Cautionary Statement about Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements are those that address activities, events or developments that we or our management intends, expects, projects, believes or anticipates will or may occur in the future. They are based on management’s assumptions and assessments in the light of past experience and trends, current economic and industry conditions, expected future developments and other relevant factors. They are not guarantees of future performance, and actual results, developments and business decisions may differ from those envisaged by our forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements are also subject to risks and uncertainties, which can affect our performance in both the near- and long-term. These forward-looking statements should be considered in the light of the information included in this report and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including, without limitation, the Risk Factors, as well as the description of trends and other factors in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, set forth in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Notes to Financial Statements

(Dollars in millions, except per share amounts)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

          In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position of Honeywell International Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries at March 31, 2011 and the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011 should not necessarily be taken as indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the entire year. We have evaluated subsequent events through the date of issuance of our consolidated financial statements.

          We report our quarterly financial information using a calendar convention; that is, the first, second and third quarters are consistently reported as ending on March 31, June 30 and September 30, respectively. It has been our practice to establish actual quarterly closing dates using a predetermined “fiscal” calendar, which requires our businesses to close their books on a Saturday in order to minimize the potentially disruptive effects of quarterly closing on our business processes. The effects of this practice are generally not significant to reported results for any quarter and only exist within a reporting year. In the event that differences in actual closing dates are material to year-over-year comparisons of quarterly or year-to-date results, we provide appropriate disclosures. Our actual closing dates for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 were April 2, 2011 and April 3, 2010, respectively.

          The financial information as of March 31, 2011 should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 contained in our Form 10-K filed on February 11, 2011.

          Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

Note 2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

          Changes to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) in the form of accounting standards updates (ASU’s) to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification.

          The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASU’s. ASU’s not listed below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.

          In October 2009, the FASB issued amendments to the accounting and disclosure for revenue recognition. These amendments, effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010 (early adoption is permitted), modify the criteria for recognizing revenue in multiple element arrangements and the scope of what constitutes a non-software deliverable. The Company has elected to early adopt this guidance, on a prospective basis for applicable transactions originating or materially modified after January 1, 2010. The implementation of this amended accounting guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position and results of operations in the period of adoption. Adoption impacts in future periods will vary based upon the nature and volume of new or materially modified transactions but are not expected to have a significant impact on sales.

          In the quarter ended March 31, 2011, we recognized repositioning charges totaling $ 48 million including severance costs of $ 27 million related to workforce reductions of 586 manufacturing and administrative positions in our Automation and Control Solutions and Specialty Materials segments. The workforce reductions were related to factory transitions in connection with acquisition-related synergies in our Automation and Control Solutions segment, the exit from and/or rationalization of certain product lines and markets in our Specialty Materials and Automation and Control Solutions segments, and an organizational realignment of a business in our Automation and Control Solutions segment. The repositioning charge included asset impairments of $ 10 million principally related to manufacturing plant and equipment associated with the exit of a product line and a factory transition as discussed above. The repositioning charge also included exit costs of $ 11 million principally for

costs to terminate contracts, including an operating lease, related to the exit of a market and a factory transition as discussed above.

          In the quarter ended March 31, 2010 we recognized repositioning charges totaling $ 45 million including severance costs of $ 33 million related to workforce reductions of 617 manufacturing and administrative positions primarily in our Automation and Control Solutions and Transportation Systems segments. The workforce reductions were primarily related to the planned shutdown of certain manufacturing facilities in our Automation and Control Solutions and Transportation Systems segments. The repositioning charge also included asset impairments of $ 8 million principally related to manufacturing plant and equipment in facilities scheduled to close.

          Certain repositioning projects in our Aerospace, Automation and Control Solutions and Transportation Systems segments included exit or disposal activities, the costs related to which will be recognized in future periods when the actual liability is incurred. The nature of these exit or disposal costs includes asset set-up and moving, product recertification and requalification, and employee retention, training and travel. The following tables summarize by segment, expected, incurred and remaining exit and disposal costs related to 2011 and 2010 repositioning actions which we were not able to recognize at the time the actions were initiated.

           In February 2011, the Company issued $800 million 4.25% Senior Notes due 2021 and $600 million 5.375% Senior Notes due 2041 (collectively, the “Notes”). The Notes are senior unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of Honeywell and rank equally with all of Honeywell’s existing and future senior unsecured debt and senior to all of Honeywell’s subordinated debt. The offering resulted in gross proceeds of $1,400 million, offset by $19 million in discount and closing costs related to the offering.

           In the first quarter of 2011, the Company repurchased the entire outstanding principal amount of its $400 million 5.625% Notes due 2012 via a cash tender offer and a subsequent optional redemption. The cost relating to the early redemption of the Notes, including the “make-whole premium”, was $29 million.

           In March 2011, the Company entered into a $2,800 million Five Year Credit Agreement (“Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of banks. Commitments under the Credit Agreement can be increased pursuant to the terms of

12


Honeywell International Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
(Dollars in millions, except per share amounts)

the Credit Agreement to an aggregate amount not to exceed $3,500 million. The Credit Agreement is maintained for general corporate purposes, including support for the issuance of commercial paper, and replaces the previous $2,800 million five year credit agreement dated May 14, 2007 (“Prior Agreement”). There have been no borrowings under the Credit Agreement or the Prior Agreement. The Credit Agreement does not restrict the Company’s ability to pay dividends, nor does it contain financial covenants.

          As a source of liquidity, we sell interests in designated pools of trade accounts receivables to third parties. As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 none of the receivables in the designated pools had been sold to third parties. When we sell receivables, they are over-collateralized and we retain a subordinated interest in the pool of receivables representing that over-collateralization as well as an undivided interest in the balance of the receivables polls. The terms of the trade accounts receivable program permit the repurchase of receivables from the third parties at our discretion, providing us with an additional source of revolving credit. As a result, program receivables remain on the Company’s balance sheet with a corresponding amount recorded as either Short-term borrowings or Long-term debt.

