PART I.

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Honeywell International Inc. (Honeywell) is a diversified technology and
manufacturing company, serving customers worldwide with aerospace products and
services, control, sensing and security technologies for buildings, homes and
industry, automotive products, specialty chemicals, fibers, and electronic and
advanced materials. Honeywell was incorporated in Delaware in 1985.

MAJOR BUSINESSES

We globally manage our business operations through strategic business units,
which have been aggregated under four reportable segments: Aerospace, Automation
and Control Solutions, Specialty Materials and Transportation and Power Systems.
Financial information related to our reportable segments is included in Note 23
of Notes to Financial Statements in our 2002 Annual Report to Shareowners which
is incorporated herein by reference.

Following is a description of our strategic business units:

AEROSPACE SALES

Our sales to aerospace customers were 40, 41 and 40 percent of our total
sales in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Our sales to commercial aerospace
original equipment manufacturers were 9, 12 and 11 percent of our total sales in
2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. If there were a large decline in sales of
aircraft that use our components, operating results could be negatively
impacted. In addition, our sales to commercial aftermarket customers of
aerospace products and services were 14, 15 and 17 percent of our total sales in
2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. If there were a large decline in the number
of flight hours for aircraft that use our components or services, operating
results could be negatively impacted. The terrorist attacks on September 11,
2001 resulted in an abrupt downturn in the aviation industry which was already
negatively impacted by a weak economy. This dramatic downturn in the commercial
air transport industry continued to adversely impact the operating results of
our Aerospace segment in 2002. In response, we have accelerated our
cost-reduction actions to mitigate the impact of this downturn.

U.S. GOVERNMENT SALES

Sales to the U.S. Government (principally by our Aerospace segment), acting
through its various departments and agencies and through prime contractors,
amounted to $2,277, $2,491 and $2,219 million in 2002, 2001 and 2000,
respectively, which included sales to the U.S. Department of Defense of $1,833,
$1,631 and $1,548 million in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. U.S. defense
spending increased in 2002 and is also expected to increase in 2003.

In addition to normal business risks, companies engaged in supplying
military and other equipment to the U.S. Government are subject to unusual
risks, including dependence on Congressional appropriations and administrative
allotment of funds, changes in governmental procurement legislation and
regulations and other policies that may reflect military and political
developments, significant changes in contract scheduling, complexity of designs
and the rapidity with which they become obsolete, necessity for constant design
improvements, intense competition for U.S. Government business necessitating
increases in time and investment for design and development, difficulty of
forecasting costs and schedules when bidding on developmental and highly
sophisticated technical work and other factors characteristic of the industry.
Changes are customary over the life of U.S. Government contracts, particularly
development contracts, and generally result in adjustments of contract prices.

7

We, like other government contractors, are subject to government
investigations of business practices and compliance with government procurement
regulations. Although such regulations provide that a contractor may be
suspended or barred from government contracts under certain circumstances, and
the outcome of pending government investigations cannot be predicted with
certainty, we are not currently aware of any such investigations that we expect,
individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on us. In
addition, we have a proactive business compliance program designed to ensure
compliance and sound business practices.

BACKLOG

Our total backlog at year-end 2002 and 2001 was $7,332 and $7,178 million,
respectively. We anticipate that approximately $6,194 million of the 2002
backlog will be filled in 2003. We believe that backlog is not necessarily a
reliable indicator of our future sales because a substantial portion of the
orders constituting this backlog may be canceled at the customer's option.

COMPETITION

We are subject to active competition in substantially all product and
service areas. Competition is expected to continue in all geographic regions.
Competitive conditions vary widely among the thousands of products and services
provided by us, and vary country by country. Depending on the particular
customer or market involved, our businesses compete on a variety of factors,
such as price, quality, reliability, delivery, customer service, performance,
applied technology, product innovation and product recognition. Brand identity,
service to customers and quality are generally important competitive factors for
our products and services, and there is considerable price competition. Other
competitive factors for certain products include breadth of product line,
research and development efforts and technical and managerial capability. While
our competitive position varies among our products and services, we believe we
are a significant competitor in each of our major product and service classes.
However, a number of our products and services are sold in competition with
those of a large number of other companies, some of which have substantial
financial resources and significant technological capabilities. In addition,
some of our products compete with the captive component divisions of original
equipment manufacturers.

INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS

We are engaged in manufacturing, sales and research and development mainly
in the United States, Europe, Canada, Asia and Latin America. U.S. exports and
foreign manufactured products are significant to our operations.

Our international operations, including U.S. exports, are potentially
subject to a number of unique risks and limitations, including: fluctuations in
currency value; exchange control regulations; wage and price controls;
employment regulations; foreign investment laws; import and trade restrictions,
including embargoes; and governmental instability. However, we have limited
exposure in high risk countries and have taken action to mitigate these risks.

Financial information related to geographic areas is included in Note 24 of
Notes to Financial Statements in our 2002 Annual Report to Shareowners which is
incorporated herein by reference.

RAW MATERIALS

The principal raw materials used in our operations are generally readily
available. We experienced no significant or unusual problems in the purchase of
key raw materials and commodities in 2002. We are not dependent on any one
supplier for a material amount of our raw materials. However, we are highly
dependent on our suppliers and subcontractors in order to meet commitments to
our customers. In addition, many major components and product equipment items
are procured or subcontracted on a sole-source basis with a number of domestic
and foreign companies. We maintain a qualification and performance surveillance
process to control risk associated with such reliance on third parties. While we
believe that sources of supply for raw materials and components are generally
adequate, it is difficult to predict what effects shortages or price increases
may have in the future. A prolonged and substantial increase above recent
historical levels in petroleum prices would adversely affect our Specialty
Materials businesses which use petroleum byproducts as raw materials. However,
at present,

8

we have no reason to believe a shortage of raw materials will cause any material
adverse impact during 2003.

PATENTS, TRADEMARKS, LICENSES AND DISTRIBUTION RIGHTS

Our business as a whole, and that of our strategic business units, are not
dependent upon any single patent or related group of patents, or any licenses or
distribution rights. We own, or are licensed under, a large number of patents,
patent applications and trademarks acquired over a period of many years, which
relate to many of our products or improvements to those products and which are
of importance to our business. From time to time, new patents and trademarks are
obtained, and patent and trademark licenses and rights are acquired from others.
We also have distribution rights of varying terms for a number of products and
services produced by other companies. In our judgment, those rights are adequate
for the conduct of our business. We believe that, in the aggregate, the rights
under our patents, trademarks and licenses are generally important to our
operations, but we do not consider any patent, trademark or related group of
patents, or any licensing or distribution rights related to a specific process
or product to be of material importance in relation to our total business.

We have registered trademarks for a number of our products, including such
consumer brands as Honeywell, Prestone, FRAM, Anso and Autolite.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Our research activities are directed toward the discovery and development of
new products and processes, improvements in existing products and processes, and
the development of new uses for existing products.

Research and development expense totaled $757, $832 and $818 million in
2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The decrease in research and development
expense in 2002 compared with 2001 relates mainly to lower spending by our
Aerospace segment due primarily to program completions and fewer new program
launches by original equipment manufacturers. Customer-sponsored (principally
the U.S. Government) research and development activities amounted to an
additional $603, $697 and $560 million in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

ENVIRONMENT

We are subject to various federal, state and local government requirements
regulating the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relating
to the protection of the environment. It is our policy to comply with these
requirements, and we believe that, as a general matter, our policies, practices
and procedures are properly designed to prevent unreasonable risk of
environmental damage, and of resulting financial liability, in connection with
our business. Some risk of environmental damage is, however, inherent in some of
our operations and products, as it is with other companies engaged in similar
businesses.

