Report on Review by Independent Accountants
___________________________________________
To the Board of Directors
of Alliedsignal Inc.
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of
AlliedSignal Inc. and its subsidiaries as of March 31, 1998, and the
consolidated statements of income and of cash flows for the three-
month periods ended March 31, 1998 and 1997. This financial
information is the responsibility of the Company's management.
We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by
the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of
interim financial information consists principally of applying
analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of
persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is
substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards, 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 financial information referred to above
for it to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards, the consolidated balance sheet as of December
31, 1997, and the related consolidated statements of income, of
retained earnings, and of cash flows for the year then ended (not
presented herein); and in our report dated January 28, 1998
we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated
financial statements. In our opinion, the information
set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet information
as of December 31, 1997, is fairly stated, in all material respects,
in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been
derived.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------------------------------
Results of Operations
---------------------
First Quarter 1998 Compared with First Quarter 1997
- ---------------------------------------------------
Net sales in the first quarter of 1998 were $3.6 billion, an
increase of $319 million, or 10%, compared with the first quarter of
1997. Of this increase, $371 million was due to higher sales volume
and $270 million from recent acquisitions, offset in part by a $232
million reduction for disposed businesses, mainly the Automotive
safety restraints business. Selling prices were lower by $52
million, mainly for the Engineered Materials and Aerospace segments.
The impact of foreign exchange on the Automotive and Engineered
Materials segments also reduced sales by $38 million.
Aerospace sales of $1,715 million in the first quarter of 1998
increased by $317 million, or 23%, compared with the first quarter
of 1997. Sales increased for all Aerospace businesses reflecting
continued strength for both original equipment and aftermarket
products as well as for repair and overhaul services. Aerospace
Equipment Systems had substantially higher sales reflecting strength
across all product lines, particularly engine controls and
environmental control systems, as well as the acquisition of Grimes
Aerospace (Grimes) in July 1997. Electronic & Avionics Systems also
had substantially higher sales reflecting strong demand for the
Company's enhanced ground proximity warning system (EGPWS) and other
flight safety and cockpit communications products. The Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) announced recently that it would
require passenger aircraft to be equipped with EGPWS by the end of
2003. Engines also had significantly higher sales due to strong
shipments of auxiliary power units to the commercial air transport
and regional aircraft markets and propulsion engine demand in the
business jet market. The acquisition of certain operations of
Banner Aerospace (Banner) in January 1998 also contributed to
Aerospace's higher sales.
Engineered Materials sales of $1,125 million in the first
quarter of 1998 were $124 million, or 12%, higher compared with the
same quarter of 1997. Sales of Polymers were moderately higher due
mainly to growth in engineering plastics and specialty films. Higher
sales in engineering plastics were driven by strong demand in the
lawn care and automotive product lines. Specialty films sales
growth was mainly attributable to significant demand for the
Company's blister packaging product used in the pharmaceutical
market. Sales of Specialty Chemicals were substantially higher
primarily reflecting the acquisition of Astor Holdings, Inc. (Astor)
in October 1997. Sales of Electronic Materials were also moderately
higher mainly due to volume gains in multilayer laminates and
amorphous metals.
Automotive sales of $805 million in the first quarter
of 1998 were $122 million, or 13%, lower compared with
the first quarter of 1997. The decrease primarily
reflects the disposition of the safety restraints business.
Excluding the disposed safety restraints business, sales were
13% higher. Turbocharging Systems sales were substantially
higher reflecting strong demand in the North American
truck market and the European turbodiesel-powered passenger
car market in part reflecting the popularity of the Company's
variable nozzle turbocharger introduced last year. Truck
Brake Systems sales in North America were also
9
substantially higher driven by higher anti-lock brake
installation rates to comply with government mandates
and increased truck builds. The Automotive Products Group
had a moderate sales gain reflecting the acquisitions of the
Prestone Products Corporation in June 1997 and the Holt Lloyd Group
Ltd. in November 1997 which offset lower sales of friction materials
and spark plugs.
Cost of goods sold as a percent of net sales decreased from
78.3% in the first quarter of 1997 to 77.1% in the first quarter of
1998 reflecting results of the Company's continuing Six Sigma
programs to improve productivity and lower manufacturing and
materials costs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of
net sales decreased slightly, from 11.0% in the first quarter of
1997 to 10.9% in the first quarter of 1998. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased $33 million, or 9%, reflecting in
part the impact of acquisitions.
Income from operations of $439 million in the first quarter of
1998 increased by $82 million, or 23%, compared with the first
quarter of 1997. On a segment basis, Aerospace income from
operations increased by 49% and Engineered Materials income from
operations increased by 33%. Income from operations for the
Automotive segment decreased 43%. Excluding the divested safety
restraints business, Automotive income from operations decreased
18%. The Company's operating margin for the first quarter of 1998
was 12.0%, compared with 10.7% for the same period last year. See
the discussion of net income below for information by segment.
Productivity (the constant dollar basis relationship of sales
to costs) improved by 5.9% compared with the first quarter of 1997
primarily reflecting ongoing Six Sigma initiatives to lower
materials and manufacturing costs.
Equity in income of affiliated companies of $34 million in the
first quarter of 1998 decreased by $7 million, or 17%, compared with
the same quarter in 1997, primarily due to lower earnings from the
UOP process technology joint venture (UOP) and the absence of
earnings from investments divested in connection with the sale of
the safety restraints business.
Other income (expense), a $1 million loss in the first quarter
of 1998, decreased by $35 million, compared with the same quarter in
1997, reflecting the absence of foreign exchange gains and lower
interest income primarily due to a lower cash position because of
spending for acquisitions.