Note 10. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measures

          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 and currency exchange rates and commodity prices. 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 in derivative transactions 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 rates, currency exchange rates and commodity prices and restrict the use of derivative financial instruments to hedging activities.

          We continually monitor the creditworthiness of our customers to which we grant credit terms in the normal course of business. The terms and conditions of our credit sales are designed 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 transactions arising from international trade. Our objective is to preserve the economic value of non-functional currency denominated cash flows. We attempt to hedge transaction exposures with natural offsets to the fullest extent possible and, once these opportunities have been exhausted, through foreign currency exchange forward and option contracts with third parties.

          We hedge monetary assets and liabilities denominated in non-functional 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 partially hedge forecasted sales and purchases, which predominantly occur in the next twelve months and are denominated in non-functional currencies, with currency forward contracts. Changes in the forecasted non-functional currency cash flows due to movements in exchange rates are substantially offset by changes in the fair value of the currency forward contracts designated as hedges. Market value gains and losses on these contracts are recognized in earnings when the hedged transaction is recognized. Open foreign currency exchange forward contracts mature predominantly in the next twelve months. At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we had contracts with notional amounts of $5,833 million and $5,733, million respectively, to exchange foreign currencies, principally the U.S. dollar, Euro, British pound, Canadian dollar, Hong Kong dollar, Mexican peso, Swiss franc, Czech koruna, Chinese renminbi, Indian rupee, Singapore dollar, Swedish krona and Korean won.

          Commodity Price Risk Management—Our exposure to market risk for commodity prices can result in changes in our cost of production. We primarily mitigate our exposure to commodity price risk through the use of long-term, fixed-price contracts with our suppliers and formula price agreements with suppliers and customers.

13


Honeywell International Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
(Dollars in millions, except per share amounts)

We also enter into forward commodity contracts with third parties designated as hedges of anticipated purchases of several commodities. Forward commodity contracts are marked-to-market, with the resulting gains and losses recognized in earnings when the hedged transaction is recognized. At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we had contracts with notional amounts of $34 million and $23 million, respectively, related to forward commodity agreements, principally base metals and natural gas.

          Interest Rate Risk Management— We use a combination of financial instruments, including long-term, 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 March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, interest rate swap agreements designated as fair value hedges effectively changed $1,400 and $600 million, respectively, of fixed rate debt at an average rate of 4.09 and 3.88 percent, respectively, to LIBOR based floating rate debt. Our interest rate swaps mature at various dates through 2021.

          Fair Value of Financial Instruments— The FASB’s accounting guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The FASB’s guidance classifies the inputs used to measure fair value into the following hierarchy:

 

 

 

 

Level 1

Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

 

 

 

 

Level 2

Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, or

 

 

 

 

 

Unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or

 

 

 

 

 

Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability

 

 

 

 

Level 3

Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability

          The Company endeavors to utilize the best available information in measuring fair value. Financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company has determined that our available for sale investments are level 1 and our remaining financial assets and liabilities are level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010:

          The foreign currency exchange contracts, interest rate swap agreements, and forward commodity contracts are valued using broker quotations, or market transactions in either the listed or over-the-counter markets. As such, these derivative instruments are classified within level 2. The Company also holds investments in marketable equity securities, commercial paper, certificates of deposits, and time deposits that are designated

14

as available for sale and are valued using market transactions in over-the-counter markets. As such, these investments are classified within level 2.

          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.

          As of March 31, 2011, the Company had nonfinancial assets, specifically property, plant and equipment, with a net book value of $10 million which were accounted for at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets were tested for impairment and based on the fair value of these assets the Company recognized losses of $10 million in the three months ended March 31, 2011, primarily in connection with our repositioning actions (see Note 3 Repositioning and Other Charges). The Company has determined that the fair value measurements of these nonfinancial assets are level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. As of March 31, 2010, the Company had nonfinancial assets, specifically property, plant and equipment, software and intangible assets, with a net book value of $14 million that were accounted for at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Based on the fair value of these assets the Company recognized losses of $13 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010.

          Ineffective portions of commodity derivative instruments designated in cash flow hedge relationships were insigificant in the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 and are located in cost of products sold. Foreign currency exchange contracts designated in cash flow hedge relationships qualify as critical matched terms hedge relationships and as a result have no ineffectiveness.

          Interest rate swap agreements are designated as hedge relationships with gains or (losses) on the derivative recognized in Interest and other financial charges offsetting the gains and losses on the underlying debt being hedged. Gains on interest rate swap agreements recognized in earnings were $9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2011. These gains were fully off-set by losses on the underlying debt being hedged. Gains on interest rate swap agreements recognized in earnings were $4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010. These gains were fully off-set by losses on the underlying debt being hedged.

          We also economically hedge our exposure to changes in foreign exchange rates principally with forward contracts. These contracts are marked-to-market with the resulting gains and losses recognized in earnings offsetting the gains and losses on the non-functional currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities being hedged. For the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, we recognized $23 million and $22 million of expense, respectively in Other (Income) Expense.

          In January 2011, Honeywell made a voluntary cash contribution of $1 billion to our U.S. pension plans to improve the funded status of the plans.

          If required, a mark to market adjustment will be recorded in the fourth quarter of 2011 in accordance with our pension accounting method as described in Note 1 to our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 contained in our Form 10-K filed on February 11, 2011.

