NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements at September 30, 2009 and for the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 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. We have evaluated for disclosure subsequent events that have occurred up to October 23, 2009, the date of issuance of our financial statements. The results reported in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should not necessarily be taken as indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year. The financial information included herein should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes in our Annual Report to Shareowners (2008 Annual Report) incorporated by reference to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for calendar year 2008 (2008 Form 10-K). Certain reclassifications have been made herein to 2008 amounts to conform to the current year presentation of noncontrolling interests and collaborative arrangements as required by the Consolidation Topic and Collaborative Arrangements Topic, respectively, of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (FASB ASC). For further information, see discussion in Notes 9 and 11, respectively, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Note 1: Acquisitions, Dispositions, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Business Acquisitions. We account for business combinations as required by the provisions of the Business Combinations Topic of the FASB ASC, which includes provisions that we adopted effective January 1, 2009. The accounting for business combinations retains the underlying concepts of the previously issued standard in that all business combinations are still required to be accounted for at fair value, but changes the method of applying the acquisition method in a number of significant aspects. Acquisition costs are generally expensed as incurred; noncontrolling interests are valued at fair value at the acquisition date; in-process research and development is recorded at fair value as an indefinite-lived intangible asset at the acquisition date; restructuring costs associated with a business combination are generally expensed subsequent to the acquisition date; and changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition date generally affect income tax expense. These changes are effective on a prospective basis for all of our business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after January 1, 2009, with the exception of the accounting for valuation allowances on deferred taxes and acquired tax contingencies. Adjustments for valuation allowances on deferred taxes and acquired tax contingencies associated with acquisitions that closed prior to January 1, 2009 would also apply the revised accounting for business combination provisions.

During the first nine months of 2009, our investment in businesses was approximately $557 million. Investments in the third quarter of 2009 amounted to $360 million, primarily reflecting the acquisition of additional shares in GST Holdings Limited (GST), a fire alarm system provider in China. The acquisition of these additional shares in GST increased our share ownership from 29% to 99% and further strengthens UTC Fire & Security’s presence in the Chinese fire safety industry. The remainder of our investment in businesses for the first nine months of the year consisted of a number of small acquisitions in both our commercial and aerospace businesses. For acquisitions completed prior to January 1, 2009, the final purchase price allocation of all acquired businesses is subject to the completion of the valuation of certain assets and liabilities, as well as plans for consolidation of facilities, relocation or reduction of employees and other restructuring activities. For acquisitions occurring on or after January 1, 2009, during the measurement period we will recognize additional assets or liabilities if new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have resulted in the recognition of those assets and liabilities as of that date. The measurement period shall not exceed one year from the acquisition date. Further, any associated restructuring activities will be expensed in future periods and not recorded through purchase accounting as previously done for acquisitions occurring prior to January 1, 2009. There was no significant impact on our acquisition activity in the first nine months of 2009 from these changes in the provisions of accounting for business combinations.

During the second quarter of 2009, Otis recorded a $52 million non-cash, non-taxable gain recognized on the remeasurement to fair value of a previously held equity interest in a joint venture as a result of the purchase of a controlling interest.

In July 2009, Carrier and Watsco, Inc (Watsco) formed Carrier Enterprise, LLC, a venture to distribute Carrier, Bryant, Payne and Totaline residential and light commercial heating, ventilating and air-conditioning products in the U.S. Sunbelt region and selected territories in the Caribbean and Latin America. As part of the transaction, Carrier contributed its distribution businesses located in these regions into the new venture. In consideration of its contribution, Carrier received approximately 3 million shares of common stock of Watsco and a 40 percent noncontrolling interest in the new venture, which included a business contributed by Watsco. Watsco owns a 60 percent interest in the venture with options to purchase an additional 20 percent interest from Carrier in future years. Carrier recognized a gain of approximately $57 million in the third quarter of 2009 as a result of its contribution of the majority of its U.S. residential sales and distribution businesses in this new venture.

Amortization of intangible assets for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $88 million and $259 million, respectively, compared with $85 million and $272 million for the same periods of 2008. Amortization of these intangible assets for 2009 through 2013 is expected to approximate $280 million per year.

The computation of diluted earnings per share excludes the effect of the potential exercise of stock awards, including stock appreciation rights (SARs) and stock options when the average market price of the common stock is lower than the exercise price of the related SARs and options during the period. These outstanding stock awards are not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would have been antidilutive. For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2009, the number of stock awards excluded from the computation was 15.2 million and 35.7 million, respectively. For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2008, the number of stock awards excluded from the computation was 10.2 million and 10.1 million, respectively.

Note 3: Inventories and Contracts in Progress

As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, inventory also includes capitalized research and development costs of $873 million and $833 million, respectively, related to certain aerospace programs. These capitalized costs are liquidated as production units are delivered to the customer. The capitalized contract research and development costs within inventory principally relate to capitalized costs on Sikorsky’s CH-148 contract with the Canadian government. The CH-148 is a derivative of the H-92, a military variant of the S-92.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2008 inventory components presented above in order to conform to the current year presentation.

Note 4: Borrowings and Lines of Credit

Our borrowings consist of the following:

 

(in millions of dollars)		September 30, 2009			December 31, 2008
Short-term borrowings:
Commercial paper		$	592		$	150
Revolving credit borrowings			—			461
Other borrowings			351			412
Total short-term borrowings		$	943		$	1,023

At September 30, 2009, we had committed credit agreements from banks permitting aggregate borrowings of up to $2.5 billion under a $1.5 billion revolving credit agreement and a $1.0 billion multicurrency revolving credit agreement, both of which are available for general funding purposes, including acquisitions. As of September 30, 2009, there were no borrowings under either of these revolving credit agreements, which expire in October 2011 and November 2011, respectively. The undrawn portions under both of these agreements are also available to serve as backup facilities for the issuance of commercial paper. We generally use our commercial paper borrowings for general corporate purposes, including the funding of potential acquisitions and repurchases of our common stock.

In February 2009, we redeemed the entire $500 million outstanding principal amount of our LIBOR+.07% floating rate notes that were due June 1, 2009 at a redemption price in U.S. dollars equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus interest accrued. On June 1, 2009, we repaid our $400 million of 6.500 % notes due 2009 which matured on the same date.

We have an existing universal shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for an indeterminate amount of securities for future issuance, subject to our internal limitations on the amount of debt to be issued under this shelf registration statement.

Note 5: Income Taxes

We conduct business globally and, as a result, UTC or one or more of our subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business we are subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world, including such major jurisdictions as Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations for years before 1998.

In the ordinary course of business there is inherent uncertainty in quantifying our income tax positions. We assess our income tax positions and record tax benefits for all years subject to examination based upon management’s evaluation of the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date. For those tax positions where it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will be sustained, we have recorded the largest amount of tax benefit with a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. For those income tax positions where it is not more likely than not that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit has been recognized in the financial statements. We recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense. Penalties, if incurred, would be recognized as a component of income tax expense.

It is reasonably possible that over the next twelve months the amount of unrecognized tax benefits may change within a range of a net decrease of $125 million to a net increase of $50 million resulting from additional worldwide uncertain tax positions; from the reevaluation of current uncertain tax positions arising from developments in examinations, in appeals, or in the courts; or from the closure of tax statutes. Not included in the range is €182 million (approximately $267 million) of tax benefits that we have claimed related to a 1998 German reorganization. These tax benefits are currently being reviewed by the German Tax Office in the course of an audit of tax years 1999 to 2000. In 2008 the German Federal Tax Court denied benefits to another taxpayer in a case involving a

Table of Contents

German tax law relevant to our reorganization. The determination of the German Federal Tax Court on this other matter was appealed to the European Court of Justice (ECJ) to determine if the underlying German tax law is violative of European Union (EU) principles. On September 17, 2009 the ECJ issued an opinion in this case that is generally favorable to the other taxpayer and referred the case back to the German Federal Tax Court for further consideration of certain related issues. After consideration of the ECJ decision, we continue to believe that it is more likely than not that the relevant German tax law is violative of EU principles and we have not accrued tax expense for this matter. As developments in the other taxpayer’s case in the German courts warrant, it may become necessary for us to accrue for this matter, and related interest.

In the third quarter of 2009, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) completed examination fieldwork for the 2004 and 2005 tax years and issued its audit report. Based on the IRS audit report, in the third quarter of 2009 we filed a protest with respect to certain IRS-proposed adjustments with which we do not agree. These adjustments, included in the above range, will be addressed with the Appeals Division of the IRS. The timing of any resolution is currently uncertain. Also during the third quarter of 2009, the IRS commenced its review of our 2006 through 2008 tax years.

We recorded a $38 million reduction in tax expenses in the third quarter of 2009 relating to a re-evaluation of our liabilities and contingencies based on global examination activity in the quarter, including completion of our review of the 2004 and 2005 IRS audit report and our protest filing. In addition, we recognized approximately $17 million of associated pre-tax interest income adjustments in the third quarter of 2009.

The effective tax rate for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 has increased as compared to the same period of 2008 as a result of the tax effects of the Carrier and Watsco transaction and a $32 million adverse tax impact associated with a foreign reorganization, net of the reduction to tax expense relating to the re-evaluation of our tax liabilities and contingencies noted above. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 decreased as compared to the same period of 2008 as a result of the favorable tax impact of approximately $25 million in the first quarter of 2009 related to the formation of a commercial venture, the non-taxability in the second quarter of 2009 of the gain Otis realized on its purchase of a noncontrolling interest in a joint venture, partially offset by the net adverse impacts of the third quarter 2009 items.

Note 6: Employee Benefit Plans

Pension and Postretirement Plans. We sponsor both funded and unfunded domestic and foreign defined pension and postretirement plans. Contributions to these plans during the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 were as follows:

 

		Quarter Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
(in millions of dollars)		2009			2008			2009			2008
Defined Benefit Plans		$	182		$	13		$	633		$	58
Defined Contribution Plans		$	43		$	50		$	144		$	168

In the first nine months of 2009, we contributed $551 million in cash to our domestic defined benefit pension plans, including $150 million which was contributed in the third quarter of 2009. There were no contributions to our domestic defined benefit pension plans in the first nine months of 2008.

The following tables illustrate the components of net periodic benefit cost for our pension and other postretirement benefits:

Note 7: Restructuring and Related Costs

During the first nine months of 2009, we recorded net pre-tax restructuring and related charges in our business segments totaling $695 million for new and ongoing restructuring actions as follows:

 

(in millions of dollars)
Otis		$	131
Carrier			139
UTC Fire & Security			107
Pratt & Whitney			177
Hamilton Sundstrand			69
Sikorsky			7
Eliminations and other			62
General corporate expenses			3
Total		$	695

The net charges included $361 million in cost of sales, $311 million in selling, general and administrative expenses and $23 million in other income and, as described below, primarily relate to actions initiated during 2009 and 2008. Restructuring costs reflected in Eliminations and other primarily reflect the costs associated with the curtailment of our domestic pension plans.

2009 Actions. During the first nine months of 2009, we initiated restructuring actions relating to ongoing cost reduction efforts, including workforce reductions, the consolidation of field operations and the consolidation of repair and overhaul operations. We recorded net pre-tax restructuring and related charges totaling $667 million, including $335 million in cost of sales, $310 million in selling, general and administrative expenses and $22 million in other income.

We expect the 2009 actions that were initiated in the first nine months to result in net workforce reductions of approximately 13,000 hourly and salaried employees, the exiting of approximately 4.3 million net square feet of facilities and the disposal of assets associated with the exited facilities. As of September 30, 2009, net workforce reductions of approximately 9,200 employees have been completed. The majority of the remaining workforce and all facility related cost reduction actions are targeted for completion during 2010 and 2011. No specific plans for significant other actions have been finalized at this time.

On September 21, 2009, Pratt & Whitney announced plans to close its Connecticut Airfoil Repair Operations facility in East Hartford, Connecticut by the second quarter of 2010 and its engine overhaul facility in Cheshire, Connecticut by early 2011. On September 22, 2009, the International Association of Machinists (IAM) filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Hartford, Connecticut alleging that Pratt & Whitney’s decision to close these facilities and transfer certain work to facilities outside Connecticut breached the terms of its collective bargaining agreement with the IAM, and seeking to enjoin Pratt & Whitney from moving the work for the duration of the current collective bargaining agreement. Pratt & Whitney believes that it has fully complied with the collective bargaining agreement and that the IAM’s contentions are without merit. Trial is currently scheduled to begin December 14, 2009, and a decision is anticipated by early 2010. Pratt & Whitney has recorded $51 million of restructuring costs associated with these planned closures.

