ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Honeywell International Inc. (Honeywell) is a diversified technology and manufacturing company, serving customers worldwide with aerospace products and services, control technologies for buildings, homes and industry, automotive products, specialty chemicals, fibers, plastics and electronic and advanced materials. Honeywell was incorporated in Delaware in 1985.
MAJOR BUSINESSES
We globally manage our business operations through strategic business units, which have been aggregated under four reportable segments: Aerospace, Automation and Control Solutions, Specialty Materials and Transportation and Power Systems. Financial information related to our reportable segments is included in 'Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data' in Note 24 of Notes to Financial Statements.
Following is a description of our strategic business units:
AEROSPACE SALES
Our sales to aerospace customers were 41, 40 and 42 percent of our total sales in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Our sales to aerospace original equipment manufacturers were 15, 14 and 15 percent of our total sales in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. If there were a large decline in sales of aircraft that use our components, operating results could be negatively impacted. In addition, our sales to aftermarket customers of aerospace products and services were 21, 21 and 19 percent of our total sales in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. If there were a large decline in the number of flight hours for aircraft that use our components or services, operating results could be negatively impacted. The terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 resulted in an abrupt downturn in the aviation industry which was already negatively impacted by a weak economy. This dramatic downturn in the commercial air transport industry will continue to adversely impact the operating results of our Aerospace segment in 2002. In response, we have accelerated our cost-reduction actions to mitigate the impact of this downturn.
U.S. GOVERNMENT SALES
Sales to the U.S. Government (principally by our Aerospace segment), acting through its various departments and agencies and through prime contractors, amounted to $2,491, $2,219 and $2,383 million in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively, which included sales to the U.S. Department of Defense of $1,631, $1,548 and $1,415 million in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. We are affected by U.S. Government budget constraints for defense and space programs. U.S. defense spending increased in 2001 and is also expected to increase in 2002.
In addition to normal business risks, companies engaged in supplying military and other equipment to the U.S. Government are subject to unusual risks, including dependence on Congressional appropriations and administrative allotment of funds, changes in governmental procurement legislation and regulations and other policies that may reflect military and political developments, significant changes in contract scheduling, complexity of designs and the rapidity with which they become obsolete, necessity for constant design improvements, intense competition for U.S. Government business necessitating increases in time and investment for design and development, difficulty of forecasting costs and schedules when bidding on developmental and highly sophisticated technical work and other factors characteristic of the industry. Changes are customary over the life of U.S. Government contracts, particularly development contracts, and generally result in adjustments of contract prices.
We, like other government contractors, are subject to government investigations of business practices and compliance with government procurement regulations. Although such regulations provide that a contractor may be suspended or barred from government contracts under certain circumstances, and the outcome of pending government investigations cannot be predicted with certainty, we are not currently aware of any such investigations that we expect, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on us. In addition, we have a proactive business compliance program designed to ensure compliance and sound business practices.
BACKLOG
Our total backlog at year-end 2001 and 2000 was $7,178 and $8,094 million, respectively. We anticipate that approximately $5,375 million of the 2001 backlog will be filled in 2002. We believe that
backlog is not necessarily a reliable indicator of our future sales because a substantial portion of the orders constituting this backlog may be canceled at the customer's option.
COMPETITION
We are subject to active competition in substantially all product and service areas. Competition is expected to continue in all geographic regions. Competitive conditions vary widely among the thousands of products and services provided by us, and vary country by country. Depending on the particular customer or market involved, our businesses compete on a variety of factors, such as price, quality, reliability, delivery, customer service, performance, applied technology, product innovation and product recognition. Brand identity, service to customers and quality are generally important competitive factors for our products and services, and there is considerable price competition. Other competitive factors for certain products include breadth of product line, research and development efforts and technical and managerial capability. While our competitive position varies among our products and services, we believe we are a significant competitor in each of our major product and service classes. However, a number of our products and services are sold in competition with those of a large number of other companies, some of which have substantial financial resources and significant technological capabilities. In addition, some of our products compete with the captive component divisions of original equipment manufacturers.
INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS
We are engaged in manufacturing, sales and research and development mainly in the United States, Europe, Canada, Asia and Latin America. U.S. exports and foreign manufactured products are significant to our operations.
Our international operations, including U.S. exports, are potentially subject to a number of unique risks and limitations, including: fluctuations in currency value; exchange control regulations; wage and price controls; employment regulations; foreign investment laws; import and trade restrictions, including embargoes; and governmental instability. However, we have limited exposure in high risk countries and have taken action to mitigate these risks.
Financial information related to geographic areas is included in 'Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data' in Note 25 of Notes to Financial Statements.
RAW MATERIALS
The principal raw materials used in our operations are generally readily available. We experienced no significant or unusual problems in the purchase of key raw materials and commodities in 2001. We are not dependent on any one supplier for a material amount of our raw materials. However, we are highly dependent on our suppliers and subcontractors in order to meet commitments to our customers. In addition, many major components and product equipment items are procured or subcontracted on a sole-source basis with a number of domestic and foreign companies. We maintain a qualification and performance surveillance process to control risk associated with such reliance on third parties. While we believe that sources of supply for raw materials and components are generally adequate, it is difficult to predict what effects shortages or price increases may have in the future. However, at present, we have no reason to believe a shortage of raw materials will cause any material adverse impact during 2002.
PATENTS, TRADEMARKS, LICENSES AND DISTRIBUTION RIGHTS
Our business as a whole, and that of our strategic business units, are not dependent upon any single patent or related group of patents, or any licenses or distribution rights. We own, or are licensed under, a large number of patents, patent applications and trademarks acquired over a period of many years, which relate to many of our products or improvements to those products and which are of importance to our business. From time to time, new patents and trademarks are obtained, and patent and trademark licenses and rights are acquired from others. We also have distribution rights of varying terms for a number of products and services produced by other companies. In our judgment, those rights are adequate for the conduct of our business. We believe that, in the aggregate, the rights under our patents, trademarks and licenses are generally important to our operations, but we do not consider any patent, trademark or related group of patents, or any licensing or distribution rights related to a
specific process or product to be of material importance in relation to our total business. See Item 3 at page 10 of this Form 10-K for information concerning litigation relating to patents in which we are involved.
We have registered trademarks for a number of our products, including such consumer brands as Honeywell, Prestone, FRAM, Anso and Autolite.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Our research activities are directed toward the discovery and development of new products and processes, improvements in existing products and processes, and the development of new uses for existing products.
Research and development expense totaled $832, $818 and $909 million in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Customer-sponsored (principally the U.S. Government) research and development activities amounted to an additional $697, $560 and $682 million in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
ENVIRONMENT
We are subject to various federal, state and local government requirements regulating the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment. It is our policy to comply with these requirements, and we believe that, as a general matter, our policies, practices and procedures are properly designed to prevent unreasonable risk of environmental damage, and of resulting financial liability, in connection with our business. Some risk of environmental damage is, however, inherent in some of our operations and products, as it is with other companies engaged in similar businesses.
We are and have been engaged in the handling, manufacture, use and disposal of many substances classified as hazardous or toxic by one or more regulatory agencies. We believe that, as a general matter, our handling, manufacture, use and disposal of these substances are in accord with environmental laws and regulations. It is possible, however, that future knowledge or other developments, such as improved capability to detect substances in the environment or increasingly strict environmental laws and standards and enforcement policies, could bring into question our handling, manufacture, use or disposal of these substances.
Among other environmental requirements, we are subject to the federal superfund law, and similar state laws, under which we have been designated as a potentially responsible party that may be liable for cleanup costs associated with various hazardous waste sites, some of which are on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's superfund priority list. Although, under some court interpretations of these laws, there is a possibility that a responsible party might have to bear more than its proportional share of the cleanup costs if it is unable to obtain appropriate contribution from other responsible parties, we have not had to bear significantly more than our proportional share in multi- party situations taken as a whole.
Further information regarding environmental matters is included in 'Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations' and 'Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data' in Note 22 of Notes to Financial Statements.
EMPLOYEES
We have approximately 115,000 employees at December 31, 2001. Approximately 79,000 were located in the United States, and, of these employees, about 19 percent were unionized employees represented by various local or national unions.
ITEM 2.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
We have over 1,000 locations consisting of plants, research laboratories, sales offices and other facilities. Our plants are generally located to serve large marketing areas and to provide accessibility to raw materials and labor pools. Our properties are generally maintained in good operating condition. Utilization of these plants may vary with sales to customers and other business conditions; however, no major operating facility is significantly idle. Our facilities, together with planned expansions, are expected to meet our needs for the foreseeable future. We own or lease warehouses, railroad cars, barges, automobiles, trucks, airplanes and materials handling and data processing equipment. We also
lease space for administrative and sales staffs. Our headquarters and administrative complex is located at Morristown, New Jersey.
Our principal plants, which are owned in fee unless otherwise indicated, are as follows:
ITEM 3.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On November 23, 2001, we agreed to pay a $110,000 penalty to the United States and a $40,000 penalty to the Commonwealth of Virginia and to perform five special environmental projects worth $772,000 to settle alleged violations of federal and state environmental regulations at our plant in Hopewell, Virginia. In an action filed in federal court in Richmond, Virginia, the state and federal environmental protection agencies had alleged violations of the federal Clean Air Act and federal and state regulations on the storage and disposal of hazardous substances. In the settlement, we neither admitted nor denied liability for the alleged violations.
Details of other legal proceedings are included in 'Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data' in Note 22 of Notes to Financial Statements.

In 1996, includes repositioning and other charges and a gain on the sale of our automotive Braking Systems business resulting in a net after-tax gain of $9 million, or $0.01 per share.
ITEM 7.
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net sales in 2001 were $23,652 million, a decrease of $1,371 million, or 5 percent compared with 2000. Net sales in 2000 were $25,023 million, an increase of $1,288 million, or 5 percent compared with 1999. The change in net sales in 2001 and 2000 is attributable to the following:
Cost of goods sold of $20,429, $19,090 and $18,495 million in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively, included merger, repositioning and other charges of $2,438, $830 and $947 million in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. See 'Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data' in Note 5 of Notes to Financial Statements for further discussion of the merger, repositioning and other charges. Excluding these charges, cost of goods sold was $17,991, $18,260 and $17,548 million in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Excluding merger, repositioning and other charges, cost of goods sold as a percent of sales was 76.1, 73.0 and 73.9 percent in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The increase in cost of goods sold as a percent of sales in 2001 compared with 2000 principally reflected significantly lower sales in our Specialty Materials segment and lower sales of higher-margin aftermarket products and services in our Aerospace segment. This increase was partially offset by lower costs due to headcount reductions. The decrease in cost of goods sold as a percent of sales in 2000 compared with 1999 related principally to lower costs due to headcount reductions and increased sales of higher-margin aftermarket products and services in our Aerospace segment partially offset by higher raw materials costs, primarily in our Specialty Materials segment.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $3,064, $3,134 and $3,216 million in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Selling, general and administrative expenses included merger, repositioning and other charges of $151 and $300 million in 2001 and 1999, respectively. See 'Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data' in Note 5 of Notes to Financial Statements for further discussion of the merger, repositioning and other charges. Excluding these charges, selling, general and administrative expenses were $2,913, $3,134 and $2,916 million in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Excluding merger, repositioning and other charges, selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of sales were 12.3, 12.5 and 12.3 percent in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of sales in 2001 compared with 2000 principally reflected the impact of headcount reductions and a decline in discretionary spending for professional services, travel and overtime. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of sales in 2000 compared with 1999 principally reflected our acquisition of Pittway, which had a higher level of selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of sales.
Retirement benefit (pension and other post retirement) plans contributed cost reductions of $165, $282 and $61 million in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively, principally due to the funding status of our pension plans (described in 'Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data' in Note 23 of Notes to Financial Statements) and workforce reductions. Future effects on operating results will principally depend on pension plan investment performance and other economic conditions.