We are and have been engaged in the handling, manufacture, use and disposal
of many substances classified as hazardous or toxic by one or more regulatory
agencies. We believe that, as a general matter, our handling, manufacture, use
and disposal of these substances are in accord with environmental laws and
regulations. It is possible, however, that future knowledge or other
developments, such as improved capability to detect substances in the
environment or increasingly strict environmental laws and standards and
enforcement policies, could bring into question our handling, manufacture, use
or disposal of these substances.

Among other environmental requirements, we are subject to the federal
superfund law, and similar state laws, under which we have been designated as a
potentially responsible party that may be liable for cleanup costs associated
with various hazardous waste sites, some of which are on the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency's superfund priority list. Although, under some court
interpretations of these laws, there is a possibility that a responsible party
might have to bear more than its proportional share of the cleanup costs if it
is unable to obtain appropriate contribution from other responsible parties, we
have not had to bear significantly more than our proportional share in multi-
party situations taken as a whole.

Further information regarding environmental matters is included in
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations in our 2002 Annual Report to Shareowners

9

which is incorporated herein by reference and in Item 3. Legal Proceedings of
this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

EMPLOYEES

We have approximately 108,000 employees at December 31, 2002, of which
approximately 63,000 were located in the United States.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

We have over 1,000 locations consisting of plants, research laboratories,
sales offices and other facilities. Our headquarters and administrative complex
is located at Morristown, New Jersey. Our plants are generally located to serve
large marketing areas and to provide accessibility to raw materials and labor
pools. Our properties are generally maintained in good operating condition.
Utilization of these plants may vary with sales to customers and other business
conditions; however, no major operating facility is significantly idle. We own
or lease warehouses, railroad cars, barges, automobiles, trucks, airplanes and
materials handling and data processing equipment. We also lease space for
administrative and sales staffs. Our properties and equipment are in good
operating condition and are adequate for our present needs. We do not anticipate
difficulty in renewing existing leases as they expire or in finding alternative
facilities.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

SHAREOWNER LITIGATION -- Honeywell and seven of its current and former
officers were named as defendants in several purported class action lawsuits
filed in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey (the
Securities Law Complaints). The Securities Law Complaints principally allege
that the defendants violated federal securities laws by purportedly making false
and misleading statements and by failing to disclose material information
concerning Honeywell's financial performance, thereby allegedly causing the
value of Honeywell's stock to be artificially inflated. On January 15, 2002, the
District Court dismissed the consolidated complaint against four of Honeywell's
current and former officers. The Court has granted plaintiffs' motion for class
certification defining the purported class as all purchasers of Honeywell stock
between December 20, 1999 and June 19, 2000.

The parties have agreed to participate in a two day settlement mediation in
April, 2003 in an attempt to resolve the cases without resort to a trial. All
significant discovery in the cases has been stayed pending further order of the
court.

10

Notwithstanding our agreement to mediate, we believe there is no factual or
legal basis for the allegations in the Securities Law Complaints. Although it is
not possible at this time to predict the litigation outcome of these cases, we
expect to prevail if the cases are not resolved through mediation. However, an
adverse litigation outcome could be material to our consolidated financial
position or results of operations. As a result of the uncertainty regarding the
outcome of this matter no provision has been made in our financial statements
with respect to this contingent liability.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS -- We are subject to various federal, state and local
government requirements relating to the protection of employee health and safety
and the environment. We believe that, as a general matter, our policies,
practices and procedures are properly designed to prevent unreasonable risk of
environmental damage and personal injury to our employees and employees of our
customers and that our handling, manufacture, use and disposal of hazardous or
toxic substances are in accord with environmental laws and regulations. However,
mainly because of past operations and operations of predecessor companies, we,
like other companies engaged in similar businesses, have incurred remedial
response and voluntary cleanup costs for site contamination and are a party to
lawsuits and claims associated with environmental matters, including past
production of products containing toxic substances. Additional lawsuits, claims
and costs involving environmental matters are likely to continue to arise in the
future.

