Item 3. Legal Proceedings
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 21 of Notes to Financial Statements in "Item 8. Financial Statements and
Supplementary Data."
Environmental Matters Involving Potential Monetary Sanctions in Excess of $100,000
The United States Environmental Protection Agency and the United States Department of Justice ("federal
authorities") are investigating whether the storage of certain sludges generated during uranium hexafluoride
production at our Metropolis, Illinois facility has been in compliance with the requirements of the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act. The federal authorities have convened a grand jury in this matter. This storage
issue was previously voluntarily disclosed to the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, with whom Honeywell
has been working to resolve the matter. The Company has met with the federal authorities and is cooperating
fully with the investigation. Although the outcome of this matter cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not
believe that it will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, consolidated results of
operations or operating cash flows.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
Not Applicable.