(Gain) on sale of non-strategic businesses of $112 million in 2000 represented the pretax gain on the government-mandated divestiture of the TCAS product line of Honeywell Inc. (the former Honeywell) in connection with the merger of AlliedSignal Inc. and the former Honeywell in December 1999. (Gain) on sale of non-strategic businesses of $106 million in 1999 represented the pretax gain
on the sale of our Laminate Systems business. See 'Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data' in Note 6 of Notes to Financial Statements for further information.
Equity in (income) loss of affiliated companies was a loss of $193 and $89 million in 2001 and 2000, respectively, and income of $76 million in 1999. Equity in (income) loss of affiliated companies included repositioning and other charges of $200, $136 and $40 million in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. See 'Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data' in Note 5 of Notes to Financial Statements for further discussion of the repositioning and other charges. Excluding these charges, equity in (income) loss of affiliated companies was income of $7, $47 and $116 million in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The decrease of $40 million in equity income in 2001 compared with 2000 was due mainly to the gain on the sale of our interest in an automotive aftermarket joint venture in 2000. The decrease of $69 million in equity income in 2000 compared with 1999 was due mainly to lower earnings from our UOP process technology (UOP) joint venture partially offset by the gain on the sale of our interest in an automotive aftermarket joint venture.
Other (income) expense, $17 million of income in 2001, decreased by $40 million compared with 2000. The current year included a net provision of $5 million consisting of a $6 million charge related to the redemption of our $200 million 5 3/4% dealer remarketable securities and a $1 million credit recognized upon the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, 'Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities', as amended. Excluding this net provision, other (income) expense was $22 million of income in 2001, a decrease of $35 million compared with 2000 due to a decrease in benefits from foreign exchange hedging and lower interest income, partially offset by lower minority interests expense. Other (income) expense, $57 million of income in 2000, decreased by $250 million compared with 1999. The decrease principally reflected the 1999 net gain of $268 million on our disposition of our investment in AMP common stock. Excluding this net gain, other (income) expense was $57 million of income in 2000, compared with $39 million of income in 1999. This increase in other income of $18 million in 2000 was due principally to lower minority interests expense and an increase in benefits from foreign exchange hedging.
Interest and other financial charges of $405 million in 2001 decreased by $76 million, or 16 percent compared with 2000, due to lower average debt outstanding and lower average interest rates in 2001. Interest and other financial charges of $481 million in 2000 increased by $216 million, or 82 percent compared with 1999. The increase resulted from higher average debt outstanding during 2000 due principally to our acquisition of Pittway and our share repurchase program, higher average interest rates and the impact of tax interest expense.
The effective tax (benefit) rate was (76.6), 30.8 and 31.5 percent in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Excluding the impact of merger, repositioning and other charges and gains on our sales of non-strategic businesses and our investment in AMP, the effective tax rate was 29.5, 29.5 and 31.5 percent in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate in 2000 compared with 1999 related principally to tax synergies in Europe associated with the merger of AlliedSignal Inc. and the former Honeywell. See 'Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data' in Note 9 of Notes to Financial Statements for further information.
Net loss was $99 million, or $(0.12) per share, in 2001 compared with net income of $1,659 million, or $2.05 per share, in 2000. Adjusted for repositioning and other charges, net income in 2001 was $1,771 million, or $2.17 per share higher than reported. Adjusted for repositioning and other charges and the gain on the disposition of the TCAS product line of the former Honeywell, net income in 2000 was $634 million, or $0.78 per share higher than reported. Net income in 2001 decreased by 27 percent compared with 2000 if both years are adjusted to exclude the impact of repositioning and other charges and the gain on the disposition of the TCAS product line of the former Honeywell. Net income was $1,659 million, or $2.05 per share, in 2000 compared with net income of $1,541 million, or $1.90 per share, in 1999. Adjusted for the gains on our dispositions of our Laminate Systems business and our investment in AMP and merger, repositioning and other charges, net income in 1999 was $624 million, or $0.78 per share, higher than reported. Net income in 2000 increased by 6 percent compared with 1999 if both years are adjusted for merger, repositioning and other charges and the gains on our dispositions of the TCAS product line of the former Honeywell, our Laminate Systems business and our investment in AMP.
REVIEW OF BUSINESS SEGMENTS
A reconciliation of segment profit to consolidated income (loss) before taxes is as follows:
See 'Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data' in Note 24 of Notes to Financial Statements for further information on our reportable segments.
Aerospace sales in 2001 were $9,653 million, a decrease of $335 million, or 3 percent compared with 2000. This decrease principally reflected lower sales to both commercial air transport aftermarket and original equipment customers and the impact of prior year divestitures. Sales of original equipment to business and general aviation customers were also lower. This decrease was partially offset by higher aftermarket sales to business and general aviation customers. Sales to the military were also moderately higher. The lower commercial sales resulted from the abrupt downturn in the aviation industry following the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 and the already weak economy. This dramatic downturn in the commercial air transport industry will continue to negatively impact the operating results of our Aerospace segment in 2002. In response, we have accelerated our cost-reduction actions to mitigate the impact of this downturn. Aerospace sales in 2000 were $9,988 million, an increase of $80 million, or 1 percent compared with 1999. Higher sales to the aftermarket, particularly repair and overhaul and the military, and increased original equipment sales to business and general aviation customers were partially offset by lower sales to commercial air transport original equipment customers and a decline in engineering services revenues. Sales also decreased due to the effects of government-mandated divestitures in connection with the merger of AlliedSignal and the former Honeywell.
Aerospace segment profit in 2001 was $1,741 million, a decrease of $454 million, or 21 percent compared with 2000. This decrease related principally to lower sales of higher-margin aftermarket products, higher retirement benefit costs, engineering and development costs related to new products and the impact of prior year divestitures. This decrease was partially offset by the impact of cost-
reduction actions, primarily workforce reductions. Aerospace segment profit in 2000 was $2,195 million, an increase of $277 million, or 14 percent compared with 1999, due principally to cost-structure improvements, primarily from workforce and retirement benefit cost reductions, and merger-related savings. Increased sales of higher-margin aftermarket products and services also contributed to the improvement in segment profit.
Automation and Control Solutions sales in 2001 were $7,185 million, a decrease of $199 million, or 3 percent compared with 2000. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange, acquisitions and divestitures, sales decreased approximately 2 percent. This decrease resulted primarily from lower sales for our Control Products business primarily due to weakness in key end-markets. Our Service business also had lower sales due primarily to weakness in our security monitoring business. This decrease was partially offset by higher sales for our Industry Solutions business. Sales were also higher for our Security and Fire Solutions business due principally to our acquisition of Pittway in the prior year. Automation and Control Solutions sales in 2000 were $7,384 million, an increase of $1,269 million, or 21 percent compared with 1999, due principally to higher sales for our Security and Fire Solutions business due to our acquisition of Pittway in February 2000. Sales for our Control Products business also increased. This increase was partially offset by lower sales in our Service and Industry Solutions businesses. Our Industry Solutions business was adversely affected by weakness in the hydrocarbon processing industry. Sales for the segment were also adversely impacted by foreign currency fluctuations due to the strong dollar.
Automation and Control Solutions segment profit in 2001 was $819 million, a decrease of $167 million, or 17 percent compared with 2000. This decrease resulted principally from lower sales for our Control Products and Service businesses, higher raw material costs and pricing pressures across the segment, higher retirement benefit costs and the impact of prior year divestitures. This decrease was partially offset by the impact of cost-reduction actions, primarily workforce reductions. Automation and Control Solutions segment profit in 2000 was $986 million, an increase of $219 million, or 29 percent compared with 1999. Segment profit improved primarily as a result of lower costs due to workforce and benefit cost reductions and merger-related savings. Our acquisition of Pittway and other portfolio changes also contributed to the improvement in segment profit.
Specialty Materials sales in 2001 were $3,313 million, a decrease of $742 million, or 18 percent compared with 2000. Excluding the effect of divestitures, sales decreased 13 percent. This decrease was driven by a substantial decline in sales for our Electronic Materials business due to weakness in the electronics and telecommunications markets. Sales were also lower for our Nylon System and Performance Fibers businesses due to weakness in the carpet and automotive end-markets. Specialty Materials sales in 2000 were $4,055 million, an increase of $48 million, or 1 percent compared with 1999. Higher sales of advanced circuitry and wafer-fabrication products were largely offset by the impact of divestitures, principally our Laminate Systems business.
Specialty Materials segment profit in 2001 was $52 million, a decrease of $282 million, or 84 percent compared with 2000. This decrease resulted primarily from lower volumes and price declines, principally in our Electronic Materials, Nylon System and Performance Fibers businesses. Higher energy and raw material costs principally in our Nylon System and Performance Fibers businesses and the impact of prior year divestitures also contributed to the decrease in segment profit. By the end of 2001, we began to experience lower energy and raw materials costs in these businesses. This decrease in segment profit was partially offset by the impact of cost-reduction actions, principally plant shutdowns and workforce reductions. Specialty Materials segment profit in 2000 was $334 million, a decrease of $105 million, or 24 percent compared with 1999. This decrease principally reflected higher energy and raw material costs primarily in our Nylon System and Performance Fibers businesses and higher operating losses in our chip packaging and pharmaceutical chemicals businesses. This decrease was partially offset by cost-structure improvements and price increases in certain Specialty Materials businesses.
Transportation and Power Systems sales in 2001 were $3,457 million, a decrease of $70 million, or 2 percent compared with 2000. Excluding the effects of foreign exchange, acquisitions and divestitures, sales were flat. Sales were significantly higher for our Garrett Engine Boosting Systems business due to continued strong demand for turbochargers in the European diesel-powered
passenger car market. This increase was offset by lower sales for our Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems business due to decreased heavy-duty truck builds in North America and lower sales for our Friction Materials and Consumer Products Group businesses due to weakness in automotive end-markets. Transportation and Power Systems sales in 2000 were $3,527 million, a decrease of $54 million, or 2 percent compared with 1999 due mainly to lower sales for our Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems and Friction Materials businesses. Sales for our Bendix Commercial Vehicles Systems business were negatively impacted by decreased heavy-duty truck builds. Sales for our Friction Materials business were lower mainly due to foreign currency fluctuations. This decrease was partially offset by higher sales for our Garrett Engine Boosting Systems business as continued strong world-wide demand for turbochargers more than offset the adverse impact of foreign currency fluctuations.
Transportation and Power Systems segment profit in 2001 was $289 million, an increase of $15 million, or 5 percent compared with 2000 due to higher sales in our Garrett Engine Boosting Systems business and the impact of repositioning actions across all businesses. The shutdown of our Turbogenerator product line in 2001 and the fact that the prior year included costs associated with a product recall in our Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems business also contributed to an improvement in segment profit in 2001. This increase was partially offset by the impact of lower sales in our Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems, Consumer Products Group and Friction Materials businesses. Transportation and Power Systems segment profit in 2000 was $274 million, a decrease of $48 million, or 15 percent compared with 1999. This decrease primarily reflected costs associated with a product recall and lower sales in our Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems business, costs related to the ramp-up of our Turbogenerator product line and costs associated with a supplier issue in our Garrett Engine Boosting Systems business. This decrease was partially offset by the effects of cost-structure improvements in our Friction Materials and Consumer Products Group businesses and higher sales in our Garrett Engine Boosting Systems business.
FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We manage our businesses to maximize operating cash flows as the principal source of our liquidity. We continuously assess the relative strength of each business in our portfolio as to strategic fit, market position, profit and cash flow contribution in order to upgrade our combined portfolio and identify business units that will most benefit from increased investment. We identify acquisition candidates that will further our strategic plan and strengthen our existing core businesses. We also identify business units that do not fit into our long-term strategic plan based on their market position, relative profitability or growth potential. These business units are considered for potential divestiture, restructuring or other repositioning actions subject to regulatory constraints. Considering the current economic environment in which each of our businesses operate and our business plans and strategies, including our focus on cost reduction and productivity initiatives, we believe that our operating cash flows will remain our principal source of liquidity. Our available cash, committed credit lines, access to the public debt markets using debt securities and commercial paper, as well as, our ability to sell trade accounts receivables, provide additional sources of short-term and long-term liquidity to fund current operations and future investment opportunities. Based on our current financial position and expected economic performance, we do not believe that our liquidity will be adversely impacted by an inability to access our sources of financing.