2008 Actions. During the first nine months of 2009, we recorded net pre-tax restructuring and related charges and reversals totaling $26 million for restructuring actions initiated in 2008, including $24 million in cost of sales, $1 million in selling, general and administrative expenses and $1 million in other income. The 2008 actions relate to ongoing cost reduction efforts, including selling, general and administrative reductions, principally at Carrier, Pratt & Whitney, and UTC Fire & Security, and the consolidation of manufacturing facilities.

As of September 30, 2009, net workforce reductions of approximately 5,000 employees of an expected 6,200 employees have been completed, and 200,000 net square feet of facilities of an expected 1.2 million net square feet have been exited. The majority of the remaining workforce and facility related cost reduction actions are targeted for completion during 2009 and 2010.

Note 8: Financial Instruments

We enter into derivative instruments for risk management purposes only, including derivatives designated as hedging instruments under the Derivatives and Hedging Topic of the FASB ASC and those utilized as economic hedges. We operate internationally and, in the normal course of business, are exposed to fluctuations in interest rates, foreign exchange rates and commodity prices. These fluctuations can increase the costs of financing, investing and operating the business. We have used derivative instruments, including swaps, forward contracts and options to manage certain foreign currency, interest rate and commodity price exposures.

By nature, all financial instruments involve market and credit risks. We enter into derivative and other financial instruments with major investment grade financial institutions and have policies to monitor the credit risk of those counterparties. We limit counterparty exposure and concentration of risk by diversifying counterparties. While there can be no assurance, we do not anticipate any material non-performance by any of these counterparties.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts. We manage our foreign currency transaction risks to acceptable limits through the use of derivatives to hedge forecasted cash flows associated with foreign currency transaction exposures which are accounted for as cash flow hedges, as deemed appropriate. To the extent these derivatives are effective in offsetting the variability of the hedged cash flows, and otherwise meet the hedge accounting criteria of the Derivatives and Hedging Topic of the FASB ASC, changes in the derivatives’ fair value are not included in current earnings but are included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss. These changes in fair value will subsequently be reclassified into earnings as a component of product sales or expenses, as applicable, when the forecasted transaction occurs. To the extent that a previously designated hedging transaction is no longer an effective hedge, any ineffectiveness measured in the hedging relationship is recorded currently in earnings in the period it occurs.

Table of Contents

To the extent the hedge accounting criteria are not met, the foreign currency forward contracts are utilized as economic hedges and changes in the fair value of these contracts are recorded currently in earnings in the period in which they occur. These include hedges that are used to reduce exchange rate risks arising from the change in fair value of certain foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities (i.e. payables, receivables) and other economic hedges where the hedge accounting criteria were not met.

The four quarter rolling average of the notional amount of foreign exchange contracts hedging foreign currency transactions was $8.6 billion and $11.2 billion at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.

Commodity Forward Contracts. We enter into commodity forward contracts to reduce the risk of fluctuations in the price we pay for certain commodities (for example, nickel) which are used directly in the production of our products, or are components of the products we procure to use in the production of our products. These hedges are economic hedges and the changes in fair value of these contracts are recorded currently in earnings in the period in which they occur. The fair value of commodity contracts were insignificant for the period ended September 30, 2009.

The outstanding notional amount of contracts hedging commodity exposures was insignificant at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.

The following table summarizes the fair value of derivative instruments as of September 30, 2009:

 

(in millions of dollars)		Assets Balance Sheet Location					Liabilities Balance Sheet Location
Derivatives designated as hedging instruments:
Foreign Exchange Contracts		Other Current Assets		$	48		Accrued Liabilities		$	61
Foreign Exchange Contracts		Other Assets			57		Other Long-Term Liabilities			1
				$	105				$	62
Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments:
Foreign Exchange Contracts		Other Current Assets		$	84		Accrued Liabilities		$	73
Foreign Exchange Contracts		Other Assets			6		Other Long-Term Liabilities			10
				$	90				$	83
Total Derivative Contracts				$	195				$	145

The impact on Accumulated other comprehensive loss from foreign exchange derivative instruments that qualified as cash flow hedges for the period was as follows:

 

(in millions of dollars)		Quarter Ended September 30, 2009				Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009
Gain recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss		$	148			$	150
Loss reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive loss into Product Sales (effective portion)			(39	)			(138	)
Loss recognized in Other Income, net on derivatives (ineffective portion)			—				(5	)

Assuming current market conditions continue, of the amount recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss, a $9 million pre-tax gain is expected to be reclassified into product sales or cost of products sold to reflect the fixed prices obtained from foreign exchange hedging within the next 12 months. Gains and losses recognized in earnings related to the discontinuance or the ineffectiveness of cash flow hedges was $5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The ineffectiveness recognized in earnings was the result of certain forecasted product sales transactions no longer occurring and was recorded in the first quarter of 2009. At September 30, 2009, all derivative contracts accounted for as cash flow hedges mature by December 2014.

The effect on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations from foreign exchange contracts not designated as hedging instruments was as follows:

 

(in millions of dollars)		Quarter Ended September 30, 2009			Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009
Gain (Loss) recognized in Other Income, net		$	17		$	(31	)

Fair Value Disclosure. The Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the FASB ASC defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands the related disclosure requirements. The Topic indicates, among other things, that a fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell an asset or transfer a liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability, and also defines fair value based upon an exit price model.

We adopted the requirements of the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure Topic as of January 1, 2008, with the exception of the application to non-recurring nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, which was delayed and therefore adopted as of January 1, 2009. As of September 30, 2009, we do not have any significant non-recurring measurements of nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities.

Valuation Hierarchy. The Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure Topic of the FASB ASC establishes a valuation hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs to the valuations used to measure fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, including interest rates, yield curves and credit risks, or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data through correlation. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on our own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The following table provides the assets and liabilities carried at fair value measured on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2009:

 

(in millions of dollars)		Total Carrying Value at September 30, 2009			Quoted price in active markets (Level 1)			Significant other observable inputs (Level 2)			Unobservable inputs (Level 3)
Available-for-sale securities		$	631		$	631		$	—		$	—
Derivative assets			195			—			195			—
Derivative liabilities			145			—			145			—

Valuation Techniques. Our available for sale securities include equity investments that are traded in an active market. They are measured at fair value using closing stock prices from active markets and are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Our derivative assets and liabilities include foreign exchange and commodity derivatives that are measured at fair value using observable market inputs such as forward rates, interest rates, our own credit risk and our counterparties’ credit risks. Based on these inputs, the derivative assets and liabilities are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. Based on our continued ability to trade securities and enter into forward contracts, we consider the markets for our fair value instruments to be active.

As of September 30, 2009, there has not been any significant impact to the fair value of our derivative liabilities due to our own credit risk. Similarly, there has not been any significant adverse impact to our derivative assets based on our evaluation of our counterparties’ credit risks.

The Financial Instruments Topic of the FASB ASC requires interim disclosures regarding the fair values of financial instruments. Additionally, this topic requires disclosure of the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of certain financial instruments on an interim basis as well as changes in the methods and significant assumptions from prior periods. The interim disclosure requirements of this Topic do not change the previous accounting treatment for these financial instruments. We adopted the interim disclosure requirements under this Topic during the quarter ended June 30, 2009.

The carrying amounts and fair values of financial instruments at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 are as follows:

 

		September 30, 2009								December 31, 2008
(in millions of dollars)		Carrying Amount				Fair Value				Carrying Amount				Fair Value
Financial Assets and Liabilities
Marketable equity securities		$	631			$	631			$	325			$	325
Long-term receivables			362				345				343				316
Customer financing notes receivable			320				256				316				245
Short-term borrowings			(943	)			(943	)			(1,023	)			(1,023	)
Long-term debt			(9,440	)			(10,352	)			(10,408	)			(11,332	)

Table of Contents

The above fair values were computed based on comparable transactions, quoted market prices, discounted future cash flows or an estimate of the amount to be received or paid to terminate or settle the agreement, as applicable. Differences from carrying amounts are attributable to interest and or credit rate changes subsequent to when the transaction occurred. The values of marketable equity securities represent our investment in common stock that is classified as available for sale and is accounted for at fair value. The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, net, short-term borrowings, and accounts payable approximate the carrying amounts due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

We have outstanding financing and rental commitments totaling $1,036 million at September 30, 2009. Risks associated with changes in interest rates on these commitments are mitigated by the fact that interest rates are variable during the commitment term and are set at the date of funding based on current market conditions, the fair value of the underlying collateral and the credit worthiness of the customers. As a result, the fair value of these financings is expected to equal the amounts funded. The fair value of the commitment itself is not readily determinable and is not considered significant.

Effective January 1, 2009, we adopted the provisions under the Consolidation Topic of the FASB ASC as it relates to the accounting for noncontrolling interests in Consolidated Financial Statements. These provisions require that the carrying value of noncontrolling interests (previously referred to as minority interests) be removed from the mezzanine section of the balance sheet and reclassified as equity, and that consolidated net income be recast to include net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest. As a result of this adoption, we reclassified noncontrolling interests in the amounts of $1,009 million and $962 million from the mezzanine section to equity in the December 31, 2008 and September 30, 2008, balance sheets, respectively.

Consistent with the requirements under the Business Combinations Topic of the FASB ASC and the accounting for noncontrolling interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, changes in noncontrolling interests that do not result in a change of control and where there is a difference between fair value and carrying value are accounted for as equity transactions. A summary of these changes in ownership interests in subsidiaries and the effect on shareowners’ equity for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2009 is provided below:

 

(in millions of dollars)		Quarter Ended September 30, 2009				Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009
Net income attributable to common shareowners		$	1,058			$	2,756
Transfers to noncontrolling interests
Decrease in common stock for purchase of subsidiary shares			(37	)			(64	)
Change from net income attributable to common shareowners and transfers to noncontrolling interests		$	1,021			$	2,692

Note 10: Guarantees

We extend a variety of financial, market value and product performance guarantees to third parties. There have been no material changes to guarantees outstanding since December 31, 2008.

Note 11: Collaborative Arrangements

In view of the risks and costs associated with developing new engines, Pratt & Whitney has entered into certain collaboration arrangements in which costs, revenues and risks are shared. Revenues generated from engine programs, spare parts sales, and aftermarket business under collaboration arrangements are recorded as earned in our financial statements. Amounts attributable to our collaborative partners for their share of revenues are recorded as an expense in our financial statements based upon the terms and nature of the arrangement. Costs associated with engine programs under collaborative arrangements are expensed as incurred. Under these arrangements, collaborators contribute their program share of engine parts, incur their own production costs and make certain payments to Pratt & Whitney for shared or joint program costs. The reimbursement of the collaborator’s share of program costs is recorded as a reduction of the related expense item at that time. As of September 30, 2009, the collaborators’ interests in existing engine production programs ranged from 1 percent to 29 percent. Pratt & Whitney directs those programs and is the principal participant in all existing collaborative arrangements. There are no individually significant collaborative arrangements and none of the partners exceed 25 percent share in an individual program.

The following table illustrates the income statement classification and amounts attributable to transactions arising from the collaborative arrangements between participants for each period presented:

 

		Quarter Ended September 30,								Nine Months Ended September 30,
(in millions of dollars)		2009				2008				2009				2008
Collaborator share of revenues:
Cost of products sold		$	167			$	267			$	567			$	794
Cost of services sold			7				4				21				11
Collaborator share of program costs (reimbursement of expenses incurred):
Cost of products sold			(14	)			(20	)			(47	)			(63	)
Research and development			(14	)			(11	)			(46	)			(34	)
Selling, general and administrative			(1	)			(3	)			(4	)			(8	)

The Collaborative Arrangements Topic of the FASB ASC requires that participants in a collaborative arrangement report costs incurred and revenues generated from such transactions on a gross basis and in the appropriate line items in each company’s financial statements. This is pursuant to the guidance in the Revenue Recognition Topic of the FASB ASC that addresses whether an entity should report revenue gross or net depending on whether the entity functions as a principal or agent. The Collaborative Arrangements Topic also requires disclosure of the nature and purpose of the participant’s collaborative arrangements, the participant’s rights and obligations under these arrangements, the accounting policy for collaborative arrangements, the income statement classification and amounts attributable to transactions arising from collaboration arrangements between participants, and the disclosure related to individually significant collaborative arrangements. These requirements were effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years, and must be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented for all collaborative arrangements existing as of the effective date.

