditures (292) (232) Acquisitions of business units (2,069) (434) Disposition of business unit 43 - Increase in customer financing assets, net (130) (125) Financing Activities Common Stock repurchase (267) (277) Increase (decrease) in total debt 336 (67) Decrease in net debt 1 (53) Net cash flows provided by discontinued operation 2,159 28 Cash flows provided by operating activities were $1,003 million during the first six months of 1999 compared to $1,204 million during the first six months of 1998. The decrease resulted from lower working capital performance partly offset by improved operating performance. Cash flows used in investing activities were a use of funds of $2,358 million during the first six months of 1999 compared to a use of $766 million in the first six months of 1998. Capital expenditures in the six-month period of 1999 were $292 million, a $60 million increase from the corresponding period of 1998. The Corporation invested $2,069 million in the acquisition of businesses, including the investment in Sundstrand Corporation. Current year proceeds from the disposition of business unit represents Hamilton Sundstrand's sale of a microelectronic controls business. Customer financing activity was a net use of cash of $130 million in the six-month period of 1999, compared to a $125 million net use of cash in 1998. While the Corporation expects 1999 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. The Corporation's total commitments to finance or arrange financing of
17 UNITED TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES commercial aircraft and related equipment at June 30,1999 were approximately $1.3 billion. As described in Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Corporation filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission concerning the issuance of up to $400 million in debt securities. The registration statement became effective on July 23, 1999 bringing the total amount of medium-term and long-term debt that could be issued by the Corporation under this and previous registration statements to $1.0 billion. Also described in Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, in May 1999, the Corporation issued $400 million of unsubordinated, unsecured, nonconvertible notes. The proceeds were used for general corporate purposes and to finance a portion of the acquisition of Sundstrand Corporation. The Corporation repurchased $267 million of Common Stock, representing 4.1 million shares, in the first six months of 1999 under previously announced share repurchase programs. The share repurchase program continues to be a use of the Corporation's cash flows and has more than offset the dilutive effect resulting from the issuance of stock under stock-based employee benefit programs. As described in Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, on May 4, 1999, the Corporation sold its UT Automotive unit to Lear Corporation. The UT Automotive operation and subsequent sale generated a $2,159 million source of cash in the six-month period. Other selected financial data are as follows: June 30, December 31, June 30, In Millions of Dollars 1999 1998 1998 Cash and cash equivalents $ 885 $ 550 $ 641 Total debt 2,509 2,173 1,500 Net debt (total debt less cash) 1,624 1,623 859 Shareowners' equity 7,317 4,378 4,291 Debt-to-total capitalization 26% 33% 26% Net debt-to-total capitalization 18% 27% 17% The Corporation manages its worldwide cash requirements considering available funds among the many subsidiaries through which it conducts its business and the cost effectiveness with which those funds can be accessed. The repatriation of cash balances from certain of the Corporation's subsidiaries could have adverse tax consequences; however, those balances are generally available without legal restrictions to fund ordinary business operations. The Corporation has and will continue to transfer cash from those subsidiaries to the parent and to other international subsidiaries when it is cost effective to do so. Management believes that its existing cash position and other available sources of liquidity are sufficient to meet current and anticipated requirements for the foreseeable future. Management anticipates the level of debt-to-capital will increase during the remainder of the year in order to satisfy its various cash flow requirements, including acquisition spending and continued share repurchases.
18 UNITED TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Year 2000 The Corporation has developed a project plan to address the impact of the Year 2000 on its internal systems, products and facilities, as well as its key suppliers and customers. The project has strong executive sponsorship and has been reviewed by an independent third party. The project consists of the following phases: awareness, assessment, remediation, testing and contingency planning. The Corporation has completed the awareness and assessment phases, with respect to its internal systems, products and facilities. The Corporation is in the process of carrying out the remediation and testing phases, which are expected to be substantially completed by September 1999. The Corporation has been assessing its Year 2000 risks related to significant relationships with third parties via ongoing communication with its critical suppliers and customers. As part of the process, the Corporation has requested written assurances from these suppliers and customers that they have Year 2000 readiness programs in place, as well as an affirmation that they will be compliant when necessary. Responses to these inquiries are currently being gathered and reviewed. Further analysis, including site visits, is being conducted as necessary. Activities related to third parties are scheduled to be completed by September 1999. Despite these efforts, the Corporation can provide no assurance that supplier and customer Year 2000 compliance plans will be successfully completed in a timely manner. The Corporation is taking steps to prevent major interruptions in the business due to Year 2000 problems using both internal and external resources to identify and correct problems and to test for readiness. The estimated external costs of the project, including equipment costs and consultant and software licensing fees, are expected to be approximately $125 million. Internal costs, which are primarily payroll related, are expected to be approximately $50 million. These costs are being funded through operating cash flows with amounts that would normally be budgeted for the Corporation's information systems and production and facilities equipment. As of June 30, 1999, total costs for continuing operations of external and internal resources incurred amounted to approximately $110 million and relate primarily to internal