Total assets at December 31, 2001 were $24,226 million, a decrease of $949 million, or 4 percent from December 31, 2000. Inventories and accounts receivable were lower compared with the prior year-end driven by an improvement in working capital performance. The decrease in total assets also resulted from asset writedowns included in repositioning and other charges, which are discussed in detail in 'Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data' in Note 5 of Notes to Financial Statements. Total assets at December 31, 2000 were $25,175 million, an increase of $1,648 million, or 7 percent from December 31, 1999. This increase related principally to our acquisition of Pittway in February 2000.
Cash provided by operating activities of $1,996 million during 2001 increased by $7 million compared with 2000. This increase was driven by an improvement in working capital performance offset by lower net income excluding non-cash repositioning and other charges and gains on sales of
non-strategic businesses in both years. Cash provided by operating activities of $1,989 million during 2000 decreased by $385 million compared with 1999 due principally to spending related to merger and repositioning actions, a deterioration in working capital performance and higher pension income. This decrease was partially offset by lower taxes paid on sales of businesses and investments and higher net income excluding non-cash merger, repositioning and other charges and gains on sales of non-strategic businesses and our investment in AMP in both years.
Cash used for investing activities of $906 million during 2001 decreased by $1,808 million compared with 2000 due principally to our acquisition of Pittway in 2000. This decrease was partially offset by lower proceeds from the sales of businesses and property, plant and equipment and a slight increase in capital spending. Cash used for investing activities of $2,714 million during 2000 increased by $2,423 million compared with 1999. Our acquisition of Pittway, the fact that the prior year included the net proceeds from our disposition of our investment in AMP and lower proceeds from sales of businesses were principally responsible for the increase. This increase was partially offset by lower capital spending in 2000.
Capital expenditures were $876, $853 and $986 million in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Spending by the reportable segments and Corporate since 1999 is shown in 'Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data' in Note 24 of Notes to Financial Statements. Our total capital expenditures in 2002 are currently projected at approximately $735 million. The expected decrease in capital spending in 2002 principally reflects our intention to limit capital spending at non-strategic businesses. These expenditures are expected to be financed principally by cash provided by operating activities and are primarily intended for expansion and cost reduction.
Cash used for financing activities of $893 million during 2001 increased by $823 million compared with 2000. This increase resulted principally from reduced long-term borrowings in the current year. During 2001, we issued $500 million of 5 1/8% Notes due 2006, $500 million of 6 1/8% Notes due 2011 and $247 million of 5.25% Notes due 2006. During 2000, we issued $1 billion of 7.50% Notes due 2010 and $750 million of 6.875% Notes due 2005. Total debt of $5,270 million at December 31, 2001 was $353 million, or 6 percent lower than at December 31, 2000. This decrease resulted from lower levels of commercial paper outstanding at the current year-end. The increase in cash used for financing activities also resulted from lower proceeds from issuances of common stock partially offset by lower repurchases of common stock. Cash used for financing activities of $70 million during 2000 decreased by $1,040 million compared with 1999 led principally by a decrease in stock repurchases and higher net issuances of debt. During 2000, we repurchased 4.3 million shares of our common stock for $166 million in connection with our share repurchase program which was rescinded effective October 21, 2000. Total debt of $5,623 million at December 31, 2000 was $557 million, or 11 percent higher than at December 31, 1999 due to our acquisition of Pittway.
We maintain a $2 billion bank revolving credit facility which is comprised of (a) a $1 billion Five-Year Credit Agreement; and, (b) a $1 billion 364-Day Credit Agreement. The credit agreements were established for general corporate purposes including support for the issuance of commercial paper. There was $3 and $1,192 million of commercial paper outstanding at year-end 2001 and 2000, respectively. See 'Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data' in Note 16 of Notes to Financial Statements for details of long-term debt and a discussion of our credit agreements.
Following are summaries of our contractual obligations and other commercial commitments at December 31, 2001.
We have entered into agreements to lease land, equipment and buildings. Principally all our operating leases have initial terms of up to 25 years and some contain renewal options subject to customary conditions. At any time during the terms of some of our leases, we may at our option purchase the leased assets for amounts that approximate fair value. If we elect not to purchase the assets at the end of each such lease, we have guaranteed the residual values of the underlying assets (principally aircraft, equipment, buildings and land). We have also issued or are party to various direct and indirect guarantees of the debt of unconsolidated affiliates and third parties. The minimum operating lease payments, residual value guarantees, and maximum amount of unconsolidated affiliates and third party guarantees are reflected in the above table. We do not expect that any of our commercial commitments will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity.
MERGER, REPOSITIONING AND OTHER CHARGES
In 2001, we recognized a repositioning charge of $1,016 million for the cost of actions designed to reduce our cost structure and improve our future profitability. These actions consisted of announced global workforce reductions of approximately 20,000 manufacturing and administrative positions across all of our reportable segments of which approximately 15,000 positions have been eliminated as of December 31, 2001. These actions are expected to be completed by September 30, 2002. The repositioning charge also included asset impairments and other exit costs related to plant closures and the rationalization of manufacturing capacity and infrastructure, principally in our Specialty Materials, Engines, Systems and Services and Transportation and Power Systems businesses, including the shutdown of our Turbogenerator product line. The components of the charge included severance costs of $727 million, asset impairments of $194 million and other exit costs of $95 million consisting of contract cancellations and penalties, including lease terminations, negotiated or subject to reasonable estimation. Also, $119 million of previously established accruals, mainly for severance, were returned to income in 2001 due principally to higher than expected voluntary employee attrition resulting in reduced severance liabilities, principally in our Aerospace and Automation and Control Solutions reportable segments.
In 2000, we recognized a repositioning charge of $239 million related to announced global workforce reductions across all of our reportable segments, costs to close a chip package manufacturing plant and related workforce reductions, and other asset impairments principally associated with the completion of previously announced plant shut-downs in our Specialty Materials reportable segment. The components of the repositioning charge included severance costs of $151 million and asset impairments of $88 million. The announced workforce reductions consisted of approximately 2,800 manufacturing and administrative positions, which are complete. Asset impairments were principally related to manufacturing plant and equipment held for sale and capable of being taken out of service and actively marketed in the period of impairment. Also, $46 million of previously established accruals, principally for severance, were returned to income in 2000 due to higher than expected voluntary employee attrition resulting in reduced severance liabilities, principally in our Automation and Control Solutions and Aerospace reportable segments. We also recognized a repositioning charge of $99 million in equity in (income) loss of affiliated companies for costs to close an affiliate's chemical manufacturing operations. The components of the repositioning charge included severance costs of $6 million, asset impairments of $53 million, and other environmental exit costs and period expenses of $40 million.
In 1999, upon completion of the merger between AlliedSignal and the former Honeywell, we recognized a repositioning charge of $642 million for the cost of actions designed to improve our combined competitiveness, productivity and future profitability. The merger-related actions included the elimination of redundant corporate offices and functional administrative overhead; elimination of redundant and excess facilities and workforce in our combined aerospace businesses; adoption of Six Sigma productivity initiatives at the former Honeywell businesses; and, the transition to a global shared services model. The components of the repositioning charge included severance costs of $342 million, asset impairments of $108 million, other exit costs of $57 million and merger-related transaction and period expenses of $135 million. Global workforce reductions consisted of approximately 6,500 administrative and manufacturing positions, which are complete. Asset impairments were principally related to the elimination of redundant or excess corporate and aerospace facilities and equipment. Other exit costs were related to lease terminations and contract cancellation losses negotiated or subject to reasonable estimation at year-end. Merger-related transaction and period expenses consisted of investment banking and legal fees, former Honeywell deferred compensation vested upon change in control and other direct merger-related expenses incurred in the period the merger was completed. All merger-related actions are complete.
In 1999, we also recognized a repositioning charge of $321 million for the cost of actions designed to reposition principally the AlliedSignal businesses for improved productivity and future profitability. These actions included the organizational realignment of our aerospace businesses to strengthen market focus and simplify business structure; elimination of an unprofitable product line, closing of a wax refinery and carbon materials plant and rationalization of manufacturing capacity and infrastructure in our Specialty Materials reportable segment; a reduction in the infrastructure in our Garrett Engine Boosting Systems business; elimination of two manufacturing facilities in our Electronic Materials business; a plant closure and outsourcing activity in our automotive Consumer Products Group business; and related and general workforce reductions in all AlliedSignal businesses and our Automation and Control Solutions reportable segment. The components of the repositioning charge included severance costs of $140 million, asset impairments of $149 million, and other exit costs of $32 million. Global workforce reductions consisted of approximately 5,100 manufacturing, administrative, and sales positions, which are complete. Asset impairments were principally related to manufacturing plant and equipment held for sale and capable of being taken out of service and actively marketed in the period of impairment. Other exit costs principally consisted of environmental exit costs associated with chemical plant shutdowns. All repositioning actions, excluding environmental remediation, are complete.
These repositioning actions are expected to generate incremental pretax savings of approximately $760 million in 2002 compared with 2001 principally from planned workforce reductions and facility consolidations. Cash expenditures for severance and other exit costs necessary to execute these actions were $422 and $344 million in 2001 and 2000, respectively. Such expenditures for severance and other exit costs have been funded through operating cash flows, proceeds from sales of non-strategic businesses and government required divestitures resulting from the merger of AlliedSignal and the former Honeywell, and sale of merger-related, excess or duplicate facilities and equipment. Cash expenditures for severance and other exit costs necessary to execute the remaining 2001 actions will approximate $500 million in 2002 and will be funded principally through operating cash flows.
In 2001, we recognized other charges consisting of a settlement of the Litton Systems, Inc. litigation for $440 million (see 'Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data' in Note 22 of Notes to Financial Statements for further discussion), probable and reasonably estimable legal and environmental claims of $408 million (see 'Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data' in Note 22 of Notes to Financial Statements for further discussion), customer claims and settlements of contract liabilities of $310 million and write-offs principally related to asset impairments, including receivables and inventories, of $335 million. In 2001, we adopted a plan to dispose of our Friction Materials business and held discussions with a potential acquiror of the business. The Friction Materials business was designated as held for disposal, and we recognized an impairment charge of $145 million related to the write-down of property, plant and equipment, goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets to their fair value less costs to sell. We recognized charges of $112 million related to an other than temporary decline in the value of an equity investment and an equity investee's loss
contract, and a $100 million charge for write-off of investments, including inventory, related to a regional jet engine contract cancellation. We also recognized $42 million of transaction expenses related to the proposed merger with GE and redeemed our $200 million 5 3/4% dealer remarketable securities due 2011, resulting in a loss of $6 million.
In 2000, we identified certain business units and manufacturing facilities as non-core to our business strategy. As a result of this assessment, we implemented cost reduction initiatives and conducted discussions with potential acquirors of these businesses and assets. As part of this process, we evaluated the businesses and assets for possible impairment. As a result of our analysis, we recognized impairment charges in 2000 of $245 and $165 million principally related to the write-down of property, plant and equipment, goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets of our Friction Materials business and a chemical manufacturing facility, respectively. We recognized other charges consisting of probable and reasonably estimable environmental liabilities of $87 million, and contract claims, merger-related period expenses, other contingencies, and write-offs of tangible assets removed from service, including inventory, totaling $140 million. In addition, we recognized a charge of $37 million for costs principally related to an equity investee's customer claims.
In 1999, we recognized other charges consisting of losses on aerospace engine maintenance contracts and a contract cancellation penalty totaling $45 million, customer and employee claims of $69 million, contract settlements and contingent liabilities of $18 million, and other write-offs principally related to tangible and intangible assets removed from service, including inventory, of $152 million. We also recognized a $36 million charge resulting from an other than temporary decline in value of an equity investment due to a significant deterioration in market conditions and a $4 million charge related to an equity investee's severance action involving approximately 220 employees.