We adopted the provisions of the Collaborative Arrangements Topic as of January 1, 2009. As required, we have applied the provisions retrospectively for all periods presented. As a result, the collaborators’ share of revenues, which were previously reported on a net basis, are now reported on a gross basis. Certain reclassifications were made to the prior year amounts in both the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. In the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, accounts receivable and accounts payable were each increased by $368 million at December 31, 2008, in order to reflect the amounts owed to our collaborative partners for their share of revenues on a gross basis.

Note 12: Contingent Liabilities

Summarized below are the matters previously described in Note 15 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2008 Annual Report, incorporated by reference in our 2008 Form 10-K.

Environmental. Our operations are subject to environmental regulation by federal, state and local authorities in the United States and regulatory authorities with jurisdiction over our foreign operations.

We accrue for environmental investigatory, remediation, operating and maintenance costs 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, we accrue the minimum. For sites with multiple responsible parties, we consider our 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. We discount liabilities with fixed or reliably determinable future cash payments. We do not reduce accrued environmental liabilities by potential insurance reimbursements. We periodically reassess these accrued amounts. We believe that the likelihood of incurring losses materially in excess of amounts accrued is remote.

Government. We are now, and believe that in light of the current U.S. government contracting environment we will continue to be, the subject of one or more U.S. government investigations. If we or one of our business units were charged with wrongdoing as a result of any of these investigations or other government investigations (including violations of certain environmental or export laws) the U.S. government could suspend us from bidding on or receiving awards of new U.S. government contracts pending the completion of legal proceedings. If convicted or found liable, the U.S. government could fine and debar us from new U.S. government contracting for a period generally not to exceed three years. The U.S. government could void any contracts found to be tainted by fraud.

Our contracts with the U.S. government are also subject to audits. Like many defense contractors, we have 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. We have made voluntary refunds in those cases we believe appropriate and continue to litigate certain other cases. In addition, we accrue for liabilities associated with those matters that are probable and can be reasonably estimated. The most likely settlement amount to be incurred is accrued based upon a range of estimates. Where no amount within a range of estimates is more likely, then we accrue the minimum amount.

As previously disclosed, the Department of Justice (DOJ) sued us in 1999 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio, claiming that Pratt & Whitney violated the civil False Claims Act and common law. This lawsuit relates to the “Fighter Engine Competition” between Pratt & Whitney’s F100 engine and General Electric’s F110 engine. The DOJ alleges that the government overpaid for F100 engines under contracts awarded by the U.S. Air Force in fiscal years 1985 through 1990 because Pratt & Whitney inflated its estimated costs for some purchased parts and withheld data that would have revealed the overstatements. At trial of this matter, completed in December 2004, the government claimed Pratt & Whitney’s liability to be $624 million. On August 1, 2008, the trial court judge held that the Air Force had not suffered any actual damages because Pratt & Whitney had made significant price concessions. However, the trial court judge found that Pratt & Whitney violated the False Claims Act due to inaccurate statements contained in the 1983 offer. In the absence of actual damages, the trial court judge awarded the DOJ the maximum civil penalty of $7.09 million, or $10,000 for each of the 709 invoices Pratt & Whitney submitted in 1989 and later under the contracts. Both the DOJ

and UTC have appealed the decision. Should the government ultimately prevail, the outcome of this matter could result in a material effect on our results of operations in the period in which a liability would be recognized or cash flows for the period in which damages would be paid.

As previously disclosed, in December 2008, the Department of Defense (DOD) issued a contract claim against Sikorsky to recover overpayments the DOD alleges it has incurred since 2003 in connection with cost accounting changes approved by the DOD and implemented by Sikorsky in 1999 and 2006. These changes relate to the calculation of material overhead rates in government contracts. The DOD claimed that Sikorsky’s liability is approximately $80 million (including interest). We believe this claim is without merit and intend to appeal.

Other. We extend performance and operating cost guarantees beyond our normal warranty and service policies for extended periods on some of our products. We have accrued our estimate of the liability that may result under these guarantees and for service costs that are probable and can be reasonably estimated.

We have accrued for environmental investigatory, remediation, operating and maintenance costs, performance guarantees and other litigation and claims based on our estimate of the probable outcome of these matters. While it is possible that the outcome of these matters may differ from the recorded liability, we believe that resolution of these matters will not have a material impact on our competitive position, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

We also have other commitments and contingent liabilities related to legal proceedings, self insurance programs and matters arising out of the normal course of business. We accrue contingencies based upon a range of possible outcomes. If no amount within this range is a better estimate than any other, then we accrue the minimum amount.

Except as otherwise noted above, we do not believe that resolution of any of these matters will have a material adverse effect upon our competitive position, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

Note 13: Segment Financial Data

Our operations are classified into six principal segments: Otis, Carrier, UTC Fire & Security, Pratt & Whitney, Hamilton Sundstrand and Sikorsky. The segments are generally based on the management structure of the businesses and the grouping of similar operating companies, where each management organization has general operating autonomy over diversified products and services.

As discussed more fully in Note 11 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, as of January 1, 2009 the collaborators’ share of revenues, which were previously reported on a net basis, are now reported on a gross basis as required under the Collaborative Arrangements Topic of the FASB ASC. Prior period amounts include retrospective application of the accounting for Collaborative Arrangements.

Results for the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 are as follows:

Note 14: Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2008, the FASB issued additional guidance, which resides under the Compensation – Retirement Benefits Topic of the FASB ASC, on an employer’s disclosures about plan assets of a defined benefit pension or other postretirement plan on investment policies and strategies, major categories of plan assets, inputs and valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of plan assets and significant concentrations of risk within plan assets. This guidance will be effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009, with earlier application permitted. Upon initial application, the provisions of this guidance are not required for earlier periods that are presented for comparative purposes. We are currently evaluating the disclosure requirements of this guidance and anticipate that it will not have a significant impact on the reporting of our results of operations.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140” (SFAS 166). As of September 30, 2009, SFAS 166 has not been incorporated within the FASB ASC. SFAS 166 removes the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity and establishes a new “participating interest” definition that must be met for transfers of portions of financial assets to be eligible for sale accounting, clarifies and amends the derecognition criteria for a transfer to be accounted for as a sale, and changes the amount that can be recognized as a gain or loss on a transfer accounted for as a sale when beneficial interests are received by the transferor. Enhanced disclosures are also required to provide information about transfers of financial assets and a transferor’s continuing involvement with transferred financial assets. This statement must be applied as of the beginning of an entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. We are currently evaluating this new statement.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)” (SFAS 167). As of September 30, 2009, SFAS 167 has not been incorporated within the FASB ASC. SFAS 167 amends previous accounting related to the Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities to require an enterprise to qualitatively assess the determination of the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (VIE) based on whether the entity (1) has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and (2) has the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Also, SFAS 167 requires an ongoing reconsideration of the primary beneficiary, and amends the events that trigger a reassessment of whether an entity is a VIE. Enhanced disclosures are also required to provide information about an enterprise’s involvement in a VIE. This statement will be effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. We are currently evaluating this new statement.

In August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2009-05, “Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value.” This ASU clarifies the application of certain valuation techniques in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available and clarifies that when estimating the fair value of a liability, the fair value is not adjusted to reflect the impact of contractual restrictions that prevent its transfer. The guidance provided in this ASU becomes effective for us on October 1, 2009. We have evaluated this ASU and have determined there are no significant impacts to our financial position or results of operations.

In September 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-12, “Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent).” This ASU provides amendments for the fair value measurement of investments to create a practical expedient to measure the fair value of an investment in certain entities on the basis of the net asset value per share of the investment (or its equivalent) determined as of the reporting entity’s measurement date. Therefore, certain attributes of the investment (such as restrictions on redemption) and transaction prices from principal-to-principal or brokered transactions will not be considered in

measuring the fair value of the investment if the practical expedient is used. The amendment in this ASU also requires disclosures by major category of investment about the attributes of those investments, such as the nature of any restrictions on the investor’s ability to redeem its investments at measurement date, any unfunded commitments, and the investment strategies of the investees. The amendments in this ASU are effective for interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2009. Early application is permitted. We are currently evaluating this new ASU and anticipate that it will not have a significant impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-13, “Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements.” This ASU establishes the accounting and reporting guidance for arrangements including multiple revenue-generating activities. This ASU provides amendments to the criteria for separating deliverables, measuring and allocating arrangement consideration to one or more units of accounting. The amendments in this ASU also establish a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable. Significantly enhanced disclosures are also required to provide information about a vendor’s multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements, including information about the nature and terms, significant deliverables, and its performance within arrangements. The amendments also require providing information about the significant judgments made and changes to those judgments and about how the application of the relative selling-price method affects the timing or amount of revenue recognition. The amendments in this ASU are effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in the fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early application is permitted. We are currently evaluating this new ASU.

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-14, “Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements.” This ASU changes the accounting model for revenue arrangements that include both tangible products and software elements that are “essential to the functionality,” and scopes these products out of current software revenue guidance. The new guidance will include factors to help companies determine what software elements are considered “essential to the functionality.” The amendments will now subject software-enabled products to other revenue guidance and disclosure requirements, such as guidance surrounding revenue arrangements with multiple-deliverables. The amendments in this ASU are effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in the fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early application is permitted. We are currently evaluating this new ASU.

With respect to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial information of UTC for the quarters ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PricewaterhouseCoopers) reported that it has applied limited procedures in accordance with professional standards for a review of such information. However, its report dated October 23, 2009, appearing below, states that the firm did not audit and does not express an opinion on that unaudited condensed consolidated financial information. PricewaterhouseCoopers has not carried out any significant or additional audit tests beyond those that would have been necessary if their report had not been included. Accordingly, the degree of reliance on its 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 its report on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial information because that report is not a “report” or a “part” of a registration statement prepared or certified by PricewaterhouseCoopers within the meaning of Sections 7 and 11 of the Act.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareowners of United Technologies Corporation:

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets of United Technologies Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Corporation”) as of September 30, 2009, and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008. This interim financial information is the responsibility of the Corporation’s management.

We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), 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 condensed consolidated interim financial information for it to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As discussed in the Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial information, the Corporation changed the manner in which it discloses fair value, the manner in which the Corporation accounts for business combinations, noncontrolling interests, and collaborative arrangements and the manner in which it provides disclosures about derivatives and hedging activities, subsequent events, and fair value of financial instruments in 2009.

We previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, of cash flows and of changes in shareowners’ equity for the year then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated February 11, 2009 (which included an explanatory paragraph with respect to the Corporation’s change in the manner of accounting for defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans, uncertain tax positions and disclosures of fair value measurements), we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. As discussed in the Notes to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial information, the Corporation changed its method of accounting for noncontrolling interests and collaborative arrangements in 2009. The accompanying 2008 condensed consolidated financial information reflects this change.

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

We conduct our business through six principal segments: Otis, Carrier, UTC Fire & Security, Pratt & Whitney, Hamilton Sundstrand and Sikorsky. Otis, Carrier and UTC Fire & Security are collectively referred to as the “commercial businesses,” while Pratt & Whitney, Hamilton Sundstrand and Sikorsky are collectively referred to as the “aerospace businesses.” The current status of significant factors impacting our business environment in 2009 is discussed below. For additional discussion, refer to the “Business Overview” section in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our 2008 Annual Report, which is incorporated by reference in our 2008 Form 10-K. Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2008 amounts to conform to the current year presentation of noncontrolling interests and collaborative arrangements as required by the Consolidation Topic and Collaborative Arrangements Topic, respectively, of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (FASB ASC). See discussion in Notes 9 and 11, respectively, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

General

As worldwide businesses, our operations can be affected by global and regional industrial, economic and political factors. In order to limit the impact of any one industry or the economy of any single country on our consolidated operating results, our strategy has been, and continues to be, the maintenance of a balanced and diversified portfolio of businesses. Our businesses include both commercial and aerospace operations, original equipment manufacturing (OEM) businesses with extensive related aftermarket parts and services businesses, as well as shorter cycles in our commercial businesses, particularly Carrier, and longer cycles in our aerospace businesses. Our customers include companies in the private sector and governments, and our businesses reflect extensive geographic diversification that has evolved with the continued globalization of world economies.

