Management’s Responsibility for Financial Statements

The financial statements of United Technologies Corporation and its subsidiaries are the responsibility of the Corporation’s management and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.
      Management is responsible for the integrity and objectivity of the financial statements, including estimates and judgments reflected in them and fulfills this responsibility primarily by establishing and maintaining accounting systems and practices adequately supported by internal accounting controls. These controls are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the Corporation’s assets are safeguarded, that transactions are executed in accordance with management’s authorizations and that the financial records are reliable for the purpose of preparing financial statements. Self-monitoring mechanisms are also a part of the control environment whereby, as deficiencies are identified, corrective actions are taken. Even an effective internal control system, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations including the possibility of the circumvention or overriding of controls and, therefore, can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and such safeguarding of assets. Further, because of changes in conditions, internal control system effectiveness may vary over time.
      The Corporation assessed its internal control system as of December 31, 2001. Based on this assessment, management believes the internal accounting controls in use provide reasonable assurance that the Corporation’s assets are safeguarded, that transactions are executed in accordance with management’s authorizations, and that the financial records are reliable for the purpose of preparing financial statements.
      Independent accountants are appointed annually by the Corporation’s shareowners to audit the financial statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Their report appears below. Their audits, as well as those of the Corporation’s internal audit department, include a review of internal accounting controls and selective tests of transactions.
      The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, consisting of directors who are not officers or employees of the Corporation, meets regularly with management, the independent accountants and the internal auditors, to review matters relating to financial reporting, internal accounting controls and auditing.

Report of Independent Accountants

To the Shareowners of United Technologies Corporation

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and the related consolidated statements of operations, of changes in shareowners’ equity and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of United Technologies Corporation and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2001, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