With respect to environmental matters involving site contamination, we
continually conduct studies, individually at our owned sites, and jointly as a
member of industry groups at non-owned sites, to determine the feasibility of
various remedial techniques to address environmental matters. It is our policy
to record appropriate liabilities for environmental matters when environmental
assessments are made or remedial efforts or damage claim payments are probable
and the costs can be reasonably estimated. With respect to site contamination,
the timing of these accruals is generally no later than the completion of
feasibility studies. We expect to fund expenditures for these matters from
operating cash flow. The timing of cash expenditures depends on a number of
factors, including the timing of litigation and settlements of personal injury
and property damage claims, regulatory approval of cleanup projects, remedial
techniques to be utilized and agreements with other parties.

Although we do not currently possess sufficient information to reasonably
estimate the amounts of liabilities to be recorded upon future completion of
studies, litigation or settlements, and neither the timing nor the amount of the
ultimate costs associated with environmental matters can be determined, they
could be material to our consolidated results of operations. However,
considering our past experience and existing reserves, we do not expect that
these matters will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial
position.

ASBESTOS MATTERS -- Like many other industrial companies, Honeywell is a
defendant in personal injury actions related to asbestos. We did not mine or
produce asbestos, nor did we make or sell insulation products or other
construction materials that have been identified as the primary cause of
asbestos related disease in the vast majority of claimants. Rather, we made
several products that contained small amounts of asbestos.

Honeywell's Bendix Friction Materials business manufactured automotive brake
pads that included asbestos in an encapsulated form. There is a group of
potential claimants consisting largely of professional brake mechanics. From
1981 through December 31, 2002, we have resolved approximately 60,000 Bendix
claims at an average indemnity cost per claim of approximately two thousand
dollars. Through the second quarter of 2002, Honeywell had no out-of-pocket
costs for these cases since its insurance deductible was satisfied many years
ago. Beginning with claim payments made in the third quarter of 2002, Honeywell
began advancing indemnity and defense claim costs which amounted to
approximately $70 million in payments in the second half of 2002. A substantial
portion of this amount is expected to be reimbursed by insurance and $57 million
has been recorded as a receivable. There are currently approximately 50,000
claims pending and we have no reason to believe that the historic rate of
dismissal will change.

On January 30, 2003, Honeywell and Federal-Mogul Corp. (Federal-Mogul)
entered into a letter of intent (LOI) pursuant to which Federal-Mogul would
acquire Honeywell's automotive Bendix Friction Materials (Bendix) business, with
the exception of certain U.S.-based assets. In exchange, Honeywell would receive
a permanent channeling injunction shielding it from all current and future
personal injury asbestos liabilities related to Honeywell's Bendix business.

11

Federal-Mogul, its U.S. subsidiaries and certain of its United Kingdom
subsidiaries voluntarily filed for financial restructuring under Chapter 11 of
the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in October 2001. Federal-Mogul will seek to establish
one or more trusts under Section 524(g) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code as part of
its reorganization plan, including a trust for the benefit of Bendix asbestos
claimants. The reorganization plan to be submitted to the Bankruptcy Court for
approval will contemplate that the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Delaware would issue
an injunction in favor of Honeywell that would channel to the Bendix 524(g)
trust all present and future asbestos claims relating to Honeywell's Bendix
business. The 524(g) trust created for the benefit of the Bendix claimants would
receive the rights to proceeds from Honeywell's Bendix related insurance
policies and would make these proceeds available to the Bendix claimants.
Honeywell would have no obligation to contribute any additional amounts toward
the settlement or resolution of Bendix related asbestos claims.

In the fourth quarter of 2002, we recorded a charge of $167 million
consisting of a $131 million reserve for the sale of Bendix to Federal-Mogul,
our estimate of asbestos related liabilities net of insurance recoveries and
costs to complete the anticipated transaction with Federal-Mogul. Completion of
the transaction contemplated by the LOI is subject to the negotiation of
definitive agreements, the confirmation of Federal-Mogul's plan of
reorganization by the Bankruptcy Court, the issuance of a final, non-appealable
524(g) channeling injunction permanently enjoining any Bendix related asbestos
claims against Honeywell, and the receipt of all required governmental
approvals. We do not believe that completion of such transaction would have a
material adverse impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial
position. There can be no assurance, however, that the transaction contemplated
by the LOI will be completed. Honeywell presently has $2 billion of insurance
coverage remaining with respect to Bendix related asbestos claims. Although it
is impossible to predict the outcome of pending or future claims, in light of
our potential exposure, our prior experience in resolving these claims, and our
insurance coverage, we do not believe that the Bendix related asbestos claims
will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations or
financial position.