The following table summarizes the pretax impact of total merger, repositioning and other charges by reportable business segment.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
We are subject to various federal, state and local government requirements relating to the protection of employee health and safety and the environment. We believe that, as a general matter, our policies, practices and procedures are properly designed to prevent unreasonable risk of environmental damage and personal injury to our employees and employees of our customers and that our handling, manufacture, use and disposal of hazardous or toxic substances are in accord with environmental laws and regulations. However, mainly because of past operations and operations of predecessor companies, we, like other companies engaged in similar businesses, have incurred remedial response and voluntary cleanup costs for site contamination and are a party to lawsuits and claims associated with environmental matters, including past production of products containing toxic substances. Additional lawsuits, claims and costs involving environmental matters are likely to continue to arise in the future.
With respect to environmental matters involving site contamination, we continually conduct studies, individually at our owned sites, and jointly as a member of industry groups at non-owned sites, to determine the feasibility of various remedial techniques to address environmental matters. With respect to environmental matters involving the production of products containing toxic substances, we believe that the costs of defending and resolving such matters will be largely covered by insurance, subject to deductibles, exclusions, retentions and policy limits. It is our policy (see 'Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data' in Note 1 of Notes to Financial Statements) to record appropriate liabilities
for environmental matters when environmental assessments are made or remedial efforts or damage claim payments are probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. With respect to site contamination, the timing of these accruals is generally no later than the completion of feasibility studies. We expect that we will be able to fund expenditures for these matters from operating cash flow. The timing of cash expenditures depends on a number of factors, including the timing of litigation and settlements of personal injury and property damage claims, insurance recoveries, regulatory approval of cleanup projects, remedial techniques to be utilized and agreements with other parties.
Remedial response and voluntary cleanup expenditures were $82, $75 and $78 million in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively, and are currently estimated to be approximately $77 million in 2002. We expect that we will be able to fund such expenditures from operating cash flow.
Remedial response and voluntary cleanup costs charged against pretax earnings were $152, $110 and $23 million in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. At December 31, 2001 and 2000, the recorded liability for environmental matters was $456 and $386 million, respectively. In addition, in 2001 and 2000 we incurred operating costs for ongoing businesses of approximately $75 and $80 million, respectively, relating to compliance with environmental regulations.
Although we do not currently possess sufficient information to reasonably estimate the amounts of liabilities to be recorded upon future completion of studies, litigation or settlements, and neither the timing nor the amount of the ultimate costs associated with environmental matters can be determined, they could be material to our consolidated results of operations. However, considering our past experience, insurance coverage and reserves, we do not expect that environmental matters will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position.
See 'Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data' in Note 5 of Notes to Financial Statements for a discussion of our legal and environmental charges and in Note 22 of Notes to Financial Statements for a discussion of our commitments and contingencies, including those related to environmental matters and toxic tort litigation.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
As a result of our global operating and financing activities, we are exposed to market risks from changes in interest and foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices, which may adversely affect our operating results and financial position. We minimize our risks from interest and foreign currency exchange rate and commodity price fluctuations through our normal operating and financing activities and, when deemed appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes and do not use leveraged derivative financial instruments. A summary of our accounting policies for derivative financial instruments is included in 'Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data' in Note 1 of Notes to Financial Statements.
We conduct our business on a multinational basis in a wide variety of foreign currencies. Our exposure to market risk for changes in foreign currency exchange rates arises from international financing activities between subsidiaries, foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities and anticipated transactions arising from international trade. Our objective is to preserve the economic value of cash flows in non-functional currencies. We attempt to have all transaction exposures hedged with natural offsets to the fullest extent possible and, once these opportunities have been exhausted, through foreign currency forward and option agreements with third parties. Our principal currency exposures relate to the Euro countries, the British pound, the Canadian dollar, and the U.S. dollar.
Our exposure to market risk from changes in interest rates relates primarily to our debt obligations. As described in 'Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data' in Notes 16 and 18 of Notes to Financial Statements, we issue both fixed and variable rate debt and use interest rate swaps to manage our exposure to interest rate movements and reduce overall borrowing costs.
Financial instruments, including derivatives, expose us to counterparty credit risk for nonperformance and to market risk related to changes in interest or currency exchange rates. We manage our exposure to counterparty credit risk through specific minimum credit standards, diversification of counterparties, and procedures to monitor concentrations of credit risk. Our counterparties are
substantial investment and commercial banks with significant experience using such derivative instruments. We monitor the impact of market risk on the fair value and cash flows of our derivative and other financial instruments considering reasonably possible changes in interest and currency exchange rates and restrict the use of derivative financial instruments to hedging activities.
The following table illustrates the potential change in fair value for interest rate sensitive instruments based on a hypothetical immediate one-percentage-point increase in interest rates across all maturities, the potential change in fair value for foreign exchange rate sensitive instruments based on a 10 percent increase in U.S. dollar per local currency exchange rates across all maturities, and the potential change in fair value of contracts hedging commodity purchases based on a 20 percent decrease in the price of the underlying commodity across all maturities at December 31, 2001 and 2000.
- ---------
(1) Asset or (liability).
(2) Excludes capitalized leases.
(3) Changes in the fair value of foreign currency exchange contracts are offset by changes in the fair value or cash flows of underlying hedged foreign currency transactions.
(4) Changes in the fair value of forward commodity contracts are offset by changes in the cash flows of underlying hedged commodity transactions.
The above discussion of our procedures to monitor market risk and the estimated changes in fair value resulting from our sensitivity analyses are forward-looking statements of market risk assuming certain adverse market conditions occur. Actual results in the future may differ materially from these estimated results due to actual developments in the global financial markets. The methods used by us to assess and mitigate risk discussed above should not be considered projections of future events.
OTHER MATTERS
LITIGATION
See 'Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data' in Note 22 of Notes to Financial Statements for a discussion of litigation matters.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make complex and subjective judgments in the selection and application of accounting policies. 'Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary
Data' in Note 1 of Notes to Financial Statements contains a detailed summary of our significant accounting policies. We believe that a number of our accounting policies are critical to understanding our financial position and results of operations. Following is a summary of those accounting policies that we believe are our critical accounting policies, the judgments and uncertainties affecting the application of those policies, and the likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions.
SALES RECOGNITION -- Product and service sales are recognized when an agreement of sale exists, product delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, pricing is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured. Sales under long-term contracts in the Aerospace and Automation and Control Solutions segments are recorded on a percentage-of-completion method measured on the cost-to-cost basis for engineering-type contracts and the units-of-delivery basis for production-type contracts. Provisions for anticipated losses on long-term contracts are recorded in full when such losses become evident.
We apply judgment to ensure that the criteria for recognizing sales are consistently applied and achieved for all recognized sales transactions. Upon recognizing long-term contract sales, judgment must be applied to ensure that anticipated losses are properly recognized in the period that they become evident. Long-term contract loss experience is dependent upon the economic health of our customers who are principally in the Aerospace and Automation and Control segments, as well as our ability to estimate contract cost inputs and perform according to contract terms and conditions. We believe that all relevant conditions and assumptions are considered when recognizing sales and contract losses.
ACCOUNTING FOR CONTINGENT LIABILITIES -- We are subject to a number of lawsuits, investigations and claims (some of which involve substantial dollar amounts) that arise out of the conduct of our global business operations. These contingencies relate to commercial transactions, government contracts, product liabilities, and environmental health and safety matters. As enumerated in 'Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data' in Notes 1 and 22 of Notes to Financial Statements, we recognize a liability for any contingency that is probable of occurrence and reasonably estimable based on our judgment. Although it is impossible to predict the outcome of any lawsuit, investigation or claim, 'Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data' in Note 22 of Notes to Financial Statements provides a summary of all material contingencies currently pending against us and our expectations related to the financial outcome of each contingency.
LONG-LIVED ASSETS (INCLUDING TANGIBLE AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL) -- To conduct our global business operations and execute our strategy, we acquire tangible and intangible assets. We periodically evaluate the recoverability of the carrying amount of our long-lived assets (including property, plant and equipment, goodwill and other intangible assets) whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. An impairment is assessed when the undiscounted expected future cash flows derived from an asset are less than its carrying amount. Impairment losses are measured as the amount by which the carrying value of an asset exceeds its fair value and are recognized in operating earnings. We continually apply our best judgment when applying these impairment rules to determine the timing of the impairment test, the undiscounted cash flows used to assess impairments, and the fair value of an impaired asset. The dynamic economic environment in which each of our businesses operate and the resulting assumptions used to estimate future cash flows impact the outcome of all impairment tests.
PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS -- We maintain pension plans covering a majority of our employees and retirees, and postretirement benefit plans for retirees that include health care benefits and life insurance coverage (see 'Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data' in Note 23 of Notes to Financial Statements for additional details). For financial reporting purposes, net periodic pension and other postretirement benefit costs (income) are calculated based upon a number of actuarial assumptions including a discount rate for plan obligations, assumed rate of return on pension plan assets, assumed annual rate of compensation increase for plan employees, and an annual rate of increase in the per capita costs of covered postretirement healthcare benefits. Each of these assumptions is based upon our judgment, considering all known trends and uncertainties. Actual asset returns for our pension plans significantly below our assumed rate of return would result in lower
net periodic pension income (or higher expense) in future years. Actual annual rates of increase in the per capita costs of covered postretirement healthcare benefits above assumed rates of increase would result in higher net periodic postretirement benefit costs in future years.
EURO CONVERSION
On January 1, 1999, certain member countries of the European Union established fixed conversion rates between their existing currencies and the European Union's common currency (Euro). The transition period for the introduction of the Euro was between January 1, 1999 and January 1, 2002. We are ensuring that Euro conversion compliance issues are addressed and do not expect any adverse consequences.
SALES TO THE U.S. GOVERNMENT
Sales to the U.S. Government, acting through its various departments and agencies and through prime contractors, amounted to $2,491, $2,219 and $2,383 million in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. This included sales to the Department of Defense (DoD), as a prime contractor and subcontractor, of $1,631, $1,548 and $1,415 million in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Sales to the DoD accounted for 6.9, 6.2 and 6.0 percent of our total sales in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. We are affected by U.S. Government budget constraints for defense and space programs. U.S. defense spending increased in 2001 and is also expected to increase in 2002.
BACKLOG
Our total backlog at year-end 2001 and 2000 was $7,178 and $8,094 million, respectively. We anticipate that approximately $5,375 million of the 2001 backlog will be filled in 2002. We believe that backlog is not necessarily a reliable indicator of our future sales because a substantial portion of the orders constituting this backlog may be canceled at the customer's option.
INFLATION
Highly competitive market conditions have minimized inflation's impact on the selling prices of our products and the costs of our purchased materials. Cost increases for materials and labor have generally been low, and productivity enhancement programs, including Six Sigma initiatives, have largely offset any impact.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
NOTE 1 -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC. is a diversified technology and manufacturing company, serving customers worldwide with aerospace products and services, control technologies for buildings, homes and industry, automotive products, specialty chemicals, fibers, plastics and electronic and advanced materials. As described in Note 2, Honeywell International Inc. was formed upon the merger of AlliedSignal Inc. and Honeywell Inc. in 1999. The following is a description of the significant accounting policies of Honeywell International Inc.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION -- The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Honeywell International Inc. and all of its subsidiaries in which a controlling interest is maintained. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.
INVENTORIES -- Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out or the average cost method and the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method for certain qualifying domestic inventories.
INVESTMENTS -- Investments in affiliates over which we have a significant influence, but not a controlling interest, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Other investments are carried at market value, if readily determinable, or cost. All equity investments are periodically reviewed to determine if declines in fair value below cost basis are other-than-temporary. Significant and sustained decreases in quoted market prices and a series of historic and projected operating losses by investees are considered in the review. If the decline in fair value is determined to be other-than-temporary, an impairment loss is recorded and the investment is written down to a new cost basis.
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT -- Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. For financial reporting, the straight- line method of depreciation is used over the estimated useful lives of 10 to 40 years for buildings and improvements and 3 to 15 years for machinery and equipment.
