AND UPON it being represented by theCompany to the Commission that:

1. The Company is incorporated under the lawsof the State of Delaware and its head office is located inMorristown, New Jersey.

3. In 1973, the Company became listed on TheToronto Stock Exchange (the TSX). The sole purpose of thelisting was to permit Allied Chemical Corporation, a predecessorof the Company, to take to lease, through a subsidiary, certainmining claims in the Northwest Territories as the Canada MiningRegulations, as they existed at that time, permitted non-Canadiancontrolled entities to take mining claims to lease if theshares of the parent company were listed on a stock exchangein Canada.

5. The Company voluntarily delisted its sharesfrom the TSX on September 13, 1988. The principal reason fordelisting the shares was the fact that the listing was nolonger needed for Canadian Mining Regulation purposes, asthe Company no longer had any mineral properties in the NorthwestTerritories, as well as the lack of any trading activity inthe Company's shares on the TSX.

6. The authorized capital of the Company consistsof 2,000,000,000 common shares, with a par value of one dollar,and 40,000,000 preferred shares, without par value. As ofFebruary 21, 2003, an aggregate of 855,585,367 common shareswere issued and outstanding. No preferred shares are issuedor outstanding. The common shares are listed and traded onthe New York Stock Exchange, the Chicago Stock Exchange, thePacific Exchange and the London Stock Exchange.

As ofJune 30, 2003 there were approximately 391 registered shareholderswith addresses in Ontario.

8. The Company is not a reporting issuer inany province in Canada other than Ontario and is not in defaultof any of its obligations as a reporting issuer. There areno securities of the Company listed or posted for tradingon any stock exchange or market in Canada. The Company hasno intention of seeking public financing by way of an offeringof its securities in Ontario.

9. The Company maintains reporting issuerstatus in the United States and delivers all disclosure materialrequired by U.S. securities law to its shareholders locatedin Ontario and Canada. This information is also availableto shareholders on the Internet at www.honeywell.com and throughthe U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission website at http://www.sec.gov/.

AND UPON the Commission being satisfiedthat to do so would not be prejudicial to the public interest;

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED pursuant to Section83 of the Act that the Company is deemed to have ceased to bea reporting issuer for the purposes of the Act.