Interest and other financial charges of $34 million in the
first quarter of 1998 decreased by $8 million, or 19%, compared with
the first quarter in 1997. This decrease results from lower tax
interest expense due to an acceleration of worldwide tax audits
resulting in developments favorable to the Company's position,
offset in part by higher debt-related interest expense reflecting
increased levels of debt.
The effective tax rate in the first quarter of 1998 decreased
to 31.5%, compared with 33.6% in the first quarter of 1997,
primarily due to an increase in energy tax credits, tax benefits on
exports and other tax planning strategies.
Net income of $300 million, or $0.52 per share, in
the first quarter of 1998 was 16% higher than last
year's first quarter net income of $259 million, or
10
$0.45 per share. All earnings per share data in Management's
Discussion and Analysis reflect diluted earnings per share.
Aerospace net income of $149 million in the first quarter of
1998 improved by $50 million, or 51%, compared with the same quarter
in 1997. Strong unit volume increases, particularly in higher
margin aftermarket parts, as well as productivity improvements
resulted in substantially higher earnings for Electronic & Avionics
Systems and Aerospace Equipment Systems. The acquisition of Grimes
also contributed to higher net income for Aerospace Equipment
Systems. Electronic & Avionics Systems also benefited from the
resolution of manufacturing difficulties which adversely affected
1997 results. Engines net income declined slightly compared with
the prior year's first quarter because of higher investment in new
product development, including a new propulsion engine for business
jet aircraft.
Engineered Materials net income of $127 million in the first
quarter of 1998 increased by $19 million, or 18%, compared with the
first quarter of 1997. Polymers net income improved due to a
decline in nylon and polyester raw material costs, volume growth and
Six Sigma capacity utilization initiatives. Specialty Chemicals
income increased due in part to the acquisition of Astor and a
slight improvement in raw material costs. Lower selling prices for
fluorine products and a decrease in UOP net income were partial
offsets. Weakness in Asian semiconductor markets and a less
favorable price/cost spread for laminate systems contributed to
lower earnings for Electronic Materials.
Automotive net income of $21 million in the first quarter of
1998 was $31 million, or 60%, lower than in the first quarter of
1997. The decrease primarily reflects the absence of net income
from the disposed safety restraints business and a decline in
operating performance of the Automotive Products Group. Truck Brake
Systems net income was even with last year reflecting the cost of
consolidating plants to improve productivity. Turbocharging Systems
net income improved moderately over the prior year driven by sales
gains.
Financial Condition
-------------------
March 31, 1998 Compared with December 31, 1997
- ----------------------------------------------
On March 31, 1998, the Company had $537 million in cash and
cash equivalents and short-term investments compared with $1,041
million at year-end 1997. The decrease mainly reflects funds
deployed for debt reduction, acquisitions and common stock
repurchases.
The Company's long-term debt on March 31, 1998 was $1,592
million, an increase of $377 million compared with year-end 1997.
During the first quarter of 1998 the Company issued $408 million of
new long-term debt. Total debt of $2,049 million on March 31, 1998
was $258 million lower than at December 31, 1997. The Company's
total debt as a percent of capital at March 31, 1998 was 27.9%,
compared with 31.7% at year-end 1997.
During the first three months of 1998, the Company spent $124
million for capital expenditures, compared with $146 million in the
corresponding period in 1997. Spending for the 1998 three month
period was as follows: aerospace-$39 million, engineered materials-
$58 million, automotive-$24 million and corporate-$3 million.
11
During the first three months of 1998, the Company repurchased
7.0 million shares of common stock for $284 million. Common stock
is generally repurchased to meet the expected requirements for
shares issued under employee benefit plans, acquisitions and a
shareowner dividend reinvestment plan. At March 31, 1998, the
Company was authorized to repurchase 73.4 million shares of common
stock.
In January 1998, the Company acquired the Hardware Group and
PacAero unit of Banner, distributors of aircraft hardware, for
common stock valued at approximately $350 million. The acquired
operations have annual sales of about $250 million, principally to
commercial air transport and general aviation customers. Also, in
the first quarter of 1998, the Company completed the sale of its
underwater detection systems business to L-3 Communications
Corporation for approximately $70 million in cash. The ocean
systems unit had annual revenues of about $70 million.
The Company continuously assesses the relative strength of its
portfolio of businesses as to strategic fit, market position and
profit contribution in order to upgrade its combined portfolio and
identify operating units that will most benefit from increased
investment. The Company considers acquisition candidates that will
further its strategic plan and strengthen its existing core
businesses. The Company also identifies operating units that do not
fit into its long-term strategic plan based on their market
position, relative profitability or growth potential. These
operating units are considered for potential divestiture,
restructuring or other repositioning action. During the first
quarter 1998, the Company sold certain non-strategic businesses and
other assets.
The Company has recognized the need to ensure that its computer
operations and operating systems will not be adversely affected by
the upcoming calendar year 2000 and is cognizant of the time
sensitive nature of the problem. The Company has assessed how it
may be impacted by Year 2000 and has formulated and commenced
implementation of a comprehensive plan to address known issues as
they relate to its information systems. The plan, as it relates to
information systems, involves a combination of software
modification, upgrades and replacement. The Company estimates that
the cost of Year 2000 compliance for its information systems will
not have a material adverse effect on the future consolidated
results of operations of the Company. The Company's target date for
the remediation of its critical information systems is December 31,
1998.
The Company is not yet able to estimate the cost for Year 2000
compliance with respect to production and facilities equipment,
products, customers and suppliers; however, based on a preliminary
review, management does not expect that such costs will have a
material adverse effect on the future consolidated results of
operations of the Company. The Company expects that the
assessment and development of remediation plans with respect to
production and facilities equipment, products, customers and
suppliers will be substantially complete by the end of the third
quarter of 1998.