systems, products and facilities. Although the Corporation has been working on its Year 2000 readiness efforts for several years, costs incurred prior to 1997 have not been separately tracked and are generally not included in the estimate of total costs. The schedule for completion and the estimated associated costs are based on management's estimates, which include assumptions of future events. There can be no assurance that the Corporation, its suppliers and customers will be fully Year 2000 compliant by January 1, 2000. The Corporation, therefore, could be adversely impacted by such things as loss of revenue, production delays, product failures, lack of third party readiness and other business interruptions. Accordingly, the Corporation has begun developing contingency plans to address potential issues which include, among other actions, development of backup procedures and identification of alternate suppliers. Contingency planning is expected to be substantially completed by September 1999. The ultimate effects on the Corporation or its suppliers or customers of not being fully Year 2000 compliant are not reasonably estimable. However, the Corporation believes its Year 2000 remediation efforts, together with the diverse nature of its businesses, help reduce the potential impact of non-compliance to levels which will not have a material adverse impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

20 UNITED TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Item 1 - Legal Proceedings As previously reported, in June 1992 the Department of Justice filed a civil False Claims Act complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut, No. 592CV375, against Sikorsky Aircraft alleging that the Government was overcharged by nearly $4 million in connection with the pricing of parts supplied for the reconditioning of the Navy's Sea King helicopter. The complaint sought treble damages plus a $10,000 penalty for each false claim submitted. The bench trial in this matter was concluded in August 1997. On June 3, 1999, the court entered judgment on all counts for Sikorsky. Prior to commencement of this case, Sikorsky conceded liability for certain undisclosed quotes received from a supplier, and the judge awarded the Government approximately $305,000 (including interest) directly associated with this issue. The period within which the Government may file an appeal in this matter has not yet elapsed and the Corporation has been advised that the Government is considering an appeal. The Corporation does not believe that resolution of the litigation described above will have a material adverse effect upon the Corporation's competitive position, results of operations, cash flow or financial position. Except as noted above, there have been no material developments in legal proceedings during the quarter ended June 30, 1999. For a description of previously reported legal proceedings, refer to Part I, Item 3 - Legal Proceedings of the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for calendar year 1998 and Part II, Item 1 - Legal Proceedings of the Corporation's Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 1999. Item 2 - Changes in Securities In connection with the merger on June 10,1999 of Sundstrand Corporation into a wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation ("the Merger"), the Corporation assumed, effective as of the effective time of the Merger, all covenants, agreements and obligations of Sundstrand Corporation with respect to any securities issued under the Indenture dated as of December 1, 1998 between Sundstrand Corporation and The First National Bank of Chicago ("the Indenture"). This assumption was confirmed by a First Supplemental Indenture dated as of June 9, 1999 among Sundstrand Corporation, the Corporation and The First National Bank of Chicago. Under a Second Supplemental Indenture dated as of June 10, 1999 among Hamilton Sundstrand Corporation, the Corporation and The First National Bank of Chicago, Hamilton Sundstrand Corporation, as the surviving entity in the Merger, confirmed its assumption, as co-obligor with the Corporation, of all covenants, agreements and obligations of Sundstrand Corporation with respect to any securities issued under the Indenture. Approximately $250 million aggregate principal amount of Medium-Term Notes due from nine months to 30 years from date of issuance is outstanding under the Indenture. Copies of the instruments defining the rights of holders of these securities are available upon request addressed to the Secretary of the Corporation.

UNITED TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Exhibit 10.1 December 21, 1998 C. Scott Greer 160 Chesterfield Road Bloomfield Hills, MI 48304 Re: Special Incentive Arrangement Dear Scott: As you know, over the next several months, we will be exploring the potential sale of UTA, either in its entirety or in segments. Your support will be critical to the success of this divestiture initiative. In addition, marketing UTA without disruption to the ongoing, successful operation of the business presents special challenges for you. In recognition of the additional responsibilities you will assume in connection with UTC's efforts to divest UTA, UTC is prepared to offer you certain special financial incentives in consideration of certain commitments from you. The incentives consist of a special award of restricted stock and a special cash payment, to be described in full detail below. Your commitments to UTC pertain to: (i) your efforts and conduct in support of the marketing of the business; (ii) your ability to maintain UTA's successful financial and operational performance throughout the entire marketing phase, regardless of ultimate outcome; and (iii) in the event of a divestiture, achieving a transaction that provides UTC with sufficient value for the sale of UTA. Incentives If you agree to the terms and conditions set forth in this letter, UTC will award you 10,000 shares of restricted stock. These shares will be subject to a vesting period of three years. If, however, the business is sold prior to that date, the vesting will be accelerated to the date that is six months following the closing date, if the transaction is deemed to be "successful" from UTC's perspective. The criteria for a successful transaction are described below. In the event that the business is sold in segments, your vesting will occur six months following the completion of the sale of the last business segment. If the purchaser of the business terminates your employment prior to the expiration of the six month period, vesting will be accelerated to the termination date. Otherwise, you are required to remain with the business for the six month period following the closing. Prior to vesting, you will