The challenging and difficult end market environments in which our businesses have operated over the past year are showing signs of stabilization, although there is still considerable uncertainty as to the shape of the economic recovery. Asia’s emerging markets are showing some indications of recovery, particularly China, which has experienced increased bank lending as a result of significant government stimulus initiatives. In the U.S., both the financial and housing markets have shown signs of stability, but unemployment remains high and consumer spending is still weak. Although order rate declines for most of our businesses appear to have substantially stabilized, albeit at lower levels, with improvement noted at Otis and specifically in China, we are still operating in a difficult end market environment. Significant airline losses, weak airline traffic and business jet production, year-over-year declines in commercial construction activity and depressed conditions in the transport refrigeration industries as well as domestic and certain international housing markets have adversely impacted aspects of our underlying businesses during the first nine months of the year and are expected to continue to present challenges throughout the remainder of 2009.

As a result of the difficult end market environment, total revenues declined 11% in the third quarter of 2009, as compared to the same period in the prior year. This includes a decline in organic revenue (7%) and the adverse impact of foreign currency translation (3%). The reduction in organic revenue reflects declines in new equipment sales at Otis and lower volume across all businesses at Carrier, particularly the higher-margin transport refrigeration business. UTC Fire & Security’s organic revenue contraction reflects declines in both the fire safety and electronic security businesses. As a result of continued weakness in construction and general manufacturing markets, Hamilton Sundstrand’s industrial business saw organic revenue contraction year-over-year. Within the aerospace industry, weak airline traffic, the impact from capacity reductions, lower aircraft utilization and cash conservation measures at some airlines has resulted in a related decrease in commercial aerospace aftermarket volume at both Pratt & Whitney and Hamilton Sundstrand. Low demand for business and general aviation aircraft continues to adversely impact Pratt & Whitney Canada (P&WC) engine shipments in the quarter. Continued government military spending and demand for military helicopters favorably impacted Sikorsky, which experienced 15% revenue growth in the third quarter of 2009 compared to the same period of 2008.

The decline in revenue contributed to a consolidated operating profit decline of 14% in the third quarter of 2009, as compared with the same period of 2008. This year-over-year decline includes the adverse impacts of higher restructuring charges (7%), adverse foreign currency translation combined with the impact of currency hedges at P&WC (combined 5%), and net divestitures (1%). To help mitigate the impact of the global economic downturn and better position us for the future, we continue to focus on restructuring and cost reduction actions. During the third quarter of 2009, we incurred restructuring charges of $231 million for actions to help mitigate the volume declines and to reduce structural and overhead costs across all of our businesses. We now expect full year restructuring costs to total approximately $800 million, including the $695 million of charges incurred in the first nine months of 2009. However, no specific plans for significant other actions have been finalized at this time. In addition to savings from restructuring, we are seeing benefits from other cost reductions, in areas such as travel, furloughs, research and development and employee attrition. This continued focus on costs that are within our control, including restructuring, has resulted in approximately $950 million of discrete cost reductions in the first nine months of 2009.

The year-over-year general strength of the U.S. dollar against certain currencies such as the Euro generated an adverse foreign currency impact of $.07 per share on our operational performance in the third quarter of 2009. This year-over-year impact represents the adverse impact of hedging at P&WC net of the beneficial impact of foreign currency translation. The relative strength in the U.S. dollar benefits P&WC operating results, as the majority of P&WC’s revenues are denominated in U.S. dollars, while a significant portion of its costs are incurred in local currencies. However, this benefit was more than offset by the adverse impact on revenues of maturing hedges that were executed when the U.S. dollar was weaker.

Commercial Businesses

Our commercial businesses generally serve customers in the worldwide commercial and residential property industries, although Carrier also serves customers in the commercial and transport refrigeration industries. Revenues in the commercial businesses are influenced by a number of external factors including fluctuations in residential and commercial construction activity, regulatory changes, interest rates, labor costs, foreign currency exchange rates, customer attrition, raw material and energy costs, tightening credit markets and other global and political factors. Carrier’s financial performance can also be influenced by production and utilization of transport equipment, and for its residential business, weather conditions. To ensure adequate supply of Carrier products in the distribution channel, Carrier customarily offers its customers incentives to purchase products.

Weak underlying global economic conditions have continued to adversely impact the commercial businesses to varying degrees with the most significant effects experienced at Carrier. A stronger U.S. dollar as compared to the first nine months of 2008, weak commercial construction, and weak demand in end markets have all posed operating challenges. Conversely, the U.S. housing market is showing signs of stabilization. Year-over-year order rates in the third quarter of 2009 have largely stabilized, with some improvement in the rates of decline compared to those experienced in the first half of 2009.

Within the Otis segment, revenues decreased 12% in the first nine months of 2009 as compared to 2008, largely reflecting lower volume (5%) and the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation (8%). Difficult economic conditions have adversely impacted many commercial construction markets around the world resulting in a decline in new equipment sales. Cost reduction actions and continued strength in the contractual maintenance business, along with lower commodity prices, helped mitigate the new equipment volume decline. During the first nine months of 2009, new equipment orders decreased 36% as compared to the same period in 2008.

Weak market conditions continue to impact all businesses at Carrier, particularly the higher margin transport refrigeration business where revenues declined 35% in the third quarter of 2009 as compared to the same period of 2008. The challenging global economy continues to have an immediate impact on Carrier’s short cycle businesses, leading to a decline in organic revenue of 14% in the third quarter of 2009. In response to the difficult end market environment, Carrier continues to focus on implementing restructuring and other cost reduction initiatives to assist in mitigating the impact from the steep volume decline.

UTC Fire & Security experienced a 15% revenue decline in the third quarter of 2009, as compared to the same period of 2008. Organic revenue contraction (9%) contributed to the lower revenues with comparable declines in both the fire safety and electronic security businesses in the third quarter. UTC Fire & Security experienced particular weakness in the Americas and the United Kingdom as a result of the challenging economic conditions. The adverse impact of foreign currency translation (6%) contributed the remainder of the revenue decline year-over-year.

Aerospace Businesses

The aerospace businesses serve both commercial and government aerospace customers. In addition, elements of Pratt & Whitney and Hamilton Sundstrand also serve customers in the industrial markets. Revenue passenger miles (RPMs), U.S. government military and space spending, and the general economic health of airline carriers are all barometers for our aerospace businesses.

The global aerospace industry continues to confront weak global economic conditions and reduced air travel, imposing a difficult operating environment and resulting in significant losses for airlines. As a result, airframers have seen lower levels of orders for aircraft compared to 2008. Due to the weak demand for business and general aviation aircraft, as corporations cut back on discretionary spending, business jet OEMs have seen lower levels of orders. Accordingly, business jet OEMs have made downward revisions to their production schedules, resulting in additional pressure on P&WC. These factors have led to a 32% decrease in third quarter year-over-year engine shipments at P&WC. In an effort to combat the impact of the current economic environment, airlines have slashed ticket prices to lure travelers, reduced capacity by idling some aircraft, retired older and less fuel efficient aircraft, and have delayed orders and deliveries of new planes. Continued weak passenger and cargo traffic, capacity reductions, lower aircraft utilization, and cash conservation measures at some airlines have led to a corresponding decrease in commercial aerospace aftermarket volume at both Pratt & Whitney and Hamilton Sundstrand and, accordingly, consolidated commercial aerospace aftermarket revenue declined 14% for the first nine months of 2009 as compared to the same period of 2008.

Although the commercial aircraft market remains a challenge, higher military aircraft deliveries as a result of continued government spending drove a 15% increase in Sikorsky’s third quarter revenues as compared to the same period of 2008. With the robust government demand, Sikorsky’s military backlog remains very strong.

Acquisition Activity

Our growth strategy contemplates acquisitions. The rate and extent to which appropriate acquisition opportunities are available, acquired businesses are effectively integrated and anticipated synergies or cost savings are achieved, can affect our operations and results. During the first nine months of 2009, our investment in businesses was approximately $557 million. Investments in the third quarter of 2009 amounted to $360 million, primarily reflecting the acquisition of additional shares of GST Holdings Limited (GST), a fire alarm system provider in China. The acquisition of these additional shares in GST increased our share ownership from 29% to 99% and further strengthens UTC Fire & Security’s presence in the Chinese fire safety industry. The remainder of our investment in businesses for the first nine months of the year consisted of a number of small acquisitions in both our commercial and aerospace businesses. We recorded the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the assets acquired as an increase in goodwill. As a result of acquisition activity, goodwill increased approximately $ 531 million in the first nine months of 2009.

During the second quarter of 2009, Otis recorded a $52 million non-cash, non-taxable gain recognized on the remeasurement to fair value of a previously held equity interest in a joint venture as a result of the purchase of a controlling interest.

Carrier continues its path of aggressive transformation, to a simpler, more focused, higher returns business. In July 2009, Carrier and Watsco, Inc (Watsco) formed Carrier Enterprise, LLC, a venture to distribute Carrier, Bryant, Payne and Totaline residential and light commercial heating, ventilating and air-conditioning products in the U.S. Sunbelt region and selected territories in the Caribbean and Latin America. As part of the transaction, Carrier contributed its distribution businesses located in these regions into the new venture. In consideration of its contribution, Carrier received approximately 3 million shares of common stock of Watsco and a 40 percent noncontrolling interest in the new venture, which included a business contributed by Watsco. Watsco owns a 60 percent interest in the venture with options to purchase an additional 20 percent interest from Carrier in future years. Carrier recognized a gain of approximately $57 million in the third quarter of 2009 as a result of its contribution of the majority of its U.S. residential sales and distribution businesses into this new venture.

We continue to expect to invest approximately $2 billion in acquisitions for 2009, including those investments during the first nine months of 2009, although this will depend upon the timing, availability and appropriate value of acquisition opportunities.

Other

Government legislation, policies and regulations can have a negative impact on our worldwide operations. Government regulation of refrigerants and energy efficiency standards, elevator safety codes and fire protection regulations are important to our commercial businesses. Government and market-driven safety and performance regulations, restrictions on aircraft engine noise and emissions and government procurement practices can impact our aerospace and defense businesses.

Commercial airline financial distress/consolidation, global economic conditions, changes in raw material and commodity prices, interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and energy costs create uncertainties that could impact our earnings outlook for the remainder of 2009. See Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in this Form 10-Q for further discussion.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Preparation of our financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We believe the most complex and sensitive judgments, because of their significance to the Consolidated Financial Statements, result primarily from the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Management’s Discussion and Analysis and Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2008 Annual Report, incorporated by reference in our 2008 Form 10-K, describe the significant accounting estimates and policies used in preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements. Actual results in these areas could differ from management’s estimates. There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting estimates during the first nine months of 2009.

The 11% revenue decline in the third quarter of 2009, as compared to the same period of 2008, primarily reflects organic revenue contraction ( 7%) and the adverse impact from foreign currency translation (3%) resulting from the year-over-year strength of the U.S. dollar relative to currencies such as the Euro. As discussed above in the “Business Overview” section, the revenue contraction reflects decreases in all but our Sikorsky business, with particular weakness in our commercial businesses as a result of challenging global economic conditions. Depressed conditions in the business jet market has adversely impacted P&WC as it experienced a 32% decrease in engine shipments for the third quarter of 2009, as compared to the same period of 2008. Continued weak air traffic and cash conservation measures at some airlines have resulted in corresponding declines in aerospace aftermarket revenues, primarily at Pratt & Whitney and Hamilton Sundstrand. Also contributing to the year-over-year revenue decline is the adverse impact of maturing currency hedges at P&WC that were executed when the U.S. dollar was weaker.

The 14% revenue decline in the first nine months of 2009, as compared to the same period of 2008, reflects organic revenue contraction ( 8%), the adverse impact from foreign currency translation (5%) resulting from the year-over-year strength of the U.S. dollar relative to currencies such as the Euro and the impact of net acquisitions and divestitures (1%). As with the third quarter decline, the nine month revenue decline largely reflects decreases at most of our businesses as a result of challenging global economic conditions, with particular weakness in our commercial businesses, a decline in aerospace aftermarket revenues at both Pratt & Whitney and Hamilton Sundstrand and the adverse impact from a depressed business jet market. Similar to the third quarter of 2009, year to date revenues also reflect the adverse impact of maturing currency hedges at P&WC that were executed when the U.S. dollar was weaker.

Other income, net for the third quarter of 2009 includes a gain at Carrier of approximately $57 million as a result of a contribution of the majority of its U.S. residential sales and distribution businesses into a new venture and favorable pretax interest income adjustments of approximately $17 million related to global tax examination activity in the quarter. The favorable pretax interest income adjustments primarily relate to the completion of our review of the 2004 to 2005 Internal Revenue Service (IRS) audit report. The year-over-year change in other income, net of the above mentioned gains, primarily reflects lower hedging costs on our cash management activities partially offset by lower net year-over-year change in gains generated from business divestiture activity and lower interest income across the businesses. Other income, net in the third quarter of 2008, includes a $37 million non-cash gain recognized on the sale of a partial investment at Pratt & Whitney. The balance of other income is comprised of joint venture income, royalties, and other miscellaneous operating activities.

