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, 1996, and the
consolidated statements of income and of cash flows for the three-
month periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1995. 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, 1995, 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 February 1, 1996 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, 1995, 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 1996 Compared with First Quarter 1995
- ---------------------------------------------------

Net sales in the first quarter of 1996 totaled $3.8 billion, an
increase of $359 million, or 11%, compared with the first quarter of
last year. Of this increase, $220 million reflects the
consolidation of recent acquisitions offset in part by a $31 million
reduction for disposed businesses, $154 million was due to higher
sales volume and $16 million was due to higher prices.

Aerospace sales increased $158 million, or 14%. Equipment
Systems showed strong sales growth with gains across all product
lines, driven by aftermarket strength. The acquisition of a
majority interest in SECAN, a European supplier of aircraft heat
exchange equipment, in July 1995 also contributed to Equipment
Systems higher sales. Engines had higher aftermarket sales volumes
as well as strong shipments of propulsion engines for regional
aircraft. Sales for Government Electronic Systems also increased
reflecting progress in improving output and reducing order backlog
at communication systems and guidance and controls as well as the
acquisition of Northrop Grumman's precision products business in
January 1996. Commercial Avionics Systems had slightly lower sales
primarily resulting from the completion last year of the Federal
Aviation Administration's mandated traffic alert and collision
avoidance systems (TCAS) installation program on general aviation
aircraft.

Automotive sales had a $90 million, or 6%, increase. Braking
Systems sales benefited from the acquisition of Budd Wheel and Brake
in April 1995. Safety Restraints had substantially higher sales in
Europe because of higher volumes for cars equipped with air bags,
but sales in North America were unfavorably impacted by a strike
against General Motors Corporation. North American aftermarket
sales and sales of filters increased in part due to the successful
introduction of new products. Sales of turbochargers improved
slightly, reflecting significant increases in Europe, but lower
sales in the Asia-Pacific region and North America. Sales of anti-
lock braking systems (ABS) were substantially lower and European
aftermarket sales and sales of North American truck brake systems
were impacted by softening markets.

Engineered Materials sales were $111 million, or 12%, higher.
The Polymers business had higher sales of industrial fibers and
plastics and also benefited from the acquisitions of
Bridgestone/Firestone's industrial polyester fiber plant in
Hopewell, Virginia in November 1995 and a nylon plastics and
industrial fibers plant in Rudolstadt, Germany in October 1995.
Specialty Chemicals sales increased reflecting the acquisition of
Riedel-de Haen in October 1995. Sales also improved for Electronic
Materials due to increased sales of laminate systems and advanced
microelectronic materials. Carbon materials, environmental
catalysts and amorphous metals also had higher sales. Sales of
Fluorine Products were lower because of the 1995 phase-out of
chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) in developed countries.

8
Selling, general and administrative expense increased $43
million, or 12%, reflecting in part the impact of acquisitions.

Income from operations of $365 million in the first quarter of
1996 increased $51 million, or 16%, compared with last year's first
quarter. Engineered Materials' income from operations increased 30%
and Aerospace improved 19%, but Automotive's income from
operations decreased 5%. The Company's operating margin for the
first quarter of 1996 was 9.7% compared with 9.2% 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) of the Company's businesses improved by 4.0% compared with
last year's first quarter.

Equity in income of affiliated companies of $27 million
decreased by $22 million, or 45%, compared with last year mainly
because the Company exited its high-density polyethylene (HDPE)
joint venture in December 1995 and because of lower earnings from
the Company's UOP process technology joint venture.

Other income (expense), zero in the first quarter of 1996,
improved by $19 million compared with the same quarter last year
mainly because of higher foreign exchange costs in the prior year's
first quarter.

Interest and other financial charges of $50 million increased
$9 million, or 22%, from 1995's first quarter primarily due to
higher levels of short-term debt.