Note 14. Commitments and Contingencies

Environmental Matters

          We are subject to various federal, state, local and foreign government requirements relating to the protection of 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 and that our handling, manufacture, use and disposal of hazardous substances are in accordance with environmental and safety 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 and safety matters, including past production of products containing hazardous 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 or jointly with other potentially responsible parties, to determine the feasibility of various remedial techniques. It is our policy to record appropriate liabilities for environmental matters when remedial efforts or damage claim payments are probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. Such liabilities are based on

19


Honeywell International Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
(Dollars in millions, except per share amounts)

our best estimate of the undiscounted future costs required to complete the remedial work. The recorded liabilities are adjusted periodically as remediation efforts progress or as additional technical, regulatory or legal information becomes available. Given the uncertainties regarding the status of laws, regulations, enforcement policies, the impact of other potentially responsible parties, technology and information related to individual sites, we do not believe it is possible to develop an estimate of the range of reasonably possible environmental loss in excess of our recorded liabilities. We expect to fund expenditures for these matters from operating cash flow. The timing of cash expenditures depends on a number of factors, including the timing of remedial investigations and feasibility studies, the timing of litigation and settlements of remediation liability, personal injury and property damage claims, regulatory approval of cleanup projects, remedial techniques to be utilized and agreements with other parties.

          The following table summarizes information concerning our recorded liabilities for environmental costs:

          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 or operating cash flows in the periods recognized or paid. However, considering our past experience and existing reserves, we do not expect that these environmental matters will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position.

          New Jersey Chrome SitesThe excavation and offsite disposal of approximately one million tons of chromium residue present at a predecessor Honeywell site located in Jersey City, New Jersey, known as Study Area 7 was completed in January 2010. We have also received approval of the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey for the implementation of related groundwater and sediment remedial actions, and are seeking the appropriate permits from state and federal agencies. Provisions have been made in our financial statements for the estimated cost of these remedies.

          The above-referenced site is the most significant of the 21 sites located in Hudson County, New Jersey that are the subject of an Administrative Consent Order (ACO) entered into with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) in 1993 (the “Honeywell ACO Sites”). Remedial investigations and activities consistent with the ACO have also been conducted and are underway at the other Honeywell ACO Sites. We have recorded reserves for the Honeywell ACO Sites where appropriate under the accounting policy described above.

          On May 3, 2005, NJDEP filed a lawsuit in New Jersey Superior Court against Honeywell and two other companies seeking declaratory and injunctive relief, unspecified damages, and the reimbursement of unspecified total costs relating to sites in New Jersey allegedly contaminated with chrome ore processing residue. The claims against Honeywell relate to the activities of a predecessor company which ceased its New Jersey manufacturing

20

Notes to Financial Statements

(Dollars in millions, except per share amounts)

operations in the mid-1950’s. Honeywell and the two other companies have agreed to settle this litigation with NJDEP, subject to Court approval. Under the settlement, Honeywell would pay $5 million of NJDEP’s past costs, as well as accept sole responsibility to remediate 24 of the 53 “Publicly Funded Sites” (i.e., those sites for which none of the three companies had previously accepted responsibility). Honeywell would also bear 50% of the costs at another 10 Publicly Funded Sites. We have recorded reserves for the Publicly Funded Sites where appropriate under the accounting policy described above.

          We have entered into court-approved settlements of litigation filed in federal court against Honeywell and other landowners seeking the cleanup of chrome residue at groups of properties known as Study Areas 5, 6 South and 6 North of the Honeywell ACO Sites. The required remedial actions are consistent with our recorded reserves.

          Dundalk Marine Terminal, Baltimore, MDChrome residue from legacy chrome plant operations in Baltimore was deposited as fill at the Dundalk Marine Terminal (“DMT”), which is owned and operated by the Maryland Port Administration (“MPA”). Honeywell and the MPA have been sharing costs to investigate and mitigate related environmental issues, and have entered into a cost sharing agreement under which Honeywell will bear 77 percent of the costs of developing and implementing permanent remedies for the DMT facility. In January 2011, the MPA and Honeywell submitted to the Maryland Department of the Environment (“MDE”) a Corrective Measures Alternatives Analysis (“CMAA”) of certain potential remedies for DMT to assist MDE in selection of a final remedy, which has not yet occurred. Provision has been made in our financial statements for the CMAA consistent with the accounting policy described above. We have negotiated a Consent Decree with the MPA and MDE with respect to the investigation and remediation of the DMT facility. The Consent Decree is being challenged in federal court by BUILD, a Baltimore community group, together with a local church and two individuals (collectively “BUILD”). In October 2007, the Court dismissed with prejudice BUILD’s state law claims and dismissed without prejudice BUILD’s RCRA claims regarding neighborhoods near the DMT facility. In August 2008, the Court held a hearing on the Company’s motion to dismiss BUILD’s remaining claims on the grounds that MDE is diligently prosecuting the investigation and remediation of the DMT. We are awaiting the Court’s decision. We do not believe that this matter will have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial position or operating cash flows. Given the scope and complexity of this project, it is possible that the cost of remediation, when determinable, could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations in the periods recognized.

          Onondaga Lake, Syracuse, NYWe are implementing a combined dredging/capping remedy of Onondaga Lake pursuant to a consent decree approved by the United States District Court for the Northern District of New York in January 2007. We have accrued for our estimated cost of remediating Onondaga Lake based on currently available information and analysis performed by our engineering consultants. Honeywell is also conducting remedial investigations and activities at other sites in Syracuse. We have recorded reserves for these investigations and activities where appropriate under the accounting policy described above.

          Honeywell has entered into a cooperative agreement with potential natural resource trustees to assess alleged natural resource damages relating to this site. It is not possible to predict the outcome or duration of this assessment, or the amounts of, or responsibility for, any damages.

Asbestos Matters

          Like many other industrial companies, Honeywell is a defendant in personal injury actions related to asbestos. We did not mine or produce asbestos, nor did we make or sell insulation products or other construction materials that have been identified as the primary cause of asbestos related disease in the vast majority of claimants. Products containing asbestos previously manufactured by Honeywell or by previously owned subsidiaries primarily fall into two general categories: refractory products and friction products.