The increase in other income, net for the first nine months of 2009, as compared to the same period of the prior year, largely reflects a gain in the third quarter of 2009 at Carrier as result of the contribution of a majority of its U.S. residential sales and distribution businesses into a new venture and favorable pretax interest income adjustments, as noted above, as well as a $52 million gain recognized at Otis in the second quarter of 2009 on the remeasurement to fair value of an interest in a joint venture. Other income, net was also favorably impacted by lower hedging costs on our cash management activities. These increases in other income, net were largely offset by lower royalty and interest income across the businesses, lower net year-over-year gains on various fixed asset disposals, lower equity income at Carrier from a joint venture in Japan, lower net year-over-year gains generated from business divestiture activity, and higher costs related to miscellaneous operating activities.

Gross Margin

 

		Quarter Ended September 30,								Nine Months Ended September 30,
(in millions of dollars)		2009				2008				2009				2008
Gross margin		$	3,351			$	4,038			$	9,902			$	11,810
Percentage of sales			25.4	%			27.0	%			25.8	%			26.5	%

The 160 basis point decrease in gross margin as a percentage of sales in the third quarter of 2009 as compared to 2008 is net of the adverse impact of higher year-over-year restructuring charges (90 basis points). Gross margin was adversely impacted as a result of lower sales volumes, particularly in our higher margin aerospace aftermarket and transport refrigeration businesses as well as the adverse impact from deliveries of low margin international development aircraft at Sikorsky. These adverse impacts were partially offset by the continued focus on cost reduction, savings from previously initiated restructuring actions, and margin growth experienced at Otis from lower commodity prices and the continued shift toward higher margin contractual maintenance sales, which more than offset the impact from lower new equipment volume to account for the remaining decline in gross margin as a percentage of sales.

Table of Contents

For the first nine months of 2009, the year-over-year decrease in gross margin as a percentage of sales of 70 basis points primarily reflects higher year-over-year restructuring charges (70 basis points). Continued focus on cost reduction, savings from previously initiated restructuring actions, net operational efficiencies and margin growth experienced at Otis from lower commodity prices and the continued shift toward higher margin contractual maintenance sales offset the impact of lower sales volumes, particularly in our higher margin aerospace aftermarket and transport refrigeration businesses.

Research and Development

 

		Quarter Ended September 30,												Nine Months Ended September 30,
		2009						2008						2009						2008
(in millions of dollars)		Amount			% of sales			Amount			% of sales			Amount			% of sales			Amount			% of sales
Company-funded		$	344		2.6	%		$	436		2.9	%		$	1,137		3.0	%		$	1,281		2.9	%
Customer-funded			550		4.2	%			488		3.3	%			1,583		4.1	%			1,525		3.4	%
Total		$	894		6.8	%		$	924		6.2	%		$	2,720		7.1	%		$	2,806		6.3	%

The decrease in company-funded research and development in the third quarter of 2009 as well as the first nine months of the year, compared to the same period in 2008, primarily reflects declines at Pratt & Whitney and Hamilton Sundstrand. The decrease at Pratt & Whitney was largely driven by the timing of program development activities, while the decrease at Hamilton Sundstrand primarily reflects lower costs on the Boeing 787 program. Company-funded research and development spending for the full year 2009 is expected to decrease by approximately $175 million from 2008 levels as a result of shifts in the timing of program development activities, lower requirements on key development programs, and the continued focus on cost reduction. Company-funded research and development spending is subject to the variable nature of program development schedules.

The increase in customer-funded research and development in the third quarter of 2009, compared to the same period of 2008, largely relates to increases at both Hamilton Sundstrand and Sikorsky. The increase at Hamilton Sundstrand reflects higher spending on various commercial and space programs, while Sikorsky’s increase is primarily attributable to higher development spending on the CH-53K program. The increase in customer-funded research and development for the first nine months of 2009, compared to the same period of 2008, largely reflects increases at Hamilton Sundstrand on various commercial and space programs and at Sikorsky on higher development spending on the CH-53K program, partially offset by reduced effort at Pratt & Whitney on the Joint Strike Fighter development program as it nears completion.

Selling, General and Administrative

 

		Quarter Ended September 30,								Nine Months Ended September 30,
(in millions of dollars)		2009				2008				2009				2008
Selling, general and administrative expenses		$	1,424			$	1,665			$	4,481			$	5,075
Percentage of sales			10.8	%			11.1	%			11.7	%			11.4	%

The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses in the third quarter of 2009, as compared to the same period of 2008, is due primarily to a continued focus on cost reduction and the impact from restructuring and cost saving initiatives undertaken in 2008 and 2009 in anticipation of adverse economic conditions. As a percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 30 basis points. This decrease includes the adverse impact of higher restructuring costs (approximately 20 basis points) year-over-year, which was more than offset by the benefit from cost reduction actions in such areas as travel, furloughs and employee attrition, and the favorable impact of foreign exchange.

Similar to the third quarter of 2009, the decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses for the first nine months of 2009, as compared to the same period of 2008, is due primarily to a continued focus on cost reduction and the impact from restructuring and cost saving initiatives. As a percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses increased 30 basis points. This increase includes the adverse impact of higher restructuring costs (approximately 60 basis points) year-over-year, more than offset by the benefit from reduced overhead costs and the favorable impact of foreign exchange.

Interest Expense

 

		Quarter Ended September 30,								Nine Months Ended September 30,
(in millions of dollars)		2009				2008				2009				2008
Interest expense		$	170			$	177			$	522			$	518
Average interest rate			5.6	%			5.9	%			5.8	%			5.9	%

The decrease in interest expense in the third quarter of 2009 as compared to the same period of the prior year largely reflects the redemption in February 2009 of our $500 million of LIBOR+.07% floating rate notes due 2009 and the repayment in June 2009 of our $400 million of 6.500% notes due 2009 partially offset by the impact from the issuance of $1.25 billion of long-term debt in December 2008. Interest expense also reflects the lower cost associated with our commercial paper borrowings. The redemptions and repayments as well as the lower cost of borrowing noted above resulted in a decline in the average interest rate in the third quarter of 2009 as compared to the same period of the prior year.

The increase in interest expense for the first nine months of 2009 as compared to the same period of the prior year is primarily the result of the issuances of $1.25 billion and $1.0 billion of long-term debt in December and May 2008, respectively, both bearing interest at 6.125% partially offset by the absence of interest expense caused by the redemption in February 2009 of our $500 million of LIBOR+.07% floating rate notes due 2009 and the repayment in June 2009 of our $400 million of 6.500% notes due 2009. Interest expense also reflects the lower cost associated with our commercial paper borrowings.

Income Taxes

 

		Quarter Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
		2009			2008			2009			2008
Effective tax rate		28.5	%		26.8	%		27.2	%		27.9	%

The effective tax rate for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 has increased as compared to the same period of 2008 as a result of the tax effects of the Carrier and Watsco transaction and a $32 million adverse tax impact associated with a foreign reorganization, net of the reduction to tax expense relating to the re-evaluation of our tax liabilities and contingencies as described in Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 decreased as compared to the same period of 2008 as a result of the favorable tax impact of approximately $25 million in the first quarter of 2009 related to the formation of a commercial venture, and the non-taxability in the second quarter of 2009 of the gain Otis realized on its purchase of a controlling interest in a joint venture, partially offset by the net adverse impacts of the third quarter 2009 items noted above. The effective tax rate for the balance of the year is expected to be approximately 28% before the impact of any discrete events.

Net Income

 

		Quarter Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
(in millions of dollars, except per share amounts)		2009			2008			2009			2008
Net income		$	1,145		$	1,370		$	3,010		$	3,824
Less: Noncontrolling interest in subsidiaries’ earnings			87			101			254			280
Net income attributable to common shareowners		$	1,058		$	1,269		$	2,756		$	3,544
Diluted earnings per share		$	1.14		$	1.33		$	2.97		$	3.68

The general strength of the U.S. dollar against certain currencies, such as the Euro, in the first nine months of 2009 as compared to 2008, generated an adverse foreign currency impact on our operational results of $.07 and $.26 per share in the third quarter and first nine months of 2009, respectively. These impacts include the net impacts of both foreign currency translation and hedging at P&WC. In the third quarter of 2009, positive foreign currency translation at P&WC of $.02 per share was more than offset by the

Table of Contents

adverse impact of hedging. At P&WC, the strength of the U.S. dollar in the third quarter of 2009 generated positive foreign currency translation impact as the majority of P&WC’s revenues are denominated in U.S. dollars, while a significant portion of its costs are incurred in local currencies. To help mitigate the volatility of foreign currency exchange rates on our operating results, we maintain foreign currency hedging programs, the majority of which are entered into by P&WC. Due to the significant revenue growth at P&WC over the past few years, as well as the dramatic increase in the strength of the Canadian dollar to the U.S. dollar in early 2008, the hedges previously entered into generated an adverse foreign exchange impact as the U.S. dollar strengthened. As a result of hedging programs currently in place, P&WC’s 2009 full year operating results are now expected to include the adverse impact of foreign currency translation, net of hedging, of approximately $125 million. For additional discussion of hedging, refer to Note 8 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of 2009 and first nine months of the year were favorably impacted by approximately $.02 and $.05 per share, respectively, as a result of the shares repurchased since October 1, 2008 under our share repurchase program.

Restructuring and Related Costs

During the first nine months of 2009, we recorded pre-tax restructuring and related charges totaling $695 million for new and ongoing restructuring actions as follows:

 

(in millions of dollars)
Otis		$	131
Carrier			139
UTC Fire & Security			107
Pratt & Whitney			177
Hamilton Sundstrand			69
Sikorsky			7
Eliminations and other			62
General corporate expenses			3
Total		$	695

The charges included $361 million in cost of sales, $311 million in selling, general and administrative expenses and $23 million in other income and, as described below, primarily relate to actions initiated during 2009 and 2008. Restructuring costs reflected in Eliminations and other primarily reflect the costs associated with the curtailment of our domestic pension plans.

2009 Actions. During the first nine months of 2009, we initiated restructuring actions relating to ongoing cost reduction efforts, including workforce reductions, the consolidation of field operations and the consolidation of repair and overhaul operations. We recorded net pre-tax restructuring and related charges totaling $667 million as follows: Otis $130 million, Carrier $129 million, UTC Fire & Security $100 million, Pratt & Whitney $165 million, Hamilton Sundstrand $70 million, Sikorsky $7 million, Eliminations and other $63 million and General corporate expenses $3 million. The charges included $335 million in cost of sales, $310 million in selling, general and administrative expenses and $22 million in other income. Those costs included $595 million for severance and related employee termination costs, $45 million for asset write-downs and $27 million for facility exit and lease termination costs.

We expect the 2009 actions that were initiated in the first nine months to result in net workforce reductions of approximately 13,000 hourly and salaried employees, the exiting of approximately 4.3 million net square feet of facilities and the disposal of assets associated with the exited facilities. As of September 30, 2009, we have completed net workforce reductions of approximately 9,200 employees. We are targeting the majority of the remaining workforce and all facility related cost reduction actions for completion during 2010 and 2011. Approximately 65% of the total pre-tax charge will require cash payments, which we will fund with cash generated from operations. During the first nine months of 2009, we had cash outflows of approximately $215 million related to the 2009 actions. We expect to incur additional restructuring and related charges of $141 million to complete these actions. We expect recurring pre-tax savings to increase over the two-year period subsequent to initiating the actions to approximately $640 million annually.

On September 21, 2009, Pratt & Whitney announced plans to close a repair facility and an engine overhaul facility in Connecticut. For additional information concerning litigation related to Pratt & Whitney’s decision to close these two facilities, see Part II, Item 1, “Legal Proceedings” in this Form 10-Q.

2008 Actions. During the first nine months of 2009, we recorded net pre-tax restructuring and related charges and reversals of $26 million for actions initiated in 2008. The 2008 actions relate to ongoing cost reduction efforts, including selling, general and administrative reductions and the consolidation of manufacturing facilities. We recorded the charges (reversals) for the first nine months of 2009 as follows: Otis $1 million, Carrier $10 million, UTC Fire & Security $7 million, Pratt & Whitney $12 million,

Table of Contents

Hamilton Sundstrand ($3 million) and Eliminations and other ($1 million). The charges and reversals included $24 million in cost of sales, $1 million in selling, general and administrative expenses and $1 million in other income. Those costs and reversals included $11 million for severance and related employee termination costs, $1 million for asset write-downs and $14 million for facility exit and lease termination costs.