Aerospace net income improved to $71 million from $56 million,
an increase of $15 million, or 27%, compared with the same quarter
last year. Strong sales growth resulted in significantly higher
earnings for the Equipment Systems, Government Electronic Systems
and Engines businesses. Commercial Avionics Systems had lower
earnings reflecting reduced TCAS sales.

Automotive net income rose to $72 million from $62 million a
year ago, a $10 million, or 16%, increase. Sales improvements of
safety restraints and turbochargers in Europe and increased sales of
automotive filters in the U.S. contributed to higher income. Net
income also benefited from lower foreign exchange costs in the first
quarter 1996 as compared with the same quarter last year. Earnings
were unfavorably impacted by the strike against General Motors
Corporation which resulted in temporary production curtailments at
the Company's U.S. safety restraint plants. Net income was lower
for the aftermarket and hydraulic braking systems.

Engineered Materials net income increased to $109 million from
$94 million, a $15 million, or 16%, increase. Net income was higher
for the Polymers business, mainly reflecting improvements for
industrial and carpet fibers. Electronic Materials net income was
higher as laminate systems and advanced microelectronic materials
had substantial increases over last year. A partial offset was
lower equity earnings as a result of the Company's exit from the
HDPE joint venture and reduced earnings on lower sales of Fluorine
Products.

9
Net income of $225 million, or $0.80 a share, in the first
quarter of 1996 was 14% higher than last year's net income of $198
million, or $0.70 a share, for the reasons discussed above.

Financial Condition
-------------------

March 31, 1996 Compared with December 31, 1995
- ----------------------------------------------

On March 31, 1996 the Company had $558 million in cash and cash
equivalents, compared with $540 million at year-end 1995. The
current ratio at March 31, 1996 was 1.3X, the same as at year-end
1995.

The Company's long-term debt on March 31, 1996 was $1,344
million, a reduction of $22 million compared with year-end 1995.
Total debt of $2,142 million on March 31, 1996 was $132 million
higher than at year-end, reflecting an increase in outstanding
commercial paper. The Company's total debt as a percent of capital
increased slightly from 33.7% at year-end 1995 to 34.7% at March 31,
1996.

During the first three months of 1996, the Company made capital
expenditures of $180 million, compared with $145 million in the
corresponding period in 1995. Spending for the three month period
was as follows: aerospace-$26 million, automotive-$77 million,
engineered materials-$58 million and corporate-$19 million.

During the first quarter of 1996, the Company repurchased 2.7
million shares of common stock for $142 million. Common stock is
repurchased to meet the expected requirements for shares issued
under employee benefit plans and a shareowner dividend reinvestment
plan. At March 31, 1996 the Company was authorized to repurchase
5.4 million shares of common stock.

In April 1996 the Company completed the sale of its light-
vehicle hydraulic and ABS businesses (braking businesses) to Robert
Bosch GmbH, a privately-held German company. Included in the sale
were the Company's worldwide operations for conventional hydraulic
braking and ABS systems for cars, light trucks and medium-duty
trucks. These operations had 1995 sales of approximately $2.1
billion. The Company received cash consideration of $1.5 billion,
subject to certain post-closing adjustments. It is expected that
the proceeds will be used to grow the Company's higher-margin
businesses and to pursue acquisitions that will expand or complement
the Company's business portfolio. The sale of the braking
businesses will result in a significant gain.

Management is currently evaluating a number of opportunities to
reposition some of the Company's major business units which are intended
to enhance their competitiveness and profitability. The Company is also
completing an analysis of the impact of the proposed American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants' Statement of Position
(SOP), "Environmental Remediation Liabilities." This SOP provides
additional guidance regarding the manner in which existing
authoritative accounting literature is to be applied to the specific
circumstances of recognizing, measuring and disclosing environmental
remediation liabilities. The proposed SOP indicates that the
effects of initially applying its provisions should be reported as a
change in accounting estimate. The recognition and measurement
guidance with respect to existing accounting principles that are
contained in the proposed SOP and management's approval of strategic

10
repositioning actions is likely to result in a material charge
against second quarter earnings and is expected to offset the gain
mentioned above.