          Refractory ProductsHoneywell owned North American Refractories Company (NARCO) from 1979 to 1986. NARCO produced refractory products (high temperature bricks and cement) that were sold largely to the steel industry in the East and Midwest. 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

21


Honeywell International Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
(Dollars in millions, except per share amounts)

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. On January 4, 2002, NARCO filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.

          As a result of the NARCO bankruptcy filing, all of the claims pending against NARCO are automatically stayed pending the reorganization of NARCO. In addition, the bankruptcy court enjoined both the filing and prosecution of NARCO-related asbestos claims against Honeywell. The stay has remained in effect continuously since January 4, 2002. In connection with NARCO’s bankruptcy filing, we paid NARCO’s parent company $40 million and agreed to provide NARCO with up to $20 million in financing. We also agreed to pay $20 million to NARCO’s parent company upon the filing of a plan of reorganization for NARCO acceptable to Honeywell (which amount was paid in December 2005 following the filing of NARCO’s Third Amended Plan of Reorganization), and to pay NARCO’s parent company $40 million, and to forgive any outstanding NARCO indebtedness to Honeywell, upon the effective date of the plan of reorganization.

          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, pursuant to Trust Distribution Procedures negotiated with the NARCO Asbestos Claimants Committee and the Court-appointed legal representative for future asbestos claimants. If the trust is put in place and approved by the Court as fair and equitable, Honeywell as well as NARCO will be entitled to a permanent channeling injunction barring all present and future individual actions in state or federal courts and requiring all asbestos related claims based on exposure to NARCO products to be made against the federally-supervised trust. Honeywell has reached agreement with the representative for future NARCO claimants and the Asbestos Claimants Committee to cap its annual contributions to the trust with respect to future claims at a level that would not have a material impact on Honeywell’s operating cash flows.

          In November 2007, the Bankruptcy Court entered an amended order confirming the NARCO Plan without modification and approving the 524(g) trust and channeling injunction in favor of NARCO and Honeywell. In December 2007, certain insurers filed an appeal of the Bankruptcy Court Order in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania. The District Court affirmed the Bankruptcy Court Order in July 2008. In August 2008, insurers filed a notice of appeal to the Third Circuit Court of Appeals. The appeal is fully briefed, oral argument took place on May 21, 2009, and the matter was submitted for decision. In connection with the settlement of an insurance coverage litigation matter, the insurer appellants withdrew their appeal regarding the NARCO Plan. On August 3, 2010 the Third Circuit Court of Appeals entered an order formally dismissing the NARCO appeal. The NARCO Plan of Reorganization cannot become effective, however, until the resolution of an appeal of the Chapter 11 proceedings of NARCO affiliates. The Third Circuit reheard this appeal en banc on October 13, 2010. It is not possible to predict when the Court will rule on this appeal. We expect that the stay enjoining litigation against NARCO and Honeywell will remain in effect until the effective date of the NARCO Plan of Reorganization.

          Our consolidated financial statements reflect an estimated liability for settlement of pending and future NARCO-related asbestos claims of $1,126 million and $1,125 million as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The estimated liability for pending claims is based on terms and conditions, including evidentiary requirements, in definitive agreements with approximately 260,000 current claimants, and an estimate of the unsettled claims pending as of the time NARCO filed for bankruptcy protection. Substantially all settlement payments with respect to current claims have been made. Approximately $100 million of payments due pursuant to these settlements is due only upon establishment of the NARCO trust.

          The estimated liability for future claims represents the estimated value of future asbestos related bodily injury claims expected to be asserted against NARCO through 2018 and the aforementioned obligations to NARCO’s parent. In light of the uncertainties inherent in making long-term projections we do not believe that we have a reasonable basis for estimating asbestos claims beyond 2018. The estimate is based upon the disease criteria and payment values contained in the NARCO Trust Distribution Procedures negotiated with the NARCO Asbestos Claimants Committee and the NARCO future claimants’ representative. Honeywell projected the probable number and value, including trust claim handling costs, of asbestos related future liabilities based upon experience of asbestos claims filing rates in the tort system and in certain operating asbestos trusts, and the claims experience in those forums. The valuation methodology also includes an analysis of the population likely to have been exposed to asbestos containing products, epidemiological studies to estimate the number of people

22

Notes to Financial Statements

(Dollars in millions, except per share amounts)

likely to develop asbestos related diseases, NARCO claims filing history, the pending inventory of NARCO asbestos related claims and payment rates expected to be established by the NARCO trust. This methodology used to estimate the liability for future claims has been commonly accepted by numerous courts and resulted in a range of estimated liability for future claims of $743 to $961 million. We believe that no amount within this range is a better estimate than any other amount and accordingly, we have recorded the minimum amount in the range.

          As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, our consolidated financial statements reflect an insurance receivable corresponding to the liability for settlement of pending and future NARCO-related asbestos claims of $714 and $718 million, respectively. This coverage reimburses Honeywell for portions of the costs incurred to settle NARCO related claims and court judgments as well as defense costs and is provided by a large number of insurance policies written by dozens of insurance companies in both the domestic insurance market and the London excess market. At March 31, 2011, a significant portion of this coverage is with insurance companies with whom we have agreements to pay full policy limits based on corresponding Honeywell claims costs. We conduct analyses to determine the amount of insurance that we estimate is probable of recovery in relation to payment of current and estimated future claims. While the substantial majority of our insurance carriers are solvent, some of our individual carriers are insolvent, which has been considered in our analysis of probable recoveries. We made judgments concerning insurance coverage that we believe are reasonable and consistent with our historical dealings with our insurers, our knowledge of any pertinent solvency issues surrounding insurers and various judicial determinations relevant to our insurance programs.