GOODWILL -- Goodwill represents the excess of acquisition costs over the fair value of net assets of businesses acquired and is amortized on a straight-line basis over appropriate periods up to 40 years. Accumulated amortization was $1,148 and $974 million at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS -- Other intangible assets include investments in long-term contracts, patents, trademarks, customer lists and other items amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected period benefited by future cash inflows up to 25 years. Accumulated amortization was $548 and $498 million at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
LONG-LIVED ASSETS -- We periodically evaluate the recoverability of the carrying amount of long-lived assets (including property, plant and equipment, goodwill and other intangible assets) whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. An impairment is assessed when the undiscounted expected future cash flows derived from an asset are less than its carrying amount. Impairment losses are measured as the amount by which the carrying value of an asset exceeds its fair value and are recognized in operating earnings. We also continually evaluate the estimated useful lives of all long-lived assets and periodically revise such estimates based on current events.
SALES RECOGNITION -- Product and service sales are recognized when an agreement of sale exists, product delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, pricing is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured. Sales under long-term contracts in the Aerospace and Automation and Control Solutions segments are recorded on a percentage-of-completion method measured on the cost-to-cost basis for engineering-type contracts and the units-of-delivery basis for production-type contracts. Provisions for anticipated losses on long-term contracts are recorded in full when such losses become evident.

ENVIRONMENTAL EXPENDITURES -- Environmental expenditures that relate to current operations are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations, and that do not provide future benefits, are expensed as incurred. Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments are made or remedial efforts are probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. The timing of these accruals is generally no later than the completion of feasibility studies. The liabilities for environmental costs recorded in Accrued Liabilities and Other Liabilities at December 31, 2001 were $81 and $375 million, respectively, and at December 31, 2000 were $171 and $215 million, respectively.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION -- Assets and liabilities of subsidiaries operating outside the United States with a functional currency other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars using year-end exchange rates. Sales, costs and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates effective during the year. Foreign currency translation gains and losses are included as a component of Accumulated Other Nonowner Changes. For subsidiaries operating in highly inflationary environments, inventories and property, plant and equipment, including related expenses, are remeasured at the exchange rate in effect on the date the assets were acquired, while monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured at year-end exchange rates. Remeasurement adjustments for these operations are included in earnings.
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES -- Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, 'Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities', as amended (SFAS No. 133), is effective January 1, 2001. Under SFAS No. 133, all derivatives are recorded on the balance sheet as assets or liabilities and measured at fair value. For derivatives designated as hedges of the fair value of assets or liabilities, the changes in fair values of both the derivatives and the hedged items are recorded in current earnings. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the changes in fair value of the derivatives are recorded in Accumulated Other Nonowner Changes and subsequently recognized in earnings when the hedged items impact income. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated as hedges and the ineffective portion of cash flow hedges are recorded in current earnings.
Our adoption of SFAS No. 133 as of January 1, 2001 resulted in a cumulative effect adjustment of $1 million of income that is included in Other (Income) Expense. This accounting change impacts only the pattern and timing of non-cash accounting recognition for derivatives and did not significantly impact 2001 operating results.
TRANSFERS OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS -- Sales, transfers and securitization of financial instruments are accounted for under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140, 'Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities.' We sell interests in designated pools of trade accounts receivables to a third party. The receivables are removed from the Consolidated Balance Sheet at the time they are sold. The value assigned to undivided interests retained in trade receivables sold is based on the relative fair values of the interests retained and sold. The carrying value of the retained interests approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of the receivable collection period.
INCOME TAXES -- Deferred tax liabilities or assets reflect temporary differences between amounts of assets and liabilities for financial and tax reporting. Such amounts are adjusted, as appropriate, to reflect changes in tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse. A valuation allowance is established for any deferred tax asset for which realization is not likely.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT -- Research and development costs for company- sponsored research and development projects are expensed as incurred. Such costs are classified as part of Cost of Goods Sold and were $832, $818 and $909 million in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
EARNINGS PER SHARE -- Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of
HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
common shares outstanding and all dilutive potential common shares outstanding. All earnings per share data in this report reflect earnings per share -- assuming dilution, unless otherwise indicated.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS -- Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand and on deposit and highly liquid, temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less.
USE OF ESTIMATES -- The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and related disclosures in the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates and assumptions are periodically reviewed and the effects of revisions are reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the period they are determined to be necessary.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS -- In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, 'Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets' (SFAS No. 144), the provisions of which are effective for us on January 1, 2002. SFAS No. 144 provides guidance on the accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. The adoption of the provisions of SFAS No. 144 will not have a material effect on our consolidated results of operations and financial position.
In June 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143, 'Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations' (SFAS No. 143), the provisions of which are effective for us on January 1, 2003. SFAS No. 143 requires entities to recognize the fair value of a liability for tangible long-lived asset retirement obligations in the period incurred, if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. We are currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of the provisions of SFAS No. 143 will have on our consolidated results of operations and financial position.
In June 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, 'Business Combinations' (SFAS No. 141), and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, 'Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets' (SFAS No. 142). SFAS No. 141 requires that all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 be accounted for using the purchase method only and that certain acquired intangible assets in a business combination be recognized as assets apart from goodwill. We adopted SFAS No. 141 in 2001, which did not have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations and financial condition. SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill and certain other intangible assets having indefinite lives no longer be amortized to income, but instead be replaced with periodic testing for impairment. Intangible assets determined to have definite lives will continue to be amortized over their useful lives. The amortization and non-amortization provisions of SFAS No. 142 have been applied to any goodwill and intangible assets acquired after June 30, 2001. With respect to goodwill and intangible assets acquired prior to July 1, 2001, we are required to adopt SFAS No. 142 effective January 1, 2002. We are currently evaluating the effect, if any, of the application of the goodwill impairment provisions of SFAS No. 142 on our consolidated results of operations and financial condition. In 2001, amortization expense for goodwill and other intangible assets having indefinite lives was approximately $196 million after tax, or $0.24 per share.
RECLASSIFICATIONS -- Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.
NOTE 2 -- ALLIEDSIGNAL - HONEYWELL MERGER
On December 1, 1999, AlliedSignal Inc. (AlliedSignal) and Honeywell Inc. (former Honeywell) completed a merger under an Agreement and Plan of Merger (Merger Agreement) dated as of June 4, 1999. Under the Merger Agreement, a wholly-owned subsidiary of AlliedSignal merged with and into the former Honeywell. As a result of the merger, the former Honeywell became a wholly-owned
HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
subsidiary of AlliedSignal. At the effective time of the merger AlliedSignal was renamed Honeywell International Inc. (Honeywell).
The former Honeywell shareowners received 1.875 shares of Honeywell common stock for each share of the former Honeywell common stock with cash paid in lieu of any fractional shares. As a result, former Honeywell shareowners received approximately 241 million shares of Honeywell common stock valued at approximately $15 billion at the merger date. In addition, outstanding former Honeywell employee stock options were converted at the same exchange factor into options to purchase approximately 10 million shares of Honeywell common stock.
The merger qualified as a tax-free reorganization and was accounted for under the pooling-of-interests accounting method. Accordingly, Honeywell's consolidated financial statements have been restated for all periods prior to the merger to include the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of the former Honeywell as though it had always been a part of Honeywell.
There were no material transactions between AlliedSignal and the former Honeywell prior to the merger, and there were no material adjustments to conform the accounting policies of the combining companies.
The net sales and net income previously reported by the separate companies and the combined amounts presented in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations were as follows:
As described in Note 5, fees and expenses related to the merger and costs to integrate the combined companies were expensed in the fourth quarter of 1999.
NOTE 3 -- ACQUISITIONS
In addition to the pooling-of-interests transaction discussed in Note 2, we acquired businesses for an aggregate cost of $122, $2,646 and $1,314 million in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The following table presents information about the more significant acquisitions (there were no significant acquisitions in 2001):
(footnotes on next page)
HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
(footnotes from previous page)
(1) Pittway Corporation designs, manufactures and distributes security and fire systems for homes and buildings.
(2) Johnson Matthey Electronics supplies wafer fabrication materials and interconnect products to the electronics and telecommunications industries.
(3) TriStar Aerospace Co. distributes fasteners, fastening systems and related hardware and provides customized inventory management services to original equipment manufacturers of aircraft and aircraft components, commercial airlines and aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul facilities.
All the acquisitions were accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, and accordingly, the assets and liabilities of the acquired businesses were recorded at their estimated fair values at the dates of acquisition. The excess of purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired, of $42, $1,678 and $678 million in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively, was recorded as goodwill and is being amortized over estimated useful lives. In connection with these acquisitions the amounts recorded for transaction costs and the costs of integrating the acquired businesses into Honeywell were not material. The results of operations of the acquired businesses have been included in the consolidated results of Honeywell from their respective acquisition dates. The pro forma results for 2001, 2000 and 1999, assuming these acquisitions had been made at the beginning of the year, would not be materially different from reported results.
NOTE 4 -- HONEYWELL-GENERAL ELECTRIC MERGER
On October 22, 2000, Honeywell and General Electric Company (GE) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (Merger Agreement) providing for a business combination between Honeywell and GE. On July 3, 2001, the European Commission issued its decision prohibiting the proposed merger. Approval by the European Commission was a condition for completion of the merger. On October 2, 2001, Honeywell and GE terminated the Merger Agreement by mutual consent and released each other from claims arising out of the Merger Agreement.
NOTE 5 -- MERGER, REPOSITIONING AND OTHER CHARGES
In 2001, we recognized a repositioning charge of $1,016 million for the cost of actions designed to reduce our cost structure and improve our future profitability. These actions consisted of announced global workforce reductions of approximately 20,000 manufacturing and administrative positions across all of our reportable segments of which approximately 15,000 positions have been eliminated as of December 31, 2001. These actions are expected to be completed by September 30, 2002. The repositioning charge also included asset impairments and other exit costs related to plant closures and the rationalization of manufacturing capacity and infrastructure, principally in our Specialty Materials, Engines, Systems and Services and Transportation and Power Systems businesses, including the shutdown of our Turbogenerator product line. The components of the charge included severance costs of $727 million, asset impairments of $194 million and other exit costs of $95 million consisting of contract cancellations and penalties, including lease terminations, negotiated or subject to reasonable estimation. Also, $119 million of previously established accruals, mainly for severance, were returned to income in 2001 due principally to higher than expected voluntary employee attrition resulting in reduced severance liabilities, principally in our Aerospace and Automation and Control Solutions reportable segments.
In 2000, we recognized a repositioning charge of $239 million related to announced global workforce reductions across all of our reportable segments, costs to close a chip package manufacturing plant and related workforce reductions, and other asset impairments principally associated with the completion of previously announced plant shut-downs in our Specialty Materials
HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
reportable segment. The components of the repositioning charge included severance costs of $151 million and asset impairments of $88 million. The announced workforce reductions consisted of approximately 2,800 manufacturing and administrative positions, which are complete. Asset impairments were principally related to manufacturing plant and equipment held for sale and capable of being taken out of service and actively marketed in the period of impairment. Also, $46 million of previously established accruals, principally for severance, were returned to income in 2000 due to higher than expected voluntary employee attrition resulting in reduced severance liabilities, principally in our Automation and Control Solutions and Aerospace reportable segments. We also recognized a repositioning charge of $99 million in equity in (income) loss of affiliated companies for costs to close an affiliate's chemical manufacturing operations. The components of the repositioning charge included severance costs of $6 million, asset impairments of $53 million, and other environmental exit costs and period expenses of $40 million.
In 1999, upon completion of the merger between AlliedSignal and the former Honeywell, we recognized a repositioning charge of $642 million for the cost of actions designed to improve our combined competitiveness, productivity and future profitability. The merger-related actions included the elimination of redundant corporate offices and functional administrative overhead; elimination of redundant and excess facilities and workforce in our combined aerospace businesses; adoption of Six Sigma productivity initiatives at the former Honeywell businesses; and, the transition to a global shared services model. The components of the repositioning charge included severance costs of $342 million, asset impairments of $108 million, other exit costs of $57 million and merger-related transaction and period expenses of $135 million. Global workforce reductions consisted of approximately 6,500 administrative and manufacturing positions, which are complete. Asset impairments were principally related to the elimination of redundant or excess corporate and aerospace facilities and equipment. Other exit costs were related to lease terminations and contract cancellation losses negotiated or subject to reasonable estimation at year-end. Merger-related transaction and period expenses consisted of investment banking and legal fees, former Honeywell deferred compensation vested upon change in control and other direct merger-related expenses incurred in the period the merger was completed. All merger-related actions are complete.