Another source of claims is refractory products (high temperature bricks and
cement) sold largely to the steel industry in the East and Midwest by North
American Refractories Company (NARCO), a business we owned from 1979 to 1986.
Less than 2 percent of NARCO's products contained asbestos.

When we sold the NARCO business in 1986, we agreed to indemnify NARCO with
respect to personal injury claims for products that had been discontinued prior
to the sale (as defined in the sale agreement). NARCO retained all liability for
all other claims. NARCO had resolved approximately 176,000 claims through
January 4, 2002, the date NARCO filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the
U.S. Bankruptcy Code, at an average cost per claim of two thousand two hundred
dollars. Of those claims, 43 percent were dismissed on the ground that there was
insufficient evidence that NARCO was responsible for the claimant's asbestos
exposure. As of the date of NARCO's bankruptcy filing, there were approximately
116,000 remaining claims pending against NARCO, including approximately 7
percent in which Honeywell was also named as a defendant. Since 1983, Honeywell
and our insurers have contributed to the defense and settlement costs associated
with NARCO claims. We have approximately $2 billion of insurance remaining that
can be specifically allocated to NARCO related liability.

As a result of the NARCO bankruptcy filing, all of the claims pending
against NARCO are automatically stayed pending the reorganization of NARCO. In
addition, because the claims pending against Honeywell necessarily will impact
the liabilities of NARCO, because the insurance policies held by Honeywell are
essential to a successful NARCO reorganization, and because Honeywell has
offered to commit the value of those policies to the reorganization, the
bankruptcy court has temporarily enjoined any claims against Honeywell, current
or future, related to NARCO. Although the stay has been extended eleven times
since January 4, 2002, there is no assurance that such stay will remain in
effect. In connection with NARCO's bankruptcy filing, we paid NARCO's parent
company $40 million and agreed to provide NARCO with up to $20 million in
financing. We also agreed to pay $20 million to NARCO's parent company upon the
filing of a plan of reorganization for NARCO acceptable to Honeywell, and to pay
NARCO's parent company $40 million, and to forgive any outstanding NARCO
indebtedness, upon the confirmation and consummation of such a plan.

As a result of ongoing negotiations with counsel representing NARCO related
asbestos claimants regarding settlement of all pending and potential NARCO
related asbestos claims against Honeywell,

12

we have reached definitive agreements or agreements in principle with
approximately 236,000 claimants, which represents approximately 90 percent of
the approximately 260,000 current claimants who are now expected to file a claim
as part of the NARCO reorganization process. We are also in discussions with the
NARCO Committee of Asbestos Creditors on Trust Distribution Procedures for
NARCO. We believe that, as part of the NARCO plan of reorganization, a trust
will be established pursuant to these Trust Distribution Procedures for the
benefit of all asbestos claimants, current and future. If the trust is put in
place and approved by the court as fair and equitable, Honeywell as well as
NARCO will be entitled to a permanent channeling injunction barring all present
and future individual actions in state or federal courts and requiring all
asbestos related claims based on exposure to NARCO products to be made against
the federally-supervised trust. As part of its ongoing settlement negotiations,
Honeywell is seeking to cap its annual contributions to the trust with respect
to future claims at a level that would not have a material impact on Honeywell's
operating cash flows. Given the substantial progress of negotiations between
Honeywell and NARCO related asbestos claimants and between Honeywell and the
Committee of Asbestos Creditors during the fourth quarter of 2002, Honeywell has
developed an estimated liability for settlement of pending and future asbestos
claims.