          In the second quarter of 2006, Travelers Casualty and Insurance Company (“Travelers”) filed a lawsuit against Honeywell and other insurance carriers in the Supreme Court of New York, County of New York, disputing obligations for NARCO-related asbestos claims under high excess insurance coverage issued by Travelers and other insurance carriers. In July 2010, the Company entered into a settlement agreement resolving all asbestos coverage issues with certain plaintiffs. Approximately $180 million of unsettled coverage under these policies is included in our NARCO-related insurance receivable at March 31, 2011. Honeywell believes it is entitled to the coverage at issue and expects to prevail in this matter. In the third quarter of 2007, Honeywell prevailed on a critical choice of law issue concerning the appropriate method of allocating NARCO-related asbestos liabilities to triggered policies. The plaintiffs appealed and the trial court’s ruling was upheld by the intermediate appellate court in the second quarter of 2009. Plaintiffs’ further appeal to the New York Court of Appeals, the highest court in New York, was denied in October 2009. A related New Jersey action brought by Honeywell has been dismissed, but all coverage claims against plaintiffs have been preserved in the New York action. Based upon (i) our understanding of relevant facts and applicable law, (ii) the terms of insurance policies at issue, (iii) our experience on matters of this nature, and (iv) the advice of counsel, we believe that the amount due from Travelers and other insurance carriers is probable of recovery. While Honeywell expects to prevail in this matter, an adverse outcome could have a material impact on our results of operations in the period recognized but would not be material to our consolidated financial position or operating cash flows.

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

          Friction ProductsHoneywell’s Bendix friction materials (Bendix) business manufactured automotive brake parts that contained chrysotile asbestos in an encapsulated form. Existing and potential claimants consist largely of individuals who allege exposure to asbestos from brakes from either performing or being in the vicinity of individuals who performed brake replacements.

          From 1981 through March 31, 2011, we have resolved approximately 156,000 Bendix related asbestos claims. We had 131 trials resulting in favorable verdicts and 19 trials resulting in adverse verdicts. Four of these adverse verdicts were reversed on appeal, five verdicts were vacated on post-trial motions, three claims were settled and the remaining have been or will be appealed. The claims portfolio was reduced in 2009 due to settlements, dismissals and the elimination of significantly aged (i.e., pending for more than six years), inactive

          It is not possible to predict whether resolution values for Bendix related asbestos claims will increase, decrease or stabilize in the future.

          Our consolidated financial statements reflect an estimated liability for resolution of pending and future Bendix related asbestos claims of $592 and $594 million at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. Our liability for the estimated cost of future Bendix related asbestos claims is based on historic claims filing experience, disease classifications, expected resolution values, and historic dismissal rates. In the fourth quarter of each year, we update our analysis of the estimated cost of future Bendix related asbestos claims. We have valued Bendix pending and future claims using average resolution values for the previous five years. Changes in the tort system, which began in 2006, refocused asbestos litigation on mesothelioma cases, making the five year period 2006 through 2010 representative for forecasting purposes. We will continue to update the expected resolution values used to estimate the cost of pending and future Bendix claims during the fourth quarter each year.

          The estimated liability for future claims represents the estimated value of future asbestos related bodily injury claims expected to be asserted against Bendix over the next five years. In light of the uncertainties inherent in making long-term projections, as well as certain factors unique to friction product asbestos claims, we do not believe that we have a reasonable basis for estimating asbestos claims beyond the next five years. The estimate is based upon Bendix historical experience in the tort system for the five years ended December 31, 2010 with respect to claims filing and resolution values. The methodology used to estimate the liability for future claims has been commonly accepted by numerous courts. It is similar to that used to estimate the future NARCO related asbestos claims liability.

          Honeywell currently has approximately $1.9 billion of insurance coverage remaining with respect to pending and potential future Bendix related asbestos claims, of which $161 and $157 million are reflected as receivables in our consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. This coverage is provided by a large number of insurance policies written by dozens of insurance companies in both the domestic insurance market and the London excess market. Insurance receivables are recorded in the financial statements simultaneous with the recording of the liability for the estimated value of the underlying asbestos claims. The amount of the insurance receivable recorded is based on our ongoing analysis of the insurance that we estimate is probable of recovery. This determination is based on our analysis of the underlying insurance policies, our historical experience with our insurers, our ongoing review of the solvency of our insurers, our interpretation of judicial determinations relevant to our insurance programs, and our consideration of the impacts of any settlements reached with our insurers. Insurance receivables are also recorded when structured insurance settlements provide for future fixed payment streams that are not contingent upon future claims or other events. Such amounts are recorded at the net present value of the fixed payment stream.

          On a cumulative historical basis, Honeywell has recorded insurance receivables equal to approximately 40 percent of the value of the underlying asbestos claims recorded. However, because there are gaps in our coverage due to insurance company insolvencies, certain uninsured periods, and insurance settlements, this rate is expected to decline for any future Bendix related asbestos liabilities that may be recorded. Future recoverability rates may also be impacted by numerous other factors, such as future insurance settlements, insolvencies and judicial determinations relevant to our coverage program, which are difficult to predict. Assuming continued defense and indemnity spending at current levels, we estimate that the cumulative recoverability rate could decline over the next five years to approximately 35 percent.

          Honeywell believes it has sufficient insurance coverage and reserves to cover all pending Bendix related asbestos claims and Bendix related asbestos claims estimated to be filed within the next five years. Although it is impossible to predict the outcome of either pending or future Bendix related asbestos claims, we do not believe that such claims would have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position in light of our insurance coverage and our prior experience in resolving such claims. If the rate and types of claims filed, the average resolution value of such claims and the period of time over which claim settlements are paid (collectively, the “Variable Claims Factors”) do not substantially change, Honeywell would not expect future Bendix related asbestos claims to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or operating cash flows in any fiscal year. No assurances can be given, however, that the Variable Claims Factors will not change.