We expect the 2008 actions to result in net workforce reductions of approximately 6,200 hourly and salaried employees, the exiting of approximately 1.2 million net square feet of facilities and the disposal of assets associated with the exited facilities. As of September 30, 2009, we have completed net workforce reductions of approximately 5,000 employees and exited 200,000 net square feet of facilities. We are targeting the majority of the remaining workforce and all facility related cost reduction actions for completion during 2009 and 2010. Approximately 65% of the total pre-tax charge will require cash payments, which we will fund with cash generated from operations. During the first nine months of 2009, we had cash outflows of approximately $110 million related to the 2008 actions. We expect to incur additional restructuring and related charges of $13 million to complete these actions. We expect recurring pre-tax savings to increase over the two-year period subsequent to initiating the actions to approximately $400 million annually.

Additional 2009 Actions. We expect to initiate additional restructuring actions during the remainder of 2009 related to the current global economic downturn. Including trailing costs from previously announced restructuring actions, we now expect full year 2009 restructuring cost to total approximately $800 million, including the $695 million of charges incurred in the first nine months of 2009. These actions are expected to result in global employment reductions, in primarily overhead and selling, general and administrative functions of approximately 14,000, including those completed through September 2009; however, except for those actions described above and similar actions announced in October 2009, no specific plans for significant other actions have been finalized at this time.

Segment Review

Segments are generally based on the management structure of the businesses and the grouping of similar operating companies, where each management organization has general operating autonomy over diversified products and services. Adjustments to reconcile segment reporting to the consolidated results for the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 are included in “Eliminations and other” below, which also includes certain small subsidiaries.

As discussed more fully in Note 11 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, as of January 1, 2009 the collaborators’ share of revenues, which were previously reported on a net basis, are now reported on a gross basis as required under the Collaborative Arrangements Topic of the FASB ASC. Accordingly, revenues were increased by the collaborators’ share of revenues with an offsetting increase to cost of sales. Prior period amounts include retroactive application of the Collaborative Arrangements Topic.

Results for the quarters ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 are as follows:

 

		Revenues								Operating Profits								Operating Profit Margins

Revenues decreased $283 million (9%) and $1,127 million (12%) in the third quarter and first nine months of 2009, respectively, compared with the same periods of the prior year. The organic revenue decline in both the third quarter and the first nine months of 2009 was due to a decrease in new equipment sales as difficult economic conditions have adversely impacted global commercial construction.

Operating profits decreased $15 million (2%) and $129 million (7%) in the third quarter and first nine months of 2009, respectively, compared with the same periods of the prior year. Operational profit improvement (9% and 6%, for the third quarter and first nine months of 2009, respectively) was driven by cost reduction strategies, lower commodity costs and continued strength in contractual maintenance that helped mitigate the impact of lower new equipment volume. The 2% increase contributed by “Other” in the first nine months of 2009, as compared to the same period of the prior year, primarily reflects the favorable impact of a gain recognized in the second quarter of 2009 on the remeasurement to fair value of a previously held equity interest in a joint venture as a result of the purchase of a controlling interest.

Revenues decreased $910 million (23%) in the third quarter of 2009 compared with the same period of the prior year. The decline in organic revenue was a result of continued weak market conditions across all businesses, particularly the higher margin transport refrigeration business. The decrease contributed by “Acquisitions and divestitures, net” in the third quarter of 2009 reflects the net year-over-year impact from acquisitions and divestitures completed in the preceding twelve months, including the transaction in the third quarter of 2009 with Watsco, Inc. The 2% increase contributed by “Other” reflects a gain recognized from the contribution of the majority of the U.S. residential sales and distribution business into a new venture formed with Watsco, Inc. For the first nine months of 2009, revenues decreased $3,088 million (26%) compared with the same period of 2008. The decline in organic revenues is a result of continued weak market conditions across all businesses, particularly transport refrigeration. The 1% increase contributed by “Other” reflects a gain recognized from the contribution of the majority of the U.S. residential sales and distribution business into a new venture formed with Watsco, Inc.

Operating profits decreased $109 million (26%) in the third quarter of 2009 compared with the same period of the prior year, as most of the businesses experienced earnings declines due to unfavorable market conditions. The operational profit decline in the third quarter was primarily due to the volume decline (43%), especially in our higher margin businesses, partially offset by lower net operating costs and the benefits from restructuring actions (net combined 17%). The decrease contributed by “Acquisitions and divestitures, net” in the third quarter of 2009 reflects the net year-over-year impact from acquisitions and divestitures completed in the preceding twelve months, including the transaction in the third quarter of 2009 with Watsco, Inc. The 11% increase contributed by “Other” primarily reflects a gain recognized from the contribution of the majority of the U.S. residential sales and distribution business into a new venture formed with Watsco, Inc. For the first nine months of 2009, operating profits decreased $562 million (49%) compared with the same period of the prior year as all businesses experienced earnings declines due to unfavorable market conditions. The operational profit decrease was primarily due to the volume decline (55%), especially in our higher margin businesses, the adverse cost impact from worldwide currency shifts (7%), and lower equity income from a joint venture in Japan (2%). These adverse impacts were partially offset by the favorable impact from cost reduction and restructuring actions, lower commodity costs and favorable pricing (net combined 22%). The 3% increase contributed by “Other” primarily reflects a gain recognized from the contribution of the majority of the U.S. residential sales and distribution business into a new venture formed with Watsco, Inc.

Revenues decreased $241 million (15%) and $961 million (19%) in the third quarter and first nine months of 2009, respectively, compared with the same periods of the prior year. Organically, the revenue contraction in both the third quarter and first nine months of 2009, was driven by declines in both the fire safety and electronic security businesses. Geographically, particular weakness was experienced in both the Americas and the United Kingdom in the third quarter and first nine months of the year as a result of weak economic conditions.

Operating profits decreased $5 million (3%) and $98 million (25%) in the third quarter and first nine months of 2009, respectively, compared with the same period of the prior year. The operational profit improvement (7%) in the third quarter and first nine months of 2009 reflects the benefits from integration of field operations, previous restructuring actions, and continuing productivity and cost control initiatives which more than offset the impact of the lower revenues. The increase contributed by “Acquisitions and divestitures, net” in the third quarter of 2009 reflects the net year-over-year impact from acquisition and divestitures completed in the preceding twelve months, including the third quarter of 2009 acquisition of additional shares of GST, a fire alarm system provider in China.

As discussed further in the “Business Overview” and “Results of Operations” sections of Management’s Discussion and Analysis, for Pratt & Whitney only, the transactional impact of foreign exchange hedging at P&WC has been netted against the translational foreign exchange impact for presentation purposes in the above table. For all other segments, these foreign exchange

transactional impacts are included within the organic revenue/operational operating profit caption in their respective tables. Due to its significance to Pratt & Whitney’s overall operating results, we believe it is useful to segregate the foreign exchange transactional impact in order to clearly identify the underlying financial performance.

Revenues decreased $390 million (11%) in the third quarter of 2009 compared with the same period of the prior year. The decrease in revenues primarily reflects lower volume at both P&WC (7%) and the large commercial engine business (2%). These declines are primarily attributable to both decreased engine shipments and lower aftermarket volume. For the first nine months of 2009, revenues decreased $1,132 million (11%) compared with the same period of the prior year. The decrease in revenues primarily reflects lower volume at both P&WC (4%) and the large commercial engine business (3%). Similar to the third quarter of 2009, these declines are primarily attributable to both decreased engine shipments and lower aftermarket volume.

Operating profits decreased $86 million (16%) in the third quarter of 2009 compared with the same period of the prior year. The operational profit decline (4%) was primarily driven by a decrease in operating profits associated with lower volumes at both the large commercial engine business (11%), and at P&WC (7%), partially offset by the favorable impact of lower research and development expenses (8%) and the net beneficial impact of terminating or otherwise settling certain contracts, partially offset by provisions established for an ongoing contractual dispute (net 5%). The 4% decrease contributed by “Other” reflects the net year-over-year change in gains recognized on the sale of partial investments. For the first nine months of 2009, operating profits decreased $255 million (16%) compared with the same period of the prior year. The operational profit decline (4%) was primarily driven by a decrease in operating profits associated with lower volumes at both the large commercial engine business (8%) and at P&WC (2%), partially offset by the favorable impact of lower research and development expenses (5%) and the net beneficial impact of terminating or otherwise settling certain contracts partially offset by the provisions established for an ongoing contractual dispute (net 2%).

Revenues decreased $132 million (9%) and $460 million (10%) in the third quarter and first nine months of 2009, respectively, compared with the same periods of the prior year. The organic revenue decline in the third quarter of 2009 was principally due to lower organic volume in both the industrial businesses (5%) and aerospace businesses (4%). The organic revenue contraction within aerospace reflects declines in aftermarket volume (3%) and OEM (1%). For the first nine months of 2009, the organic revenue decline reflects lower organic volume in the industrial businesses (5%) and aerospace businesses (1%). Within the aerospace businesses, a decline in aftermarket (3%) was largely offset by an increase in OEM (2%).

Operating profits decreased $39 million (14%) and $169 million (21%) in the third quarter and first nine months of 2009, respectively, compared with the same periods of the prior year. The decline in operational profit in the third quarter of 2009 reflects a decrease in the aerospace businesses (12%) and industrial businesses (4%). Within aerospace, the decrease was primarily attributable to lower aftermarket (13%), partially offset by an increase in OEM. An OEM operating profit decrease (10%) was more than offset by lower year-over-year research and development costs (11%). The 7% increase contributed by “Other” primarily reflects a gain on the sale of a business (5%). For the first nine months of 2009, the decline in operational profit reflects a decrease in the aerospace businesses (7%) and industrial businesses (5%). Within aerospace, a decrease in aftermarket (14%) was partially offset by an increase in OEM (7%), driven by lower year-over-year research and development costs (4%). The 2% increase contributed by “Other” reflects a gain in 2009 on the sale of a business.

Revenues increased $210 million (15%) in the third quarter of 2009, compared with the same period of the prior year. The organic revenue increase was primarily driven by higher volumes of military aircraft shipments, foreign military sales and favorable aircraft configurations (combined 18%). A decline in commercial aircraft revenues (6%) was partially offset by an increase in customer funded development program support and revenue from aftermarket support (combined 3%) to account for the remaining year-over-year change. For the first nine months of 2009, revenues increased $603 million (16%) compared with the same period of the prior year. The organic revenue increase was primarily driven by higher volumes of military aircraft shipments, foreign military sales as well as favorable aircraft configurations (combined 18%), partially offset by reduced commercial aircraft revenues (3%) to account for the majority of the remaining year-over-year change.

Operating profits increased $24 million (18%) in the third quarter of 2009 as compared with the same period of the prior year. This improvement was primarily attributable to reduced operating expenses (10%) driven by various cost-savings initiatives, and increased aircraft deliveries (8%). For the first nine months of 2009, operating profits increased $80 million (25%) compared with the same period of the prior year. The operational profit improvement (36%) was primarily attributable to increased aircraft deliveries (38%). The remainder of the operational profit change primarily reflects an unfavorable mix in our aftermarket business partially offset by reduced selling, general and administrative costs due to various cost saving initiatives. The 9% decrease contributed by “Other” primarily reflects the adverse impact associated with a new union contract.

Eliminations and other – The increased costs in Eliminations and other for both the third quarter and first nine months of 2009, as compared to the same periods of the prior year, primarily reflects the adverse impact of restructuring costs related to the curtailment of our domestic pension plans ($59 million). Lower hedging costs on our cash management activities as well as favorable interest adjustments related to global tax examination activity were more than offset by increased inventory reserves and project related reserves recorded at UTC Power to account for the remaining year-over-year change.

General corporate expenses – The decrease in General corporate expenses for both the third quarter and first nine months of 2009, as compared to the same periods of the prior year, reflect lower corporate general and administrative spending across all cost categories as a result our cost reduction efforts initiated in light of the current economic environment.

Effective January 1, 2009, as required under the Consolidation Topic of the FASB ASC as it relates to the accounting for noncontrolling interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, the carrying value of noncontrolling interests (previously referred to as minority interests) were removed from the mezzanine section of the balance sheet and reclassified as equity for all periods presented. As a result of this adoption, we reclassified noncontrolling interests in the amounts of $1,009 million and $962 million from the mezzanine section to equity in the December 31, 2008 and September 30, 2008 balance sheets, respectively.

