HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
(Dollars in millions, except per share amounts)
Trade Accounts Receivable includes $946 and $808 million of unbilled balances under long-term contracts
as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. These amounts are billed in accordance with the terms of the
customer contracts to which they relate.
We sell interests in designated pools of trade accounts receivables to third parties. The sold receivables are
over-collateralized by $101 million at December 31, 2007 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 pools. New receivables are sold under the agreement as previously sold receivables are collected.
Losses are recognized when our interest in the receivables are sold. The retained interests in the receivables are
shown at the amounts expected to be collected by us, and such carrying value approximates the fair value of our
retained interests. We are compensated for our services in the collection and administration of the receivables.