Other Matters

          We are subject to a number of other lawsuits, investigations and disputes (some of which involve substantial amounts claimed) arising out of the conduct of our business, including matters relating to commercial transactions, government contracts, product liability, prior acquisitions and divestitures, employee benefit plans, intellectual property, and environmental, health and safety matters. We recognize a liability for any contingency that is probable of occurrence and reasonably estimable. We continually assess the likelihood of adverse judgments of outcomes in these matters, as well as potential ranges of possible losses (taking into consideration any insurance recoveries), based on a careful analysis of each matter with the assistance of outside legal counsel and, if applicable, other experts. Included in these other matters are the following:

          Allen, et al. v. Honeywell Retirement Earnings Plan—Pursuant to a settlement approved by the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona in February 2008, 18 of 21 claims alleged by plaintiffs in this class action lawsuit were dismissed with prejudice in exchange for approximately $35 million and the maximum aggregate liability for the remaining three claims (alleging that Honeywell impermissibly reduced the pension benefits of certain employees of a predecessor entity when the plan was amended in 1983 and failed to calculate benefits in accordance with the terms of the plan) was capped at $500 million. Any amounts payable, including the settlement amount, have or will be paid from the Company’s pension plan. In October 2009, the Court granted summary judgment in favor of the Honeywell Retirement Earnings Plan with respect to the claim regarding the calculation of benefits. A mediation session has been scheduled for May 2011 to discuss resolution of the remaining claims. If the parties are unable to resolve this matter, we continue to expect to prevail on the remaining claims in light of applicable law and our substantial affirmative defenses, which have not yet been considered fully by the Court.

          Quick Lube—On March 31, 2008, S&E Quick Lube, a filter distributor, filed suit in U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut alleging that twelve filter manufacturers, including Honeywell, engaged in a conspiracy to fix prices, rig bids and allocate U.S. customers for aftermarket automotive filters. This suit is a purported class action on behalf of direct purchasers of filters from the defendants. Parallel purported class actions, including on behalf of indirect purchasers of filters, have been filed by other plaintiffs in a variety of jurisdictions in the United States and Canada. The U.S cases have been consolidated into a single multi-district litigation in the Northern District of Illinois. We intend to vigorously defend the claims raised in these actions. In April 2011, the multi-district

26

litigation was stayed pending an investigation by the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania relating to plaintiff’s principal witness for possible violations of federal law. The Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice notified Honeywell on January 21, 2010 that it has officially closed its investigation into possible collusion in the replacement auto filters industry.

          BorgWarner v. Honeywell—In this patent infringement suit in the District Court for the Western District of North Carolina, plaintiff BorgWarner is claiming that Honeywell’s manufacture and sale of cast titanium compressor wheels for turbochargers infringes three BorgWarner patents and is seeking damages of up to approximately $120 million, which plaintiff asserts should be trebled for willful infringement. Because the process claimed in BorgWarner’s patents had already been described in detail in printed publications and had been offered for sale before BorgWarner’s alleged invention, in violation of statutory requirements for patentability, Honeywell asked the Court to enter summary judgment of invalidity of BorgWarner’s patents. The Court declined to enter summary judgment in September 2010, finding that the question should be decided by a jury. Trial is scheduled for May 2011. Honeywell will continue its vigorous defense of this claim and expects to prevail at trial. In the event the Company is found liable, we do not believe that the evidence supports damages of the magnitude claimed or any finding of willfulness. Honeywell has also asked the United States Patent and Trademark Office to reexamine all three of BorgWarner’s patents in light of the prior art publications. If the Patent Office ultimately invalidates the BorgWarner patents at issue prior to final adjudication of the patent infringement litigation, plaintiff would not be entitled to recover damages.

          Given the uncertainty inherent in litigation and investigations (including the specific matters referenced above), we do not believe it is possible to develop estimates of reasonably possible loss in excess of current accruals for these matters. Considering our past experience and existing accruals, we do not expect the outcome of these matters, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position. Because most contingencies are resolved over long periods of time, potential liabilities are subject to change due to new developments, changes in settlement strategy or the impact of evidentiary requirements, which could cause us to pay damage awards or settlements (or become subject to equitable remedies) that could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or operating cash flows in the periods recognized or paid.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareowners
of Honeywell International Inc.:

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Honeywell International Inc. and its subsidiaries as of March 31, 2011 and the related consolidated statement of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, of shareowners’ equity, and of cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated February 11, 2011, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2010, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

          Cost of products and services sold increased by $752 million or 13 percent in the quarter ended March 31, 2011 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2010. This increase is primarily due to an estimated increase in direct material costs, indirect costs, and labor costs of approximately $490 million, $110 million, and $140 million respectively, driven principally by a 15 percent increase in sales as a result of the factors discussed in the Review of Business Segments section of this MD&A.

           Gross margin percentage increased by 1.1 percentage points in the quarter ended March 31, 2011 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2010 primarily due to higher segment gross margin driven by our Specialty Materials segment and Aerospace segment (approximately 1 percentage point impact collectively).

          Other income of ($29) million in the first quarter of 2011 compared with other income of ($2) million is due primarily to a $39 million pre-tax gain related to the divestiture of the automotive on-board sensor products business within our Automation and Control Solutions segment (see Note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements), partially offset by $29 million of loss resulting from early redemption of debt (see Note 9 of Notes to Financial Statements).

          The effective tax rate was lower than the statutory rate of 35 percent due, in part, to foreign earnings taxed at lower tax rates and benefits from the domestic manufacturing deduction and research & development tax credits.