We assess our liquidity in terms of our ability to generate cash to fund our operating, investing and financing activities. Our principal source of liquidity is operating cash flows, which, after netting out capital expenditures, we target to equal or exceed net income attributable to common shareowners. In addition to operating cash flows, other significant factors that affect our overall management of liquidity include: capital expenditures, customer financing requirements, investments in businesses, dividends, common stock repurchases, pension funding, access to the commercial paper markets, adequacy of available bank lines of credit, and the ability to attract long-term capital at satisfactory terms.

Recent distress in the financial markets has had an adverse impact on financial market activities including, among other things, extreme volatility in security prices, severely diminished liquidity and credit availability, rating downgrades of certain investments and declining valuations of others. We have assessed the implications of these factors on our current business, are closely monitoring the impact on our customers and suppliers, and have determined that while there has been some impact to working capital, overall there has not been a significant effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity during the first nine months of 2009. Our pension plans have not experienced any significant impact on liquidity or counterparty exposure due to the volatility in the credit markets. However, as a result of losses experienced in the global equity markets, our domestic pension funds experienced a negative return on assets of approximately 27% in 2008. This negative return on our domestic plan in 2008, combined with a change in discount rate will increase pension costs by approximately $225 million in 2009 as compared to 2008. For the first nine months of 2009, our domestic pension funds produced an 18% positive return on assets, in contrast to the negative return on assets experienced for the full year of 2008.

Approximately 89% of our domestic pension plans are invested in readily-liquid investments, including equity, fixed income, asset-backed receivables and structured products. The balance of our domestic pension plans (11%) is invested in less-liquid but market-valued investments, including real estate and private equity.

As discussed further below, our strong debt ratings and financial position have historically enabled us to issue long-term debt at favorable market rates, including the $1.0 billion of long-term debt issuance in May 2008 and $1.25 billion of long-term debt issuance in December 2008. Also, in February 2009, we redeemed the entire $500 million outstanding principal amount of our LIBOR+.07% floating rate notes that were due June 1, 2009 at a redemption price in U.S. dollars equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus interest accrued, and on June 1, 2009, we repaid our $400 million of 6.500% notes due 2009 which matured on the same date.

Our ability to obtain debt financing at comparable risk-based interest rates is partly a function of our existing cash-flow-to-debt and debt-to-capitalization levels as well as our current credit standing. Our credit ratings are reviewed regularly by major debt rating agencies such as Standard and Poor’s, Moody’s Investors Service and Fitch Ratings. In published reports from August and March of 2009, Standard and Poor’s affirmed our short-term debt rating as A-1 and our long-term debt rating as A, respectively. Similarly, in February 2009, Moody’s Investors Service also affirmed its corporate rating on our long-term debt rating as A2, and in November 2008 affirmed our short-term debt rating as P-1. Fitch Ratings also published data in June 2009, affirming UTC’s short-term debt rating as F1 and our long-term debt rating as A+. We continue to have access to the commercial paper markets and our existing credit facilities, and expect to continue to generate strong operating cash flows. While the impact of continued market volatility cannot be predicted, we believe we have sufficient operating flexibility, cash reserves and funding sources to maintain adequate amounts of liquidity and to meet our future operating cash needs.

Most of our cash is denominated in foreign currencies. We manage our worldwide cash requirements by considering available funds among the many subsidiaries through which we conduct our business and the cost effectiveness with which those funds can be accessed. The repatriation of cash balances from certain of our subsidiaries could have adverse tax consequences; however, those balances are generally available without legal restrictions to fund ordinary business operations. We will continue to transfer cash from those subsidiaries to UTC and to other international subsidiaries when it is cost effective to do so.

On occasion, we are required to maintain cash deposits with certain banks in respect to contractual obligations related to acquisitions or divestitures or other legal obligations. As of September 30, 2009, $79 million of restricted cash is reported in current assets and $3 million is reported in other assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Restricted cash as of September 30, 2008 was not significant.

Table of Contents

The decrease in cash generated from operating activities in the first nine months of 2009 as compared with the same period in 2008, is due largely to the decline in net income attributable to common shareowners, as a result of lower volumes, and the $633 million of contributions to our global defined benefit pension plans made in the first nine months of 2009. However, a focus on working capital during the second and third quarters of 2009 helped to offset these declines. During the first nine months of 2009 working capital was a source of cash of $284 million compared to a cash outflow of $690 million during the first nine months of 2008, a year-over-year net benefit of $974 million. This year-over-year improvement in working capital was largely attributable to approximately $145 million reduction in inventory in the first nine months of 2009 as compared to an approximately $1.1 billion increase in inventory for the same period of the prior year, primarily driven by a year-over-year decrease at Carrier of approximately $550 million. The improvement in inventory was partially offset by lower customer advances of approximately $360 million at Sikorsky year-over-year. The impact of lower volume and improved collections of accounts receivable was effectively offset by the corresponding reduction to accounts payable stemming from the lower volumes.

The funded status of our pension plans is dependent upon many factors, including returns on invested assets and the level of market interest rates. We can contribute cash or company stock to our plans at our discretion. We made $633 million of cash contributions to our global defined benefit pension plans in the first nine months of 2009. We expect full year contributions of at least $750 million to our global pension plans during the year including the $551 million contributed to our domestic plans in the first nine months of 2009. Expected contributions to our defined pension plans in 2009 will meet or exceed the current funding requirements.

Cash Flow - Investing Activities

 

		Nine Months Ended September 30,
(in millions of dollars)		2009				2008
Net cash flows used by investing activities		$	(731	)		$	(1,190	)

The decrease in the net use of cash flows year-over-year in investing activities is largely a result of a decrease in our capital expenditures of $309 million and a decrease of $151 million in acquisitions activity in the first nine months of 2009 as compared to the first nine months of 2008. Capital expenditures have been curtailed across the businesses in line with the volume reductions. For the full year, capital expenditures are expected to decrease approximately 30 percent from 2008 levels. Customer financing activities was a net use of cash of $36 million for the first nine months of 2009, compared to a net use of cash of $98 million for the same period in 2008. While we expect that 2009 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. We may also arrange for third-party investors to assume a portion of our commitments. We had financing and rental commitments of approximately $1,036 million and $1,142 million related to commercial aircraft at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, of which as much as $72 million may be required to be disbursed during 2009. Acquisition activity in the first nine months of 2009 was $557 million, compared to $708 million for the same period in 2008. Investments in businesses in the third quarter of 2009 amounted to $360 million, primarily reflecting the acquisition of additional shares in GST Holdings Limited (GST), a fire alarm system provider in China. The acquisition of these additional shares in GST was partially funded from previously reported restricted cash. The remainder of our net acquisition activity for the first nine months of 2009 and 2008 consisted of a number of small purchases and divestitures both in the commercial and aerospace businesses in both years. We expect total investments in businesses in 2009 to approximate $2 billion, including acquisitions announced during the first nine months of 2009; however, actual acquisition spending may vary depending upon the timing and availability of acquisition opportunities.

At September 30, 2009, we had two committed credit agreements from banks permitting aggregate borrowings of up to $2.5 billion. One credit commitment is a $1.5 billion revolving credit agreement. As of September 30, 2009, there were no borrowings under this revolving credit agreement, which expires in October 2011. We also have a $1.0 billion multicurrency revolving credit agreement that is available for general funding purposes, including acquisitions. During the first nine months of 2009, we repaid approximately $460 million which had been borrowed under the multicurrency revolving credit agreement as of December 31, 2008. As of September 30, 2009, there were no borrowings under this revolving credit agreement, which expires in November 2011. The

undrawn portions of both the $1.5 billion revolving credit agreement and $1.0 billion multicurrency revolving credit agreement are also available to serve as backup facilities for the issuance of commercial paper. During the third quarter of 2009, we repaid approximately $856 million of the commercial paper which was outstanding as of June 30, 2009. We had approximately $592 million of commercial paper outstanding at September 30, 2009, all of which was scheduled to mature within one month.

In February 2009, we redeemed the entire $500 million outstanding principal amount of our LIBOR+.07% floating rate notes that were due June 1, 2009 at a redemption price in U.S. dollars equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus interest accrued. On June 1, 2009, we repaid our $400 million of 6.500% notes due 2009 which matured on the same date.

We repurchased $780 million of common stock in the first nine months of 2009, under an existing 60 million share repurchase program. Share repurchase in the first nine months of 2009 represents approximately 14 million shares. At September 30, 2009, approximately 14 million shares remain available for repurchase under the program. We expect total share repurchases in 2009 to be approximately $1 billion and expect the total number of outstanding shares to decrease during the year. However, total repurchases may vary depending upon the level of other investing activities. The share repurchase program continues to be a significant use of our cash flows and, at a minimum, is expected to offset the dilutive effect of the issuance of stock and options under stock-based employee benefit programs. We paid dividends of $0.385 per share in the first quarter of 2009 totaling $339 million, $0.385 per share in the second quarter of 2009 totaling $340 million and $0.385 per share in the third quarter of 2009 totaling $339 million. On October 14, 2009, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.385 per share payable December 10, 2009.

We have an existing universal shelf registration statement filed with the SEC for an indeterminate amount of securities for future issuance, subject to our internal limitations on the amount of debt to be issued under this shelf registration statement.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

In our 2008 Annual Report, incorporated by reference in our 2008 Form 10-K, we disclosed our off-balance sheet arrangements and contractual obligations. At September 30, 2009, there have been no material changes to these off-balance sheet arrangements and contractual obligations outside the ordinary course of business except as disclosed above.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There has been no significant change in our exposure to market risk during the first nine months of 2009. For discussion of our exposure to market risk, refer to Part II, Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” contained in our 2008 Form 10-K.

 

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act), we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO), the Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), and the Vice President, Controller (Controller), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2009. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based upon our evaluation, our CEO, our CFO, and our Controller have concluded that, as of September 30, 2009, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms, and that it is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO, our CFO, and our Controller, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2009 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings

On September 21, 2009, Pratt & Whitney announced plans to close its Connecticut Airfoil Repair Operations facility in East Hartford, Connecticut by the second quarter of 2010 and its engine overhaul facility in Cheshire, Connecticut by early 2011. On September 22, 2009, the International Association of Machinists (IAM) filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Hartford, Connecticut alleging that Pratt & Whitney’s decision to close these facilities and transfer certain work to facilities outside Connecticut breached the terms of its collective bargaining agreement with the IAM, and seeking to enjoin Pratt & Whitney from moving the work for the duration of the current collective bargaining agreement. Pratt & Whitney believes that it has fully complied with the collective bargaining agreement and that the IAM’s contentions are without merit. Trial is currently scheduled to begin December 14, 2009, and a decision is anticipated by early 2010. Pratt & Whitney has recorded $51 million of restructuring costs associated with these planned closures. We do not believe that resolution of this matter will have a material adverse effect upon our competitive position, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

Except as noted above, there have been no material developments in legal proceedings. For a description of previously reported legal proceedings refer to Part I, Item 3, “Legal Proceedings,” of our 2008 Form 10-K, and Part II, Item 1 of our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2009.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows can be impacted by a number of factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth below, any one of which could cause our actual results to vary materially from recent results or from our anticipated future results. For a discussion identifying additional risk factors and important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated, see the discussion in the “Business” section under the headings “Other Matters Relating to Our Business as a Whole” and “Cautionary Note Concerning Factors That May Affect Future Results” in our 2008 Form 10-K, in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in our 2008 Annual Report, and in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” in this Form 10-Q.

Our Global Growth is Subject to a Number of Economic Risks

As widely reported, financial markets in the United States, Europe and Asia have been experiencing extreme disruption, including significant distress of financial institutions, extreme volatility in security prices, severely diminished liquidity and credit availability, rating downgrades of certain investments and declining valuations of others. Governments have taken unprecedented actions intended to address extreme financial and market conditions that include severely restricted credit and declines in real estate values. While currently these conditions have not impaired our ability to access credit markets and finance our operations, there can be no assurance that there will not be a further deterioration in financial markets and confidence in major economies. These economic developments affect businesses such as ours in a number of ways. The tightening of credit in financial markets adversely affects the ability of our customers and suppliers to obtain financing for significant purchases and operations and could result in a decrease in or cancellation of orders for our products and services as well as impact the ability of our customers to make payments. Similarly, this tightening of credit may adversely affect our supplier base and increase the potential for one or more of our suppliers to experience financial distress or bankruptcy. Our global business is also adversely affected by decreases in the general level of economic activity, such as decreases in business and consumer spending, air travel, construction activity, the financial strength of airline customers and business jet operators, and government procurement. Strengthening of the rate of exchange for the U.S. Dollar against certain major currencies such as the Euro, the Canadian Dollar and other currencies also adversely affects our results. We are unable to predict the likely duration and severity of disruption in financial markets and adverse economic conditions in the U.S. and other countries.