In 1999, we also recognized a repositioning charge of $321 million for the cost of actions designed to reposition principally the AlliedSignal businesses for improved productivity and future profitability. These repositioning actions included the organizational realignment of our aerospace businesses to strengthen market focus and simplify business structure; elimination of an unprofitable product line, closing of a wax refinery and carbon materials plant and rationalization of manufacturing capacity and infrastructure in our Specialty Materials reportable segment; a reduction in the infrastructure in our Garrett Engine Boosting Systems business; elimination of two manufacturing facilities in our Electronic Materials business; a plant closure and outsourcing activity in our automotive Consumer Products Group business; and related and general workforce reductions in all AlliedSignal businesses and our Automation and Control Solutions reportable segment. The components of the repositioning charge included severance costs of $140 million, asset impairments of $149 million, and other exit costs of $32 million. Global workforce reductions consisted of approximately 5,100 manufacturing, administrative, and sales positions, which are complete. Asset impairments were principally related to manufacturing plant and equipment held for sale and capable of being taken out of service and actively marketed in the period of impairment. Other exit costs principally consisted of environmental exit costs associated with chemical plant shutdowns. All repositioning actions, excluding environmental remediation, are complete.
HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
The following table summarizes the status of our total merger and repositioning costs.
In 2001, we recognized other charges consisting of a settlement of the Litton Systems, Inc. litigation for $440 million (see Note 22 for further discussion), probable and reasonably estimable legal and environmental claims of $408 million (see Note 22 for further discussion), customer claims and settlements of contract liabilities of $310 million and write-offs principally related to asset impairments, including receivables and inventories, of $335 million. In 2001, we adopted a plan to dispose of our Friction Materials business and held discussions with a potential acquiror of the business. The Friction Materials business was designated as held for disposal, and we recognized an impairment charge of $145 million related to the write-down of property, plant and equipment, goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets to their fair value less costs to sell. We recognized charges of $112 million related to an other than temporary decline in the value of an equity investment and an equity investee's loss contract and a $100 million charge for write-off of investments, including inventory, related to a regional jet engine contract cancellation. We also recognized $42 million of transaction expenses related to the proposed merger with GE and redeemed our $200 million 5 3/4% dealer remarketable securities due 2011, resulting in a loss of $6 million.
In 2000, we identified certain business units and manufacturing facilities as non-core to our business strategy. As a result of this assessment, we implemented cost reduction initiatives and conducted discussions with potential acquirors of these businesses and assets. As part of this process, we evaluated the businesses and assets for possible impairment. As a result of our analysis, we recognized impairment charges in 2000 of $245 and $165 million principally related to the write-down of property, plant and equipment, goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets of our Friction Materials business and a chemical manufacturing facility, respectively. We recognized other charges consisting of probable and reasonably estimable environmental liabilities of $87 million, and contract claims, merger-related period expenses, other contingencies, and write-offs of tangible assets removed from service, including inventory, totaling $140 million. In addition, we recognized a charge of $37 million for costs principally related to an equity investee's customer claims.
In 1999, we recognized other charges consisting of losses on aerospace engine maintenance contracts and a contract cancellation penalty totaling $45 million, customer and employee claims of $69 million, contract settlements and contingent liabilities of $18 million, and other write-offs principally related to tangible and intangible assets removed from service, including inventory, of $152 million. We also recognized a $36 million charge resulting from an other than temporary decline in value of an equity investment due to a significant deterioration in market conditions and a $4 million charge related to an equity investee's severance action involving approximately 220 employees.

The following table summarizes the pretax distribution of total merger, repositioning and other charges by income statement classification.
NOTE 6 -- GAIN ON SALE OF NON-STRATEGIC BUSINESSES
In 2001 Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems (BCVS) was designated as held for disposal, and in January 2002, we reached an agreement in principle with Knorr-Bremse AG (Knorr) to transfer our global interests in BCVS to Knorr. The transfer is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2002. At December 31, 2001, the assets of BCVS of approximately $173 million were classified in Other Current Assets. BCVS had sales and segment profit of approximately $375 and $57 million, respectively, in 2001.
In 2000, as a result of a government mandate in connection with the merger of AlliedSignal and the former Honeywell, we sold the TCAS product line of the former Honeywell. We received approximately $215 million in cash resulting in a pretax gain of $112 million. The TCAS product line had annual sales of approximately $100 million.
In 1999, we sold our Laminate Systems business for approximately $425 million in cash resulting in a pretax gain of $106 million. The Laminate Systems business had annual sales of about $400 million.
NOTE 7 -- OTHER (INCOME) EXPENSE
In April 1999, we reached an agreement with Tyco International Ltd. (Tyco) and AMP Incorporated (AMP), settling AMP's claim to the gain we would realize on the disposition of our investment in AMP common stock. We made a payment to AMP of $50 million, and the parties released all claims that they had against each other relating to AMP. Subsequently, we converted our investment in AMP
HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC.

common stock into Tyco common stock and sold the Tyco common stock for net cash proceeds of $1.2 billion resulting in a pretax gain of $268 million, net of the settlement payment.
NOTE 8 -- INTEREST AND OTHER FINANCIAL CHARGES
Cash payments of interest during the years 2001, 2000 and 1999 were $297, $573 and $328 million, respectively.
The weighted average interest rate on short-term borrowings and commercial paper outstanding at December 31, 2001 and 2000 was 7.46 and 6.60 percent, respectively.

The amount of federal tax net operating losses available for carryback or carryforward at December 31, 2001 was $625 million, including $507 million generated in 2001. The current year's loss can be carried back two years or carried forward twenty years. Also, included are $118 million of loss carryforwards that were generated by certain subsidiaries prior to their acquisition and have expiration

dates through 2019. The use of pre-acquisition operating losses is subject to limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code. We do not anticipate that these limitations will affect utilization of the carryforwards prior to their expiration. We also have foreign net operating losses of $807 million which are available to reduce future income tax payments in several countries, subject to varying expiration rules.
We have U.S. tax credit carryforwards of $167 million at December 31, 2001, including carryforwards of $124 million with various expiration dates, and tax credits of $43 million which are not subject to expiration.
The increase in the valuation allowance of $47 million in 2001 is primarily due to an increase in foreign net operating losses attributable to a Specialty Material's business that are not expected to be utilized.
Deferred income taxes have not been provided on approximately $2.0 billion of undistributed earnings of foreign affiliated companies, which are considered to be permanently reinvested. It is not practicable to estimate the amount of tax that might be payable on the eventual remittance of such earnings.
Cash payments of income taxes during the years 2001, 2000 and 1999 were $79, $442 and $625 million, respectively.
NOTE 10 -- EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
The following table sets forth the computations of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share:
As a result of the net loss for 2001, 4,269,601 of dilutive securities issuable in connection with stock plans have been excluded from the diluted loss per share calculation because their effect would reduce the loss per share. In 2000 and 1999, the diluted earnings per share calculation excludes the effect of stock options when the options' exercise prices exceed the average market price of the common shares during the period. In 2000 and 1999, the number of stock options not included in the computations was 14,563,673 and 868,631, respectively. These stock options were outstanding at the end of each of the respective years.

NOTE 11 -- ACCOUNTS AND NOTES RECEIVABLE
We sell interests in designated pools of trade accounts receivables to a third party. The sold receivables are over-collateralized and we retain an interest in the pool of receivables representing that over-collateralization. New receivables are sold under the agreement as previously sold receivables are collected. Losses are recognized when our interest in the receivables are sold. The retained interest in the receivables is shown at the amounts expected to be collected by us, and such carrying value approximates the fair value of our retained interest. We are compensated for our services in the collection and administration of the receivables.
Losses on sales of receivables were $22, $34 and $28 million in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. No credit losses were incurred during those years.
NOTE 12 -- INVENTORIES
Inventories valued at LIFO amounted to $112 and $167 million at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Had such LIFO inventories been valued at current costs, their carrying values would have been approximately $116 and $129 million higher at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

NOTE 16 -- LONG-TERM DEBT AND CREDIT AGREEMENTS
The schedule of principal payments on long-term debt is as follows:
We maintain $2 billion of bank revolving credit facilities with a group of banks which are comprised of: (a) a $1 billion Five-Year Credit Agreement and (b) a $1 billion 364-Day Credit Agreement. The credit agreements are maintained for general corporate purposes including support for the issuance of commercial paper. We had no balance outstanding under either agreement at December 31, 2001.
Neither of the credit agreements restricts our ability to pay dividends and neither contains financial covenants. The failure to comply with customary conditions or the occurrence of customary events of default contained in the credit agreements would prevent any further borrowings and would generally require the repayments of any outstanding borrowings under such credit agreements. Such events of default include (a) non-payment of credit agreement debt and interest, (b) non-compliance with the terms of the credit agreement covenants, (c) default on other debt in certain circumstances, (d) bankruptcy and (e) defaults upon obligations under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act. Additionally, each of the banks has the right to terminate its commitment to lend under the credit
HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
agreements if any person or group acquires beneficial ownership of 30 percent or more of our voting stock or, during any 12-month period, individuals who were directors of Honeywell at the beginning of the period cease to constitute a majority of the Board of Directors (the Board).
Loans under the Five-Year Credit Agreement are required to be repaid no later than December 2, 2004. We have agreed to pay a facility fee of 0.065 percent per annum on the aggregate commitment for the Five-Year Credit Agreement.
Interest on borrowings under the Five-Year Credit Agreement would be determined, at our option, by (a) an auction bidding procedure; (b) the highest of the floating base rate of the agent bank, 0.5 percent above the average CD rate, or 0.5 percent above the Federal funds rate or (c) the Eurocurrency rate plus 0.135 percent (applicable margin).
The commitments under the 364-Day Credit Agreement terminate on November 28, 2002. Annually, prior to the Agreement's anniversary date, we may request that the termination date of the 364-Day Credit Agreement be extended by 364 days. We have agreed to pay a facility fee of 0.06 percent per annum on the aggregate commitment for the 364-Day Credit Agreement, and we have paid upfront fees of 0.04 percent.
Interest on borrowings under the 364-Day Credit Agreement would be determined, at our option, by (a) an auction bidding procedure; (b) the highest of the floating base rate of the agent bank, 0.5 percent above the average CD rate, or 0.5 percent above the Federal funds rate or (c) the Eurocurrency rate plus 0.24 percent (applicable margin).
The facility fee and the applicable margin over the Eurocurrency rate on both the Five-Year Credit Agreement and the 364-Day Credit Agreement are subject to increase or decrease if our long-term debt ratings change, but the revolving credit facilities are not subject to termination based on a decrease in our debt ratings.
NOTE 17 -- LEASE COMMITMENTS
Future minimum lease payments under operating leases having initial or remaining noncancellable lease terms in excess of one year are as follows:
We have entered into agreements to lease land, equipment and buildings. Principally all our operating leases have initial terms of up to 25 years, and some contain renewal options subject to customary conditions. At any time during the terms of some of our leases, we may at our option purchase the leased assets for amounts that approximate fair value. If we elect not to purchase the assets at the end of each such lease, we have guaranteed the residual values of the underlying assets (principally aircraft, equipment, buildings and land), totaling approximately $349 million at December 31, 2001. We do not expect that any of our commitments under the lease agreements will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity.
Rent expense was $321, $306 and $291 million in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

NOTE 18 -- FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
As a result of our global operating and financing activities, we are exposed to market risks from changes in interest and foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices, which may adversely affect our operating results and financial position. We minimize our risks from interest and foreign currency exchange rate and commodity price fluctuations through our normal operating and financing activities and, when deemed appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments.