          Aerospace sales increased by 8 percent in the quarter ended March 31, 2011 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2010 due primarily to an 8 percent increase in organic growth driven primarily by increased commercial original equipment (OE) and aftermarket volumes partially offset by a slight decrease in Defense and Space revenues.

          Details regarding the increase in sales by customer end-markets are as follows:

 

 

 

 

Air transport and regional original equipment (OE) sales increased by 14 percent in the quarter ended March 31, 2011 driven primarily by higher sales to our OE customers, consistent with higher production rates, platform mix and a higher win rate on selectables (components selected by purchasers of new aircraft).

 

 

 

 

Air transport and regional aftermarket sales increased by 13 percent in the quarter ended March 31, 2011 primarily as a result of increased sales of spare parts and higher maintenance activity driven by increased flying hours of approximately 6 percent in the first quarter.

34



 

 

 

 

Business and general aviation OE sales increased by 53 percent in the quarter ended March 31, 2011 due to a rebound from near trough levels in the first quarter of 2010 and driven by strong demand in the business jet end-market.

 

 

 

 

Business and general aviation aftermarket sales increased by 18 percent in the quarter ended March 31, 2011 primarily due to increased sales of spare parts and revenue associated with maintenance service agreements, consistent with the expected increase in business jet utilization.

 

 

 

 

Defense and space sales decreased by 3 percent in the quarter ended March 31, 2011 due to lower T-55 helicopter engine sales internationally, various program ramp downs, partially offset by increased engineering sales.

          Aerospace segment profit increased by 13 percent in the quarter ended March 31, 2011 compared with quarter ended March 31, 2010 due primarily to an 12 percent increase in operational segment profit. The increase in operational segment profit is comprised of an approximate 6 percent positive impact from higher sales volumes and an approximate 6 percent positive impact from increase in price and productivity net of inflation. Cost of goods sold totaled $2 billion for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, an increase of approximately $123 million which is primarily due to higher sales volumes.

          Automation and Control Solutions (“ACS”) sales increased by 17 percent in the quarter ended March 31, 2011 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2010, primarily due to a 9 percent growth from acquisitions and 7 percent increase in organic revenue driven by increased sales volume.

 

 

 

 

Sales in our Products businesses increased by 21 percent in the quarter ended March 31, 2011 principally due to (i) positive impact of acquisitions (most significantly Sperian), net of divestitures, (ii) higher sales volume in each of our businesses due to general industrial recovery and new product introductions and (iii) the favorable impact of foreign exchange.

 

 

 

 

Sales in our Solutions businesses increased by 10 percent in the quarter ended March 31, 2011 primarily driven by volume growth in our Process Solutions business reflecting conversion to sales from backlog, the impact of acquisitions and the favorable impact of foreign exchange. Orders and backlog increased in the first quarter compared to the corresponding period in 2010 driven by

continued favorable macro trends in energy efficiency, oil and gas infrastructure projects, and growth in emerging regions.

          ACS segment profit increased by 19 percent in the quarter ended March 31, 2011 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2010 due to a 9 percent increase from acquisitions, 7 percent increase in operational segment profit and 3 percent positive impact from foreign exchange. The increase in operational segment profit is comprised of an approximate 9 percent positive impact from higher sales volumes, partially offset by an approximately 2 percent negative impact from inflation and investment for growth, net of price and productivity. Cost of goods sold totaled $2.5 billion in 2011, an increase of approximately $366 million which is primarily due to higher sales volumes and inflation, partially offset by positive impact from productivity.

          Specialty Materials sales increased by 19 percent in the quarter ended March 31, 2011 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2010 driven by organic revenue growth.

 

 

 

Advanced Materials sales increased by 22 percent in the quarter ended March 31, 2011 compared to March 31, 2010 primarily driven by (i) a 25 percent increase in Resins and Chemicals sales primarily due to higher prices fueled by strong demand in Asia and formula pricing arrangements, (ii) a 25 percent increase in our Fluorine Products sales due to higher pricing reflecting robust global demand and tight supply conditions, and (iii) a 15 percent increase in Specialty Products sales driven by strong end markets, particularly in Polyethylene wax and Armor products, and commercial excellence initiatives.

 

 

 

UOP sales increased 13 percent in the quarter ended March 31, 2011 compared to March 31, 2010 primarily driven by increased licensing and service revenues and higher unit sales of refining catalysts, reflecting continued strengthening in the refining and petrochemical industries.

          Specialty Materials segment profit increased by 67 percent in the quarter ended March 31, 2011 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2010 due to an increase in operational segment profit. The increase in operational segment profit is primarily due to the favorable price to raw materials spread, partially offset by negative impact from inflation. Cost of goods sold totaled $962 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2011, an increase of approximately $96 million which is primarily due to material and labor inflation as well as continued investment in growth initiatives.

          Transportation Systems sales increased by 19 percent in the quarter ended March 31, 2011 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2010 due to organic revenue growth driven by increased sales volumes.

 

 

 

 

Turbo Technologies, including Friction Materials, sales increased 26 percent in the first quarter primarily driven by (i) increased turbocharger sales to both light vehicle and commercial vehicle engine manufacturers due primarily to new platform launches and strong diesel penetration rates in Western Europe and (ii) higher sales volumes of friction materials due to strong end market demand.

 

 

 

 

Consumer Products Group sales decreased 1 percent in the first quarter primarily due to lower volumes reflecting the impact of inclement weather conditions in the early part of the quarter.

          Transportation Systems segment profit increased by 50 percent in the quarter ended March 31, 2011 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2010 due to a 49 percent increase in operational segment profit and a 1 percent impact from foreign exchange. The increase in operational segment profit is comprised of an approximate 25 percent positive impact from higher sales volumes and 24 percent positive impact from price and productivity, net of material inflation. Cost of goods sold totaled $986 million in the first quarter of 2011, an increase of approximately $149 million which is also primarily a result of increased Turbo Technologies sales volume.

