EXHIBIT 99.2
INTRODUCTION TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The following unaudited pro forma condensed financial information has been
prepared from the historical financial statements of United Technologies
Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("United Technologies"), and Sundstrand
Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Sundstrand"), adjusted to reflect the sale
of the UT Automotive division of United Technologies ("UT Automotive"), which
occurred on May 4, 1999, and the merger (the "Merger") of Sundstrand with and
into a wholly owned subsidiary of United Technologies using the purchase method
of accounting. The pro forma condensed balance sheet adjustment to reflect the
sale of UT Automotive, as though it had occurred on March 31, 1999, is based
upon net cash proceeds of approximately $2.1 billion, after payment of taxes and
the estimated $600 million gain on the sale after the accrual of other
transaction-related expenses. The pro forma condensed statements of operations
reflect UT Automotive as a discontinued operation and do not reflect the effects
of the gain.
The unaudited pro forma condensed balance sheet has been prepared to
reflect the Merger and the issuance of 0.558 shares of United Technologies
common stock and $35 in cash for each outstanding share of Sundstrand common
stock, as if the Merger occurred on March 31, 1999, and the issuance of United
Technologies stock options to Sundstrand stock option holders in exchange for
Sundstrand stock options. Based on the price per share of United Technologies
common stock of $62.71875 on February 19, 1999, the last trading day prior to
entering into the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 21, 1999,
among United Technologies, HSSail Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly
owned subsidiary of United Technologies, and Sundstrand, total consideration
would be $70 per share resulting in an aggregate purchase price of approximately
$3.9 billion including related transaction costs of approximately $40 million.
The purchase price of Sundstrand common stock has been preliminarily allocated
to tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of Sundstrand based upon
estimates of their respective values. These allocations will be subsequently
adjusted based upon appraisals, valuations and other studies, which will be
conducted over the next several months. Final values may differ substantially
from those shown herein. The unaudited pro forma condensed statements of
operations combine the results of operations of United Technologies and
Sundstrand as if the Merger occurred on January 1, 1998.
The pro forma condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction
with United Technologies' and Sundstrand's historical financial statements. The
pro forma information presented is for informational purposes only and it is not
necessarily indicative of future earnings or financial position or of what the
earnings or financial position would have been had the Merger been completed on
January 1, 1998 or as of March 31, 1999. Historical financial statements of
United Technologies can be found in United Technologies' Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998, as amended to reflect UT
Automotive as a discontinued operation by United Technologies' Current Report on
Form 8-K filed on June 11, 1999, and in United Technologies' Form 10-Q for the
quarter ended March 31, 1999, which are incorporated herein by reference.
Sundstrand's historical financial statements can be found in its Annual Report
on Form 10-K, filed on March 31, 1999, and Sundstrand's Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q,

filed on May 13, 1999, for the quarter ended March 31, 1999, both of which are
incorporated herein by reference insofar as they relate to the periods ended
December 31, 1998 and March 31, 1999.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED BALANCE SHEET
AS OF MARCH 31, 1999
The unaudited pro forma condensed balance sheet includes the pro forma
adjustments to reflect the sale of UT Automotive and the Merger as if both took
place on March 31, 1999.

the sale after the accrual of other transaction-related expenses.

cash transaction costs and the issuance of United Technologies stock

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS
FOR THE PERIODS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999 AND DECEMBER 31, 1998
The unaudited pro forma condensed statements of operations include the pro
forma adjustments to reflect the Merger as if it took place on January 1, 1998.
A. Adjustment to reflect goodwill amortization from the Merger over an
estimated useful life of 40 years.
B. Reflects the interest expense incurred by United Technologies in connection
with the Merger. Interest expense was calculated (360-day basis) on a pro
forma basis using an interest rate of 6.5% on medium-term and long-term debt
of $1.0 billion. A 50 basis-point change in interest rates would have a $5
million annual impact on interest expense.
C. Adjustment reflects the additional depreciation on the write-up of fixed
assets to fair value over a 10 year useful life.
D. Adjustment to eliminate sales and cost of sales between Sundstrand and United
Technologies.
E. Adjustment to record the tax effects related to the pro forma adjustments.