CREDIT AND MARKET RISK -- Financial instruments, including derivatives, expose us to counterparty credit risk for nonperformance and to market risk related to changes in interest or currency exchange rates. We manage our exposure to counterparty credit risk through specific minimum credit standards, diversification of counterparties, and procedures to monitor concentrations of credit risk. Our counterparties are substantial investment and commercial banks with significant experience using such derivative instruments. We monitor the impact of market risk on the fair value and cash flows of our derivative and other financial instruments considering reasonably possible changes in interest and currency exchange rates and restrict the use of derivative financial instruments to hedging activities. We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes and do not use leveraged derivative financial instruments.
We continually monitor the creditworthiness of our customers to which we grant credit terms in the normal course of business. While concentrations of credit risk associated with our trade accounts and notes receivable are considered minimal due to our diverse customer base, a significant portion of our customers are in the commercial aviation industry (aircraft manufacturers and airlines) accounting for approximately 19 percent of our consolidated sales in 2001. Following the abrupt downturn in the aviation industry after the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 and the already weak economy, we modified terms and conditions of our credit sales to mitigate or eliminate concentrations of credit risk with any single customer. Our sales are not materially dependent on a single customer or a small group of customers.
FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK MANAGEMENT -- We conduct our business on a multinational basis in a wide variety of foreign currencies. Our exposure to market risk for changes in foreign currency exchange rates arises from international financing activities between subsidiaries, foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities and anticipated transactions arising from international trade. Our objective is to preserve the economic value of cash flows in non-functional currencies. We attempt to have all transaction exposures hedged with natural offsets to the fullest extent possible and, once these opportunities have been exhausted, through foreign currency forward and option agreements with third parties. Our principal currency exposures relate to the Euro countries, the British pound, the Canadian dollar, and the U.S. dollar.
We hedge monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. Prior to conversion into U.S dollars, these assets and liabilities are remeasured at spot exchange rates in effect on the balance sheet date. The effects of changes in spot rates are recognized in earnings and included in Other (Income) Expense. We hedge our exposure to changes in foreign exchange rates principally with forward contracts. Forward contracts are marked-to-market with the resulting gains and losses similarly recognized in earnings offsetting the gains and losses on the foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities being hedged.
We partially hedge forecasted 2002 sales and purchases denominated in foreign currencies with currency forward contracts. When the dollar strengthens against foreign currencies, the decline in value of forecasted foreign currency cash inflows (sales) or outflows (purchases) is partially offset by the recognition of gains (sales) and losses (purchases), respectively, in the value of the forward contracts designated as hedges. Conversely, when the dollar weakens against foreign currencies, the increase in value of forecasted foreign currency cash inflows (sales) or outflows (purchases) is partially offset by the recognition of losses (sales) and gains (purchases), respectively, in the value of the forward
HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
contracts designated as hedges. Market value gains and losses on these contracts are recognized in earnings when the hedged transaction is recognized. Deferred gains and losses on forward contracts, used to hedge forecasted sales and purchases, were $2 and $2 million, respectively, at December 31, 2001. The deferred gains and losses are expected to be reclassified into Sales and Cost of Goods Sold within the next twelve months. All open forward contracts mature by December 31, 2002.
At December 31, 2001 and 2000, we had contracts with notional amounts of $1,507 and $1,542 million, respectively, to exchange foreign currencies, principally in the Euro countries and Great Britain.
COMMODITY PRICE RISK MANAGEMENT -- Our exposure to market risk for commodity prices arises from changes in our cost of production. We mitigate our exposure to commodity price risk through the use of long-term, firm-price contracts with our suppliers and forward commodity purchase agreements with third parties hedging anticipated purchases of several commodities (principally natural gas). Forward commodity purchase agreements are marked-to-market, with the resulting gains and losses recognized in earnings when the hedged transaction is recognized.
INTEREST RATE RISK MANAGEMENT -- We use a combination of financial instruments, including medium-term and short-term financing, variable-rate commercial paper, and interest rate swaps to manage the interest rate mix of our total debt portfolio and related overall cost of borrowing. At December 31, 2001 and 2000, interest rate swap agreements designated as fair value hedges effectively changed $1,096 and $1,600 million, respectively, of fixed rate debt at an average rate of 6.55 and 7.10 percent, respectively, to LIBOR based floating rate debt. Our interest rate swaps mature through 2007.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS -- The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts and notes receivables, payables, commercial paper and short-term borrowings contained in the Consolidated Balance Sheet approximates fair value. Summarized below are the carrying values and fair values of our other financial instruments at December 31, 2001 and 2000. The fair values are based on the quoted market prices for the issues (if traded), current rates offered to us for debt of the same remaining maturity and characteristics, or other valuation techniques, as appropriate.

There were 26,998,346 and 30,927,704 options exercisable at weighted average exercise prices of $32.06 and $27.21 at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. There were 9,948,269 shares available for future grants under the terms of our stock option plans at December 31, 2001.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, 'Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,' (SFAS No. 123) requires that the cost of stock-based compensation be measured using a fair value based method. As permitted by SFAS No. 123, we elected to continue to account for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value based method under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, 'Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.' Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for our fixed stock option plans. The following table sets forth pro forma information, including related assumptions, as if compensation cost had been determined consistent with the requirements of SFAS No. 123.

NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS' PLAN -- We also have a Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors (Directors' Plan) under which restricted shares and options are granted. Each new director receives a one-time grant of 3,000 shares of common stock, subject to specific restrictions. The Directors' Plan provides for an annual grant to each director of options to purchase 2,000 shares of common stock at the fair market value on the date of grant. We have set aside 450,000 shares for issuance under the Directors' Plan. Options generally become exercisable over a three-year period and expire after ten years.
EMPLOYEE STOCK MATCH PLANS -- We sponsor employee savings plans under which we match, in the form of our common stock, certain eligible U.S. employee savings plan contributions. Shares issued under the stock match plans were 4.9, 3.9 and 2.6 million in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively, at a cost of $185, $161 and $142 million, respectively.
NOTE 22 -- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
LITTON LITIGATION -- On March 13, 1990, Litton Systems, Inc. (Litton) filed a legal action against the former Honeywell in U.S. District Court, Central District of California, Los Angeles with claims that were subsequently split into two separate cases. One alleged patent infringement under federal law for using an ion-beam process to coat mirrors incorporated in the former Honeywell's ring laser gyroscopes and tortious interference under state law for interfering with Litton's prospective advantage with customers and contractual relationships with an inventor and his company, Ojai Research, Inc. The other case alleged monopolization and attempted monopolization under federal antitrust laws by the former Honeywell in the sale of inertial reference systems containing ring laser gyroscopes into the commercial aircraft market. On December 21, 2001, we settled the Litton legal action for $440 million, reaching a settlement agreement with Northrop Grumman (Northrop), which purchased Litton earlier in 2001. The settlement amount was included as part of Costs of Goods Sold. In December 2001, $220 million of the settlement amount was paid to Northrop with the remaining $220 million due on or before July 1, 2002. The settlement ends the patent infringement, antitrust and other claims that Litton originally brought against the former Honeywell and allows us to continue to sell ring-laser-gyroscope- based products and certain other inertial reference systems free from any claims from Northrop.
SHAREOWNER LITIGATION -- Honeywell and seven of its current and former officers were named as defendants in several purported class action lawsuits filed in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey (the Securities Law Complaints). The Securities Law Complaints principally allege that the defendants violated federal securities laws by purportedly making false and misleading statements and by failing to disclose material information concerning Honeywell's financial performance, thereby allegedly causing the value of Honeywell's stock to be artificially inflated. The purported class period for which damages are sought is December 20, 1999 to June 19, 2000. On January 15, 2002, the District Court dismissed the consolidated complaint against four of Honeywell's current and former officers.
In addition, Honeywell, seven of its current and former officers and its Board have been named as defendants in a purported shareowner derivative action which was filed on November 27, 2000 in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey (the Derivative Complaint). The Derivative Complaint alleges a single claim for breach of fiduciary duty based on nearly identical allegations to those set forth in the Securities Law Complaints.
We believe that there is no factual or legal basis for the allegations in the Securities Law Complaints and the Derivative Complaint. Although it is not possible at this time to predict the result of these cases, we expect to prevail. However, an adverse outcome could be material to our consolidated financial position or results of operations. As a result of the uncertainty regarding the outcome of this matter, no provision has been made in our financial statements with respect to this contingent liability.
HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS -- We are subject to various federal, state and local government requirements relating to the protection of employee health and safety and the environment. We believe that, as a general matter, our policies, practices and procedures are properly designed to prevent unreasonable risk of environmental damage and personal injury to our employees and employees of our customers and that our handling, manufacture, use and disposal of hazardous or toxic substances are in accord with environmental laws and regulations. However, mainly because of past operations and operations of predecessor companies, we, like other companies engaged in similar businesses, have incurred remedial response and voluntary cleanup costs for site contamination and are a party to lawsuits and claims associated with environmental matters, including past production of products containing toxic substances. Additional lawsuits, claims and costs involving environmental matters are likely to continue to arise in the future.
With respect to environmental matters involving site contamination, we continually conduct studies, individually at our owned sites, and jointly as a member of industry groups at non-owned sites, to determine the feasibility of various remedial techniques to address environmental matters. With respect to environmental matters involving the production of products containing toxic substances, we believe that the costs of defending and resolving such matters will be largely covered by insurance, subject to deductibles, exclusions, retentions and policy limits. It is our policy (see Note 1) to record appropriate liabilities for environmental matters when environmental assessments are made or remedial efforts or damage claim payments are probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. With respect to site contamination, the timing of these accruals is generally no later than the completion of feasibility studies. We expect that we will be able to fund expenditures for these matters from operating cash flow. The timing of cash expenditures depends on a number of factors, including the timing of litigation and settlements of personal injury and property damage claims, insurance recoveries, regulatory approval of cleanup projects, remedial techniques to be utilized and agreements with other parties.
Although we do not currently possess sufficient information to reasonably estimate the amounts of liabilities to be recorded upon future completion of studies, litigation or settlements, and neither the timing nor the amount of the ultimate costs associated with environmental matters can be determined, they could be material to our consolidated results of operations. However, considering our past experience, insurance coverage and reserves, we do not expect that these matters will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position.
ASBESTOS MATTERS -- Like more than a thousand other industrial companies, Honeywell is a defendant in personal injury actions related to asbestos. Our involvement is limited because we did not mine or produce asbestos, nor did we make or sell insulation products or other construction materials that have been identified as the primary cause of asbestos-related disease in the vast majority of claimants. Rather, we made several products that contained small amounts of asbestos.
Honeywell's Bendix Friction Materials business manufactured automotive brake pads that included asbestos in an encapsulated form. There is a limited group of potential claimants consisting largely of professional brake mechanics. During the twenty-year period from 1981 through 2001, we have resolved approximately 53,000 Bendix claims at an average cost per claim of one thousand dollars. Honeywell has had no out-of-pocket costs for these cases since its insurance deductible was satisfied many years ago. There are currently approximately 47,000 claims pending and we have no reason to believe that the historic rate of dismissal will change. We have $2 billion of insurance remaining.
Another source of claims is refractory products (high temperature bricks and cement) sold largely to the steel industry in the East and Midwest by North American Refractories Company (NARCO), a business we owned from 1979 to 1986. Less than 2 percent of NARCO's products contained asbestos.
When we sold the NARCO business in 1986, we agreed to indemnify NARCO with respect to personal injury claims for products that had been discontinued prior to the sale (as defined in the sale agreement). NARCO retained all liability for all other claims. NARCO has resolved approximately
HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
176,000 claims in the past 18 years at an average cost per claim of two thousand two hundred dollars. Of those claims, 43 percent were dismissed on the ground that there was insufficient evidence that NARCO was responsible for the claimant's asbestos exposure. There are approximately 116,000 claims currently pending against NARCO, including approximately 7 percent in which Honeywell is also named as a defendant. During the past 18 years, Honeywell and our insurers have contributed to the cost of the NARCO defense. We have in excess of $1.2 billion of insurance remaining that can be specifically allocated to NARCO-related liability.