Repositioning and Other Charges

          See Note 3 of Notes to Financial Statements for a discussion of repositioning and other charges incurred in the three months ended March 31, 2011. Our repositioning actions are expected to generate incremental pretax savings of approximately $200 million in 2011 compared with 2010 principally from planned workforce reductions. Cash expenditures for severance and other exit costs necessary to execute these actions were $42 million in the first three months of 2011 and were funded through operating cash flows. Cash expenditures for severance and other costs necessary to execute the remaining actions will approximate a total of $150 million in 2011 and will be funded through operating cash flows.

          Cash used for operating activities increased by $1,186 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared with the three months ended March 31, 2010 primarily due to i) a voluntary cash contribution of $1 billion to our U.S. pension plans in January 2011 and ii) a $401 million unfavorable impact from an increase in working capital (driven by higher receivables and increased purchases of raw materials and component inventory to support higher demand, partially offset by a corresponding increase to accounts payable), partially offset by a $216 million increase in net income.

          Cash provided by investing activities increased by $397 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared with the three months ended March 31, 2010 primarily due to an increase in proceeds from sales of businesses of $217 million (most significantly the divestiture of the automotive on-board sensor products business within our Automation and Control Solutions segment), and a net $194 million decrease in investments of short-term marketable securities.

          Cash provided by financing activities increased by $1,035 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010 primarily due to an increase in the net proceeds from debt of $988 million (see below).

Liquidity

          The Company continues to manage its businesses to maximize operating cash flows as the primary source of liquidity. In addition to our available cash and operating cash flows, additional sources of liquidity include committed credit lines, short-term debt from the commercial paper market, long-term borrowings, access to the public debt and equity markets as well as the ability to sell trade accounts receivables. We continue to balance our cash and financing uses through investment in our existing core businesses, debt reduction, acquisition activity, share repurchases and dividends.

          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.

          In February 2011, the Company issued $800 million 4.25% Senior Notes due 2021 and $600 million 5.375% Senior Notes due 2041(collectively, the “Notes”). The Notes are senior unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of Honeywell and rank equally with all of Honeywell’s existing and future senior unsecured debt and senior to all of Honeywell’s subordinated debt. The offering resulted in gross proceeds of $1,400 million, offset by $19 million in discount and closing costs related to the offering.

38


          In the first quarter of 2011, the Company repurchased the entire outstanding principal amount of its $400 million 5.625% Notes due 2012 via a cash tender offer and a subsequent optional redemption. The costs relating to the early redemption of the Notes, including the “make-whole premium”, was $29 million.

          In March 2011, the Company entered into a $2,800 million Five Year Credit Agreement (“Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of banks. Commitments under the Credit Agreement can be increased pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement to an aggregate amount not to exceed $3,500 million. The Credit Agreement is maintained for general corporate purposes, including support for the issuance of commercial paper, and replaces the previous $2,800 million five year credit agreement dated May 14, 2007 (“Prior Agreement”). There have been no borrowings under the Credit Agreement or the Prior Agreement. The Credit Agreement does not restrict the Company’s ability to pay dividends, nor does it contain financial covenants.

          In January 2011, Honeywell made a voluntary cash contribution of $1 billion to our U.S. pension plans to improve the funded status of the plans. In addition, the Company is evaluating additional voluntary contributions in 2011 and currently expects to contribute a portion of the proceeds from the sale of its Consumer Products Group business to our U.S. pension plans. The timing and amount of contributions may be impacted by a number of factors, including the rate of return on plan assets and discount rates.

          In February 2011, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to a total of $3 billion of Honeywell common stock. Honeywell presently expects to repurchase outstanding shares from time to time during 2011 to offset the dilutive impact of employee stock based compensation plans, including future option exercises, restricted unit vesting and matching contributions under our saving plans. The amount and timing of future repurchases may vary depending on market conditions and the level of operating, financing and other investing activities.

C. Other Matters

Part II. Other Information

 

 

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings

          General Legal Matters

          We are subject to a number of lawsuits, investigations and claims (some of which involve substantial amounts) arising out of the conduct of our business. See a discussion of environmental, asbestos and other litigation matters in Note 14 of Notes to Financial Statements.

          Environmental Matters Involving Potential Monetary Sanctions in Excess of $100,000

          Although the outcome of the matters discussed below cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not believe that any of them, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations or operating cash flows.

          On March 11, 2011, Honeywell resolved a U.S. government investigation into whether the storage of certain sludges generated during uranium hexafluoride production at our Metropolis, Illinois facility was in compliance with the requirements of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). Per the terms of a plea agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice with respect to a single RCRA count, the Company has paid an $11.8 million fine and will perform supplemental environmental projects to resolve the matter. The Company separately settled parallel civil environmental claims and paid a fine of $690,000 to the State of Illinois.

          The United States Environmental Protection Agency and the United States Department of Justice are investigating whether the Company’s manufacturing facility in Hopewell, Virginia is in compliance with the requirements of the Clean Air Act and the facility’s air operating permit. Based on these investigations, the federal authorities have issued notices of violation with respect to the facility’s benzene waste operations, leak detection and repair program, emissions of nitrogen oxides and emissions of particulate matter. The Company has entered into negotiations with federal authorities to resolve the alleged violations.

          In March 2011, Honeywell voluntarily disclosed to the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (VADEQ) possible air permit violations at the Company’s Hopewell manufacturing facility relating to the installation of two pieces of replacement equipment in the facility’s sulfuric acid plant and to nitrogen oxide emissions in 2006 and 2007. The Company has agreed to the terms of a consent order proposed by the VADEQ that (i) resolves these possible violations without admission of liability by the Company; (ii) requires the Company to pay a civil penalty of approximately $364,000; and (iii) requires the Company to take corrective measures.