During the fourth quarter 2002, Honeywell recorded a charge of $1.4 billion
for NARCO related asbestos litigation charges, net of insurance recoveries. This
charge consists of the estimated liability to settle current asbestos related
claims, the estimated liability related to future asbestos related claims
through 2018 and obligations to NARCO's parent, net of insurance recoveries of
$1.8 billion.

The estimated liability for current claims is based on terms and conditions,
including evidentiary requirements, in definitive agreements or agreements in
principle with approximately 90 percent of current claimants. Once finalized,
settlement payments with respect to current claims are expected to be made over
approximately a four-year period.

The liability for future claims estimates the probable value of future
asbestos related bodily injury claims asserted against NARCO over a 15 year
period and obligations to NARCO's parent as discussed above. In light of the
uncertainties inherent in making long-term projections we do not believe that we
have a reasonable basis for estimating asbestos claims beyond 2018 under
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 5 'Accounting for Contingencies.'
Honeywell retained the expert services of Hamilton, Rabinovitz and Alschuler,
Inc. (HR&A) to project the probable number and value, including trust claim
handling costs, of asbestos related future liabilities. The methodology used to
estimate the liability for future claims has been commonly accepted by numerous
courts and is the same methodology that is utilized by the expert who is
routinely retained by the asbestos claimants committee in asbestos related
bankruptcies. The valuation methodology includes an analysis of the population
likely to have been exposed to asbestos containing products, epidemiological
studies to estimate the number of people likely to develop asbestos related
diseases, NARCO claims filing history and the pending inventory of NARCO
asbestos related claims.

Honeywell has substantial insurance that reimburses it for portions of the
costs incurred to settle NARCO related claims and court judgments as well as
defense costs. This coverage is provided by a large number of insurance policies
written by dozens of insurance companies in both the domestic insurance market
and the London excess market. Over one-half of this coverage is with Equitas and
other London-based insurance companies with a majority of this coverage subject
to a coverage-in-place agreement. Coverage-in-place agreements are settlement
agreements between policyholders and the insurers specifying the terms and
conditions under which coverage will be applied as claims are presented for
payment. These agreements govern such things as what events will be deemed to
trigger coverage, how liability for a claim will be allocated among insurers and
what procedures the policyholder must follow in order to obligate the insurer to
pay claims. We conducted an analysis to determine the amount of insurance that
we estimate is probable that we will recover in relation to payment of current
and projected future claims. While the substantial majority of our insurance
carriers are solvent, some of our individual carriers are insolvent, which has
been considered in our analysis of probable recoveries. Some of our insurance
carriers have challenged our right to enter into settlement agreements resolving
all NARCO related asbestos claims against Honeywell. However, we believe there
is no factual or legal basis for such challenges and we believe that it is
probable that we will prevail in the resolution of, or in any litigation that is
brought regarding these disputes and have recognized approximately $900 million
in probable insurance recoveries from these carriers. We made

13

judgments concerning insurance coverage that we believe are reasonable and
consistent with our historical dealings with our insurers, our knowledge of any
pertinent solvency issues surrounding insurers and various judicial
determinations relevant to our insurance programs. Based on our analysis, we
recorded insurance recoveries that are deemed probable through 2018 of
$1.8 billion.

Projecting future events is subject to many uncertainties that could cause
the NARCO related asbestos liabilities to be higher or lower than those
projected and recorded. There is no assurance that ongoing settlement
negotiations will be successfully completed, that a plan of reorganization will
be proposed or confirmed, that insurance recoveries will be timely or whether
there will be any NARCO related asbestos claims beyond 2018. Given the inherent
uncertainty in predicting future events, we plan to review our estimates
periodically, and update them based on our experience and other relevant
factors. Similarly we will reevaluate our projections concerning our probable
insurance recoveries in light of any changes to the projected liability or other
developments that may impact insurance recoveries.

OTHER MATTERS -- We are subject to a number of other lawsuits,
investigations and claims (some of which involve substantial amounts) arising
out of the conduct of our business. With respect to all these other matters,