receive dividends and all other rights of share ownership, except that you will not be able to sell, pledge, or assign any interest in the shares. If your employment with UTA is terminated for any reason (other than death or disability) prior to the complete divestiture of UTA or the end of the three-year vesting period, the shares will be forfeited without value. In addition to the restricted stock award, UTC will make a special incentive payment to you in an amount up to $2,000,000, subject to certain conditions, payable six months after the closing date of the sale of UTA (or the last segment thereof) (the "Special Incentive Payment"). The actual amount of such payment will be based upon the degree to which the divestiture constitutes a "successful" sale, as determined by UTC in its sole discretion, and the degree to which certain other performance criteria have been met. The criteria for a successful divestiture and the other performance criteria are described below. Outstanding overall performance will result in full payment. 1 UNITED TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Terms and Conditions For purposes of this Agreement, a "successful" sale will be determined on the basis of several financial and subjective factors. Exact dollar thresholds, formulas or percentage weightings for different factors will not be utilized. However, as UTC evaluates the sale of UTA with its outside advisors, you will be kept informed of targets, objectives and ranges of acceptable outcomes as they are developed. The factors that will determine a successful divestiture from UTC's perspective include, without limitation, the ultimate purchase price net of any retained liabilities, the structure of the transaction (and its tax impacts), the allocation of tax, environmental and other liabilities and contingencies between buyer and seller, the timing to completion, post closing risks retained by UTC, and such other factors as may be determined during the sale process. All of these factors are relevant to determining if the transaction, on a net basis, provides adequate value to UTC relative to the long term value of UTA. UTC will evaluate these factors in its sole discretion to determine to what extent the overall transaction may be deemed to be "successful". In addition to achieving a successful divestiture, accelerated vesting of your restricted shares and eligibility for the Special Incentive Payment are both also subject to you (i) maintaining certain individual performance standards during the marketing phase of the business; and, (ii) maintaining UTA's performance during this period of time to avoid deterioration of financial and operating performance. During the marketing phase, you will be expected to represent and further the best interests of UTC at all times. You will be expected to represent the business in its best light in a consistent manner to all prospective purchasers, regardless of your opinion as to the quality or desirability of any prospective purchaser. In addition, it will be imperative that you not engage in any independent efforts relative to marketing UTA. All potential purchasers and any other related inquiries or contacts and other information relevant to the marketing effort must be directed to the office of UTC's Vice President for Strategic Planning. During this period of time, you will also be expected to maintain absolute confidentiality with respect to UTC's efforts and the status of the divestiture efforts. You must refrain from any conduct that in any way conflicts with the best interests of UTC in this transaction. Failure to observe completely the provisions of this paragraph may result in forfeiture of your shares and your rights to the special incentive payment. Maintaining the successful operation of UTA amid the distraction of a potential sale of the business presents special challenges. Nonetheless, it is critical to UTC that UTA's achievements and momentum in several key areas not be sacrificed as a result of UTC's decision to market the company for potential divestiture. We expect that all financial and operating plans and objectives will be met during this period. Manufacturing quality, productivity, customer relationships, employee retention, engineering and marketing initiatives and other key facets of the business must also not be compromised in any way. It is critical that overall business performance and the value of the business be maintained, regardless of the outcome of divestiture efforts. If UTC, in its sole discretion, determines that the quality of the business, either financially or operationally, materially deteriorates during the divestiture 2
UNITED TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES process, the restricted share awards and your rights to the Special Incentive Payment will be forfeited. The restricted share award and the Special Incentive Payment are subject to approval by the Compensation and Executive Development Committee of UTC's Board. The benefits provided under this Agreement are separate and independent from your eligibility for the Executive Leadership Group (the "ELG") separation benefit which will be payable to you subject to the terms of the ELG program, without reduction or offset for amounts provided herein. Notwithstanding your participation in this arrangement, UTC reserves the right to terminate your employment for cause, in which case your rights to the restricted stock and the Special Incentive Payment will be forfeited. Examples of a termination "for cause" include failure to perform your responsibilities, ethical or legal violations or breach of this Agreement. In consideration of the benefits provided under this Agreement, you also agree that you will not voluntarily terminate your employment for any reason (other than death or permanent disability) during the period of this Agreement (i.e. the earlier of 6 months following complete divestiture or December 31, 2001). In the event of death or permanent long term disability (as defined in UTA's Long Term Disability Plan), vesting in the restricted stock award will be accelerated and the Special Incentive Payment will be cancelled. Resignation or termination for any other reason will result in forfeiture of the restricted shares and the Special Incentive Payment. We believe that with your efforts, we can achieve a successful divestiture of UTA while maintaining the financial value and operational integrity of the business. Please acknowledge your acceptance by signing and returning one original copy of this letter to my office. If you have any questions, please feel to call me at 860-728-7655. Very truly yours, /s/William L. Bucknall, Jr. William L. Bucknall, Jr. Acknowledged and Accepted: /s/ C. Scott Greer April 1,1999 C. Scott Greer Date 3
