The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). Participation in the Plan is offered to eligible employees of UTC and certain of its subsidiaries after the employee has completed one year of service. Below is a brief description of the Plan. More complete information is provided in the plan document which is available from UTC. Effective December 1, 1995, the Plan year end was changed to the twelve month period ending December 31. The short period beginning December 1, 1995 and ending December 31, 1995 is covered by this report. The employer makes contributions with respect to each participant of an amount up to 3.5 percent of the participant's compensation. In addition, certain participants may elect to contribute, through payroll deductions, between 1 and 9 percent of their total compensation with up to the first 4 percent of each participant's contribution being matched 50 percent by the employer. Participant contributions are fully vested at all times under the Plan. Generally, employer contributions become fully vested after two years of Plan participation. All participant contributions are credited to a participant account maintained by UTC. Contributions are invested, pursuant to each participant's direction, in one or more of the following funds: the Income Fund, the Equity Fund, the UTC Stock Fund and the Global Fund, where permitted. Participants may elect to have 100 percent of their contributions invested in one investment fund or may allocate the contributions in any whole percentage among the funds. Participants are permitted to transfer their accounts between investment funds once per quarter in any whole percentage. The Income Fund is invested in contracts issued by five insurance companies. Under these contracts, each insurance company guarantees repayment in full of the principal amount invested plus interest credited at a fixed rate for a specified period. Interest is credited to each contract based on an annual interest rate set each year by the individual insurance companies. This rate, which differs among contracts, takes into account any difference between prior year credited interest and the actual amount of investment earnings allocable to the contract in accordance with the established allocation procedures of the insurance company. The weighted average rate set for the 1995 calendar year was 7.25 percent. The Equity Fund may be invested in common or capital stock of corporations, bonds or securities convertible into such stocks, or shares of any federally registered mutual fund or similar type of investment fund, including investment in any commingled trust fund managed by Bankers Trust Company (BT), the Trustee, which is invested primarily in similar types of equity securities. During 1995, the Equity Fund was invested principally in the BT Pyramid Equity Index Fund, which is a portfolio of common stocks replicating the Standard & Poor's Composite Index of 500 stocks. Interest and dividends earned by the Equity Fund are reinvested and increase market value. The UTC Stock Fund consists principally of 13 and 9 shares of UTC Common Stock at December 31 and November 30, 1995, respectively. The Global Fund is invested in almost equal proportion in three different funds managed by the Trustee: the BT Pyramid International Securities Index Fund, the BT Pyramid Fixed Income Index Fund and the BT Pyramid Equity Index Fund (as described above). The BT Pyramid International Securities Index Fund invests in four other international index funds managed by the Trustee. The BT Pyramid Fixed Income Index Fund invests primarily in obligations of the U.S. Government and its agencies and other publicly traded, high-grade domestic debt instruments. Interest and dividends earned by these investments are reinvested and increase market value. Forfeitures of employer contributions are used to reduce employer contributions; earned but unapplied forfeitures will be applied against future employer contributions and are shown separately in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits With Fund Information. Participants who transfer to a new location of UTC which is covered by a different savings plan have the option of transferring their account balances in accordance with the provisions of the new savings plan, including available investment funds. The number of participants in the Plan at year end were as follows: The participants above may have investments in more than one of the investment funds. NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES UTC has entered into a master trust agreement with the Trustee. Under this agreement, certain employee savings plans of UTC and its subsidiaries combine their trust fund investments in the Master Trust. Participating plans purchase units of participation in the investment funds based on their monthly contribution to such funds and the unit value of the applicable investment fund at the end of the month. The value of a unit in each fund is determined at the end of each month by dividing the sum of uninvested cash, accrued income and the current market value of investments by the total number of outstanding units in such funds. The plans receive income from the funds' investments which increase the unit values. Distributions to participants reduce the number of participation units held by the plans. The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual method of accounting. Benefits are recorded when paid. The investments of the Income Fund are valued at cost plus accrued interest. The investments of the Equity Fund, the UTC Stock Fund, and the Global Fund are valued at market as determined by the Trustee by reference to published market data. The expenses of operating the Plan are payable out of the funds held under the Plan, unless the employer elects to pay such expenses. The expenses for the 1995 plan year were paid by the employer.
December 31, November 30, 1995 1995 Income Fund 795 793 Equity Fund 272 273 UTC Stock Fund 2 2 Global Fund 1 1 The Plan is not subject to federal income tax as the Plan and its related trust are considered by UTC to satisfy the qualification and exemption requirements of Sections 401(a) and 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. UTC has received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), dated April 22, 1996, indicating that the Plan continues to qualify under Sections 401(a) and 501(a) of the Code. Under these sections, contributions by UTC, participants (at their election) and related earnings will be tax deferred until such amounts are distributed. NOTE 3 - INSURANCE CONTRACTS The following is a summary of the insurance contracts held in the Income Fund and the portion allocable to the Plan: NOTE 4 - GAIN ON SALE OF INVESTMENTS The Trustee uses the average cost method in determining the cost of securities for purposes of calculating the gain or loss on the sale of securities. Gains and losses of the Master Trust funds are allocated to the participating plans based upon participation units at the month-end valuation date following the sale. There were no gains recognized by the Master Trust funds for the one month period ended December 31, 1995. NOTE 5 - REQUESTED DISTRIBUTIONS The following is a summary of distributions requested by participants which had not yet been paid at the respective plan year end:

In the event of Plan termination, participants will become 100 percent vested in their accounts.