Our Financial Performance Is Dependent on the Conditions of the Construction and Aerospace Industries

The results of our commercial and industrial businesses, which generated approximately 61% of our consolidated revenues in 2008, are influenced by a number of external factors including fluctuations in residential and commercial construction activity, regulatory changes, interest rates, labor costs, foreign currency exchange rates, customer attrition, raw material and energy costs, the tightening of the U.S. credit markets and other global and political factors. In addition to these factors, Carrier’s financial performance can also be influenced by production and utilization of transport equipment and, in its residential business, weather conditions.

Table of Contents

The results of our commercial and military aerospace businesses, which generated approximately 39% of our consolidated revenues in 2008, are directly tied to the economic conditions in the commercial aviation and defense industries, which are cyclical in nature. The challenging operating environment currently faced by commercial airlines is expected to continue. As a result, financial difficulties, including bankruptcy, of one or more of the major commercial airlines could result in significant cancellations of orders, reductions in our aerospace revenues and losses under existing contracts. In addition, capital spending and demand for aircraft engine and component aftermarket parts and service by commercial airlines, aircraft operators and aircraft manufacturers are influenced by a wide variety of factors, including current and predicted traffic levels, load factors, aircraft fuel pricing, labor issues, worldwide airline profits, airline consolidation, competition, the retirement of older aircraft, regulatory changes, terrorism and related safety concerns, general economic conditions, corporate profitability, and backlog levels, all of which could reduce both the demand for air travel and the aftermarket sales and margins of our aerospace businesses. Future terrorist actions or pandemic health issues could dramatically reduce both the demand for air travel and our aerospace businesses aftermarket sales and margins. Also, since a substantial portion of the backlog for commercial aerospace customers is scheduled for delivery beyond 2009, changes in economic conditions may cause customers to request that firm orders be rescheduled or canceled. At times, our aerospace businesses also enter into firm fixed-price development contracts, which may require us to bear cost overruns related to unforeseen technical and design challenges that arise during the development stage of the program. In addition, our aerospace businesses face intense competition from domestic and foreign manufacturers of new equipment and spare parts. The defense industry is also affected by a changing global political environment, continued pressure on U.S. and global defense spending and U.S. foreign policy and the level of activity in military flight operations. Spare parts sales and aftermarket service trends are affected by similar factors, including usage, pricing, technological improvements, regulatory changes and the retirement of older aircraft. Furthermore, because of the lengthy research and development cycle involved in bringing products in these business segments to market, we cannot predict the economic conditions that will exist when any new product is complete. A reduction in capital spending in the commercial aviation or defense industries could have a significant effect on the demand for our products, which could have an adverse effect on our financial performance or results of operations.

Our Business May Be Affected by Government Contracting Risks

U.S. government contracts are subject to termination by the government, either for the convenience of the government or for default as a result of our failure to perform under the applicable contract. If terminated by the government as a result of our default, we could be liable for additional costs the government incurs in acquiring undelivered goods or services from another source and any other damages it suffers. We are now, and believe that in light of the current U.S. government contracting environment we will continue to be, the subject of one or more U.S. government investigations. If we or one of our business units were charged with wrongdoing as a result of any U.S. government investigation (including violation of certain environmental or export laws), the U.S. government could suspend us from bidding on or receiving awards of new U.S. government contracts pending the completion of legal proceedings. If convicted or found liable, the U.S. government could subject us to fines, penalties, repayments and treble and other damages. The U.S. government could void any contracts found to be tainted by fraud. The U.S. government also reserves the right to debar a contractor from receiving new government contracts for fraudulent, criminal or other seriously improper conduct. Debarment generally does not exceed three years. Independently, failure to comply with U.S. laws and regulations related to the export of goods and technology outside the United States could result in civil or criminal penalties and suspension or termination of our export privileges. In addition, we are also sensitive to U.S. military budgets, which may fluctuate to reflect the policies of a new administration or Congress.

Our International Operations Subject Us to Economic Risk As Our Results of Operations May Be Adversely Affected by Changes in Economic Conditions, Foreign Currency Fluctuations and Changes in Local Government Regulation

We conduct our business on a global basis, with approximately 63% of our total 2008 segment revenues derived from operations outside of the United States and from U.S. export sales. Changes in local and regional economic conditions, including fluctuations in exchange rates, may affect product demand and reported profits in our non-U.S. operations (primarily the commercial businesses) where transactions are generally denominated in local currencies. In addition, currency fluctuations may affect the prices we pay suppliers for materials used in our products. As a result, our operating margins may also be negatively impacted by worldwide currency fluctuations that result in higher costs for certain cross border transactions. Our financial statements are denominated in U.S. dollars. Accordingly, fluctuations in exchange rates may also give rise to translation gains or losses when financial statements of non-U.S. operating units are translated into U.S. dollars. Given that the majority of our revenues are non-U.S. based, a strengthening of the U.S. dollar against other major foreign currencies could adversely affect our results of operations.

The majority of sales in the aerospace businesses is transacted in U.S. dollars, consistent with established industry practice, while the majority of costs at locations outside the United States is incurred in the applicable local currency (principally the Euro and the Canadian dollar). For operating units with U.S. dollar sales and local currency costs, there is a foreign currency exposure that could impact our results of operations depending on market changes in the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar against the applicable foreign currencies. To manage certain exposures, we employ long-term hedging strategies associated with U.S. dollar revenues. See Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2008 Annual Report and Note 8 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for a discussion of our hedging strategies.

Table of Contents

Our international sales and operations are subject to risks associated with changes in local government laws, regulations and policies, including those related to tariffs and trade barriers, investments, taxation, exchange controls, employment regulations, and repatriation of earnings. Our international sales and operations are also sensitive to changes in foreign national priorities, including government budgets, as well as to political and economic instability. International transactions may involve increased financial and legal risks due to differing legal systems and customs in foreign countries. For example, as a condition of sale or award of a contract, some international customers require us to agree to offset arrangements, which may include in-country purchases, manufacturing and financial support arrangements. The contract may provide for penalties in the event we fail to perform in accordance with the offset requirements. In addition, as part of our globalization strategy, we have invested in certain countries, including Argentina, Brazil, China, India, Russia and South Africa that carry high levels of currency, political and economic risk.

While these factors or the impact of these factors are difficult to predict, any one or more of them could adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results.

We Use a Variety of Raw Materials, Supplier-Provided Parts, Components, Sub-Systems and Third Party Contract Manufacturing Services in Our Businesses, and Significant Shortages, Supplier Capacity Constraints, Supplier Production Disruptions or Price Increases Could Increase Our Operating Costs and Adversely Impact the Competitive Positions of Our Products

Our reliance on suppliers, third party contract manufacturing and commodity markets to secure raw materials, parts, components and sub-systems used in our products exposes us to volatility in the prices and availability of these materials. In some instances, we depend upon a single source of supply, manufacturing or assembly or participate in commodity markets that may be subject to allocations of limited supplies by suppliers. A disruption in deliveries from our suppliers or third party contract manufacturers, supplier capacity constraints, supplier and third party contract manufacturer production disruptions, price increases, or decreased availability of raw materials or commodities, could have an adverse effect on our ability to meet our commitments to customers or increase our operating costs. We believe that our supply management and production practices are based on an appropriate balancing of the foreseeable risks and the costs of alternative practices. Nonetheless, price increases, supplier capacity constraints, supplier production disruptions or the unavailability of some raw materials may have an adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.

We Engage in Acquisitions, and May Encounter Difficulties Integrating Acquired Businesses with Our Current Operations; Therefore, We May Not Realize the Anticipated Benefits of the Acquisitions

We seek to grow through strategic acquisitions. In the past several years, we have made various acquisitions and entered into joint venture arrangements intended to complement and expand our businesses, and may continue to do so in the future. The success of these transactions will depend on our ability to integrate assets and personnel acquired in these transactions, apply our internal controls processes to these acquired businesses, and cooperate with our strategic partners. We may encounter difficulties in integrating acquisitions with our operations, applying our internal controls processes to these acquisitions, or in managing strategic investments. Furthermore, we may not realize the degree or timing of benefits we anticipate when we first enter into a transaction. Any of the foregoing could adversely affect our business and results of operations. In addition, the recent effectiveness of revisions to accounting for business combinations, which, among other things, require companies to expense certain acquisition costs as incurred, may cause us to incur greater earnings volatility and generally lower earnings during periods in which we acquire new businesses.

We Design, Manufacture and Service Products that Incorporate Advanced Technologies; The Introduction of New Products and Technologies Involves Risks and We May Not Realize the Degree or Timing of Benefits Initially Anticipated

We seek to achieve growth through the design, development, production, sale and support of innovative products that incorporate advanced technologies. We regularly invest substantial amounts in research and development efforts that pursue advancements in a wide range of technologies, products and services. Our ability to realize the anticipated benefits of these advancements depends on a variety of factors, including meeting development, production, certification and regulatory approval schedules; execution of internal and external performance plans; availability of internal and supplier-produced parts and materials; performance of suppliers and subcontractors; achieving cost and production efficiencies, validation of innovative technologies and the level of customer interest in new technologies and products. These factors involve significant risks and uncertainties. We may encounter difficulties in developing and producing these new products and services, and may not realize the degree or timing of benefits initially anticipated. In particular, we cannot predict with certainty whether, when and in what quantities Pratt & Whitney or its affiliates will produce aircraft engines currently in development or pending required certifications. Any of the foregoing could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

We Are Subject to Litigation and Legal Compliance Risks That Could Adversely Affect Our Operating Results

We are subject to a variety of litigation and legal compliance risks. These risks include, among other things, litigation concerning product liability matters, personal injuries, intellectual property rights, government contracts, taxes, environmental matters and compliance with U.S. and foreign export laws, competition laws and sales and trading practices. We or one of our business units could be charged with wrongdoing as a result of such litigation. If convicted or found liable, we could be subject to fines, penalties,

repayments, other damages (in certain cases, treble damages), or suspension or debarment from government contracts. Independently, failure of us or one of our business units to comply with applicable export and trade practice laws could result in civil or criminal penalties and suspension or termination of export privileges. While we believe we have adopted appropriate risk management and compliance programs to address and reduce these risks, the global and diverse nature of our operations means that these risks will continue to exist and additional legal proceedings and contingencies will arise from time to time. Our results may be affected by the outcome of legal proceedings and other contingencies that cannot be predicted with certainty. For non-income tax risks, we estimate material loss contingencies and establish reserves as required by generally accepted accounting principles based on our assessment of contingencies where liability is deemed probable and reasonably estimable in light of the facts and circumstances known to us at a particular point in time. Subsequent developments in legal proceedings may affect our assessment and estimates of the loss contingency recorded as a liability or as a reserve against assets in our financial statements and could result in an adverse effect on our results of operations in the period in which a liability would be recognized or cash flows for the period in which damages would be paid. For a description of current legal proceedings, see Part I, Item 3 “Legal Proceedings,” in our 2008 Form 10-K, as updated from time to time in subsequent filings, including this Form 10-Q. For income tax risks, we recognize tax benefits based on our assessment that a tax benefit has a greater than 50% likelihood of being sustained upon ultimate settlement with the applicable taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant facts. For those income tax positions where we assess that there is not a greater than 50% likelihood that such tax benefit will be sustained, we do not recognize a tax benefit in our financial statements. Subsequent events may cause us to change our assessment of the likelihood of sustaining a previously-recognized benefit which could result in an adverse effect on our results of operations in the period in which such event occurs or on our cash flows in the period in which the ultimate settlement with the applicable taxing authority occurs.

We repurchase shares under a program announced on June 11, 2008, which authorized the repurchase of up to 60 million shares of our common stock. Under the current program, shares may be purchased on the open market, in privately negotiated transactions and under plans complying with Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 under the Exchange Act, as amended. These repurchases are included within the scope of our overall repurchase program discussed above. We may also reacquire shares outside of the program from time to time in connection with the surrender of shares to cover taxes on vesting of restricted stock. Approximately 8,000 shares were reacquired in transactions outside the program during the quarter.