On January 4, 2002, NARCO filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. As a result, all of the claims pending against NARCO are automatically stayed pending the reorganization of NARCO. In addition, because the claims pending against Honeywell necessarily will impact the liabilities of NARCO, because the insurance policies held by Honeywell are essential to a successful NARCO reorganization, and because Honeywell has offered to commit those policies to the reorganization, the bankruptcy court has temporarily enjoined any claims against Honeywell, current or future, related to NARCO. In connection with NARCO's bankruptcy filing, we paid NARCO's parent company $40 million and have agreed to provide NARCO with up to $20 million in financing. We have also agreed to pay $20 million to NARCO's parent company upon the filing of a plan of reorganization for NARCO acceptable to Honeywell, and to pay NARCO's parent company $40 million, and to forgive any outstanding NARCO indebtedness, upon the confirmation and consummation of such a plan.
We believe that, as part of the NARCO plan of reorganization, a trust will be established for the benefit of all asbestos claimants, current and future. Honeywell intends to contribute its insurance coverage (which is in excess of $1.2 billion) to the trust in exchange for its indemnity obligation to NARCO. If that trust is put in place and approved by the court as fair and equitable, Honeywell as well as NARCO will be entitled to a permanent channeling injunction barring all present and future individual actions in state or federal courts and requiring all asbestos-related claims based on exposure to NARCO products to be made against the federally-supervised trust. In our view, our existing insurance plus the existing NARCO assets should be sufficient to fund the trust. There is no assurance that a stay will remain in effect, that a plan of reorganization will be proposed or confirmed, or that any plan that is confirmed will provide relief to Honeywell.
Although it is impossible to predict the outcome of pending or future claims or the NARCO bankruptcy, in light of the nature of the potential exposure, our experience over the past 20 years in resolving asbestos-related claims, our insurance coverage, our existing reserves and the NARCO bankruptcy proceeding, we do not believe that asbestos-related claims will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations or financial position.
OTHER MATTERS -- We are subject to a number of other lawsuits, investigations and claims (some of which involve substantial amounts) arising out of the conduct of our business. With respect to all these other matters, including those relating to commercial transactions, government contracts, product liability and non-environmental health and safety matters, while the ultimate results of these lawsuits, investigations and claims cannot be determined, we do not expect that these matters will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations or financial position.
We have issued or are a party to various direct and indirect guarantees of the debt of unconsolidated affiliates and third parties of $80 million. We do not expect that these guarantees will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity.
NOTE 23 -- PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS
We maintain pension plans covering the majority of our employees and retirees, and postretirement benefit plans for retirees that include health care benefits and life insurance coverage. Pension benefits for substantially all U.S. employees are provided through non-contributory, defined benefit pension plans. Employees in foreign countries, who are not U.S. citizens, are covered by
HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
various retirement benefit arrangements, some of which are considered to be defined benefit pension plans for accounting purposes. Our retiree medical plans cover U.S. and Canadian employees who retire with pension eligibility for hospital, professional and other medical services. Most of the U.S. retiree medical plans require deductibles and copayments, and virtually all are integrated with Medicare. Retiree contributions are generally required based on coverage type, plan and Medicare eligibility. The retiree medical and life insurance plans are not funded. Claims and expenses are paid from our general assets.
Net periodic pension and other postretirement benefit costs (income) include the following components:
The following table summarizes the balance sheet impact, including the benefit obligations, assets, funded status and actuarial assumptions associated with our significant pension and other postretirement benefit plans.
HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
The projected benefit obligation, accumulated benefit obligation and fair value of plan assets for our pension plans with accumulated benefit obligations in excess of plan assets were $1,296, $1,262 and $865 million, respectively, at December 31, 2001 and $350, $310 and $44 million, respectively, at December 31, 2000.
For measurement purposes, we assumed an annual health-care cost trend rate of 8.25 percent for covered healthcare benefits in 2002. The rate was assumed to decrease gradually to 5 percent in 2007 and remain at that level thereafter. Assumed health-care cost trend rates have a significant effect on the amounts reported for our retiree health-care plan. A one-percentage-point change in assumed health-care cost trend rates would have the following effects:
NOTE 24 -- SEGMENT FINANCIAL DATA

OPTION GRANTS IN LAST FISCAL YEAR
The stock options included in the following table were all granted with an exercise price equal to 100 percent of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant.
- ---------
(1) Options are valued using a Black-Scholes option pricing model which assumes a historic five-year average volatility of 40.8 percent, the average dividend yield for the three years ended December 31, 2001 (1.5 percent), a 5.2 percent risk-free rate of return (based on the five-year U.S. Treasury note yield on the date of grant), and an expected option life of 5.0 years based on past experience. No adjustments are made for non-transferability or risk of forfeiture. Options will have no actual value unless, and then only to the extent that, the common stock price appreciates from the grant date to the exercise date. If the grant date present values are realized, total shareowner value will have appreciated by approximately $11.3 billion, and the value of the granted options reflected in the table will be less than 0.15 percent of the total shareowner appreciation.
(2) Vests 100 percent on July 1, 2002.
(3) Vests 40 percent on January 1, 2002 and 30 percent on each of January 1, 2003 and 2004.
AGGREGATED OPTION EXERCISES IN LAST FISCAL YEAR AND FISCAL YEAR-END OPTION VALUES
- ---------
(1) The table reflects options exercised prior to Mr. Bossidy's return to Honeywell on July 3, 2001.
(2) Upon his retirement, Mr. Bonsignore forfeited 500,000 unexercisable options.
EMPLOYMENT AND TERMINATION ARRANGEMENTS
Mr. Bossidy's employment agreement provides for his employment as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer through June 30, 2002. During the term of the agreement, Mr. Bossidy will have an annual salary of at least $2,000,000 and will have an annual target bonus equal to 100 percent of base salary. If his employment is terminated prior to the expiration of his agreement, Honeywell will continue to provide Mr. Bossidy with compensation, benefits, and other compensation arrangements for the balance of the outstanding term.
Mr. Bonsignore's employment agreement provided for his employment as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer through December 31, 2004. During the term of the agreement, Mr. Bonsignore was entitled to receive an annual salary of at least $1,500,000 and an annual target bonus equal to 100 percent of base salary. Under the terms of his agreement, he was entitled to a severance payment of three times his annual salary and bonus upon his retirement in July 2001.
Under the Severance Plan for Senior Executives, the current executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table would be entitled to payments equivalent to base salary and annual incentive bonus (and continuation of certain benefits, such as group life and medical insurance coverage) for a period of 36 months if their employment is terminated other than for 'gross cause' (which includes fraud and criminal conduct). The payments would be made in a lump sum following a change in control. The Severance Plan for Senior Executives provides for an additional payment sufficient to eliminate the effect of any applicable excise tax on severance payments in excess of an amount determined under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code. Payments subject to the excise tax would not be deductible by Honeywell.
On February 19, 2002, Mr. David M. Cote entered into an employment agreement with Honeywell that provides for his employment as President and Chief Executive Officer through June 30, 2002 and Chairman and Chief Executive Officer effective July 1, 2002 through June 30, 2007. During the term of the agreement Mr. Cote will have an annual salary of at least $1,500,000 and an annual target bonus equal to 125 percent of his base salary. He was granted 2,202,200 stock options and 770,000 restricted units on his start date. He may also receive a cash payment equal to any amount due him under the bonus plan of his prior employer not paid by that employer. If his employment is terminated prior to the expiration of his agreement, Honeywell will continue to provide Mr. Cote with compensation, benefits, and other compensation arrangements for the balance of the outstanding term.
RETIREMENT BENEFITS
The following table illustrates the estimated annual pension benefits which would be provided on retirement at age 65 under Honeywell's retirement program and an unfunded supplemental retirement plan, after applicable deductions for Social Security benefits, to salaried employees having specified average annual remuneration and years of service.
The benefit amounts shown in the Pension Table are computed on a straight life annuity basis. At January 1, 2002, the following individuals had the indicated number of years of credited service for pension purposes: Mr. Bossidy, 9; Mr. Bonsignore, 31; Mr. R. Johnson, 7; Mr. Kreindler, 10; Mr. Wallman, 6; and Dr. B. Johnson, 2.
The amounts in the Salary and Bonus columns of the Summary Compensation Table for 2001 would be included in computing remuneration for pension purposes as well as any payroll based reward and recognition awards. Average annual remuneration under the retirement program is calculated based on the highest paid 60 consecutive months of an employee's last 120 months of employment.
Under their employment agreements, Messrs. Bossidy, Cote and Bonsignore are entitled to receive during their lifetimes, commencing on retirement, Honeywell facilities and services comparable to those provided prior to their retirement, and a retirement benefit equivalent to 60 percent of final average compensation (based on their highest three years of salary and bonus) payable annually for life. Benefits under the agreements will be reduced by any retirement benefits payable under Honeywell's retirement and supplemental retirement plans, and under certain circumstances, benefits payable under retirement plans of former employers. Mr. Bonsignore's early retirement agreement increases his retirement benefit to 70 percent of final average compensation.
Dr. B. Johnson is covered by a pension arrangement that provides an age 60 retirement benefit of $36,139, payable annually for life, to complement the benefit from his former employer.
DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
Directors who are employees of Honeywell receive no compensation for service on the Board. Each non-employee director receives an annual Board retainer of $65,000, of which $20,000 is automatically credited to the director's account in the Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors in the form of common stock equivalents (which are only payable after termination of Board service). They also receive a fee of $2,000 for Board meetings attended on any day (eleven during 2001), an annual retainer of $7,000 for each Board Committee served, and an additional Committee Chair retainer of $5,000 for the Audit and Management Development and Compensation Committees and $3,000 for all other Board Committees. While no fees are generally paid for attending Committee meetings, a $1,000 fee is paid for attendance at a Committee meeting, or other extraordinary meeting related to Board business which occurs apart from a Board meeting. Non-employee directors are also provided with $350,000 in business travel accident insurance and are eligible to elect $100,000 in term life insurance and medical and dental coverage for themselves and their eligible dependents.
Directors may elect to defer, until a specified calendar year or retirement from the Board, all or any portion of their annual retainers and fees that are not automatically deferred and to have such compensation credited to their account in the Deferred Compensation Plan. Amounts credited either accrue interest (11 percent for 2001) or are valued as if invested in common stock equivalents or one of the other funds available to participants in our savings plan. Amounts deferred in a common stock account earn amounts equivalent to dividends. Upon a change of control, a director will be entitled to a lump-sum payment of all deferred amounts.
Under the Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors, each new director receives a one-time grant of 3,000 shares of common stock, which are subject to transfer restrictions until the director's service terminates with the consent of a majority of the Board, provided termination occurs at or after age 65. During the restricted period, the director is entitled to one-fifth of the shares granted for each year of service (up to five). However, the shares will be forfeited if the director's service terminates (other than for death or disability) prior to the end of the restricted period. The Plan also provides for an annual grant to each director of options to purchase 2,000 shares of common stock at 100 percent of the fair market value on the date of grant. Option grants vest in cumulative installments of 40 percent on April 1 of the year following the grant date and an additional 30 percent on April 1 of each of the next two years.
MANAGEMENT DEVELOPMENT AND COMPENSATION COMMITTEE
The primary functions of the Management Development and Compensation Committee of the Board are to review and recommend the compensation arrangements for officers; approve compensation arrangements for other senior level employees; consider matters related to management development and succession and recommend individuals for election as officers; and review or take such other action as may be required in connection with the bonus, stock and other benefit plans of Honeywell and its subsidiaries. The members of the Committee are: Robert P. Luciano (Chair), Hans W. Becherer, Gordon M. Bethune, Bruce Karatz, Ivan G. Seidenberg and John R. Stafford.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
In connection with certain tax planning for Honeywell, we secured supplemental retirement payments for three executives by funding them through an escrow arrangement. By securing the payments, the executive's tax liability was accelerated. We loaned each executive an amount equal to the related withholding tax obligation at the time the payments were secured. The loans bear interest at 5.53 percent compounded semiannually and are due December 31, 2004. At December 31, 2001, the amount of loans outstanding totaled $3,089,590, of which $1,635,200 was loaned to Mr. Bonsignore, $765,450 to Mr. Wallman and $688,940 to Dr. B. Johnson.
